The carriage was driving on the street, and several personal guards rode on horseback. In the carriage, Liu Jing leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes for a rest. As the end of the year gradually approached, the day of the second northern expedition was getting closer. Due to the failure of the first northern expedition, Liu Jing had learned a full lesson and no longer rushed north. Instead, he decided to go step by step and fight a protracted war.

If this is the case, then Jingzhou will likely be faced with Cao's army's advance southward. He must be prepared. Liu Jing sighed softly. Whether this Northern Expedition can be successful will directly affect the overall situation of his next ten years. If this Northern Expedition is still defeated by Cao's army, then he can only change his strategy, turn to attack Jiangdong, and unify the south first.

At this time, the carriage slowed down and slowly stopped. Liu Jing opened his eyes and found that he had arrived at the mansion. At this time, he suddenly found dozens of mule carts parked at the mansion gate, filled with various cages of various sizes. The servants in the mansion were carrying boxes to the mansion. Liu Jing suddenly realized something. He pushed open the car door, jumped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the mansion.

"General"

As soon as he walked into the mansion, Liu Jing suddenly heard someone calling him behind him. When he turned around, he saw Cai Shaoyu walking out from behind the screen wall and slowly walking forward with his head down. "It was Princess Shangxiang who is back." Cai Shaoyu said in a low voice, her tone filled with desolation.

Since she kissed by the lake that night, her relationship with Liu Jing gradually became dull and did not continue. Cai Shaoyu has already seen that Liu Jing did not like her, but was willing to accept her out of pity for her. This feeling made her feel very disappointed. She suggested to Tao Zhan that she would temporarily live in the mansion, and the dignity of a woman made her not want to be taken as a concubine by Liu Jing like this.

"I guess she's back, too."

Liu Jing smiled, he looked down at Cai Shaoyu, and saw that she looked quite lonely, so he asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

"I"

Cai Shaoyu sighed softly, "Brother wrote a letter to ask me to go back to his mansion."

She looked up at Liu Jing, her eyes full of sorrow, and lowered her head and whispered: "I think I'd better move away."

A hint of sympathy arose in Liu Jing's heart. In fact, it was not that he did not want to take Cai Shaoyu as his concubine. He was pitying her and could take care of her. It was that Cai Shaoyu was once Liu Cong's wife. Although she was only a nominal wife, everyone in Jingzhou knew that he could let Cai Shaoyu live in his mansion. To outsiders, this was the love of his uncle and sister-in-law, but he could not take her as his concubine silently.

So he sent someone to the Cai family in Xiangyang, hoping that the Cai family would agree to Cai Shaoyu live in his mansion. This was actually a hint. The Cai family came forward and offered to continue Cai Shaoyu as his side room. As long as the Cai family spoke, it would be hard for outsiders to say anything, but the Cai family was silent, and did not say yes or said no. In fact, they just didn't want to ask about Cai Shaoyu's affairs.

Liu Jing also understood the difficulties of the Cai family. After all, Cai Shaoyu's father Cai Mao is currently the county magistrate of Shangjun. Without Cai Mao's nod, the Cai family could not interfere. In this way, Liu Jing could not recklessly take her as a concubine, and could only wait patiently.

He understood the depression in Cai Shaoyu's heart, so he pulled her to the hut beside him, held her pretty face and smiled: "Don't think about it anymore, live here with peace of mind. This is your home, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"But how long do you want me to wait?" Cai Shaoyu asked quietly.

"In a year, maybe when I come back from the Northern Expedition, I believe there will be a result."

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "You can write a letter to your father and tell him that you will live in my mansion, and you can also hint that you will become my wife."

Cai Shaoyu was shocked. She looked at Liu Jing's firm gaze and her heart gradually melted. She nodded gently, then pressed her face against his chest, and sighed softly, "Actually, my brother didn't write me. If you don't want me, I really don't know where to go."

"Then listen to me, go back to the inner hall and be with everyone, don't walk away alone, I don't like it."

