This time, Qiao Er brought up old grievances.
"Of course it's because General Sun doesn't want my elder sister! If you don't want my elder sister, then no one will dare to marry her. Over the years, she hasn't been able to get married, and our family has been looked down upon. Even my younger sister is unwanted. My mother is angry and wants to scold them both."
That being said, it's true that my older sister is a proud person; she doesn't say what's on her mind.
Back then, my brother and I knew she was like this, so we forcibly tied her up and sent her to you in Qu'a, but who knew you weren't there. Qiao San and I then sent my elder sister to Madam Wu..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
Sun Ce found out that it was his elderly mother who had been instigated by Zhang Zhao.
It must have been his mother who rejected Da Qiao.
"You shameless thing! What are you still standing here for? Even if you were given away, no one would want you. You might as well be dead! What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to such a useless slut like you!" Mother Qiao jumped up and, in front of Sun Ce, swung her hand and hit Qiao Jingjing again.
Fists and slaps, attacking from both sides, like a storm.
Qiao Jingjing lowered her head and carefully avoided the attack.
"I was wrong! Mother, I was wrong."
"Where did you go wrong? Where did you go wrong..."
Qiao's mother completely forgot that there was such a person as Sun Ce in front of her.
Sun Ce used his body to shield Qiao Jingjing from her mother's rage.
"Madam!"
Stopping the irritable old woman, Sun Ce took Qiao Jingjing's hand, revealing new and old bruises of various sizes where her sleeve had slipped down.
At that moment, Sun Ce felt heartache, regret, and self-blame.
He was busy fighting, and he didn't know how to face Da Qiao after marrying into the Gu family, so he left her here.
She has suffered all these years.
"This is a misunderstanding."
Madam, Da Qiao is intelligent and resourceful, and Sun Ce longs for her. There must have been a misunderstanding before!
Grandma Qiao glared fiercely at Sun Ce, her eyes filled with murderous intent, as she looked at the hand that was tightly holding Qiao Jingjing's.
Qiao Jingjing tried to pull him back.
Sun Ce held her tightly, his gaze fixed on her stubborn face: "Da Qiao, come with me now! Kneel before your father and mother."
Qiao Manman was moved by this ending.
"General Sun, thank you... From now on, you must treat my sister well."
Qiao Manman's tears flowed silently.
She was so envious.
She wished that Zhou Lang, whom she longed for day and night, could stand before her at this very moment and take her away with him.
Qiao Jingjing did not kowtow to her parents.
Mrs. Qiao, with a stern face, shrugged her hand as if she hadn't heard a thing.
Qiao Jingjing understood what that meant.
"Take it away right now, don't leave it in front of me, it's annoying me to look at it!"
Sun Ce then actually pulled Qiao Jingjing away.
Peach Blossom Lane End.
Qiao Jingjing met Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai.
Qiao Jingjing was familiar with that veiled attire.
Qiao Jingjing stopped and asked Sun Ce with a smile, "General Sun, you must have important business to attend to this time?"
Sun Ce had already covered his face with his hand.
He does indeed have important business to attend to.
He raised his arm and placed Qiao Jingjing on his dappled horse.
He looked up at Qiao Jingjing.
She looked quite haggard and tired. Her eyes were still somewhat pitiful, and although there was a faint line on her cheek, she still wore a smile, making her all the more endearing.
If he has important business to attend to and leaves her behind again, as before, won't her family think he doesn't want her anymore? And they'll start beating and scolding her all the time again.
"My house is in complete chaos, I'm sorry to have made you laugh, General Sun."
Qiao Jingjing understood what Sun Ce wanted to say from his eyes.
Although she hadn't met the man in front of her many times and hadn't spent much time with him, and didn't know him well enough, she did know about Sun Ce in history.
He hasn't been called the Little Conqueror of Jiangdong yet; he's still on the path to dominating the land.
Qiao Jingjing reached out and used Sun Ce's shoulder to help her slide off the horse.
She stood in front of Sun Ce, a head shorter than him, and had to look up to see his chin.
"General Sun has important business to attend to on this trip, and it would be inconvenient for him to bring me along."
Besides, I won't just follow General Sun like that.
Sun Ce took Qiao Jingjing's hand, rolled up her sleeve, and revealed the clusters of scars.
"You've become quite mature in the years since I last saw you. Da Qiao, are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
Qiao Jingjing laughed.
"General Sun, you jest. You are a man destined for great things, how can you be so sentimental? It's like you're being a woman's sentimentality. What my family said is not to be believed."
It's not that I can't get married, it's that they didn't give me a chance.
For the past year or two, my mother has been keeping a close watch on me, and I haven't had a chance to show my face in public. You know? I used to be a wild child, but now that my mother is keeping an eye on me, she's doing it for my own good.
"General, if you have urgent business, please set off quickly and do not delay me."
Qiao Jingjing genuinely wanted Sun Ce to leave.
But when it comes to the word "delay".
But then she suddenly choked up.
She didn't know why either.
She was clearly not afraid of pain, not afraid of being hit by her elderly mother, and not afraid of being scolded by her elderly mother.
At this moment, she was moved to the point of asking Sun Ce to leave her sight.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she was still smiling.
Sun Ce had just praised her for becoming more composed when she immediately launched into another rapid-fire remark. He almost wanted to take back his composure, but then he saw tears welling up in her eyes.
Sun Ce gently raised his hand and touched Qiao Jingjing's face.
"I didn't know you had come to Qu'a to look for me. I'm sorry."
Qiao Jingjing pulled Sun Ce's hand down with her other hand;
