My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 166 Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning and suffering retribution?
Yang Fang raised his hand, wanting to stroke the stray hairs on her forehead with his fingers, but Qiu Yue pushed her wheelchair back in time to avoid it, and a barely perceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

Looking at her husband's gentle demeanor as always, Lu Youtiao felt a chill run from her feet to her head. Thinking of the dead fetus, her limbs trembled and felt cold.

Dongshuang immediately stepped forward to block Yang Fang and shield her young lady behind her.

Even after all this, this bastard still tries to act like a good husband in front of others, attempting to lay a hand on the girl!

Gu Xingzhao said in a deep voice, "Lu Youtiao, give him the divorce papers."

If a girl from the Lu family wants to leave, she must do so openly and honestly through the main gate, and not be branded as a runaway wife.

Hearing the voice of her ancestor, Lu Youtiao finally calmed her turbulent emotions and took out the divorce letter she had just written from her bosom. "Yang Fang, our marriage is over. Let's get a divorce."

Upon hearing the words "divorce," and seeing Lu Youtiao holding a divorce agreement with every word on it written with unwavering resolve, Yang Fang's face turned ashen, like ink dripping into a clear pond, instantly becoming so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

Deep furrows appeared between his brows, his lips tightened involuntarily, his hands clenched into fists, and his gaze was as sharp as an ice blade, a murderous intent rising within him.

All eyes were fixed on the couple.

Yang Fang gritted his teeth, trying his best to appear calm. "Madam, my patience is limited. I don't have time to play along with your tantrums."

Lu Youtiao's voice was cold and clear, her tone filled with hatred for Yang Fang, echoing in the front yard, "Why do you need to pretend anymore? Everyone in this mansion knows that you used your serious illness as an excuse to confine me in the courtyard, everyone knows that you used the pretext of protecting the pregnancy to cruelly force me to drink abortion medicine, and everyone knows that you poisoned me!"

The servants around, upon hearing the second half of the sentence, widened their eyes in disbelief. Good heavens!

They knew that the master had placed his wife under house arrest in the courtyard, but they didn't know that the master had actually aborted the wife's child and poisoned it.
Immediately, everyone around looked at Lu Youtiao with some pity.

Yang Fang sneered, "Lu Youtiao, you want a divorce, but don't you know your own situation? Do you really think you're still the pampered eldest daughter of the Lu family?"

"What does my situation have to do with you?" Lu Youtiao clenched her fists, looking at the person in front of her. She didn't know when he had become so unfamiliar to her, or perhaps he had always been like this, but she had never truly seen him clearly.

Yang Fang scoffed, "Your Lu family was exiled, and I didn't divorce you; I even took you in. That's more than enough. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have a place to lie down now. You're not grateful, and now you want a divorce?"

He was absolutely confident in his ability to handle Lu Youtiao. Women are easy to coax; a few kind words would be just like back then, when the beloved granddaughter of the Grand Secretary of the court was so persistent in wanting to marry him.

He suddenly realized something and said with a mocking expression, "Or do you also want to be exiled along with your family, like those lowly women, and have to submit to the officials on the road for a little food and water?"

With a loud "smack!", Yang Fang was slapped hard across the face.

"You are shameless!"

Lu Youtiao stood up from her wheelchair at some point, trembling with anger. The hand that had slapped Yang Fang was still raised, slightly red, showing how hard she had used it.

Years of self-cultivation had left her so angry that she was almost fainting, and all she could manage to utter were these three words.

No one expected that Lu Youtiao would suddenly hit Yang Fang. After all, the lady had always seemed so gentle and kind, never speaking harshly to the servants, let alone hitting them.

After being slapped, Yang Fang's eyes turned sinister. He stepped forward, stretched out his arm, and grabbed Lu Youtiao's arm tightly. "Don't even think about getting a divorce!"

"Lu Youtiao, my Yang family only has widows!" Lu Youtiao was also driven to desperation, and opened her mouth to bite Yang Fang's arm, as if she wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from it.

"Ah!" Yang Fang cried out in pain and pushed the person away.

Autumn Moon and Winter Frost rushed forward to help their daughter.

Seeing the blood quickly soaking through his clothes where his arm had been bitten, Yang Fang cursed Lu Youtiao as a shrew, then roared at the servants around him, "What are you all standing there for! Madam has gone mad! Quickly seize her and these people who are trying to abduct Madam!"

The servants around them then realized what was happening and quickly surrounded the group, with the two Fang brothers holding long sticks to protect them.

Qiu Yue shielded the girl as she retreated, and angrily cursed at Yang Fang, "You, surnamed Yang! You were the one who went to the Lu family to ask for my girl's hand in marriage, and swore that you would only marry my girl in this life, but you've been keeping mistresses outside all this time. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning and punished for your behavior now?!"

Yang Fang's eyes were bloodshot as he sneered, "Struck by lightning? Retribution?"

The mocking tone made their hearts pound; they wished they could tear apart the ingrate's face.

The next second, a loud "boom" of thunder rang out, startling everyone in the courtyard!
Suddenly, a blinding bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder, as if in divine wrath, striking the ground directly.

The surrounding crowd was terrified and scattered like startled birds, with many hiding away!
The lightning struck the ground less than half a meter in front of Yang Fang, instantly scorching the ground and filling the surrounding air with a burnt smell.

Everyone in the courtyard was terrified. Was this retribution?

Qiuyue and Dongshuang were both shocked, especially Qiuyue. She had just said it casually out of anger, and the heavens actually responded by sending lightning to strike that bastard.

Yang Fang turned pale with fright. "Impossible! It's just a coincidence!" He took two steps back, glaring and shouting, "What lightning strikes? What retribution? I, Yang Fang, have done nothing wrong, I have nothing to fear!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another streak of silver lightning ripped across the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a thunderbolt struck the ground.

Yang Fang was so frightened that he fell to the ground and crawled backward as if fleeing for his life, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor.

Gu Xingzhao squinted at him. It had been a long time since he had killed someone, and he suddenly discovered a new way to play. He thought that killing someone directly would be too boring.

She said to Lu Youtiao, "Don't be afraid, take this opportunity to force him to sign the divorce papers."

The lightning struck right in front of Lu Youtiao, startling her. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the voice of her ancestor. It turned out that her ancestor had come to her aid!
She felt much more at ease.

With their ancestors backing them up, Qiuyue and Dongshuang can stand tall!

The hearts of everyone in the courtyard suddenly raced, as if their very breath had been taken away.

The thunder echoed in their ears, lingering for a long time. A look of terror froze on everyone's face, as if time had stopped. The surroundings fell silent. Everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to the spot where the lightning had struck. They knew perfectly well that the lightning was aimed at the master.

But they dared not speak out.

Someone, startled, muttered, "Karma... there really is karma."
