Chapter 1532: This Is Retribution!
....
Translator: Lonelytree
The sudden thunder on a sunny day shocked many people, followed by panic!
“A bolt from the blue! How could it be?”
“What is going on?”
Unlike modern people, the ancients did not have a scientific explanation for thunder.
They felt that lightning on a clear day was a very bad phenomenon.
It was either a great disaster or a great calamity!
Therefore, even the emperor’s expression changed drastically!
A bolt from the blue, this was not a good phenomenon!
“What’s going on with this lightning?”
“Could it be that someone has done something outrageous and is going to be dealt with by the heavens?” Someone asked in surprise.
As soon as he said this, a voice from the crowd of ordinary people behind him shouted,” This is retribution! It was obvious that the heavens wanted to punish those who disrespected their elders and unfilial parents!”
Although he didn’t name anyone, as long as they weren’t stupid, everyone knew who he was referring to.
Who else could it be other than the princess of Guguo?
That young man, Lin Dazong, had pointed at the princess of Guguo and said that she was disrespectful, unfilial, disloyal, and unjust!
Speaking of Lin Dazong, he was also terrified.
That was because he remembered the time when two bolts of lightning struck four people in Lin Family Village.
Lin Laosan and his wife, Chen Xiaoqing and her daughter!
Because of that one strike, everyone in the Lin Family Village believed that the Lin Laosan’s Family had done something evil and that the heavens were punishing them.
He still remembered that it was a sunny day back then when thunder suddenly boomed.
It was the same now.
The only difference was that the thunderous rumbles now were even stronger than in Lin Family Village.
Therefore, he didn’t understand who this bolt of lightning was aimed at.
Just as he was feeling lost and uneasy, that voice gave him inspiration.
Then, he stood up and pointed at Lin Yuelan angrily. He shouted,” Heaven is watching what you’re doing. You unfilial daughter, you’re going to get your retribution! ”
For the ancient people, the heavens would not tolerate those who were unfilial
to their parents. Therefore, G.o.d would give those unfilial people retribution.
As soon as Lin Dazong said that, many people immediately believed that Lin Yuelan’s unfilial actions might have attracted the wrath of the heavens. That was why a bolt of lightning struck on a sunny day.
“Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter!”
Someone started shouting again.
“Those who are unfilial will be punished by the heavens. Princess Gu, you unfilial daughter, your t.i.tle of Princess Gu must be abolished!”
“What right does an unfilial person have to be the high and mighty princess of Guguo?”
“Yes! Don’t bring disaster to our dynasty because of an unfilial person!
Otherwise, why would there be thunder on a sunny day?”
“That’s right! I remember that some time ago, there were rumours saying that the princess of Guguo could jinx the world. At that time, I didn’t think much of it and thought that someone was spreading rumours and slandering the princess! Now that 1 saw the thunderous roar, I was sure that it was not a rumour at all. It was not slander at all. This is real evidence!”
“Abolish the princess of Guguo!’
“Abolish the princess of Guguo!’
“Abolish the princess of Guguo!’
All of a sudden, the voices of ” Abolish the princess of Guguo ” rose and fell!
The people standing behind Lin Yuelan were so angry that their faces turned ashen!
Suddenly, Liu Jiaying rushed to the front and shouted angrily,” You… You guys are really too much! They were clearly in the wrong, so what right did they have to say that the thunder was attracted by the princess of the Guguo? You even said that Princess Gu will jinx the world! Then do you remember how the t.i.tle of Princess Gu came about?”
The agitated commoners could not hear the mosquito-like sound at all.
After that, some of the officials behind Yuwen Longyan also knelt down after receiving a signal from someone and shouted,” In order to avoid disaster for our dynasty, Your Majesty, please abolish the t.i.tle of Princess Gu!”
“Your Majesty, please remove the t.i.tle of Princess Gu!”
“Your Majesty, please remove the t.i.tle of Princess Gu!”
The ministers then knelt down one after another, asking the emperor to depose the princess of Guguo.
Yuwen Longyan’s face darkened when he heard these voices.
His sharp eyes first looked at Lin Yuelan. However, when he saw Lin Yuelan’s calm and fearless expression, his pupils suddenly constricted..
