This thoughtful person was still considering Sun Quan's perspective and wanted to offer him some gentle advice:
"Sigh, sister-in-law is sister-in-law after all! She did all that for the sake of this family, for our Ah Xiang. Who told us to have such a lovable little sister like Ah Xiang? You already said those things in front of her today, and then you even want to keep an eye on her house. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
Yuan Shiyi put it very tactfully.
He just wanted to persuade Sun Quan not to block his sister-in-law's door.
But Sun Quan was truly determined.
That's his bottom line; you can't cross it.
Sun Quan also warned his beloved Lady Yuan again:
"Don't say another word! If you do, we'll lock you up too."
then.
Qiao Jingjing and her third brother's wife, Xu, were still sharing a bed, but neither of them could sleep well.
Xu was a straightforward person. She thought her method was the best, with the least loss to Jiangdong. She would still be one of Jiangdong's own people. It was the best method for someone from the Sun family to take Liu Bei hostage.
And then it was rejected.
The punishment was that he would not be allowed to be buried in the Sun family ancestral graveyard after his death.
This is really serious.
That's infuriating!
Qiao Jingjing couldn't sleep because of Sun Quan's harsh words.
Everyone has their own Achilles' heel.
Qiao Jingjing's Achilles' heel is that she will not allow her parents to be used by others on matters of principle and on which sides to take sides, so as to bring about a fatal disaster for her and the Qiao family.
Sun Quan's Achilles' heel was that he wouldn't allow anyone to make a move on his sister-in-law.
Qiao Jingjing is not afraid to expose her sore spot and let people talk about it.
What Sun Quan cared about most, however, was something he couldn't openly discuss.
This led to a conflict between Qiao Jingjing and Sun Quan.
Since Qiao Jingjing had already made up her mind, she was determined to stand on the side of her sister-in-law, Sun Shangxiang, and she was not the kind of person who would give up halfway through.
She wanted Ah Xiang to have a happy marriage.
May Ah Xiang be happy and joyful as she marries the person she loves.
Don't let Ah Xiang become a victim in marriage at such a young age.
But the current reality seems to prevent it.
Qiao Jingjing was well aware of Sun Quan's predicament.
They met when they were teenagers, from their first meeting in Lujiang City that year.
Over the course of more than ten years, Qiao Jingjing became the eldest sister-in-law and Sun Quan the second brother. They were family, and although they were not related by blood, they developed a deep bond of kinship.
Qiao Jingjing felt deeply that the matter had reached a stalemate.
Despite how much Liu Bei was disliked, Jiangdong couldn't eliminate him or use Cao Cao to kill him.
If Liu Bei hadn't been holding onto Jingzhou, Cao Cao would have been even more powerful if he had acquired half of Jingzhou, and Jiangdong would have been weaker.
That's probably why Liu Bei acted so recklessly.
Qiao Jingjing tossed and turned, lost in thought, unable to sleep for most of the night.
At the entrance of her mansion, Fubihai, besides Ling Tong leading men to keep watch at night, Sun Quan had already ordered an additional layer of guards to be placed around the outer perimeter.
Sun Quan entrusted this matter to the young general Pan Zhang, and there was absolutely no room for leniency.
We cannot be deterred by Lady Qiao's power; we must hold on.
Sun Quan would never have entrusted this important task to veterans like Zhang Zhao, Cheng Pu, or Huang Gai.
These veterans have had some connection with Lady Qiao over the years, and sometimes they can't help but soften their hearts.
Sun Quan absolutely could not allow Lu Xun to come.
Lu Xun is fine in other jobs, but when it comes to matters concerning Lady Da Qiao, he will do whatever she asks him to do, even if he knows it's inappropriate.
Sun Quan could only send Pan Zhang.
Pan Zhang is a young man, fearless and bold, and he was personally trained by Sun Quan.
In terms of martial arts, he was no less skilled than Lü Meng and Lin Tong. It was just that he was younger, so Pan Zhang's reputation in Jiangdong was not as great.
Pan Zhang is the perfect candidate to guard Fu Bi Hai.
As a result, Qiao Jingjing and her third sister-in-law were truly unable to leave the house.
Qiao Jingjing didn't find out until the next morning.
On the other hand, after she found out about this, she felt relieved.
I'm not afraid anymore.
Even if she didn't offend Sun Quan, she would still offend him.
Qiao Jingjing felt a little better this time that Sun Quan had taken some action against her.
To avoid Sun Quan holding a grudge against her and causing her to suffer even more later.
Therefore, Qiao Jingjing stopped arguing.
If they don't want us to go out, then they don't want us to go out. Just stay home.
Seeing this, Xu, the third sister-in-law, became anxious instead:
"Sister-in-law, do you think Second Brother is being reasonable? Locking you and me up at home? Putting aside everything else, just look at Mother. She's all alone in Linguang Prefecture, and Axiang isn't here either. Doesn't she need someone to look after her every morning and evening? Sigh, Second Brother is really something this time. We were just discussing things together, and if he disagrees, he just disagrees. Why get angry and lock people up?"
What Mrs. Xu said actually makes a lot of sense.
But if Sun Quan hadn't been forced into a corner by Qiao Jingjing and Xu Shi, would he have made such a helpless move?
Who can understand the bitterness in Sun Quan's heart?
The Battle of Red Cliffs was imminent at the time.
Sun Quan's sister is a troublemaker; she just left without a second thought. His sister-in-law didn't stop her, and then his third sister-in-law joined in the commotion. They're all quite something, all very capable, running all the way to the confluence of the three rivers in one go!
fortunately.
Fortunately, it was God's blessing.
Cao Cao won the battle at Sanjiangkou, and his hair and beard were burned to ashes.
What else?
Hmph! Will Sun Quan let these women continue to act so recklessly?
If Sun Quan couldn't even manage his own family members, especially the women who were powerless, how could he possibly govern Jiangdong? Isn't that the logic?
