at the same time.

Deep in the alley, there is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

The courtyard was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and a happy occasion was being prepared.

The gongs and drums were beating, making it quite a lively scene.

People came and went in an endless stream, and the largest courtyard inside was already full of people, with no room to put their feet down.

Just above the steps in the courtyard, there was a grand master's chair.

At this moment, an old man in his fifties with a weasel-like face was sitting in the armchair with his legs crossed and a pipe in his mouth.

A pointed-mouthed old lady was standing next to him, reporting to him with a smile.

"Hehe, Second Master! Everything is ready, the newlyweds can get married at any time!"

The old man nodded, sneered, and waved his hand, saying, "The auspicious time has arrived. The newlyweds may now perform the wedding ceremony!"

"Yes, Second Master!"

The old woman with the pointed mouth waved her hand, and immediately a group of men and women with pointed mouths and monkey-like faces led out a woman wearing a red veil.

"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go right now!!"

The woman struggled desperately and screamed incessantly.

"Let me tell you, I am the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xidu's mansion. If you dare to treat me like this, the Shen family will not let you off!" the woman threatened loudly.

"The eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion?" The sharp-mouthed old lady snorted disdainfully and said arrogantly, "Do you know where this place is? What is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion? Let me tell you, girl, the powerful and noble in the mortal world are not worth mentioning here. Let alone the Marquis, even if the emperor came, he would have to kneel down and kowtow to our Second Master!"

"Kneel down!!"

thump!

In the chaos, the woman was kicked to her knees.

Whoosh!

The veil was suddenly lifted.

She revealed a stunningly beautiful face, but at this moment, the woman looked around in panic, her face pale with fright.

"What, what exactly do you want?"

What are you doing?

The second master in the hall took a deep drag on his pipe, sneered, and leaned forward, saying, "My son died because of you. He wasn't even married yet. I've brought you here today to force you into a ghost marriage with my son!"

A ghost marriage?

Upon hearing those three words, Shen Manshu's eyes widened in horror, and a feeling of fear instantly spread throughout her body!
