Mrs. Joe stared at the so-called Big Joe for a long time.
no.
This child is not her child.
"Are you my daughter?"
"Um."
"You're so ugly!"
"It's alright."
Qiao Jingjing responded modestly to her elderly mother, but her mother could no longer accept it.
The old mother once patted her chest and promised Meng Degong that her daughter Da Qiao was a great beauty, just like she was in her youth, captivating all the world.
As a result, this is how she looks and what she exudes.
How to captivate all beings?
After many years, Mrs. Qiao and Mr. Qiao reunited. As night fell, they sat face to face on the same bed. They didn't know where to begin with their conversation, so they simply remained silent.
There's no need to ask each other how we got through the past years; just talk about what to do now.
"Qiao Xuan, I entrusted my precious daughter to you, and how did you raise her like this? My young lady has been turned into a peasant woman! Good heavens! I heard she spends all her time at home, either raising chickens or ducks, either working in the fields or fishing..."
“Madam, Da Qiao is hardworking and kind. She takes care of her younger siblings and manages all the affairs of the household. In recent years, we have not been able to live a life of luxury like those in Luoyang. It is not Da Qiao’s fault that she has lost her skills in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance.”
"Not at fault?"
Mrs. Joe was furious.

"Qiao Xuan, are you out of your mind? Don't you know the proper etiquette for women? I'm putting on a nice show here, treating you like a guest. Lord Mengde has been very courteous to me, but you're still a guest. You've ruined Da Qiao's face, destroyed her figure and dancing skills, and roughened her hands. Do you think Cao Mengde's sons will still look at her? Qiao Xuan, do you want to watch me die?"
As she spoke, Aunt Qiao began to cry.
In the dead of night, the elderly couple reunited, but they couldn't agree on anything and the meeting ended with Mrs. Qiao crying and making a scene.
The purpose of Qiao's mother crying was to make Qiao Xuan nervous.
Qiao Xuan still had some influence with these people back then.
Qiao Xuan had to step in and get a straight answer from Cao Mengde. With his eldest daughter's looks, she had no chance of becoming the principal wife; it was just a matter of whether he had the luck to keep her as a concubine.
Qiao's mother did not want to go south to Lujiang.
Qiao Xuan was almost persuaded by his long-lost wife.
Yes, his eldest daughter is really clueless when it comes to marriage.
Sun Ce was indeed a fine young man—capable, courageous, energetic, and driven. But in the end, Da Qiao was rejected by her family.
Perfect.
This is perfect.
Old Man Qiao quickly got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, and wrote a small note to Cao Mengde.
