"What should I do?" asked Sister Yang.

Bai Mian felt Xiao Yang's pulse, then her eyes turned and a plan came to her mind. She typed, "Have you prepared everything for your wedding? What kind of wedding will it be?"

Sister Yang: "It's ready. The Ge family prepared a traditional Chinese wedding. On the wedding day, I need to wear the bride's wedding dress, and they will carry me over in a sedan chair. As early as when I was just an adult, the Ge family prepared all these things, just waiting for me to marry them, but I never agreed, so the wedding couldn't be held. Until recently, I couldn't stand the pressure anymore and nodded and agreed. The Ge family was so happy that they set off 20 strings of firecrackers on the street that day."

Bai Mian sneered, "Oh, of course they are happy that their inferior genes are going to be passed on, but it's a little too early for them to be happy."

Sister Xiao Yang asked via WeChat: “What is your plan?”

Bai Mian asked Sister Xiao Yang: "What happened in your house just now? Why did you run downstairs right after going upstairs?"

Sister Yang said aggrievedly: "After I got home just now, I went to discuss the cancellation of the engagement with my family. I wanted to ask my family to cancel the engagement. I really didn't want to marry a fool! But my parents disagreed. They yelled at me, saying that my brother and sister-in-law have only been married for three years and have not yet had a child. If I don't marry, what if my sister-in-law runs away? If the family has no descendants, it will all be my fault! So I had a big argument with them using sign language, and finally I ran out of the house in anger."

Bai Mian nodded: "I understand, you listen to me, next you go back home, admit your mistake to your family, and express your willingness to marry into the Ge family."

Sister Yang was dumbfounded: "Let me admit my mistake, are you sure?"

Bai Mian smiled gently: "Don't panic, of course I won't really let you marry him, you just need to listen to me, when is your wedding date?"

Sister Yang shook her head and said, "Our wedding date hasn't been set yet. Because I have been making a fuss and refusing to marry, the wedding date has been postponed again and again. The Ge family said that I have the final say on the wedding date, as long as I am willing to marry."

Bai Mian said to Sister Xiao Yang, "Then go upstairs now and tell them that you are willing to get married, and the wedding date is tonight!"

"Tonight?" Sister Yang was amazed. "Although everything is ready, it's too hasty. Are you sure it's tonight?"

"That's right," Bai Mian raised his eyebrows, "As long as you follow my arrangements, you will be free after tonight."

Sister Yang looked at Bai Mian with doubt, but finally gritted her teeth and agreed. She then asked, "I agree to get married, and then what?"

Bai Mian typed, "After you agree, they will ask you to put on makeup and change clothes. Don't argue. Just follow their arrangements. When the Ge family's sedan chair arrives, you will sit on it and they will carry you to the Ge family. From now on, everything will depend on me."

Sister Yang's heart was pounding. She felt that this plan was very risky. Bai Mian asked her to wear a wedding dress and sit in a wedding sedan. She might really be sent to the bridal chamber. She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to trust Bai Mian. After all, Bai Mian was her only life-saving straw.

She held Bai Mian's hand again, her eyes full of determination: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Bai Mian felt her heartbeat and gave her a firm smile:

"Don't worry."

After saying that, Sister Yang turned around and went upstairs to her home. This time she did not come out again. It seemed that she had done as Bai Mian had instructed.

Bai Mian also hurried back to Cixintang. Most of the patients in the store had left, but Que Ge was still waiting there. When he saw Bai Mian coming back, he asked anxiously, "Um... have you seen Xiao Yang? How is she? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to make her sad. I don't know what I said wrong. Anyway, it's all my fault. I hope she won't be sad anymore!"

Bai Mian smiled and said, "She is getting married tonight."

"Ah?" Lame Brother was shocked. "So soon? It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it's almost time for dinner. Is it too late to hold the wedding now?"

Bai Mian shook his head: "There was no wedding. The family she was marrying into was very poor and could not afford a wedding. They just carried her over in a sedan chair and that was it."

