Finally, Qiao Jingjing chickened out.
She shut her mouth.
The anger and indignation in my heart.
Oh! How could she not have imagined that something like this would happen halfway through? Her family!
She did nothing wrong. Didn't she also refuse two catties of gold when she rejected Yuan Shu and Cao Cao? Her family isn't that materialistic. So why does this family act like they're afraid she'll never get married when she rejects Sun Ce?
Did the God of Marriage explain to these people that Sun Ce and Da Qiao were a couple and had to get married?
Qiao Jingjing huddled angrily in the carriage.
I huddled up in a huff the whole way.
Along the way, Qiao Er and Qiao San treated Qiao Jingjing quite well, except for not untying her ropes and trying to keep her from causing trouble. They fed her water when she was thirsty, gave her food when she was hungry, and even found decent inns to rest at night.
However, Qiao Jingjing is currently under surveillance, and she is not entitled to sleep alone.
Qiao Jingjing was sleeping in bed.
The two younger brothers made beds under the bed and kept watch over him.
Qiao Jingjing said she needed to use the restroom, and her two younger brothers would definitely accompany her.
Qiao Jingjing simply couldn't stand this kind of treatment.
She exclaimed in surprise: When did these two younger brothers become so capable?
As they got closer to Qu'a, they surprisingly didn't encounter a single bandit along the way.
The journey was surprisingly smooth.
Qiao Jingjing thought she was about to be sent to Sun Ce in this state, and suddenly felt that she had no will to live.
No matter how she tried to communicate with her brothers, they would never understand her foresight.
How could the younger brothers believe that their eldest brother, Sun, a man of such high status and fierce ambition, would make his sister a widow after marrying him?
It's obvious that the older sister doesn't want to.
The more Qiao Jingjing talked, the more insistent the two brothers became.
In the end, Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to resign herself to fate.
Coincidentally, when they arrived in Qu'a, Sun Ce and his men were not in the city.
Sun Ce picked up his heavy weapon and went to Kuaiji to fight Wang Lang.
The reason why there were no mountain tribe leaders along the way was because Brother Sun was too good at fighting. He beat those he didn't like to death, and the rest were all obedient.
The two Qiao brothers arrived excitedly, but they didn't even see Sun Ce's men.
However, Sun's army, which remained in Qu'a, pointed out a direction to Qiao Er and Qiao San:
Although General Sun was away fighting, his mother, Madam Wu, lived not far away in Fuling.
Qiao Er and Qiao San were delighted to hear this.
Next door lives General Sun's mother, Madam Wu! Okay.
Why not just send this disobedient older sister to Madam Wu?
Qiao Er and Qiao San were overjoyed and turned the car around to deliver the goods to Madam Wu.
This time, the two of them were met with a rebuff.
Didn't Madam Wu just personally arrange for each of her three sons to find a wife?
Suddenly two brothers arrived, saying there was a woman in the carriage with her mouth gagged, who they said was there to give to their eldest grandson.
Madam Wu knew from the start that this kind of thing was unreliable.
Madam Wu was a traditional lady from a prominent family, untouched by gossip, but that doesn't mean she was ignorant of social etiquette.
Her eldest son is now gaining traction in the area and is receiving more and more support.
The gift for the girl has been delivered right into her hands!
There's obviously something fishy going on.
Madam Wu refused.
Madam Wu said, "Please ask the two gentlemen to go back; this is not appropriate. Please also take the young lady back with you."
She also said that she had already found a wife for her son.
When Qiao Er and Qiao San heard this, they were so embarrassed they could hardly save face.
He not only failed to see his elder brother Sun Ce, but he also only allowed to see Lady Wu herself for a short while.
Their grand plan to join the army just fell through.
Qiao Er and Qiao San slunk back into the carriage, staring at Qiao Jingjing.
Even through the carriage, Qiao Jingjing understood what had happened.
The steward said that Sun Ce had gotten married.
good!
very nice.
These two brothers deserved to be humiliated.
Qiao Jingjing said, "That's it. I'm not meant to be with this Brother Sun. But you've both tried your best, so you don't regret it, right? Let's go home and untie my sister's rope. The three of us siblings can go back home peacefully and do what we need to do."
Don't worry, I won't hold it against you.
The two younger brothers were unhappy.
"You're not going to hold it against us? You...you...you've been rejected by them, and you're not going to hold it against us? If anyone should be holding it against us, it should be us!"
"Yes! It's because my second brother and I aren't going to hold it against you!"
"Hey, how can you talk to your sister like that! Even if you're in a bad mood right now, you shouldn't take it out on me. I've been cooperative enough the whole way. Look, the autumn harvest is just around the corner, shouldn't we harvest the crops and fish in the pond? This year is sure to be a bumper year. Trust me, I'm right, let's go back and live our lives properly."
Qiao Er was unwilling to accept this.
He was not reconciled! His ambition, his career!
That makes all the difference.
He stomped his foot in anger: "You...you...you, what can I say about you, sister? You're utterly hopeless!"
Just now, you didn't see Madam Wu. Qiao San and I did! Although she is old, she is truly elegant and noble, even the maids around her are dressed in gold and silver.
Sister, if you marry Brother Sun, even if you're not the principal wife, you'll still enjoy a life of happiness, even if you're just a concubine.
It's better than spending all your time in the mulberry grove, fighting cocks and dogs! Do you really want to be a peasant woman your whole life?
