Chapter 255 Why Did You Only Come Now?
Gu Dongxing recalled what Cheng Jiuhe had said: "At the age of twenty-four, she was forced by her stepmother to marry a man named Sun Erliang, whose wife had died."
"That man suffered from intermittent mental illness. It was said that he had beaten his previous wife to death, but because he was mentally ill, he wasn't held responsible."
"If he didn't get married, his family would have to carry the burden of his condition, but with a wife, they could shift that burden onto her. Therefore, his family did everything to hide his illness and used Ye Qing's stepmother to force Ye Qing into marriage."
The Ye Qing he regarded as his own sister—just because she lacked the love of her father and her mother was gone, she was treated so cruelly!
Ye Qing felt a gaze on her. When she looked up, she saw a tall, strapping man staring at her, his eyes filled with pain, anger, pity, and more.
