Xie Xiran's eyes were red, and tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.

She bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let her tears escape, but she could only let the heartbreaking pain rage in her chest.

With trembling hands, she slowly handed the heavy jade slip to Wang Yuechan, as if she was handing over not only an object, but also a burden that she could not bear at the moment.

Wang Yuechan took the jade slip and felt an ominous premonition in her heart. Her hands trembled slightly and her eyes were filled with fear and curiosity about the unknown.

She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and then slowly opened the jade slip.

As her gaze moved, Wang Yuechan's face gradually turned pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and pain.

Those cruel scenes, vicious conversations, the wails of innocent victims... scene after scene replayed in her mind like a movie, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"This...how is this possible?"

Wang Yuechan's voice trembled, and her hands were tightly clenched around the jade slip, as if she wanted to crush it.

She looked up at Xie Xiran, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.

"Mother, this can't be true, right? Father wouldn't do such a thing..."

Xie Xiran did not answer, but just lowered her head silently, tears sliding down her face silently again.

Her heart was also struggling and in pain, but she knew that any words of comfort would be pale and powerless at this time.

Seeing this, the women around gathered together with mixed feelings and began to examine the jade slip.

Their eyes showed both a desire for the truth and fear of the facts that were about to be revealed.

When their eyes fell upon the contents on the jade slip, the text and visual records were like sharp blades, mercilessly cutting their hearts.

Those conversations, those faces, those scenes, replayed before their eyes one by one, as if bringing them back to those dark days.

They began to tremble, and the jade slips in their hands seemed to become extremely heavy.

They were unwilling to believe that the men they had lived with and even relied on could have committed such a heinous crime.

One woman finally couldn't bear the huge impact. She fell to her knees, clenched her fists, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.

Their cries infected each other like a tide, and every woman's heart was deeply touched at this moment.

A sad mood spread among them, as if even the air was filled with a heavy sense of depression.

The cries of those women whose families were secretly suppressed and broken up were filled with endless anger and unwillingness.

They were once so helpless, manipulated by power and conspiracy, and even kept in the darkest moments, forced to spend the rest of their lives with their enemies.

The pain and humiliation made their tears flow like a flood that could not be stopped.

As for the women who have been deceived and misunderstood by their lovers, their tears are more about regret and helplessness for their past.

They once gave their whole heart, but in return they got betrayal and deception, and eventually married the person they once hated.

This misplaced love and the fickleness of fate make them feel extremely desperate and confused.

There are also those women who have witnessed the evil with their own eyes and are deeply disgusted by it. Their tears are an accusation against the ugliness of human nature and a deep worry about the future.

They couldn't believe that such cruel acts were actually committed by human beings, and they were full of disappointment and confusion about the world.

They don't know how to move on or how to find their place in such an environment.

At this moment, all the anger, grief and despair turned into tears and flowed freely.

Li Zimo stood quietly by and watched these women burst into tears.

He knew very well that this was the pain they had to go through and that he could not replace them.

But he also understood that only in this way could they truly face the past, step out of the shadows, and find the direction of life again.

Li Zimo's eyes were gentle and firm. He understood that what he said was not only comfort, but also a promise for the future.

He quietly waited for the women to gradually regain some strength from their grief, and respected the inner struggles and choices of each of them.

When the women's eyes focused on him again, he felt the complex interweaving of emotions.

He understood the contradictions and entanglements in their hearts. After all, the gap between ideals and reality is a huge blow to everyone.

He did not rush to give an answer, but stood aside silently, giving them enough time and space to think.

The expressions of Yue Qinglian, Yue Qingyi and Wang Yuechan were still complicated, and the hatred in their hearts had not completely dissipated because of Li Zimo's words.

Their eyes were filled with tears as they stared at Li Zimo, their hearts filled with contradictions and struggles.

Struggling with whether or not to seek revenge, what is right and what is wrong?

Confused and at a loss.

Li Zimo could feel their inner struggles, and he whispered:

"I know the pain and conflict in your hearts. No matter what decision you make, I will respect and support you."

"Revenge may bring temporary satisfaction, but more importantly, we must find a way to prevent such tragedies from happening again."

His words were like a spring breeze that blew through the hearts of the three women, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

The hatred in Yue Qinglian, Yue Qingyi and Wang Yuechan's hearts was reduced a lot, and they began to think about more profound and meaningful issues.

Seeing that the girls were calming down, Li Zimo said gently:

"You all should go back to your rooms and have some sleep. Everything will be fine when you wake up."

"Yes, son."

The women stood up in response, their bodies swaying, their eyes filled with tears but their charm could not be concealed. They lightly swept the hem of their skirts, revealing their slender, white calves.

Several concubines shyly glanced at Li Zimo, then lowered their eyelids and retreated with blushing faces.

Xie Xiran hugged the sad Wang Yuechan and prepared to leave together. Wang Yuechan buried her head in Xie Xiran's arms, seeking a little comfort.

"Xiran, please stay and come upstairs with me for a chat."

Li Zimo's words made Xie Xiran look surprised.

Wang Yuechan became excited when she heard this:

"Li Zimo, forget it! My father may have made mistakes, but we will never forgive him easily. If you dare to disrespect my mother, I will not let you go!"

Li Zimo raised a gentle smile and said slowly:

"Yuechan, then just follow me."

As they spoke, the power of the contract quietly took effect. Although Wang Yuechan was unwilling, she could only answer obediently:

"Yes, sir. Yuechan obeys."

There was a hint of helplessness and fear in her words, and her body involuntarily moved towards Li Zimo.

Seeing this, Xie Xiran hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously:

"Master, let me serve you. Yuechan is still young and doesn't understand many things."
