The people there mostly gossiped about the recent events of Eternal Peace Marquis’s Residence and also about how the second young miss Yun Qianxue and Xuan Prince loved each other; this had been a very popular topic among the common folk.
Although Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, was not the heir apparent, he was the most handsome among the royal family members. Besides having innate spirit energy, Xiao Tianyi also had the support of the Yan Bei royal family. Aside from the heir apparent, Xiao Tianyi was the most likely to ascend the throne. That was why many of the single ladies took great interest in him.
However, his Highness Xuan Prince was deeply in love with Yun Qianxue. Besides being envious, the other women couldn’t do anything about it.
Now that the name of Yun Qianxue had been tarnished however, most of the women in the capitol were rejoicing over it.
Even if his royal Highness liked Yun Qianxue, with her ruined reputation the Emperor would surely not agree to their marriage. To the single women there, this meant that there was an opportunity.
Thinking of this, all the women there became more excited and chatted even louder.
Just when the people there got excited, several more carriages arrived at the auction house. The first one was the carriage of Xuan Prince. As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiao Tianyi alighted from the carriage.
At the sight of Xiao Tianyi’s appearance, the present noblewomen from all the different families showed interest and tried to look their best in order to attract the attention of his Highness Xuan Prince. However, Xiao Tianyi did not look at the other women at all. Instead, he turned around with a gentle smile on his face and walked to a carriage behind him.
Xiao Tianyi reached out his hand and said to the person in the carriage, “Xue’er, we’ve arrived. Let me help you down.”
A gentle voice came from inside the carriage, “Thank you, brother Tianyi.”
Yun Qianxue got down from the carriage with Xiao Tianyi’s help. The two stood side by side, the man tall, handsome and of noble bloodline while the woman was beautiful and gentle. In addition, the two seemed harmonious and loving as they looked at each other. The pair actually seemed like a good fit.
However, this harmonious scene was soon shattered by the jeers of envious women, “The people from the Yun family are really thick-skinned. How could someone come out after being shamed like that, this is a real eye-opener.”
Immediately after someone said that the rest of the crowd began to chime in, “not only a thick face but also cruel enough to kill entire families.”
“A flower that’s full of sh*t!”
Listening to these taunts, Yun Qianxue’s face flushed red. When she looked up at Xiao Tianyi, her eyes were already swimming in tears. Xiao Tianyi immediately held her hand and stared at the people around them.
The women immediately stopped taunting her after receiving a glare from Xiao Tianyi.
At that moment, another group of people approached. They were prince Yan Jinghong and princess Yan Qingfeng from the Yan Bei royal family. The Yan Bei royal family were the in-laws of Xiao Tianyi; they had always been close.
Since they had a close relationship, when Yan Jinghong saw Xiao Tianyi, he quickly brought his sister over to greet him.
“Cousin, you are here. Who made you unhappy?”
Yan Jinghong saw that Xiao Tianyi had an unpleasant look on his face.
Xiao Tianyi restrained his anger and shook his head calmly. He didn’t want to put any more attention on Xue’er, since that would have a bad effect on her.
“I’m fine. Should we go in now? The auction will start soon. I wonder if I can get something useful this time.”
