After hearing those people claiming to be from Ryukyu Island, everyone believed Sun Ce's words a little more.
Sun Quan's lips trembled, he looked at Wu Guotai and murmured: "What on earth is going on?"
Wu Guotai was in great confusion and his face was pale. He looked at Sun Quan and just cried, biting his lips without saying a word.
Sun Ce said at the right time from a high place: "If you tell the truth about what happened back then, I will spare the death of your mother and son. You don't care about your own life, and you shouldn't implicate Zhong Mou. He is also an innocent person."
Wu Guotai trembled all over, stumbled forward and grabbed Sun Quan's arm, with tears in his eyes: "Quan'er, all this is for you!"
Seeing her speaking like this, which was tantamount to admitting the truth, Sun Quan was so shocked that he took two steps back and lost his voice: "I...I am really not my biological brother?"
Wu Guotai was traumatized and collapsed on the ground, just shaking his head. Sun Shangxiang had already retreated to Liu Qi's side. Several maids were even more surprised and did not dare to come forward to help him.
Everyone stared at Sun Quan and his son, as if they had expected this scene, but they couldn't believe it. Zhang Zhao and others looked solemn. They were not only shocked by Sun Quan's identity, but also worried about the safety of Jiangdong.
Once Sun Quan's identity is confirmed, there will be no owner in Jiangdong, and there will be turmoil. Sun Ce's son Sun Shao will have no prestige in Jiangdong. There are many children in the Sun family, who can turn the tide?
Lu Su stared closely at Sun Quan. He confided in Sun Quan and regarded him as a wise master. If he didn't know about it, it would be fine. If he was involved in it, it would be really chilling.
Zhang Zhao tugged at his beard and glanced at the indignant Liu Qi from time to time, wondering in his heart how much today's situation had to do with him.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the temple. Taishi Xiang held up Sun Quan's sword to scold the guards and strode into the temple.
He paused briefly and scanned the audience, strode up to Tai Shici, clasped his fists and said, "Father, everything has been found out and the evidence is conclusive."
Taishi Ci nodded to Sun Ce and ordered, "Bring them all in."
Tai Shixiang gave an order, and Pan Zhang, who was in charge of the escort, ordered someone to help. Soon he saw two boxes being carried in, and a life-size sculpture made of white jade, crystal clear under the firelight.
"You are so brave!" Wu Guotai shouted when he saw this, stood up from the ground suddenly, and rushed over screaming.
The two guards put the statue on the ground and hurriedly stepped back. Wu Guotai rushed forward and hugged the statue, as if he was crazy: "Don't touch him, and none of you are allowed to touch it."
When everyone looked at it, they saw that the statue was lifelike, with a wide mouth, a purple beard and a curly beard, and a green scarf on his head. He was grinning with half of his clothes open. From a distance, he looked majestic and heroic, with an unruly look between his eyebrows.
Sun Quan was shocked when he saw this statue. The appearance of this man was almost the same as his. The only difference was in their demeanor, one was gentle and elegant, the other was bold and rough.
The square was like a pot exploding. Everyone was whispering to each other and talking about it. At this time, no one could tell that this statue must be the father of Sun Quan and the real husband of Wu Guotai.
But Sun Jian knew that the matchmaker was marrying the Wu sisters. If the second wife had another crush, how could Sun Jian's temperament tolerate his mother and son?
"Tai Shi Ci, you despicable father and son!" Wu Guotai hugged the statue and cried: "You dare to break into the forbidden area of the Marquis Mansion, Zhong Mou, and execute him on the spot without giving an order?"
Sun Quan was still in extreme shock and had no time to care about others. He stepped forward and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
"You can't say it, even if you die!" Wu Guotai shook his head and said: "I will go down to accompany him right now, Zhong Quan, take care!"
"Slow down!" Sun Ce shouted loudly: "Second Madam, the matter has come to this. If you don't tell the truth, how can Zhongmou gain a foothold in Jiangdong? Don't forget that there are still many unjust souls who died in vain. If you don't repent, even if you want to die, you will not be able to survive." He will suffer the pain of hell, and it will be difficult to meet this person under the spring."
