Chapter 6677 The turmoil begins

Originally, there would be a very big trouble if Pang Tong took the name of Zhou Yu, and that was Xiao Qiao, because no matter whether you lied to Xiao Qiao or not, there would be a big problem.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao was pregnant because Zhou Yu finally had some free time to fool around with her. So after more than ten years of no news, Da Qiao immediately took over Xiao Qiao's information channels after receiving the news that Zhou Yu was in trouble. Then she trapped Xiao Qiao in an information cocoon and managed every message Xiao Qiao received.

As a result, Xiao Qiao still doesn't know what happened outside. As for why Zhou Yu has not been seen for another month, it has always been like this in the navy. It is normal for people to disappear for a month or two when they go out on a ship. It was not normal when he stayed in Sumatra and accompanied her before. Now it is too normal.

"Sister, do you have any new vernacular novels for me to read?" Xiao Qiao curled up on her bed and greeted Da Qiao lazily. As her body became heavier, Xiao Qiao became more and more lazy, and the sharpness of her thinking also obviously declined.

"Yes." Da Qiao has recently gotten used to maintaining a normal expression in front of Xiao Qiao. Of course, the most important point is that Sun Bofu has not returned yet, and Da Qiao has vaguely made some guesses. After all, Da Qiao is very clear about the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Anyway, without Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, the two of them can definitely still live on. Based on this emotional foundation, if Zhou Yu really died, Sun Ce would definitely go crazy.

However, after such a long time since Zhou Yu's death, Sun Ce still had no reaction. Although Zhou Yu walked out of the ice cellar after his death, saying that he was just faking his death, considering that even if he was faking his death, Sun Ce should have come back to check on such a big thing, but there is still no follow-up. Da Qiao has had some doubts to some extent, but has not shown them.

As I said, Da Qiao doesn't understand Zhou Yu, but she really understands Sun Ce. This man is really willing to risk his life for certain things. So Da Qiao is not sure what the current situation is, but she really has to question whether Zhou Yu is dead or not.

As for Zhou Yu who has been in Ye Diao's government office recently, Da Qiao wanted to test him, but on the one hand, she was not very familiar with the logic of Zhou Yu's behavior. On the other hand, before the other party came to Zhou Yu's mansion, Da Qiao had no need to test him recently. Seeking stability was also very necessary for Da Qiao. If the test turned out to be Zhou Yu, that would be the best. Otherwise, no one would be able to save face.

Therefore, Da Qiao has been keeping a respectful distance from Zhou Yu in the government office recently. As long as he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary or harm the Han Empire, Da Qiao, the mistress of Wu, is willing to turn a blind eye. After all, Da Qiao knows what the most important thing is recently. Other things don't matter. It is very important to let Xiao Qiao do nothing.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiao obviously became a little dumber after she became pregnant. In addition, Zhou Yu was habitually away from home, so Xiao Qiao didn't feel anything special when he didn't show up for a while. And Da Qiao had a good reason to come and accompany Xiao Qiao - your brother-in-law went to Northern Europe, Sun Shao was studying in Chang'an, and I had nothing to do at home, and you were pregnant, so I came to see you as your sister.

Xiao Qiao had no doubts about this. At most, she felt a little strange about Da Qiao's occasional gloomy look during the first two days after she arrived. But after a while, it was no longer strange. After all, her sister's character itself had a gloomy side, which was completely different from a lively and cheerful girl like her. She just had to get used to it.

"Hey, who wrote this?" After Xiao Qiao took the book handed to her by Da Qiao, she flipped through it and felt that the thoughts reflected in the book were interesting. After all, nowadays even a book has a plot, and the plot of a novel will always reflect part of the author's thinking.

"The new stuff from Chang'an should be written by the same person who wrote Chen Zichuan and Cai Zhaoji before." Da Qiao said calmly, "Although the pen name has changed, the writing style is still highly similar. The plot has changed, but some of the thoughts are still similar. It's just that relatively speaking, the thinking logic and the perspective of looking at problems have also changed. They are more complete and at a higher level."

