"The legal wife is in charge of everything in the household."
"You lot, your first priority is to serve the eldest, second, and third sons well, and then assist the Gu, Xie, and Xu families."
Madam Wu has made her point to this extent.
Qiao Jingjing was extremely respectful as she walked up to Madam Gu, who appeared to be Sun Ce's principal wife, and offered her tea.
"Madam, please have some tea. I am Da Qiao. I hope you will not hesitate to teach me in the future."
After Qiao Jingjing finished saying that sentence.
She felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
mom!
She wants to share her husband with another woman.
The worst part is that she's considered inferior!
Lu Meng has already invited Qiao Xuan and his wife, as well as Qiao's two sons.
Although Old Man Qiao often felt mentally and physically exhausted over the years, he was still good at making friends and socializing. He took the lead in greeting Madam Wu.
He also brought his wife, Nian Meiyi, whose mental state was sometimes turbulent. She was once the most beautiful woman in Luoyang, attracting many princes and noblemen to vie for her favor. Now, she was the mother of his eldest daughter, who was a crazy woman. The couple went to pay a visit to Madam Wu.
It's easier for older people to speak.
Old Man Joe kept emphasizing that he had spoiled his eldest daughter.
"In those years, it was because Da Qiao was separated from her mother and did not receive a good education. But fortunately, Da Qiao is clever, obedient, capable and filial. Now, Da Qiao is by the side of Madam Wu, as Madam Wu's daughter-in-law, and has become a member of the Wu family. I only ask that Madam Wu teach her well and not let her cause trouble and be laughed at by others."
Qiao Xuan's demeanor was extremely humble.
Madam Wu was also moved.
She also has a beloved daughter in her family, who dotes on her because her father died early.
That kind of compensatory behavior is called spoiling.
Madam Wu invited Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Xuan to sit down.
"It's alright! Da Qiao is truly beautiful. I liked her as soon as I saw her. No wonder my eldest son has been thinking about her ever since he met her."
Qiao Jingjing kept her head down, and she and that Gu woman stood behind Sun Ce.
Gu helped Sun Ce pick up some food.
Liu Ajiao had already personally poured wine for Sun Yi.
Her mother's stern gaze was already fixed on her.
Qiao Jingjing then realized that she should also pour wine for Sun Ce at such a banquet.
Qiao Jingjing picked up the wine cup with her fair and delicate fingers and handed it to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce's feelings at this moment were indescribable.
Even though Qiao Jingjing was unwilling, she still served tea to his elderly mother in front of everyone and unaware of Gu's status!
Qiao Jingjing has truly become his prey this time.
Sun Ce personally picked up a duck leg for himself, and the taste of the duck leg meat in his mouth was wonderful.
He took another sip of the wine that Qiao Jingjing had served him.
Sun Ce felt that all he had done in his bloody battles and territorial expansion was to earn a full meal.
Beautiful!
The happiest day in years.
After the meal.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Xuan kept Madam Wu company and talked for a while longer.
The three sons were originally supposed to stay with their mother.
But Madam Wu knew that her sons and daughters-in-law had not been seen for a month, so she told her sons to go back to their rooms and reunite with their wives.
The daughters-in-law, however, put on a show and were all willing to talk to their mother.
Sun Yi is the least willing to pretend.
He went back inside first.
Then Sun Ce and Sun Quan returned to their own courtyards.
The place where Sun Ce lived was called Fu Garden.
The origin is simple: Sun Ce's courtesy name was Bofu. His mother, Lady Wu, originally named this garden "Lufu," meaning "gathering happiness." Sun Ce found it too cumbersome and simplified it.
Sun Ce arranged accommodation for Qiao Jingjing at Fu Garden.
In this tightly packed courtyard, Sun Ce occupies the main position, which is his study and room. On the east side is the room of his legal wife, Lady Gu, who is now living there with Sun Shao.
Qiao Jingjing then moved to the west side.
Qiao Jingjing only had Yu Mei, her maid, by her side.
Sun Ce said to send a few more people to serve him.
Qiao Jingjing refused them all.
As it turned out, Madam Gu was very generous and immediately assigned one of her most capable maids to Qiao Jingjing.
"My sister is new here and not familiar with the affairs of the manor. How can she not have a capable person by her side? This is my maid, Pearl. She is efficient and capable. Please use her as you see fit. If she does not behave well, just tell me and I will punish her."
The way Madam Gu spoke made it sound like she had been in this family for a long time.
Qiao Jingjing stood in the middle of Fu Garden.
She watched as Sun Ce personally directed people to set up furniture and decorations for her.
Sun Ce did a rather proper job, having someone decorate the place with red decorations.
ah!
This is bright red.
Did Sun Ce give her too much?
Just as Qiao Jingjing was marveling at the start of her grand mansion life for the rest of her life,
It was time for Sun Ce to let Qiao Jingjing into the house to take a look.
"If you need anything else, just tell me."
Qiao Jingjing went inside to take a look.
Everything is laid out in a way that is exquisite and unique, exuding a sense of luxury and opulence.
What she had before, she has here too; what she didn't have before, she has even more of here.
Sun Ce had already thought of all her hopes for what life would be like after marriage.
Qiao Jingjing said she didn't want anything.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Just tell me what you want in the future. Or you can tell... Mrs. Gu, that's fine too."
Sun Ce did not explain much about Lady Gu.
At that time, the servants called Qiao Jingjing "Madam Qiao" and the other side "Madam Gu".
Lady Gu then invited Sun Ce to sit in her room.
Although she was a successor, she had the Gu family behind her. Her cousin had married into the Sun family and had a son. Now she had taken her cousin's place and was raising her cousin's son, so naturally she had to do what her cousin had done back then.
