Qiao Jingjing, all alone, stepped through the solemn and authoritative gate of the mansion with great courage.
What's there to be afraid of!
It's just rejecting a man's confession.
She had done similar things during her university years. Some of those she rejected threatened suicide, some publicly turned hostile towards her, and of course, some were indifferent.
What's the worst that could happen if she refuses Sun Ce? He'd just get angry and kill her.
Um.
Qiao Jingjing still wanted to live.
Qiao Jingjing cautiously approached Sun Ce's study.
Perhaps because she was preoccupied with her own thoughts, she didn't notice the serious atmosphere in the study.
She walked in very friendly; Sun Ce and his brothers were all there.
"Greetings, General Sun, and all generals."
She wanted to talk about this with Brother Sun alone.
But the atmosphere seemed quite serious at the time, so Qiao Jingjing was straightforward. She walked up to Brother Sun and placed the letter he had written back into his hands.
"General Sun, here you go. Please retract your words."
Qiao Jingjing originally wanted to explain the rest.
As a result, Sun Ce didn't pay any attention.
He didn't suddenly get angry as Qiao Jingjing had imagined, nor did he glare at her and accuse her.
Even Sun Quan and Sun Yi didn't jump out to ridicule her, nor did they mention that Qiao Jingjing had made a spineless plea, crying and begging to have a child for Brother Sun.
Brother Sun simply accepted the letter and instructed Lü Meng to properly escort Miss Qiao home.
Such a reasonable action left Qiao Jingjing completely baffled.
Lu Meng escorted Qiao Jingjing home, and they were almost at her doorstep.
Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but ask, "Ah Meng?"
The proverb "Wu Xia Ameng, a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation" originated from this gentleman.
This man, A Meng, had extremely poor literacy as a child, but he possessed exceptional talent in warfare. Later, Sun Quan instructed him, telling him that he not only needed to be good at fighting, but also to study and acquire cultural knowledge. Encouraged by Sun Quan, he truly studied diligently, and his perspective and style of doing things underwent a dramatic transformation, elevating him to a new level.
They are all future outstanding figures of Eastern Wu.
"Amon, what happened?"
Yes.
After thinking for a moment, Lü Meng told the truth: "Miss Qiao, it's like this, Yuan Shu has already issued an edict appointing Liu Xun as the Prefect of Lujiang and ordering our General Sun to hand over the seal of the Prefect!"
oh.
So that's what happened.
Qiao Jingjing then asked, "Would General Sun agree to this?"
“What can we do if our general disagrees or is unwilling? Miss Qiao, you don’t understand our general’s suffering. You don’t know what he has been through! When the general leads his brothers into battle, he never does it just for himself. He didn’t attack Lujiang City for his own governorship. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu would go back on his word! Alas, Miss Qiao, farewell from now on, take good care of yourself.”
Lu Meng dropped Qiao Jingjing off at her doorstep and left without hesitation.
Leaving Qiao Jingjing here at the door this time was a bit of an overthinking.
Brother Sun, are you leaving already?
She hasn't returned the gift Sun Ce gave her a few days ago!
Qiao Er and Qiao San weren't cooperating; she couldn't drag them away by herself. Qiao Jingjing hurried home, dragged Qiao Er and Qiao San out of bed, and returned the gifts with her.
Qiao Manman said she could.
But Qiao Jingjing wouldn't let her go.
"Brother Sun fought this battle with great difficulty. Even if he can't become the prefect, he can still get some money. It's good that he shares these things with his brothers."
Qiao Jingjing said that the Qiao family could not keep Sun's money.
As the three siblings hurried after the carriage to exchange for gifts, Sun Ce had already arrived at the city gate with his troops.
Qiao Jingjing chased after him all the way to the gate of Phoenix Terrace, panting heavily, and finally caught up with him.
"etc!
"wait--
"Amon, wait!"
"Zhongmou, wait—"
Qiao Jingjing called out to everyone, but none of them waited for her.
Only Brother Sun stopped from joining the vast procession.
In the brief moment he paused for her, he saw her rushing to deliver a car full of gifts, and his mood instantly soured.
Qiao Jingjing steeled herself and stepped forward.
They piled a carload of gifts in front of Brother Sun, thinking they understood his heroism and sorrow at that moment.
"Brother Sun, you, you..."
Take good care of yourself. Don't take your life lightly, and be careful when you kill someone.
I can't say these words to your face.
“Brother, I didn’t come to see you off today. But a few days ago, Zhongmou sent some things to my house. You know I can’t accept these things, but you might really need them on your journey.”
These words are even more hurtful!
Sun Ce just stared at Qiao Jingjing.
The bloodstain on Qiao Jingjing's face left a scar, faint and tinged with a tender red.
"You made a special trip just to say this?"
Qiao Jingjing nodded.
Sun Ce held a horsewhip in his hand.
"I remember everything you said to me back then!"
Um?
Qiao Jingjing looked up and fell into Brother Sun's deep eyes.
"Too much rigidity leads to breakage, too much wisdom leads to cunning. Da Qiao, I'm not in Lujiang City, so don't make enemies everywhere."
ah?
How did Brother Sun know that she had made enemies everywhere?
Qiao Jingjing, with her bright, lively eyes and hardworking hands, stood before Brother Sun. She was simply a farmer, completely absorbed in agriculture.
Brother Sun took out the letter again; it was wrinkle-free, and placed it in Qiao Jingjing's hand.
