After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 469: Thunder may be late, but it will never be absent

The little fellow thought about the golden melon seeds in his arms and suddenly felt that they were not fragrant anymore. 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, you are so stingy! ]

Shangguan Chengjing frowned and said perfunctorily, "Yue'er, 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 hooligans came over. Then most of the crowd disappeared and went to grab the gold in the ruins.

They even fought inside.

Lord Tao hurriedly cried and tried to stop them, holding 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 saving 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 to the police!"

Then ran away.

Lord Tao sat on the ground, crying and wailing in agony, as if he was about to die.

Zhai Jingyu helped Madam Zhai out. Madam Zhai spat at them and said, "You deserve it!"

The boy 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 boy's head lovingly, "My brother is so smart!"

Upon hearing this, Lord Tao rushed towards the boy from the Zhai family 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. My gold!"

Father Zhai stepped in front and gave Master Tao a shove. "Your house caught 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 shaking with anger. After a long while, he lost his breath 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 try to grab the gold and Shangguan Qingyue and his group were also shocked. Shangguan Chengjing was brave and went forward with Gao Qi to check on 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 pissed off Lord Tao to death!"

Everyone looked at her. Zhai Jingxuan remained calm, staring at the three people from the Zhai family. The three people from the Zhai family felt a little sluggish. For some reason, they always felt that this look was very...

Zhai Jingyu was filled with resentment. She didn't expect that "Shangguan Chengjing" would openly defy her and put such a serious crime on them, making her even more jealous of "Zhai Jingxuan" who was standing next to her.

His poisonous gaze shifted to Zhai Jingxuan's face, "Sister, where did you go just now? You left the whole family alone, don't you think that's too heartless?"

"Zhai Jingxuan" (Shangguan Chengjing) was once again shocked by Zhai Jingyu's shamelessness. He put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly, "Why do you care where I go? Why should I care about you? Who do you think you are?"

"You!" After a night of frustration, Zhai Jingyu had lost control. She gnashed 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. Lord Tao was dead, and someone had to take the blame. He frowned and said, "Jingxuan, you set the fire to vent your parents' anger. Just admit it. Your parents won't blame you. Why do you have to 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 did not 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 their evil deeds.

Zhai Jingxuan lowered her head in embarrassment.

Shangguan Chengjing is not an unreasonable person. It is her family who are shameless, not Zhai Jingxuan herself. 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 not have a good death!"

As soon as the words fell, the Zhai family was furious, but if they were too excited about 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?"

With such a decisive tone, the people around him were also convinced by him. Seeing the guilty and hateful expressions of the Zhai family, an official's wife whispered, "It seems that it was not Miss Zhai who put it there."

Gao Qi somehow spoke up for Shangguan Chengjing, "Master Zhai, since you said your son didn't do it, why don't you make him swear an oath as well."

"How can that be possible?!" Mr. 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 gritted her teeth and said, "I swear."

Mr. Zhai and Mrs. Zhai looked at her in surprise.

"Quiet words!"

Zhai Jingyu gritted her teeth and said, "Master Chengjing, my brother is well-behaved and sensible. He definitely didn't set 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 saying this, 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 swear such a vicious oath.

Father Zhai and Madam Zhai had been on tenterhooks, and 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 poisonous oath to curse your own brother. Are you satisfied?"

"You said it was your brother who set the fire, so where's the thunder? Why didn't it strike your brother?"

“Hahahaha…” Madam Zhai became even more outrageous, “God, strike me with thunder! Strike me!”

Click! !

A thunderclap that could shatter 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. 】
