"Woman, no matter how favored you are, you can't stay favored all your life. The Sun family has also fallen now, and I can't help you."
Sun Shangxiang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Mom, don't worry, your husband is different from others."
Wu Guotai shook his head and said, "You have to have some snacks. No matter what, the Cai family is very powerful. You have to keep your position as the head wife and Chang'er as the eldest son."
"I know."
In Wu Guotai's view, among Liu Cong's women, the most threatening to Sun Shangxiang was the Cai family. The Cai family had good relations with various families in Jingchu, and Cai Mao led troops outside. This was a very powerful force of relatives.
Although Liu Cong did love Sun Shangxiang, he had to be on guard against others. Most of the men in the Liu family were ruthless, and there were almost no sentimental ones like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Wu Guotai's worries were not unreasonable.
At night, Wu Guotai rejected Sun Shangxiang's idea of keeping her. When he went back, he didn't forget to tell Ping'er to tell Liu Cong.
Liu Cong, who was slightly drunk, walked towards Sun Shangxiang's yard with Ping'er's support.
"Ping'er, how old are you this year?"
"My slave is eighteen this year."
"Oh, an eighteen-year-old girl is like a flower. Let's spend some time alone and see if there are any suitable candidates who can find you a good husband."
Hearing Liu Cong's words, Ping'er's face changed, "I don't want to get married. I just want to stay with the lady and the king for the rest of my life."
Liu Cong stopped and looked at her. Don't tell me, this little girl is getting more and more beautiful. "Aren't you afraid that one day I will eat you too?"
Feeling the smell of alcohol coming out of Liu Cong's mouth, Ping'er blushed and said, "Miss, I said that I belong to the king."
"Hahaha……"
Liu Cong laughed and pulled Ping'er across the threshold.
"Squeak."
After entering the room, Sun Shangxiang had already dressed up and was sitting by the bed waiting.
"Madam." Liu Cong grinned, walked to the bed in a few steps, and sat down with his butt tilted.
Sun Shangxiang blocked his kissing face in disgust, "How much wine have you drunk?"
Liu Cong grabbed Sun Shangxiang's wrist and pulled her into his arms, "Hiccup... Madam, I miss you so much."
After burping, Liu Cong lay directly on the bed and said, "Madam, please take off your clothes."
Thinking of Wu Guotai's words today and Liu Cong's absence for such a long time, Sun Shangxiang glared at him and called Ping'er to come over and help her take off Liu Cong's shoes and coat.
Standing beside the bed, Sun Shangxiang kicked Liu Cong's calf, "Hey, get up, don't pretend to be a dead pig."
"ah."
Liu Congteng sat up straight, hugged Sun Shangxiang's waist, and fell on the bed again.
"Go and wash up, your whole body is smelling of alcohol and it stinks like hell."
"I'll stink you today!"
After the storm, Sun Shangxiang nestled on Liu Cong's chest contentedly, "Husband, thank you."
"Huh?" Liu Cong was a little surprised as he stroked Sun Shangxiang's smooth back.
"Thank you for being so kind to me, thank you for sparing the Sun clan, and for allowing me to reunite with my mother."
Liu Cong kissed Sun Shangxiang's forehead lovingly, "Silly girl, how can you thank me? You are my wife. If I don't pamper you, who will?"
Sun Shangxiang happily hugged Liu Cong tightly. Liu Cong rolled his eyes and said cautiously, "But there is something I need to tell you."
"What's going on?"
"What?" Liu Cong touched his nose, looked at the curtains on the bed and said, "You have another sister."
"Oh." Sun Shangxiang realized something was wrong. He sat up and looked at Liu Cong with wide eyes, "What do you mean?"
Liu Cong smiled guiltily and took Sun Shangxiang's hand, "Madam, please listen to my explanation, this..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shangxiang withdrew his hand and asked, "Who is he? How did he hook up with you?"
"I told you, don't be angry."
