Having received Brother Sun's orders, Lü Meng immediately returned to the Qiao family.
Lu Meng opened the courtyard gate for himself and tied his horse inside.
Surprisingly, no one in the family knew about it.
Based on his understanding of his mission, Lü Meng headed towards Miss Qiao's room.
He could hear the woman crying from inside the room when he was still a hundred paces away.
It sounds like Miss Qiao.
Then came the cursing of an old woman.
The old woman had a very loud voice; the closer he got, the clearer he could hear her.
"Cry? You still have the nerve to cry? You still have the nerve to come back crying?"
Da Qiao, do you even have a brain? Do you have a dog's brain?
Heavens above, look! Look at what I have given birth to!
This thing is going to drive me crazy!
I told you to leave, and a man came to take you away, so why didn't you go with him? You're back!
Let me ask you, is it that you're not going with him, or that he doesn't want you anymore once he leaves?
You have the nerve to cry with me?
You're still lying there crying, ignoring me. Get up! Get up! Look at me and answer me! Answer me! What are you going to do now?
Do you want me to drag you into the water with me?
It was at that moment that Lü Meng stepped into Miss Qiao's room.
He had no choice; he was entrusted by General Sun to protect Miss Qiao.
Miss Qiao is so vulnerable, he has to protect her closely, otherwise she will suffer.
Lu Meng stepped into the room and coughed to indicate that he was there.
Sure enough, the old woman inside heard the noise and turned to look at him.
Without any politeness, she glared fiercely, portraying the image of a shrewish old mother.
"And who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
Lu Meng was about to speak.
Miss Qiao had already raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears.
Lu Meng even doubted whether she had seen him clearly.
"Amon?"
What are you doing here?
Is there anything else General Sun wants to tell me?
Qiao Jingjing stood up, wiping away her tears as she looked at Lü Meng.
"By order of the general, I will protect Miss Qiao here until General Sun returns to personally welcome her."
Upon hearing Lü Meng's words, Qiao's mother fell silent in surprise.
My mother needs some time to recover.
Qiao Jingjing's face, covered in graffiti, was facing Lü Meng.
What are you going to do staying here? No need.
We've caused quite a ruckus in our family, please excuse the mess. It's nothing, really. You should come with Brother Sun; he needs you!"
These are all battle formations where soldiers brandish their weapons and practice their skills; a fierce general like Lü Meng is indispensable in such situations.
Qiao Jingjing devoted herself wholeheartedly to Sun Ce, which moved Lü Meng deeply.
Are you still saying that Miss Qiao isn't considerate?
Look how considerate he is, how much he cares about General Sun.
It must be Zhang Zibu; he's just a sour grapes. Just like those pedantic scholars throughout history, always using beautiful women as the subject of their writings. What crime has this beautiful woman committed?
"Miss Qiao, please rest assured. Since the general has made this arrangement, he must have his reasons. From now on, please... and this is... Oh, Madam, please put your mind at ease. The general will definitely come back to marry Miss Qiao."
On this day, Qiao Manman witnessed the great ups and downs of a person's life.
She was extremely envious when she saw Sun Ce take her older sister away, hoping that someone would also take her away from her suffering. But in the blink of an eye, her sister came back on her own.
She asked her older sister why?
Her older sister said there was no reason.
Qiao Manman guessed that her older sister probably wanted a very formal wedding with proper matchmakers and dowry, rather than going with Brother Sun, who was dressed in black and masked.
But her older sister was crying so sadly.
She was still moved by her elder sister's poignant and melancholic words.
Qiao Manman guessed that the days ahead would be even harder, and her mother's beatings and scoldings would become even more endless.
Just as her mother was about to pull her older sister into the river, this young man, Mr. Lü, came in.
Brother Sun specially sent them to protect my sister.
That's great!
Mother, please try to be more restrained in the future.
Qiao Manman took the little maid beside her to fetch water for washing her face and personally wrung out a towel for Qiao Jingjing.
Yes, ever since their mother came into the world, the two sisters have had maids to serve them. The maid who serves the elder sister is named Yuzhu, and the maid who serves her is named Yulan.
These two maids were purchased according to their mother's requirements. They were quite good-looking and had a certain air about them, sometimes even more impressive than young ladies from wealthy families.
My mother said that the maids and servants in the house must have proper manners and appearance, otherwise they would be looked down upon if they were taken out.
Yes, this maid has poise and manners, but she doesn't recognize her own status.
Mother made all the decisions, and neither she nor her sister dared to say a word.
If they showed even the slightest sign of it, Yuzhu and Yulan would run to their mother to complain, and she and her older sister would get another scolding.
These two girls didn't seem like their maids; they seemed more like spies their mother had sent to keep an eye on them.
Qiao Manman watched as Qiao Jingjing wiped her face.
He personally combed Qiao Jingjing's hair.
Yu Zhu, standing nearby, said, "Miss, please stop crying. If you keep crying like this, it'll look like someone bullied you. Hurry up and clean yourself up. Even the most beautiful woman wouldn't look good like this! Besides, Miss, your face was once disfigured."
The tone was somewhat sarcastic.
Qiao Jingjing disliked this maid named Yuzhu the most.
She treated the jade bamboo as if it were nothing.
As a result, Yu Zhu still thought she had a very high status. She didn't have to do any rough work because she was by the young lady's side. She wore the latest clothes and dressed very fashionably. She walked around the courtyard and relayed orders between the old lady and the young lady. No one dared to underestimate her.
