The loud slap stunned everyone on and off the stage, and a timid woman even exclaimed before quickly hiding behind her husband.
Bai Ruozhu frowned slightly. Hitting a woman in public like this, who knows how it would be at home?
However, she couldn't meddle in others' family affairs, so she just felt sorry for the woman, thinking she had married the wrong person.
The people below started whispering, but they weren't discussing how hitting a woman was wrong; instead, they were saying that family disgrace shouldn't be revealed, and that disciplining a wife should be done at home, not in public.
Bai Ruozhu felt a bit powerless, thinking that the status of women in Danliang Country had improved, yet the long-held belief of male superiority remained unchanged.
The man, feeling humiliated and seeing no hope of placing, simply swung his sleeves and walked off the stage, deciding not to compete.
Moreover, judging by his posture, he wasn't even concerned about his own wife when he left.