Xiao Qiao nodded when she heard this. She could also perceive these subtle changes. After all, as members of the Sangong clan, they both received the right education at the right time and were able to awaken their spiritual talents. Therefore, they could easily perceive the things reflected in certain literary works, and they could see the changes in the author's thinking of this stuff at a glance.

"My thinking has become more complete, and I look at problems from a higher perspective. Hmm, which spiritual talent possessor, and a high-level one at that, has nothing better to do than write this?" Xiao Qiao looked at the content about Liu Tong and Si Niang in the storybook, which was said to be a documentary, with some surprise.

How should I put it? Xiao Qiao doesn't know whether this thing is a documentary or not, but there are many things in it that you can't even write about if you haven't seen, eaten, or experienced them. So Xiao Qiao just took a quick look and understood that the guy who wrote this thing is also a top boss. In addition, he inadvertently looks at certain issues from the perspective of the world, and extends some almost commonplace judgments. To be honest, only some spiritually gifted people in Chang'an would do this.

"With just those few people, you can guess the answer. But there's no need to guess about this kind of thing. Anyway, I think this is pretty good." Da Qiao said with a faint smile, "Just watch it first. I'll make you some seafood porridge. Eat it and take a rest."

"Sister, can we not do it?" Xiao Qiao asked tentatively.

The food that Da Qiao cooks is pretty good. Moreover, we are currently in Southeast Asia and it is the third century, so there is still plenty of rare seafood in the sea, and they are all natural and pollution-free. Therefore, if you simply make some porridge, as long as the ingredients are fresh enough, the taste is still quite good.

The problem is what kind of family Zhou Yu comes from. Da Qiao's cooking skills are far worse than Xiao Qiao's chef, and that's no joke.

Therefore, it was okay to have two loving meals made by her sister occasionally, but after eating so many meals in a row, Xiao Qiao was somewhat unbearable. Her family’s cook was not a waste!

"What do you think?" Da Qiao said to Xiao Qiao kindly. Xiao Qiao collapsed back on her bed upon hearing that. Then, she looked at Da Qiao with a bit of tiredness. Let her do whatever she wants. It's not very unpalatable anyway. The taste is also different because of the seafood added each time. To be honest, it's much better than what she had eaten more than ten years ago when the clan leader Qiao Xuan was the Third Duke. Just do as her elder sister wishes.

Xiao Qiao collapsed on the bed, raised her hand and flipped through the book of palace secrets recorded by Xin Xianying, which was enough to melt the hearts of noble lady Tiebei. She read it with great joy. After Da Qiao left Xiao Qiao's courtyard, she immediately went to inform the guards she had arranged.

As I said, Xiao Qiao has a very special status in Zhou Yu's family. Ever since Zhou Yu turned down Zhang's engagement proposal and married Xiao Qiao, there have been objections to Xiao Qiao within the Zhou family. However, Zhou Yu, the head of the family, is too powerful, so even if other people in the family have something to say, they have to keep it to themselves.

In addition, after Da Qiao married Sun Ce, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu became sworn brothers and brothers-in-law, which strengthened the relationship between the Sun and Zhou families. Therefore, even if the Zhou family was dissatisfied for only a few years after Xiao Qiao's marriage, they did not show it.

What really made the Zhou family unhappy was that Xiao Qiao had never given birth to a child for Zhou Yu. In fact, this is also the case in official history. This is also the reason why Xiao Qiao was rather miserable after Zhou Yu's death.

Unlike the official history, this time Xiao Qiao is Zhou Yu's legal wife. The two knew each other quite early, and Zhou Yu was not married. As the mistress had been childless, there was a lot of resentment within the Zhou family. For more than ten years, Sun Shao had not only run away, but they had even fought, but Xiao Qiao still had not given birth to a child.

Even if there was an excuse that Zhou Yu didn't spend much time at home, after more than ten years, Xiao Qiao didn't give birth to any children, which was actually a very fatal thing in such a feudal society.

In fact, both Fa Zheng’s wife and Zhuge Liang’s wife faced this problem. After all, this era was not the future, and children were the important pillars supporting the family in the future.