Lame Brother was very sad: "Oh, oh, oh, Xiao Yang, how could she marry such a family? After she got married, she even had trouble getting food. I thought she married a rich man. Really, if I had known this, I wouldn't have congratulated her so much. It must have touched her heart. Alas, no wonder she didn't invite us to the wedding banquet. It turns out there was no wedding banquet at all!"

Bai Mian: "Although there won't be a wedding banquet, we still have to go and show our support. The ceremony is simple, and we can also add some popularity."

"You have a point," Lame Brother thought for a moment, "but Xiao Yang didn't tell you the address, how are you going to get there?"

Bai Mian smiled again. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lame Brother: "Did you forget? I can tell fortunes. Just let me feel your pulse. What else do I not know?"

It was almost time to get off work, and Gao Jin was already in the kitchen cooking dinner. Just as she had cut a piece of cucumber, Bai Mian called out to her, "Master's wife, stop cooking, let's go support Sister Xiao Yang!"

Gao Jin rubbed his hands hesitantly: "This... She didn't invite us at all, and she didn't even prepare a banquet. Is it appropriate for us to just go there? It seems a bit rude..."

Bai Mian smiled and said, "It's perfect. It couldn't be more perfect! Master, let's get off work early. Let's go to attend Sister Xiao Yang's wedding!"

Weng Xuhua was confused by Bai Mian's actions, but out of trust in Bai Mian, he nodded in agreement.

"We can't go empty-handed. We must bring a red envelope," Gao Jin said anxiously. "Oh no, it seems that there is not enough cash at home. Old man, do you have any cash? We need new bills. New bills look better!"

Weng Xuhua stood up and started searching the store. While they were searching, Bai Mian returned to his bedroom alone and snapped his fingers at the air:

"Ling Di, come out!"

The system's voice soon rang out in the air: "Host, what's the matter?"

Bai Mian said, "Awaken the next skill for me now. Oh, and I want a specific ability this time—I want the illusion technique, which allows me to change anyone's appearance at will."

"No problem, host."

The system's joyful voice rang out in the air again. Apparently, the system was also waiting to see the show.

A golden light flashed in the air. Bai Mian closed his eyes and suddenly a strange spell appeared in his mind - Hei Wujini Nama Mian.

"Reporting to the host, your new skill has been awakened. As long as you stare at the object you want to change, recite this spell, and think about the appearance you want to change, you can change the designated target into what you want." The system said, "In addition, you have obtained 40 points of good karma today. The current good karma value is: 320."

After saying this, the system went offline. Bai Mian tried the spell in front of the mirror and indeed, he turned himself into Sister Yang.

Bai Mian returned to the first floor. Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin were still busy looking for banknotes. All the money in the store was old, and Gao Jin couldn't find any new banknotes no matter how hard he looked.

Lame brother yawned and said, "Forget it, Madam Boss, we can find an ATM to withdraw money later. Let's go quickly. If we don't leave now, the wedding will be over."

Bai Mian directly took Gao Jin's hand and led her out: "Let's go, Master's wife, there is no need for money. Our ability to go is the best gift for her."

Weng Xuhua and Gao Jin were urged out of the door by Bai Mian. Lame Brother looked back and picked up the phone on the table: "Oh, the phone is still live streaming. I forgot about it. I'll turn it off now."

Bai Mian snatched the phone and said, "No need, just leave the live broadcast on. I can use it."

"Ah, you want to broadcast Xiao Yang's wedding live?" Lame Brother asked carefully, "Have you got her consent? I'm afraid you might accidentally make her sad again."

Bai Mian laughed: "Ha, don't worry, she will agree 100%, I am saving her."

Seeing Bai Mian's excited expression, Weng Xuhua saw something: "My little disciple, you are not just attending the wedding, what exactly are you going to do?"

Bai Mian did not deny it, and directly admitted: "Yes, not only will I attend the wedding, but I will also make trouble in the bridal chamber to help them add some joy!"

"Making trouble in the bridal chamber?" Lame Brother looked at Bai Mian in surprise, "Didn't we just criticize this kind of behavior? How could you do such a low thing?"

"Don't worry, this is not the same thing as that," Bai Mian urged, "Hurry up, or you'll miss it."

