"Fengxiao, why are you refusing? This is a small token of our Qiao family's gratitude for finding our mother. Otherwise, how much more suffering would my mother have had to endure!"
Fengxiao, you have no idea how pitiful my mother was. Thank goodness we found her! Now our family is wealthy, and we've hired the best doctors to treat her regularly. Even so, my mother still often scolds and swears, and her emotions are unstable. If it weren't for Fengxiao and Cao Gong's help, my mother would have been gone long ago. You are the greatest benefactors of the Qiao family. What is this compared to that? Fengxiao, please don't refuse!
If you keep refusing, you're looking down on me, Qiao Er, on the Qiao family, and on my elder sister.
If you look down on my elder sister, you are looking down on Lord Wu.
They look down on the entire Jiangdong region!
Qiao Er's over-the-top remarks directly labeled Guo Jia with a huge accusation.
Guo Jia accepted the gold and the beautiful maidservant beside Qiao Jingjing with trepidation.
This maid's name was Aro.
His hometown is Jiaozhou. Back then, when Sun Ce was helping Qiao Jingjing choose a reliable person to be by her side, he was finally selected after going through layers of selection. He was skilled in martial arts and extremely loyal.
Qiao Jingjing values A Luo very much.
Qiao Jingjing sent A Luo to Guo Jia's side this time so that she could keep a close watch on Guo Jia and prevent him from making any moves.
As soon as Guo Jia arrived in Jiangdong, he went to Yan Baihu and instigated him. Yan Baihu immediately went astray and provoked Lu Xun. As a result, Zhu Zhi used the laws and regulations of Wu Commandery to behead him.
Guo Jia, who was behind it all, was actually insignificant; if he were brought out and killed, so be it.
However, Guo Jia was backed by Cao Cao in the north.
Although it was only a matter of time before things turned sour.
It's always better to wait. Let's focus on strengthening ourselves first, and we'll talk about it later.
Qiao Jingjing wore a Yekater-esque smile.
Guo Jia looked at the gold in his hand and the beautiful maid beside him, and smiled ingratiatingly:
"Since Madam Qiao is so kind, Guo Jia will not stand on ceremony. However, Fengxiao has a request, and I urge Elder Qiao, Second Young Master Qiao, and Madam Qiao to help Guo Jia."
Guo Jia then told Qiao Er about his current predicament.
Guo Jia directly regarded the Qiao family as the kind of family that had at least received some favors from Cao Cao in the past, and that knew how grateful they were.
Guo Jia said that his wife, children, and elderly parents were all in Xuchang. He had come out to supervise the construction of the temporary palace for His Majesty the Emperor, but he would eventually return to Xuchang.
"If a person abandons his wife, children, and elderly parents, wouldn't he be worse than a pig or a dog?"
Guo Jia's sincerity actually moved Qiao Er.
Qiao Er patted his chest and said, "What's the big deal? My brother-in-law is in charge. He'll make sure His Majesty's palace is repaired perfectly! Fengxiao, even if you go back now, what can you do? Will Cao Cao blame you?"
Of course, we should blame them.
Cao Cao tasked Guo Jia with stirring up trouble in Jiangdong.
Guo Jia failed to accomplish it.
Qiao Er then said to Qiao Jingjing, "Sister, you know about Fengxiao's difficulties. You and your brother-in-law are both easy to talk to. How about this, in a couple of days, we'll make arrangements for Fengxiao to go back, so that he won't be separated from his family in Xudu, which would be pitiful."
Qiao Er is so loyal and sentimental.
Following Qiao Er's lead, Qiao Jingjing asked, "Would Fengxiao be willing to return to Xudu the day after tomorrow?"
Guo Jia definitely cannot return the day after tomorrow. Even if he does, Cao Cao will not let him go, nor will Cao Pi.
