Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin knocked on the door halfway through the meal.

“It’s me.”

Qi Qingyao ran over and opened the door. After the two of them had entered the house, they took off their devilish animal masks and tossed them aside. Then, they grabbed the bowls of rice and started eating as well.

Usually, when they came back, the two of them would tell Qi Qingyao some of the interesting things that had happened at the construction site that day. However, they were silent today. They did not even dare to breathe in the air around them. Qi Qingyao did not notice this, however, and asked with a joyous, silly look, “Did you guys know that someone was struck dead by lightning today?”

Both of them, “...”

Si Jin almost buried his face in the bowl guiltily.

Jiang Yeqian managed to remain a little calm. “How did you know?”

“Everyone was talking about it outside. It was the servant who told me.” Qi Qingyao picked up a mouthful of fish-flavored meat floss, “You guys didn’t hear news as big as this? Seems like it hasn’t reached Linquan Village yet!”

Both of them, “...”

Qi Qingyao finally noticed the two of them were acting a little strange. It was as if they did not want to talk about this topic.

“What’s up? What’s with your expressions?” They did not want to talk about such a huge and interesting thing, how boring.

Si Jin continued clutching his bowl and wolfing down his rice as though he did not know anything.

Jiang Yeqian hesitated for a while before saying, “I have good news for you.”

“Good news? Could it be that someone wants to give me silver?” Qi Qingyao blinked and asked casually.

“No.” Jiang Yeqian put down his bowl. He licked his lips and said with a dry voice, “One of your enemies is dead.”

“Enemy?” She had no enemy. She had just entered this world not long ago and had not even gone out this month, how was it possible for her to make enemies! As for Heir Pei, she was considered his savior.

Jiang Yeqian answered, “Qi Yuancheng.”

“He—he’s dead?” Qi Qingyao was startled for a moment. She continued taking her meal, then asked vaguely, “He’s been perfectly fine all this while, how did he die?”

Jiang Yeqian, “He was struck to death by lightning...”

The hand Si Jin was using to shovel food into his mouth paused for a moment before he hurriedly continued to eat seriously.

Qi Qingyao put down her bowl quietly, “...”

She blinked blankly, finding it hard to believe it.

Si Jin snuck a glance at her over the edge of his bowl and quickly withdrew his gaze.

Jiang Yeqian was also observing her expression.

Both of them were a little scared. After all, Qi Qingyao was from the Qi family. Even if she had severed her ties with them, the fact remains that the Qi family’s blood was running through her veins. Some people did not have the heart to strike their own families when they were down even after having severed their ties. One of her family members had legitimately died today. If Qi Qingyao decided she wanted to settle this score, then it would be with the two of them directly.

Si Jin noticed her expression was a little pensive.

He quickly put down the bowl and gulped. He then fell onto his knees in front of her with a thump.

He spoke quietly with a submissive look.

“This—this wasn’t my fault. He was the one who brought his whole family to pick on us, and he kept scolding me. He said that both of us led you astray, said that we abducted you, imprisoned you, and used you! He really was being too mean.”

His voice trailed off at the end.

“What happened then?” Qi Qingyao was extremely calm.

Si Jin said while trembling, “I—I—I just said, be careful to not get struck by lightning.”

Qi Qingyao said, “Then, you struck him to death just like that?”

“...” Si Jin did not dare speak, hanging his head low.

After a short while.

“Hahahahaha!” Qi Qingyao suddenly burst out laughing.

She laughed so loudly that the two men and three children at the dining table were confused.

After Qi Qingyao was done laughing, she pulled Si Jin up and sat him down, “Although it’s a pity, I have to say, well done! Come on, young man, I’ll reward you with a drumstick.”