Weng Xuhua felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he decided to follow Bai Mian.

Ci Xin Tang was not far from Xiao Yang's home, and they walked to the downstairs of the apartment building, just in time for the wedding sedan to pick up the bride. Xiao Yang, who was dressed up, was supported by her parents and came to the front of the sedan, with her brother and sister-in-law standing behind her.

Bai Mian took a look and saw that her brother was big and strong with ordinary looks, but her sister-in-law was pretty. She was holding a spicy strip in her hand, with saliva constantly dripping from her mouth. She looked like a child and it was obvious that she had no idea what she was doing.

"It seems that all of Xiao Yang's family members are disabled, so is she going to marry someone who is also..." Only at this moment did Lame Brother truly understand Xiao Yang's situation, and he sighed heavily.

Little Sister Yang walked to the door of the wedding sedan, and her father helped her lift the curtain of the sedan. Her mother reluctantly told her in sign language: "Daughter, I have raised you to this age, and I really don't want to let you get married, but there is no other way. Daughters will eventually get married. When you get there, you must serve your parents-in-law well and listen to them, so that they won't embarrass you. You must be obedient and sensible!"

Looking at her mother's tearful eyes, Bai Mian sneered in her heart. It was her who forced her daughter to get married, and now she was the one who was reluctant. It was really funny! She wanted to use her daughter to make a deal, but also had to save face. She was just like a pig farmer who said he was reluctant but still sent the pigs to the slaughterhouse.

Lame Brother also noticed something was wrong. He whispered in Bai Mian's ear, "Is this... is this marriage Xiao Yang willing to marry?"

Bai Mian didn't answer, but patted his shoulder: "Wait, you will have to do me a big favor later."

Xiao Yang's mother gave a lot of long-winded instructions, but Xiao Yang remained expressionless. When she finally finished, Xiao Yang turned around and happily got into the wedding sedan. Her father reluctantly lowered the curtain, and a group of sedan bearers carried her away.

Xiao Yang's parents and brother and sister-in-law stood there. Lame brother asked curiously, "Why are you just standing here? Aren't you going to see her off?"

Her parents didn't react, and Lame Brother slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot you are all deaf and dumb."

Bai Mian said to Que Ge, "This is their custom. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. When a daughter marries into her husband's family, her parents will not follow her. From now on, Sister Yang belongs to her husband's family and will be disciplined by them."

The lame brother was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "What era is this? Why are we still so feudal? Her parents can't go with her, but her brother and sister-in-law can go, right?"

Xiao Yang's brother stood there and watched the sedan go away, his face full of joy, not feeling sad at all. His stubborn sister was finally willing to get married. Now that the marriage was successfully arranged, his wife was secure and he finally didn't have to worry anymore.

He was just feeling happy when a mobile phone suddenly appeared in front of him. It was handed to him by Lame Brother. On the memo of the phone was written:

You are Xiao Yang's brother, so you should go and see her off, right?

Her brother drooped his face and shook his head. Lame brother took back the phone, deleted the previous words, typed another long paragraph, and handed it to him anxiously:

Your sister passed away just like that. Apart from the bearers of the sedan chair, there was no one to see her off. It was too sad. It would be nice if you could come with us to see her off, even if it would add a little popularity.

Her brother impatiently pushed away Lame Brother's phone. He didn't care about these things. As long as his sister could be married off, he didn't care about anything else. Even if his sister was abused after getting married or even died, it had nothing to do with him.

Lame Brother was getting anxious. Bai Mian took Lame Brother's phone and typed a new message on the memo:

We have prepared a red envelope for the bride. If you go to see the bride off, the red envelope will be given to her natal family. If no one goes to see the bride off, then it will have to be given to her husband's family.

After hearing these words, her brother's eyes lit up. He nodded vigorously, shook off his sister-in-law's hand, and trotted off to chase the sedan chair.

Lame brother was so angry that he laughed: "What the hell are Xiao Yang's family members! They only care about money. It's really hard for Xiao Yang to be born in this family."

