Qiao Jingjing asked her mother to lower her voice.
Mrs. Qiao suppressed her displeasure.
“I said we should just break off relations, but your useless old man said that person is Wu Hou’s man? Daughter, your youth is being wasted like this. You’re being sent over there, but their mother doesn’t even want him. You’re left here waiting. When will this ever end?”
When?
Under Liu Xun's control, Lujiang City had become a tough nut to crack.
It was not easy for Sun Ce to bring his large army to Lujiang City.
“Mother, that Lord Wu doesn’t dare to come now, but this Ameng is loyal and he refuses to leave just like that.”
"If you don't want to go this way, then how can you go?"
Grandma Qiao wanted to marry off her daughter, specifically her eldest daughter, to a man named Wei Cheng.
Lu Meng had already keenly sensed it.
For the past two weeks, he has been standing at the entrance of the Qiao family's Peach Blossom Lane, and he has returned anything that the Wei family sent him.
He even threatened, "Don't come back!"
When Mrs. Qiao found out, she was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath and lay down on the bed again.
Lu Meng was still not satisfied, so he went to Qiao's mother and said, "Madam, our Lord Wu's tens of thousands of troops are now fully prepared to march north to join forces with Cao Cao, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and others to attack Yuan Shu."
You should behave yourself! If our Lord Wu arrives in Lujiang City and doesn't see Miss Qiao, I can't guarantee what he might do!
"Don't believe me? You can go ask him how he dealt with those who were dissatisfied in Lujiang City when our Lord Wu was just a minor general."
Qiao Jingjing told Lü Meng to leave quickly.
“Amon! My mother is old and can’t be frightened like this.”
Lu Meng held a sword in his hand.
"Miss Qiao, you shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you must be wary of others. Be careful. Don't let your mother sell you one day and you're still counting the money for her."
Qiao Jingjing calmed Lü Meng down.
She's really having a tough time.
Are we just going to wait like this? From this winter to next year, and then from next spring to winter again.
As expected, under Lü Meng's strict guard, the Wei family dared not come again.
Mrs. Qiao dared not speak out in anger, and could only sit there sulking. When she felt unwell, she would take medicine.
Qiao Jingjing does have a way of diverting attention.
She started managing the mulberry orchard again, raising chickens and ducks, and also growing piglets.
Qiao Jingjing said, "This pork hind leg meat is boiled in plain water and then dipped in seasoning. The pork ribs and pork bones are soaked in coarse salt, then boiled to remove the scum, rinsed, and then used to make soup with two chunks of winter melon. The soup is so delicious."
Lu Meng didn't care.
He did waver at one point, wanting to quickly return to Sun Ce's side and fight on the battlefield.
He fought a fierce battle with powerful generals such as Taishi Ci, Yan Baihu, and Zu Lang.
He hadn't had a proper, satisfying fight in a long time.
He missed that feeling.
But in the end, he decided to stay by Qiao Jingjing's side.
It is often said that a general in the field may disobey orders.
He had been given a command and intended to uphold it for life.
No matter when Lord Wu arrives, he will stay until that day.
