"Sis, sis, what's wrong? What happened? Help! Help!"
Xiang Wan squatted down beside Ye Zhi Qiu and quickly pressed her pressure point to make her fall asleep, completely knocking Ye Zhi Qiu unconscious.
The door was quickly pushed open, and the makeup artist rushed in. Seeing Xiang Wan holding Ye Zhi Qiu's head in a panic, she immediately ran outside to call for help.
Ye's parents arrived quickly, along with Zeng Yi and others, with the doctor following closely behind.
"Quick, help your sister up so the doctor can take a look."
Ye's father and Zeng Yi carried Ye Zhi Qiu to the sofa in the dressing room, with Xiang Wan and Ye's mother on either side.
The doctor picked up a flashlight, shone it into Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes, listened to her heartbeat, and told everyone that she was fine, just a little tired these days and had fallen asleep.
"Doctor, when will my daughter wake up?"
Ye's mother asked with some concern, reaching out to tuck a strand of hair from Ye Xiangwan's forehead behind her ear, her eyes filled with heartache.
Xiang Wan remained silent. It was clear that Ye's parents were genuinely worried about Ye Zhi Qiu, or rather, about Ye Xiang Wan, who was about to get married. Why couldn't they see that their eldest daughter was being impersonated by their second daughter? Or perhaps, even if they found out later, they accepted it because one of their daughters had gone mad, and what could they do about the remaining one?
Perhaps Ye's parents loved their daughter too much, forgetting that some mistakes, once made, must have consequences. Since they chose to ignore it in their previous life, then in this life, let them pay the price for their past indulgences!
"She'll wake up naturally once she's had enough sleep."
After the doctor finished speaking, he packed his medical kit and left, leaving everyone around Ye Zhi Qiu, each lost in their own thoughts.
Zeng Yi, the original owner's childhood sweetheart who grew up alongside her, and so familiar with the Ye sisters—knowing best who the older and younger sister were—why he, like Ye Zhi Qiu, chose to force the original owner to her death. Xiang Wan wanted to see what role he was playing in all of this.
Dressed in a groom's suit, Zeng Yi exuded an even more refined and gentlemanly air. Tall and slender, with gentle features, his eyes always held a warm glow, and his voice was consistently gentle. This scholarly demeanor was well-liked by Ye's parents, who often urged him to become their son-in-law. He would simply smile and continue his interactions with the Ye sisters as always.
Such a man possesses a certain charm that makes people feel instantly drawn to him. Any woman who spends enough time with him often develops the illusion that she holds a special place in his heart, gradually becoming captivated by every moment spent with him. Searching through the original owner's memories, Xiang Wan discovered that the original owner didn't seem to feel anything special about him; at most, he was a familiar older brother, nothing more. On the contrary, Ye Zhi Qiu would sometimes inadvertently mention him in front of the original owner, secretly observing her reaction.
If the original owner hadn't overlooked these minor details, then Ye Zhi Qiu's actions would make sense.
From the moment Zeng Yi entered the dressing room and saw Xiang Wan, his gaze kept lingering on her. Xiang Wan noticed, but pretended not to care. Wasn't it strange that his newlywed wife was still unconscious, yet he was keeping his eyes on her?
After learning about the situation, the people from the Zeng family quickly took their leave, leaving only Zeng Yi there, talking quietly with Ye's father, while Ye's mother pulled Xiang Wan aside and asked her questions in a low voice.
"What exactly happened? Is your sister really that tired?"
"I don't know either. The makeup artist was doing my sister's makeup, and when I came in, she got really excited. Then we were alone for a while, and then she suddenly fainted." Xiang Wan said, secretly leaning closer to Ye's mother and whispering in her ear, "Mommy, do you think... my sister might be pregnant?"
Startled, Ye's mother scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister isn't that kind of person."
"What if, what if? That's how it's portrayed on TV."
"Even the doctor couldn't tell, so you're not allowed to talk nonsense."
"Hey, there were so many people around just now, the doctor probably didn't want to say too much. How about we secretly go see a doctor again? Anyway, I think my sister isn't quite right."
Ye's mother slapped Xiang Wan's arm, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.
Xiang Wan shrugged indifferently and said, "Mommy, it's not like it's anything shameful. We're married now, and having a baby would be double happiness, wouldn't that be even better?"
"Getting married because of pregnancy, what will become of the Ye family's reputation? If you keep talking nonsense, your dad will beat you up."
Xiang Wan awkwardly shut her mouth, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mommy, before my sister fainted, she seemed to say there were ghosts. Could she be possessed?"
Ye's mother was surprised and suspicious, her eyes full of disapproval.
Xiang Wan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and continued, "Or maybe, my sister is under too much pressure and has some mental issues... Perhaps she has other thoughts in mind about this marriage."
Mother Ye frowned and thought for a moment, looking at Ye Zhi Qiu, reaching out to touch her eyebrows and eyes. Perhaps thinking of something, she turned to Xiang Wan and said softly, "It's my fault, it's our fault for not finding out your sister's thoughts in time. When the Zeng family came to propose marriage, your father and I were very happy, and seeing that she didn't object, we agreed. These days, your sister has indeed been acting a bit strangely. Your father and I thought she was just a little shy, but we didn't expect it to exhaust her like this. Sigh, if we had known, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry to marry your sister off."
"Huh? Mommy, it was the Zeng family who proposed, not Zeng Yi himself?"
Is there a problem?
"This is a huge problem. We live in an era that values freedom; there's no such thing as arranged marriages anymore. You know my sister's personality; she'd rather keep it to herself than say anything. Now, here's the problem!"
Mother Ye shuddered, her eyes filled with regret. She hurriedly got up, told Xiang Wan to take good care of Ye Zhi Qiu, and then pulled Father Ye out.
Zeng Yi stood silently for a while, then came up to Xiang Wan, looked at her, and didn't say anything.
Xiang Wan chuckled and stood up, saying, "Brother Yi? Oh no, I should call you my future brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, don't you have anything to say about my sister's current state?"
Zeng Yi frowned, and replied in his usual gentle tone, "It's your own problem, what does it have to do with me?"
"oh?"
This is interesting. The wedding is just around the corner, yet this person speaks in a completely nonchalant tone. Xiang Wan feels sorry for the original owner of this body.
"Brother-in-law, aren't you afraid of hurting my sister's feelings by saying that?"
"She won't be sad. I'm the one who should be heartbroken. I should have married you!"
As he spoke, Zeng Yi's aura changed drastically; his gentle exterior was torn away, and a dangerous atmosphere began to spread throughout the room.
"Why did you come back? To laugh at me? To mock me for chasing after your good looks? Let me tell you, if I can't have you, no one else can!"
Zeng Yi grabbed Xiang Wan's wrist and cornered her against the wall, his madness evident in his eyes.
Xiang Wan laughed. She never expected that Zeng Yi's gentle appearance concealed a ferocious beast!
