As the mother of the Marquis of Wu, Lady Wu lived in constant fear while her son was away fighting, and could hardly sit still at home. Before her son even returned home, she had already heard that her eldest son had brought back a beautiful woman from Lujiang City.
Fortunately, her eldest son only wanted Da Qiao, who suddenly became a national "model woman," and gave Xiao Qiao to Zhou Yu.
The second son married a girl from the Yuan family.
The third son, in a moment of madness, took Yuan's daughter-in-law, who was Liu Xun's daughter from Lujiang City.
The old mother was so angry at home.
After her husband died, although her younger brother from her maternal family could help her over the years, her husband's former subordinates had not completely forgotten her and continued to look after her.
But as a widow, she had to accumulate a lot of life experience to survive those years.
Especially women who bring chaos to politics and are considered sources of trouble.
No, really no good.
Bringing them home will bring unrest to the household.
Two daughters-in-law, personally chosen by Madam Wu, sat beside her, one after the other.
There were originally three original versions.
Her eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Gu, was gentle and capable, and the one she relied on most among all the daughters-in-law. Two years ago, she gave birth to the Sun family's eldest grandson, but she suddenly died half a month ago.
She hadn't had a chance to tell her eldest son the news yet.
Madam Wu quickly chose another woman from the Gu family to continue her position as the principal wife.
Just let her son know when he gets back.
The second daughter-in-law, Xie, was also a lady from a prestigious family.
The third daughter-in-law, Xu, initially did not get along with the third son, but later won his favor.
Madam Wu was accompanied by her several daughters-in-law, and her most beloved youngest daughter, Sun Shangxiang.
Ah Xiang was just over ten years old.
They don't know any better.
But then he heard from the servants around his mother that his brothers had won a battle and brought back many people, property and supplies.
More importantly, he brought back many beautiful women.
Sun Shangxiang looked at her sisters-in-law with her innocent eyes, and then thought of the sister-in-law who had just died mysteriously.
The brothers have new wives.
Wouldn't the house be even more lively then?
Will the brothers still like these wives?
As a youngest daughter, she shouldn't say what's on her mind in front of her mother and sisters-in-law.
I just want to find out for myself.
Sun Shangxiang told her mother that she really missed her brothers and wanted to go to the door to wait for them.
Surrounded by servants and maids, Sun Shangxiang walked from the backyard to the frontyard, and then from the frontyard to the main gate.
At the main entrance, a large group of servants and maids had already tidied up the place.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
They were just waiting for Lord Wu to return victorious and lead his troops back to the city.
A moment later, someone rode up on a fast horse to report that Lord Wu had entered the city and would arrive shortly.
Sun Shangxiang thought of her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.
I couldn't stop thinking about it for a moment.
She loudly ordered her servants to bring her a fast horse so she could ride out to greet them.
The servants knew that the young princess was the family's darling. Although Madam Wu was strict with others, she doted on the young princess. The young princess got whatever she wanted and was as unrestrained as a boy.
The servants simply prepared the horses while reporting back to Madam Wu.
Madam Wu only said, "Have someone keep a close eye on them and make sure they are well protected."
When the news reached them again, Sun Shangxiang led her maids and servants to personally greet her brothers.
The sound of horses' hooves clattering.
The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the small city of Wu County.
Since entering the city, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and others had been making arrangements for the people returning from each route, settling them down or gathering them together.
They also organized troops and captured prisoners, including Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai.
The sergeant came to ask where the Qiao family lived.
Sun Ce said that he would let Qiao's parents and younger brothers stay in his mansion for the time being, and then find them a house in a couple of days.
At that time, Zhou Yu had already taken Xiao Qiao to the Zhou family's residence.
Since Zhou Yu came to Sun Ce's side, the mansion was built under Sun Ce's personal supervision. It was magnificent, exquisitely decorated, and thoughtfully laid out.
Qiao Jingjing watched helplessly as her younger sister got off the carriage.
I watched as she got into another carriage.
The carriage followed Zhou Yu.
Tears welled up in Qiao Jingjing's eyes again.
She forced herself to stop crying.
She, the ugly daughter-in-law, was about to be forced to meet Sun Ce's elderly mother.
She offended Sun Ce, but Sun Ce, being a man of his stature, didn't hold it against her, a mere woman.
If she really angers Sun Ce's mother, her whole family will probably suffer a terrible fate.
Qiao Jingjing gently patted her face.
I mimicked a smile in the air and felt much better, then took a deep breath.
Just then, a young girl's voice came from outside.
"Big brother!"
Second brother!
Third Brother!
The girl rode a fast horse and stopped in front of Sun Ce and his men. She jumped off the horse and into Sun Ce's arms.
"You're finally back! You won the battle? I heard you brought back a beautiful sister-in-law. Where is she? Let me see her!"
Sun Ce said, "He's in the carriage; you'll see him in a little while."
Sun Shangxiang, however, was mischievous. She insisted on coming over so that her family could see it first.
Qiao Jingjing then lifted the carriage curtain herself and stepped out of the carriage.
At this time, Sun Shangxiang was still young and a child.
At such a young age, seeing her beautiful sister-in-law, who looked like a fairy, was truly an eye-opener.
She chuckled and turned to Sun Ce, saying:
"Brother, I like this sister-in-law, she's such a beauty!"
I always tell everyone that my sisters-in-law are renowned far and wide, but after meeting this one today, I realize, brother, you have excellent taste! No wonder my second and third brothers said you have someone you can't forget.
