A happy occasion like a wedding should be filled with a joyous and lively atmosphere no matter how many days in advance it is.

But they sat on the sofa in this side room and looked outside. The whole house was decorated with red. There was no sign of joy on their faces or around them.

It’s not that I’m reluctant to see my daughter get married, but rather I feel a little sad.

No one knew what they had been through, but the more Ruan Jiyan and the others thought about it, the more they felt that there was something odd here.

They didn't dare to discuss the game too loudly in the room, and several of them looked uneasy.

Until the hostess called them to eat, several people sat at the dining table somewhat embarrassedly, just six of them and the couple.

They waited and watched secretly for a long time but did not see any other people.

Yang Si was the first to ask the hostess: "Is your daughter not at home?"

It is impossible for her to be out having fun during these days of wedding preparations, and this is a rural area. Even if her daughter is working outside, she should be at home preparing for the wedding at night when the wedding is approaching.

After Yang Si asked this question, several people looked at the couple's smiles that froze for a moment, then they were embarrassed and finally said with a guilty conscience: "She is indeed not at home, because..."

"Because in our village, newlyweds are generally not allowed to see anyone five days before their wedding, not even relatives and friends, it's unlucky! So we had her move out early to avoid people."

The hostess said this with a somewhat nervous look on her face.

Ruan Jiyan asked without thinking, "In that case, wouldn't it be bad for us, the outsiders, to stay at the newlyweds' house? Would it disrupt the newlyweds' joy?"

This question seemed to hit the nail on the head. The couple paused for a second before quickly waving their hands and saying, "No, no, that's not right. Where does that come from?"

"Our village welcomes everyone. For us, the presence of friends from other places is a kind of appreciation and blessing. We are all guests, so how could there be any conflict?" Her words were a little stiff when she explained, and the more she explained, the more doubts people had in their hearts.

There is too much explanation and the flaws are obvious.

The expressions on the couple's faces kept changing, and you could tell at a glance that they were hiding something in their hearts that couldn't be revealed to anyone else.

Yang Si glanced at Ruan Jiyan, then lowered his head and started to add more dishes.

Several people did not ask any more questions. There was no point in asking too many questions now. If they wanted to say it, they would have said it long ago.

Some things may only be useful if they explore them on their own.

After the meal, several people helped to clean up the dishes. After washing the dishes, I saw the two hosts cleaning up things. There were still many red pendants that were not put away next to them.

A few people had just finished their meal and didn't know what else to do, so they all came forward to help.

The four boys were responsible for hanging things high up, while Ruan Jiyan and Yang Si followed the hostess into their daughter's wedding room.

There was nothing decorated in the bridal room yet, not even any bedding was laid out, and there were a lot of red balloons placed on it.

So the three women started blowing up balloons.

Ruan Jiyan sat on the edge of the bed, leaning his elbows on the white bedside table. On the bedside table was a smaller photo frame, which was covered on the bedside table and not displayed.

Ruan Jiyan looked up and saw that the wall was very clean and there were no photos of the newlyweds hanging on it.

So, Ruan Jiyan lowered his head slightly, glanced at the hostess with his peripheral vision, then quickly reached out and lifted up the photo frame covering the bedside table.

The hostess was a little surprised, and was too late to stop her.

Ruan Jiyan praised it as he lifted it up, "Is this photo frame your daughter's wedding photo?"

She had no sense of being a guest at all. Instead, she felt it was a bit strange and didn't care about all the politeness.

Sure enough, the photo was very strange.

There was no bride in the photo, only a handsome guy wearing a red wedding gown and smiling happily.

The bridal room was decorated in a very modern style, but the man in the photo was dressed in very Chinese style. The two together created a strange beauty.

Ruan Jiyan quickly withdrew his hand, as if he had touched something he shouldn't have touched.

For a moment, her heart began to beat wildly, and a bone-chilling chill spread throughout her limbs.

Seeing this, the hostess quickly explained: "Because the bride cannot see anyone before the wedding day, we did not put out their wedding photos. Currently, we only put out a photo of the groom alone."

In fact, there must be several individual photos in the whole set of wedding photos, but when Ruan Jiyan saw the man smiling brightly in the photo, she didn't know why she felt a chill in her heart.

Yang Si saw that she was dazed as if she was frightened, and he called her twice before she came back to her senses.

Ruan Jiyan saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he could only apologize first: "Sorry, I just wanted to see what the bride and groom look like."

"The groom is very handsome." She smiled awkwardly and complimented.

The hostess's unhappy expression disappeared in an instant, and she smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay."
