Although he was a blind man, when Ke Lejin met his gray eyes, she seemed to feel the presence of his sight.
The gaze was a little cold, and it stayed on her forehead for a while, then moved down slowly.
After a long while, he stretched out one hand, pinched Le Jin's cheekbone, and felt along the bones of his face. With his other hand, his thumb kept jumping back and forth on the tips of his other fingers.
The force he used to touch the bones was a bit strong, and Le Jin frowned uncomfortably.
Mrs. Qian and Young Master Qian followed closely with their gazes, as if expecting something.
Finally, the old blind man finally let him go, took a few steps back, and said to Madam Qian and Young Master Qian, "This woman is just as Madam said, she is the perfect choice for the position of Second Young Master's wife. I will definitely calculate an auspicious time for Master and Madam Qian to get married the day after tomorrow. I would like to congratulate Second Young Master Qian on the New Year."
Mrs. Qian immediately smiled happily. If Le Jin didn't know about those dirty things, she would probably think that she was happy about her second son getting married.
He lowered his head, hiding the emotions in his eyes, thinking that this old blind man seemed to be the key person in the implementation of the ghost marriage or formation. If Huang Yiru and the others wanted to find a way to disrupt the ceremony, they might be able to start with him.
The old blind man was specially accompanied by Young Master Qian as he walked back to the house. Le Jin caught a glimpse of him stuffing a thick stack of banknotes into the man's hand.
Mrs. Qian walked up to her at this time and warmly took her hands. "I didn't expect that the girl from the Li family and our family would be so destined. Your sister and brother-in-law were also very harmonious in the past. It's a pity that fate played a trick on her. I didn't expect that she would end up in despair because of her infertility. Thinking about it now, I still feel extremely sad..."
[You're not feeling sad at all! You evil, vicious woman with a vicious heart!]
[Stop pretending to be an old woman! You're still heartbroken, but I see you're smiling so happily!]
How could someone so shameless and vicious be able to feel so comfortable wanting to kill so many people?!
This family is truly disgusting. No wonder they have such a big house and so much money. It's all paid for with human lives!
[Are they really not afraid of retribution at all?!]
[Big Mouth! You must take the girls and run away!]
After hearing what Mrs. Qian said, Le Jin looked moved, but in fact her stomach was churning. She really wanted to vomit in her face and call her shameless.
"Look at me, I've been busy talking to you about all this." Mrs. Qian was touched by herself and patted the back of his hand. "Several custom-made wedding gowns were delivered early this morning. I'll take you to choose some. If you're not satisfied with anything, just tell me and I'll have the best embroiderer in town make changes for you."
As she spoke, she clapped her hands and asked someone to bring up the wedding dress.
Each bright red wedding dress on the tray was a hundred times more gorgeous than the one she wore the day before yesterday. Gold threads were weaving through the fabrics, and some of the hems were embellished with a circle of pearl embroidery. The pearls were plump and round, and it was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary items.
"They're all sets. Pick the one you like, and I'll match Erlang with the same style." Madam Qian's hand gently stroked the fabrics of the wedding gowns. "Do you like any of them?"
Le Jin was in no mood to appreciate anything, so she just randomly pointed to a set that didn't look that fancy.
"Yes, yes." Madam Qian nodded repeatedly: "This set is dignified and generous, just like a wife! This is the one I'll take. Send it to the Second Young Master's wife's room, along with those gold hairpins and silver rings. Not a single one can be left out!"
"Yes!" The servants filed out, and Madam Qian pulled Le Jin inside.
The smell of medicine was still so strong. Through a layer of curtains and a layer of bed curtains, Le Jin saw a lying figure.
"Erlang, look quickly! Who's here?" Madam Qian stood with him outside the curtain. Her tone clearly sounded like a loving mother, but Le Jin saw disdain in her eyes. "This is your future wife. Once the old master calculates an auspicious time, you can get married the day after tomorrow. You must remember that this Miss Li, Li Baoqin, was born on the same day as you. It's destined to be together."
Listening to her words, Le Jin always felt that she was hinting at something.
Looking at the second young master, he was still lying there motionless. Did he really hear anything? No one knew.
Madam Qian was about to say something when a servant suddenly ran in from outside. He knelt on the ground as soon as he entered, "Madam, Madam, a bride accidentally bumped into the master. Master, the master has taken her away!"
As the servant spoke, he banged his head against the ground, which frightened Le Jin. He really didn't understand these people. If he kept banging his head like that, he would probably get a bloody head!
Madam Qian's face suddenly turned ugly after hearing what the servant said, but she managed to calm down when she thought of Le Jin who was still beside her. She said to him, "I'm afraid I can't accompany you. Your father-in-law has a bad temper. Please don't beat or scold him."
Le Jin didn't want to be accompanied by her in the first place, so she nodded naturally: "You go quickly."
Madam Qian patted her hand soothingly, and hurried on, not forgetting to instruct the servants, "Send the Second Young Master's wife back."
Le Jin watched Madam Qian leave, her gaze falling on the servant who stood up tremblingly. She saw that her eyebrows were drooping, and her forehead was already red and swollen. "Second Young Master's Madam, please."
She extended her hand in a gesture of invitation. Le Jin glanced towards the bed and nodded naturally, "Let's go."
But as he took the first step, he cried "Ouch!" and fell inward as if he had sprained his ankle.
The servant was so frightened that he threw himself to the ground to cushion his fall. Le Jin had no idea that she was so "kind" that he "fell" in a bad position and could only touch a corner of the bed curtain.
