Chapter 575: Reunion (5)_1
Cai Wei was sat on his lap, somewhat embarrassed, but considering they would have to do even more embarrassing things in the future, she didn’t resist, obediently sitting in his embrace, taking it as an early experience of their intimacy.
Seeing that Cai Wei didn’t resist, but instead blushed and nestled obediently in his arms like an obedient quiet rabbit, Nangong Yi’s heart softened to a mush. He couldn’t help but lightly touch her cheek.
"The so-called Daughter’s Rites mean cutting off parts of a girl’s body with a knife, then sewing them with thread. It’s very cruel, every year a number of girls die because of this..."
He was very vague in his account, not mentioning which part was to be cut, or how it was cut and stitched, seeming unwilling to have her know about these things.
However, without him saying, Cai Wei had already understood. The Daughter’s Rites he spoke of were a cruel ritual put upon unmarried girls in backward countries like Africa, India, etc., in her era. Everyone knew about it then.
Furthermore, the United Nations had issued laws declaring the cutting ritual to be illegal. It was disgusting to think that such a disgusting, ignorant custom still existed here. It was too abominable!
These cruel acts of harming women were strongly resisted and despised by Cai Wei. No wonder the Dun Zhu sisters would rather beg in Great Jin than return to the Meng slaves. If it were her, she would rather beg than return to such a barbarous, ignorant place.
