When the lightning was about to hit Yan Xiaoman, it was blocked by an invisible force.
Yun Yuan narrowed her eyes calmly.
"Host, this is the power of heaven."
The system sighed, "As expected, I can't just kill the hero and heroine directly. Heaven doesn't know it was me who killed them yet, and is checking everyone present. I have to disappear for a while, so you must not be OOC during this time."
Yun Yuan nodded slightly. She felt like she was being locked onto by something, and the hairs on her body stood up. Soon the force disappeared, but the feeling of being monitored remained.
"Xiaoman!" With Ji Shen's loud shout, everyone came back to their senses.
At this time, Yan Xiaoman sat on the ground with his legs limp, his whole body trembling, and his eyes full of fear.
Ji Shen went over and hugged her with a distressed look on his face. "What happened just now was just a coincidence. Don't be afraid. I'll take you home now."
Is this really a coincidence? The expressions of the people present varied.
Everyone was just there to watch the fun, and no one expected that lightning would really strike. Although Yan Xiaoman was fine for some reason, the lightning was indeed aimed at her.
Yun Yuan stopped Ji Shen and said, "Aren't you here to give me some money? You can go, but leave the money behind."
Ji Shen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Yun Yuan, do you really have to block the way now?"
Yun Yuan wasn't afraid of him at all: "Give me the money and I'll leave."
Ji Shen fumbled around his body angrily, then froze when he realized he hadn't brought any money with him, so he could only lower his head and ask Yan Xiaoman for it.
"Xiao Man, do you have money? Give her some."
Yan Xiaoman had just been struck by lightning and was greatly shocked. His mind was blank and he was at a loss.
Yun Yuan looked at them with her arms crossed, refusing to give way unless they paid.
Someone came over to show his courtesy after watching the fun: "Scholar, I'm here, I'm here, I've brought money."
"No thanks." Ji Shen didn't want to owe anyone a favor, especially one owed in public, which might cause trouble in the future.
He put Yan Xiaoman down and searched her body, thinking of giving the beggar a few cents to get rid of him, but he searched every place on Yan Xiaoman's body where he could hide money and didn't find a single copper coin.
Ji Shen was embarrassed.
Yun Yuan fully plays the role of the vicious female supporting role.
"See? I told you they were here to laugh at me. I unilaterally declare that from now on, I will never be reconciled with them!"
Everyone was surprised. This was the only scholar in the village now. Maybe he could take the imperial examinations in the future and become a juren or jinshi.
In their opinion, although Yun Yuan and Yan Xiaoman's family had not gotten along in the past, they were all minor quarrels, but this time the nature was different.
Ji Shen: "Do you really want to do this?"
"Is there anything wrong with what I did?" Yun Yuan said in a cold voice, "That's the person I love the most. If it was your parents who were murdered, you would do something even more extreme than me."
Ji Shen frowned and emphasized again: "My wife and father-in-law are definitely not the kind of people you say they are."
Yun Yuan's beautiful eyes were filled with mockery. "I thought the sudden shock just now explained everything, but it's no wonder. Everyone subconsciously chooses to trust those closest to them. You chose to trust the Yan family, but I only trust my parents, and the facts I heard and saw with my own eyes."
After hearing Yun Yuan's words, Ji Shen was speechless for a moment. He silently walked around Yun Yuan and left without looking back.
Yun Jin and He Shi hurriedly chased after him and continued to block Ji Shen's way, saying in a bad tone: "Wait, doesn't your wife need to pay compensation for harming someone?"
Ji Shen suppressed his anger and answered word by word: "I said, my wife has never done such a thing!"
"Just because you say there's no such thing?" Yun Jin asked, "Then why didn't God strike Yan Xiaoman down instead of someone else? Isn't this retribution?"
"It was just an accident!" Ji Shen's voice rose eight octaves, angry and helpless.
"Don't tell me about accidents. How could such a coincidence happen? It's not normal for a thunderbolt to suddenly strike on a sunny day, and it happened to strike Yan Xiaoman who was swearing."
Yun Jin became more and more excited as he spoke. "If this isn't God's wrath, then what else could it be?"
After the death of Yun's father and mother, the Yun clan members sought justice from the Yan family, but because there was no solid evidence, the case ended up in nothing. But now Yan Xiaoman was struck by lightning in public, and Yun Jin did not want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune.
"Twenty taels. If you don't give me that, I'll go to your school and make a scene. Tell me, do you think people will believe in God or you?"
"You!" Ji Shen was furious. "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. If you dare to do this, neither the Ji nor the Yan clan will let you go."
Ji Shen is the best scholar in the two villages. He is now a scholar. After the mourning period is over, he will take part in the autumn examination. It is rare for a village to have a scholar, and both families want to take advantage of this opportunity.
Although the Yan family's relatives had been almost offended by the heroine, the Ji family was a big family in Taoshan Village. When they heard what Yun Jin said, they all surrounded him with unfriendly eyes.
Yun Jin was a little afraid: "I wonder how long you can be so proud."
Then he left in shame with He and the child.
The people blocking the road left, Ji Shen and Yan Xiaoman also left, leaving only some members of the Ji clan.
Ji Zhang took his mother's surname. After his mother passed away, he left behind only a twin brother, Ji Huai.
When Ji Zhang was studying, Ji Huai worked outside to support him. Now that Ji Zhang is gone, it’s time for him to come back.
"Sister-in-law." Speak of the devil.
Yun Yuan looked back, her eyes flashing with unconcealable joy, and a smile like a blooming spring flower appeared on the corner of her mouth.
