Liu Xun was having a headache from his daughter's constant nagging.
Since Yuan Shikai's death, the current world situation has changed dramatically.
Now in the north, Cao Cao's power is growing stronger and stronger.
Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords.
Fortunately, his relationship with Cao Cao had always been quite good.
Even Sun Ce, who was far away in the Kuaiji and Qu'a area, knew that he was sending gifts to the court to cultivate good relations with Cao Cao.
Liu Xun couldn't afford to neglect this aspect.
His in-laws had died, and his daughter and son-in-law had come to Lujiang City to seek refuge with him. His daughter, after all, was his own. But what should he do with his son-in-law?
Yuan Yao, the son-in-law, was spoiled by Yuan Shu from childhood and didn't have much ability. He was at least not as good as Sun Ce, who now dominates Jiangdong.
He was also somewhat inferior to Cao Cao's sons.
It's estimated that he was just like the two sons of Yuan Shao, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were spoiled brats in their youth.
When they grew up and their elderly father could no longer support the family, they realized that there were always people more capable than them, and that the world was incredibly cruel.
Liu Xun arranged an official position for his son-in-law Yuan Yao, giving him two thousand men to lead.
His daughter has been staying at the mansion for the past few days since she came home.
Two years earlier, he had already divorced Madam Wang.
When the daughter came back, she made a scene again, demanding to punish Qiao Jingjing and also demanding to speak up for Wang Shi.
Ultimately, all the reasons point to Qiao Jingjing.
"Are you ever going to stop? I didn't divorce your mother. It was her own choice. She didn't want to live a good life with me. She wanted to leave. She packed her things and left!"
Liu Xun's explanation seemed weak and unconvincing.
Liu Ajiao blocked her father's path.
"Father, Mother left on her own? Did you go to bring her back? Lady Ding, the wife of Cao Mengde in the north, went back to her parents' home in anger, and Cao Mengde personally went to pick her up."
"Father, how could you be so fickle? I told you long ago that Qiao Jingjing is a slut. You were deceived by her, but you wouldn't believe me. She just doesn't want peace in our family. Look, you've done what she wanted, driving Mother away. But have you managed to marry Qiao Jingjing as you wished?"
Liu Ajiao's few words left Liu Xun utterly humiliated.
He did not marry Qiao Jingjing.
For those two years, he really felt quite addicted and couldn't stop.
But ever since that fortune teller told him that the thin scar on Qiao Jingjing's face actually had a huge impact, how could the wife of a prefect have a scar on her face?
At the very least, one should have a dignified and poised demeanor that befits the occasion.
Now, his forces are growing stronger and stronger.
He doesn't get involved with those people.
In the north, it's either one attacking another, or one attacking another.
He was like Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and Gao Zhucheng who stockpiled grain and made a fortune in secret.
Let that guy who likes to fight go ahead and fight.
Anyone who dares to challenge him will be in for a world of hurt.
"I'm busy here, you go back to your room first! Don't worry about Qiao Jingjing's matter, put aside your grudges with her, do you hear me? I still have a use for her."
Liu Ajiao completely ignored her father's words.
What's the point of keeping Qiao Jingjing around?
What a scourge!
