"Shang Xiang, I can promise you anything on a normal day, but this is the only thing I absolutely cannot promise you!"
"The relationship between Jiangdong and Jingzhou is very tense now. In order to resist Cao Cao, the two families must become one family."
"Otherwise, Jiangdong will be in danger!"
Sun Quan tried his best to persuade him.
Sun Shangxiang became even more dissatisfied.
"I don't care. I want to find Mother!"
"Mother will never let me marry Liu Bei!"
"Liu Bei is old enough to be my father. How can she let me marry him!"
Sun Shangxiang was about to go crazy.
Why must she marry Liu Bei?
She had just turned 29 this year, but what about Liu Bei?
Liu Bei was forty-eight years old!
He was a full thirty years older than her!
Sun Shangxiang had been spoiled since she was a child.
As a young girl, she also dreamed of marrying a handsome man of the same age, preferably a general.
After all, Sun Shangxiang liked to play with swords and guns. She would never want her husband to be a weak scholar.
However, reality was often cruel.
Right now, Sun Shangxiang had no other choice.
Because this path had been paved for him by his own brother!
Sun Shangxiang believed that the only person who could help her was her mother, Wu Guotai, who had been obedient to her since she was a child.
"Cough, cough, cough."
All of a sudden, an aged but dignified voice sounded.
"Mother."
Seeing this, Sun Quan hurriedly cupped his hands and said.
Although the person had wrinkles on her face, it was obvious that she had taken good care of herself. She looked a graceful and elegant woman who was more than ten years younger than her actual age.
This person was Wu Guotai, Sun Quan's wife, and the birth mother of Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shangxiang.
"Mother!"
When Sun Shangxiang saw this, she hurriedly rushed over and said with a sullen face, "I'm sorry.
"Mother, quickly persuade Elder Brother!"
"He wants me to marry Liu Bei!"
"Mother, do you know that Liu Bei is almost the same age as my father? He is thirty years older than me!"
However, Wu Guotai, who had always been very kind to Sun Shangxiang, said with a serious face.
"Mother knows."
"Mother was the one who agreed to this."
Sun Shangxiang's lovely eyes narrowed.
"What did you say?"
"Mother, why?"
Wu Guotai sighed and said,
"Mother was also forced to do so."
"Now that Jiangdong can't form an alliance without Liu Bei, Liu Bei can't form an alliance with Jiangdong."
"But the two families were like fire and water before. They must form an alliance with Qin and Jin to ease the current situation."
"Otherwise, the ministers of Jiangdong and Liu Bei will be dissatisfied with each other."
"Once the alliance breaks, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"At that time, whether it is Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they will all belong to Cao Cao!"
Wu Guotai's eyes were filled with tears.
She was also very reluctant to let her precious daughter sacrifice her lifetime of happiness for this.
However, if there was a choice, who would be willing to marry their precious daughter to a man thirty years older than them?
In modern times, this kind of thing could be avoided.
But this was ancient times. In ancient times, women didn't have the right to choose their husbands.
Moreover, this was a royal family.
Under such circumstances, the big picture was the most important thing.
Therefore, no matter how much Wu Guotai loved her daughter, she could only do this.
"Mother, I don't agree. I just don't agree!"
Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang simply acted coquettishly.
No matter what, ever since she was young, Sun Shangxiang's trick always worked in the face of things she didn't like.
But now, it didn't seem to work so well.
Although Wu Guotai still couldn't bear to see her like this, she still said resolutely,
"It's settled then."
"Come, bring the princess to her room and let her wash up."
"Send her to Jingzhou in two days!"
Sun Shangxiang was completely dumbfounded.
No matter what she did, it was useless?
Why?
Why did she have to marry a man she hadn't even met?!
If Brother Gongjin was here, he would definitely not let this happen!
However, Brother Gongjin was now dead!
Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang glared at Sun Quan fiercely, pulled out the New Moon Blade at her waist, and said coldly,
"I don't need you. I'll go by myself!"
With that, Sun Shangxiang left angrily.
Wu Guotai sighed helplessly,
"Quan 'er, as long as you work hard and take down Jingzhou, your sister won't have to suffer like this."
Sun Quan's expression was extremely ugly, but he could only nod his head.
"Mother, I'm useless and unfilial!"
Wu Guotai gently closed his eyes, turned around, and slowly left the main hall.
At this moment, Lu Su also heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter was actually brought up by Lu Su.
If Sun Shangxiang knew about this, she would definitely not forgive him.
But there was no other way. If he had a choice, how could he let Sun Shangxiang marry someone else?
Sun Quan frowned and said,
"The most important thing now is to pacify the south and suppress the Shanyue!"
"After the foreign tribes in the south are pacified, I'll see what Liu Bei has to say!"
"Jingbei, I want it for sure!"
Lu Su immediately nodded,
"I'll get it done right away!"
"I believe that the generals will not let you down."
With that, Lu Su hurriedly left, afraid that this matter would involve him again.
After all, if Sun Shangxiang held a grudge against him, wouldn't he be done for?
At this thought, Lu Su hurriedly ran away.
Before Sun Shangxiang marries to Jingzhou, it would be better for him to leave Wu County first.
At this moment, in Sun Shangxiang's room.
"Miss, don't be angry."
"What if you hurt your body?"
A servant girl said anxiously.
Sun Shangxiang said unhappily,
"Not angry? How can I not be angry? "
"That Liu Bei … sigh …"
Sun Shangxiang was speechless. She could be said to be in extreme despair.
All her beautiful fantasies were shattered.
Her husband was not a handsome young man who could wield weapons with her, but a terrible old man!
Although she had never met Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang had heard of him.
Liu Bei's ears hung down to his shoulders, and his hands were as long as an ape's.
How could such a person be good-looking?
Wasn't he a monster?!
And an old monster who wouldn't die!
Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang became even angrier.
At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in Sun Shangxiang's mind.
"Forget it, forget it. You can leave first."
"Let me be alone for a while!"
Sun Shangxiang hurriedly waved her hand, indicating for the servant girls to leave.
Seeing this, the servant girls hurriedly left.
They also knew that this matter was not something they could change.
