Chapter 878: Chapter 881 Retribution Has Come
Qiao Duo’er carefully selected and finally chose two kinds. One was the Seven-color Poison previously used by Chen Yiling, and the other was called Hair-Loss Powder, which would cause hair loss. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
With these two, the Xiao Family would not be able to raise their heads for decades.
Just take the Xu Clan’s recent deception—the people nowadays are very superstitious and put great emphasis on karma.
What she needed to do now was to create a false impression that the Xiao Family was facing retribution.
At night, Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er quietly sneaked into the Xiao Family’s house again.
Then, Tan Zhenghong used a tube to blow a sleeping drug into the room and waited before slipping into the house, placing the drug into the water jug.
Luo Qingfeng’s skill in making poison was unmatched in the world. The poison he made was colorless, tasteless, and dissolved upon contact with water, so there was no worry about anyone noticing anything unusual.
After poisoning, Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er immediately left.
"Wife, tomorrow, there will definitely be a good show to watch," Tan Zhenghong said, confident of success.
"This is what they call ’returniing the body by the way of the person!’"
Qiao Duo’er hummed lightly, unable to wait to see the Xiao Family being pointed at by thousands.
This was called instant karma!
Having just done something bad, Qiao Duo’er was in such a good mood she didn’t feel like sleeping at all. So she dragged Tan Zhenghong to the back mountain.
At the foot of the back mountain, many fruit trees were growing, and many should be ripe by now.
Half an hour later, the two of them returned with quite a few fruits.
"You had me worried to death. I was just about to go out looking for you," Almond said with a pout.
She hadn’t expected the two of them to have gone to the back mountain to pick fruits, nearly infuriating her to death.
In a good mood, Qiao Duo’er said, "Next time we go out, we’ll definitely tell you where we’re going, so you don’t worry."
Almond nodded in satisfaction. After she had returned to her own room, she realized what she had just said. It was a good thing that Yi Ling had a good temper; otherwise, Almond wouldn’t even know how she would have died.
As Qiao Duo had expected, within a few days, everyone in Big Willow Village was discussing the Xiao Family’s retribution.
Not only had the Xiao Family’s skin changed color, but they had also become bald overnight—who could do such a thing other than a deity?
"The Xiao Family must have committed many bad deeds for heaven to send down such punishment."
"Right, today one of them was red, another purple. It scared my daughter so much she hid at home and dared not go out."
"I heard that Zheng Shi began to talk nonsense, saying she had done wrong in the past and was begging the heavens for forgiveness."
"Father Xiao has invited many monks to his home to recite scriptures and pray to Buddha. It’s unclear if it will do any good."
"What use is that? Zheng Shi needs to come clean about her bad deeds. Only if those she harmed forgive her, then perhaps heaven might withdraw the punishment."
These words almost spread throughout Big Willow Village; you could hear them everywhere.
At this moment, Zheng Shi was kneeling in front of a Buddha statue, knocking her head fervently until her forehead bled, yet she remained unaware of her wound.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, that wretched woman is still living well, and her child hasn’t died. Please spare me, spare me!"
Zheng Shi kept chanting, the buzzing of her voice adding irritation to the already hot summer.
"Stop your nonsense; it’s all the ’good deeds’ you’ve done!"
Father Xiao sat aside, his face beet red, yet his anger was still noticeable.
Ending up like this, one might as well say it was utter ruin.
What was the point of living now?
Never had he imagined that at his age, he would fall to a state where he could not show his face, a total failure.
