Lü Siqing walked up to Lü Simian and separated him from Qin Luo.
"How are you feeling, brother? Have you seen a doctor?"
Lu Simian found him annoying, but he couldn't show it.
He could only feign kindness and ask, "Brother, I'm alright. What did you buy today? Do you have enough money?"
Before Lü Siqing could answer, Wu Hua interrupted him.
"Brother Lü, you have no idea how poor your brother is. He only bought me some snacks, and he couldn't even afford a single copper coin!"
Lu Simian was truly astonished by its appetite. It had eaten three tables of food and could still eat snacks outside.
It's fortunate he's the young master of Wan Gu; otherwise, who could withstand his eating like that? He's practically a glutton!
Wu Hua sensed his malice again, and it was very directly directed at her.
But its expression remained unchanged; it simply waited to see what he would do next.
Hearing this, Lü Simian reluctantly took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Lü Siqing.
"Brother, take this silver note first. Come back to me when you've spent it all!"
Before Lü Siqing could even take it, Wu Hua gave Lü Simian a disdainful look.
"Luo Luo, I remember Brother Lü bidding against us for the Wen Yushu back then!"
Qin Luo nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Lü is very generous!"
Wu Hua pointed at the silver note and said, "Then why is he so stingy with his own brother?"
Qin Luo pretended to be too busy and covered its little mouth only after it finished speaking.
"Son, don't talk nonsense. This is their family matter, and we shouldn't interfere!"
Lu Simian blushed with embarrassment after being lectured by the two men, and then took out a handful of silver notes and handed them to Lu Siqing.
"It's not that I'm stingy, brother. I was just worried that it wouldn't be safe for you to carry too many silver notes around at your young age, so I was thinking of giving you some in small amounts several times. I didn't expect that you would misunderstand!"
He said nice things, but in reality, he was practically grinding his back teeth to powder.
But all I could do was console myself: I can get it all back eventually anyway, so what difference would it make if I gave it all to you?
Seeing that he was about to explode with anger, Qin Luo quickly cupped her hands in greeting.
"Brother Lü, I'm so sorry! The boy is still young, please don't take what I said to heart!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Simian looked at her with feigned gentleness.
"It's alright, it's alright. My son is just straightforward, I understand!"
Lu Siqing glanced at the three of them, then at the thick stack of silver notes in her hand, looking as if she were frozen in place, at a loss for what to do.
Seeing that he was still staring blankly, Wu Hua gave Qin Luo a wink. Qin Luo understood her meaning and...
He rolled up the silver notes in Lü Siqing's hand and stuffed them all into his pocket.
He lowered his voice and said, "No matter how many there are, just put them away! Don't give him a chance to take them back!"
Lu Siqing didn't care how ugly Lu Simian's expression was at that moment!
He nodded to Qin Luo while pulling his collar up high, as if afraid the silver notes would fall out.
After Qin Luo and Lü Siqing finished their work, Wu Hua took out a thick stack of silver notes from her small cloth bag.
Each one was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver; it was given to the two of them by Elder Yuan before their departure, and the whole box was full of them.
It waved the silver note at Lü Simian, continuing to provoke him.
"You're wrong. My grandfather said that children should always carry plenty of silver notes; it's called a sense of security!"
Lu Simian's face turned green with rage. He was furious in his heart: You brat, if you weren't the adopted cousin of the Eternal Young Master and Qi Yong, I would tear you to pieces!
He had barely finished thinking that when a bolt of lightning struck him on the forehead.
Just before the lightning struck, Qin Luo reached out and pulled Lü Siqing behind him.
Fortunately, Lü Simian always considered servants to be inferior people and that they should stay at least five steps away from him.
The two servants escaped unharmed this time, but it didn't matter even though they were close by.
Tengteng would control the area struck by lightning beforehand to ensure that only Lü Simian would be injured.
Lu Simian, who was struck by the sword, had his clothes torn, his face blackened, and his hair ornament shattered.
The shopkeeper and waiter were so frightened that they hid behind the counter and dared not come out. Lü Siqing was also frightened.
He stared dumbfounded at the charred remains on the ground, then turned his gaze to Qin Luo.
"This...this...brother, this..."
Qin Luo didn't reply, but feigned shock and said, "Heavenly... Heavenly Punishment..."
Upon hearing those two words, everyone present was so frightened that they retreated a great distance.
He feared that if Lai Tianye became angry, he would be implicated.
The two servants' legs went weak, and they crawled backwards on their hands and knees.
They seem to have forgotten that the person who was struck was their own master.
The two of them kept their heads down, and it was hard to tell if they were secretly laughing!
After all, the person who hit him not long ago got his comeuppance so quickly; it's hard not to feel secretly pleased!
At this moment, Lü Simian had already fainted, while the culprit, Wu Hua, was secretly delighted.
"Haha! You dared to be hostile towards me? Just wait until my Tengteng electrocutes you!"
Qin Luo secretly gave it a thumbs up from behind, then called out to Lü Siqing in a sorrowful tone.
"Younger brother, you mustn't go forward now. He was just struck by lightning. If you touch him rashly, you might bring disaster upon yourself! I know you respect your elder brother, but this is divine punishment! You mustn't act rashly..."
Upon hearing this, the two servants crawled back a few steps.
Lu Siqing saw through Qin Luo's act and immediately cooperated with her, feigning remorse.
"Brother, why was my brother struck by lightning? Only someone who has committed heinous crimes would be..."
He suddenly covered his mouth as he spoke, as if afraid he might accidentally reveal the truth...
Qin Luo sighed with a face full of sorrow.
"I told him before not to do evil, that something was already following him, but he wouldn't believe me, sigh..."
Lu Siqing stared in disbelief at Lu Simian on the ground, as if she had suddenly had an epiphany.
"No wonder the heavens sent down lightning; it turns out he had committed too many evil deeds!"
Qin Luo patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't be sad for him. He brought this upon himself! The most important thing now is to quickly tell your father about his situation. Remember to write down everything in detail, and it would be best to include witness testimonies!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the two servants, the shopkeeper, and the waiter.
The shopkeeper and waiter were almost backed into the kitchen, but their ears were still perked up in this direction!
Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder they're from the same lineage! They've completely forgotten their fears in order to hear gossip!"
The servants were also calculating in their hearts; if Lü Simian died or was injured, they wouldn't survive, but if it were divine punishment…
The two exchanged a glance and looked at the unconscious Lü Simian.
He thought to himself: Since you don't treat us like human beings in ordinary times, don't blame us for betraying you when it really matters!
The two men immediately got up, knelt down, and crawled to Lü Siqing, their tone extremely sincere.
"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has been punished by Heaven! We are all witnesses and will write down everything in detail and send it back to the capital along with your letter!"
"Yes, and we will also write down all the dirty deeds that the young master has done!"
Lu Siqing understood that the two were trying to surrender, since he and Lu Simian were currently the only two male members of the Lu family.
If news of Lü Simian's divine punishment were to reach the capital, he would likely be driven from his home and sent to a temple to repent.
He will be the only male heir of the Lü family to inherit the family business.
