Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.
Xu Zijun walked out of the crowd with a leisurely pace. Amid the mixed looks of curiosity, suspicion, surprise, and bewilderment, he calmly said, "I put it there."
Jing Cheng lightly flicked the flame on his fingertips, and the light golden flame danced playfully on his fingertips. For a moment, the flame seemed to attack the puppet doll with its fangs and claws, but under Jing Cheng's comfort, it reluctantly shrank into a small flame.
Seeing this scene, the Xu family members had different expressions.
Someone curled his lips, lowered his head and whispered to the person next to him: "Where did Dad get such a kid? He is young, but he is quite capable! Look at how much our dad loves him. He even has someone accompanying him at this time. I don't know what he is thinking."
The people around him changed their expressions and started pushing him: "Old Four, what are you talking about? Do you think everyone is like you? Big brother said that kid is evil, you better be careful not to let others hear it."
The man looked disdainful: "What can a pretty boy do? If he can hear it from such a distance, wouldn't it be a monster in disguise?"
"..." Jing Cheng had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so he heard it clearly. He couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment, thinking, how did he get involved with that pretty boy?
But eavesdropping on other people's gossip is really immoral, and he couldn't go over to refute the other person.
So Jing Cheng had to remind Mr. Xu with his eyes, "Should I still burn it?"
...
...
Old Xu did not receive Jing Cheng's hint. He just looked at his little daughter walking towards him with a complicated expression. He saw her step forward, squat down, pick up the puppet doll slowly, pat the dust off the doll, and put it in her arms.
When Jing Cheng saw this situation, he could only rub his fingers together and extinguish the Samadhi Fire. However, he couldn't help wondering in his heart, what was going on?
The eldest son of the Xu family looked at his father, then at his sister, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Who can tell me what happened? And little sister, what did you do?"
"..." Xu Zijun opened his mouth hesitantly and wanted to say something, but seemed to find it difficult to speak, so he held it back.
The eldest son of the Xu family: “…” Sister, your hesitant expression makes it difficult for me to deal with it!
At this moment, Elder Xu suddenly coughed lightly, and looked around at everyone with a dignified gaze, drawing everyone's attention to him, and slowly said: "I had an accident this morning when I went for morning exercise. If it weren't for the young man standing next to me who bravely stepped forward to help, it would be a question whether I could still stand here now."
"This..." After hearing what Old Xu said, the second oldest son of the Xu family looked at the eldest son of the Xu family and said, "My eldest brother has just told us about this. Dad, do you want to go to the hospital this afternoon?"
The words of the second son of the Xu family resonated with the rest of the Xu family. The eldest sister of the Xu family also said, "Dad, I think we can't avoid seeing a doctor. If we have money but no life to spend it, what's the point of making so much money?"
Elder Xu said calmly, "No need. I know the condition of my body."
Sister Xu was choked and looked around to see that no one was speaking, so she had to lower her head and remain silent.
"I'm old now, and I've let it go. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by God. I don't care if God wants to take me away." At this point, Old Xu said sternly, "I'm just afraid that before the King of Hell wants me to die, someone else wants to wish for my death on his behalf!"
This is so heartbreaking!
Everyone was shocked. Someone quickly looked at Xu Zijun and saw her clenching the puppet in her hand in panic. A thought quickly flashed through his mind and he was horrified.
Xu Lao Er said quickly: "Dad, what are you talking about? We are all your children, and we all hope that you live a long life!"
"Xu Zijun!" Old Xu's sharp eyes pierced people's hearts. He said sternly, "Tell me! Why do you want to hurt me!"
Xu Zijun's face turned pale, but she quickly calmed down and her complexion returned to normal.
Everyone else followed Mr. Xu's gaze and looked at Xu Zijun with shocked expressions.
Xu Zijun, the youngest daughter of the Xu family, is a well-known lady from an aristocratic family in Beijing. She is well-educated, well-mannered, elegant, and extremely gentle. Her personal resume from childhood to adulthood is a model of behavior for other daughters of wealthy families to emulate.
Could such a person harm his own father?
Xu Lao Er couldn't help but ask, "Dad...are you mistaken? How could my little sister possibly harm you?"
What's impossible about knowing a person's face but not his heart?
Jing Cheng took a look at Xu Zijun's face. He had a full forehead and narrow eyes. He should have been extremely noble, but he had a thin nose, thin lips, a short philtrum, and protruding cheekbones. He was pessimistic and world-weary, yet arrogant. He could only suppress his worries in his heart. Naturally, problems would arise over time.
Xu Zijun looked around and suddenly chuckled. Her face was as beautiful as a blooming flower.
Unfortunately, besides her family, the only person present was Jing Cheng, a young Taoist priest who didn't understand romance, and no one appreciated her beauty.
Unexpectedly, the next second, her face darkened and she smiled coldly.
"Because I hate you!" Xu Zijun said coldly, "I hate that you are so stubborn and never care about other people's feelings. I hate that you wantonly interfere with and control my life. My dreams have been ruined by you, and my love has left me. My existence is just a tool in your hands to maintain your face!"
