Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ye Jintang continued to ask, "What about Ke Wenhai? How is he? The prince deliberately didn't chop off his head in public. He said that he would let him go to the mine to dig iron ore for a few days before killing him."

"Ke Wenhai is even more useless. He was so scared when he saw Hua Cailiang being beheaded that he wet his pants. He died on the way to the mine before he was even sent there. I heard that he bit his tongue to commit suicide, but he didn't bite his tongue earlier or later, but on the way to the mine. It's really suspicious."

Ye Jintang just smiled and said nothing. This must be Xiao Mo's work again. After all, Ke Wenhai was Concubine Ke's biological father. It would be difficult for him to explain if his death was too ugly. Even Concubine Ke could not find any fault with this kind of death.

In just one morning, the Hua family and the Ke family were completely eliminated from Ningchuan City. Xiao Mo was busy until noon, when he came back to have lunch with Ye Jintang and left in a hurry again. There must be a lot of things waiting for him in Ningchuan City in the next few days. Not to mention other things, how to place his 10,000 private soldiers is a big problem.

After lunch, Liuli came to report to Ye Jintang about the resettlement of more than 100 girls in the village.

"My lady, the steward Qiao has already arranged a place for them to live. Although it's a bit crowded, it's much better than the farm. I had people make new winter clothes for them and bought some more bedding. They will definitely not suffer this winter."

"That's great. When you examined their bodies, Liuli, you found that many of them were pregnant in the early stages of pregnancy."

"A total of 26 girls were 1 to 4 months pregnant."

"Then you should arrange it as soon as possible and let them take the Luozi Decoction as soon as possible. Let these children who should not have come into the world go back. I hope they can choose a mother who can give them a safe birth."

Ye Jintang made this decision for the good of those girls.

The baby in their bellies was not what they wanted in the first place. If they were forced to give birth to it, it would not only be mentally tormented but also physically harmful.

"I will go prepare the soup for the baby right away. I will also take care of their diet and daily life afterwards, so that they can take good care of their bodies after the baby is born."

Liuli had been caught in the rain herself, and she hoped that she could hold an umbrella for them so that they would suffer less.

"Well, those who are recuperating, those who are pregnant, and those who just had children, do they all live separately?"

"They all live separately."

"That's good. Send some more maids and servants to take care of them. They have gone through so much hardship, and some of them might commit suicide."

Liuli sighed. They could rescue them from the fire pit, but whether they could survive depended on themselves.

"Many of the girls we rescued were probably abducted by kidnappers. Have you asked them?"

"When I brought them back this morning, I asked them one by one. None of the older girls told me about their family situations, but a few younger girls did. Two of them are from Ningchuan City. I have sent people to help find their families."

Hearing Liuli say this, Ye Jintang felt very uncomfortable. The reason why those little girls dared to reveal their family background was because they were young and thought that their parents would want to take them back after they were away for a while.

The older girls knew very well that they had been lost for such a long time and had lost their innocence. Even if they returned to their parents, they would probably not survive.

All kinds of rumors alone can drive them to death.

Instead of this, it is better to stay outside, maybe there is still a way out.

This damn feudal society is too harsh on women. The only thing Ye Jintang can do at this moment is to provide these women with a place to shelter from the wind and rain so that they can live in peace.

Ye Jintang specially sent people to take care of the rescued women, for fear that they would become obsessed with suicide. However, despite all the precautions, six girls still died one after another, and one of them was even three months pregnant.

How can we not feel sad when we see them leaving the world in such a tragic way?

Ye Jintang was not in a good mood for several days.

The busy Xiao Mo soon discovered that something was wrong with her.

"Jintang, are you still sad for those girls who died?"

In the bedroom, Ye Jintang had just finished a nap and looked a bit listless.

"How can I not be sad? Those were all living lives. There were obviously several girls from Ningchuan City, but their parents didn't recognize them. How could their parents be so cruel? One of the girls jumped into the well right in front of her parents when she saw that her parents didn't recognize her."

If Liuli hadn't followed her, if Liuli hadn't carried the spring water with her, the little girl would probably have died.

"Don't be sad. When they recover, they can work in your workshop. They will get paid every month and won't have to support a family. They can spend all the money they earn on themselves. There's nothing wrong with living like this."

Xiao Mo walked forward and gently hugged Ye Jintang, comforting her in a soft voice.

"You can also teach these girls to read and write, and give them a skill. I believe that even if they don't get married and don't have their parents to take care of them, their lives won't be too bad."

"How could I have forgotten this? They are all seriously traumatized now. I want to give them hope so that they can have hope of survival."

Ye Jintang immediately recovered and cheered up.

She has been affected by a lot of negative emotions these days and she doesn't feel very energetic. She needs to get rid of these damn negative emotions as soon as possible.

She immediately asked Aunt Zhang to invite a few female teachers to teach the girls to read and tell them some inspirational stories about women, so as to help them come out of the haze.

"What has your Highness been busy with these days? Have you arranged for your private soldiers?"

"They have all been settled. The former city guards and my private soldiers have all been merged together. Now there are more than 3 city guards alone."

"With so many people, you won't house them all in the city, will you?"

"Of course not. The original farms outside the city are still habitable. Ten thousand people live in the farms, and another ten thousand live in the houses of the former city defense army. It's a little crowded, but there's nothing we can do about it. We can't build houses in the middle of winter, so we can only make do."

"The remaining one thousand people will be placed in the City Lord's Mansion."

Ye Jintang was dumbfounded. Isn't it a bit too extravagant to have a guard team of a thousand people in the City Lord's Mansion?

"In the future, the City Lord's Mansion will be changed into the Prince's Mansion. With only the two of us as masters, two courtyards will be enough for us to live in. We can't leave all the remaining courtyards idle forever, so I have already arranged for all my guards to stay there."

"Your Majesty, don't you have too many guards? I remember that you only have a few hundred personal guards."

"Military funds have been sufficient recently, so this is just an expansion."

The guy just doubled the number of guards. It turns out that things are different when you have money.
