Xie Qing pushed Lin Xinxin away with an irritated look on his face: "You better clear your mind now. If I don't marry into the Zhang family, I won't be able to explain to Grandpa!"
He couldn't tell Lin Xinxin about Wu Fei's abnormality, so he could only be vague.
Lin Xinxin burst into tears again: "But if you abandon me like this, the gods will be angry..."
"Last night I dreamt that the gods came to me and told me that if I insisted on marrying someone else today, it would cost both of our lives..."
Xie Qing's teeth were chattering.
This dream! He had dreamed it too!
A dark creature crawled to the side of his bed in the middle of the night and whispered a warning in his ear in an extremely strange and terrifying way.
I must marry Lin Xinxin, otherwise the Xie family will be destroyed!
Although Xie Qing was still frightened after waking up, he did not dare to tell anyone about it.
On the one hand, he was frightened by Wu Fei, and on the other hand, he began to suspect that it was Lin Xinxin's doing!
His nightmare started after he brought Lin Xinxin back to the Xie Mansion.
Xie Qing stared at Lin Xinxin with disgust on his face: "Did you cast some kind of curse on me?"
Lin Xinxin was frightened by the hatred in his eyes. She became flustered and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No! I didn't..."
Having said that, she instinctively took a few steps back, her actions betraying her.
The veins on Xie Qing's forehead popped out, and he stepped forward and grabbed her neck: "Tell me! What did you do to me back then?"
An hour later, Wu Fei was sitting in her new house eating melon seeds boredly when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Young Master, you haven't gotten married yet, so you can't see the bride..." Several maids stopped him from outside.
Wu Fei smiled and called out, "Let him in!"
Xie Qing rushed in, having already taken off his wedding dress, with a nervous look on his face.
"Have you found the culprit?" Wu Fei asked with a smile.
Xie Qing's cheeks twitched, and he swallowed hard, saying, "So, so someone is plotting against us!"
Xie Qing never thought that he would meet Lin Xinxin and fall into her gentle arms, thinking that he had met the love of his life.
It's all a scam!
Lin Xinxin accepted money from a mysterious man, designed an encounter with Xie Qing, and according to the mysterious man's instructions, carefully planned a "love affair" with Xie Qing.
Xie Qing fell in love like a fool, and obeyed Lin Xinxin's words and fulfilled her every request.
So, Lin Xinxin arranged for him to go on an outing to a remote village outside the provincial capital, and "accidentally" visit the temple located in the wilderness outside the village.
"What temple?" Wu Fei frowned slightly.
"It looks like a dilapidated temple, but that bitch Lin Xinxin said that the marriage fortune sticks in that dilapidated temple are particularly effective. She tricked me into going in and making me swear a poisonous oath, saying, saying, saying..." Xie Qing was trembling with fear and couldn't continue.
"No need to say more!" Wu Fei nodded.
Now I understand everything.
Therefore, someone deliberately created the cause of this ghost marriage!
The appearance of the black silkworm is just a huge help to this whole incident!
Wu Fei narrowed her eyes and only thought of one person.
Zhang Wanrou.
She planned everything for today's wedding!
If Xie Qing breaks his promise in the temple, he will be killed and sacrificed together with Lin Xinxin.
The reason why Zhang Wanrou found a substitute was the same, to let Xie Qing and the bride die together at the wedding!
So, whether Xie Qing resisted or not, he would die.
The final result is that Xie Qing will be buried with Lin Xinxin and his substitute.
Wu Fei looked at Xie Qing again, but couldn't see any special characteristics in him.
Why does Zhang Wanrou want him to die?
Is the purpose to seize the huge fortune left behind by him?
For this purpose, she even directly killed the head of the Zhang family, her own father.
Later, Zhang Wanrou founded the Fule Group and began a series of collusion with Eve.
Although Zhang Wanrou was buried in the later period, the Fule Group began to conduct anti-human experiments and became Eve's most loyal lackey in this world.
If it was just for the Xie family's property, there would be no need to make such a fuss.
Zhang Wanrou could have simply poisoned Xie Qing after marriage, so why bother with a ghost marriage?
Wu Fei narrowed her eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed through her mind, but it was fleeting.
Besides the Xie family's property, Zhang Wanrou's goal must be something more important.
Xie Qing, Lin Xinxin and their stand-in died suddenly. What can Zhang Wanrou get?
Wu Fei thought about it and decided to go to the temple in person to take a look.
"Then...are we still holding the wedding?" Xie Qing asked cautiously.
He didn't want the wedding to turn into a funeral.
Wu Fei said, "Since this matter concerns the oath you made before the gods, it naturally cannot be held."
At this time, she would not be so naive as to think that there were no gods in this world.
Xie Qing heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Wu Fei say, "Just tell me that I've been sick from you and Lin Xinxin. I'm bedridden right now, and the wedding will be postponed!"
Xie Qing's face suddenly looked like he had eaten feces.
"I, I'll go and tell them?"
"What else?" Wu Fei rolled her eyes at him. "How about canceling the wedding and saying you and your lover are sworn brothers?"
Xie Qing said with disgust, "I would never marry that liar even if I were beaten to death!"
He resigned himself to his fate and was about to turn around and leave when Wu Fei called him back.
"Tell your servant to prepare a carriage for me at the back door, and assign me a driver."
Xie Qing couldn't help but ask, "You want to go out? Where are you going?"
Wu Fei looked at him with a puzzled expression and thought for a moment: "Since you care so much, I'd like to trouble you to go with me!"
When Xie Qing learned that Wu Fei was going to that damn temple, he wanted to slap himself twice!
Why are you talking so much?
However, he still resigned himself to his fate and went to the outer hall, saying that Wu Fei had suddenly fallen ill and was too ill to get out of bed to attend the wedding, so he asked all the guests to stay in Xie's house temporarily and hold the wedding after Wu Fei got better.
Xie Jingtang was furious and scolded him severely in public, and expressed his most sincere apologies to all the guests.
The "cousin" representing the Zhang family was naturally sent by Xie Jingtang to a remote guesthouse and placed under strict surveillance.
After Xie Qing took the blame, he and Wu Fei quietly slipped out the back door and headed straight for the suburbs of the provincial capital.
When they arrived at the remote village, Xie Qing looked at his pocket watch and sighed, "It's so late, can we still make it back to the provincial capital?"
Wu Fei glanced at the small village in front of her, which was shrouded in darkness, and sneered, "We'll stay here tonight!"
Xie Qing looked ahead and saw the dark village. He couldn't help but shudder. "Why, why does it look like a graveyard?"
When he went for an outing with Lin Xinxin before, he was immersed in beautiful love and didn't notice the scene in front of him at all.
Looking over from the carriage at this time, the dark buildings looked like densely packed tombs on a grave hill!
