Xu then went to the children's side.
Mrs. Xu talked to the children for a long time, and then Ah Song went to sleep.
When Xu returned to the room, she saw that the lights were still on and could faintly hear Sun Quan's anxious voice.
Sun Quan sounded rather impatient.
Ms. Xu was a little worried, so she took two steps closer.
Xu was overhearing her second brother Sun Quan's words at that time:
“Sister-in-law, Ah Xiang must come back! Ah Xiang cannot escape this matter, she cannot escape! I have already sent Lü Fan, Jiang Qin and others to chase after her, and Zhou Gongjin has also gone. We must bring Ah Xiang back today! When Ah Xiang returns, please do not obstruct her again! Let Ah Xiang marry Liu Bei to help Jiangdong obtain Jingzhou.”
At that time, Qiao Jingjing remained silent.
Everything was done by Sun Quan, who came to talk to his sister-in-law after getting a little drunk; it was all Sun Quan talking.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't say anything, we'll take that as your agreement!"
Sun Quan's drunkenness intensified, and he realized he couldn't stay long at his sister-in-law's residence.
Sun Quan stood up and prepared to leave.
Yuan Shiyi quickly followed.
Qiao Jingjing had already taken another sip of tea.
"What I said at noon in Wenyuan Pavilion wasn't just for Liu Bei's ears. That was my stance! I will not agree to Ah Xiang marrying Liu Bei unless Ah Xiang is willing!"
Qiao Jingjing said to Sun Quan before she left.
?
Sun Quan heard that his sister-in-law was still objecting.
Sun Quan was very anxious at that time.
Sun Quan turned around and almost tripped over his own foot. Luckily, Yuan Shiyi reacted quickly, otherwise Sun Quan would have fallen to the ground.
Faced with his sister-in-law's statement, Sun Quan was both furious and restrained.
"Sister-in-law!"
Sun Quan shouted at Qiao Jingjing fiercely.
"What time is it! Sister-in-law, you're still spoiling A-Xiang? Sister-in-law, this isn't how you spoil A-Xiang! In our family, A-Xiang is the only girl. Who doesn't spoil her? Who doesn't love her? It's not like this!"
Sister-in-law, there are priorities in matters of importance and urgency. As for the marriage alliance with Liu Bei, only Ah Xiang can handle it.
"Sister-in-law, please listen to your second brother! Stop being so stubborn! If this marriage alliance with Liu Bei goes wrong, he won't have the face to face his elder brother and father in the afterlife!"
Sun Quan made it sound so serious.
Xu listened outside the window, and was also indignant.
Xu no longer tried to hide it.
Xu stepped inside and asked the three people in the room:
"What do you mean it can't be anyone else? Second brother, tell me, why does it have to be Ah Xiang! So many people in Jiangdong know that Ah Xiang has someone she loves. Ah Xiang likes Liu Ji, and Liu Ji likes Ah Xiang too. They are a couple in love, and it's a mutual agreement. Why do you have to break them up?"
And what's with all this talk about family responsibility!
We, as the older brothers and sisters-in-law, really had the heart to do it!
As Xu finished speaking, she walked over to her sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing and patted her on the back.
Xu's meaning was probably to appease her sister-in-law.
Don't take Sun Lao Er's attitude seriously, he's been drinking.
Once Sun Quan is fully sober from the wine he poured for him tomorrow, he will definitely regret it.
"Second brother, if Ah Xiang isn't suitable, we can find someone else! Why are you insisting on using Ah Xiang?"
Xu was just that straightforward and strong-willed. He didn't care whether Sun Lao Er was the ruler of Jiangdong or not, nor did he know that Sun Lao Er would become the founding emperor of the Eastern Wu Kingdom.
In any case, Xu just said what she wanted to say.
Sun Quan was already driven almost crazy by his sister-in-law.
Another sister-in-law has arrived!
In this family, both widows asked Sun Quan if he should not send Ah Xiang to marry into the family, but instead send someone else.
Sun Quan was truly driven to the brink of despair at that time.
It was also because he had been drinking.
If he hadn't been drinking, Sun Quan wouldn't have been able to speak those honest words:
“Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law! How can you say such a thing? Our Sun family is now dwindling in number. Looking around, in this vast Beigu Mountain, from my mother down to my sister-in-law, then me, then my third sister-in-law, and then Ah Xiang! There are only a handful of us left. Tell me, who else but Ah Xiang should bear the heavy responsibility of this marriage alliance with Liu Bei…”
alright.
Sun Quan was heartbroken and brought this up in his heart.
After saying that, Sun Quan realized he had let something slip.
Sun Quan shut up and remained quiet for a while, then placed his hand on his forehead.
Yuan Shiyi quickly brought Sun Quan a cup of tea to help him calm down.
Xu kept quiet at that time.
Qiao Jingjing remained clear-headed and sensible. She told Yuan Shiyi to quickly help Sun Quan back to Liuyun Palace to rest.
"I'll have Aro make you another bowl of hangover soup and a freshly cut plate of fruit, and send them over to you! You're drunk, go home and get some sleep!"
Sun Quan, however, could not.
Sun Quan then called for his third brother's wife, Xu, to sit down.
"I misspoke earlier! Sister-in-law, Third Sister-in-law, you should get some rest! I will decide on this matter tomorrow..."
Qiao Jingjing had already sat down with Madam Xu.
Qiao Jingjing said to everyone:
"Third sister-in-law, Eleven, Zhongmou was anxious today and drank some wine! As for Axiang, it was my fault. But I have no choice. If it happened again, I would still send Axiang away!"
Now that we've all come to this point!
Liu Bei has a problem; he has always been a threat to Jiangdong, and it's not as simple as just killing him to get rid of the problem!
I have an idea. Liu Bei played the victim in front of my father a couple of days ago, tricking my father into running around for him. Now everyone knows that Liu Bei has come to Jiangdong to marry a lady!
Liu Bei even sent gifts to my Qiao family! Today, when I returned home, I didn't stand on ceremony and sent all his gifts back to the post station.
