One day, Jiang Chunian woke up to find herself transmigrated as the biological elder sister of a top-tier idol, who had been abducted for years and only recently found. She was also about to appear...
Unfortunately, this is not something she can just deny and pretend it never happened.
Jiang Chu Nian said calmly, "Ghost marriages have a long history, dating back to the pre-Qin period. However, due to their enormous expense and meaninglessness, they were once banned. However, after the Song Dynasty, they flourished again and became quite popular among the people. When children died unmarried, their parents would, firstly out of pity for their loneliness, secondly out of fear that they might cause trouble, and thirdly out of consideration for the family's feng shui, arrange a ghost marriage for them."
"Generally speaking, those who want to have a ghost marriage ask a matchmaker to help them find another family with a man or woman who died young, but there are also some who were engaged before they died, and then marry them into the family as a widow, taking the place of their husband to take care of their parents-in-law. There are also some who rely on their family's power and influence to pay a betrothal gift to buy the girl's life."
"Of course, these bad customs were abolished after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Coupled with the development of the times, the opening of ideas, and the awakening of women, these feudal remnants have increasingly little room to survive. However, it cannot be denied that there are still some places and some people who continue to perpetuate these bad habits, which has given rise to some crimes."
"Ever since the crimes of stealing young women's corpses, killing young women and selling them for ghost marriages were cracked down, a new method of ghost marriage has emerged, which is what Pang Ning is encountering now. Families who want to have a ghost marriage prepare a dragon and phoenix sticker, a huge amount of cash and three golds as a betrothal gift, and throw them on the road. If a young unmarried man or woman picks it up and spends the money, then the marriage certificate will automatically fill in the other party's information, and the marriage contract will be completed. Even if one party is completely unaware and does not obtain a marriage certificate or hold a wedding, their marriage contract is still recognized by heaven and earth. In other words, from the moment the marriage contract is completed, he or she is already married before heaven and earth, in the Book of Life and Death. And her husband or wife can rightfully take her life and take her to live in the underworld."
"In other words, this so-called betrothal gift is actually the money you pay for your life."
Jiang Chunian looked at Pang Ning and said, "You must have picked up this betrothal gift on the road about a month ago. Besides 200,000 yuan in cash and the three golds, there should have been a wedding invitation in the package. But you didn't take it seriously. You thought it was just betrothal money for someone else's wedding, but you didn't realize it was your life-saving money."
Netizens in the live broadcast room were all shocked: "So Sister Jiang wasn't wrong at all, Pang Ning really had a ghost marriage?"
"Pang Ning deserves it. She was so greedy, and now she's going to lose her life."
"You can't say that. Pang Ning's greed for petty gains is wrong, and her morals are flawed, but she's not the least likely to cause death. The most despicable thing is that these families who want to arrange ghost marriages actually resort to such insidious means. If Sister Jiang hadn't exposed it today, who knows how many more people would have suffered."
"Who says it's not true? Before this, I never dreamed that there would be such a danger in finding money on the road. Now I know, I will never be greedy again if I find money on the road again."
"That's right, never take things that don't belong to you, or you'll die without knowing how."
Pang Ning was also frightened. Looking at Lin Qinghe in front of him, he felt the threat of death. "I was wrong, I was really wrong. I didn't know anything. I thought this was someone else's wedding gift money, and that the wedding invitation also belonged to someone else. I didn't know it was a wedding invitation for a ghost marriage. If I had known, I would never have picked it up and I would never have spent the money."
"I don't want to die. I'm only 23. I'm still so young. I don't want to die."
Pang Ning raised her tear-stained face and looked at Jiang Chunian on the other side of the camera, her eyes blazing with passion. "You can save me, right? You can definitely save me, right? Please, please save me. I don't want to die. I really don't want to die. I beg you, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you."
Pang Ning knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Jiang Chunian.
Seeing this, Lin Qinghe snorted coldly, "It's no use begging her. You used my betrothal gift, and the engagement is final. Heaven and earth both approve it. As long as I don't agree to cancel the engagement, no one else can help you. You can only be my wife. Forget it, I'm too lazy to watch you continue to struggle. You should just come back to the underworld with me. Maybe you can give birth to a little kid for me next year."
Lin Qinghe reached out to pull Pang Ning.
"No, I don't want to!" Pang Ning screamed, opening Lin Qinghe's hand and stepping back. "Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Help! Help! I don't want to die, help! Wuuuuuuuu."
Lin Qinghe was very angry about the challenge to his dignity and slapped him.
"Ah!" Tang Yuxin had opened her third eye, so she could see clearly. She couldn't help but scream out in surprise. Finally, she couldn't bear to watch anymore and covered her eyes with her hands.
Lu Jing and Grandpa Tang couldn't help but frown, their hearts in their throats, not to mention the netizens in the live broadcast room.
"Fuck, what happened? Was the male ghost so angry after being exposed by Jiang Jie that he wanted to kill Pang Ning?"
"If Pang Ning was really killed by the male ghost, Jiang Chunian is also the murderer. If she hadn't asked Pang Ning to find such a place, summon the male ghost, and expose the matter, the male ghost wouldn't have been so angry and killed people."
"Are you fucking sick? If Sister Jiang hadn't told the truth, Pang Ning would have died quietly in a few days. Everyone would have thought it was an accident, not murder."
"Didn't Sister Jiang just draw a peace charm for Pang Ning? It should be able to protect Pang Ning, right?"
The amulet that Jiang Chunian drew for Pang Ning did protect Pang Ning. When Lin Qinghe's hand was about to touch Pang Ning, a force suddenly burst out from her body and knocked Lin Qinghe to the ground.
Lin Qinghe and Pang Ning were both stunned.
Lu Jing clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot. Miss Jiang just drew a peace amulet for Pang Ning."
Tang Yuxin had covered her eyes and dared not look, but she immediately let go when she heard this: "The male ghost didn't hurt Pang Ning? That's great."
Tang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Pang Ning was fine: "Sister Jiang really won't let me down."
Lin Qinghe got up, frowned and looked at Pang Ning warily, then looked at Jiang Chunian who was watching the camera: "What did you do to her?"
Pang Ning also remembered the amulet and was overjoyed. He hurriedly called to Jiang Chunian, "Master, save me."
Jiang Chunian smiled faintly: "But why should I save you? You deliberately come to pick a fight with me, wanting to ruin my reputation and make me the target of public criticism?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not that kind."
