Sun Quan also fell silent.
Qiao Jingjing remained silent for a while.
She said:
"This is originally my fault. During the more than one year of the Southern Tour, Ah Xiang and Liu Ji became closer. I failed to discipline Liu Ji properly, and I also indulged Ah Xiang."
But the mother may not know!
One day, there will be a woman like that in this world:
They can choose the person they love and spend their lives with him. If they are happy, they will stay with this man for life; if they are not happy, they will part ways and never owe each other anything again. If they are happy, they can have many children; if they feel burdened, they can choose not to have children.
Women are human beings too!
They are also people with the right to make independent choices.
If Sun Ce had been alive back then, he would have tried to understand what Qiao Jingjing said, and he certainly would have been able to.
But the more Madam Wu listened, the more confused she became.
Madam Wu's heart still longed for the man before her, her only son.
Since this son took control of Jiangdong, things have been in complete chaos.
Ah Xiang is his only sister, and he can't just leave her behind.
“Ah Xiang can’t just marry someone she likes and then leave! Ah Xiang should be like any of the women in the Sun family, like her aunt Madam Sun, like her second sister-in-law Xu Jiao, or even like you, Da Qiao, and be a right-hand woman in this family!”
Madam Wu finally gave her conclusion.
Late at night, Qiao Jingjing invited her mother-in-law, Madam Wu, and her second brother, Sun Quan, to discuss Sun Shangxiang's marriage.
Despite all our efforts, this is still the outcome.
Sun Quan concluded by saying, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to worry about A Xiang's marriage anymore! You feel sorry for A Xiang, and I feel sorry for A Xiang too! But Liu Ji is different."
Of course, Liu Ji is a good young man, and I will compensate him by giving him an official position, sending him to work outside the region, and training him.
As for Ah Xiang's husband, I will make my own decision.
After Sun Quan finished speaking those words.
Qiao Jingjing then knew that there was no turning back on Sun Shangxiang's marriage.
With Liu Bei's wives, Lady Gan and Lady Mi, both dead, he would be a suitable husband for Sun Shangxiang, given his virtuous widower status and the title of Imperial Uncle.
A few days later.
Liu Ji was sent by Sun Quan to Jiaozhou to serve as the Commandant of Dingwei in Jiaozhou. As he spoke, he packed his bags and went to take up his post.
Sun Shangxiang only learned of the news at the very end, and there was no time to see Liu Ji off.
Sun Shangxiang could only come to her sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing crying.
Qiao Jingjing held the girl who was crying uncontrollably.
Zhuge Liang was engaged in a debate with the Confucian scholars ahead.
After Zhuge Liang emerged from seclusion, this was his first diplomatic mission, negotiating with Liu Bei in Jiangdong. He was determined to succeed.
"Silly girl, don't cry! He's just going to Jiaozhou to serve as an official and benefit the people. It's not worth you acting like it's a matter of life and death. Life is full of partings and reunions, and we'll meet again someday. The man you said you debated with the scholars that day has arrived; you'll definitely go and meet him!"
Qiao Jingjing brought up serious matters to distract Sun Shangxiang from her heartbreak over her recent breakup.
"That man went too far. He wanted to form an alliance with us, but he was being difficult and used provocation. He said that as long as we handed over your sister-in-law and her younger sister to Cao Cao, we could quell Cao Cao's army of 800,000!"
ah!
Upon hearing this, Sun Shangxiang...
What kind of nonsense is this?
What kind of scoundrel?
Sun Shangxiang wiped away her tears: "I pulled out his tongue! He really thinks we Jiangdong has no one left! My eldest brother and third brother died, but we're not all dead!"
