Chapter 101 The Suspended Soul Silk Begins
Liu Ruoyi gave a bitter smile as she said this: "I overestimated my importance in his heart."
"Could it be that he has found another noble lady to marry?" Liu Mingyuan guessed.
Liu Ruoyi sighed softly and said, "If only it were that simple."
She turned slightly, looked up at the window, and saw the twinkling stars outside, but they couldn't be reflected in her beautiful eyes.
She no longer felt involved in the world; all she could do was observe.
What happened next was like a storm; before Liu Ruoyi could even react, everything was over.
The Liu family discovered that she had gone out to do business, and even more so, they discovered that she and the scholar had secretly pledged their lives to each other.
At this time, a powerful family, more prestigious than the Liu family, wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Liu family, and the marriage partner they chose was Liu Ruoyi.
For the sake of their family's interests, the Liu family approached the scholar's mother, and the two sides cooperated to pretend to agree to the marriage agreement between Liu Ruoyi and the scholar.
On their wedding day, Liu Ruoyi's bridal sedan chair was sent to a wealthy family's house, while a noblewoman who was also a housekeeper was sent to the scholar's bridal chamber.
Both the Liu family and the scholar's mother got what they wanted, and the outcome was perfect for both sides.
From that moment on, Liu Ruoyi and the scholar's lives were plunged into darkness.
Liu Ruoyi resisted desperately, but ultimately died on her wedding night.
Her spirit, dressed in a red wedding gown, found the scholar's house, only to witness the scholar and the noblewoman's intimate scene. Thus, resentment arose, and she transformed into a vengeful ghost in red. Unable to reincarnate due to her lingering resentment.
The room was completely silent.
Bai Ling stepped forward, extended a corner of her white silk cloth, and patted Liu Ruoyi's shoulder.
She turned to look at the crowd, her eyes calm, as if what she had just said were other people's experiences.
"I'm not even sure what the source of my resentment is, so how can you help me?"
She tilted her head slightly to look at Shao Yanzhe and the others, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Zhou Jiming and the others subconsciously looked at Shao Yanzhe; they really didn't have that ability.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shao Yanzhe casually stroked Xuan Yao's smooth, soft fur, his mind racing.
Then, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
So, with a somewhat strange expression on his face, he looked at everyone and told them the method he had come up with.
"This...this really will work?"
The group hesitated when faced with Shao Yanzhe's method, but having no better options, they could only reluctantly agree.
Liu Ruoyi, who had initially shown no emotion, still had a hint of surprise on her face, but she quickly calmed down.
Three days later, at the Liu family's residence.
The head of the Liu family was finishing his meal in the central hall when a servant came in.
"Master, the Qian family head has arrived."
The Qian family head he mentioned was the powerful clan that had previously wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Liu family.
Just as the head of the Liu family stood up, another servant walked in.
"Master, the two from the Li family have arrived."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Liu family frowned, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes.
The Li family member mentioned by the servant was the scholar and his mother who had previously pledged their lives to Liu Ruoyi. He had no idea why the Li family would come to visit again.
Thinking about these things, he stood up and walked out, and soon bumped into the Qian family patriarch and his son, the young master of the Qian family, who were walking towards him.
Behind them followed Li Shusheng and his mother.
Seeing two completely unrelated groups of people walking together, Liu Jiajia frowned imperceptibly.
The servants in this house have become increasingly outrageous, actually bringing such a distinguished guest here!
Thinking this, the head of the Liu family smiled warmly and extended his hand toward the Qian family.
"Sorry! Sorry! I'm late and have kept you waiting!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the head of the Liu family asked with a puzzled expression, "May I ask what brings you here to see me?"
Unexpectedly, the head of the Qian family looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't you send someone to invite me? You said you had something important to discuss with me."
Li Shusheng, who had been ignored, chimed in from the side: "That's right, it was indeed you who sent a servant. My family sent word that they had something urgent to ask me."
The head of the Liu family looked rather grim upon hearing this. He turned to the steward beside him and asked, "What exactly happened?"
The butler standing nearby was sweating profusely; if such a thing really happened, it would be his responsibility.
He quickly bowed his head and said, "I'll go and see what's going on."
As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the door to see which audacious fellow had summoned everyone without orders.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Liu family composed himself and instead smiled.
"Please excuse my poor appearance!"
“In that case, I will not stay here any longer. I would like to trouble the head of the Liu family to find someone to take me to pay my respects to Miss Liu.”
The speaker was Li Shusheng.
His face was completely calm, his eyes were blank, and he looked like a lifeless puppet.
"What Miss Liu? She is my Qian family's daughter-in-law. I advise certain irrelevant people not to think about anything unnecessary." The one who spoke was the son of the Qian family head, the one who almost married Liu Ruoyi.