"Sun Ce, you, you are so cruel!" Wu Guotai glared at Sun Ce angrily, completely confused, and screamed: "It's all the fault of your Sun family. All this is your own fault..."
Sun Quan thought of what he had done before, and it was true that the second lady had taken good care of him. He stepped forward to support her, wiped his tears and comforted her: "It doesn't have to be like this. Just explain everything. If you and I are really mother and son, no matter what the consequences, I, Sun Zhongmou, will be together." We can bear it.”
Wu Guotai Zheng Ran looked at Sun Quan: "You won't blame me?"
Sun Quan nodded seriously and said: "Although the child is not as brave as his father and brother, he will never shrink back when encountering difficulties. If God's will is this, what should we fear?"
"You are worthy of being a man!" Wu Guotai's eyes turned red. He suddenly looked at the statue and laughed: "Although my son looks gentle on the outside, he actually has a strong character. He is really like him..."
Sun Quan asked anxiously: "Who is this?"
"He is a great hero, a great hero in the world!" Wu Guotai's eyes were red, but his eyes were much softer. He recalled the past and murmured: "When General Sun's sister got married to Ding, he sent troops to fight against thieves. Seeing that the wedding was approaching, the two of us went to the beach to pick up shellfish to make necklaces. We didn’t want a sudden high tide to sweep us into the sea..."
Although Liu Ji checked some of the past events of the Wu Guotai sisters, he only knew that after getting engaged to the eldest sister, Sun Jian returned from a meritorious service. Pirates attacked the Wu family, but Sun Jian repelled them. He also betrothed his second sister to Sun Jian. This incident caused a sensation in Wu County. It became a good talk for a while.
At this time, Liu Qi heard Wu Guotai talk about it and realized that there was such a bloody plot. The two sisters were trapped on an isolated island and were held hostage by a group of pirates and were escorted to Ryukyu Island.
In order to protect his sister's innocence, Wu Guotai pretended to deal with the leader of the pirates and promised to marry him with her own body, tricking him into escorting the two of them home to prove their marriage, otherwise he would die to prove his ambition.
The man believed it was true and sent the two of them ashore. The journey was bumpy and windy. The man had a bold personality, unlike other pirates who were fierce and violent. They fell in love with each other over time. The two ladies actually secretly fell in love, and in the end they faked it.
The Wu family was a powerful family in Wu County. At first, even Sun Jian looked down upon him, let alone a foreign pirate. At that time, he scolded Wu Guotai and locked him up in the woodshed. He expelled the pirate out of the country because he thought he could save his life.
Eight years later, the pirate came to Wu County again and sneaked into Wu's house several times to have trysts with the second lady. The two agreed to elope. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian returned just in time and ruined the good thing. The pirate was furious and gathered his old men to rob him.
These pirates often robbed fishermen along the coast, and the people all hated them. Although they had some skills, they were no match for Sun Jian. After a fierce battle, the entire army was wiped out. After hearing the news, the second wife was heartbroken and sought death.
Wu's father was helpless, so his sister went to persuade him. They were worried that they were pregnant, so they made an agreement with their sister that they would marry Sun Jian at the same time. If Sun Jian was really pregnant in the future, his sister would take his place. The sister thought of the grace of saving her life and had no choice but to agree.
Later, the second lady was indeed pregnant, so she lived in the backyard on the pretext of growing flowers and grass, not interacting with outsiders. The elder sister pretended to be pregnant at the same time. At this time, Sun Jian was ordered to take office in Xuzhou, and the two were in charge of everything in the family until Sun Quan's birth. Next, no one knows about this.
"That's it!" Sun Quan burst into tears upon hearing this.
At this time, he finally understood that the Tai Fu's last words, asking him to serve his second wife as his mother, were not just an instruction, but had a deeper meaning.
