The little fellow thought about the golden melon seeds in his arms, and suddenly felt that they were no longer fragrant. He pouted and looked up at his brother, "Big brother, Tao Bushe is not the stingiest one, you are!"
[You bribed me to give you this little, how stingy!]
Shangguan Chengjing frowned and said perfunctorily, "Yuer, be good and stop making trouble." He knew in his heart that something big was going to happen.
Sure enough, the crowd began to get restless.
"Gold! All gold!"
The onlookers were reserved at first, until a few ruffians came over, and then most of the crowd disappeared, and they all went to grab the gold in the ruins.
They even started fighting inside.
Lord Tao hurriedly tried to stop them, crying, clutching his chest and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Stop snatching it, stop snatching it."
But he was pushed to the ground by the crazy people.
Heng Chen and Heng Ye, who were desperately trying to save money to redeem themselves, swallowed hard and suppressed the desire to rush forward.
They are ancestors after all, they can’t be so rude!
Lord Tao cried to Tao Bushe, "Go report to the authorities! Go find the Jingzhao Yin!"
Tao Bushe was also stunned, but after recovering from his shock, he said, "Okay, I'll report it to the police!"
Then ran away.
Lord Tao sat on the ground, crying bitterly, as if he was about to die.
Zhai Jingyu helped Madam Zhai out. Madam Zhai spat at the sight, "Serves you right!"
The young man from the Zhai family proudly made faces at the Tao family, and then said to Madam Zhai, "Mom, am I awesome?"
Mrs. Zhai caressed the Zhai boy's head lovingly, "My brother is so smart!"
Upon hearing this, Lord Tao rushed towards the Zhai family boy like a madman, "You evil creature, I'm going to strangle you to death!"
"If you hadn't set the fire, my house wouldn't have been robbed. Oh, my gold!"
Father Zhai stepped in front and gave Master Tao a shove. "Your house is on fire because of your own fault. Don't blame others!"
Zhai Jingyu continued, "Yes, which eye of yours saw that it was my brother who started the fire?"
Lord Tao pointed at the three people from the Zhai family and was so angry that he was shaking like a sieve. After a while, he couldn't breathe and fell to the ground. His life or death was unknown.
The four members of the Zhai family were shocked.
The officials who did not grab the gold and Shangguan Qingyue and his group were also shocked. Shangguan Chengjing was brave and went forward with Gao Qi to check Lord Tao's breath.
Takaki shook his head at everyone.
Zhai Jingxuan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she said coldly, "I saw it."
"I saw Zhai Gui set fire to the house and even angered Lord Tao to death!"
Everyone looked towards her upon hearing the sound. Zhai Jingxuan remained expressionless, her eyes fixed on the three members of the Zhai family. The three members of the Zhai family felt a slight pause in their hearts. For some reason, they felt that this look was very...
Zhai Jingyu was filled with resentment. She didn't expect that "Shangguan Chengjing" would openly offend her and put such a serious crime on them, which made her even more jealous of "Zhai Jingxuan" who was standing next to her.
His venomous gaze shifted to Zhai Jingxuan's face, "Sister, where were you just now? You abandoned the whole family and ignored them. Don't you think that's too heartless?"
"Zhai Jingxuan" (Shangguan Chengjing) was once again offended by Zhai Jingyu's shamelessness. He put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "What do you care where I go? Why should I bother with you? Who do you think you are?"
"You!" After a night of frustration, Zhai Jingyu had already lost control. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sis isn't here. Did you go to the Tao family and set fire to them?"
Shangguan Chengjing hissed and looked at Zhai Jingyu in disbelief.
He pointed at Zhai Gui and said, "It was obviously this brat who put it there!"
Father Zhai also knew that the matter had become a big deal. With Lord Tao dead, someone had to take the blame. He frowned and said, "Jingxuan, you started the fire to vent your parents' anger. Just admit it. Your parents won't blame you. Why put the blame on your brother?"
Madam Zhai said, "That's right, your brother is still a child, how could he set a fire?"
Upon hearing this, the spectators around also looked at Shangguan Chengjing with suspicion.
"Did you see this kid set the fire?"
"I didn't notice."
"Could it be that the adults put it there?"
Shangguan Chengjing was so shameless that he was speechless.
After a while, he looked at Zhai Jingxuan, his eyes seemed to be accusing them of evil deeds.
Zhai Jingxuan lowered her head in embarrassment.
Shangguan Chengjing is not an unreasonable person. It is her family, not Zhai Jingxuan herself, who are shameless. He cannot take his anger out on her.
He looked at the Zhai family and said sarcastically, "Whoever sets fire to the Tao family will die a miserable death!"
As soon as the words fell, the Zhai family was furious. However, if they were too excited after what they had just said, wouldn't it be a disguised admission? Zhai's father said darkly, "Jingxuan, you are an unmarried woman, how can you be so vicious!"
Shangguan Chengjing said quietly, "I dare to swear and swear, do you dare?"
His resolute tone convinced the people around him. Seeing the guilty and resentful expressions on the Zhai family's faces, one official's wife whispered, "It seems it wasn't Miss Zhai who put it there."
Gao Qi, for some reason, also spoke up for Shangguan Chengjing, "Master Zhai, since you say your son didn't do it, why don't you make him swear an oath as well?"
"How can that be possible?!" Father Zhai and Mrs. Zhai said in unison.
Zhai Jingxuan said bitterly, "If that's the case, then it was Zhai Gui who did it!"
Zhai Jingyu remained silent. She didn't want to reveal her true nature in front of Shangguan Chengjing anymore. Seeing that Shangguan Chengjing also felt that they were wrong, Zhai Jingyu hardened her heart and said through gritted teeth, "I swear."
Mr. Zhai and Mrs. Zhai looked at her in surprise.
"Quiet Talk!"
Zhai Jingyu said stubbornly, "Master Chengjing, my brother is well-behaved and sensible. He definitely didn't start the fire. If he did, then let him... let him..."
Shangguan Qingyue said in a crisp voice, "Sister Jingyu, don't be afraid. Oaths don't count. You have to prove your innocence to me loudly, otherwise he will misunderstand you!"
Yes, vows don’t count.
If it counts, her mother said that her father had sworn a solemn oath to Zhai Jingxuan's mother that he would never let her down. Even before her death, her father vowed never to remarry, otherwise he would not die a good death.
But my father still married my mother, and their family of four is still living well.
Zhai Jingyu's eyelashes trembled violently, but her eyes became more determined.
"I swear, if my brother did this, he will be struck by lightning."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly.
Haha, it’s a clear and sunny night tonight. Not to mention thunder, there’s not even any wind.
Shangguan Chengjing took a deep breath. The Zhai family was indeed ruthless people. They could even make such a vicious oath.
Father Zhai and Madam Zhai had been on edge, but seeing nothing had happened, they plucked up their courage. Madam Zhai stepped forward, pointed at Shangguan Chengjing, and cursed, "You vicious woman! You forced your sister to swear a curse on your own brother. Are you satisfied?"
"Since you said it was your brother who set the fire, where's the thunder? Why didn't it strike your brother?"
"Hahaha..." Madam Zhai became even more outrageous, "God bless you, God ...
Snap!!
A thunderclap that could shatter the eardrums split the sky and struck the boy on the ground. In an instant, sparks flew everywhere, vaguely illuminating his bones.
"Gui'er!" Mr. Zhai and Mrs. Zhai screamed in pain.
Shangguan Qingyue loosened his clenched fists and let out a breath.
[Don't worry, Lei is asleep, so he's a little slow to arrive.]
【Thunder may be late, but it will never be absent.】
