    ‘Stop fighting, stop fighting!” Madam Pan Wu panicked and tried to dissuade them.


    Unfortunately, Ji Shi and Ji Huai were already blinded by rage.


    ‘Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been having an affair with her since a long time ago!” Ji Huai spat angrily. “Not only did you sleep with her, but more than half of the young wives in Pomegranate Vige haven’t escaped your clutches!’


    ‘You bastard, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll pull out your tongue!”


    ‘Why? You’ve already done it and you don’t dare to admit it?” At that moment, Ji Huai hadpletely lost his mind. His eyes were red as he pointed at the group of people standing outside the door and sneered. “Uncle Dacheng, your son doesn’t look like you. Haven’t you thought of the reason? And Uncle Wei, guess why Auntie Wei swallowed arsenic back then? And you, you, you... You’re like a group of dogs raised by Ji Shi. You don’t dare to go west when he says go east. All these years, you’ve been like fools and listened to him!


    All of you, each one more stupid than the other!”


    Hearing Ji Huai’s revtion, the men from Pomegranate Vige were dumbfounded.


    Uncle Wei, who was the oldest among them, carefully observed Ji Shi’s expression and asked in disbelief, “Ji Shi, is what Ji Huai said true?”


    ‘No! Of course not!” Ji Shi quickly quibbled. “Ji Huai must be crazy to make up such nonsense. Uncle Wei, you have to believe me. I really didn’t do those things!’


    ‘Look me in the eye and say it!” Uncle Wei suddenly hit the walking stick in his hand hard and questioned angrily.


    At this moment, a group of bailiffs rushed over.


    ‘Who’s fighting here?” The bailiff wearing arge saber looked dignified.


    At this moment, Shen Menghu rushed forward and exined concisely.


    In the end, Ji Huai, Ji Shi, and Madam Pan Wu were all taken away by the bailiffs.


    ‘Haunted incidents are purely unfounded.” After the bailiffs left, Shen Menghu cleared his throat and faced the surrounding vigers. He said firmly, ‘Everyone saw it just now. Madam Pan Wu was afraid that others would discover her adultery, so she deliberately said that the Earth Temple was haunted! In addition, our county magistrate strongly agrees with our Shanghe Vige’s renovation of the Earth Temple!”


    ‘Therefore, I announce that we will continue preparing for the construction of the Earth Temple. After the Laba Festival, everyone can rest. Does anyone have any objections?” ‘No objections!”


    ‘Sounds good!”


    ‘Yes, we’ll listen to the vige chief!”


    ‘Uncle Huzi from Shanghe Vige is still the most reliable!”


    At that moment, the people from Pomegranate Vige, led by Uncle Wei, hung their heads and left dejectedly.


    Shen Menghu did not say anything.


    Ji Zhao, who had returned to the Shen residence, was in a very good mood. She even hummed a tune happily.


    ‘Ah Tao, are you in a good mood today?” Shen Yao, who was leaning against the bed and reading, could not help but smile when he heard Ji Zhao’s singing.


    ‘Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded happily. ‘Tm in a good mood after dealing with the two annoying bugs.


    “1 heard from Mother just now.” Shen Yao looked at her curiously. “But I’m very curious. Ah Tao, how did you know about the rtionship between those three people?”


    ’11t was a coincidence.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. As she peeled the chestnuts, she said, “From the moment Aunt Guihua saw Ji Huai and Madam Pan Wu sneakilying to the back mountain of Shanghe Vige, I felt that things were not that simple.”


    ‘Actually, when Ji Huai came to cause troublest time, I was already prepared. I spent some money to find out some gossip from Pomegranate Vige. In addition, I don’t like Ji Shi to begin with. When I was very young, he almost touched me.”


    Actually, these were all painful memories hidden in the depths of the original owner’s heart.


    When the Host was very young, Ji Shi had an ambiguous rtionship with Madam Xie. The reason why Madam Xie abused the Host repeatedly was because Ji Shi often brought some snacks like pastries for the Host.


    ‘Tm afraid no one will believe it even if I tell them. The reason why Madam Xie treated me like that was because she was jealous.” Ji Zhao took a sip of hot tea and sighed softly. “Grandfather doted on me very much, so she was already dissatisfied. Later on, even Ji Shi often brought me some biscuits and pastries. At first, I didn’t understand why Grandmother was so angry when the elders liked me. She even flew into a rage from time to time.”


    ‘Then, one day, Grandfather went on a long trip and didn’te home for a few days. During those few days, Ji Shi often came to the house. They even hugged in front of me.”


    ‘One day, when Ji Shi picked me up and was about to kiss me, my grandfather rushed back..


    The memories hidden in the depths of the original owner’s heart were very sad. “1n a way, my grandfather didn’t just adopt me. He saved me.”


    ‘Ah Tao...” Shen Yao held her hand with heartache, his gentle eyes filled with heartache.


    “It’s all in the past.” Ji Zhao smiled brightly at him and continued, ‘Shen Yao, what do you want to eat for dinner? Shall I make it for you?’


    ‘Ah Tao, I want to hug you.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and said sincerely, ‘Can I?”


    ‘Of course!” Ji Zhao replied obediently. Then, she gentlyy on Shen Yao’s muscr chest and closed her eyes.


    Shen Yao reached out and hugged her slender waist. He sniffed the fragranceing from her temples and said softly, ‘Ah Tao, I’ll protect you well in the future.’


    Although his voice was very soft, Ji Zhao could still hear the determination in his words.


    Two dayster, Eldest Brother Shen hired a carriage and brought Eldest Sister-inw Shen and Feng Chunyan home.


    At the same time, he also brought back thetest news.


    ‘Ji Shi has harmed many poor women. What’s even more terrifying is that the bailiff even dug out three to four girls’ corpses under his backyard!” Eldest Brother Shen gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve never seen such a ruthless person in my life!”


    ‘That’s right.” Sister-inw Shen could not help butin. ‘Who would have thought that such a simple and honest person would be so vicious behind his back! Anyway, the county magistrate has already ordered a strict investigation!”


    ‘The human heart is unpredictable,” Ji Zhao said as she bit into the peanut crisp. “Fortunately, evil people have their own retribution.”


    ‘By the way, Father, I also heard that the county magistrate intends to integrate Pomegranate Vige and our Shanghe Vige into one vige!” Eldest Brother Shen thought of another piece of gossip and said impatiently, “If we really integrate, perhaps this field will have to be redistributed!”


    ‘Really?” Zhao Lanhua’s eyes lit up.


    ‘Actually, Pomegranate Vige has fewer people and morend. All these years, their vige has not developed much. It’s all because the vigers arezy and hate to work,” Shen Dashan said with a serious expression.. “Back then, Shanghe Vige’s life was not easy!”
