Chapter 293: The aftermath of being struck by lightning
It is late spring in the capital city and it suddenly started to drizzle early this morning. There are fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual, but the teahouses and restaurants are still as bustling as usual.
However, most people in the teahouse today could not hide their excitement, but they all lowered their voices at the same time.
"Have you heard? That person's yard was completely burned to ashes, not even a hair was left."
"It's really weird. There was thunder in the middle of the night and it destroyed the boss's entire yard. Tsk tsk..."
"I heard from my cousin's cousin's cousin that he has a brother who works at the Bingmasi. He said that the fire could not be put out no matter how hard they tried. It was getting bigger and bigger. Don't you think it's weird?"
"Weird? Humph..."
An old man with a skinny face and a long beard stroked his beard and sneered, "This matter, it can be said to be retribution. Someone said that the guards in that mansion saw with their own eyes a thunderbolt as thick as a dragon suddenly appear in the sky, and then it came directly down and hit that person's yard.
Think about it, it was 16 last night, the weather was very good, who knows, maybe I did too many bad things and God has punished me."
"Old Fish Head, please keep your voice down."
The person sitting at the same table with him quickly tugged at his sleeve and looked around cautiously.
"Eh? I think what Old Fishhead said makes sense. I heard that when that person was rescued, everything else was fine except his face, which was burnt beyond recognition."
The speaker was a middle-aged, wealthy man at the same table. He winked at the others and said, "Think about that person's usual behavior. Don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Princess Shengyang's arrogance is known to the whole city. Everyone knows that she carries a whip with her all day long and she likes to whip girls' faces the most.
Others thought about it carefully, eh? It seems to be the case, so? Is this the punishment from God?
At the same time, as long as you enter the teahouse, nine out of ten people will be talking about this matter. After all, such a weird thing is rare.
In the corridor of the small garden in Qinglu Lane, Lin Shuyue lay comfortably in a rocking chair with her eyes closed. As the rocking chair slowly rocked, tea was brewing on the small table beside her, and the boiling water on the stove made a gurgling sound, which complemented the drizzle outside the corridor.
"Miss, the three young masters and two young ladies of the Qin family are here."
Qingzhi came hurriedly to report.
Lin Shuyue opened her eyes in slight surprise, and then said lazily: "Please ask them to come over here, and bring some chairs over."
"Hey, no need, we're already here."
Turning around, I saw Qin Manyin jumping happily towards me behind Qinghe, followed by Qin Manzhen and the three Qin Zhizhou brothers.
"Wow! Ah Yue, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Do you have another chair like this? I want to sit on it too."
Qin Manyin, who was already familiar with the place, turned around and asked Qing He without any hesitation.
Qing He smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Manyin, please wait a moment. Qing Zhi and I will bring it over right away."
Lin Shuyue sat up and looked at them curiously, "Why did you come here on such a rainy day?"
"Hehe, it's Manyin who insisted on coming to talk to you." Qin Zhiyan responded as he poured a cup of tea for himself, his brother, his younger brother, and his two younger sisters.
Qin Manyin glared with her hands on her hips: "Second brother, it was obviously you who instigated us to come here because you were craving the hot pot at A Yue's mansion."
"Good sister, it's second brother's fault. Please give him some face." Qin Zhiyan was exposed and quickly begged for mercy.
"Humph!"
The arrogant Qin Manyin snorted, picked up a bayberry from the fruit plate on the table and threw it into her mouth. The next moment, her pretty face wrinkled, "Pah, pah, pah, what the hell is this? So sour!"
"Hahaha.....don't you see that this is what Yue uses to boil water to drink?"
Qin Zhiyan burst into laughter, and Qin Zhizhou and others also couldn't help laughing.
Lin Shuyue put away Erkang's raised hand, held back a smile and handed her a cup of tea, "How come your hands are so fast? I can't stop you in time. Drink some water quickly."
After that, she looked at Qin Zhiyan and said with a smile: "If you want to eat hot pot, I will ask the kitchen to prepare it early. It's not bad to eat hot pot on a rainy day."
Qin Manyin had just finished drinking the water and hadn't wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth when she happily hugged her, "That's great, Ayue, your hot pot is so good."
While chatting and laughing, Qinghe, Qingzhi and several maids and servants had already brought in five lounge chairs.
Five lounge chairs and Lin Shuyan's lounge chair were lined up in a row. Qinghe also considerately placed a small table between the two lounge chairs, with tea and snacks on it.
After serving the tea, Lin Shuyue asked Qinghe to go to the kitchen and ask the cook to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot.
Six people lay comfortably in a row, rocking in their chairs and talking.
"So comfortable! Ayue, why do you have so many chairs like this at home? No, I want to put one in my yard when I go back." Qin Zhiyan lay on the chair, crossed his legs and closed his eyes comfortably.
Before Lin Shuyue could speak, Qin Zhizhou on the far right raised his eyebrows and urged, "Buy one and try it first. If Dad hadn't broken your legs, we would have bought one too. Lead by example. Please try it for us first."
"Puff..."
The others couldn't help but laugh.
".....Brother, how could you betray your younger brother like this?" Qin Zhiyan looked at Qin Zhizhou with resentment.
"Is Big Brother as scary as you say?"
Lin Shuyue couldn't help but look over curiously. Qin Ming looked like a gentle and refined man, but how come in the mouths of his two sons, he became a scary dad with a broken leg?
"Big brother?"
Qin Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that the elder brother was referring to his father. He scratched his head and said in a cryptic way, "Ayue, you don't know, my father...my father has some problems."
"...Ah..." Qin Zhiyan touched his head and turned to look at Qin Zhizhou, crying, "Brother, why did you hit me?"
Qin Zhizhou put away the fan and rolled his eyes at him, then he rested his hands on the armrests of the recliner and explained to Lin Shuyue, who was still confused on the far left: "Ayue, don't listen to his nonsense. My father is a quirky person. Everything must be tidy, and you have to sit properly in front of him, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable. Ayan has never sat properly since he was a child, and he has been beaten for this."
"Oh~ I understand..." Lin Shuyue suddenly realized, it was obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She didn't ask any more questions. After all, he was her biological father, and it was not nice to talk about him behind his back.
After eating a peach, Qin Manyin suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and looked at Lin Shuyue next door mysteriously. "Ayue, do you know? Something big happened last night!"
As soon as Lin Shuyue heard it, she guessed what the big thing she was talking about was, so she raised her eyebrows and signaled her to continue.
"You know? Princess Shengyang was struck by lightning. I heard there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body."
Qin Manyin shook her head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, that's too miserable."
Qin Manzhen glanced at her sister helplessly and said, "My dear sister, if you could put away that gloating expression on your face, would people be more believable about what you said?"
