She was completely unaware of her arrogant attitude.
Sun Ce smiled too.
Correct her: "Be good, call him husband."
Calling him Marquis Wu implies a distant relationship.
To Qiao Jingjing, Sun Ce's "good boy" sounded incredibly irritating.
"Thank you, my husband, for getting up early and working late to help me make enemies. Thank you!"
Qiao Jingjing was being unreasonable, yet she didn't realize it.
Sun Ce could only laugh.
Laugh at her for knowing that!
She knew this was making enemies for her, so why did she go along with it and stay out all day before coming back?
"It's nothing more than... a little trick by your husband to deceive people. Since you knew about it, yet you still cooperated, it really shows that you and your husband are of one mind."
Sun Ce kissed Qiao Jingjing's face.
Qiao Jingjing pulled him away again.
"Everyone in the manor says that Madam Gu hasn't been able to eat for the past two meals!"
Sun Ce paused, still concerned about the Hou Gu family!
When will we ever stop being so jealous?
"Da Qiao, let's not mention the Gu family again. How could I bear to put you in such a precarious position?"
Sun Ce picked up Qiao Jingjing and took two steps to the bedside.
Everyone is saying that Sun Ce of Jiangdong has just acquired the beautiful Da Qiao, and he's very excited about it!
Yes, I want them to know that Sun Ce dotes on Da Qiao, and that they all think Sun Ce is a foolish man who only wants to spend his nights in his concubine's tent..."
Isn't Qiao Jingjing being put on the hot seat?
She thought Sun Ce was straightforward.
wrong.
Using her to deceive those around them and to mislead Huang Zu is simply cunning.
"No need! How could a mere woman like me possibly overturn the righteous name of Lord Wu? I've thought about it seriously, and I've made a mistake. I was too petty! What I said last night was out of ignorance, and I didn't take your sweet talk seriously. Lady Gu is virtuous and kind, and she's the one favored by the Grand Madam. I'm simply not good enough to make Lord Wu neglect her for my sake... I shouldn't have done that!"
Tell her to stop mentioning the Hou Gu family!
She insists?
Sun Ce pretended to sit up.
Qiao Jingjing quickly sat up and straightened her clothes.
"Aren't you afraid to be alone at night when I'm not here?"
Qiao Jingjing shook her head.
What is she afraid of?
When she returned from her mother's place and saw him there, she felt an overwhelming warmth in her heart.
But the issues he had to deal with were far too complex.
She wanted to have Sun Ce, and to let Sun Ce live a good life.
She suddenly looked at Sun Ce with such a radiant and full gaze.
Yingying's kind words came out.
"I'm content just knowing you care about me. In this world, Confucianism reigns supreme, emphasizing virtue. You've worked so hard to gain this empire and the people's support; don't squander it. Don't easily project an image of incompetence and hedonism; cherish your reputation."
hehe.
Sun Ce's face lit up with a smile at that moment.
"Da Qiao! Your husband is well-versed in military strategy and has led troops in countless battles. How could he not see through your tactic of feigning weakness to lure me in!"
then.
Qiao Jingjing once again successfully met her handsome and fierce husband and spent a wonderful night together.
Is she playing hard to get?
