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 of 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 people in Jiangdong have a headache for her, this headache is just the trouble of 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 is full of sympathy for her princess, and there are voices everywhere in Jiangdong that oppose 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 feel very conflicted. She was already at the age of getting married. Her mother and brother and sister-in-law repeatedly urged her to get married, 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? She could not impress her.

Occasionally, when it was late at night, Liu Jing would appear in her heart unconsciously, but she was immediately expelled from her heart. How could she like Liu Jing? He was the enemy of Jiangdong, and she hated him for not having 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 so much. 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 and heroic, full of energy. She looks very much like her elder brother Sun Ce, and is indeed her 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 that there were a large group of young scholars standing on an open space outside the city, about hundreds of people. Everyone was excited and shouting loudly. More than a dozen scholars in the lead carried Confucius' tablets 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 Mr. Wu! 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 in charge was her cousin Sun Ben. Sun Shangxiang instinctively turned her back and prevented Sun Ben from discovering her.

She very much disliked 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 Clan Ancestral Hall, trying to replace him. These days he has been jumping up and down, trying his best 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 extremely disappointed.

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

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

Perhaps Sun Ben's attention was on hundreds of scholars, but he did not find Sun Shangxiang on the roadside. 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 the leader general. The general who guarded the northern city gate stepped forward and bowed: "I have told you, these soldiers are too 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. Have you heard?" 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: "Get out of the way!"

The soldiers dodged to both sides, and hundreds of soldiers immediately cheered and ran into the city carrying Confucius' spirit cards. Sun Ben gently stroked his long beard and looked at the scholars 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 scholars who came to Jingkou to make trouble were deliberately arranged by their cousins. She was furious. This was simply too despicable and shameless. She used these simple-minded scholars to oppose their brothers.

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 is this? She restrained her anger and followed Sun Ben and his party to 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 civil servant or a military general or an ordinary commoner, her words would change their position.

Even Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu, regarded her as her biological mother, was extremely filial and respectful to her. Her words were more authoritative than imperial edicts 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 is a desperate type, and marrying such a man can easily become a ****.

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 his literary talent was very famous in Jiangdong.

Because Lu Xun herself 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 had also read Lu Sheng's articles, which made her very appreciative, so she agreed.

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

A few months ago, the daughter-in-law mentioned the son of the Gu family. Mrs. Wu had met him. She was originally a palace guard. She was tall, handsome and very good at music. She was a famous handsome man in Jiangdong, nicknamed "Xiao Zhoulang".

Although Mrs. Wu felt that this person was just like that. As the son of Gu Yong, he was a mediocre literary talent, which was a bit regretful. However, he was a son of a famous family and had a good appearance. More importantly, his daughter was nineteen years old and could no longer be delayed for a lifetime. Mrs. Wu reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Unexpectedly, her daughter Shang Xiang was very strong and used three arrows to reject the marriage, which caused an uproar in Jiangdong. Mrs. Wu was angry and annoyed and fell ill all of a sudden. 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 Ben can use Sun Shangxiang's affairs to make a fuss. 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 made Sun Ben discover 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's the 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. To 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 wooden stick on fire 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!"
