She felt a little annoyed when she heard the door knocking again, and she didn't know where this annoyance came from.
Thinking of what I had just promised the system, I got up and opened the door.
But after opening the door and seeing the distressed look on the face of the woman in front of him, a bitter feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Xi'er, how did you get up? Did your father stop forcing you?"
Rong Xi was not used to someone being so close to her, so she pulled her hand out of hers. "I agree."
"What!? You agreed, kid, do you know that he's a living dead? What are you going to do if you marry him?"
When Jiang Mu said the words "living dead", she deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard.
"If I don't agree, am I going to wait for Dad to send me to someone else's bed?"
Jiang Mu's face turned pale!
She knew that what her daughter said was not impossible. Her husband's personality had changed drastically since he failed the exam. For his future, he would do anything.
.
The next day, Jiang Rongxi was quickly packed up and sent to the Wuding Marquis Mansion in a sedan chair.
There were no other guests inside except those from the Marquis' Mansion. Even during the ceremony, a man holding a chicken tied with red silk walked with her.
She doesn't care. As long as she can complete the task, it doesn't matter who she worships with.
She was quickly sent to the bridal chamber, and it was only then that she met the object of her mission.
Based on the system's description and what she had heard, she had always thought that this general would be a dark-skinned, burly man with a face full of stubble.
Looking at it this way, it was different from what she had imagined.
His skin was a sickly pale color, and there was a scar at the corner of his eyebrow so shallow that it was almost invisible.
The room was dimly lit. Xiao Qingze, wearing a red dress with fair skin, lay on the couch, motionless. This made Rong Xi think of those horror stories.
She dared to kill people, and even killed many people just to survive, but she was afraid of the ghost stories in those vernacular novels.
As soon as she entered the room, she heard the sound of the outer door being locked. She probably locked it because they were afraid that she would run away.
No one lifted her veil, so she had to lift it herself.
After being busy for so long today, she was exhausted. Regardless of Xiao Qingze who was sleeping outside, she crawled in directly, got under the quilt and prepared to sleep.
[Who is it? Who is next to me and climbed onto my bed? Does he want to die?]
Jiang Rongxi, who was already drowsy, heard a deep male voice. When he got up, he found that there was no one there and even the door was locked.
"System, where does that sound come from?"
[Rong Xi, the target of the mission, I don't know what went wrong, and I'm still investigating.]
She had never expected to hear the voice of the mission target. Besides being a little curious, she also wanted to know what he thought about getting married now.
"My dear husband, I am Jiang Rongxi, the wife you are getting married to today. Don't worry, I will take good care of you."
"What? My grandmother still found me a wife. How can I get married when I'm in this state? Are you insulting me or ruining the girl?"
Rong Xi thought he had finished expressing his inner thoughts and was about to ask some more questions, but the next second he heard his inner voice again.
"Grandmother, I'm afraid you've been tricked. I'm just a living dead now, so how could a woman be willing to marry me? I'm afraid he has ulterior motives. If I weren't in this state now, I would definitely make sure she never comes back."
…
Rong Xi, who had a good impression of him just now, fell silent. This guy really didn't play by the rules.
"My dear husband, I don't know if you can hear me right now, but I still want to tell you.
I didn't want to marry you. If my father hadn't forced me, I wouldn't have become your wife.
But I finally married you. Even though we have no feelings for each other and you are in this situation, I will still take good care of you. I accept my fate. This is how I should be."
Xiao Qingze didn't expect that she was forced to marry him by his father.
What he hated most in his life was doing things he didn't want to do. If he were awake, he would never force anyone to marry him.
But he didn't expect that he, now a living dead, would still force others.
Although he still had doubts in his heart, he still believed it to some extent.
[Her name is Rong Xi, which sounds nice. I'll wait and see. She won't be on guard in her current state anyway. Maybe I can hear her intentions after a while.]
Rong Xi didn't even prepare before asking him to trust her, as she had plenty of time anyway.
"Okay, let's go to bed."
After Rong Xi lay down, Xiao Qingze soon heard her even breathing, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.
The next day, when Rong Xi woke up, she found that the locked door had been opened.
Hearing the sound of her getting up, the maid serving outside quickly brought up water for washing.
"Madam, the old lady is already waiting for you. Please follow me after you have washed up."
Rong Xi's every move of rinsing his mouth and wiping his face was very appropriate, which surprised Chunlan a little.
Isn’t it said that the daughter of this scholar behaves badly? Her mother is just a peasant woman. Where did the lady learn these rules?
"You're curious about me."
After wiping his hands, Rong Xi handed the handkerchief over as usual, but no one took it for a long time. When he looked up, he saw the little girl staring at him in a daze.
"Madam, please forgive me. I know I am wrong and I beg for your punishment."
The little girl reacted and quickly knelt down to admit her mistake out of habit.
The way the lady looked at her just now made her feel as if she had seen her before, but it had been so long that she had forgotten who that person was.
Rong Xi never liked to punish others, but seeing the back of her head itching to touch her, he endured it and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Madam."
Although Rong Xi was a little far away from Xiao Qingze, she could still hear his thoughts clearly.
[This woman doesn't look easy to mess with. Chunlan is an old lady in this courtyard, and she can still be scared by a new lady.]
Rong Xi is now glad that he didn't shoot someone in the head just now, otherwise the target of the mission would hear the noise, and it would be difficult for him to have children in the future.
She walked over, stood beside the couch and looked down at Xiao Qingze.
Xiao Qingze, who was already a living dead, felt an invisible sense of oppression.
"Husband, I'll go pay my respects to my grandmother and then come back to be with you. Please wait for me."
What's the meaning of this woman being so affectionate? We only met last night. And what is she talking about? Waiting for her? Do I really think I can run away like this?!
Rong Xi raised the corner of his mouth.
Under Chunlan's gaze, she kissed Xiao Qingze on the forehead. She vaguely remembered that the emperor in the previous dimension kissed her in this way.
Sometimes the system really feels that some of Rong Xi's actions are more like a machine than its own. It is completely a copy of other people's actions without adding any of its own thoughts.
But Xiao Qingze was furious at this moment.
What the hell is this woman doing? She actually kissed me. If I could get up right now, I would kill her immediately. How dare she flirt with this general?
