Sun Quan left in anger.
Xu felt no fear at all when she saw her second brother Sun Quan get angry.
On the contrary, Qiao Jingjing was scared.
She may have spoken without thinking at the time.
She knew that it was Sun Quan's most important thing—face and reputation—as well as his concern and affection for his deceased elder brother and third brother.
Sun Quan could never bring himself to abandon his widowed sister-in-law and brother-in-law to marry Liu Bei and sit down in such a reprehensible position.
But the truth is that Qiao Jingjing and Xu Shi expressed this intention to Sun Quan repeatedly.
Both beautiful widows were willing to use their beauty to seduce Liu Bei for the sake of Sun Quan's great cause and for the sake of Jiangdong.
That's so wrong!
This really hurts a man's self-esteem.
This was especially damaging to the future emperor of Eastern Wu.
That night, Xu stayed at Fubihai.
The two sisters-in-law lay together on the bed, one staring blankly at the bed curtains, the other sighing.
It seems that this situation has reached a stalemate.
After Liu Bei returned to the post station, his slightly tipsy mind was filled with joy.
Sun Quan put Liu Bei through several tests, from the executioners to the poisoned wine, but Liu Bei passed them all.
As a result, Sun Quan had to bring out his own sister, the hot-tempered little princess, to discuss marriage with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei has achieved his goal!
How happy!
Although Liu Bei could not return to Qiao Xuan's house tonight to sleep in the same bed with that old man Qiao and chat about everything under the sun.
But none of that matters.
Although the Qiao family had already returned the pile of red gifts and trunks that Liu Bei had temporarily stored at the Qiao family's residence.
This did not affect Liu Bei's mood at all.
Liu Bei's calculations regarding Sun Quan were extremely accurate.
Sun Quan had to choose between his widowed sister-in-law Da Qiao and his younger sister Sun Shangxiang.
If Sun Quan couldn't bear to part with his own sister, he could offer up his sister-in-law instead, which would make Liu Bei even happier.
If they couldn't bear to part with their sister-in-law and couldn't lose face, then they had to send that cute and charming young lady to Liu Bei's side.
Ha ha.
As the saying goes, Zhou Yu's brilliant plan to secure the world ended up costing him both his wife and his army.
Jiangdong must have a wife to accompany Liu Bei.
As for losing troops...
Hehehe.
Did they think that Zhuge Liang had been busy for nothing all this time in Jingzhou?
Zhuge Liang had already made preparations.
When Liu Bei set out for Jiangdong, he made preparations on two fronts: Zhuge Liang strengthened the defense of Jingzhou on one hand, and prepared to send troops to Xichuan on the other.
It seemed that Liu Bei's life was about to reach its peak.
In the near future, Liu Bei will bring his newlywed wife from Jiangdong to Xichuan and become its ruler.
From then on.
Liu Bei was stationed in Xichuan, echoing Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and they were connected by a marriage alliance that was inseparable and indestructible.
Let's all work together happily to deal with Cao Mengde.
It angered Cao Mengde to death.
Liu Bei's plan was truly brilliant.
Sun Quan was so infuriated by Liu Bei, that cunning old fox, precisely because he saw through all these schemes and plots.
Most importantly, among Sun Quan's family members, the younger sister who should have stepped forward to shoulder the heavy responsibility ran away, while the two who shouldn't have stepped forward insisted on doing so!
Sun Quan angrily made some harsh remarks in front of his sister-in-law and his third sister-in-law.
Even after leaving, Sun Quan was still worried.
After all, Sun Quan had always treated his sister-in-law and his third sister-in-law with great respect, granting them much freedom and rights.
Let's not even talk about Da Qiao, the eldest sister-in-law. She has people under her command, and any one of them she casually calls out is arrogant. If she were in the Spring and Autumn or Warring States period, she could hold her own against Lord Xinling or Lord Mengchang.
The third brother's wife, Xu, also had people working for her.
Sun Quan recalled the performances of Da Qiao and Xu Shi during the Battle of Red Cliffs, and after returning to Liuyun Palace, he couldn't put his mind at ease.
It's not time to make peace with Liu Bei yet, and Sun Quan is afraid that his sister-in-law and his third brother's wife will cause trouble again.
At that point, he'll be helpless, and crying won't help.
Sun Quan returned to Lady Yuan's room.
His beloved Lady Yuan was distressed that he had gotten drunk and had even argued with his sister-in-law and third sister-in-law that night. She was extremely worried and wanted to comfort Sun Quan and get him some rest.
"My husband, please take a nap and rest. You'll be fine by tomorrow morning."
Sun Quan, his face still flushed, stood in front of Yuan Shiyi, staring at her.
Yuan Shiyi thought Sun Quan was drunk and in a drunken state.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan said to her seriously:
"I've made my decision. During this time, my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law are not allowed to leave the house! You are not allowed to help with this! I've only told you this news now, and if it leaks out, you will be held responsible. I'm going to send people to keep Fu Bihai under control until the marriage alliance between Liu Bei and our Jiangdong is finalized. Only then can my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law leave the house! During this time, my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law should stay at home with the children. You are not allowed to go to them or pass on any messages for them, do you understand?"
Sun Quan's voice was so serious, so meticulous.
That is beyond dispute.
Yuan Shiyi had no choice but to listen.
Yuan Shiyi felt sorry for Sun Quan, who was forced into this situation. Fearing that his sister-in-law and third sister-in-law might cause trouble behind his back, he had no choice but to keep them at home to prevent them from causing him any trouble.
But Yuan Shiyi's heart was ultimately with his sister-in-law, Qiao Jingjing.
My sister-in-law has maintained her status in Jiangdong all these years. When will she ever be reduced to being confined at home?
My sister-in-law is such a free spirit.
Yuan Shiyi was genuinely worried that Sun Quan and his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing would be unhappy to see each other in the future.