Moreover, unlike ordinary families, wealthy families like the Zhou family really have mountains of gold and silver to inherit. After Zhou Yu's rise, there are even more things to inherit, so Xiao Qiao, who has no children, is widely criticized within the Zhou family.

This was also the reason why Xiao Qiao did not live in the Zhou family when Zhou Yu was not around for a period of time. As the mistress of the Zhou family, not living in the Zhou family was actually a big problem, but Xiao Qiao did not want to tell Zhou Yu about these things, and Zhou Yu also showed that there was indeed no problem between the two sides.

This is also the reason why Da Qiao moved in directly and cooked for Xiao Qiao, or at least asked the Sun family's cook to keep an eye on her to prevent any accidents. Because Xiao Qiao, the mistress, was very unstable at the time when Zhou Yu fell, the Zhou family had some doubts about the child Xiao Qiao was pregnant with at this time.

Da Qiao wanted to refute, but she had no way to refute. At this time, the Zhou family had lost its pillar, and there were still some outrageous operations. Da Qiao was also worried that this group of people would do something wrong and kill Xiao Qiao, which would be a real problem. So Da Qiao has been keeping an eye on this recently. After all, Xiao Qiao is her own sister, and Zhou Yu is also the pillar of Jiangdong. Now the real situation has not been determined yet, why are they making a fuss? Are they looking for death?

"I hope there is no trouble in the Zhou family." Da Qiao asked her guards.

"The commander-in-chief came and gave the Zhou family a warning, and the situation has improved a lot." The guard said cautiously. Before, some members of the Zhou family had tried to secretly tell Xiao Qiao that Zhou Yu was dead, but they were stopped by Da Qiao, who also sent many people to prison. This suppressed the turmoil within the Zhou family.

But the Zhou family is a large family after all. Even if it cannot compare with super wealthy families like the Yuan and Yang families, it is still a wealthy family among the top families. The main family, collateral branches, and branches together are very large. If the peripheral forces that have attached themselves to it are included, the Zhou family is the real wealthy family hidden in Jiangdong.

When there are too many people, their minds become complicated. To put it bluntly, Zhou Yu, the head of the family, can only hold the position because he is strong and has legitimacy. But without Zhou Yu, the head of the family, there are many people who want to sit in this position and are qualified to sit in this position.

In addition, Zhou Yu had no children. For Xiao Qiao, the mistress, if it weren't for Da Qiao's protection after Zhou Yu passed away, cannibalism within the clan would be no joke.

"Ah, since Gongjin is back, why didn't he come here?" Da Qiao raised her eyebrows and said with a bit of surprise. Now she was more and more certain that there was something wrong with Zhou Yu, but she couldn't say it. She was worried that they were in a certain situation now. It would be better for everyone if she didn't say anything and just watched.

"The governor said that there will be results within a few days. Let the princess take care of the lady for a few days." The guard said in a serious tone. Da Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. The gloom between her brows dissipated a lot. She was finally sure that she was not dead. No matter how much speculation there was before, without accurate information, Da Qiao still could not be sure. Now she is finally sure.

"Watch the kitchen and don't let anyone in. Anyone who dares to mess around will be arrested directly." Da Qiao adjusted her mentality and gave orders to her guards. Now that Zhou Yu is dead, no matter how much Da Qiao does, she can only save Xiao Qiao, and the life of the former mistress will not be easy no matter what. But if Zhou Yu is not dead, then someone will settle the accounts for all the current turmoil, and she, an outsider in the Zhou family, can be more radical in her behavior.

A big part of the reason why we couldn't be too radical before was because Da Qiao couldn't take care of Xiao Qiao forever. The only ones who could accompany Xiao Qiao to the end were Xiao Qiao's husband and Xiao Qiao's offspring. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were sisters, but after Da Qiao got married, there was only so much she could help.

Therefore, after Zhou Yu's death, if Da Qiao made too much trouble in the Zhou family for Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao would definitely suffer later, unless Da Qiao took Xiao Qiao away with her. However, in the general environment of that era, such behavior was not desirable. After all, Xiao Qiao was the mistress of the Zhou family. Theoretically, she would have to die in the Zhou family. After all, she was the mistress who was married to the head of the family in a formal ceremony and had three letters and six engagements. How could she be taken away by another family?

