The axe stopped only two millimeters away from Zhang's head. Zhang felt a chill on his head and his eyes went dark. He was really dizzy and had peed.

The smell of urine filled the air.

Father Xiao, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Zhong all looked as pale as paper, their bodies were soaked in cold sweat, and they were shivering constantly.

At this moment, they clearly felt that Ye Tang would really kill them.

Ye Tang still had a crazy smile on his face. He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Zhong, who had completely lost his nerve. "If you want a divorce, kneel down and beg me. If I'm happy, I won't chop you down!"

Her voice was nice, but the words she said were creepy.

Xiao Zhong looked at the crazy murderous intent in her eyes, as if he saw the Duke of Protectorate who was bloodthirsty on the battlefield, the great killer who pacified the war in Yunling Pass, and the iron-blooded old man who killed the Fuso bandits and made them kneel down and beg for mercy.

After he was captured and sent to exile, he joined the team led by the Duke of Protecting the Country. He saw with his own eyes that the Duke of Protecting the Country split the Fuso bandits in half with one sword and blew up the Fuso general's head with his bare hands. The murderous intent in his eyes was the same as Ye Tang's at this moment.

Just one glance was enough to make him feel the fear of death.

"I beg you." Xiao Zhong swallowed his saliva, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times: "I beg you to divorce me. I am shameless and despicable. I am not worthy of being your husband. I am not worthy of you."

He devalued himself to nothing.

Ye Tang looked at him with a smile: "Am I an unlucky person?"

"No, no, no, I am the unlucky one." Xiao Zhong crawled on the ground, not daring to look into her eyes at all.

Xiao Yi and Xiao's father closed their eyes, unable to bear to see Xiao Zhong's cowardly look.

He doesn't look like a man who just came back from the battlefield. Even the beggars begging on the street have more backbone than him.

But Ye Tang had gone mad, and they couldn't defeat him, so they had to bow their heads.

"Since I'm not an unlucky person, then we have no reason to divorce. Although you are unlucky, you have never done anything to let me down." Ye Tang suddenly emphasized: "As long as you don't keep other women outside, I won't despise you and will always cling to you, until the end of our lives..."

Ye Tang seemed to be smiling, but the murderous intent in his eyes was growing stronger.

Xiao Zhong felt the breath of death and begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I am not worthy of you. It is not worth you wasting your time on me."

He looked up and saw Ye Tang's increasingly cold eyes and the axe in her hand, and he said anxiously, "I betrayed you and kept another woman outside. Her name is Wang Chunxue, an orphan I picked up on the way back. She got pregnant with my child, and I couldn't bear to let her be my mistress, so I wanted to divorce you and marry her..."

Xiao's father and Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Zhong in surprise. They were obviously unaware of Wang Chunxue's existence. Xiao Zhong was very stupid to have not informed them in advance and came to provoke Ye Tang.

Xiao Zhong didn't care about his brother and father's reactions at all. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He originally wanted to divorce Ye Tang first, and then find a chance to tell his parents and brother about Wang Chunxue. But he never expected that Ye Tang would go crazy because of the divorce and be so good at fighting.

"I have committed a serious mistake and am not worthy of being your husband. Please divorce me and I will return all my dowry to you." Xiao Zhong kowtowed a few more times. He no longer cared about anything else. He just wanted to save his life. He didn't want to die.

"The dowry was originally mine, and you should return it to me, but how should I deal with the fact that you and your family have deceived me for more than a year and made me work like a slave for you?" Ye Tang's voice suddenly became violent: "If you don't compensate me for the humiliation I have suffered in the past year, none of you will live, all of you will die!!!"

"No, don't kill us, we will compensate you." Xiao Zhong shouted in fear, a grown man crying with tears and snot all over his face: "I have sixty taels of silver here, I will give it all to you."

Ye Tang didn't even ask him where the money came from, he just held out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Xiao Zhong crawled back to his room to find his bag, took out sixty taels of silver wrapped in sackcloth from it, and handed it to Ye Tang with trembling hands.

Ye Tang put away the silver, and before Xiao Zhong and the other two could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly looked at Xiao's father and Xiao Yi again: "Aren't you two going to compensate me?"

Xiao Yi and Father Xiao: "......"

Xiao Yi and his father took out all the private savings they had hidden, and also helped Zhang to find out her private savings, almost emptying out all the money in the family.

Together with Xiao Zhong's sixty taels of silver, the total amount was eighty-eight taels of silver.

Ye Tang was so angry that she laughed. After Xiao Zhong left, she became the pillar of the family. The two elders said frankly that all the money in the family had been used for the betrothal gift, and they could not afford a penny anymore. When the two elders were sick and needed medicine, she used the betrothal gift and dowry to buy medicine. When Xiao Yi needed to pay the rent, she used the betrothal gift and dowry to pay it. She used the betrothal gift and dowry for everything. The forty taels of silver could not be spent at all, and it was used up in less than a year. She could only find ways to earn money, and successfully made herself sick. At that time, she almost died of a high fever, but the two elders and Xiao Yi said that they could not afford a penny to hire a doctor.

But now he could gather twenty-eight taels of silver.

Ye Tang suppressed the urge to kill, and asked Xiao Yi to get paper and pen, and write the divorce letter according to what she said.

The divorce letter stated in detail that she had done nothing wrong and that everything was Xiao Zhong's fault. Xiao Zhong had another woman outside and wanted to divorce his wife and remarry. She magnanimously agreed to their marriage and asked for a divorce. In addition to returning her dowry, Xiao Zhong also gave her compensation, but the amount of the compensation was not stated.

After pressing his fingerprints, Ye Tang asked Xiao Zhong to take the freshly-issued divorce agreement to the government office to get it stamped with the official seal.

The marriage law of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that marriage, divorce and divorce all needed to be registered and stamped with the government, otherwise they would be considered invalid.

Xiao Zhong took the divorce papers and went out. A villager passing by Xiao Zhong's house was surprised to see him running out of the house.

"Am I seeing things? Is that Xiao Zhong? When did he come back?"

"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Zhong!" The villager, carrying a hoe, chased after Xiao Zhong: "When did you come back? Where are the others? Is my eldest brother still alive?"

At that time, the government required each household to send one able-bodied man to serve in the army. Everyone thought that those who were sent to serve in the army died, but Xiao Zhong came back with all his arms and legs intact. What about the others? He just wanted to ask, how are the others? Are they still alive? When will they return home?

Xiao Zhong heard the shouting behind him, and his mind was filled with Ye Tang's murderous eyes and axe. He didn't dare to have any other thoughts at all. He just wanted to quickly cut off his relationship with Ye Tang, and ran forward without looking back: "Wang Erhu, don't chase me. I have something urgent to do and I'll go out first. I'll tell you in detail when I come back."

He knew that his return would cause a commotion, so in order to avoid trouble, he deliberately covered his face with something when entering the village, and returned home in a low profile. He planned to divorce his wife first, and then talk to the villagers about what happened on the battlefield to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. He didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Xiao Zhong disappeared around the corner in a flash.

Wang Erhu didn't catch up, and stamped his feet anxiously: "What's the hurry for this bastard? He ran so fast and didn't even tell anyone when he came back."

"How did he come back? When did he come back? No, I must tell my parents about this right away." Wang Erhu carried the hoe and turned around and ran to the field.

When he met other villagers on the road, he told them: "Xiao Zhong is back alive!"

It's alive, not dead.

The villagers were extremely excited after hearing this. They put down their work in the fields and headed towards Xiao Zhong's house.
