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

She could tell that Shen Hao was deliberately going easy on her; he was clearly giving her money.

While everyone was drawing cards, Ye Zhen quietly stepped on Shen Hao's foot.

A slight pain in his foot startled Shen Hao, who instinctively looked at Ye Zhen.

Of the three women at the mahjong table, apart from Ye Zhen who liked to step on others, no one else was willing to step on him, much less dare to do so so openly.

Just then, Ye Zhen also looked at him, and their eyes met. Ye Zhen felt inexplicably flustered.

Her beautiful eyes blinked shyly.

His breathing became unsteady.

Shen Hao chuckled, also finding it incredibly exciting; this feeling was great.

Just then, Shen Hao suddenly clamped Ye Zhen's small feet between his legs.

Startled, Ye Zhen's hand trembled, and the cards in her hand fell onto the table.

Panicked, I hurriedly picked up the cards.

The eldest sister, Yuan Bozhen, and the fifth concubine immediately reached out to stop her.

Ye Zhen thought she had been caught in the trap, and the color drained from her face instantly. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she was too scared to speak.

Yuan Bozhen, the player to the next floor, smiled smugly:

"Sixth Aunt, this card is useless if it's exposed, that's the rule of the game. You can't cheat and go pick it up again. You can't bully the younger generation!"

“That’s right, it’s seen the light of day now that it’s fallen. Besides, you’ve already won so much, are you still going to cheat?” Fifth Concubine laughed.

Seeing the two women say this, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Shen Hao burst out laughing when he saw Ye Zhen's expression.

Especially with Ye Zhen's status, it's really great.

He couldn't resist taking off Ye Zhen's shoes, lifting her feet up, and placing them on his stool, so that they rested against Shen Hao's penis handle.

Immediately, feeling Shen Hao's warmth on her feet, her heart began to pound again.

A blush slowly crept onto her cheeks.

To cover her embarrassment, Ye Zhen smoothed her hair and said, "It was my fault, it's on me. Now it's the next player's turn to draw cards, Bozhen."

Yuan Bozhen laughed and said, "That's more like it."

After saying that, he drew a card, changed it, and played it.

"Six of Bamboo"

"I won (cdcd), five and seven sandwiched with six of bamboo, this six of bamboo, haha, well played, Bozhen!" Fifth Concubine flipped the tiles over and laughed.

Yuan Bozhen said, "Oh dear, I just broke up the pair of six of bamboo and then I won. What bad luck!"

Ignoring the strange sensation in her foot, Ye Zhen hurriedly said, "Fifth Sister is still the best! She won again!"

The fifth concubine, who had just won the game, was secretly delighted and said, "Haha, fortunes change, we can't let you and Bozhen win forever, can we?"

"Too"

"Let's continue."

While shuffling the cards with one hand, Shen Hao kept holding Ye Zhen's foot and rubbing it up and down.

As an experienced woman, Ye Zhen naturally knew what the heat and hardness from the soles of her feet meant.

I felt hot and weak all over, my palms were covered in sweat, and I didn't even have the strength to grab the cards.

Despite the fact that this act violated ethics, Ye Zhen was unable to refuse it and became addicted to it, much like she was addicted to drugs.

He even deliberately used his toes to pinch the handle.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Ye Zhen bit her thin lips tightly and clenched her fists.

Just as his soul ascended to heaven, a cheerful voice rang out.

"Haha, I heard the sound of mahjong tiles as soon as I walked in. That sound is really nice!"

Everyone looked over and saw Duan Zhigui, who had shaved his head completely bald, walking over with a smile.

The sudden arrival of Duan Zhigui startled Ye Zhen, leaving her feeling completely numb and filled with intense hatred for him.

He let out a long sigh, but dared not speak.

Duan Zhigui, the governor of Hubei, was naturally required to attend this meeting of governors.

Duan Zhigui entered, handed the gifts to the maids, and said with a smile, "Greetings, Fifth Madam, Sixth Madam."

