Chapter 1520: Dominance (2)
Liu Amei eventually wrote the letter of divorce, severing her relationship with Xu Da completely. After Xu Da was paraded through the streets for three days, he was thrown into prison. Having been previously injured without receiving treatment, he lasted only two months in prison before dying. He was later wrapped in a mat by the prison guards and tossed onto Luanzang Hill, but that is a tale for another time.
However, the Crown Prince ordered a lavish funeral for Erya.
This action made everyone aware that the Crown Prince’s words were to be taken seriously, and those women who felt inferior after being taken back to their homes now walked a little taller. Those who initially dismissed it also put their sordid thoughts to rest, of course, that’s a story for another time.
Although the construction in Governor’s Office City was progressing rapidly, the issue remained with the women who had no family.
Yang Ruxin had originally proposed to the Crown Prince to arrange marriages between the single women in the area and the soldiers, to address the problem for both sides, but to her surprise, not a single soldier signed up. Such matters require mutual consent. If people are unwilling, even if the Crown Prince orders a forced marriage, it would likely lead to tragedy in the future.
Those women were still looked down upon from the bottom of people’s hearts.
In fact, as Gu Qingheng once said, it is much harder for those women to live than to die.