Old Xu was shocked and angry: "You——"
"And they!" Xu Zijun pointed at the other members of the Xu family and sneered, "They are all thoughtless people, trapped in the cage of the Xu family, bound by the rules you set, and they are all dogs begging for mercy from you!!"
The Xu family's "dogs": "..."
"You are so arrogant, you think you can do anything! You want to control all of us!"
"All of our marriages are controlled by you at will. In your eyes, a good match is that my eldest brother and his wife have been separated for ten years! My eldest brother-in-law is out drinking and having sex all day and has a bunch of mistresses, but my eldest sister dares not even fart when she returns to her parents' home!"
"That's right." Xu Zijun sneered, "Our mother has been dead for almost 20 years. Is there anyone who wants justice for her?"
The eldest son of the Xu family and the eldest sister Xu both looked unhappy.
"You have educated Fourth Brother into a fool who knows nothing but playing with little boys, and you actually want him to marry the eldest daughter of the Qin family? Hahaha!"
Xu Laosi's face changed, and he quickly looked at Xu Lao's expression and explained, "Dad! Don't listen to her nonsense! It's not true!"
Old Xu had no time to care about him. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and couldn't even speak.
Xu Zijun's eyes were red. She pointed at a young man and sneered, "This beast has been staring at the guests since breakfast. I don't know what he is thinking! Dad, you have to keep an eye on this kid next to you. It's not easy for others to come to our house, but he disappeared at night."
Jing "Little Friend": "…………"
Although he had a feeling that this family might be in chaos before coming, he didn't expect it to be this chaotic.
Who are these people?
Jing Cheng couldn't help but turn his head to observe the face of Xu Lao Si. Sure enough, he had a fishtail, crisscross lines on his forehead, was lustful and prone to trouble, had three white spots on his eyes, was insidious and prone to cheating in marriage, was ungrateful, had dark circles under his eyes, and was obviously suffering from kidney deficiency...Huh? He actually started to have affairs at the age of 13 and lost his virginity. He is really a beast!
"But these are not reasons for you to kill your father!"
Old Xu couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up. His words were ruthless and to the point, "In my opinion, you are the beast!"
"You are so pathetic!" Xu Zijun shook his head and sighed, "You still haven't realized your failure and are still living in the beautiful dream that everyone has woven for you."
"I can tell you that your specific birth date was told to me by my eldest brother."
"My elder sister secretly hid one of your old clothes, and your hair was stuck on it."
"My second and fourth brothers knew long ago that you secretly made a will and bribed your lawyer..."
Old Xu's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "You, you guys——"
The people in the hall who were pointed out by Xu Zijun lowered their heads one after another, and an awkward atmosphere spread endlessly in the hall.
Xu Zijun smiled and said, "Look, who is the beast?"
Old Xu was silent, with a look of dejection on his face. He didn't want to say anything now.
The hall was so quiet that you could almost hear your breathing.
At this moment, a cool and slightly curious voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.
"The magic and the Tao attack are to steal the secrets of heaven, which is hated by heaven. Those who practice it will be hindered. Anyone who practices the "Lu Ban Book" must be "missing one door", and being a widow, orphan, lonely or disabled is one of them. I am a little curious, what did you lose?"
Is now the time to talk about this?
Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to Jing Cheng, and everyone's eyes were on him with complicated expressions.
It seemed as if they had only just now noticed the person who suddenly appeared in their home this morning.
The calm-looking young man, who had single-handedly disturbed the peace of his entire family, was still standing there with ease, as if all the wind and rain from the outside world could not crush him, just like a lonely and straight tree.
If this person hadn’t shown up… Boss Xu thought, it’s a pity that nothing he said would be of any use now.
There was nothing left to hide now. Hearing Jing Cheng's question, Xu Zijun replied indifferently, "Eyes. I lost an eye."
Jing Cheng looked at her in surprise: "Your eyes are sparkling, don't you look like someone who is blind in one eye?"
Xu Zijun: "...Because I wear colored contact lenses."
What are cosmetic contact lenses?
Jing Cheng silently memorized this word in his heart. He was afraid of appearing ignorant, so he did not ask. Instead, he turned to Old Xu and said, "Old sir, look at how bad you are as a father. Your daughter even went blind in one eye because of cursing you. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Hearing this, the five brothers and sisters of the Xu family all looked at him with wide eyes. Is this kid crazy?
Old Xu struggled for a long time. He looked at his many children, but none of them dared to look him in the eye. Some of them were cowering, some were jealous, and there was no admiration and worship as he had imagined.
It turned out that he had been living in the dream he had woven for himself.
He is truly a loser.

The author has something to say:
It's my fault!!! I miscalculated the time, I overestimated my hand speed_(:з」∠)_
I have made some changes. I have dragged on with the Xu family's affairs until now. I am too slow. I will reflect on myself.
