"We all come from the same village, where we'll meet often after this. After causing such a scene, how can we continue to live together..."
She was telling Pei Jue that since there were so many villagers present tonight, it wouldn't be possible to kill them all.
If the punishment was too harsh, it would be difficult for her to live in the village or establish a presence there...
Pei Jue glanced at her indifferently.
In front of everyone, he said with a gentle voice, "How can I let someone insult you?"
Feng Yun shook her head and said, "The root of the problem is that people's homes are missing their stored grain. In these times of war and chaos, without grain, people can't survive. Everyone is anxious, which led to this misunderstanding."
The crowd showed expressions of regret.
"Yes, Great General, please spare us."
"We've lost our grain!"
