Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

If the hard approach doesn't work, Duanmu Mingyue will try the softer one.

He knelt before Wei Yunwen, hugged his legs, and said:

"Please, spare my daughter, give them a way to live."

"Isn't that Brigade Commander Shen looking for women? Can you let me go instead? I'll take their place."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunwen sneered and kicked Duanmu Mingyue away.

He scoffed, "What the hell are you dreaming about?"

Damn it, don't they even know what kind of person they are?

You're already 32, you're practically an old lady, do you even deserve me?

Even if I soak jujubes in yin water, I still think you're too old.

You're just a withered flower, and you think I'd hand you over to Commander Shen?

Damn it, if we actually send it up, wouldn't that be disrespecting Commander Shen?

Are you sending me to my death?

You are a truly wicked woman.

Besides, I'm doing this for their own good. Qingyu and Qingrou are all grown up now, and they're going to get married anyway, so it doesn't matter who they marry.

After marrying Commander Shen, you'll live a life of luxury, and no one will dare to bully you.

I just don't understand, you woman are so damn stubborn, how come you can't see things clearly?

If I hadn't married you back then, you would have been defiled by some other man long ago, played with by me alone, and forced upon by countless other men.

What, you want to be listed on the "Yangcheng County Annals" as a chastity archway?

Without me, do you think the magistrate back then would have let you off the hook?

"What a joke! Your husband was a Boxer Rebellion member, so you're a traitor's family member. The only reason I haven't killed you is because I bribed him."

Duanmu Mingyue was in tears, and collapsed to the ground as if all her energy had been drained.

After Wei Yunwen finished speaking, he said coldly, "I'm not joking with you. Even with their gentle and soft-spoken manner, it would be a disaster for them to marry ordinary people. Sooner or later, they would be played by those in power."

Just then, the door opened, and two identical girls came out.

She resembled Duanmu Mingyue by about 70-80%. She was intelligent and beautiful, with fair and elastic skin, like a hard-boiled egg after peeling, the kind that would release water if you pinched it.

One woman's beautiful eyes were resolute, her face expressionless; the other's beautiful eyes flickered frequently, her face showing some fear, and she huddled half a body away from the woman in front.

It was Duanmu Mingyue's two daughters, Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu.

Duanmu Qingyu, on the left, said expressionlessly, "Mother, my sister and I are willing to marry that Brigade Commander Shen."

Seeing her daughter's resolute expression, Duanmu Mingyue burst into tears.

She lowered her head in shame, covered her face, and wept bitterly.

"Waaah~ Whisper, Gentle, I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you. I'm so sorry, it's all because I'm so incompetent."

Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu hurriedly helped Duanmu Mingyue up.

"Mother, it's not your fault."

"The problem lies with this world."

Wei Yunwen was very happy to see how sensible Duanmu Qingyu and Duanmu Qingrou were.

However, upon seeing the two women's graceful, curvaceous figures and flawless faces, Wei Yunwen's eyes turned green with envy, and he subconsciously swallowed hard.

The thought of giving it away to someone else makes my heart bleed.

Damn, I really can't bear to part with it.

Seeing Wei Yunwen's lewd appearance, the Duanmu sisters, Qingyu and Qingrou, turned their heads away in disgust.

Wei Yunwen said, "Well, you two get ready, I'll take you to see my cousin, Magistrate Wei Yunzhi."

Afterwards, they met with Brigade Commander Shen.

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu's faces darkened, knowing that this was their fate, one they could not escape.

Duanmu Mingyue took a deep breath and touched her two daughters' cheeks.

She felt incredibly guilty, feeling sorry for her deceased husband and that she herself had been unchaste.

Now that she can't even save her daughter, what's the point of living? It's making her contemplate suicide.

Suddenly, it crashed headfirst into a stone pillar next to it.

Immediately, blood flowed down his forehead.

This sudden scene stunned Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu. The two women hurriedly picked up Duanmu Mingyue, tears streaming down their faces, and said:

"Mother! You can't leave us."