The Zhou family’s internal oppression is an internal matter, but they must be consistent in this matter toward the outside world, otherwise where would a wealthy family like the Zhou family put their face?

Therefore, when she was not sure whether Zhou Yu was still alive, what Da Qiao could do was to block the news from Xiao Qiao as much as possible, so that Xiao Qiao would not know the heartbreaking news, and to suppress the Zhou family as much as possible so that they would not be too happy. However, in this process, Da Qiao could not suppress the Zhou family too directly for Xiao Qiao, and she had to handle these things within a reasonable range.

After all, Da Qiao is not Xiao Qiao's umbrella. Even without Zhou Yu, the Zhou family is not a soft egg that can be bullied. It is true that they give Da Qiao face, but if Da Qiao goes too far, she will have to pay it back sooner or later. Da Qiao has no better way to deal with this, after all, she is not a member of the Zhou family.

But now, this Zhou Yu, whose truth is unknown, wrote to say that, be patient for a few days and everything will be clear. What's the point of talking about that? As long as Zhou Yu is alive, there's nothing for her to worry about. Even if she, Da Qiao, doesn't give face to other members of the Zhou family, it's to protect Zhou Yu and the mistress of the Zhou family. Then, when Zhou Yu comes back, it's clear who will cause trouble for whom.

On the other hand, the elders and young men of the Zhou family rallied around Zhou Jun, Zhou Yu's cousin. The Zhou family was not sure whether Zhou Yu was dead or not, but this time Zhou Yu came in person, and the Zhou family had some understanding - Zhou Yu might really be dead.

After all, they are family members who have lived together for so many years. Pang Tong's imitation of intelligence is indeed very realistic, but there are still some loopholes in certain life details. These loopholes may not seem like anything to a single person, but in the eyes of a group of family members, one person discovers one, and everyone puts them together. With a dozen loopholes, many things are confirmed.

"It's not my cousin." Zhou Jun said with a grim look, "Who dares to pretend to be my cousin? This is treason, damn it, this is treason!"

This is not an empty statement. Under the premise that Sun Ce is not in Jiangdong at present, Zhou Yu can make the final decision on all matters in Southeast Asia. To put it bluntly, if Zhou Yu wants to start a war now, no one else can stop him. Such a status is basically supreme in Jiangdong.

However, such a person was assassinated and then replaced. This was absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Jun and others. What's more, this was the foundation of their Zhou family's prosperity. He was a rare genius in their Zhou family in a century. He was Zhou Yu who led their Zhou family to the peak!
"The bloodline verification is real. We used a special magic circle before. If you are not the governor, you can't come in here." The butler Zhou Shu said solemnly. The faces of everyone present became extremely gloomy. Who the hell is this person who dares to do this.

"She was replaced." Zhou Jun said with a livid face, "The assassination was probably real, not an act. She was probably being manipulated when she walked out of the ice cellar. Damn it, she really has the guts to do such a despicable thing at this time!"

"What should we do?" The Zhou family members looked at the backup backbone and said.

"Let's lie in hiding first. We don't have any other options at the moment. The force we have is enough, but the one who stole the identity of the governor has more power. We don't have any better solution. The best option at the moment is to accept this deception and find a way to contact Lord Wu and let him make the decision. There is nothing we can do relying on ourselves." Zhou Jun said to the clansmen around him with a gloomy face. There was no good solution. This fake Zhou Yu was in power now and they had no way to deal with him.

"What about the mistress?" Zhou Shu asked tentatively.

"Don't worry about her for now. The Princess Wu is protecting her. We have to deal with the problem of the fake governor first." Zhou Jun waved his hand and said, not wanting to get entangled in this matter.

"The Princess Wu is right here!" Zhou Shu said gritting his teeth.

Zhou Jun was stunned, then looked at Zhou Shu. The others also looked gloomy. Was he going to get rid of them?
Slip away, the leader is back, sigh
