No need to worry...
This disaster was started by her alone, but now others have to bear the consequences. How can she feel at ease?
"..." Yu Qianqian opened her mouth, but before she could utter a word, several particularly piercing voices continued to penetrate her eardrums amidst the chaotic crowd.
"Hey! This young master looks so familiar, he looks like Hua Mancheng!"
"How strange! How could Young Master Cheng be associating with this traitor's daughter?"
"Young Master Cheng, why are you protecting her so much? Is it because you two have had an illicit relationship for a long time?"
"Young Master Cheng, what did Prince Jing think when he found out about your ambiguous relationship? Did he really want to be cuckolded by the two of you?"
"Young Master Cheng, when this traitor's daughter meticulously planned this scam, were you involved?"
In an instant, a barrage of unpleasant questions arose from the crowd, pouring into the ears of Feng Jin and Hua Mancheng like a storm.
Hua Mancheng frowned, his eyes blazing with fury. A cold light flashed from his outstretched palm as he was about to turn around and unleash a massacre when a violent tremor ran through his chest, causing him to immediately stop his movements.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked down and saw Yu Qianqian sobbing silently in his arms. Instantly, a sharp pain surged in his heart.
Seeing her on the verge of collapse, his expression changed abruptly. He quickly covered her ears with his hands and said rapidly, "Your Highness, don't listen... they're all talking nonsense!"
As he finished speaking, Hua Mancheng cast an unusually cold gaze at the surrounding crowd. His face was more unsightly than ever before. No one knew why he was so enraged. The raging fire surging in his chest was about to burst out with the power to kill.
He had witnessed firsthand how Yu Qianqian had endured misunderstandings, betrayals, and humiliation along the way, and how she had always managed to grit her teeth and get through it all. Yet, he had never seen her so distraught as she was now.
Having traversed this chaotic world for many years, he had long seen through the selfishness and wickedness of human nature. His own arrogant nature had been worn down, and now he was indifferent to how others judged him. However, seeing Yu Qianqian being bullied like this inexplicably made him indignant.
Even now, people continued to hurl insults at Yu Qianqian, but no one knew that the man standing upright in front of them was burning with rage because of the increasingly vicious insults.
Suddenly, he turned around, grabbed the Shadowless Sword he carried, and strode towards the crowd.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding commotion immediately ceased.
Before the sword was even drawn, its sharpness was already deadly. A fierce gust of wind roared out from between Hua Mancheng's fingers, causing the flat land within a hundred miles to tremble violently, along with flying sand and stones. Everyone staggered and fell to the ground, and screams of shock filled the air.
"Please, Young Master Cheng, show mercy! We don't want to die!"
"In my opinion, let's forget about everything else and focus on escaping!"
Before long, everyone at the scene was so frightened by Hua Mancheng that they fled in panic.
However, he stopped in his tracks as soon as he turned around. He saw that many soldiers with sharp blades had surrounded Yu Qianqian. The person in the sedan chair in front of him was leaning against the seat with the curtain half open. Because the person in the sedan chair was leaning back, it was impossible to see his appearance clearly.
Yu Qianqian turned around in surprise, and a cold-looking man in a yellow robe and silver hair slowly walked out of the sedan chair, followed by a loud voice.
"Yu Qianqian, daughter of the traitor Yu Changxiao, fled after being convicted of a crime. She then misappropriated the name of Feng Jin, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, abused her power for personal gain, and altered the Book of Fate. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor, which is intolerable by Heaven."
"Yu Qianqian, your crimes have already been compounded. If you know what's good for you, surrender immediately!"
