Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Ignoring Xuan Prince
‘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!’
Ignoring everyone else, Xiao Jiuyuan only looked at Yun Qianyu and asked calmly, “Tell me, what happened?”
Yun Qianyu said indifferently “Miss Jiang said that my second sister was wronged. Apparently, she is kind and innocent, but someone framed her. She alleges that it was me who framed my second sister.”
“Is there any evidence?”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s husky voice had a hint of anger and killing intent.
Not far away, Jiang Yudie again panicked and felt pressured. She was terrified and her body trembled greatly, ‘No, I am wrong, it was my fault!’
Unfortunately, no one heard Jiang Yudie’s prayer, since everyone’s attention was focused on Xiao Jiuyuan and Yun Qianyu.
From the start, Yun Qianyu had been indifferent toward the situation, so she just said slowly “What evidence do you think she could have? I didn’t do anything.”
Xiao Jiuyuan nodded slightly then said “Without even a speck of evidence, you dare to tarnish the name of the future Li princess consort? I guess you’ve lost your respect for this Prince.”
After Xiao Jiuyuan said that, Jieng Yudie quickly kneeled and pleaded, “Never, you Highness! I dare not disrespect you.”
Unfortunately, Xiao Jiuyuan did not care at all. Looking down at Jiang Yudie as if she was an ant, Xiao Jiuyuan ordered without hesitation “Men, bring this bit*h out and give her 30 paddle strokes. After that, send her back to the Jiang family and ask Lord Jiang if he is trying to provoke this Prince.”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Yudie immediately fainted.
Again, Bai Yao waved his hand and several men came in and carried Jiang Yudie out for punishment.
After Xiao Jiuyuan finished dealing with Jiang Yudie, he gave Yun Qianyu one last look before walking into the Xuantian Auction House wordlessly.
Crown prince Xiao Tianyu and the An Prince Xiao Yechen followed closely behind Xiao Jiuyuan. When Xiao Yechen passed by Yun Qianyu, he whispered “Feather, come on.”
Yun Qianyu nodded her head and led Little Bell and Hua Mei along.
The crowd behind them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the punishment that Jiang Yudie had endured, all the onlookers had pale faces.
At the same time, many people secretly speculated as to why Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t cancel his marriage with Yun Qianyu and had even taken measures to protect her.
‘What is really going on?’
None of them could understand the reason. Soon, the crowd also moved into the auction house.
Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, fell behind the crowd. He had an ugly expression on his face because from the beginning to the end, Yun Qianyu did not look at him.
For some reason, he really wanted to stop Yun Qianyu.
