"What?" Liu Xiangxiang was startled. "I'm nervous? What's there to be nervous about?" She looked up at the dilapidated house in front of her.
"This house is said to be haunted, and I've always wanted to see if it's true." Liu Nian let go of Liu Xiangxiang's hand and quickly walked inside.
Liu Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief. She was trying to find an excuse to get Liu Nian into the haunted house, but unexpectedly, Liu Nian went in on her own.
Liu Xiangxiang followed nervously, even forgetting to breathe. The house was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Where was Liu Nian?
"Sister Niannian!" Liu Xiangxiang called out again, her voice trembling with fear, "Liu Nian?"
With a loud thud, Liu Xiangxiang swayed and fell to the ground, her eyes wide with astonishment.
Liu Nian, carrying a stool in his hand, with a cold expression, slowly walked to the backyard to hide and wait for the next person to arrive.
Sure enough, not long after, a furtive figure approached the haunted house. As soon as he entered, he saw a person lying unconscious on the ground. Before he could even see who it was, he pounced on them.
To liven things up for them, Liu Nian bought aphrodisiac incense and lit it early on. Liu Nian sneered and walked out of the courtyard.
"Someone's having an affair in the haunted house!" Shen Juan took the lead, calling out to a large group of people heading towards the haunted house.
Liu Nian hid behind the locust tree in the yard, put down the stool, took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, and prepared to watch the show.
The haunted house had no doors or windows, so all the sounds inside were transmitted to people's ears without any reservation.
The women present blushed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Pah!" Shen Juan said indignantly, "If my daughter did such a shameless thing, I would beat her to death with a stick! It's disgraceful!"
"If this had happened before, both the man and woman would have been drowned in the river!"
"Oh dear, what were you thinking, doing business in a place like this?" The woman with her head covering quickly covered her face, then curiously peeked inside again.
Shen Juan was already bursting with excitement. She was going to grab Liu Nian by the hair and drag her out, her hair all disheveled! She'd even better have a pair of worn-out shoes hanging around her neck, so that her whole family would be humiliated.
She heard from her daughter that although Liu Nian had agreed to marry Su Xu, she still wanted to seduce Su Hang. Tonight, Liu Nian was going on a date with Su Hang at a haunted house. What kind of date? It was just another affair, wasn't it?
Making Village Chief Liu's family lose face was something she dreamed of doing.
"Such immoral things cannot happen in our village!" Shen Juan raised her arm and took the lead.
The group was immediately roused, and Shen Juan was the first to rush in.
Liu Nian leisurely cracked open some sunflower seeds, his gaze laced with sarcasm.
"Ah—" Liu Xiangxiang screamed from inside the house.
Shen Juan was blinded by excitement, and the room was dark, so she couldn't see clearly who the woman Su Hang was pinning down was. She only saw her tearing at Liu Xiangxiang's hair with one hand and slapping her across the face with the other.
A woman accustomed to farm work, swinging her arm with such force that her hand seemed to fly, and you could tell how much pain Liu Xiangxiang was in just by listening to her screams.
Blood immediately seeped from the corner of Liu Xiangxiang's mouth.
Shen Juan snatched the torch, her voice trembling with excitement, "Let us see which shameless woman it is!"
It must be Liu Nian! Village Chief Liu is about to lose face! Shen Juan excitedly shone the torch over.
