Chapter 128 Su Yu enlightens Mi Zhen, the mysterious first wife of Liu Bei!
Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, and Tao Ji did not deal with Cao Bao and Zhang Zhao, but waited for Cao Cao and Su Yu to arrive before making a decision.
This includes Chen Gui, who was a fence-sitter.
Honestly, even without the note he handed to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun would still have been wary of Cao Bao.
It's just that Chen Gui happened to go with the flow.
"By the way, where is Mi Zhu now?"
Tao Ji asked Chen Gui.
Chen Gui immediately perked up and whispered in Tao Ji's ear:
"That Mi Zhu is the most shameless thing ever!"
"Mi Zhu contributed the most military funds in Liu Bei's campaign against Zuo Rong of Xiapi."
"Ah, those who know him know that he was Liu Bei's subordinate."
"If you didn't know better, you'd probably think he was Liu Bei's biological father who would bleed money from the army!"
Chen Gui's resentment towards Mi Zhu was indeed considerable.
Is it great to be rich?
Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?
Zhao Yun and Xu Rong exchanged a glance and immediately ordered the search and confiscation of the Mi residence!
Why do this?
Very simple.
Chen Gui was at least someone who "repented and turned back," choosing to surrender halfway through his journey.
What exactly is Mi Zhu?
Those who aid the enemy!
If we don't raid the Mi residence, are we just waiting for the people there to tip off Mi Zhu?
……
Within the Mi Mansion
Mi Fang hurriedly packed her valuables, intending to take some of the valuables and escape through the tunnel as quickly as possible.
The eldest brother, Mi Zhu, followed Liu Bei on his expedition to Xiapi.
In the Mi family mansion in Pengcheng, only he and his younger sister Mi Zhen remained at home. (Madam Mi's real name is not recorded; all existing names are from online novels, the most widely circulated being Mi Zhen and Mi Huan. Mi Zhen will be used here.)
"Second brother, what happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Mi Zhen ran over from the backyard and stared at her second brother, Mi Fang.
"Little sister, you should pack your things too."
"Let's take advantage of Cao Bao's predicament being busy dealing with Cao's army and not having time to send people to monitor us, and leave Pengcheng as soon as possible!"
When Cao Bao drove Zhang Fei away, he naturally did not forget to deal with the Mi family.
after all.
Mi Zhu clearly stood on Liu Bei's side.
However, because he had to deal with Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, and Tao Ji, Cao Bao had to postpone dealing with the Mi family.
but.
He still sent a squad of soldiers to monitor the Mi family.
It was only after Zhao Yun and his men entered the city today that Cao Bao's troop of soldiers stationed at the Mi family's residence was urgently transferred away.
Otherwise, Mi Fang would never have had the opportunity to collect her valuables.
Before Mi Zhen could reply, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the Mi residence.
"Mi Fang, right?"
"Come with us!"
Without saying a word, the soldiers took Mi Fang away and searched the Mi residence.
Mi Zhen turned pale with fright.
However, being clever, she did not dare to provoke Cao Cao's army at this time, but instead actively cooperated with Cao Cao's army to search and confiscate the Mi family mansion.
A few days passed quickly.
Pengchengwai
Cao Cao and Su Yu rode Jueying and Zhaohuang Feidian, respectively.
Zhaohuang Feidian was a warhorse that Cao Cao had recently acquired, which he gave directly to Su Yu.
Suddenly, Cao Cao called Su Yu aside and excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"Ziyi, do you think Liu Bei's family members are good-looking?"
Seeing the undisguised traitorous spirit on Cao Cao's face, Su Yu pretended to analyze:
"It is said that Liu Bei had no interest in women and spent his days sleeping with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei."
"I reckon Liu Bei's wife is probably turning into a bitter, resentful woman!" (Not Lady Gan, don't worry, you'll understand in a moment.)
Hear this.
Cao Cao became even more enraged!
A complaining woman is good!
As a friend of widows, Cao Cao could help these women find peace and alleviate their suffering.
but.
Cao Cao did not forget Su Yu either.
He had already sent people to investigate.
Mi Zhu's younger sister, Mi Zhen, was a beautiful woman who was both sweet-looking and good at business.
This kind of girl is perfect for Su Yu to guide her in life philosophy.
With a heart full of excitement, Cao Cao went straight to the backyard of the governor's mansion after entering Pengcheng.
Among Liu Bei's family members was a thin woman who looked to be in her thirties and whose face was somewhat pale.
This woman was none other than Liu Bei's wife.
Many people believe that Liu Bei's first wife was Lady Gan, and his second wife was Lady Mi.
This idea is utter nonsense.
Why do you say that?
Because Lady Gan was a concubine, and remained a concubine throughout her life, never being Liu Bei's principal wife, this is well-documented. (She married Liu Bei around 194 AD.)
Lady Mi was Liu Bei's second wife.
In order to win over Liu Bei, Mi Zhu married his younger sister Mi Zhen to him as his principal wife.
Just like how Wang Yun married Wang Ruohua to Lü Bu.
Then comes the problem.
Who was Liu Bei's principal wife before Lady Mi?
It doesn't matter who this person is; what matters is that she didn't bear any children for Liu Bei and passed away a year or two before Liu Bei married Lady Mi.
At this moment, Cao Cao, who was a friend of the widow, saw a sickness in the woman.
This condition is very abnormal.
Firstly, it proves that the woman suffers from a psychological illness, such as lovesickness.
Secondly, this woman had not had sexual relations for a long time, and was like a parched land that had not received rain.
Cao Cao believed that the woman was a widow who had lost her husband.
But the problem is...
Liu Bei is still alive!
Could it be that Liu Bei was too busy to comfort this woman?
wrong!
Cao Cao suddenly remembered Su Yu's earlier reminder.
Liu Bei, that fellow, only shared a bed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei every day.
Damn... no wonder this woman looks so sickly!
She has a husband, but he sleeps with his brother every day.
This……
Who wouldn't break down in that situation?
Even Cao Cao, a friend of widows, felt sorry for the woman.
She has a husband, yet she lives like a widow every day.
If that's the case, it would be better if I didn't have a husband at all!
"You... who are you?"
Liu Bei's wife looked up at Cao Cao.
For some reason, she saw pity in Cao Cao's eyes.
"Madam, are you Liu Bei's wife?"
Cao Cao approached Liu Bei's wife and asked politely.
The woman nodded numbly and told Cao Cao that her name was Zhang.
Half an hour later.
The woman, who was originally terminally ill, gradually smiled after Cao Cao's encouragement.
Honestly, the most painful thing in Zhang's life was marrying Liu Bei.
Her father was originally the governor of Zhongshan State, but later died in the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. (187 AD)
Having lost her support, she was arranged to marry Liu Bei by her cousin Gongsun Zan.
I thought Liu Bei looked refined and gentle, and was a kind and honest person.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei only touched her once, on their wedding night.
For the rest of the days, he slept with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
This……
Zhang was truly devastated.
In public, she also had to pretend to be from a wealthy family and act like a proper wife.
But only she knows how difficult those countless dark nights were for her.
Other women's husbands are just there to accompany their wives.
At worst, he would be accompanied by a concubine.
But what about her husband?
What does it mean to sleep with your brother all day long?
until today.
When she met Cao Cao, it was as if she saw a ray of light in her life!
Cao Cao: From now on, please call me the Widow's Savior!
