The next day.
The entire Marquis's residence was plunged into a deathly silence.
Only the Hibiscus Courtyard was filled with laughter.
Hua Xin brought in tea from outside and whispered to Ye Lanyin:
"Madam, this is so strange. When I went to the main kitchen today, there wasn't a single maid in sight."
"I deliberately went around to the master and the old lady's side, and I did it quietly."
Ye Lanyin put down the pastries in her hand and said with a smile, "During the Ghost Festival, I'm afraid your beloved is scared. Did the whole family go there to reunite?"
Hua Mei happened to be at the door, looking around.
“Madam, Qiaozhen said that there was some noise in the Fourth Young Master’s room at midnight. When she went to serve him this morning, he seemed to be possessed by a demon.”
Lin Wanwan pinched the chick's tail, and Luo Luo kept laughing.
[Hehe, possessed?]
[They clearly took advantage of the situation last night to get married, and it dragged on until dawn...]
Ye Lanyin was so startled that she dropped the pastry she had placed to her lips on the ground.
Lin Rui'an, who was reading a book, looked up with a deep gaze, his eyes also showing surprise.
Lin Chang'an, needless to say, was so startled when he played with the chicks with Lin Wanwan that he almost strangled one to death.
"Chirp chirp..."
Lin Wanwan was terrified. Seeing how strong Lin Chang'an was, she quickly snatched her beloved pet back from his hands.
Is my third brother trying to murder my beloved pet?
Believe it or not, I'll spank you...
Only then did Lin Chang'an notice that the chick was hiding behind Lin Wanwan in a panic, afraid of being caught by Lin Chang'an again.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, little sister."
"I didn't mean to..."
Lin Wan pouted, not wanting to pay him any attention.
Ye Lanyin feigned surprise: "Did you hear that clearly? Are you really possessed?"
But in my heart I was thinking, who did the ghost who wandered the human world yesterday marry? And what kind of marriage did he have?
“Madam, he’s really possessed. Qiaozhen says he keeps calling out something like ‘wife,’ and he’s not even dressed.”
Ye Lanyin became even more curious. She and Lin Rui'an exchanged a glance and reached a tacit understanding.
"Aunt Huaxin, could it be that you misheard?" Lin Ruian stood up and sat down opposite Ye Lanyin.
"At midnight, the gates of hell open, and evil spirits and wicked sects invade the human world. My fourth brother has a talisman in his courtyard, so how could he be possessed? And why are the others unharmed?"
"Second Young Master, that's why I find it strange. Qiaozhen said she stayed in her room all night and didn't dare to go out, so she doesn't know what happened in Fourth Young Master's room."
[Hehe, yesterday's wedding was no ordinary wedding!]
[The procession circled the entire capital, Bianjing, and all the ghosts participated.]
[The paper offerings were even made by the ghost bride herself.]
Lin Shih-ming struck gold!
[Even the money for betrothal gifts and dowry was saved.]
Ye Lanyin was taken aback.
Marrying a ghost?
Last night, she vaguely heard the sound of the door banging. Could it have been that moment?
Ye Lanyin said, "Since he's possessed, then have the servants take good care of him. When the Marquis returns from his concubine's quarters, you can go and tell him."
These matters should be taken care of by the Marquis of Zhenbei.
She's spent most of her life getting up at the crack of dawn, and now she wants to live the rest of her life for herself.
“Yes, Madam,” Huaxin replied.
Oh dear, that scumbag dad wasn't going to his mistress's place at all.
I was scared by an evil spirit last night and I'm sick now.
Ye Lanyin was stunned.
Is the Marquis also ill?
She straightened up and added, "By the way, inform the old lady about this."
"yes."
How can the old lady get up?
She fell flat on her face a few days ago and vomited for several days, so she wasn't feeling well. Last night, her grandfather took her for a nap.
Ye Lanyin swallowed hard.
No way?
So many things happened last night?
Is your mother also so adept at such elaborate games?
And... what about the mistress?
He looked at his two incredibly shocked sons, then at his daughter who was crawling on the ground competing with the chicks.
I simply couldn't help but speak up.
"If he doesn't come back, go check the outer room and see if he's dead there!"
Hua Xin and Hua Mei felt that the lady seemed to be paying special attention to the Marquis today.
He couldn't help but comfort her:
"Madam, please don't worry, I will definitely take care of this matter!"
Oh dear, my mistress had a terrible night last night.
Qu Dapeng's wife has gone to seek revenge on her mistress!
[He's probably still having nightmares~]
Ye Lanyin could no longer sit still; she stood up, suppressing a laugh.
"Quickly, Huamei, go get me a pot of wine. I want to have some fun!"
Hua Mei was taken aback. "Madam, why are you drinking all of a sudden?"
"Today is the Ghost Festival, and we have to go to the palace later. If we get drunk, it might cause trouble."
Ye Lanyin laughed and said, "Yes, yes, no wine, let's get fruit wine!"
"We're going to the palace for a sacrificial ceremony soon, so don't go to the outer chambers to inform the Marquis. He's probably too busy to come, so don't bother him. We'll take the children into the palace ourselves."
"I reckon we'll be kneeling for quite a while, so let's all have some fruit wine to quench our thirst!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Xin's eyes lit up as if she could see that she wouldn't need to accompany the Marquis to the palace.
She cleverly ran to the back room to get the wine.
"Madam, this servant will go and get it right away."
The family enjoyed their wine in harmony.
Before leaving the house, Ye Lanyin lit incense inside to offer sacrifices to the gods.
Lin Wanwan looked at the table full of offerings, then crawled under the table with her bottom sticking out, and then crawled up along the corner of the table.
A chubby little hand reached out and suddenly grabbed the glistening chicken leg.
Hehe, it's mine~
