Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 218: Keeping Filial Piety
Sun Quan faced Mrs. Wu's pleading, with a lot of unbearability in his eyes, "I know that my mother is doing this for the sake of the friendship between the Sun and Xie families. I will properly arrange the affairs of the Xie family's daughter-in-law, and I will never treat her badly." she."

"Zhongmou!" Mrs. Wu's voice became more and more sad, and her excitement triggered a violent cough. Blood fell on the ground drop by drop, and blood spatters were engraved on the hem of Sun Quan's clothes.

Sun Quan's eyes were full of intolerance, but he was unwilling to break his promise, "As the ancients said, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. When I married Mrs. Qiao, I personally promised her that I would be the same in my life and that I would grow old hand in hand with her. Mom, please stop forcing your son.”

On one side is the mother who gave birth to and raised him, and on the other side is his wife who has been with him all his life.

Sun Quan was also suffering in his heart, but he was unwilling to let go. He still remembered what Sun Jian once said, there are only two things a man wants in his life, the land under his feet and his wife and children in his arms.

He knew that he was not a hero, and perhaps his achievements in life were not comparable to those of his father and brother, but since he was a man, protecting the safety of his family was his bottom line.

It was his decision to choose Mrs. Qiao as his wife, and he should bear all the consequences. Instead of pushing his wife in front of him easily when facing difficulties and letting her bear all the malice, he would hide behind. It's natural to be alone.

"What about the concubine? It's just a concubine." Mrs. Wu has already made a concession. "You value her so much. What threat can a concubine who cannot have children pose to her? Is it possible that she is like this? Jealousy can’t even tolerate a concubine who can’t bear children?”

If a woman from any family is known to be jealous, she will have to face criticism from many people.

"Mom, be careful!" Sun Quan looked at Mrs. Wu seriously, "It's because I don't want to take a concubine, and it has nothing to do with Da Qiao. Mom needs to know that if the reputation of the mistress of the Sun family is damaged, so will the reputation of the mistress of the Sun family. The reputation of the Sun family. My mother kept saying that it was for the sake of the Sun family and her son, and she should not embarrass Da Qiao."

When she and Sun Jian first got married, they had a period of unquestionable love just like Sun Quan and Qiao Wei. Sun Jian also ignored other women in the room because of her. She also cares about the good results she will get after her desperate efforts.

Old Madam Wu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

It was the concubines brought back one after another from the battlefield, Sun Jian's nonchalant temptation when he said he would not shake his mistress's position, his deception for the sake of the prosperity of the Sun family's heirs, and his soft-heartedness deceived by illness late at night. In the end, it was all It turned into a plan to take concubines for him.

"Your father lived a romantic life, but he raised a idiot like you." Mrs. Wu's eyes were full of sarcasm. Maybe Sun Quan was not like Sun Jian at all, but like his biological mother, Xie.

"You just... feel sorry for her so much?" Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan in disbelief, her expression a little confused.

From the time when they were young and deeply in love, to when the person next to her was killed in battle, she didn't feel sad for him, but worried about the uncertain future of herself and her children. All of them accuse a woman of her sorrow from deep affection to despair.

But I don’t know when it started, everything began to slowly change.

Perhaps it was true that even when a person was about to die, his words were kind. Sun Quan's words brought back many long-lasting memories to her.

"When I was young, my father favored Wei Ji. My mother would often have to sit on the bed late at night and weep until dawn. My mother has experienced the suffering herself. How could she bear to ask Da Qiao to go through it again? ." Sun Quan's voice was sad.

A woman who is a concubine in the Sun family but always thinks about her young husband, a woman who cannot change her mind even though she knows she is being cheated, a woman who is full of guilt but also extremely envious.

Recalling her life, Mrs. Wu suddenly let out a bitter laugh. She was laughing at how ridiculous her life was.

What she wanted to get, she seemed to get it in the end, but she didn't seem to get it. Gradually, her laughter became louder and faster, and even a violent cough could not stop her sad laughter.

Sun Quan quickly stood up and helped Mrs. Wu, "My son is unfilial and makes my mother worried."

He knew what he wanted, but what he wanted was something Mrs. Wu wouldn't allow. He could only choose not to live up to his mother's wishes.

Mrs. Wu grabbed Sun Quan's hand, "Where is Ji Zuo? Where is Ji Zuo? And An'er..."

Sun Kuang was still far away in Danyang, so naturally he couldn't come. Sun Quan had already sent someone to notify Sun Kuang of his return. When Sun An heard Mrs. Wu calling his name, he quickly stepped forward and held his mother's hand, "Mom, I'm here."

Mrs. Wu glanced at Sun An, who looked exactly like her when she was young, and reached out to touch her still immature face. She knew that her end was coming, and this daughter no longer had her own protection, and the only one she could rely on in the future was Sun Quan. Brother.

After all, Sun Kuang was weak, and now he could be a prefect who guarded the territory. The future of the Sun family ultimately depends on Sun Quan.

"Zhong Mou, An'er is your only sister. You have to take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her." Mrs. Wu knew that her time was running out. Even though she was about to die, Sun Quan still refused to let go. Fulfilled her wish.

It's time for her to wake up.

Mrs. Wu is a smart person.

Now that her end was approaching, what she couldn't worry about was her children. After all, Sun Kuang was already married and a man. If Sun Quan could still use him in political affairs, he would be able to earn a lot of money for himself.

But Sun An is different. She is a woman and can only be trapped in the back house for the rest of her life. Her biggest trump card is her brother.

Mrs. Wu put Sun An's hand into Sun Quan's and said, "An'er is not young anymore. It is only right to get married as soon as possible. Now Jiangdong is not stable yet. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north are also eyeing him. General Zhao has recently joined the army. , It’s hard to guess what’s going on. An’er is old enough, so she doesn’t have to stick to the three-year filial piety ritual. Do you understand what my mother means?”

Sun Quan understood.

Sun An was already twelve years old. He originally arranged Sun Zhao's marriage matchmaking to secure Zhao Yun's heart and guard the northern front for the Sun family.

Marrying Sun An to Runan in advance can also boost the morale of the soldiers on the northern front.

As for Mrs. Wu, once she leaves, Qiao Wei will be the dominant one in the Sun family. As an unmarried girl, Sun An's family will act based on Qiao Wei's expression.

It would be fine if the two of them had a harmonious relationship, but no one could tell what Qiao Wei was thinking and whether he would be angry with Sun An because of Mrs. Wu.

Only by letting Sun An marry out of the Sun family early can Mrs. Wu feel at ease.