Bai Mian showed a sly smile and pulled a few people together to see the bride off. Before leaving, she looked back at Xiao Yang's sister-in-law. The woman was eating spicy strips intently, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"Three years ago, she was probably carried here like this." Bai Mian muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Lame Brother didn't hear clearly.

Bai Mian shook his head: "Nothing."

The wedding sedan passed through Qingshui Town in a deserted manner. There were no firecrackers or streamers, and no one came to congratulate. Xiao Yang sat inside, feeling more and more desolate. As the sedan got closer to its destination, she began to get nervous. She couldn't help but wonder, why was Bai Mian still not moving at this time? Was she really going to be sent to the Ge family?

Just as she was daydreaming, she received a WeChat message from Bai Mian -

"Now to the bathroom."

Xiao Yang hurriedly lifted the curtain, patted the sedan bearers on the shoulder, and signaled to them that he wanted to go to the toilet.

There happened to be a public toilet nearby, so several sedan chair bearers stopped, put down the sedan chair, and let Sister Yang go to the toilet.

Taking advantage of this time, Bai Mian walked to the sedan chair, took out a few small red envelopes from his pocket and gave them to the sedan bearers, saying to them: "Brothers, you have worked hard on the journey. Here is a hundred yuan. Take it and buy some ice cream. Take a rest. Don't get heatstroke in such a hot day."

The sedan bearers happily accepted the red envelopes and went to the nearby shop to buy things. After all, they had walked such a long way and everyone was hot and thirsty.

Seeing the red envelope, Xiao Yang's brother's eyes turned red. He asked in sign language, "It's almost time. Where is the red envelope you mentioned? I'll keep it for Xiao Yang."

Bai Mian ignored him, but winked at Lame Brother and whispered, "Take him to the women's restroom."

"Are you sure?" Lame Brother's face was full of question marks.

Bai Mian did not repeat it a second time. She walked straight to her brother and grabbed his arm. Seeing Bai Mian take action, Lame Brother also hurriedly followed. Although he did not understand what Bai Mian was going to do, he believed in Bai Mian.

Lame Brother was a lame man, but he was extremely strong. He locked her brother's right arm from behind and kicked him on the butt, subduing him directly. With the help of Bai Mian, he took Xiao Yang's brother into the women's restroom.

Sister Yang looked puzzled and said in sign language: "Why did you bring my brother in here?"

Bai Mian sent her a WeChat message: "Get out."

She knew that Sister Xiao Yang was a soft-hearted person and still had some affection for her brother. If Sister Xiao Yang was here, it might hinder her plans.

Sister Xiao Yang went out obediently, and Brother Lame stayed here to control her brother. Bai Mian walked up to her brother, snapped his fingers, and said:

"From now on, you are a bride. You are going to get married soon. There is a wedding sedan waiting for you outside. Go out and get on it."

Although her brother was deaf and dumb, Bai Mian's magic still worked on him. His eyes became dazed and he nodded shyly. Lame brother let go of his hand and he had no intention of running away.

Lame Brother was amazed: "Your hypnosis skills are really powerful. If a bad guy gets hold of your ability, what will happen?"

Bai Mian looked at Que Ge calmly: "You go out too."

"I want to go out too?" Lame Brother pointed at himself unwillingly, "You are treating me as an outsider. Is there anything I can't see?"

Bai Mian glared at Lame Brother and said, "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. This is the women's restroom. If someone sees you, you will arouse suspicion!"

Lame Brother wanted to say something else, but Bai Mian kicked him, and he had to walk out reluctantly.

When only herself and Xiao Yang's brother were left here, Bai Mian breathed a sigh of relief. She looked into his eyes, silently recited a mantra, and thought of Sister Xiao Yang's figure in her mind. When she finished the mantra, the big man in front of her instantly turned into Sister Xiao Yang's appearance.

He had a slim figure, red lips and white teeth, and his every move was like a shy girl. Even the wedding dress he wore was the same as Sister Yang's. Except for Bai Mian, no one could tell him apart from the real Sister Yang.

Bai Mian led him out of the women's restroom with satisfaction. After seeing him, Lame Brother's eyes almost fell to the ground. He shouted, "What's going on? Why are there two Xiao Yangs?!"
