Yun Shengsheng's little face was tense, and her eyes were wide open.

[It's all over, it's all over, Third Sister! My third sister, Yun Shuangshuang, is doomed!]

The moment her words exploded in her mind, the sisters who were chatting and laughing together froze instantly.

Yun Shuangshuang, in particular, almost had trouble breathing and nearly fainted for a moment.

The sisters all knew how capable their youngest sister was, so they naturally believed what she said was true, and they all became nervous.

Yun Shengsheng was still there, lost in her own thoughts.

[In the original storyline, I was already dead at this point. My eldest sister and brother-in-law were getting a divorce, my parents were imprisoned, and the family was in complete chaos. No one cared for my third sister, so she ran off to the county town alone, hoping to visit our parents. However, she didn't want to see them, but instead met the martial arts performer Cui Jinzhi.]

[Cui Jinzhi told her that someone was chasing him and begged her for help. Third Sister, being kind-hearted, let him hide in her oxcart and took him home. This man was a swindler who preyed on women's feelings; he had succeeded in several prefectures and counties. He completely fooled Third Sister, who stole money from home and eloped with him—ultimately, he swindled her out of all her money and sold her into a brothel.]

Yun Shengsheng sighed softly, "[Third Sister was tortured to death in the brothel in less than a year. She was not even fifteen years old when she died...]"

The older sisters felt uncomfortable after hearing her words.

Yun Pianpian suddenly said, "Um, my stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe we shouldn't go to the play!"

Yun Xiaoxiao quickly nodded, "Yes, I won't go, I won't go..."

As he was walking back, he ran into Gan Yuwan and Yun Huaikang, who were coming out.

Yun Shengsheng's thoughts were so loud that Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan could hear them clearly in the courtyard.

Gan Yuwan suddenly remembered something her little girl had muttered to herself before, something she couldn't understand. Now it all seemed to make sense.

Yun Huaikang patted Yun Shuangshuang's shoulder and whispered words of comfort.

"It's alright, with your parents here, no one can touch you."

Yun Shuangshuang stood among her family, her body stiff as a board, her hands and feet so cold they didn't feel like her own. She whispered.

"He...he lied to me about stealing money from home? How could I possibly steal money from home?!"

She didn't want to run into that person again and suffer a terrible fate.

"Maybe we shouldn't go see it."

Yun Huai'an now only wants to find this beast named Cui Jinzhi, then personally cripple him and bury him in the ground.

He sneered and lowered his voice, saying, "Let's see. Who said we wouldn't go? Not only will we go, but your mother and I will go too. I want to see what kind of person this is, daring to set his sights on our family."

When Yun Shengsheng came to her senses, she found that her whole family had squeezed onto the oxcart, and it seemed that they were going to watch the play together.

She sighed helplessly, "Okay, fine, I'll definitely stop Third Sister from getting close to that scoundrel."

But now the story has changed. My parents are both fine, and my eldest sister and brother-in-law are doing well too. I just don't believe that in such a loving family, my third sister would still be love-struck and run off with that idiot...

Yun Shuangshuang nodded vigorously.

Yes, even if the emperor came now, she wouldn't go with him...

Although I don't know what her younger sister meant by "love-struck," she definitely doesn't...

The eldest sister's mother-in-law, Zhao, was holding Cuicui. Fan Sibo and Yun Ziyan, unaware of the inside story, were very happy to be able to watch a play in the county town.

The stage in the county town was set up in the square in front of the City God Temple. From afar, the deafening sounds of gongs, drums, cymbals, and wooden clappers could be heard, along with the ringing of suonas. The area in front of the stage was packed with people, some bringing their own small stools, some sitting on the ground, and some climbing into the branches of the locust trees nearby if they couldn't squeeze in. The cries of vendors selling candied hawthorns and roasted melon seeds mingled with the singing on the stage, creating a lively atmosphere like a pot of boiling porridge.

Yun Shengsheng's family: Yun Huaikang was holding Yun Shengsheng, Fan Sibo was holding Cuicui, and the others simply stood on the oxcart so they could see further.

On stage, the performers, dressed in brightly colored costumes, sang in a melodious voice, their long flowing sleeves billowing.

Yun Huaikang and the others smiled on the surface, but their eyes searched among the actors to see which one was Cui Jinzhi.

Yun Shengsheng couldn't understand the opera script and was looking around in the crowd when suddenly her gaze stopped.

At the corner to the right of the stage, a tall, slender young man in theatrical costume, but without makeup, was leaning against a pillar backstage, talking to a young woman.

The woman, I don't know which young lady she was watching the play from, was twisting a handkerchief in her hand. Every two words she spoke, she would lower her head and cover her mouth to laugh, too shy to look up.

The young man leaned slightly forward, smiling gently, and even from this distance, you could see that the woman's ears were flushed red.

Yun Shengsheng squinted her eyes and squeezed her little eyebrows together.

[Who knows which girl he's hooking up with now. Judging by his skillful technique, he couldn't have mastered this without dozens of real-world experiences. It's definitely Cui Jinzhi, that seasoned veteran, no doubt about it.]

Why didn't someone like that get struck dead by lightning? Even a bolt from the blue would do, I'm not picky...

With a loud "boom," a bolt of lightning struck down.

The young man was just laughing and joking when he was struck by lightning, black smoke billowing from his body...

Yun Shengsheng: (⊙ꇴ⊙)

"Wait, am I that accurate? Did that person die from the attack?"

This scene was truly dramatic.

Yun Huaikang and the others were also shocked. Was their own Shengsheng too miraculous?

Then the whole family became incredibly excited.

The accident startled the opera troupe, but they were relieved to see that only one person was injured and continued performing.

As for Cui Jinzhi, she was also carried away.

The girl opposite him was also terrified by what she had just witnessed and was pulled away by her own family.

Then someone muttered a few words quietly, before their attention was completely drawn to the performance on stage.

Yun Huaikang wanted to confirm again, so he carried Yun Shengsheng and weaved through the crowd to the back of the stands.

Then I heard a few young actors whispering to each other.

"Cui Jinzhi deserved it; she finally got struck by lightning!"

"Who can argue with that? Look at all the shady things he's done. I don't know what the boss was thinking, keeping someone like that in the opera troupe."

One person lowered their voice even further, and Yun Huaikang couldn't hear them clearly.

I only caught a few scattered words—lover, control, forced to listen…

Knowing what he wanted, Yun Huaikang carried Yun Shengsheng back home. On the way, they passed a vendor selling candied hawthorns and bought several skewers.

After returning home, several of the younger children were there.

Yun Shengsheng and Cuicui sat together eating candied hawthorns.

Yun Huaikang whispered to Gan Yuwan, "It's that person."

"But today's the right time, let's try again tomorrow! We'll seize the opportunity and teach him a lesson..."

Gan Yuwan blinked and nodded.

"Castrate him!"

Yun Huaikang: "Great idea!"

The couple chuckled, and the family continued watching the play.

They didn't see that Yun Huai'an's family had also arrived on the other side.

The family watched the play happily, while Yun Linlin searched everywhere for someone.

She finally spotted her second uncle's family, then looked around frantically for the martial arts performer Cui Jinzhi, but couldn't find her anywhere. Somewhat unwilling to give up, she told her sister Yun Yaya that she needed to use the outhouse, and then secretly slipped out…
