Although he didn't know the reason, Sun Shangxiang would not fail to give Liu Cong face in public, so he walked straight to the carriage.
Sun Shangxiang walked to the carriage, and Xing Daorong, who was guarding the carriage, bowed to the carriage and said, "Mrs. Madam, please get out of the car."
Madam! Upon hearing these three words, Sun Shangxiang's eyes widened and he stared at the carriage closely.
The soldiers stepped forward and opened the curtain. Wu Guotai poked his head out of the carriage, smiled softly at Sun Shangxiang, and slowly got out of the carriage.
"Mother!"
As soon as Wu Guotai got off the carriage and stood still, Sun Shangxiang threw herself into her arms and began to cry.
Wu Guotai stroked Sun Shangxiang's back lovingly, "You are such a big girl, why are you crying?"
"Mother, my daughter is unfilial..." Looking up, Sun Shangxiang had tears streaming down her face, "Mom, how have you been in the past two years?"
"Okay, everything is fine, mother. Didn't she come to see you too?"
"My daughter is unfilial... mother... my daughter is unfilial..." Upon hearing this, Sun Shangxiang cried even harder. She didn't even go back to see Wu Guotai.
It was not until today that Jiangdong was annexed by Liu Cong that Wu Guotai came to Xiangyang. For this, Sun Shangxiang really felt that he owed his mother a lot.
Sun Shangxiang has already had two sides to her marriage to Liu Cong. From the time she arrived in Jingzhou, she missed Wu Guotai all the time.
In Jiangdong, Sun Ce was busy fighting and did not pay much attention to her sister. As for Sun Quan, haha, there is nothing to say.
Only Wu Guotai pampered her as his heartthrob. From childhood to adulthood, she got whatever she wanted. Even though she was different from ordinary girls and liked martial arts, Wu Guotai's pampering for her did not weaken at all.
Wu Guotai wiped the endless tears on Sun Shangxiang's face while chatting with Sun Shangxiang in a soft voice.
Liu Cong gave Xing Daorong a look, and the soldiers beside the last carriage quickly and quietly drove their horses to the back door of the Hou Mansion. Following the carriage, there were several maids.
At this point, Liu Cong still felt uneasy, so he led the two maids carrying the children forward, smiled at Wu Guotai, and said, "Mother-in-law, these are your two grandsons."
"Chang'er, Chunxi, call me grandma." (Officially called grandma or grandpa. Here we just use grandma.)
The two children are only over one year old and can speak some simple words. However, when they first heard that they wanted to call the old woman in front of them grandma, they were a little hesitant and did not speak for a while.
Sun Shangxiang stopped shedding tears. He carried Liu Chang to Wu Guotai and said with a smile, "Mother, your grandson is my daughter's son. My husband named him Liu Chang."
Even with Sun Shangxiang's fierce personality, he knew that his son was more important than his daughter, and only Liu Cong regarded his daughter as his treasure.
Wu Guotai smiled and took the child, looked at the child lovingly, and then looked at Sun Shangxiang, "My sweet girl, you are now a mother too."
"Look at this big fat boy. He looks like his father. But his eyes are like yours. These double eyelids and big eyes are so smart."
Teasing the child, Wu Guotai felt mixed emotions. Jiangdong was destroyed, but the Sun family did not die, because her grandson would inherit Liu Cong's legacy in the future. Her grandson has half of the blood of his Sun family!
In the troubled times of fighting for hegemony, her husband Sun Jian died, and her eldest son Sun Ce died. Sun's current ending is not bad. At least her clan members are alive and well. At least she and her daughter are reunited.
Thinking about it, Wu Guotai laughed and shook little Liu Chang in his arms, "Chang'er, call me grandma, I am your grandma."
"Waituo, Waituo." Perhaps because of the kindness on Wu Guotai's face, Liu Chang actually called out!
Liu Chang was still a little tongue-tied when he spoke, but Wu Guotai didn't care at all. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and kept saying, "Hey, hey, my dear grandson."
Xing Daorong calmly nodded to Liu Cong, and Liu Cong continued, "Madam, why don't you go in with your mother-in-law first? You see, it's a bit inappropriate for our whole family to stand at the gate with our entire family.
"
"Don't worry, Madam, my mother-in-law's residence has been arranged a long time ago. It's right in front of the Marquis' Mansion. Whenever you two want to meet, you can meet in just a few steps."
Wu Guotai nodded and said with a smile, "Xi Ye is determined."
Sun Shangxiang nodded happily, took the child over and handed it to Liu Cong, took Wu Guotai's arm and walked into the Marquis' Mansion, "Mother, you are eating here today, and you will stay at my place tonight. Let's rest for a few days, and my daughter will take care of her."
You go to Xiangyang City for a walk."
"Let me tell you, Xiangyang City is very lively, much more lively and prosperous than our Wuxian County. You must go out and see for yourself in a few days."
Wu Guotai's face was also full of joy, and he shook his head and said, "Xiye has just come back now, how can I live here with you? You couple haven't seen each other for so long, it's time to spend some time together to talk about your love."
Sun Shangxiang grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, "Mom, don't worry, my husband won't say anything. Besides, I have the final say in the backyard, especially in my yard."
There was a bit of pride in Sun Shangxiang's tone, and a bit of coquettishness to show off to Wu Guotai.
Wu Guotai pointed his finger on Sun Shangxiang's forehead, "You damn girl, when will you change your outspoken temperament? You are already married and have children, and you are still so ungrateful."
Sun Shangxiang hugged Wu Guotai's arm tighter, "I will be your daughter no matter what I become. Anyway, I don't care, I will hold you to sleep tonight."
Wu Guotai smiled helplessly and said, "How come you are so lucky to marry such a good husband like Xiye?"
"He is lucky to marry me."
…
That night, there was another carnival in the Hou Mansion. Civil and military officials congratulated Liu Cong for taking Jiangdong and expanding the territory of Jingchu.
Liu Biao's face was glowing during the dinner, and he grabbed Sima Hui and several old men and kept boasting that he had given birth to a good son. Huang Chengyan on the side looked sour.
He had no sons, but his only daughter was married to Zhuge Liang and went to Xichuan.
In the backyard, Sun Shangxiang was still resting on Wu Guotai's lap like a little girl.
"Mother, how is the second brother doing?"
Wu Guotai paused while arranging Sun Shangxiang's hair, "He is quite good. Xiye didn't make things difficult for him. You...don't you remember your second brother very much?"
Sun Shangxiang sat up and said, "Of course I have a grudge, but he is my second brother after all, and we are connected by blood, so I naturally care about him."
"Silly girl, your second brother now has no worries about food and clothing and is living..."
"Mom, let's not talk about this anymore. It's okay as long as the second brother is fine. My daughter just doesn't want you to worry."
Wu Guotai smiled and said, "Do you still know that you feel sorry for your mother?"
"Looking at what you said, no matter what, I am still your daughter."
Wu Guotai smiled, then his face changed, and he said seriously, "Daughter, I have something to say to my mother, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Sun Shangxiang stared at Wu Guotai with big eyes and said, "Of course my mother has something to say. What else can't you and your daughter say?"
There was a hint of sadness in Wu Guotai's brows, "Daughter, I feel that Xiye really loves you very much, but you can't be so arrogant because of your favor."
