Chapter 609: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (Extra 2)

It was a few days after Xie left that Wu Wenyue discovered that three people were missing from her home.

And the missing people happened to be He Yurong, the fourth concubine married by Cao Ce, her youngest son, and Cao Guodong, the eldest grandson born to Cao Shixun's concubine Cui Qiao.

"Where did they go?" Wu Wenyue had been with Cao Ce for so many years and knew her husband quite well. "You sent them away to seek refuge, right?

Cao Ce, you have such a cruel heart! I have been with you for so many years, and you didn't even discuss the matter of giving someone away with me! "

"What if I told you?" Cao Ce raised his eyebrows and said, "You are my official wife. If you run away, will my men still have the heart to fight?"

"So I deserve to wait for death with you?" Wu Wenyue said in disbelief, "No, you should surrender quickly. The GZ Army said that as long as you surrender, you can continue to be the commander-in-chief."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ce's originally calm eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said word by word: "I would rather die than be a traitor."

"Then die!" Wu Wenyue suddenly jumped up, picked up the pistol hidden on her body and fired several shots at Cao Ce.

Her eyes were bloodshot and there was madness in her eyes as she looked at Cao Ce.

In fact, Wu Wenyue already knew all these things before she questioned Cao Ce in the study, and she was going to use the gun to threaten the other party.

But when Cao Ce admitted his intention, anger clouded Wu Wenyue's mind, and she raised her gun and started shooting without even thinking.

No one would have expected that Cao Ce, who considered himself a great hero, would be shot and killed in his study by his wife Wu Wenyue without any preparation.

As the gunshots rang out, the sound of running footsteps was heard outside the door.

Seeing her husband die with his eyes open, Wu Wenyue's first reaction was to hide the gun in the drawer of the desk, then quickly open the window, and then her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

The door was almost opened instantly. When Cao Ce's adjutant rushed in, he saw the "dead" commander and his "frightened" wife.

"What's going on?" The adjutant looked incredulous. How could Cao Ce, who was fine before, become dead in the blink of an eye?

Wu Wenyue "trembled" and stretched out her right hand, pointing at the window. Her lips twitched, but she couldn't "squeeze out" a word for a long time.

"Madam, did someone try to assassinate the Marshal?" The adjutant guessed based on her behavior, "Did the person escape through the window?"

When Wu Wenyue heard the adjutant's conclusion, she nodded, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

When she woke up, she was already in the hospital, and the person with her was her son's concubine Cuiqiao.

I learned from the other party that my son Cao Shixun has come out of the room and has taken full control of the army. As for my husband Cao Ce's funeral, it will be held tomorrow.

At the same time, the entire city of Haishi was under martial law, and the person who assassinated Cao Ce was being hunted down.

Wu Wenyue did not attend Cao Ce's funeral because she was "sick", and Cao Shixun came to the hospital to see her three days later because he was too busy.

"Mom, what happened that day?" Although Cao Shixun was not at the scene, based on his understanding of his mother, he certainly knew that Wu Wenyue was not a woman who would be frightened.

Seeing that she could no longer hide the secret from her son, Wu Wenyue stopped hiding it and told him everything that happened that day.

When Cao Shixun heard that his father Cao Ce was killed by his mother, he felt like he was about to collapse.

"Why are you looking at me like that? He was the one who wronged me first!" Wu Wenyue defended herself, "And I helped you remove the huge mountain that was weighing on your head. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

"But that's my father!" Cao Shixun found it somewhat difficult to accept. "Even though he has been suppressing me all these years, if it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't be able to defend Haicheng."

"If you can't hold it, just surrender. It's no big deal." Wu Wenyue seemed to have thought of a countermeasure long ago. "Don't fire this shot, just let them in. Isn't it normal to change dynasties? In the early years, your grandfather was a general of the Qing Dynasty!

Later, your father also led his people and became the commander-in-chief of the Republic of China. What does it matter? "

"That's different!" Cao Shixun explained, "Haven't you heard about what kind of people the GZ Army is? Surrendering to them! That would be courting your own destruction, and you would be infamous for eternity."

"You will be infamous for eternity, that's what happens after you die." Wu Wenyue disagreed, "When you're alive, you'll still be a great commander."

After hearing this, Cao Shixun began to calm down, and it seemed that his opposition was not as strong as before.

In the following days, Wu Wenyue and several women around Cao Shixun took turns to attack him, and finally he wavered.

When the GZ army sent people to negotiate with him, Cao Shixun promised his army to give up resistance and open the city gates to welcome them into the city.

When the people in his troops heard the order, some of them raised objections, but they were ruthlessly shot dead by Cao Shixun who had been prepared.

The moment the GZ army entered the city, Cao Shixun officially became a traitor despised by everyone.
