The fortune teller's daughter has married, and all the wealthy families in the city are spoilin

The moment the golden light merged in, a thick black aura enveloped Wen Nian's back.

Instantly, thunder roared.

A huge bolt of lightning cleaved the night sky.

Everyone was trembling with fear.

Song Qingge had long, smooth eyebrows and cold eyes: "You have done things that have damaged your moral character, and now you are surrounded by negative energy. If you continue to be stubborn and unrepentant, Heaven will punish you."

In the main hall, white light poured out and shone on her, making her look like a goddess descending to earth.

Wen Nian's pupils dilated.

Could it be that the Jiang family has found out about those things?

Will not.

Unless one is knowledgeable in esoteric arts, it is impossible to detect.

She composed herself, her clear eyes glistening with tears: "Mrs. Jiang, I don't know where I offended you. If it's because of Jiang Yang..." She paused.

Her eyes darted towards Jiang Yang, her eyelids drooping, and she looked pitiful as she bit her lower lip.

It's like being bullied by Jiang Yang.

"If you want, I can apologize. My family is ordinary, unlike yours. I..."

"Hey!" He Yuanchuan broke free from Jiang Zhou and slid in front of Wen Nian to protect her. "I'm telling you, your Jiang family is almost bankrupt now, and you're still bullying people. It was Jiang Yang who used his affection for her to bully and suppress her, and now he's even bringing in this country bumpkin to turn the tables on her."

Jiang Zhou frowned.

Just as he was about to speak, his strong arm suddenly sank.

He looked up and met the girl's clear gaze.

The certainty in his dark eyes inexplicably made him believe.

Only after realizing it did I realize how absurd I had been.

They actually believed she possessed some kind of mystical power.

There's no such mysterious thing in this world.

But he didn't say anything more, just watched the girl quietly. He also wanted to know how she would help Xiao Yang.

Looking at the increasingly dense black mist and the shimmering white night sky, Song Qingge shook her head.

"Your time is running out, Miss Wen. I'll ask you one more time: as Young Master He said, did Jiang Yang really bully you? Lying will get you struck by lightning."

The night sky twinkled.

Wen Nian shrank back, hesitant to speak, when Jiang Yang's forlorn gaze fell into her eyes.

Initially, she approached Jiang Yang only because she valued the Jiang family's status, and the same was true for He Yuanchuan.

From beginning to end, what she wanted was access to high society connections; her goal of transcending social classes remained unchanged.

She has excellent grades, but that's far from enough.

For those at the bottom to rise up, hard work alone is absolutely not enough.

Therefore, she will make use of every available resource, including the men who are eager to woo her.

Now that the Jiang family is on the verge of bankruptcy, Jiang Yang is no longer of any use. It would be better to use him to establish the image of a pitiful innocent girl at tonight's high-society banquet.

As long as He Yuanchuan and other powerful figures believe in her, she can seize this golden opportunity to turn her life around.

As for being struck by lightning? She didn't believe it.

She blinked her misty, bright eyes and nodded firmly: "Of course, how could I lie and frame Young Master Jiang?"

Boom—!

The voice just fell.

A bolt of lightning struck behind Wen Nian.

It struck the black mist squarely.

Song Qingge calmly looked away, keeping her eyes fixed on the black mass behind the girl.

It dispersed quite a bit.

Wen Nian did something that damaged his moral character, and he was bound to suffer karmic punishment and divine retribution.

Doing good deeds will bring you golden light and blessings from heaven. Conversely, doing many immoral things will bring you dark energy, which will attract and drain your energy from yin and evil entities.

Cause and effect are cumulative and won't be immediately proven, because of the golden light she just infused.

She used her magic to force out the yin energy that had gathered due to Wen Nian's greed, lies, and framing. The thunder was summoned by the filthy things.

With her current spiritual power and cultivation level, she is not yet able to directly summon powerful purple lightning.

Purple Thunder is used to ward off evil spirits.

boom!

One thunderous roar followed another.

The night sky was briefly illuminated.

The onlookers looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces turning deathly pale.

"That's strange, why is the lightning only striking Wen Nian?!"

"Could it be that Jiang's new daughter-in-law was right?"

"Will Lei listen to her?"

"How could that be! It must be a coincidence. Haven't you heard that lying will get you struck by lightning?"

Although it's outrageous, this is the only explanation they can accept right now.

Wen Nian shook her head in horror: "I didn't, I didn't lie."

"Really not?" Jiang Yang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, pushed aside his third brother who was protecting him and walked towards Wen Nian.

Her heavy eyelids drooped, her tone calm yet brimming with immense disappointment: "How did I bully you? Wen Nian, why are you lying? Or did you never consider me a friend from the very beginning?"

He pressed on: "You know perfectly well that He Yuanchuan and I are mortal enemies, and you wish the other dead, so why did you approach him?"

Or was it that you initially intended to use me to fight him so you could reap the benefits?

How could you be this kind of person...?

Jiang Yang took two steps back, his burning eyes blinking rapidly.

He didn't want to cry.

Everyone, look how embarrassing it is to cry.

But I can't hold back any longer.

He glanced at He Yuanchuan, slapped him on the shoulder, and they stared at each other in silence for two seconds.

It ran away.

Song Qingge followed the direction he left in, and seeing no death aura, she did not chase after him.

A figure flashed past my eyes.

Jiang Yueming took a step and prepared to chase after him.

"Let him have some peace and quiet, he'll be back."

The Jiang family members, who had been itching to make a move, looked at Song Qingge in astonishment, then at Jiang Zhou.

The latter nodded, and they stopped chasing after them.

After a long pause, He Yuanchuan finally realized, "Oh... so Wen Nian, you actually dared to use me!"

"I don't……"

Boom!

The final bolt of lightning that cleaved through the black energy struck behind Wen Nian.

"Still saying no!" He Yuanchuan had just felt a bit bewildered, but after hearing Jiang Yang's words, he finally came to his senses.

He couldn't stand Jiang Yang relying on the Jiang family's power to form cliques and swagger around.

Everyone fawned over Jiang Yang and ignored him, so he used Wen Nian to deal with Jiang Yang.

He hated Jiang Yang to death, but based on his understanding of Jiang Yang, that expression just now wasn't a lie.

Although being struck by lightning is too far-fetched, whether it's true or not doesn't matter.

How could the dignified Second Young Master He be manipulated by a woman?

Does he even care about saving face?!

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wen Nian gritted his teeth.

Since He Yuanchuan is unreliable and a useless person to her, she might as well make use of him to the end.

Moreover, she has a secret weapon.

Once Jiang Yang's reputation is completely ruined... everyone will be on her side.

As for He Yuanchuan, if he wants to believe Jiang Yang, then he might as well go down in the same path as Jiang Yang.

Wen Nian lowered her eyes, looking pitiful: "Young Master He, you actually don't believe me, but believe Jiang Yang? Or did you conspire with Jiang Yang to bully me from the beginning? Well, in your eyes, children from ordinary families like us are nothing."

"How could you possibly help me sincerely?" She lowered her head.

The onlookers were heartbroken, and the men couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He Yuanchuan was furious and about to curse when a familiar voice came from inside.

"Your Jiang family has gone too far!"
