history books.

very beautiful, so he forced the Hou Shu King's sister to be his concubine.
After leading the army back to the capital,
he hid the incident from his wife and secretly prepared a house for his
concubine to live in.
But a few months later, his wife found out.
His wife was very angry. After secretly
investigating the house where his concubine lived, his wife broke into the
house with a knife and more than a dozen maids.
After his wife entered the house, his wife
saw his concubine sitting in the room, and his concubine was combing her hair.
His concubine's skin is very white and her
hair is very black and smooth. His concubine is very beautiful and elegant.

concubine spoke to his wife in a gentle tone.
You are Huan Wen's wife, right? I believe

your hand?
Kill me as you wish. My country is
destroyed and my family is broken.
I feel that my life is meaningless.
After hearing his concubine's words, his
wife suddenly put down the knife in her hand.
said his wife to his concubine.
I have never seen a woman as beautiful and
elegant as you. When I see you, I want to pity you and love you.
I am a woman and I still think like that.
No wonder my husband secretly marries you
as his concubine, knowing that I will be angry.
His wife went to his concubine and took her
hand.

妳手上拿著這把刀是想殺了我嗎?
妳就照妳的心意殺了我吧。我國家被毀滅且我的家庭已破碎。
我感覺活得很沒有意思。
他的妻子聽完他的妾說的這些話後，他的妻子突然放下手中的刀。
他的妻子對他的妾說。
我這輩子從來沒有看過像妳這樣美而且那麼有優雅的女人，我看到妳我就覺得想要憐惜與疼愛妳。
我是一個女人我還會這樣想。
難怪我的丈夫會明知道我會生氣但是他還要偷偷娶妳做妾。
他的妻子走向他的妾並且牽起他的妾的手。
我決定原諒我們的丈夫了。
生命是美好的，你的國家雖然滅亡但是這世界上還有很多值得你去體驗的事物。
