Chapter 91 The Crazy Bride
After waiting for a while, the bridal chamber became completely quiet, with only bursts of snoring coming from it.
Lin Qingyue said, "It seems this family should be fine. Let's go and find Xie Shouzheng."
Judging from the previous situations, if something went wrong, it would happen just after entering the bridal chamber and before completing the last step.
In addition, Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Qi waited here for a long time and did not detect any evil aura, so they concluded that nothing would happen to this house.
The family that Xie Shouzheng and Hongyao went to lived in a village on the other side of Yushi Town.
After waiting all night, there was still no gain.
After reuniting with Lin Qingyue, Xie Shouzheng asked, "Could it be that the evil spirit has sensed our presence and is therefore afraid to reveal itself?"
Lin Qingyue said, "I don't think so. It was a random selection. Did they just happen not to choose the two families we were targeting tonight?"
Xie Shouzheng said: "If that's the case, then we don't have that much time to meddle in other people's business."
After spending the past two days together, Hongyao knew they still had a long way to go, so she suggested:
"How about, after I've taken my revenge, I'll come back and get to the bottom of this? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stall for time. I promised you to return to the authorities later, and I'll definitely keep my promise. Besides, the lady has already planted a killing talisman on me, so you don't have to worry about me cheating."
Dongfang Qi said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I think this matter is a little strange."
But what was so strange about this? Dongfang Qi and Lin Qingyue's eyes accidentally met, and suddenly an idea struck them, and they said in unison: "Take a concubine!"
Xie Shouzheng was still a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Dongfang Qi then told Xie Shouzheng what he had learned from the old lady. He then added, "According to the clues provided by the old lady, the families who had accidents in the past were not actually marrying wives, but taking concubines!"
Lin Qingyue also nodded in agreement: "According to the custom here, taking a concubine must be done at night, so everyone is confused and thinks it is a matter of time, not a matter of taking a concubine!"
Xie Shouzheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "So, that evil spirit can't stand seeing people taking concubines?"
He asked Hongyao, "Could it be that he has been betrayed by his lover like you? Is he jealous?"
Hong Yao said coldly: "I'm not jealous, I just hate you."
Xie Shouzheng said: "That's true."
Hong Yao continued, "Oh, right, I just heard someone say that a jade shop owner on the North Street of Jade Town took a concubine today. To avoid any risks, he welcomed the new bride home early in the morning."
Xie Shouzheng hurriedly said: "There is no time to lose, let's go to North Street and take a look!"
It was still early, and many shops were still lit. After a little inquiry, I learned that the man who took a concubine this morning was the owner of a white jade jewelry store named Li Datou.
Li Datou's house has a shop in front and a house in the back.
Three bright shops stood in a row in front, their plaques inscribed with "Li Family Jade Stone" fluttering with red silk. Firecracker debris and gunpowder scattered on the ground in front of the doors still lingered with a festive atmosphere.
The shop owner was cleaning and preparing to close the shop.
Suddenly, a few guests arrived and the proprietress hurried over to greet them.
Lin Qingyue pulled Hongyao along, pretending to pick out some jewelry, and asked casually, "You guys look so cheerful at the door, is there something going on?"
"It's a happy news. My husband is taking a concubine." The woman's eyes were dim and her tone was not as cheerful as before.
Hong Yao couldn't help but ask, "You don't look happy. Why did you agree to let your husband take a concubine?"
"What's the point of me being unhappy?" the proprietress sighed.
"I married him when he was poor and gave birth to children for him, but as soon as he became rich, he wanted to take a concubine. If we women dare to say anything, we will be branded as jealous women."
Perhaps because she was asking about a sad story, the proprietress had more to say: "This world is so unfair. Women have to obey the three obediences and four virtues, but men can have three wives and four concubines and take advantage of everything!"
Hongyao asked again, "I heard that families in your town who take concubines will attract evil spirits. Aren't you afraid?"
The proprietress said, "Of course I'm afraid! But what good is it if I'm the only one afraid? Lust is a knife hanging over your head. Especially my husband, he's accumulated some wealth in the past two years, and he's almost become arrogant."
"Even though I knew there was an evil spirit causing trouble, I tried to persuade him for days, but he just thought my advice was jealousy and refused to listen. He also said that he had inquired carefully and that it was okay as long as the ceremony was held before noon."
"Sometimes I hate him so much, I wish I could let that evil spirit give him a good beating!"
A mischievous smile flashed across Lin Qingyue's eyes: "Then you must get what you want tonight."
The proprietress was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
As he was speaking, a scream pierced the night sky of the backyard.
The faces of several people changed slightly, and without waiting for the waiter to say anything more, they rushed straight to the backyard.
Then I saw a middle-aged man stumbling out with his bare bottom, shouting in panic:
"There's an evil spirit, there's an evil spirit!"
The boss lady, who had been constantly scolding her husband before, saw this and immediately rushed over to ask, "Husband, what's wrong?"
When the proprietress's eyes fell on the man's lower body, she screamed in fear: "Ah!"
The man's lower body was covered in blood. The most important thing for a man was gone, leaving only a pool of blood.
The man was in so much pain that he could no longer stand. He fell to the ground and blood instantly flowed all over the floor.
He pointed tremblingly at the door in front of him and said, "She, she, she wants to kill me!"
Following the direction of his finger, I saw a bride in a pink wedding dress slowly walking out of the dim room, leaving a long silhouette behind her.
The woman walked out of the room and approached the man step by step. A strange smile hung on her face, and the scissors in her hand were stained with blood.
"Husband, why did you run away? Didn't you say you liked my youth and beauty? Husband, come with me to the bridal chamber!"
"This woman is crazy! She just cut off my penis! Wuuuuu... I can never be a man again!"
The man clutched his thigh in panic, his entire body trembling with pain. But what hurt even more was his heart. Without his penis, he couldn't be a man anymore. How could he live the rest of his life?
If I had known that taking a concubine would bring such a disaster, I would have stayed at home with my old wife and lived a peaceful life!
The wife was furious, angry, and distressed: "I told you not to take a concubine, but you refused to listen! Now look, something's happened, right? Oh, what should I do? You, the head of the family, can't die. If you die, what will happen to me and the children?"
Due to blood loss and shock, the man could no longer hold on and fainted.
But the other party refused to let him go, roaring with a ferocious look: "Don't you like having three wives and four concubines? Don't you want a wedding night? Come on, get up, let's go to the bridal chamber, hehe... bridal chamber!"
While she was talking about the bridal chamber, she raised the scissors in her hand high and stabbed the man fiercely.
