Chapter 362 Avenging Gu Ying
Xia Yuting stood there, her hair charred black from being struck by lightning and smelling burnt.
Seeing that something was wrong, her personal maidservant quickly slipped out of the backyard to inform Xia Ying.
People around her started gossiping about her.
Who is this person?
How many bad things must one have done to deserve being struck by lightning?
"I've lived this long and seen plenty of people make oaths, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone get struck by lightning immediately after making an oath."
"Don't even mention you, this is the first time I've ever met you either."
People shouldn't do too many bad things, after all, God is watching.
Who knows, maybe one day when God has some free time, he'll settle accounts with you properly.
"I heard this woman is the wife of the magistrate of some county below?"
"The county magistrate's wife? It seems the prefect's wife didn't invite the county magistrates' wives this time, so why is this person here?"
Could it be that you're related to the prefect's family?
"How could that be? The governor has been in Yunlu City for so many years, and we have never heard of him having such a relative."
It seems this person came to us of their own accord to try and build a relationship.
Ningbao frowned as she looked at Xia Yuting, who had been struck by lightning twice...
I made a mistake and ended up taking two lightning-attracting talismans.
By the time she realized it, the talisman had already been thrown away.
Ningbao felt bad that she had wasted a talisman.
These yellow papers and cinnabar are very expensive.
She used too many talismans on the last voyage, and she doesn't have much left. She must remember to buy some to take back later.
However, seeing Xia Yuting's miserable state, Ning Bao felt relieved.
Looking at Xia Yuting, whose head was still steaming, she proudly raised her chin.
"See! You got struck by lightning!"
"Mrs. Xia, now you can tell me if you know Gu Ying or not, right?"
Xia Yuting was trembling all over; she hadn't expected him to actually be struck by lightning.
Over the years, the bad things she's done aren't limited to Gu Ying alone.
Ever since her cousin became the county magistrate, she has never been the only woman in his life.
She has always been jealous, and the sight of those women would enrage her. Over the years, she has harmed many women in the mansion.
Some of them were even pregnant or giving birth, and she would still find a way to kill them both.
When she first started doing bad things, she might have worried about retribution. But after doing many bad things, she was still enjoying life carefree, so she stopped believing in retribution.
Now that she's suddenly been struck by lightning, she's feeling scared again. But at this moment, she definitely can't admit anything, otherwise she'll be truly finished.
Xia Yuting steeled herself and looked at Ning Bao.
"So what if I know Gu Ying?"
You're not an official, so what right do you have to interrogate me?
Although my husband's official position is not high, he is still a county magistrate.
I, the wife of a county magistrate, never imagined that I would be humiliated like this by a little child in the prefect's mansion.
I would like to ask the Prefect's wife, is this your way of treating guests?
Madam Gu sneered.
"Ah! Madam Xia has quite the eloquence."
"It's not that officials can't do anything to you, but someone like you who has done so many wrong things will eventually get their comeuppance."
"Ha! Karma!" Xia Yuting sneered.
"I have never believed in any kind of retribution."
I'm here today to attend the prefect's wife's banquet. If the prefect's wife doesn't welcome me, then I'll just leave. There's no need for me to be questioned by a little baby here.
If you really want to stand up for a dead person, then produce evidence.
"I am only qualified to be questioned by proper officials; others are not qualified."
"Am I qualified?" Looking at Zhou Chengxing, whose eyes were already blazing with anger, Gu Zheyuan strode over.
She was well aware of how much the Prince of Zhenbei doted on his youngest daughter.
Seeing his youngest daughter facing a wicked woman alone, the Prince of Zhenbei had long wanted to step forward and help.
Gu Zheyuan grabbed him and walked up on his own.
The Prince of Zhenbei did not intend to reveal his identity when he came to Yunlu City this time.
