Chen Feng's words didn't sit well with Cheng Yuhuan.
In her opinion, the saying "good deeds are rewarded, evil deeds are punished" is pure nonsense.
Her personal experiences and observations over the years told her that those who do good rarely end up well, while those doing evil might not have a great end later, but at least they've lived in glory, and many have even ended well, while the good ones ended up in misery.
Take Ma Laoliu, for example. He's been lending at high interest for years, driving many families to ruin and separation. But did he ever get his comeuppance?
Not only did he face no legal consequences, but even heaven didn't punish him. On the contrary, it favored him: his parents were healthy, his family was happy, and he had both a son and a daughter.
