Sun Shangxiang's brisk steps echoed in the alleys of the city.
The Marquis' Mansion is actually quite far away from the family's mansion.
However, Sun Shangxiang, who has been a wild child since he was a child, likes running, jumping, riding horses and archery, does not have much feelings about this journey.
You can go back even if you run - that's what she thought at first.
But soon, she realized something was wrong.
Suddenly there were many soldiers on the street, and these soldiers were obviously looking for someone. They had rummaged through every shop on the street, like hounds not sparing any corner - Sun Shangxiang only wanted to
As soon as I thought about it, I realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Are you... here to catch me?"
"Sure enough...brother, those excuses you said before were just to delay time...Sure enough, I have already grasped it as a tool for marriage, right?"
Sun Shangxiang no longer wants to hear Sun Quan's answer. In his mind, Sun Quan's image has plummeted, not to mention Zhou Yu who has been by the side without any scruples from the beginning——
Hmm...that Lu Zijing is not a good person, he actually wants to marry off his sister-in-law...
Sun Shangxiang was scared and angry now, but after knowing that her brother Sun Quan planned to send people to arrest her, she became determined that she must leave here and not let others control her.
——
"Have you noticed it over there?"
A soldier wearing leather armor and holding an ax in his hand greeted a group of people at the other end of the street.
A response came quickly from the other side, but the responses were generally the same:
"No, no trace was found. Let's go to the next place - Lin'an Street has been blocked by the governor. As long as the lady has not left the city, she must still be hiding in some corner."
After the two parties communicated like this, they quickly rushed to the next street.
Most of the people on the street were confused, but fortunately, these soldiers did not do anything extraordinary. The commotion only lasted for a short while, and order was restored to the street.
However, not long after everyone left, a strange sound suddenly came from the rice vat of the street grain store.
Of course, the owner of the grain store was a little confused. He thought some kind of mouse had gotten into the rice vat, so he picked up the stick and walked towards the rice vat in annoyance.
As a result, the cover of the rice vat was suddenly pushed open by a force.
Not only the store owner, but also the passers-by who happened to be passing by looked at this scene in shock——
Looking at this young girl emerging from the pile of pure white rice, some people actually exclaimed:
"It's the Rice God... The Rice God has appeared?"
"How big are you? This lady is a human being, a living human being!"
Sun Shangxiang pouted and rolled his eyes at the yelling passerby as if he were an idiot. Regardless of the grain store owner's attitude of wanting to hold him accountable, he checked around the street and then turned around and slipped into a side alley.
Disappeared without a trace.
The inspecting army, the girl in the rice vat, everything seemed so dramatic.
Just because of a hidden conspiracy, innocent people are involved. This is what happens in troubled times - only a very few people can control their own destiny, and most people are just reeds swaying in the wind throughout their lives -
And among the reeds, there are small flowers growing stubbornly. No one knows whether they can grow into full bloom... But even so, wouldn't it be a pity to just go with the flow without tasting it?
The girl was carrying a pair of wooden clogs and running barefoot in the streets. There were many scars on her feet and a lot of sweat on her forehead, but...she could persevere.
Just because she is herself, not an independent self defined by others.
——
Lin'an Street...in the Sun Mansion.
Wu Guotai is sitting upright. Although she is old, her beauty is still the same. However, the beauty in her body is not the charm of a young woman, but a dignified and graceful feeling.
Beside him were a few timid maids, and outside the door were a few strong men with solemn faces.
Kunita took a sip of hot tea and seemed calm and unhurried. The commotion outside the house was still going on, but it didn't seem to affect this strong woman.
"Guotai... why don't we go and investigate outside the mansion? If we can see the Marquis' people, everything will be easier?"
"No need, just stay here well so as not to cause trouble. Whether this matter has anything to do with our Sun Mansion, we will know soon."
Wu Guotai's voice was smooth and steady, with the magnetism unique to mature women. After hearing her words, everyone seemed to have taken reassurance and slowly calmed down.
But... this commotion has been going on for a stick of incense. Even Wu Guotai can't understand why such an ordinary day is so chaotic?
Her eyes were always staring in the direction of the mansion's door. In her opinion, the answer should be revealed from there.
Only this time, Wu Guotai guessed wrong.
The girl who climbed over the courtyard wall and came into the house made the old lady, who was extremely calm under most circumstances, panic.
Wu Guotai, who had just shown off his grandma's power, saw the girl's embarrassed appearance at first sight, especially her little feet which were cut in many places by debris due to their nakedness.
I was so distressed that I started crying.
On the contrary, the girl's soles were really numb because she climbed over the courtyard wall. She was grinning and wiping sweat on her face, which formed a sharp contrast.
"My daughter, what are you doing? Why are you in such a mess? Let me come and have a look. Look... look at your feet. How injured they are?"
"And... and how did you climb over the courtyard wall? Why didn't you take the main entrance?"
After some complaints, the maids and servants in the mansion all laughed heartily, knowing that only when facing their own young lady Sun Shangxiang, Wu Guotai would reveal his motherly nature.
There were so many questions in a row that Sun Shangxiang couldn't answer for a while. When he saw his mother stumbling towards her, the strong girl who had thousands of things to say couldn't hold it in anymore.
He bit his lower lip, curled his lips and threw himself into his mother's arms.
"Mom...I don't want to leave..."
Sun Shangxiang's hoarse voice struck Wu Guotai's soft heart in an instant. Out of his desire to protect his daughter, combined with all the previous abnormalities, Wu Guotai's face slowly darkened.
"Good boy, tell me what happened, and I will make the decision for you!"
——
I don't know how long it took, but outside Sun's mansion, Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and Lu Su stood side by side.
They had arranged for the guards to arrest Sun Shangxiang, but in the final analysis, they still wanted to inform Wu Guotai, so as not to make Wu Guotai dissatisfied with the commotion - of course... also to conceal the truth of the matter.
Sun Quan took a deep breath, and under the gazes of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, he gently knocked on the door of the mansion.
"Mother! The child is here to see you..."
The concierge opened the door very quickly.
Sun Quan had a lot of emotions brewing and planned to greet him with a smile, but the moment he opened the door.
Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su were stunned on the spot at the same time.
He didn't know how to explain the scene in front of him, but when he saw this scene, Sun Quan instinctively thought that... their plan might have failed.
At this moment, at the end of the line of sight of the three of them, Wu Guotai was leading Sun Shangxiang slowly towards the outside of the house.
