Chapter 356

Liu Bei shook his head,

"I only hope Miss Sun doesn't mind that I am old."

"I don't mind at all!"

A girl with an excellent figure and national beauty rushed out from behind the curtain, staring at Liu Bei with big eyes, and said crisply.

Empress Dowager Wu was paralyzed. How could she be so proactive?

"Sun Shangxiang, what kind of behavior is this? Step back!"

Sun Sun Shangxiang didn't care,

"Mother, this is my future husband. What’s wrong with us meeting?"

Empress Dowager Wu wished she could give Sun Sun Shangxiang a few hits,

"How rude! Aren't you afraid Lord Liu Xuande won't like you!"

Sun Sun Shangxiang?? She clumsily gave Liu Bei a wink.

Liu Bei laughed heartily. This wink even carried killing intent; impressive!

...... ......... 0

"A tiger father has no dog daughters. Miss Sun Shangxiang has a bit of your father and brother’s demeanor, heroic and not inferior to men, free and straightforward. I like it very much."

Sun Sun Shangxiang also laughed,

"Mother, Lord Liu Xuande said he likes me."

Empress Dowager Wu supported her forehead with her hand. She was having a hard time.

Sun Sun Shangxiang was confident, flamboyant, energetic, and arrogant, full of girlish charm and vitality.

Liu Bei couldn't help but feel affection for her.

Empress Dowager Wu saw that Liu Bei didn't seem to mind, but instead revealed appreciation in his eyes, and felt relieved. As long as Liu Bei liked her...

Liu Bei laughed,

"Miss Sun, my three wives, Miss Zhu Rong, Lü Lu Lingqi, and Ma Ma Yunlu, are all outside the room. Why don't you go and spar with them?"

Sun Sun Shangxiang’s eyes lit up, and she bowed gracefully to Liu Bei,

"Lord Liu Xuande, please chat with Mother first. I’ll go meet your wives and defeat them all."

Liu Bei didn't care. The three of them, especially Miss Zhu Rong, were female generals who went to the battlefield and led troops. How could Miss Sun compare?

Live-stream netizens were sour,

"This Miss Sun is full of vitality; I love it, I love it."

"I also want a girlfriend with high martial arts skills."

"Miss Sun lost her father when she was young, so she naturally has no resistance to a handsome middle-aged uncle like Liu Bei!"

"Brother Bei, you don't even take a break. You just ate the Ye Huang in the bowl, and now you’re preparing to pack up and take away Miss Sun Shangxiang in the pot?"

Liu Bei and Empress Dowager Wu chatted about Sun Sun Shangxiang’s marriage.

Five days later, Liu Bei took Sun Sun Shangxiang into his household.

Not long after,

Sun Sun Shangxiang ran in, crying like rain, her mouth pouting, acting like a spoiled child,

"Wuwuwu, they are all better than me! Lord Liu Xuande, I was bullied by your wives!"

Liu Bei laughed heartily. This Sun Sun Shangxiang was truly a bit cute.

Sun Sun Shangxiang’s eyes rolled,

"Lord Liu Xuande, they said your martial arts are the best. You have to teach me in the future."

Liu Bei nodded,

"Good. As long as you want to learn, Sun Shangxiang, I will teach you well."

"Thank you, Lord Liu Xuande~"

Sun Sun Shangxiang smiled at the corners of her mouth, her big eyes turning into crescent moons, extremely happy.

Empress Dowager Wu also felt comforted in her heart.

Ever since Sun Sun Shangxiang knew she was to marry Cao Pi, she hadn't smiled, but recently she had been giggling often. It seems Liu Bei has fulfilled her wishes!

Liu Bei took Sun Sun Shangxiang out of the room.

Miss Zhu Rong, Lü Lu Lingqi, and Ma Ma Yunlu looked at Sun Sun Shangxiang with a hint of smugness.

"Little Sister Sun, not convinced? Shall we spar some more?"

Sun Sun Shangxiang was furious.

"Who's afraid of whom? Once I've learned martial arts from Lord Liu Xuande, I'll take on the three of you at once!"

Miss Zhu Rong burst into laughter.

"That's quite an ambition."

Liu Bei laughed.

"Alright, stop bullying Little Lady Sun. From now on, we are all one family."

Sun Sun Shangxiang blushed instantly.

"Lord Liu Xuande, I'll be heading back now."

Lü Lu Lingqi smiled.

"What is there to be shy about? We'll all be sisters from now on."

Sun Sun Shangxiang smiled, but still ran off; the young lady was still very thin-skinned.

Liu Bei looked around.

"Alright, everyone, let's head back."

The group rode back to the Provincial Governor's Mansion, and Miss Zhu Rong whispered,

"Husband, what did you go to find that General Ye for last night?"

Liu Bei laughed.

"Naturally, to discuss how to settle the affairs of the Sun family."

Miss Zhu Rong noticed the faint hickey near Liu Bei's neck.

"Oh, the discussion must have been quite intense!"

The livestream chat was naturally filled with barrages denouncing Liu Bei as a scumbag.

Lü Lu Lingqi whispered,

"Husband, that Sun Quan wants to stir up trouble, why not just kill him?"

Liu Bei wrapped his arm around Lü Lu Lingqi's waist.

"Sun Quan has ostensibly surrendered to me; if I were to kill him now, how would the people of Jiangdong view me? Who would dare to surrender to me in the future?"

Ma Ma Yunlu was thoughtful.

"So we are waiting for him to act, and then we'll wipe him out?"

Liu Bei laughed.

"The little wild horse is clever indeed. I'll choose you tonight."

Ma Ma Yunlu giggled and pulled Lü Lu Lingqi away to find Lady Xu for fortune-telling.

Liu Bei arrived at the front hall.

Everyone was already waiting there.

Liu Bei cupped his hands.

"Everyone, I was discussing the marriage with Sun Shangxiang with the Dowager, so I am late."

Zhang Zhao bowed.

"Congratulations, Lord Liu Xuande. It is we who arrived early."

Liu Bei laughed.

"I have set the date for five days from now to welcome Sun Shangxiang into my home. You must all come to drink."

Everyone hurriedly expressed that they would definitely attend.

Liu Bei began to announce the new appointments, and he looked at Sun Quan.

"Everyone, I am nominating Sun Zhongmou as the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and he will accompany me back to Changancheng."

The crowd was stunned; the position of Grand Minister of Agriculture was not low, ranking among the Nine Ministers, in charge of money, grain, gold, silk, currency, and the scheduling of funds and supplies for officials in the border commanderies.
