It has been nearly half a month since Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong. She turned against her previous stingy style and became very low-key. She could no longer see her galloping posture in Jingkou City, so that the people in Jingkou City were a little uncomfortable.

There were rumors everywhere in the city that she was about to get married in Jingzhou. The news spread very quickly. In just a few days, the entire Jiangdong learned about the news that Sun and Liu were going to marry.

Although many Jiangdong people have a headache for her, this headache is just the trouble of her parents facing naughty children. Once Princess Shangxiang really wants to marry into Jingzhou, and she is forced to marry Jingzhou because of her defeat. Jiangdong people are full of sympathy for their princess, and there are voices everywhere in Jiangdong opposing her marriage to Jingzhou.

Sun Shangxiang rode a horse and slowly left the city from the north gate and returned to the Ganlu Palace in Beigushan. She wanted to go to ask her brother for marriage, but her brother went to Wujun early in the morning, so she had to return unhappily.

Sun Shangxiang wore a long green dress, a bamboo hat on her head, and a circle of gauze curtains on all sides, covering her face. This was because everyone could not see her. She often went out, but only covered her face.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang also heard the rumors that she was going to marry in Jingzhou, which made her very conflicted. She was already at the age of getting married, and her mother and brother and sister-in-law urged her to get married again, but Jiangdong was not as good as the young hero she liked. Ling Tong could barely consider it, but she felt that Ling Tong was still missing something and could not impress her.

Occasionally, when it is late at night, Liu Jing will appear in her heart unconsciously, but she will be immediately expelled from her heart. How could she like Liu Jing?

He was the enemy of Jiangdong, and she hated him for not having enough time. During the Battle of Chaisang, she hated Liu Jing to the core. If she had the chance, she would not hesitate to pierce his heart and cut off his head without hesitation.

But since she was captured and released by Liu Jing, there was a subtle change in her heart. She no longer hated Liu Jing as much as before. The hatred seemed to disappear overnight. Once the hatred disappeared, another feeling in her heart quietly arose.

Liu Jing is not only a hero in the world, but also young, heroic and energetic. Like her elder brother Sun Ce, she is indeed the most ideal lifelong companion in her heart.

But he was Liu Biao's nephew, and her father died at the hands of Liu Biao. Jing Wu Shiqiu stood between her and Liu Jing like a mountain, causing her to constantly remind herself that she must not marry her enemy's nephew.

Until the news of Jing Wu's marriage came out, she began to feel confused. She herself didn't know how to choose, which made her feel at a loss.

Sun Shangxiang left the North City Gate in a heavy mood. At this time, a noise attracted her. She then found a large group of young men standing on an open space outside the city. There were about several people, and everyone was excited and shouting loudly.

He carried the tablet of Kong for more than a dozen soldiers and confronted the soldiers. Thousands of soldiers were extremely nervous and formed a wall to stop them from entering the city.

"We want to meet Wu Hou and let us enter the city."

The soldiers raised their arms angrily and shouted: "The signing of a treaty that betrays Jiangdong is never allowed."

"Oppose the cemetery of land and seek peace from Jingzhou"

Sun Shangxiang was a little surprised. Jingkou had not moved to the academy yet. Where did these scholars come from and how did they know that Jiangdong and Jingzhou were in secret negotiations, and they actually knew that Jiangdong was going to cede land and seek peace.

At this time, dozens of cavalry guards rushed out of the city, and the person was her cousin Sun Ben. Sun Shangxiang instinctively turned her back and prevented Sun Ben from showing her.

She didn't like the elder brother of the hall. The second sister-in-law told her two days ago that it was this cousin who forced her brother to abdicate in the Sun's ancestral hall, trying to replace him. These days, he jumped up and down, trying to win over senior military and political officials to support him. Even the elders Zhu Ran and Han Dang expressed their support for him, which made Sun Shangxiang feel disappointed.

It was later that she gradually realized that Jiangdong's defeat in Chaisang was not because of his brother's poor command, but because of the strong strength of the Jingzhou army. In that case, breaking through and retreating was a wise move and could protect Jiangdong's new army. However, Liu Jing showed their retreat attempts and made them fail.

Sun Shangxiang snorted coldly in her heart and watched Sun Ben's performance coldly.

Perhaps Sun Ben's attention was on several scholars, but Sun Shangxiang was not on the side. He urged his horse to run to the army and shouted: "Don't stop them, let them enter the city. They are scholars and have the right to meet the Marquis of Wu."

The soldiers were in a dilemma and looked back at General Weiya. General Yao, who was guarding the northern city gate, stepped forward and bowed: "I have told you, the soldiers are excited. I am afraid that they will cause trouble when they enter the city, so I stop them."

"They will be excited because of your obstruction. I will immediately let them into the city. I will bear all the consequences. Did you hear them?" Sun Ben shouted loudly.

Sun Ben has a deep connection in both military and political circles, and General Ya was quite afraid of him, so he had to order: "Does go"

The soldiers dodged to both sides, and the Dus immediately cheered and ran into the city with Kong tablets. Sun Ben gently stroked his long beard and looked at the soldiers entering the city. He felt very proud and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.

His expression was just seen by Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang suddenly realized that these soldiers who came to Jingkou to make trouble were deliberately arranged by her cousin. She was furious. This was simply despicable and shameless. She used these simple-minded soldiers to oppose her brother.

