Fate's Little Feral Consort

The person leading the group was Xiao Jiuyuan, dressed in a cross-collar garment made from a dark purple gold-threaded brocade with dark flowers and cloud patterns. He was also wearing a black cloak with dragon embroidery. His whole person exuded a domineering aura that demanded respect. Even though he had kept his spirit energy to the lowest, people still felt his presence.

Behind him were several equally extraordinary people. One of them, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was the crown prince Xiao Tianyu.

The other one was Xiao Yechen. As for the other people following behind them, they were also the aristocratic sons of other powerful families in the Dongli state.

As soon as they appeared, all the noble ladies there focused their attention on them and started thinking of how to attract their attention.

As for the person who had asked the question, it was the crown prince Xiao Tianyu.

After waiting for some time and seeing that no one was answering him, Xiao Tianyu asked again, "What happened?"

Roused by Xiao Tianyu's stern voice, someone in the crowd finally started to walk over to report what had happened.

However, before that could happen, Jiang Yudie, the daughter of the chief magistrate, rushed out and knelt down in front of him.

"Your Highness, this humble subject pleads for your judgment. The eldest young lady of the Yun family has bullied me and caused me to suffer severe injuries. She allowed her subordinates to hit me and almost killed me. If it had not been for the second young lady of the Yun family, I would have died."

As she spoke, Jiang Yudie even sobbed and looked very pitiful. Based on the bruises on her body, it seemed as though what she had said was true.

Xiao Tianyu looked at Jiang Yudie, then at Yun Qianyu. Knowing that this may become another troublesome issue, Xiao Tianyu turned to Xiao Jiuyuan and asked calmly, "Ninth imperial uncle, what do you think?"

Xiao Jiuyuan's black pupils were even darker than a moonless night. He walked over to Yun Qianyu and said in a flat voice, "You're a real troublemaker, aren't you? Causing trouble wherever you go."

Unaffected by his words, Yun Qianyu replied "I'm not causing trouble, trouble just comes looking for me."

Xiao Jiuyuan got a little annoyed at her answer and stared down at Yun Qianyu coldly.

Many of the onlookers did not dare to look at Xiao Jiuyuan. However, when they saw how Yun Qianyu faced Xiao Jiuyuan fearlessly, they all couldn't help but be impressed, 'Yun Qianyu sure is a brave woman.'

Xiao Jiuyuan then asked impatiently "What really happened here?"

Before Yun Qianyu could speak, Jiang Yudie began her sob story again, "Your Highness Li Prince, please bring justice. Yun Qianyu has allowed her subordinate to hit me. Please, your Highness must punish her."

As soon as he heard that, Xiao Jiuyuan became even more annoyed and started exuding a great killing intent from his eyes. The onlookers became scared and were all panicking, 'Jiang Yudie, why the hell did you annoy Li Prince!'

Xiao Jiuyuan turned to Jiang Yudie, then with a cold, stern voice said to her, "How dare you interrupt my questioning! Men, punish her with 20 slaps to the face! "

Many of the people there gasped in shock.

Behind Xiao Jiuyuan, Bai Yao waved his hand and a man came to Jiang Yudie. With his big hands, the man slapped Jiang Yudie without mercy nor care.

'Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah!'

The loud slapping sounds frightened everyone in the hall. Especially for the faint-hearted, this was something really gruesome to watch.

Many of them looked at the scene and wondered why the Li Prince was punishing Jiang Yudie 'Did he do this to defend Yun Qianyu's reputation?'

Everyone in the room was contemplating the sudden turn of events.
