After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 366 Singing in Harmony

The eldest princess naturally recognized Pei Yuanshi.

She glanced at Song Lan first, then asked in a serious tone, "Evil spirits?"

"Does the Taoist priest mean that the Xue family used evil spirits to harm people, and that Xue Wan is now in this state because she is reaping what she sowed?!"

Pei Yuanshi flicked his whisk: "May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings!"

"exactly!"

The gazes of the crowd towards the Xue family intensified their fear and apprehension, prompting them to make way and distance themselves from them.

The Xue family, suddenly isolated among the crowd, were completely bewildered.

What evil spirits? What's harming people?
How did the Xue family become evil spirits harming people?!
At this very moment, when the Xue family head should have stood up to rebuke these baseless and absurd slanders, he simply stood there with a sullen face, not uttering a word.

It's as if they've already tacitly admitted their guilt.

"Father-in-law! What exactly is going on? Speak up! Speak up!"

Liu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xue family head, looked at her silent father-in-law and her husband pretending to be dead in the crowd. She was extremely frustrated and anxious.

"Father-in-law! Husband! Are you just going to let people slander us like this?"

"What exactly happened? Speak up!"

say what?
Doesn't Patriarch Xue want to speak?!

He couldn't say it!

As for the eldest son of the Xue family, he dared not say anything more.

Of course he knew that his father and his sister were involved with evil spirits and had harmed many people.

But... so what?

In the end, he got to enjoy the benefits!
They were the ones who killed him, not him. They just got a share of the spoils and enjoyed some benefits without having to lift a finger or live in fear.

Even if the truth comes out someday, they won't be able to trace it back to him.

What does he have to say? What is there to be nervous about?
That woman Liu is just making a fuss over nothing, always making a fuss. Is she trying to embarrass him?

Madam Liu wanted to get an explanation, but before she could even open her mouth, she was unexpectedly slapped by her husband and fell to the ground, staring at the eldest son of the Xue family in disbelief.

"You...you hit me?!"

"You actually hit me!!"

Liu Songyue never imagined that her husband, who had always been gentle, considerate, and caring towards her, would actually hit her!

"You deserved to be hit!"

From the moment the incident occurred, the eldest son of the Xue family always hid behind the rest of the family, fearing that he would be noticed and implicated.

From beginning to end, he always acted timidly and submissive.

Now, facing Liu, he was much more assertive and self-righteous: "Don't you even know your place? Do you have any right to speak here?"

"Who do you think you are, daring to question your elders?"

"It's just a misunderstanding. Before anyone else has said anything, you're already yelling and shouting. You're a disgrace to the Xue family!"

The eldest son of the Xue family looked as if he was truly angered by Liu.

Liu was so angry she laughed.

"face?"

"You're talking to me about the Xue family's reputation now? Your sister bullied a Song family girl for no reason and was punished by being forced to kneel in front of the Princess's residence. Your Xue family has failed in raising their daughter properly, and now you're talking to me about reputation?"

"What face do you Xue family have left?!"

Liu looked around, remaining silent and enigmatic, as if she had long been accustomed to such things. Suddenly, she understood something.

"I understand!"

She pointed at the eldest son of the Xue family: "You must have known about these things from the very beginning!"