She was about to urge her to come forward to question, but she heard Sun Ben shouting: "Go to Ganlu Palace"

Sun Shangxiang was stunned. Today, his brother was not in Jingkou, but Sun Ben was going to Ganlu Palace. Why did she restrain her anger and follow Sun Ben and his entourage toward Beigushan from afar.

...........

Ganlu Palace is located at the foot of Beigu Mountain. Ganlu Temple is built not far away. At this time, Buddhism was already popular in the upper layer of Jiangdong. Sun Quan's mother, Mrs. Wu, was a devout Buddhist believer.

Mrs. Wu never asks about politics and does not go out. She doesn't know anything about it outside. She has no interest in other complicated and trivial matters except caring about her daughter's marriage.

Although she never cared about foreign affairs, it did not affect her status in Jiangdong. She was Sun Jian's wife. It can also be said that she was the most noble person in Jiangdong. Whether she was a minister, military general or an ordinary commoner, her words would change their position.

Even the Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan, regarded her as his biological mother, was extremely filial and respectful to her. Her words were more authoritative than the imperial edict in Sun Quan's heart. Mrs. Wu also understood this in her heart, so she never interfered in government decision-making.

In the past or two years, the only thing Mrs. Wu was worried about was her daughter Shangxiang’s lifelong affairs. Seeing that her daughter was nineteen years old and still alone, she began to worry and urged her son to choose a son-in-law for her sister several times.

However, although Mrs. Wu was anxious about her daughter's marriage, she herself was very picky about her future son-in-law. At first, Sun Quan proposed that Ling Tong be his sister-in-law, but was rejected by Mrs. Wu for the simple reason. Ling Tong belongs to the type of desperate man, and marrying such a man can easily become a widow.

Mrs. Wu clearly stated that he would not be a military general as a son-in-law. Soon Sun Quan proposed that Lu Xun's uncle Lu Sheng, although he was older, he was the same age as Lu Xun, and he was very talented and famous in Jiangdong.

Because Lu Xun himself had an engagement with Sun Ce's eldest daughter, it was natural for his uncle to marry his aunt. More importantly, the Lu family was the first family in the Eastern Wu and was completely worthy of his daughter. Mrs. Wu also read Lu Sheng's chapter, which made her very appreciative, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, his daughter Shang Xiang firmly opposed it, because she was weak and had a childlike figure. When Mrs. Wu met Lu Sheng in person, she also felt that he was short, half a head shorter than her daughter, and she was very thin. It was obviously not a long life, so she accused her daughter of opposition.

A few months ago, the daughter-in-law suggested that Gu Jiazhi, who had met Mrs. Wu. She was originally a palace guard. She was tall, handsome and good at music. She was a famous handsome man in Jiangdong, nicknamed Xiao Zhoulang.

Although Mrs. Wu felt that this person was just like this, as Gu Yongzhi, he was mediocre, which was a bit regretful, but he was a famous family and looked good. More importantly, his daughter was nineteen years old and could no longer delay her lifelong affairs, so Mrs. Wu reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, her daughter Shang Xiang was very strong and refused the marriage with an arrow, which caused an uproar in Jiangdong. Mrs. Wu was angry and annoyed and fell ill. Until recently, her health slowly recovered.

At this time, in the lobby of Ganlu Palace, Mrs. Wu, surrounded by a group of maids, sat on the sandalwood couch and listened quietly to Sun Ben's statement that Sun Ben was Sun Jian's nephew, but he was about the same age as Mrs. Wu. In addition, he was the head of the Sun clan, so Mrs. Wu made an exception to meet him.

Although Sun Ben was determined to seize the position of Wuhou, he knew very well that this kind of thing could not be told to the old lady, although it was because Sun Quan was her son, and more importantly, the old lady did not care about political affairs, and it would be useless to make her angry if she said it.

But Sun Shangxiang's affairs can be used as a seal. Sun Ben learned that Sun Quan planned to marry Jingzhou with his sister, but he had not informed the old lady of this matter yet, which gave Sun Ben an opportunity.

"My nephew wants to report a big event, it is about Shangxiang's marriage."

Although Mrs. Wu met Sun Ben, she was just out of etiquette. She was really not in the mood to listen to Sun Ben’s talk. However, when Sun Ben mentioned his daughter’s marriage, the old lady immediately became interested.

She laughed, "Let me tell me, what a big deal?"

"When my nephew learned about something, Wu Hou failed to fight against Jingzhou, he decided to marry Shangxiang to Liu Jing for peace. This incident made my nephew very dissatisfied. The army was defeated, but the innocent Princess Shangxiang took the consequences. This was unfair to Shangxiang. My nephew asked my aunt to preside over justice."

"What"

Mrs. Wu was shocked and asked his daughter to marry Liu Biao's nephew. You must know that Liu Biao was the culprit of killing her husband. She was furious and asked coldly: "What you said is serious."

Sun Ben observed his expression and felt the old lady's anger. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He added a more critical sentence, "This matter is indeed true, and as far as my nephew knows, Liu Jing already has a wife."

The last sentence was like a fire-catching wooden stick and threw it into the oil barrel. Old Mrs. Wu was finally furious and knocked heavily with a dragon-head crutch, shouting to her left and right: "Go and call me that evil man."
