Jiang Nian reacted. She looked at Zhou Ci's surprised look and said, "So, your purpose of opening Huanyi Building is to help those girls who have been hurt by men?"
Zhou Ci nodded and admitted: "Yes, the girls who come here are not here to have fun, but to answer questions and make suggestions."
Jiang Nian couldn't believe that there was such a place in Nanyue.
She asked curiously: "Why do you want to do this kind of business?"
Zhou Ci picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then looked at the blue sky outside the window and said, "I just don't want the women in this world to be betrayed."
Jiang Nian asked tentatively: "Is it because of your mother?"
Zhou Ci clenched the hand holding the tea cup slightly, and then nodded: "Yes, my mother comes from a famous family and is a typical lady.
Marrying my father seemed to outsiders to be a perfect match and a perfect match.
But in fact, my father had someone he liked in his heart, but because of his humble background, he had no choice but to give up and choose my mother.
My mother didn't know about it at that time. She just thought that she had met her beloved and fantasized about a happy life in the future.
But after they got married, she discovered that her husband was cold and indifferent to her and treated her like a guest.
However, she was a lady raised by a noble family, and ethics, ethics, and the three obediences and four virtues were deeply ingrained in her heart.
Even if she is ignored by her husband, even if her life is not satisfactory, she still puts on a smile and keeps her house in order.
Until, she discovered that her husband had an extra room outside, and it was the woman he once loved."
Jiang Nian listened carefully. She looked at Zhou Ci's calm expression as if she was telling an insignificant story.
She asked: "What happened next?"
Zhou Ci put down the cup in his hand and said, "Unlike Beichen, Nanyue does not strictly prohibit concubinage.
After my mother found out about this, she cried all night, and then she went to my father to talk about it.
I plan to let my father take that woman in and make her his concubine."
He smiled bitterly: "Obviously she is extremely jealous, and even though she doesn't want to, she still works hard to be a virtuous wife."
Jiang Nian asked: "Where is that woman? Did she come in at the end?"
"No."
Zhou Cidao: "My father did not agree. He said that he had no personal relationship with that woman. He just felt sorry for him, so he wanted to make up for it."
Jiang Nian frowned: "Did your mother believe it?"
Zhou Ci leaned back on the chair, his face full of sarcasm: "How could you believe it? From then on, every time my father came home late, my mother would wonder if he had gone to see that woman again?
She gradually became suspicious. Every time after a fight with my father, she would always hug me and cry. Her mental state became worse and worse, and she even became a little crazy. Finally..."
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "In the end, she hung herself in the room. When she died, she was wearing the wedding dress she wore when she got married."
He was only ten years old that year, but he experienced the cruelest farewell in the world.
His mother's death became a memory in his childhood that could never be erased.
That bright red color was engraved in his heart.
Jiang Nian couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing what he said about his mother. She said, "So, you hope that women in this world will not repeat your mother's tragedy."
"yes."
Zhou Ci said: "I have thought more than once that if my mother put some thought into winning back my father's heart.
Or when she learned that her father didn't love him, she decided to break up with him, would she not have died?"
