Reincarnation in the Three Kingdoms Era with a System

Chapter 645 645: 645 Rape of Zhao Yun's Mother

Some things are like this: you know the other person has ill intentions, but you can't change them.

Li Cui clearly knew Lu Ming's intentions, but she had no good solutions.

Firstly, she was a widow and needed to remarry.

Eastern Han law stipulated that widows could remarry, but only within three years.

Western Han law required widows to remarry within two years, otherwise they would be fined.

However, this law had little binding force on powerful and influential families, but it did apply to ordinary people.

Lu Ming chatted for a while longer before leaving, not showing any signs of urgency.

He wanted to win them over and then cultivate a relationship with Zhao Yun, not deliberately want to have sex with them.

After Lu Ming left, Zhao Ying looked at her daughter-in-law and said with mixed feelings, "If you're willing, then go with the governor."

"Mother-in-law, what are you saying!"

Li Cui gritted her teeth. She wasn't the kind of woman who would fawn over the powerful, and she didn't want to demean herself.

The two remained silent, only sighing.

Zhao Ying understood perfectly well that her daughter-in-law was a widow; she couldn't force her to stay, as she had no children and no chance of remaining.

Rather than trying to force her into a corner and create unnecessary trouble, it was better to be generous from the start.

The next day, Zhao Yun came somewhat ashamed to report, "Reporting to my lord, no villagers are willing to leave."

"It's alright. We're just fulfilling our duty. They belong to Changshan County; the government will naturally handle their affairs."

"Go. Do your duty. Lead the way as the vanguard. Set off for Hejian."

Lu Ming was naturally pleased that they hadn't come. It was just a polite gesture; his only targets were Zhao Yun's sister-in-law and mother. Whether the others came or not was irrelevant; they were merely there to assist.

The journey continued on the bumpy road, this time with the addition of two women.

The place where Emperor Ling needed to pray was the burial site of his father. As Emperor Ling's son-in-law, it was only natural for Lu Ming to go and offer incense and prayers at his father's tomb.

This place was near Zhongshan County and also close to the Taihang Mountains.

A day later, they arrived in Hejian and set up camp.

Lu Ming then hired a folk witch to perform a ritual. He lit three sticks of incense and bowed before Emperor Ling's father's grave: "Old ghost, rest in peace down there. Your wife is Empress Dowager Dong now. I got her pregnant. She's carrying a pearl. I'll take good care of her for you, making sure she gives birth to a baby every two years, like a meat-eating machine!"

Boom!!!

A strong wind seemed to rise in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, looking particularly ferocious.

Lu Ming, however, wore a lewd smile, showing no fear.

The tombstone of the Marquis of Jiedu, the father of Emperor Ling, was cracked in many places, seemingly bursting with rage and helplessness!

The lightning stopped striking, but the wind continued to howl.

Lu Ming ordered everyone to take shelter from the rain; it was about to rain, and they could collect rainwater to replenish their water supply.

Rainwater in ancient times was drinkable because there was no industrial pollution. After collecting it, it could be boiled and consumed.

Boiling it would be safer, but not boiling it was also fine.

The military camp was set up on the hillside, and an open channel was dug using shovels and stones for drainage.

Tents were also set up, and the food supplies were stored away; these tasks would be handled by the subordinates.

People could be wiped clean after getting wet, but food was useless if it got wet.

Lu Ming went to Li Cui's tent to ask if they needed anything.

Only Zhao Ying remained in the tent. She learned that Li Cui had gone to her own tent next door to chat with her three concubines.

These were the only women in the military camp, and they saw each other all the time. Given the personalities and status of Madam Yan and Madam Du, they would never come to visit. Therefore, only Li Cui and Zhao Ying went.

Zhao Ying had just returned; Li Cui was still there. Li Cui was naturally outgoing, strong, and independent, so she chatted very well with Madam Yan and the others.

Zhao Ying had returned to collect the laundry. They had no maids, so some things had to be done by themselves.

Li Cui had originally intended to return as well, but she was persuaded to stay. It was rare to have someone to chat with, so she naturally stayed a little longer; otherwise, it would be boring.

Boom!

At this moment, a torrential downpour began outside.

Lu Ming had no choice but to stay in the tent, even helping to weigh down the sides with stones to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind.

Turning to Zhao Ying, who was shivering slightly, he noticed she wasn't wearing many clothes. He took off some himself. "Why don't you get into bed and warm up? If you catch a cold, it'll be hard to recover."

Zhao Ying shook her head. Although she was older, she wasn't shameless enough to sleep with another man in front of her.

Even though it was just to get into bed and cover herself with the blankets, not anything more, she still refused. "Thank you, sir, it's alright, I'm not cold."

"Go ahead, if you catch a cold, Zilong will be worried sick. Zilong is quite good, has the talent of a general, but he still needs more experience."

As Lu Ming spoke, he sized up Zhao Ying.

Her black hair was adorned with a few white curls. Her face was delicate, and a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes indicated she was no longer young. Her figure was neither too thin nor too plump, just right, and the more you looked at her, the more attractive she became.

Boom!

The sky rumbled with thunder again. Lu Ming suddenly grinned lewdly, swept Zhao Ying up in his arms, removed her shoes, threw her onto the bed, and then pressed himself against her.

"No, sir, no!" Zhao Ying cried out in alarm. Was he going to rape her?

"Be good, let me have my way with you once. You don't want Zilong to be punished because of you, do you? He's just been appreciated by me. If you don't know what's good for you, he'll suffer!" Lu Ming leered.

Zhao Ying was stunned, completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Lu Ming to use such a method to threaten her!

Maternal love is great, but it can also be exploited.

So when Lu Ming finished speaking, Zhao Ying stopped resisting, because resistance was pointless.

She was an older woman; she had nothing left to lose. If exchanging her remaining youth for Lu Ming's favor in raising her son, she thought it was worth it.

When Lu Ming undressed her, she even cooperated willingly, appearing very compliant.

Watching the woman beneath him tremble, Lu Ming pulled her into his arms, covered her with the blanket, and began to caress her, kiss her, and play with her private parts.
