Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 154: Famous Across Ten Villages 9

A long time after everyone departed the construction site, Jiang Yeqian took a deep breath. He looked at a stunned Si Jin and asked rather wryly, “How are you going to explain this matter?”

“Explain what?” Si Jin turned his head and countered innocently with round eyes.

“You were involved with Qi Yuancheng’s death by lightning, right?” Jiang Yeqian did not bother to play dumb with him.

“Who do you mean? As if!”

Si Jin looked a little sullen. He seemingly jumped as he said, “Do I command God for lightning to strike? Are you an idiot? Am I the God of thunder? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Saying this, he patted his chest. Looking a little scared, he said, “My heart is pounding with fear, and it still hasn’t recovered until now.”

Jiang Yeqian, “….”

Si Jin patted his chest firmly for some time then turned his head cautiously to look at the serious Jiang Yeqian. He gulped and asked nervously, “How—how are we going to let her know about this when we get back?”

Jiang Yeqian said, “You let her know. You did it.”

“How is it me who did it? You’re talking nonsense~!” Si Jin was so anxious, his eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and he was on the verge of crying. He stomped his foot on the spot and turned his head, his eyes teary. Donning a look as if he had been bullied, he accused, “I’m going to tell sister that you bullied me.”

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

This person had a completely different aura from the youth with the dismal presence and irritable eyes. It was as if they were not the same person. Split personalities perhaps?

Si Jin wiped his tears, looking aggrieved. Based on his current state, Jiang Yeqian was almost certain that if Qi Qingyao was around, he really would just press himself against her shoulder and cry for hours on end, telling her how much he had been wronged.

He kept all the doubts at the bottom of his heart for the time being.

With such a big incident happening at Linquan Village, those who had come to watch the scene told their tales as they headed back. As a result, the news had spread quickly to the other villages and….the town.

A living person had been struck to death by lightning in broad daylight! It was really a topic worth discussing.

Qi Qingyao had not gone out at all because she knew a lot of things were happening outside today. In the end, seeing the servant laughing so hard at dinner, she asked nonchalantly.

“Mister? I saw that it was so lively outside, what happened this time?”

“Oh missy, don’t you know? I heard someone was struck dead by lightning in broad daylight.” The servant could not help laughing, unable to keep the corners of his mouth closed.

“Pfft—” Qi Qingyao immediately spat out her sip of oolong tea.

The servant thought Qi Qingyao did not believe him and hurriedly explained with wide eyes, “It’s true, you have to believe it, missy. Someone was really struck dead by lightning in broad daylight!”

Qi Qingyao wiped the tea off her clothes. She pursed her lips and asked while holding back her laughter, “Who is it? How unfortunate for them.”

The servant scratched his head, “That, I don’t know. I heard they were from a nearby village. It just happened this noon.”

Qi Qingyao laughed out loud, “If that’s the case, that person definitely did not pay their respects to the Koi God usually.”

“Isn’t that right? They must’ve done so many bad deeds every day to have angered God so much that He’d even conjure a lightning bolt in broad daylight to kill them. “The servant exchanged a few words and joked with Qi Qingyao before he left the room.

Qi Qingyao did not take this matter to heart. She only treated it as a minor incident and had dinner with the children as usual. During the meal, the children obviously heard about the gossip and asked Qi Qingyao who was struck to death by lightning. Qi Qingyao shook her head and said she did not know.
