Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

As Yuan Shao's legal wife, she was able to give birth to Yuan Shang, a son who was highly praised by Yuan Shao for his handsome appearance. Even though she was nearly forty years old, Madam Liu still had a plump and graceful figure, and her appearance was even more beautiful than that of a fairy.

At this moment, Cao's army suddenly attacked the mansion in the middle of the night and drove the whole family together. Madam Liu was frightened and her face was slightly pale, but she had a beauty that made people feel pity for her even though she was pretending to be calm.

Mrs. Liu had naturally met Cao Cao, but in the past she looked down on this eunuch who was dependent on her husband and had never even glanced at Cao Cao.

At this moment, Madam Liu looked at Cao Cao, who was not very tall, with a pale face and spoke with a hint of caution.

"Why is Meng De here?"

"What do you think, sister-in-law?"

Cao Cao answered playfully.

This was undoubtedly a meaningless question. If someone else had asked this question, Cao Cao would have impatiently pushed the person out and executed him as a warning to others.

However, when these questions came from the mouth of such a plump and beautiful woman like Madam Liu, Cao Cao actually became somewhat interested and spoke in a more frivolous tone.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you guess what I, Cao Cao, want to do here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Liu's expression changed.

However, the swords of the Cao soldiers around them were pointed at the women and children left behind by Yuan Shao in Nanpi, so that the others had to bow their heads in silence even though they felt humiliated.

The situation is stronger than them and they cannot afford to show off their power.

Even though Mrs. Liu's face turned slightly red when she heard such frivolous words, she did not dare to get angry.

But at this moment, Yuan Shang, who was less than ten years old and was originally protected by Madam Liu behind her, couldn't help but jumped out and shouted.

"How dare you be rude to my mother!"

Cao Cao looked at the young but handsome Yuan Shang, his expression slightly moved, and said.

"Could this be Brother Benchu's most beloved third son, Yuan Shang?"

"Yes, my father is Yuan Benchu, the governor of Bingzhou."

Yuan Shang spoke with pride, but the panicked Madam Liu quickly covered her mouth and pulled him behind her, speaking in a more pleading tone.

"This is just an ignorant child. Please don't blame him for his rude behavior, Meng De."

"Besides, the saying that my husband loves his son the most is just a rumor. Otherwise, when my husband went to war, he would not have taken only Tan'er and Xi'er with him, leaving Yuan Shang alone at home to raise them."

Cao Cao said meaningfully. "I see."

But how could Madam Liu’s actions be hidden from Cao Cao’s eyes?

Moreover, Cao Cao was well aware that Yuan Shao doted on his third son, Yuan Shang, especially. So while he took Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi with him to the army, he could not bear to see Yuan Shang stay at home to experience the hardships of military service.

As Cao Cao took a step forward, Madam Liu almost subconsciously stepped back, shielding her chest with her hands. She could no longer maintain her apparent calmness and spoke in panic.

"What does Meng De want to do?"

Cao Cao paused slightly and said with a smile on his face.

"Don't panic, sister-in-law. Brother Cao and Benchu ​​are brothers, like close friends. How could they be rude to you?"

After a pause, Cao Cao's eyes swept across Madam Liu, and looked at Yuan Shang, who was pulled behind by Madam Liu, his eyes still unable to hide his arrogance, and said.

"It's just that I haven't seen my nephew Yuan Shang for many years, so I want to get closer to him." "No!"

Mrs. Liu almost blurted it out.

Yuan Shang was not only the most beloved son of Yuan Shao and Madam Liu, but Madam Liu also knew that this son was the guarantee of her status in the Yuan family.

If anything happened to Yuan Shang, even if Madam Liu could return to Yuan Shao's side, she would inevitably be angered by Yuan Shao and fall out of favor.

Madam Liu spoke through gritted teeth.

"What do you want, Meng De? Just tell me. Why make things difficult for a child?"

Cao Cao pretended to be in deep thought, and his slender eyes could not help but look up and down at Madam Liu's figure and appearance, which undoubtedly made Cao Cao's heart beat fast.

However, as important matters lay ahead, Cao Cao forced himself to suppress his restlessness, and did not dare to push Madam Liu too far. Instead, he bowed slightly and said.

"Sister-in-law, you are joking. How dare I make any rude requests? It's just that I haven't seen Brother Benchu ​​for many years. I missed him too much, so I specially came to Nanpi to meet him."

Even a woman like Madam Liu knew that this was impossible.

What kind of good friend would kick open the door and rush in with a knife when the owner is away?
However, Cao Cao did not care whether Madam Liu believed it or not. Now he was the one holding the knife. The entire Nanpi was completely under Cao Cao's control. The lives of the Yuan family depended on Cao Cao's thoughts.

Not to mention such polite words, even if Cao Cao asked Madam Liu to turn her back to him and then claimed to be Yuan Shao, Madam Liu would not dare to turn around and deny it.

Cao Cao could not hide his greed as he enjoyed the submissive and cautious look that appeared on Madam Liu's once proud face, and continued to speak.

"But what I can't help but feel deeply regretful is that Brother Benchu ​​is not in the city. So I would like to ask my sister-in-law to write a letter to express my sincere wishes and invite Brother Benchu ​​to come back to Nanpi to reminisce about the old times."

"can."

Mrs. Liu agreed almost without hesitation.

Cao Cao raised his hand slightly, and a soldier behind him brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared in advance to Madam Liu. Madam Liu picked up the pen and wrote a letter according to what Cao Cao said and handed it to Cao Cao.

"Is this satisfactory to Meng De? I wonder if we can ask these soldiers to retreat outside the mansion, so as to avoid scaring the women and children at home in the middle of the night."

Cao Cao took the letter and glanced through it. He did not rush to pay attention to Madam Liu. Instead, he turned his eyes and strode towards Yuan Shang.

"do not want!"

Madam Liu's face suddenly changed, and she started to shout, "Whatever Meng Deshang asks, I will do whatever he asks. Please don't hurt my son, don't hurt my son."

Until Cao Cao simply stepped forward and pulled off the jade pendant from Yuan Shang's waist, without taking any other action to hurt Yuan Shang. Only then did Mrs. Liu stop standing in fear.

Jade pendant is undoubtedly one of the tokens that can represent personal identity.

The jade pendant worn around Yuan Shang's waist is a rare piece of fine jade, priceless.

Cao Cao was quite satisfied with this. With Madam Liu's handwritten letter and Yuan Shang's jade pendant, Yuan Shao had no choice but to believe some things.

Then, Cao Cao looked at Madam Liu, who was barely able to stand by holding on to the stone table. Her adorable appearance made Cao Cao's heart warm. While trying hard to control himself, he said.

"It's late at night. I won't bother you tonight. I'll come back another day to care for you."

Immediately, Cao Cao took the letter and jade pendant and left the mansion. All the soldiers also left Yuan's mansion and chose to surround the mansion and put Yuan Shao's family under house arrest. (End of this chapter)
