Lu Xiaoyao, still somewhat dazed, asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Mingmei pursed her lips and couldn't help but reach out to touch Lu Xiaoyao's hair, who was sitting next to her. It seemed that her hair was indeed quite suitable for being ruffled.
Bai Xiao glanced around, then looked at the young master of the Zhang family and asked, "Was what I just said correct?"
At this point, the villain probably stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table, revealing the truth of the matter.
Compared to the original storyline where the Zhang family was haunted by a vengeful ghost and needed a bride to feed the ghost for generations to maintain their wealth, this version is much more complicated.
The Zhang family did indeed hire an evil spirit to ward off evil spirits and ensure their wealth. This was an evil practice, so they naturally kept it a secret from outsiders. However, the matter was leaked to someone with ulterior motives, namely the Bai family.

The more Lu Xiaoyao thought about it, the more frightened she felt: "If I hadn't been determined during the day and had listened to Bai's mother and not come, would I have been packed up and sent over overnight?"
As Mingmei listened to Lu Xiaoyao's mutterings, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. To be honest, this situation might really be true.
After all, if players just refuse to come back, they're not progressing through the story. That's when the game characters have to use their skills to guide players into the story, though it's hard to say where they'll end up.
It could be a beginning and an end, or it could be.