"I know, I will listen to you."

Cai Shaoyu quickly kissed Liu Jing's cheek, turned around and walked quickly towards the inner hall. Liu Jing looked at her walking away, but was not in a hurry to go to the inner hall, but went back to her study first.

The inner hall was extremely lively. Sun Shangxiang had been away for half a year and finally came back from Jiangdong today. Her mother was treated by Zhang Zhongjing and slowly recovered from her serious illness. Although she had not recovered as before, at least she didn't have to prepare for her funeral.

As soon as his mother's illness improved, Sun Quan urged Sun Shangxiang to return to Chengdu. After nearly a month of long journey, Sun Shangxiang finally arrived in Chengdu by boat.

Sun Shangxiang had already returned home and missed her husband. She was outgoing and unrestrained. Her mother's recovery made her feel particularly happy. The inner hall was filled with her laughter. She brought back a lot of gifts from Jiangdong. Not only Tao Zhan, Bao Niang and the children, but also the maids and female guards in the inner palace were all part of it, and everyone was happy for a while.

Sun Shangxiang was wearing a light green silk-hemp mixed dress, with a silk tucked waist, and a short sword around her waist. Her black waterfall-like hair was naturally dispersed. She was tall and looked particularly slender and elegant. At this time, she was holding Tao Zhan’s daughter who had only been born for several months, chatting and laughing with everyone, commenting on the little baby that was carved like jade in her hand.

"When I left, you were still in your mother's belly, but in a blink of an eye, you ran out and grew so big. Let the second mother see who you look like."

Sun Shangxiang kissed her little face in love, turned around and smiled at Tao Zhan, "Sister, don't you notice that she looks a bit like me?"

Tao Zhan said angrily: "If you like it, I'll give it to you. You feed her every night, which will torture me to death."

Sun Shangxiang picked up Liu Chan and smiled and said, "Oh poor little guy, your mother doesn't want you anymore. I'll follow Er Niang in the future. Er Niang can't breastfeed, but Er Niang can teach you how to practice martial arts and go to battle to kill the enemy when you grow up."

Her words made everyone in the inner hall laugh. Bao Niang smiled and handed her daughter in her arms to her, "Shangxiang, teach me Zhuer too."

"Then I will have two apprentices in the future."

At this time, Liu Zhi rushed over like a gust of wind, pulled Sun Shangxiang's arm and begged: "Er Mother, you can teach me how to practice martial arts, I'm willing."

Sun Shangxiang smiled and knocked on his little head, "First, I won't accept male disciples; Second, your father's martial arts are even better. I can't beat him, so go to him; First, let go, you will pull my sleeve off by you."

While joking, Tao Zhan found Cai Shaoyu walked in through the small door next to her. She thought about it and knew that it was Liu Jing who was back. She quickly asked the wet nurse to take the child away, and took Sun Shangxiang to Cai Shaoyu, and introduced it to Sun Shangxiang: "This is the Miss Cai I mentioned to you just now, Shaoyu, this is my sister Shangxiang. In fact, you should have heard of each other long ago."

Cai Shaoyu felt a little nervous and hurriedly gave a gift, "See the Second Lady"

Sun Shangxiang is cheerful and outgoing, but she is a smart woman. Although Tao Zhan said it vaguely, she immediately guessed why Cai Shaoyu lived in the mansion. It must be Liu Jing brought her back. This guy, who had only been back for a few months, found another woman to come back. He must settle the score with him tonight.

Although she was a little blamed by Liu Jing, Sun Shangxiang was a cheerful person. She quickly replied with a gift and smiled at Tao Zhan: "It's all my fault that my elder sister didn't write a letter to tell me. I don't know that Miss Sun was in the mansion and did not prepare a gift. This is a fatal thing."

Cai Shaoyu waved her hand in a hurry, "Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Second, I don't want a gift."

"That won't work. I can't favor one and the other, and see people with nothing."

