Chapter 575: 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.

"These ignorant, cruel customs are just too much."

Outraged, Cai Wei said: "Nangong Yi, as soon as we conquer Lingbei, the first law we will enact will be to abolish the Daughter’s Rites. If anyone dares practice the Daughter’s Rites on a girl, we will cut off his private parts, let him taste the pain of being castrated..."

Her phrase ’as soon as we conquer Lingbei’ greatly pleased Nangong Yi. He gave a warm smile, "Good, we’ll do as Madam says!"

Though Nangong Yi placated her with his good temper, Cai Wei was still furious. She clenched her fist, her resentment clear: "Also, those parents who advocate their daughters undergoing the ’Daughter’s Rites,’ once discovered, should be treated as child abusers, all their property confiscated, and they be turned into homeless beggars..."

Because of her anger, her clear eyes danced with sparks of rage. Her delicate nostrils flared with each breath, and her soft, delicate lips were pursed as if to bite someone. Her porcelain-white, delicate face was filled with anger. Despite her anger, her expressive countenance and refined features were breathtakingly beautiful.

Nangong Yi silently admired her, feeling that every part of her perfectly matched his aesthetic standards, as if she was a gift from heaven, made especially for him!

Suddenly, he pressed down on her, unexpectedly kissing her lips.

Cai Wei was still furious, and his sudden kiss took her by surprise. As she tried to push him away, she mumbled unclearly, "Nangong Yi, you... uh... stop..."

Finally, her voice was drowned by the man’s passionate sucking....

Nangong Yi was kissing her so much she almost suffocated. In her two lifetimes, this was her first real kiss. She had wanted it to be a sweet and profound memory for the future, but unfortunately, the man’s kissing technique was really lacking, as clumsy as a boy who had never tasted meat. He only knew how to attack, with no idea of subtlety. Cai Wei didn’t know whether she should be grateful for this, or be upset.

Oh, he couldn’t even kiss. How pure could he be!

Nangong Yi had military matters to attend to and couldn’t stay away from the camp for long. He spent some more time doting on Cai Wei, then left.

Before leaving, Cai Wei cut the finished Beef sauce into chunks, wrapped them in oil paper, and picked a lot of cabbages in Space, telling him to take them back for the soldiers to eat if the provisions in the army were poor.

Nangong Yi took the items Cai Wei gave him, his heart filled with warmth. Suddenly he felt like a husband about to leave home, and she felt like a wife who had prepared a lot of packages to send him off. Even if there were no grand words, the simplest actions were the best expression of her true feelings.

"The army will rest tomorrow. We’ll cross the mountain to attack Lingbei the day after tomorrow. I probably won’t be able to come tomorrow, so you should stay here and I’ll come and see you when I get a chance..."

Nangong Yi whispered a few instructions, then, with Zhui Feng and Zhu Yue, he left reluctantly.

After Nangong Yi left, Cai Wei returned and wrote a family letter for Brother Parrot to deliver to her father.

In the blink of an eye, she had been away from the Capital for three days and her family still did not know the situation. She wondered if her grandmother’s eyes had gotten better? Was her mother’s pregnancy safe? Were the two children studying diligently? Was her shop being run smoothly now that she was not around?

She was concerned about all these matters, and right now she could not return home, so she could only assure her father through Brother Parrot’s delivery of the letter.

After Parrot left, Cai Wei went to the street alone, leaving the Dun Zhu sisters at the inn.

She planned to buy a manor here. Nangong Yi was about to start the war with the Meng slaves, and she needed a manor to store the supplies she was providing for Nangong Yi. Besides, with a manor, her own stay here would be much more convenient.

This time, when buying a manor, she didn’t look for a middleman like before. Instead, she bought a few gifts and went to the residence of the County Magistrate, Madam Cui.

The Qing County was different from the Capital. It was a border city, neighbouring Liaodan and the Meng Slaves, with relatively poor security. Cai Wei was worried about encountering con artists, so she asked Madam Cui for assistance, hoping to avoid possible tricks.

Upon arriving at the mansion of the County Magistrate, Cai Wei reported her name and asked the doorman to announce her visit.
