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

Chapter 219 Returning Home
"There is also Ji Zuo. He is weak and there is no need to come to the funeral. Even when your brother died, relatives from all over the country put political affairs first and stayed there to observe filial piety instead of going to the funeral. As a woman, I dare not work for everyone. Mrs. Wu said softly to Sun Jing, "Uncle, do you remember clearly?"

Sun Jing, who was responsible for recording her last words, nodded slowly, "Sister-in-law is just!"

Righteousness? Madam Wu laughed to herself.

She was originally from a prominent family in Wu County, and her father was also a captain of Fengche School and a prefect of Danyang. However, because her parents died young, she and her younger brother Wu Jing had to live with their uncle.

Later, Sun Jian heard that she was both talented and beautiful, and insisted on marrying her. At that time, Mrs. Wu was already engaged in a marriage, but Sun Jian was so arrogant and coercive that the other party had to stop thinking to avoid Sun Jian's advances.

Sun Jian went to the Wu family to propose marriage in a very high-profile manner. In order to see Mrs. Wu more often, Sun Jian would bring a cart full of gifts to the Wu family with great fanfare every time he arrived in Xiumu.

At that time, almost everyone in Qiantang County knew that the young magistrate of Xiapi County named Sun Jian was in love with the daughter-in-law of the Wu family.

Mrs. Wu's aunt did not like Sun Jian and thought he was frivolous and cunning. However, he was unwilling to offend Sun Jian by rejecting Sun Jian's proposal of marriage.

For Mrs. Wu, the young man's sincere, high-profile and passionate love was full of fatal attraction for a girl who lost her father at a young age and had to rely on others to watch others.

And after she sought the sorcerer's fortune-telling advice, she even more firmly agreed to Sun Jian's marriage proposal.

She still remembered that when she told her relatives, "Don't cause trouble for the Wu family just to take care of a little girl like yourself," the brothers of the Wu family also praised her in the same way, "My sister is a righteous sister!"

After she married into the Sun family, she indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Wu family. Even Wu Jing was recommended and returned to Danyang to serve as the prefect.

At that time, Mrs. Wu also felt that maybe she was lucky to have found a tree that she could rely on after spending the first half of her life like duckweed.

At that time, Sun Jian also praised her for her righteousness and revealed the matter.

Sun Jian told her that if she disagreed, he would immediately drive away the two concubines.

There are only four words to take care of the overall situation. It is only others who benefit, but it hides how much blood and tears she has spent in her life.

On the second day after Sun Ce was born, Sun Jian returned from killing pirates. Before Mrs. Wu could share the joy of giving birth to a child with him, she saw Sun Jian bringing back two concubines.

But although everything seemed so perfect, her heart was never stable and satisfied.

Whenever Sun Jian accompanied Mrs. Wu back to the Wu family, he always aroused the envy of his sisters. Such a handsome young man could still be considerate to Mrs. Wu. Even Wu Jing, who was not satisfied with Sun Jian at the beginning, gradually began to like her. Sun Jian changed his mind.

And soon, her uneasiness was confirmed.

She still remembered the way Han Ji held her slightly bulging belly, and Xu Ji knelt in front of her and begged her softly. It was like a slap in the face, turning her from a sweet dream of harmonious music. He was slapped awake hard.

But at the last moment, she suddenly felt that it was not worth it.

How many times in my life have I knocked out my teeth and swallowed blood? How many grievances and pains have I endured for my children and for the sake of maintaining the dignity of myself and the Sun family? In the end, all I got was this old saying. People are righteous.

But Mrs. Wu knew that it was just a show of words, so she tried her best to put on a gentle smile and let the two of them stay.

She worked hard all her life, but at the end of the day, she found that she had lost much more than she had gained. She begged for her husband's love, but there was always a barrier between the two of them.

She begged her children to wrap around her knees and feel comforted, but she could not protect her children's safety and success.

She hopes that the family's wealth will last for a hundred generations, but wealth is like dust in the wind. It blows to this family today and sets to that family tomorrow. It is always elusive. The scene in front of her gradually blurred, and in her ears were the urgent calls of Sun Quan and Sun An. Her strength seemed to be drained away, and she opened her eyes drowsily, but her vision was still blurry.

Warm power continued to come from her hands, but she no longer had any extra strength to respond.

She tried all her strength, but in the end she could only tremble her lips, but couldn't speak.

Sun Quan quickly came closer, "Mom, tell me! Son, listen!"

"Don't...don't be buried with...your father." Mrs. Wu's voice was broken, "Put me next to...Shu Bi, Shu Bi."

Next to Sun Jian's tomb is Mrs. Wu's grave, but next to him are the tombs of Han Ji and Wei Ji.

Yuan's place is also left next to Sun Ce's tomb.

Only Sun Yi was alone, far away from his ancestral grave. His wife, Mrs. Xu, is still young and will definitely remarry someone else in the future, leaving no heirs to carry on the bloodline.

She still wanted to spend some time with her son.

"May I?"

Sun Jing, who was in charge of the funeral, looked at Sun Quan and shook her head slightly, expressing her disapproval.

If Mrs. Wu doesn't go to her ancestral grave, I don't know how much discussion it will cause if word spreads. This is detrimental to the reputation of Sun Quan and the Sun family.

Because of Sun Yi's death, although Sun Quan characterized him as a rebellion, there were still many rumors and discussions in private. If Mrs. Wu doesn't even enter the ancestral grave, I'm afraid the filthy words outside will be even more unstoppable.

If a wife is not buried with her husband, isn't it just putting the scandal of marital disharmony in front of everyone, so that others will know how to talk about her brother?
Sun Jing frowned, very unhappy.

My sister-in-law has been taking care of the overall situation her whole life, so how come she gets confused on this matter? I want my brother's reputation to be ruined.

It was not that Sun Quan didn't know the power of it, but when he looked at Mrs. Wu's sad and expectant eyes, he couldn't say no.

He hid too much guilt for Mrs. Wu in his heart. When Mrs. Wu was still strong, he didn't notice it. He only felt that it was the restriction from Mrs. Wu.

But when Mrs. Wu was lying weakly in front of him, the hidden and suppressed guilt and ties were like a snare tightly entangled in Sun Quan's heart.

The candlelight beside the couch flickered and flickered, reflecting Sun Quan's face.

Mrs. Wu's breath became weaker and weaker, and the look in her eyes gradually faded.

After hesitating for a long time, he nodded gently, "Don't worry, mom, my son will make arrangements."

Mrs. Wu got the answer she wanted and finally closed her eyes with relief.

Outside the door, Qiao Wei heard the sound of crying coming from the main room. She turned around and led the women outside the door to kneel down in a dignified manner.

"Sun Wu...is back home!"
