sky.
Life is full of unexpected encounters. From now on, will Qiao Manman and Lu Qiuqiu be rivals?
Qiao Jingjing walked closer with a smile.
Lu Qiuqiu had already reached out her hand and grasped it tightly:
"Sister Qiao! It's you? It really is you! No wonder the magpies were calling and calling on the branches this morning. It turns out we have a distinguished guest."
Hey! It's been four or five years since we last met.
Sister Qiao, since you're here, please have dinner at my house tonight.
Zhou Lang came back last night and raved about Da Qiao's cooking. "Da Qiao, how did you come up with the idea of skewering meat on bamboo sticks and grilling it over charcoal? We've eaten all sorts of delicacies and seen a lot of the world over the years, but we've never tasted anything so delicious!"
After several years apart, Lu Qiuqiu had lost the innocent and clear-headedness of a young girl, and instead possessed the sinister smile of a woman confined to her home.
Qiao Jingjing let Lu Qiuqiu hold one hand, and reached out with the other hand to hold Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman simply lowered her head and didn't interrupt.
She had only been in this mansion for two days.
She had come to understand that Lu Qiuqiu was in charge of all the affairs, big and small, in the Zhou household.
Zhou Lang also highly valued Lu Qiuqiu.
Although she and Lu Qiuqiu had only exchanged a few words in Lujiang City, when she met Lu Qiuqiu now, she felt that Lu Qiuqiu had a grand demeanor and the air of a matriarch.
She was Zhou Yu's virtuous wife.
When Qiao Manman was around Lu Qiuqiu and Zhou Yu, she sometimes felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.
I feel like a third party.
Qiao Jingjing was just there to take a casual look.
With just one glance, upon seeing Lu Qiuqiu in this state, Qiao Manman already had a general idea of her predicament.
Lu Qiuqiu moved with unparalleled confidence.
It was only natural for her to stand beside Zhou Yu.
Suddenly, Qiao Jingjing thought of Sun Ce's Consort Gu.
Madam Gu, who thought it was all perfectly reasonable, ended up being made a laughingstock.
In contrast, Lady Gu does not seem to be the wife of the Marquis of Wu.
Lu Qiuqiu is just like an empress.
"Look, things really do change in this world. Back then, I only thought that Sister Qiao would become a daughter-in-law of our Lu family, but I never thought that she would end up becoming the sister-in-law of the Sun family. Sigh, my poor cousin still doesn't want to get married."
Hey! Look at what I've said! I lost my temper and remembered the past.
Sister Da Qiao, please don't take it to heart.
Lu Qiuqiu laughed to herself, her laughter both lively and poised.
She held a piece of handkerchief in her hand, covering her mouth.
So this is the specific method that Qiao's mother often taught Qiao Jingjing to smile without showing her teeth.
"When I heard those words this morning, I didn't believe them! I thought it was just people on the street talking nonsense and spreading rumors. Now that I've seen you, Sister Da Qiao, I really believe it. Lord Wu really dotes on our Sister Da Qiao, how wonderful!"
Qiao Jingjing smiled but remained silent in the face of Lu Qiuqiu's familiar demeanor.
Sun Ce deliberately let those words spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wu County, so that even women like Lu Qiuqiu, who lived in seclusion, knew about them.
He must have a purpose.
"Sister Da Qiao, don't worry, your sister is my sister. Xiao Qiao and I are old acquaintances, and now we are family. We serve Zhou Lang together. I will love and cherish her even more than you do, Sister Da Qiao."
These are just high-sounding words.
Even a little girl like Sun Shangxiang thought it was all show and no substance.
However, it planted a seed in her young heart, reminding her that a matriarch must have such a broad mind and demeanor.
However, when she gets married in the future, she will not want to be so formal and hypocritical.
Qiao Jingjing still had a smile on her face when facing Lu Qiuqiu.
Lu Qiuqiu had already instructed everyone in the mansion to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain Qiao Jingjing and Sun Shangxiang.