Wei Yunwen's face was grim as he looked at Duanmu Mingyue, whose face was covered in blood, and cursed angrily, "Damn it, what bad luck! If you're going to die, why didn't you die sooner? Why are you trying to ruin me now? Do you believe I won't throw you out to feed the wild dogs?"

"How dare you!" Duanmu Qingyu stretched out her arms to block Duanmu Mingyue, her eyes filled with anger;

"What wouldn't I dare to do?" Wei Yunwen said dismissively, his eyes filled with contempt.

"If you dare to lay a finger on my mother, I'll have that Brigade Commander Shen wipe you out," Duanmu Qingyu said firmly, her eyes filled with hatred.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunwen really didn't dare to make a move.

"Why don't you find a doctor for my mother? If she dies, you can forget about us marrying that Brigade Commander Shen," Duanmu Qingyu said stubbornly.

"Damn it, an ungrateful wretch!" Wei Yunwen cursed as he left.

I regret it now; I should have slept with those twins sooner.

Now that my cousin Wei Yunzhi has specifically requested it, I really don't dare to waste it.

Soon, with the help of the doctor, Duanmu Mingyue woke up.

Seeing this, Duanmu Qingyu and Duanmu Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, please don't do anything foolish in the future."

"Don't scare us. We don't want to live anymore if you leave."

The two women hugged Duanmu Mingyue and wept, their tears like pear blossoms in the rain.

Duanmu Mingyue stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes lifeless, tears slowly falling from the corners of her eyes.

Wei Yunwen said, "Alright, your mother's fine now. You two hurry up and pack your things and come with me. Don't dawdle and waste time. If you keep Commander Shen waiting, you'll be in big trouble."

Duanmu Qingrou held onto Duanmu Mingyue tightly, refusing to let go.

"I don't want to leave my mother."

Seeing this, the elder sister, Duanmu, whispered, "If you want my sister and I to marry that Commander Shen, you must bring my mother along. I won't let her stay alone in the Wei residence."

Over the years, the two sisters, Duanmu Qingyu and Duanmu Qingrou, have suffered all kinds of contempt and bullying in the Wei family.

Her mother, Duanmu Mingyue, was subjected to all sorts of insults and abuse from Wei Yunwen's concubines and first wife, who called them a bunch of vixens.

The bullying I've experienced over the years is still fresh in my mind.

Therefore, Duanmu Qingyu feared that if her two sisters really married that Brigade Commander Shen, her mother, Duanmu Mingyue, would suffer and her life would be very difficult.

142. Check if she is a girl.

Wei Yunwen never imagined that one day he would be threatened by Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu.

It's totally off the mark.

It's like a cooked duck that's about to be eaten, but then not only flies away, it also slaps you in the face – it's infuriating!

But circumstances are beyond our control, so we have no choice but to endure it.

Wei Yunwen could clearly distinguish between the importance of his life and that of a woman.

In the end, Wei Yunwen could only compromise.

So, they hired another servant to carry Duanmu Mingyue.

They soon arrived at the county government office in Yangcheng.

When Wei Yunzhi saw that Wei Yunwen was carrying a woman with a white cloth tied around her head, he realized that Wei Yunwen was carrying a woman.

Someone who didn't know better might think they were going to a funeral.

Wei Yunzhi's face darkened. "Wei Yunwen, what are you doing? Why are you carrying around this sickly woman? Aren't you just making things difficult for me?"

Wei Yunwen also had his own unspeakable suffering.

So, I explained the whole story.

Wei Yunzhi's face was gloomy. This time, he sent a woman to please Shen Hao, not to cause trouble for him.

With a woman who's on the verge of dying all along, isn't that putting Shen Hao in a difficult position?

If a subordinate makes things difficult for their superior, how can you expect to have an easy time?

What a useless piece of trash! He can't even handle this little thing properly, and a woman can easily manipulate him.
