Chapter 60 God's Will
The prefect did not have time to pay attention to the change in Shen Yubai's facial expression, "Sir, actually this is not a big deal. As long as you give an order, this guilty person can actually become innocent."

He had a fawning smile on his face.

A trace of disgust flashed in Shen Yubai's eyes.

When he heard that the real culprit was Shen Yuexi, his face was calm and he looked very calm, without any touch, only a look of indifference on his face.

"Such a disaster has happened to our Shen family. It is a misfortune for the family. If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. This is an unchanging law and will not change due to any close relationship. The prefect does not need to take a wrong path, and there is no need to have any mistakes. If you have any concerns, we will enforce the law impartially.”

The prefect was stunned, thinking that Shen Yubai was just doing it superficially, but in fact he wanted to protect Shen Yuexi.

It wasn't until he looked up and saw Shen Yubai's cold expression that he realized that Shen Yubai was serious about exterminating relatives and insisting on fair law enforcement.

The magistrate wiped the sweat from his head and felt a sense of fear and awe towards Shen Yubai.

After all, not everyone can watch their loved ones die from torture.

Shen Yubai, who insists on "justice", and Shen Yubai, who is lost outside the light curtain, form two extreme contrasts.

Lin Yang carefully comforted Shen Yubai, "Senior brother didn't know about it at that time, and misunderstandings are inevitable. Don't blame yourself too much."

Shen Yubai closed his eyes and said nothing. If he could, he would naturally want to go back to that time to stop what he did.

Now, I can only watch helplessly with the other monks as Shen Yuexi is led to the fire, waiting for the execution at noon.

Burning at the stake will not make people die immediately, but will lead to death after suffering great pain. It is undoubtedly a kind of torture.

"Fortunately, God is also helping me and stopped my mistake in time, otherwise I would really have to bear the blame for my death..."

Shen Yubai knew what happened next, and while regretting it, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yang didn't know why and was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. He couldn't help but close his eyes and clasped his hands together to pray for Shen Yuexi.

"Look, it's getting so gloomy!"

Suddenly, a monk in the crowd exclaimed, which overlapped with the voices of the crowd inside the light curtain.

Inside the light curtain.

"Look, everyone, this day is really not the right time. It's not going to rain heavily!"

"The sky changes just as I light the fire. Why do I feel that this is not a coincidence..."

"How is that possible? What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think this little girl is harmless to humans and animals. I heard that she is responsible for hundreds of lives, and even the punishment at the stake is considered light!"

The executioner frowned, but still gave the order and lit the fire on time.

The fire was blazing, and Shen Yuexi felt that she was suffering from painful burning.

But at this moment, a "bang" and thunder were heard, like some kind of warning. Then, heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the ignited fire in an instant.

The prefect on the stage looked at this scene with some anxiety. Could it be... is this God's will?

He thought for a moment, raised his hand and said: "Execution is postponed, everyone should leave first!"

After the heavy rain, many onlookers had already run away, leaving only a few people waiting in place.

The heavy rain stopped quickly, but the firewood was soaked and could not be ignited for a moment.

The next day was a nice sunny day, but when the punishment was about to be carried out at noon, the sky and the earth changed color and heavy rain fell.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the first and second times were carried out. The third time the magistrate specially changed the execution to night, and it still rained heavily at the critical moment.

"This is God's will, God's will! Let Shen Yuexi go, let her go immediately!"

The prefect seemed to have been stimulated by something, he screamed strangely and ordered his release.

The officials were all afraid of Shen Yuexi.

Some people think that she is a blessing and is favored by God, but more people think that Shen Yuexi is some kind of terrible monster who uses magic to escape punishment.Everyone debated endlessly, and finally someone suggested throwing the unconscious Shen Yuexi into the wild and leaving him to fend for himself.

Shen Yuexi saved her life, but she was dying, with more air coming out and less air coming in.

When she woke up, she found herself locked in a small room in total darkness.

With a "squeak", someone pushed the door open and threw two steamed buns in front of her, along with a bowl of porridge.

"Eat it quickly. I thought she was a beauty, but I didn't expect she was so ugly, so I had to be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a low-level servant."

The speaker was a man with a sinister look on his face, and he kept complaining, "Who would want such a weak person to be a servant, but I can't waste my energy, it's better to sell it for a small amount of money!"

It turned out that this was a personal trafficker. When he saw Shen Yuexi on the road, he thought she was a beauty and wanted to send her to the newly appointed young prime minister, who might be able to exchange her for glory and wealth.

Who would have expected that Shen Yuexi's face was burned after being rescued, so she immediately gave up the idea and planned to take care of her for two days, and then send her to be a servant when her body was no longer so weak.

"You... who are you?"

Shen Yuexi's mind was groggy, and the burning sensation still vaguely remained in her body.

The trafficker looked at Shen Yuexi and said, "I think it's about the same. You can contact someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion to send it over."

Shen Yuexi, who was already unconscious, was still in a daze, so she was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"grown ups."

Shen Yubai's men invited people over.

Shen Yubai recognized the disfigured Shen Yuexi at a glance and frowned slightly.

He also heard about the fire scene.

At first he thought it was nonsense and did not believe in the so-called providence.

But later, he asked people to investigate, and found traces of monsters in the village.

Shen Yubai then began to guess that the matter might have nothing to do with Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yubai's affection for Shen Yuexi was almost completely wiped out by day after day of disappointment. Out of the bond of blood and only a trace of guilt, he finally bought Shen Yuexi.

Seeing Shen Yuexi's haggard expression, Shen Yubai waved her hand and said, "Take her down to eat something. There is porridge in the kitchen."

The entourage was a little surprised, but still took Shen Yuexi to the kitchen.

"My lord personally cooked this porridge for the young lady. I didn't expect you to taste it."

The entourage didn't know Shen Yuexi, nor did he know that his master had another sister.

Holding a bowl of porridge in her hand, it actually smelled a little strange. Shen Yuexi carefully scooped a spoonful of it and put it into her mouth. The taste in her mouth was even more indescribable.

It's a bit unpalatable.

But Shen Yuexi ate very happily and quickly devoured the entire bowl.

Outside the light curtain, Shen Yubai had a complicated expression and felt very uncomfortable.

He remembered that time, the first time he cooked porridge specially for Shen Yuerong.

Shen Yuerong took one bite and spat it out, saying it was unpalatable. She was extremely disgusted with Shen Yubai's craftsmanship and made no secret of it.

Shen Yubai was very hurt at that time. He tasted it himself later and found that the taste was indeed strange.

He didn't expect Shen Yuexi to eat with gusto. The food in the bowl didn't look like porridge, but more like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
