Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 166

Because they wanted to play in the room, who knew that they played carelessly and directly knocked over the kerosene lamp, resulting in a raging fire.

The tiny spark immediately grew high, directly burning half of the quilt and also destroying some flammable items in the room. By the time they finally extinguished the fire, most of the things in the house had been destroyed.

The fire reached such a level that Old Mrs. Lu finally erupted.

She didn’t expect Jixiang and Ruyi to be so mischievous.

At this time, Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang were truly angry, so Xu Yuxia severely beat Jixiang and Ruyi.

This time, Jixiang and Ruyi had made a huge mistake and almost burned themselves, so Old Mrs. Lu naturally wouldn’t protect them anymore. She just watched as Xu Yuxia beat Jixiang and Ruyi.

“I told you to be careful, I told you not to be naughty, I told you not to play with the kerosene lamp, dont play with it, you little brats!”

“Mom, we were wrong. Grandpa and grandma, please save us quickly. Mom is going to beat us to death.”

“I was wrong, I’ll never do it again, someone please come and save us.”

Since it was the Lu family’s main house that was accidentally burned down this time, the neighbors came to help put out the fire.

Even Sheng Fei and Lu Ting hurriedly rushed over in the middle of the night.

A group of people saw the state of Lu Jiefang’s house, and Xu Yuxia was still beating the children. The noisy voices, discussions, and children’s cries echoed through the skies.

Sheng Fei shook her head at Jixiang and Ruyi’s antics.

Xu Yuxia and Lu Jiefang didn’t educate them well, and Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Jianguo spoiled their grandsons.

Even if Jixiang and Ruyi grew up safely now, they would still get into trouble in the future.

In the original book, Jixiang and Ruyi ended up in lifetime imprisonment for robbery and rape respectively, which resulted in the deaths of two people.

Children are like blank sheets of paper when born. They need careful guidance and education from adults. If the adults don’t set a good example, the children probably won’t have much of a future.

Seeing Jixiang and Ruyi beaten so badly, Sheng Fei also felt a bit emotional. The large fire and loud noises had also woken up the five children.

However, Sheng Fei told them to stay put at home and not go out.

Hearing the loud cries and children’s noises from over there, Lu Sanya stared with some bewilderment.

“I just heard them say something about a fire, could there really be a fire? Did you see any sparks earlier?”

“No, when I woke up you were all awake too. I didn’t see anything. Brother, did you see anything?”

“I was leaning by the window and just heard those people shouting about a fire and to hurry and save people. That’s all I heard, but there must be a fire, otherwise they wouldn’t be making such a commotion in the middle of the night. You hear Jixiang and Ruyi crying.”

“Sounds like it’s just Jixiang and Ruyi crying, and there is also a fire. But what does that have to do with us? It seems like they have been beaten.”

“I don’t care if they got beaten. They’re not on our side anyway. Remember how they used to bully us before Aunt Sheng Fei didn’t protect us? Especially Sanya, putting caterpillars in her backpack and saying she’s just a girl? Now that I hear Jixiang and Ruyi got beaten, I’m actually kind of happy.”
