Of course they were upset. After all, it was the new year, so who wouldn't want their life to be peaceful and lively?

However, with Chen Mu Mu, not only was the person wrongly accused of being a demon, but someone had also died at home — it was as unlucky as it could get.

However, the death of the Daoist Priest was not a man-made but an accident. Instead, it was a divine punishment sent down by the heavens. Therefore, although the villagers all thought that the dead were unlucky, no one was responsible for the Daoist Priest's death.

After all, Chen Mu Mu was the greatest victim.

Although the victim... He took the opportunity to extort a large amount of money from the villagers.

The matter was suggested by the Madam Niu, and currently, she was struck by lightning until she was only half of her life left. It would be disrespectful of her to be old age, but being in such a dire situation, the villagers were unable to do anything to her, so they could only let the relatives of the outer sect of Madam Niu carry her back. As for Xiao Sezi, after the rain stopped, the villagers found a place to bury him.

Because the Daoist Priest was struck to death by lightning, the villagers all felt that it was unlucky and hurriedly left after burying the person.

Chen Mu and Lu Jinfeng stood in front of the grave in silence for a long time.

Lu Jinfeng saw her unsightly expression, sighed, and said: "This is not your fault, the Taoist is courting death, if not for your sudden intelligence, I am afraid that the person lying in the grave right now is you, no, as long as it is a demon who is being burnt, you do not even have a burial ground."

Not a complete corpse.

Chen Mu Mu pursed his lips, "I know, he deserves it."

Towards someone who wanted to kill her, she did not have any good intentions. However, although the Daoist Priest was vicious, he was also a human life.

In order to live, those unfavorable factors should be eliminated. However, if the factor was a person's life, it would be impossible to do so even if one did not mind.

In the beginning, she only wanted to discredit the Taoist, humiliate him in front of all the villagers, and then break both his legs to teach him a lesson. She did not want his life.

After all, to the young woman who was living in the new era of the twenty-first world, any means were too excessive. There was only her life … It was priceless.

This Daoist Priest's death was not worth lamenting. However, the fact that this Daoist Priest had died in such a manner could not help but cause people to sigh.

"Lu Jinfeng, this time, do you think I am vicious?"

"It's not poisonous." Lu Jinfeng's face did not reveal a trace of emotion, but there was no mercy in his eyes either, "The heavens have done something wrong, but the people have done something wrong, and can't live on. You did some things, but the person who truly wants him dead, is the heavens. Besides, your methods are also to protect yourself. If he's perfectly fine, you'll be the one in trouble. "

Lu Jinfeng scoffed, "What's there to sigh about? He could harm you just for your own benefits in your two lives, what right do you have to be merciful to him?"

He turned his head and looked at her, an unknown light dancing in his eyes. "Chen Mu Mu Mu, you taught me that being merciful to an enemy is akin to being cruel to yourself."

Chen Mu was stunned. Looking at the young man's cold expression, as well as the worry in his eyes, a warm feeling arose in his heart.

This kid was trying his best to persuade her, so that she wouldn't feel bad about the burden on her heart.

But she, Chen Mu Mu Mu, had never been a kind-hearted person. She was somewhat regretful about the passing away of a life, but that was the person who had harmed her. How could she feel any guilt?

Thinking of this, he smiled: "Although the rain has stopped, it might rain again. Let's go back."

Lu Jinfeng nodded, and followed behind her, walking the entire way, he looked to be deep in thought.

As Chen Mu walked along, he noticed that the other party hadn't made a single sound. He then asked curiously, "That Taoist is dead. I don't think you're feeling too sad for him. Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"

"Not sentimental." Lu Jinfeng looked up at her, deep emotions sweeping across his eyes, "I'm just thinking, am I too useless?"

"Hmm?" Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at him in puzzlement.

Isn't this sentimental?

"My own mother wasn't able to protect well, and I wasn't able to protect well the people I like. This house, is also casually taken care of by others." Lu Jinfeng was startled, he looked up at the sky, "Even if I do everything, I will still have to rely on you. Chen Mu Mu, you must be looking down on me. "

"I do look down on them." Chen Mu Mu Mu replied as he accepted the gift.

The sentimental youth immediately turned his head and looked at her with eyes filled with grief.

This woman, who doesn't feel sad? How is it that she is different from others?

If he was comforted by a few good words, would he die?

Shaking his head, a trace of stubborn pity flashed across his eyes as he said indifferently, "Lu Jinfeng, the phoenix also started out as a young bird and no one was unparalleled strong from the very start. You are indeed incapable now, so don't say that you are looked down upon.

Sometimes, a venomous tongue is detestable, not because it is slanderous, but because it is too much of a fact, too unpleasant to listen to.

However, that was a fact after all. But reality, no matter how much he tried to avoid it, he couldn't.

"So, you have to recognize yourself and work hard to enrich yourself until the day comes when you become so strong that no one will dare to bully you."

