Qiao Jingjing clutched the bottle of medicine, which looked quite valuable, and pondered a serious question.
"That means they know we live here!"
"Sister, did the second son of their family bring you medicine on his own initiative, or was it Sun Ce's idea?"
"Sun Ce's intentions are truly unfathomable! He's always so cold, yet he manages to save his sister's life at crucial moments."
"My sister has some wound medicine, but she didn't remind me. I think the medicine they gave me is better than what's on your back now."
"Qiao Er hasn't returned even after half a day!"
"I think the doctors in the city are quite afraid of death these days. With Sun Ce's men searching the whole city, who would dare to go out?"
Qiao Manman answered herself, and even took out the wound medicine and applied it to Qiao Jingjing's face and back.
It seems that Qiao Manman has great faith in this bottle of wound medicine.
However, this bottle of wound medicine was not specifically given to Qiao Jingjing by Sun Ce.
It was Sun Quan, Sun Ce's clever younger brother, who figured it out himself.
They searched the city for the remaining rebels and captured a pedantic man in the home of a wealthy family. The man was cursing Sun Ce loudly. He was sworn to be loyal to Lu Kang and cursed Sun Ce as a thief and a lackey of Yuan Shu.
Sun Ce got angry after being scolded, so he dragged out everyone in their family, big and small. Those who were still not convinced were killed, and those who were convinced were kicked out.
Upon searching the house again, they found some valuable items.
One of the items, personally appraised by Sun Ce, was a top-quality wound medicine. Sun Ce tossed the bottle back to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan understood immediately.
His elder brother was always very generous to his brothers, and would reward them with whatever good things he got, but he didn't give them away randomly or without any purpose.
The eldest brother always prioritizes what others need.
Sun Zhongmou was neither wounded by a knife nor sprained his ankle this time, so he didn't need any wound medicine.
This must have been given to him by his elder brother, who instructed him to deliver medicine to that beautiful woman in Peach Blossom Lane in the south of the city.
The story is a bit convoluted.
Normally, soldiers on campaigns would carry some kind of liniment or ointment for sprains and bruises, right? Unfortunately, Sun Ce was constantly out in the wind and rain, amidst the clash of swords and the shadows of spears, and he often ended up with some bruises. Lately, he had been getting a lot of minor injuries, and he had used up all the wound medicine he had prepared.
If so, on the day Qiao Jingjing was lowered from the city gate tower and had just received that whip, Sun Ce would have given her a bottle of fragrant wound medicine in a dashing manner.
To soothe the wounded heart of the beautiful woman.
But there was no medicine back then, and he was busy fighting with people.
After driving Lu Kang away, he then had to stabilize the situation in the entire city.
He was worried about the woman's injuries, but he couldn't leave her side.
Therefore, Sun Quan, true to his name, was adept at weighing pros and cons. Sun Zhongmou was skilled in strategy, understood people's hearts, and knew what his elder brother was thinking and what he was worried about.
When Sun replied to his elder brother, he honestly said, "Miss Qiao is frail, and that whip injured her quite badly. There's a large bloody welt on her back, which is heartbreaking to see."
Sun Ce had already tried his best to remain calm in front of his brothers.
As calm and uneventful as ever.
To avoid Zhang Zhao saying that he was bewitched by a witch or something similar.
Upon hearing his second brother's words, Sun Ce couldn't hold back and stared at his brother with wide eyes.
What does that mean? Miss Qiao has a large bloodstain on her back!
His second brother saw Miss Qiao's beautiful back?
Sun Lao Er nodded earnestly.
He told the truth that when he went to deliver the medicine, he opened the door and saw Miss Qiao lying on the couch with her back bare, looking very pained, as if she was waiting for the medicine.
Sun Ce's strange emotions were a bit overwhelming.
She was embarrassed to lose her temper in front of her younger brother, but she couldn't help but close her eyes.
But his adorable second brother told him, "Big brother, don't be embarrassed. I didn't tell Miss Qiao that you sent this medicine. I only said that the medicine is very effective and told Miss Qiao not to be afraid and to rest and recover."
Sun Ce nodded.
He nodded vigorously.
His younger brother is only a few years younger than him! Given time, if this second brother reads more books and sees more of the world, he could become an extraordinary person.
Everyone around him said that Sun Ce was amazing, but only the eldest brother knew the truth. Although Sun Quan was young at the time, he often offered advice to his elder brother, and all his plans were spot on.
His second brother probably knew best about his feelings for that woman in the entire camp.
Despite being his close friend since childhood, Zhou Gongjin may not have known much about his elder brother's secret.
It's strange, really.
As the eldest brother, Sun Ce first met Da Qiao in Lu Kang's stable. She was cornered and hid in the stable, where she accidentally encountered him.
As a masked man in black, he naturally acted without hesitation and took her hostage.
It's just that her face was too lively and vivid at the time.
He still thinks about it often when the night is quiet.
But Zhang Zibu said she didn't fancy him!
Zibu said that Miss Qiao was unwilling to have children with his brother Sun.
It wasn't just Zibu who said that.
That night, in Sunziying outside Lujiang City, so many people were listening.
She would rather admit she was a witch and be thrown into the river than agree to his request to have his child.
Perhaps this is her true nature.
She was quick-witted, her words shifting and changing, but when it came to the most fundamental and essential things, she couldn't bear to part with them. For example, her precious life and her reputation as a woman.
