One should not think in such a narrow way.
One's perspective should not be so narrow.
The more you think about it that way, the narrower your perspective becomes.
Xu Jiao did not examine her mistakes, nor did she reflect on whether she had been a good helpmate to Sun Quan during the most critical time in Jiangdong, or whether she had helped Sun Quan stabilize the large Sun family.
Xu Jiao did not reflect on whether she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a head of the household.
However, her petty pride and jealousy amplified her limited understanding.
She did something wrong.
First, he mistreated Sun Ce's son and daughter.
Secondly, he mistreated Yuan Shiyi, the apple of Sun Quan's eye, causing her to lose her unborn child.
The third is to slander his sister-in-law, Qiao Jingjing.
Any one of her crimes would be enough to give Sun Quan reason to dislike her.
Because Xu Jiao's father, Xu Kun, is dead.
Sun Quan also had many more fierce generals emerging around him.
Xu Kun and the Xu family were no longer as important to Sun Quan, as new and powerful generals came to his side.
Xu Jiao didn't understand.
Xu Jiao still thought she was the same person she was back then. Even though she married into the Lu family and became a widow, she was still able to be carefully brought to the Sun family by Sun Quan and immediately become the principal wife.
What Xu Jiao didn't understand, Qiao Jingjing understood perfectly.
Qiao Jingjing remembers everything.
They're just waiting for the right opportunity to make their move against Xu Jiao.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xun and Zhang Zhao came to visit Fu Bihai.
Lu Xun said, "The young princess is at the Jingkou naval camp. She asked me to find ten large warships, saying they had flaws. But we don't know what those flaws are, and now the young princess has disappeared!"
So that's what it was about.
Qiao Jingjing said, "The princess is lively; she says whatever comes to mind. She must have thought of something else! I'll have A Luo go and invite the princess over. You all wait here for a moment."
Qiao Jingjing asked A Luo to invite Sun Shangxiang.
A Luo searched the entire Beigu Mountain.
We searched Linhua Mansion, Liuyun Palace, Yunguang Mansion, and even Sun Quan's Qinde Palace and Wenyuan Pavilion. Nothing was found.
At that point, Qiao Jingjing was almost certain that Sun Shangxiang had tricked her.
The person is probably no longer in Jingkou.
Qiao Jingjing told people not to make a fuss.
She instructed Zhang Zhao: "Quickly send people to search in the direction of Sanjiangkou, Jiaozhou, and Wujun! Once you find the princess's whereabouts, if you cannot persuade her to return, send more people to follow her!"
Zhang Zhao now obeyed Qiao Jingjing's orders very readily, and quickly went to carry them out.
Lu Xun also had to apologize to Qiao Jingjing for his mistakes:
"It was my oversight; Lu Xun was at fault!"
Qiao Jingjing told Lu Xun not to do that.
“Once Ah Xiang has made up her mind, not even her second brother can stop her, let alone me! Ah Xiang has been a proud little princess who has been spoiled by everyone for so many years.”
The matriarch doted on her, her eldest brother doted on her back then, but now her second brother is overwhelmed with problems all day long. He wants to take good care of her, but how can he?
She would frequently bring up her deceased eldest brother, her deceased third brother, and her father who died young, and no one dared to interfere!
Sigh, I hope we can find it.
Let's investigate this matter thoroughly first! Zhongmou will be back soon too.
Zhongmou and Gongjin have even bigger matters to discuss, so you should go back and prepare as well. The affairs of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and our Eastern Wu are of even greater importance.
Ah Xiang's situation isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. Since she had the audacity to run away from home, let her fend for herself!
Qiao Jingjing spoke sternly.
He was also worried about Sun Shangxiang.
It is most likely that Sun Shangxiang went to Jiaozhou.
Qiao Jingjing thought that her daughter was young and naive, and was afraid that she might encounter danger.
Then, thinking about the general course of history that followed, they decided to discuss the marriage alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
The idea was to marry the young Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei, who was 30 years her senior.
Qiao Jingjing ultimately felt she couldn't bear it.
As for her sister-in-law running away from home, most likely to Jiaozhou to find Liu Ji, Qiao Jingjing just let it go.
Anyway, as the eldest sister-in-law, she could explain herself to Sun Quan, as she did indeed send someone to look for him.
They sent wave after wave of people.
Qiao Jingjing's mother-in-law, Madam Wu, has been getting older and her health is deteriorating day by day.
Madam Wu could hardly manage any of the big or small matters at home.
These days, I've been living in fear and anxiety because of the battle at Sanjiangkou.
I miss my daughter, son, and daughter-in-law.
Finally, the youngest daughter, Sun Shangxiang, returned home, and Madam Wu was overjoyed. But then she heard that her youngest daughter had not returned home and had run away.
Over the course of several days, many people went out to search for her and then returned to report that the young princess had gone to Jiaozhou.
Madam Wu was so anxious that she burst into tears.
She called all her daughters-in-law to her side. Now, Madam Wu's only son was away managing important affairs, and the family relied solely on these daughters-in-law.
Look at these pitiful daughters-in-law; two out of three are widows.
Madam Wu felt sorry for her.
The tears were streaming down.
"Sigh, she's my only daughter, my only daughter! How could she just leave like that? Without even coming back to tell me!"
"You sisters-in-law, you spoil Ah Xiang so much every day, why don't you go and find her for me, bring her back!"
Madam Wu has reached the point where she needs to use a cane.
Qiao Jingjing steadily supported her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, we've already sent people to look for them. They'll catch up sooner or later!"
The third daughter-in-law, Xu, then spoke the most fair words:
“Mother, we are just as worried as you about A-Xiang’s departure! But you know A-Xiang’s temperament best. Everyone in the family spoils her, which is why she’s so unruly. You may not like hearing what your daughter-in-law is saying, but there’s nothing we can do! In the whole of Jiangdong, who can go against A-Xiang’s wishes? A-Xiang insisted on going to Jiaozhou, Mother, don’t you know why?”
