What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 259 If You Don’t Want to Die, Live Well

"Where are those women who were kicked out of their homes now?" Ye Tang asked.

Tan Yun replied, "They were driven out of their homes and felt ashamed to face people. They lost the desire to live, and most of them committed suicide. Fortunately, the prince made arrangements early on and asked people to keep an eye on these women and deal with them in time. However, two of them jumped into the river and drowned when the officials were not paying attention."

No one wanted the bodies of the two dead people, and their families avoided them and didn't even bother to look at them. The government officials had no choice but to find a random place to bury them.

The rest of the rescued women were placed in a small courtyard, where they cried bitterly. If it weren’t for the officials guarding them, they would have continued to seek death.

Ye Tang took Tan Yun to visit them.

When I entered the door, I saw a woman crying and wanting to jump into a well, shouting, "I don't want to live anymore, I don't have the face to live anymore, please, let me die!"

Due to the difference between men and women, the officer had a hard time stopping the woman and was even scratched several times by the woman, leaving his face bruised.

There were many women watching around them, their expressions were numb and lifeless.

"Let her die!" Ye Tang said coldly.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Ye Tang strode over and looked at the woman sharply: "You can die if you want, but you can't die here. It will dirty this yard."

She pointed at the officers and said, "Also, before you die, you have to apologize to them. Look at how you scratched their faces. They are all rotten."

The woman was stunned and forgot to cry.

Everyone present looked at Ye Tang in shock.

"Who are you?" an officer asked.

Tan Yun stepped forward and said, "The one standing in front of you is Princess Pingshan, why don't you quickly pay your respects?"

Ye Tang was accompanied by two officials from the government office.

The two of them also hurried forward and told Ye Tang's identity.

The people in the yard were shocked and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Meet Princess Hirayama."

Only the woman who wanted to commit suicide stood there angrily. She looked at Ye Tang with a face full of anger: "Just because you are the princess, you can humiliate me?"

Tan Yun shouted angrily: "How dare you be so rude to the princess!"

Ye Tang raised her hand, and Tan Yun retreated behind her. Ye Tang looked at the disheveled woman in front of her and just found it funny: "When did this princess humiliate you? Isn't what this princess said the truth? My people risked their lives to rescue you, not to let you die here. You have survived so many hardships, you tried hard to escape from that hellhole, and lived in the sun again, and got a new life. Just because of your family's ruthless prejudice, you gave up your life. Is it worth it? Are you worthy of the benefactor who rescued you? Don't you want to see the person who hurt you being executed on the spot?"

The last sentence moved the woman, and the women present couldn't help but look at Ye Tang.

The woman who was seeking death asked with a choked voice: "Can those bandits really be brought to justice?"

"Yes! If I say yes, then I will definitely do it. I will capture them and let you see them being beheaded with your own eyes, okay?" Ye Tang's voice gradually became gentle: "I know you are in pain now, but there are still many beautiful things waiting for you in this world. You are in your youth and have a long life ahead of you. You can live the rest of your life in a different way."

The woman who wanted to commit suicide sneered, "Change your way of life? That's ridiculous! It's easier said than done! Princess Pingshan, do you know? The day I was taken to the mountain was my coming-of-age ceremony. My fiancé was ready to marry me, but that night, I was arrested. I lived in darkness for more than three months. When I returned home, I thought my parents would comfort me and asked my fiancé not to abandon me, but they all didn't want me. My parents and brothers regarded me as a disgrace and drove me out of the house. My fiancé thought I was dirty and broke off the engagement in public to humiliate me. Every word and every look from them made me feel like a knife cutting my heart."

As she spoke, she could no longer hold back and fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

She used to be a rich lady with fine clothes and delicious food, but now she has become a dirty slut in the eyes of her parents and fiancé.

Without her parents and her innocence, how will she get married in the future? How will she, a little woman, survive in the outside world?

Hearing her crying, the other women couldn't help but burst into tears.

The whimpering sounds lingered in Ye Tang's ears. Although it was very noisy, she did not disturb them and let them cry their hearts out.

I don't know how long it took, but the crying stopped.

The women looked up and saw Ye Tang was still there. She was sitting casually on a stool, looking at them with no sympathy in her eyes, only calmness.

Ye Tang asked, "Are you done crying?"

The women nodded in astonishment.

"Do you feel better now?"

The women nodded again.

After crying and venting my emotions, I felt much better and my determination to die was shaken a little.

Ye Tang smiled and said, "Now that you have finished crying and have calmed down, be quiet and listen to what this princess has to say!"

"Can you tell me why you want to die? Don't tell me that it's because you've lost your innocence, you feel unclean, and you don't dare to live in this world. If you really want to die because you've lost your innocence, then you would have died a long time ago in the mountain village, and why would you still be standing here looking for death. I think you want to live, as long as you want to live, I will help you. Now I want to hear your thoughts, tell me one by one slowly."

After Ye Tang finished speaking calmly, he asked all the women to get up, chose a room, and called them in one by one to talk.

There were a total of twenty-five women who escaped from the White Tiger Village. Two of them committed suicide, and seven were not kicked out by their families. Now there are sixteen of them here.

The sixteen people took turns entering the room and talked a lot to Ye Tang. When they came out of the room, their faces were obviously much better than before, and they looked a little more lively.

There are even women who whisper to others.

"Princess Pingshan looks fierce, but she is so kind when she speaks!"

"Princess Pingshan just fixed my hair."

"Princess Pingshan gave me some snacks as a reward. She said they were shredded potatoes and pork jerky. They were delicious. I have never eaten such special snacks before."

"I also got some snacks, oh, and strawberries, so sweet!"

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten the previous pain, and there was a little more smile on their faces when they talked.

After the last person left the room, Ye Tang picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

These sixteen women actually did not want to die. They had managed to escape alive, so how could they give up their lives so easily?

It was their relatives who forced them to die.

Ye Tang came out of the room, and everyone in the yard immediately quieted down. Ye Tang looked at the women and said word by word: "Since you all want to live, then this princess will help you and have someone send you to a place where no one knows you and start a new life."

After coming out of the courtyard, Ye Tang went straight to find Yun Zhen and asked him to take him to find Xiao Jingxuan.