Li Shusheng acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his dark eyes fixed on the head of the Liu family.
Upon seeing this, the son of the Qian family patriarch's face suddenly turned ugly, and his gaze towards him seemed to be filled with venom.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Liu family knew that this scholar Li would not give up until he achieved his goal.
He then looked at the butler beside him, signaling him to take his men away.
The steward received the order, stepped forward, whispered something in Li Shusheng's ear, and then they left together.
After watching them leave, the head of the Liu family turned to the head of the Qian family.
“I absolutely did not send anyone to invite you over. It must have been someone else who secretly pulled a fast one to try and sabotage our harmonious relationship.”
When the two families arranged the marriage, Liu Ruoyi died on her wedding night. After receiving the news, the head of the Liu family sent another daughter of the Liu family overnight, which barely suppressed the Qian family's anger.
He claimed that the two families had a harmonious relationship, but in reality, their relationship was like a candle flame flickering in the wind, which would be extinguished if the wind were too strong.
"However, now that the Qian family patriarch is here, why don't you rest for the night? I have prepared a generous gift for you both!"
As he spoke, he looked at the two of them, his eyes conveying an ambiguous meaning.
The Qian family patriarch and his son were well aware of this and did not refuse; they would never refuse a benefit offered to them.
After making arrangements for the two, the head of the Liu family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was at this moment that the butler returned.
"Master, the arrangements for the two from the Li family have been made."
"I've arranged for the Qian family patriarch and young master to stay in the East Garden. Be vigilant at all times. Also, send the two sisters, Hong and her sister, to the young master's room. As for the patriarch, send Lan Yi there."
"yes!"
After making the arrangements, the head of the Liu family yawned and went back to his room to rest.
Soon, one by one, the lights in the entire Liu family compound went out.
No one noticed that a wisp of black mist was gradually enveloping the house.
Thus, at midnight, when most people were fast asleep, black mist took over all the space.
"Young master, wake up!"
The young master of the Qian family was awakened from his sweet dream. He looked at the figure standing by the bed.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Young master has finally woken up!"
The newcomer let out a soft sigh, and then fell into the arms of the young master of the Qian family.
The young master of the Qian family showed no surprise at being embraced. Instead, he skillfully held the person in his arms, stroking her beautiful face with his hands, feeling her smooth skin and feeling extremely satisfied.
However, what puzzled him was that the person in his arms had a low body temperature, making him feel as if he were holding a block of ice.
However, he quickly dismissed these thoughts and began to tease the woman in his arms. Gradually, he moved closer to her and became inseparable from her.
After everything was over, the young master of the Qian family wanted to stop, but found that he had no control over his body at all.
The body, like everyone else's, continues its previous actions.
After several times, he felt his vision blurring and his body weakening. He wanted to stop, but he couldn't.
A look of fear crept across his face as he looked at the woman beneath him. He saw that her face had transformed into the shape of a snake in an instant, but it quickly returned to its current form.
He grew increasingly panicked, trying to control himself and stop, but his body felt like someone else's, entangled with the woman beneath him.
After an unknown amount of time, the young master of the Qian family's body slowly began to shrink, as if being absorbed by something. His full skin gradually contracted, and the flesh and blood covering the skin disappeared, leaving only skin and bones.
His consciousness was trapped inside, and he could only watch helplessly as his body clung to its last breath.
It was at this moment that his soul finally separated from his body.
He couldn't help but show surprise, but his eyes turned fierce as he looked at the woman.
Just as his soul left his body, before he could do anything, he saw a gaping maw of abyss, and his soul was instantly swallowed up.
The young master of the Qian family broke free from the immense pain, sat up abruptly, and gasped for breath.
Only then did he realize that he was lying in bed, there was no woman there, and he was perfectly healthy.
Before he could even show his surprise, the curtain in front of him was opened from the outside, revealing a familiar woman's face.
What happened next was pretty much the same; he was swallowed by the woman every time.
After repeating this cycle dozens of times, he became completely numb.
It wasn't just him; everyone in the Liu family was constantly going through these things.
Liu Ruoyi stood above the Liu family compound, looking down at the situation in front of her, her eyes utterly calm.
"Will this really work?" Liu Mingyuan looked up and then looked at Shao Yanzhe beside him.
Shao Yanzhe nodded: "Don't worry, Liu Ruoyi's situation is different from others. If she wants to get rid of her resentment, others can't do it. Only by doing it herself can the resentment in her heart gradually dissipate."
Liu Ruoyi finally had enough. With a flick of her sleeve, the black mist that had been shrouding the Liu family compound churned, and the people trapped in the cycle were freed.
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, she slightly curled the corners of her lips. Next, the real show was about to begin!