"explain."
"You also know this person, she...she is...your sister-in-law." After saying this, Liu Cong didn't dare to look at Sun Shangxiang.
After a long time, I looked up and saw that Sun Shangxiang had tears streaming down his face, "Get out, get out of here!"
"Xiangxiang, listen to my explanation, I drank too much that day..."
"roll!"
"Bang!"
Liu Cong got up and wanted to comfort Sun Shangxiang, but Sun Shangxiang dragged him under the bed with force. Liu Cong fell to the ground and gnawed on the mud. He didn't care about the pain. He got up and wanted to continue to coax Sun Shangxiang.
"Xiangxiang, I'm not..."
"Get out!"
Holding the clothes thrown by Sun Shangxiang, Liu Cong walked out of the house. Ping'er, who was guarding outside the house, was a little strange, "Your Majesty, what's going on? Why did I hear you and the lady arguing just now?"
Liu Cong was not in the mood to pay attention to her, "Go in and serve her well."
The next day, Liu Cong and Da Qiao wanted to see Sun Shangxiang, but they were also turned away.
Da Qiao said worriedly, "I just said don't bring me into the house yet. If you insist on doing this, it's okay. How about I go out to live?"
"No, you are a lonely woman, and you still have the blood of a lonely girl in your belly. How can I let you go out and live there?"
If she went out to live, it would be an outer room, but since Da Qiao was already pregnant, Liu Cong could not let her live outside.
After all, what he did was not honest. Sun Shangxiang could not face his widowed sister-in-law having sex with her husband.
Liu Cong thought for a moment and said, "You go back first and go find the Madam alone."
Da Qiao covered his mouth and looked at Liu Cong in disbelief, "Dare you let Madam know about this?"
Liu Cong sighed and said, "Now, I can only let Madam Tai come to persuade me, otherwise, as time goes by, she will not be able to easily forgive Gu."
Mrs. Wu's residence was right in front of the Hou Mansion. Liu Cong led Xing Daorong and others without riding horses, so they just walked over.
The few servants at the door were brought by Wu Guotai from Jiangdong. When they saw Liu Cong arriving, they quickly saluted Liu Cong and said, "Meet the Marquis of Chu."
"Madam, are you up?"
"Get up."
"Go and report it, and say that I have something to ask for."
"promise."
After a while, the servant came back and said, "Madam, please come in."
Following the servant to the main hall, Wu Guotai was sitting there waiting for him.
"My son-in-law pays homage to my mother-in-law." When he saw Wu Guotai, Liu Cong knelt down and saluted.
"Xi Ye, what are you doing? Get up quickly, why are you giving such a big gift again?"
Liu Cong said bravely, "My son-in-law has done something wrong. Now my wife refuses to meet my son-in-law. Please help me to persuade my wife."
"What's wrong?"
"My son-in-law brought back a woman."
Wu Guotai stood up and frowned and said, "Men have three wives and four concubines. This has been the case since ancient times. Xiang girl is a little mischievous this time. Come on, I will go and take a look with you."
"Mother-in-law, please wait!"
"What's wrong?"
"That woman is Da Qiao."
"Dang clang..."
Wu Guotai dropped the crutch in his hand on the ground. After a while, he pointed at Liu Cong and said, "You...how could you?"
Liu Cong knelt on the ground and took a few steps closer, "Mother-in-law, please listen to my son-in-law. There is a reason for this. My son-in-law really drank too much that day."
Immediately, Liu Cong told Wu Guotai what happened with Da Qiao that day.
Wu Guotai's face softened a little, but he was a little angry, "Bo Fu passed Jiangdong's foundation to his younger brother, and he actually treated Bo Fu's younger brother like this!"
The person who said this was Sun Quan. Then Wu Guotai glanced at Liu Cong on the ground and said, "That's all, she has a home with you, and I hope you can be kind to Shaoer."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, my son-in-law will treat Sun Shao as his own son."
