The Khan of Yue Nation abruptly halted his words, looking toward the kneeling maid, and commanded in a quiet voice, "Leave!"
The maid acknowledged with a "yes" and hurriedly dismounted from the carriage.
Only then did the Khan of Yue Nation look at Princess Jinyu, speaking in a lowered voice, "The reason your father struck you just now was to show the others, with the aim of protecting you, to prevent you from becoming entangled in Ji Chuchu's affairs."
Princess Jinyu continued to sob and wail, "But father, you struck your own child in front of so many people, how will I ever show my face again?"
The Khan of Yue Nation, with a stern face, said, "What's more important, face or life?"
The Khan of Yue Nation was usually amiable and had always shown a pleased face to Princess Jinyu, rarely ever being this stern.
Princess Jinyu was caught off guard.