Sun Shangxiang thought about it, then took off a string of gem necklace from her neck, hung it on it for Cai Shaoyu, and said with a smile: "This is a necklace I scraped from my second sister-in-law. I will give it to you. I hope you like it."

Cai Shaoyu was moved, gently stroked the necklace and whispered: "Thank you, the second wife."

"Don't say thank you. If you spend a long time together in the future, you will be annoyed me."

At this time, Tao Zhan walked up to him and smiled, "I'm so nagging, I'm a little annoyed about you now. Go and wash your face and prepare for dinner."

She whispered in Sun Shangxiang's ear again: "He is back, waiting for you in the study."

Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly turned red, and she said with a little twisted voice: "What does it have to do with me when he comes back? I'm not here for him."

"Go and wash your face quickly"

Tao Zhan pushed her out with a smile. After leaving the yard, Sun Shangxiang turned around and rushed to the study room like a gust of wind. Bao Niang stood in front of the window. Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was heading in the wrong direction, she covered her mouth and laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. Tao Zhan quickly winked her, but for a moment, Tao Zhan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.

Sun Shangxiang quickly walked into Liu Jing's study. As soon as she entered the door, her waist was hugged by the person at the door. Smelling the familiar atmosphere, Sun Shangxiang was extremely excited. She turned around and held her husband's neck, and the two kissed each other tightly.

I don’t know how long it took for a kiss, but Sun Shangxiang reluctantly separated from him. Her eyes were bright like gems, and she stared at Liu Jing with a scorching look, "Do you miss me?"

The answer to her was Liu Jing's kiss like a storm. Sun Shangxiang was drunk. Liu Jing stroked her and whispered: "You wild girl, I've been there for so long, I want to punish you."

After saying that, he picked up her legs and picked her up and walked quickly towards the inner room. The two fell on the couch and hugged each other affectionately. It was not until Liu Jing started to untie her skirt that she suddenly woke up and hugged Liu Jing's hand, "Mr., it's not possible now. My sister is still waiting for us to have dinner. Let's go tonight."

"If not, just do a small act now, and continue to punish it at night, and you must punish it until dawn."

Sun Shangxiang hugged his neck, kissed his lips and smiled, "It should be me who will punish you. First, explain to me honestly what happened to that Miss Cai?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable with this?"

"I didn't feel uncomfortable even though my sister didn't say anything, but I warn you, we women are enough to enjoy all the blessings of others. If you dare to mess with things outside, be careful that I will knock you down."

Sun Shangxiang pulled out the short sword from his waist, and the sharp blade pressed on Liu Jing's thigh, and said with a smile: "Do you know why I carry the sword on my body? I'm going to use it to cut your thing."

Liu Jing was lying on the bed. Seeing Sun Shangxiang as cute, he couldn't help laughing. Sun Shangxiang's face sank, "What do you laugh at? Do you think I dare not castrate you? I will marry a man who doesn't mess with you again, so I won't care about you."

"What should I do?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

"There's a way."

Sun Shangxiang put away the sword, pressed it on Liu Jing, and held his cheek and said, "I heard from my elder sister that you will go to Hanzhong for inspection in two days, so I will take me with you, so that you will not be able to mess with the flowers."

"You wild girl, it turns out that I'm going to have this idea. What if I don't agree?"

Sun Shangxiang looked a little sad, and after a while, he whispered: "This time I go back to Jiangdong, I feel very stressed. It seems that I am going to have a baby too."

Liu Jing felt an inexplicable touch in his heart. He hugged Sun Shangxiang's waist tightly and said in her ear: "Okay, I promise you, and we will work hard tonight."

Sun Shangxiang smiled sly, "This is called using both soft and hard. I have learned another trick of controlling my husband."

Liu Jing looked at her angrily. At this time, the maid's voice came from outside the door, "Master, Madam, please ask the master to have dinner."

Sun Shangxiang suddenly panicked: "It's broken, I have to wash my face first, otherwise they will laugh to death."
