"A perfectly nice young woman, her face ruined, and now she's almost twenty and still not married! There are many similar stories."
Youqing was quite frightened after hearing this. "Wow, is it really that brutal?"
The robber continued, "I dare to let you go back and I'm not afraid you'll report me to the authorities. You can easily find out if what they've done is true just by asking around."
