"But it was the Second Lady of the Gu Family who broke off the engagement later! No respectable girl would dare to marry someone like him! And now, the Elder Miss has become the Queen. How dare they be here, trying to share in our blessings? Shame on them!" A voice in the crowd pointed at them, spewing out bitter curses.
The shouts multiplied, and discussions about the disgraceful actions of Duke Changning's Mansion spread through the crowd like wildfire.
Soon, anger erupted. People began shouting at Duke Changning and his family, and objects were hurled in their direction.
Duke Changning and his family were defenseless against the onslaught. They were punched and battered, acquiring numerous bruises as they struggled to escape the chaos.
By the time they managed to break free from the crowd, they were in a state of disarray.
They were powerless against the people on the street until they reached the safety of Duke Changning's Mansion.
