Although the public still didn't know whether it was true or not, they were still shocked to know that Jing Yunyao's father had tried to kill her many times. Even her son and the Leng family were dragged into trouble. In that case, no one would be able to stand it. Therefore, as long as it was true, most people could understand Jing Yunyao's behavior. There was cause for that.
What else could she do? Did she have to wait till her father killed her, her son, and her husband's family? Who could tolerate that?
Since they couldn't do that, they had no position to blame other people.
Anyway, if it was true, Jing Yunyao's father was too cruel.
The clarification made it clear that Jing Yunyao had broken their family's rules, but the public didn't think she should be killed just because of that.
As a result, the majority didn't think that Jing Yunyao deserved the consequences. Instead, they felt that her father was unbelievably cruel.