Lu Jinfeng looked at her in shock. After a long while, he finally said: "Normal people would find it hard to accept words from your mouth."

"Good medicine is better than bad, good words are better than good." Chen Mu lowered his brows and gently smiled. "Those who think that my words are unpleasant to hear are the ones who are like rotten wood, unable to be sculpted into statues. Those who accept my words and become stronger are the true men who can support the heavens and earth, the ones who make others look up to them."

Lu Jinfeng thought for a bit, then laughed: "What you said does make sense."

The two of them headed towards the Lu Manor. As they did not look back, they did not see a figure peeking out from behind a tree in the forest, kneeling in front of the grave with a bag and bag on his back.

"Master, your unfilial disciple has come to see you."

Other than the fact that it was unlucky for their family to die and that their new year was going to end in a bad one, Chen Mu and the others didn't seem to have any problems with their lives.

The villagers had been disgraced after participating in the injustice done to the Lu Family and Chen Mu Mu. Now that they saw Chen Mu Mu, they felt somewhat embarrassed and had even taken a detour to avoid him.

Of course, being embarrassed was one thing, but the biggest factor was still owing Chen Mu Mu 100 copper coins. Who was willing to hang around in front of the creditor? Those who could write IOU would definitely not be able to afford it in a short period of time.

With that in mind, Madam Niu, who was one of the main culprits of this embarrassing event, was unavoidably scolded and angered by the villagers.

If not for Madam Niu, how could they have become despicable people?

If it weren't for Madam Niu, how could they have waited for Chen Mu to be punished and then owed her money?

If it weren't for Madam Niu, how could they possibly be so worried about seeing a dead person in the new year?

When people are stuffed, when they do things, they unconsciously bring out their emotions. When they look at Madam Niu again, it didn't look good no matter how they looked at it.

Thus, under the various arrangements and boycotts of the villagers, a new round of the best Bane was born in Xingyu Village.

"That Madam Niu killed his own husband, and his own son!"

"That Madam Niu abandoned his own daughter, bullied his own daughter-in-law, and even caused his own son to be imprisoned!"

"That Madam Niu, has really harmed Old Lu's family. Look, the men and women in his family, are sick, die, some are imprisoned, some have cut off ties, they are simply a great calamity, whoever is close to him will be in trouble!"

"That's not it, Xiao Sezi had opened her Taoist temple well and was invited by the wrong person, and angered the heavens, bringing about the divine punishment!"

"I don't think the Madam Niu is to be blamed for this. My nephew had investigated about it, Xiao Sezi is always getting incense and taking money, he has done a lot of heinous things. The heavens are hacking him, he has done too many evil deeds!"

"So what? If it wasn't for Madam Niu giving Xiao Sezi money and making him do something shameful, he wouldn't have caused Xiao Sezi's death! That's right, all the Daoists are looking at the sky, the one to be punished by the heavens, is not only Xiao Sezi, but the Madam Niu as well! "

"In my life, this is the first time I've seen a living person being punished by the heavens. This Madam Niu, he has done so much to hide from our backs!"

Everyone was lying to him, their bones were destroyed. The strong power of public opinion scared the Madam Niu Sect so much that they did not dare to come out.

Her skin was thick, but under so many gazes of disgust and complaint, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

What made Madam Niu's heart thump was that even her family felt that she was a calamity. Before she could recuperate, they had thrown her out of the door, leaving her to fend for herself.

That day, when they were struck by lightning, Madam Niu's family members had personally experienced what it meant to be implicated. Humans were selfish by nature, not to mention that it involved their own safety and anger. Everyone in the Niu Family wanted to stay far away from the Madam Niu.

Madam Niu, who didn't have the support of her family brothers, suddenly lost her backer. In Xingyu Village, there weren't many people who liked her, so she could only live with Little Fatty. Furthermore, Little Fatty was usually spoiled by Madam Niu Lu Daquan, where would he be able to wait on others, or even feel hungry, or even beat him up or scold him.

Madam Niu suddenly felt that she could understand how the Madam Li felt in the past.

All were forsaken and left alone.

Now that her son's wife was in prison and this grandson didn't like her, how long could her broken body last?

This was the first time that Madam Niu had the thought of doubting life. Did she become unnecessary in this world?

Just as the Madam Niu was upset and was preparing to jump into the river to commit suicide, a sudden piece of good news shattered her discouragement — the new Emperor had ascended to the throne and had granted the world a general pardon.

Lu Daquan and Madam Luo were guilty of attempted murder. Because they were accomplices, they only had five years of imprisonment.

Logically speaking, even if the Emperor pardoned the world and released the criminals, it wouldn't be Lu Daquan's and Madam Luo's turn. But Madam Luo's elder brother worked hard and managed to get tenth place in the Hall Competition.

In order to curry the favor of the assistant minister, the prefect took advantage of the new emperor's general pardon to release Lu Daquan and the Madam Luo ahead of time.

When the whole family reunited, Madam Niu cried like a child while hugging Lu Daquan.
