"Master...Master!" Chen Hai couldn't help but get scared and quickly stuck close to Jiang Ye.
Although these men and women didn't seem to be looking at him or noticed him, he was still scared!
After all, this is a haunted house!
Even if his brain is not very useful, he can tell that these men and women are not human!
They are all ghosts!
Moreover, since these men and women were looking behind him, this meant... that there must be something behind him!
When he thought about it, Chen Hai felt like his legs were almost shaking.
"...Don't worry." Jiang Ye comforted helplessly.
Perhaps it was because he heard Jiang Ye's voice, or perhaps it was because of what Jiang Ye said, but Chen Hai was no longer afraid in an instant!
My legs and feet don’t feel weak anymore!
He nodded, then with a pale face and slightly narrowed eyes, he turned around and followed the gaze of those men and women.
Upon seeing this, Chen Hai’s eyes widened!
A layer of transparent mist with rippling water-like ripples had appeared outside the door at some point, and a tall and domineering figure walked out of the mist.
There were several followers following behind the figure.
Well, it looks like he is an attendant, escorting that figure.
"Marshal!"
"Greetings, Marshal!"
"Marshal, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a long time, all waiting to congratulate you on your new marriage!"
“…”
As soon as that figure appeared, the respectful and flattering voices of men and women rang out in the room.
Moreover, everyone immediately made way for that figure!
That figure was the Marshal. He nodded at them with a smile on his face.
But when Chen Hai looked at him, he felt that the Marshal didn't seem very happy.
But he didn't dare speak.
His gaze followed the Marshal back into the house.
As the Marshal came down with a group of followers and sat down in the first seat in the house, the men and women could not help but rush forward to present gifts to the Marshal.
"General, I heard that you were taking in your seventh concubine today, so I specially sent someone to the South China Sea to find a precious pearl. This pearl was dug up from the depths of the South China Sea and is priceless. It's the perfect match for your seventh concubine."
"Marshal, Marshal, I have also prepared generous gifts for you and the Seventh Concubine! I heard that the Seventh Concubine is still very young and I thought she would love jewelry, so I personally went to someone to make a complete set of head ornaments, all made of the finest gems and jade!"
"I'm not as good as Boss Zhao and Boss Zhou, but I did find a painting in my ancestral home. It was painted by a famous artist at the request of my great-grandfather. It was originally painted to celebrate his wedding. My great-grandfather and great-grandmother were deeply in love. Today, I'm offering this to the Marshal and his Seventh Concubine, wishing them a long and happy marriage!"
"Oh, your gift is quite generous! Alas, with your precious gem in front of me, my jade cabbage is a bit too small to be presented. But it is still a token of my appreciation. I hope you will accept it and don't despise it!"
"Emerald cabbage? Is that the one I saw in the outer courtyard just now? Boss Qian, you're really modest! This jade cabbage of yours is as tall as a child, it's priceless!"
"I prepared it for the Marshal..."
“…”
The Marshal sat on the upper seat, looking down at the men and women who were vying to present gifts, with a hint of hidden displeasure in his eyes.
But it was never revealed.
Instead, he raised his hand and smiled at the men and women, saying, "Well, well, you're all very thoughtful. Today, no matter who gives you any gifts, I'll accept them. I'd like to thank you all on behalf of my wife."
After saying this, the Marshal stood up from the upper seat and bowed to the men and women.
When the men and women saw him, how could they dare to ask him to thank them?
They quickly bowed and saluted, then saluted the Marshal in return, saying anxiously, "You're too polite, Marshal! Master, please bless us all. You're so happy today, so naturally we come to congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts!"
"Oh."
The Marshal looked at the men and women and chuckled.
But he didn't insist any longer. He sat back in the first seat and told his attendants, "Send someone to serve the meal."
The followers naturally agreed.
Soon, exquisite and delicious dishes were brought in by beautiful maids.
The dishes were served, and the men and women took their seats at the Marshal's signal, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps because the atmosphere had relaxed, and the Marshal was also laughing, someone bravely asked with a smile: "The Marshal is very happy today, but I have been waiting for so long, but I haven't seen the Seventh Concubine."
"But the Seventh Concubine is as beautiful as a fairy. The Marshal wants to keep her in his treasury and won't let us see her, right?"
"If that's the case, then don't worry, Marshal. We don't have the guts, nor the intention, to snatch the Seventh Concubine!"
"Hahaha, that's right. We just heard that the Seventh Concubine is very beautiful, so we wanted to meet her and see how beautiful she must be to be so loved by the Marshal."
"Go away, do you think you can look at the Marshal's Seventh Concubine? Today is the Marshal and the Seventh Concubine's wedding day. We must not disturb their love!"
"Why bother? Since it's a new wedding, and we've come to give gifts and drink, isn't it normal to see the bride?"
"I'd also like to see what the Seventh Concubine looks like. After all, I offered myself to the Marshal before, but he didn't like me!"
“…”
Once someone started talking, others immediately followed suit.
Everyone wants to meet the Seventh Concubine.
After all, today is the day when the Marshal and the Seventh Concubine get married. The Marshal showed up, but the Seventh Concubine did not. How can people not be curious?
