"From now on, the safety of the third branch of the family will be protected by our general. Youtai will continue to study hard in his hometown, or farm, or raise fish, and live a leisurely life."
What's past can't be undone!
Sun Hao plotted a rebellion and led his rebel army to attack Wu Commandery. Fortunately, no major losses were incurred. Now that Sun Hao has been executed, the general has shown mercy by not implicating Sun Hao's family and children. We hope that you, Your Excellency, will take heed of this and behave yourself from this day forward.”
Sun Jing even kowtowed to receive the order.
Sun Shangxiang originally wanted to give her third uncle a good scolding and a good interrogation.
It was like a powerful punch hitting a soft lump of cotton.
Sun Shangxiang was somewhat discouraged and discussed the matter with her third sister-in-law, Xu, on her way back to Wu County.
"Third Sister-in-law, why do I feel like Third Uncle is acting strangely? Sun Hao is dead, and Third Uncle didn't even shed a single tear? Doesn't he hold a grudge against our family? How can he give in so easily?"
Regarding this point.
Xu couldn't say for sure either.
This is exactly the situation we're in now.
Sun Hao's rebellion has already been overthrown; only a tyrannical ruler would execute his entire clan. Besides, my third uncle's family has already pleaded guilty and requested to become commoners, thus ceasing to receive any salary. What else can they do?
We can't just wipe them out completely.
If that were the case, let alone the six counties of Jiangdong.
This would give Cao Cao in the north an excuse to attack Sun Quan.
The Han Dynasty governed the country with filial piety and took benevolence, righteousness and morality as its guiding principles.
Why did Dong Zhuo defeat Lü Bu? Why did he meet such a tragic end? It was because they deviated from the moral standards that people held in their hearts.
Xu also possessed these virtues very well.
Because her elder brother Sun Ce had an accident, she now had to serve her mother-in-law in Wu County and deal with this large family. Although Xu was very worried about her husband Sun Yi's situation in Wucheng County.
Xu was always uneasy because of the death of her elder brother, Sun Ce.
Even Sun Ce, the eldest brother, who was so brave, decisive, and intelligent, could not escape the clutches of the bandits.
Her husband, Sun Yi, loved to drink and had a bad temper; he had many weaknesses.
Xu was always by his side, offering guidance.
On another occasion, her husband told her about a strange thing.
This strange incident actually stems from the affair between the eldest brother and sister-in-law years ago.
Back in Lujiang City, my elder brother had already taken control of the city and planned to move all the wealthy families and their assets to Wu County. At that time, my sister-in-law stubbornly refused to go with my brother.
Her husband, Sun Yi, devised a cruel plan: to get his sister-in-law drunk, tie her up with rope, and send her to his elder brother's room.
But then things got strange. The eldest sister-in-law didn't drink a drop, but it was the third brother, Sun Yi, who got drunk. And the most outrageous and unbelievable thing was that the third brother stumbled into his sister-in-law's room while he was still drunk... Although Sun Yi realized his mistake in time and didn't do anything wrong, thankfully his eldest brother only punished him slightly.
For many years afterward, Xu would still feel uneasy whenever she thought about that incident.
Madam Xu believed that there must be spies around her husband. What was frightening was that Bian Hong and Sun Gao had been following Sun Yi for many years. If they were bribed and harbored disloyal intentions, wouldn't that be terrifying?
But those things from back then definitely can't be discussed with my sister-in-law again.
Xu could only investigate secretly, and she was quite worried.
Recently, not only the Sun family, but the entire Wu Commandery and the entire Jiangdong region are in a state of panic, as no one knows who might betray them at any time.
As the daughter-in-law in this family, Xu could only fulfill her filial duties to her mother-in-law and support the family together with her two sisters-in-law.
For now, we'll leave this matter with Uncle Sun Jing's family. We'll wait for my second brother to return so we can report back to him.
