Chapter 680 That child is so pitiful.

"puff……"

"Help!"

"Help...help me!"

In the pool outside the city, the Chang family couple and their son Chang Yunxuan struggled together in the water.

Song Chunxue unintentionally used her mind to turn a peach branch into a whip, and Wuyou was also eager to try it out, jumping up and down excitedly as she watched the person splashing in the water.

He Xiu clasped his hands together and said, "I am doing this to rid the people of a scourge and to warn them against doing evil, for evil will surely be punished and bring them boundless blessings."

After saying that, he transformed into an old beggar and suddenly flung out a long, silver vine that was more than ten meters long. It wrapped around Chang Yunxuan and pulled him out of the water.

Master Han stared at Chang Jiang, who was struggling in the water, his fists clenching tighter and tighter, his aura growing colder and colder.

In June, Song Chunxue actually felt cold.

She couldn't help but ask, "Master Han, what's wrong?"

"This man has committed too many sins; he is not worthy of my attention." He looked at Chang Jiang as if he were looking at a dead object.

Song Chunxue looked at Chang Jiang, but she could only see that his body was covered in a gray haze, making it difficult to see clearly. It was as if someone had covered his soul with a layer of clothing to hide his ugliness.

"He raped and murdered young girls, and made his wife kill their daughter. He was burdened with countless evil thoughts and karma, yet he made others take the blame and karmic burdens for him. Someone even set up a karmic trap for him, actually deceiving the Heavenly Way," he sneered. "How could there be such a wicked person in the world, acting recklessly right under our noses!"

These words sent chills down Song Chunxue's spine, and she exclaimed sincerely, "They must be quite capable."

Master Han turned and stared at her, his eyes so cold they could kill.

Wuyou immediately blocked her way, fearing he would make a move.

Song Chunxue quickly lowered her head and changed her words, "What I meant was, if that person wasn't an evil cultivator, he would have already achieved enlightenment by now."

She pointed to Chang Jiang, who was nearly drowning, and asked, "So how do you plan to punish him?"

“Pull him out when he’s about to drown, stab him awake, and then throw him back down. This will prepare him mentally so he can be calmer when he goes to hell. Maybe he can even work in the eighteenth level of hell someday.”

"..." The Taoist priest sounds quite kind, but something just doesn't feel right.

Wouldn't it be better to work in hell than to suffer?

I'll ask other fellow practitioners later.

She looked at Ms. Wei, who had climbed to the shore, and asked uncertainly, "Should I hit her again?"

"Hmph, you've softened your heart so easily?" Master Han coldly reminded her, "She was the one who ordered the arrows to be shot and the incantations to be written, and she was also the one who suggested setting fire to the Xie residence."

"That's right, then I won't be polite." She suddenly felt that dealing with this kind of person herself would dirty her hands, but she would feel like she was missing out if she didn't vent her anger.

She came up to Wei Shi with her whip, making no attempt to disguise herself, and lashed her straight on the back.

"Smack!"

"Ahhh! Help! Help..." When she saw Song Chunxue's face, Madam Wei's eyes widened, more terrified than if she had seen a ghost. "You...you...how are you here?"

"You heartless bastard, you actually let someone beat my son! Song Chunxue, you'll die a horrible death!"

"You..."

Song Chunxue lashed the side of her face with the whip, and a few beads of blood instantly squeezed out of the red welt.

"ah!"

"Didn't you tell your son to hire someone to shoot arrows and disgust people? I'm teaching your son a lesson for you, you should be grateful to me, why aren't you grateful?" As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped her on the back. "Your whole family has quite a temper, can't stand the slightest grievance, after setting the fire you've come up with this trick, you don't mind the trouble, but I'm the one who's in the trouble for you."

"Smack!"

"ah!"

Song Chunxue stepped on her calf to stop her from running away. "Everything comes at a price. So what if you're one against ten? You still have twenty-odd lashes left. Don't worry, you won't die, it'll just hurt a little."

"Unlike everyone in the Xie family, who were all frightened."

Madam Wei began to beg for mercy, "It wasn't me, please let me go, it really wasn't me, please let Xuan'er go, he's my only son... Waaah..."

She was fine when she didn't speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Song Chunxue whipped her five times in one go.

"You only have one son, and that person only has one daughter. Just because your own daughter is worthless doesn't mean that other people's daughters are worthless either?"

"Don't move! If you struggle again, I'll break your son's arms and legs and make him stay at home for the rest of his life so he can't harm others."

Soaked to the bone, Wei lay motionless in the mud, reaching out her hands to grab Song Chunxue. "Please, spare my son, please spare my son..."

...

Early in the morning, the Xie family rushed to the gate and saw the people kneeling outside, as if the God of Wealth had arrived.

"Oh dear, isn't this the Chang family's son-in-law? Why is he kneeling on the ground?"

"That was in the past. They looked down on our daughter for marrying above her station. She's an old son-in-law. There's nothing special about it."

"Yeah, what was he rambling on about?"

"It seems like he's apologizing, saying he shouldn't have used curses or underhanded tricks, and he even apologized to our young lady and the child... So, the curse with the note hanging on it last night was his doing?"

"Well, I thought it was all because his parents were too bad, but it turns out he's surpassed them. I'll go fetch the dirty water!"

"I'm going to get the rotten eggs; I have nowhere to throw them away!"

...

Xie Lingyun stood in the courtyard, looking at the person kneeling on the ground through the crowd of people coming and going, and kept rubbing the handkerchief in her hand.

After five years of marriage, she never imagined that they would end up like this.

They were once deeply in love, and they were still affectionate when their eldest daughter was born.

But from some point onwards, he often went out, refused to eat with her, and wouldn't speak when his mother-in-law scolded her.

That day, when she unintentionally said something wrong and was punished by being forced to kneel, the servants of the Chang family pointed and whispered about her in the same way.

What she will never forget is that her mother, Madam Wei, had someone bring her eldest daughter to see her, saying that it would teach the child a lesson.

You can tell what a child will be like at three and what they will be like in their old age at seven. Even Chang Jiang said that she had to learn her father's useless, stubborn nature.

At that time, she had just given birth to her second child and was in her postpartum confinement period. No matter how much she begged, they refused to take the child away...

Through the crowd, she saw Chang Yunxuan's eyes. His empty and confused gaze suddenly jolted, as if he had been startled awake from a dream.

Their eyes met, and they remained locked in a long, unblinking gaze.

Seeing rotten eggs being thrown at Chang Yunxuan, dirty water from washing vegetables being splashed on him, and rotten vegetable leaves hanging on his forehead, Xie Lingyun finally spoke up to stop them.

"Stop arguing, go about your own business and close the door so you don't disturb the child." With that, she turned away from him and said calmly, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. The Chang family doesn't understand, but we should."

"Yes," the servants of the Xie family bowed in unison.

Song Chunxue stood in the courtyard and saw Xie Zheng shake his head as he entered.

"What's wrong?"

"Sigh, that child is so pitiful. When Yun'er took a liking to him, I thought he wasn't bad. If he hadn't been burdened by his parents, how could he have ended up like this?"

Song Chunxue remained silent. The reason Chang Yunxuan knelt outside the Xie residence to admit his mistake today was indeed because he was considerate of his parents.
