Then one day, I suddenly discovered that this forced marriage was also exceptionally sweet.
But the prerequisite is that both people are happy.
After Sun Yi's persuasion.
Sun Ce then called his second and third brothers over and said the words that Qiao Jingjing had just spoken, which had left the men of the time speechless and astonished.
"She said she wanted to stay here?"
Sun Quan and Sun Yi both laughed, laughing at Qiao Jingjing for overestimating herself. Now it wasn't a question of whether Qiao Jingjing wanted to leave or not.
"She said she wanted to be with only one person for life?"
Sun Yi didn't understand it the most.
Sun Quan frowned.
The brothers understood what Qiao Jingjing meant: she was saying that her eldest brother had married Madam Gu, and she felt disgusted with him.
She refused.
"This Da Qiao, Zhang Zibu's assessment of her is both accurate and inaccurate. She's certainly quite capable of causing trouble, brother..."
Sun Yi pondered this dilemma.
The eldest sister-in-law, Gu, was brought home by our mother. Does she expect my elder brother to divorce her just to please Da Qiao and make Da Qiao his legal wife?
Isn't this disobeying your mother?
Sun Quan said, "This is unacceptable."
Sun Ce also said, "Of course not."
Madam Gu has gone through so much hardship to give birth to the eldest son of the legitimate wife. No matter how unwilling he is, he still has to acknowledge her as his wife.
Sun Yi said again, "Who cares about her? Who cares if she wants to or not? Brother, why did you send Da Qiao back? Why send her back? I'll go and bring her to you right now. You can have a wedding night with her tonight and make this stubborn little cutie a fait accompli. Whether she wants to or not, she'll have to. How about that?"
Isn't this incredibly impressive move just as domineering as his father taking his mother away back then?
Sun Quan's face was already twitching vividly.
Sun Ce remained silent, but I suspect he thought the same thing.
However, now that he is the Marquis of Wu, he naturally needs to be a little more prudent in his words and actions.
Now, the whole city of Lujiang is watching him.
All his subordinates also observed his behavior.
If he were to forcibly abduct a woman at this time, and she were unwilling to comply...
If those busybodies take it and spread it around, it will seriously damage the reputation of Lord Wu.
Sun Yi clapped his hands and said he would arrange the job for his elder brother immediately.
Let the eldest brother look forward to his wedding night.
To be honest, Sun Ce was really looking forward to it.
But then Sun Quan said to him, “Brother, some people are reluctant to leave their homeland, and are even more afraid of leaving it. How much more so for Miss Da Qiao and her family, who have suffered so much hardship and wandering for so many years.”
After Sun Quan's persuasion, Sun Ce was comforted.
He understood. Qiao Jingjing was unwilling to leave Lujiang primarily because she and her family had endured many hardships over the years, and she had genuinely developed feelings for Lujiang, the place where she had settled. The fishponds and mulberry gardens here were all built with her hard work, and she cherished every blade of grass and every tree here.
Then, she felt jealous; she was envious because there was another woman, Mrs. Gu, in his family.
Sun Ce felt happy when he thought about it.
Women, you know, are often two-faced, saying one thing but meaning another.
She likes him and cares about him; that's an undeniable fact.
She wanted to have a more important place in his heart, and he could understand that.
It turned out that on that day, he sneaked into Lujiang City and saw her being slapped by his mother. He wanted to take her away then, but she refused.
He thought at the time that she was thinking of him and didn't want to be a burden to him.
It turns out that she was already feeling jealous back then.
The vinegar that has been fermenting for so many years is really sour.
He was careless and didn't understand it before.
