The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1723: Chapter 625: The Reversed Female Lead (Part 14)_2

”She is not an ordinary kind person; she is a Great Kind Man through multiple lifetimes, having accumulated Merit through countless acts of kindness!”

”Oh my, no wonder her luck is so good. People often say that good people receive good rewards; she must have done good deeds for several lifetimes to have such Qi Fortune in this life!”

”...No way! Is she really not a Demon but a Great Kind Man through multiple lifetimes?”

”Haven’t you heard what the Noble from the Capital City said personally? Even Buddhist high monks have given their verdict, yet you still don’t believe it?”

”Oh dear, oh dear, we offended Erya so much before, even wanted to drive her out, are we... are we going to suffer backlash?”

”...I always said something like this would happen, that’s why our village has been so unlucky recently. During the wheat harvest, just a day away, the wheat being dried was soaked by heavy rain! We are being punished by the heavens!”

The villagers were buzzing with discussion, some were especially prone to overthinking, attributing all their recent misfortunes to offending the one with great fortune!

At once, they were filled with regret.

For those who instigated the trouble initially, they felt extreme resentment.

”He Sheng’s Wife, you run your mouth the most, always stirring up conflicts between families. You’ve been backlashed by Fubao, yet you don’t reflect on yourself and still slander Fubao as a Demon!”

Someone recalled the initial situation, pointing their finger at the mean woman.

Of course, the true instigator was He Yingying.

But people have a tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong; He Yingying is not what she used to be, she has opened a shop and established connections with the Nobles in Prefecture City.

He Yingying, and even the entire first branch of the He Family, were not people the ordinary villagers could provoke easily.

The main culprit could not be targeted, so they settled for the next best thing—scolding He Sheng’s Wife, the gossiping woman.

He Sheng’s Wife, the mean woman, saw that the crowd had turned on her and felt apprehensive.

”I, I...”

Her mouth felt dry, and her usually fluent tongue suddenly started to stutter.

”It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me! It was, it was—”

In her panic, she desperately tried to defend herself, involuntarily casting her gaze towards He Yingying.

Useless thing!

Scared already?

He Yingying cursed silently.

After coughing forcefully a few times, He Yingying gave a signal to He Sheng’s Wife, not forgetting to point her chin towards the dilapidated courtyard of the He Family.

He Sheng’s Wife’s brain reacted quickly; perhaps in this critical moment, she triggered some potential in her brain.

With He Yingying’s hint, she suddenly remembered He Yingying’s second major argument against Fubao being a lucky star—

”What Great Kind Man through multiple lifetimes? If He Erya is truly a Great Kind Man, having done good deeds for several lifetimes, then being reborn, she should have found a wealthy family!”

He Sheng’s Wife raised her neck with an expression of disbelief.

She drew a circle in the air with her hand, leading everyone’s gaze to follow her movement.

Consequently, everyone saw the not-so-elegant courtyard of the He Family and several brick houses.

Perhaps, since Fubao was born, the family situation of the He Family improved significantly, living better than most families in the village.

But no matter how good, it was still an ordinary farming family in a remote mountain village.

Not to mention comparing them to wealthy nobles, even in comparison to affluent households and gentry families in Prefecture City, the He Family was still far behind.

This did not match the Buddhist saying of doing good and accumulating virtue in this life to be reborn into a good family in the next.

Nor did it fit the description of He Erya being a Great Kind Man through multiple lifetimes with Merit Golden Light.

Chen Fu:...Hmm, it seems to make sense.

A Great Kind Man reborn should indeed be born into a good family.

”Is a wealthy family necessarily a good family?”

At this moment, a little girl who had been standing silently behind Chen Fu suddenly spoke.

Her words immediately drew everyone’s attention to her.

Seeing everyone turn to look, she slightly bent her body, not rushing to continue speaking, but first saluting Granny Li, the Yang Family, and the others.

”Slave Ji Xiang, a little maid beside the Princess Consort, specially ordered by the Princess Consort to visit the elders here and bring you to the Capital City!”

Granny Li, upon hearing someone sent by her precious granddaughter, was ecstatic.

Actually, when she had heard Chen Fu mention ”Princess Liang, Lady He,” she felt hopeful but also somewhat uneasy.

Chen Fu had only mentioned Princess Liang but hadn’t clarified that he was sent by her.

Moreover, when he spoke of Princess Liang, although his tone was respectful, it lacked a sense of intimacy.

Granny Li couldn’t help but wonder, was this person really sent by Fubao?
