'Why would Xiao Jiuyuan protect Yun Qianyu?'
The bystanders couldn't figure it out. In fact, many of the ladies present today had wanted to marry Xiao Jiuyuan. Unfortunately, no one could win Xiao Jiuyuan's heart since he had always seemed to hate women and didn't like to be close to them. Later on, the emperor had appointed four fiancees to him but all of them were killed.
That was why no ladies dared to marry him.
Additionally, they all believed that Xiao Jiuyuan would not protect any woman. However, now he was defending Yun Qianyu, a woman whose face had been destroyed.
The people in the crowd didn't understand the situation, but they did not dare say anything about it.
After enduring twenty slaps to the face, Jiang Yudie's eyes were bloodshot with tears and her face was swollen to the point where she was unable to speak.
Filled with terror, Jiang Yudie thought, 'Xiao Jiuyuan is a terrible person. He is a demon!'