Fifth Concubine rolled her eyes and nodded as a greeting.

Duan Zhigui was much older than them; he was old enough to be a father.

Calling them "mother" really made the two girls uncomfortable.

But there was nothing they could do; after all, Duan Zhigui was Yuan Shikai's godson.

Duan Zhigui put his arm around Shen Hao's shoulder and said, "Brother Shen, did you lose again?"

Shen Hao laughed and said, "Brother Duan, you know me best. You know my mahjong skills are far from good."

"Haha, how about letting my brother play? I can't control myself when I see mahjong," Duan Zhigui said, his hands itching.

“Of course, no problem,” Shen Hao smiled.

The moment he stood up, Shen Hao deliberately pressed the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of Ye Zhen's foot with his finger.

It is said that the kidney's energy originates from Yongquan (KI 1).

Shen Hao also understands traditional Chinese medicine, so his massage was very accurate.

The feeling of being cut off instantly surged into my heart.

Ye Zhen floated up into the clouds, her face turning even redder, like a boiled shrimp.

After a moment, Ye Zhen gave Shen Hao a resentful look, swallowed hard, and pretended that nothing had happened.

The three women were unwilling to accept that Shen Hao was substituted.

Just because they like fighting with Shen Hao doesn't mean they like fighting with other men.

It wasn't just that Shen Hao was giving money; the key was that they were also pleasing to the eye.

That girl doesn't like to dress up.

Besides, Shen Hao is very approachable and has a sweet tongue, so of course they like him.

Now a big bald guy comes up, and he keeps calling them "auntie," which gives them goosebumps.

However, they soon became happy.

As soon as Zhigui started playing, a false win occurred, causing one person to lose to three other players.

As a result, after a few more rounds of winning, Ye Zhen, Yuan Bozhen, and the Fifth Concubine all won, and they couldn't stop smiling.

Shen Hao, who was standing to the side, saw through the scheme. Duan Zhigui was indirectly trying to curry favor and give gifts.

With Duan Zhigui's mahjong skills, how could he possibly bluff and give away points? Such an experienced player would never give away points even if someone else wins by drawing the winning tile themselves.

After playing several rounds, Duan Zhigui only occasionally won a round, just for fun.

He lost four or five thousand dollars in an hour.

This amused all the women.

As it grew dark, Duan Zhigui could tell that the women didn't want to fight anymore.

So, pretending to be a sore loser, he simply pushed the cards down.

"I'm not playing anymore, my luck is just too bad today."

Yuan Bozhen won over two thousand and was overjoyed.

"Who told me I'm having such good luck today?"

The fifth and sixth concubines naturally knew that Duan Zhigui had deliberately lost, but they didn't point it out.

It is only right for a godson to show filial piety.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Hao and Duan Zhigui left Zhongnanhai together.

Sitting in Shen Hao's car, Duan Zhigui laughed and said, "Brother Shen, let's get together tonight. I need to talk to you about something."

Shen Hao glanced at his watch, shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. I still need to go to President Jin's house tonight; everything's already arranged."

"The leader of the Progressive Party, Jin Quanjia?" Shen Hao nodded;

"Hmph, he's the head of the education, justice, and industry and commerce departments. Going to visit him would be a waste of time. He can't control us. Go drink with the old man. If something really happens, that's fine." Duan Zhigui didn't take Jin Quan seriously at all.

Although Chin Chuan was not a member of the Kuomintang, he was indeed the leader of the Progressive Party.

Bai Xiongqi was also a member of the Progressive Party, but he later left the party following Yuan Shikai.

Due to the "Second Revolution," some Kuomintang members of parliament were arrested and killed, while others were won over, divided, and bought off, leading to the gradual disintegration of the National Assembly.

A cabinet composed of warlords, bureaucrats, and progressives was formed, and the progressives also submitted to Yuan Shikai.
