Although our fourth young lady came back, she's gone again now.
Fourth Miss accompanied Governor Zhou to Liu Bei's wedding banquet again, to drink the wine at Liu Bei and Miss Sun's wedding! Our Second and Third Young Masters aren't home either; the house is empty, it's not proper!"
Uncle Peng talked about these everyday family matters.
Qiao Jingjing was truly filled with anger.
What she was thinking about was the nation and the world, matters of great importance. Her family, on the other hand, only ever bothered her with trivial matters!
Her parents, who had lived a long and arduous life, couldn't even handle something as simple as Liu Ji's wedding! And now, they're still thinking of asking someone to come and call her!
Hmph.
Having such clumsy parents is truly baffling.
What if she were to remain imprisoned in Fubihai by Sun Quan and never be able to escape? Wouldn't Liu Ji's marriage become a huge joke?
Qiao Jingjing was angry, but she was still angry.
In the end, I still felt sorry for my poor sworn brother, Liu Ji.
Liu Ji was a promising young man with a kind heart, and he and Sun Shangxiang were a perfect match.
pity!
This is the cruel twist of fate, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Sun Quan was despicable; he insisted on making this perfect couple marry on the same day.
It's all to put an end to their hopes, isn't it?
Qiao Jingjing could easily understand Sun Quan's intentions.
Sun Lao Er is truly despicable!
As Qiao Jingjing walked, she couldn't help but keep thinking about it.
If Sun Quan were still in front of her, she would definitely give him a good scolding.
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!
Could it be that Sun Quan feared that after Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, she would still be hung up on Liu Ji, that Liu Ji would repeat Lu Xun's mistake, and that Liu Ji would remain unmarried for many years out of devotion? This might displease Liu Bei, affect his mood, and undermine the stability of the Sun-Liu alliance.
"Power? I want power! Territory? I want territory! In this world, how much territory and power can one possibly have? That's your sister, not mine! She's your own sister, Sun Quan's own sister, and I'm acting like I care about her! I do care, yes, I do! But this second brother doesn't care. Humph, it's all my fault, Qiao Jingjing, that I owe the Sun family! Your eldest brother is gone, and I, as his sister-in-law, have done all his work and taken on all his burdens!"
I'm destined to worry my whole life.
The wife's family is rife with petty squabbles and chaos, while the husband's family bears heavy responsibilities and cannot escape the rift between them.
Okay, I'll go right now. I want Liu Ji to get married in peace. I want to see him settle down and start a family so he won't have to worry about affecting so-and-so anymore!
OK!
From now on, each man has a wife and each woman has a husband; everyone lives their own lives!
snort!
Hmph!
Qiao Jingjing stormed down Beigu Mountain in a huff.
Qiao Jingjing followed Uncle Peng timidly the whole way.
Lu Meng and Lin Tong stayed by his side cautiously, not daring to utter a sound.
We followed Uncle Peng to the entrance of a newly acquired house in Jingkou.
Although the house is not large, it is elegantly and comfortably decorated.
It looks like a cozy place perfect for newlyweds to enjoy their simple life together.
Qiao Jingjing angrily cursed all the way until she arrived at the gate of the Liu residence, then thought that this was the new home of her poor sworn brother Liu Ji.
For the sake of good fortune for the newlyweds and for the good days of the poor people, Qiao Jingjing finally managed to calm her expression, took several deep breaths to adjust herself, and stepped inside.
Qiao Jingjing's journey began when she met Uncle Peng on Beigu Mountain.
All the expressions on people's faces, and the harsh words and curses—those who cursed Sun Quan, those who were dissatisfied with Sun Quan, and those who were very angry and annoyed about Liu Bei's marriage to Sun Quan's sister—all reached Liu Bei's side.
Liu Bei was cunning.
Although he is now a groom, he has many social obligations, and even Sun Quan personally presided over the wedding, making it a grand affair.
Liu Bei, however, still kept his guard up.
He was afraid that Sun Quan would plot against him at this wedding.
Liu Bei was afraid that the veiled girl sent by Sun Quan might assassinate him in the middle of the night.
Liu Bei had ten schemes in his heart.
When his informant returned and told him that this was how Lady Da Qiao reacted, she was furious and cursed all the way from Beigu Mountain when Sun Quan and his entourage left.
Liu Bei was much relieved.
alright!
Ha ha.
The eldest sister-in-law finally got angry with Sun Lao Er.
A rift finally developed.
alright.
Furthermore, the bride Liu Bei was leading, though her head was covered by a veil, her figure and the way she walked were undoubtedly those of Sun Quan's sister, whom Liu Bei knew.
Liu Bei was a warrior and a martial artist; he only needed to gently approach the woman beside him.
Listening to her breathing, holding her small, tender hand, and feeling the steps she took, Liu Bei knew that this woman had practiced martial arts for many years. Her hands were white and soft, but the skin at the base of her thumb was a bit thick, which was something only young ladies from well-to-do families who were skilled in swordsmanship would have.
Furthermore, the bride's movements were so agile and light, indicating excellent leg strength. Sun Quan's sister loved riding horses and shooting arrows, so who else could it be but her?
Liu Bei's ten schemes were all running at high speed.
Sun Quan happily presided over the grand wedding, and everyone from Jiangdong came to celebrate.
Sun Quan married off his sister, and Liu Bei married a wife.
Everyone congratulated Sun Quan and Liu Bei on finally becoming a family.
This brother-in-law and sister-in-law are a perfect match.
As for the Liu family...
As soon as Qiao Jingjing entered the door, she went into the lobby.
The wedding banquet was lavish, but lacked liveliness.
They were waiting for Qiao Jingjing.
Liu Ji finally saw his elder sister arrive.
Liu Ji led his bride over, and the newlyweds knelt before their elder sister: "Liu Ji is here to thank you, elder sister, for raising and educating me. I also thank you for arranging my marriage and for helping me win the hand of my beloved, thus fulfilling my lifelong happiness!"
