Chapter 96: Darkening
"Tell me!" Zhong Nian Yao sat on the sofa with a lazy look, but no one present dared to look down on her.
"Why did you choose Ou Xuanhan to form a ghost marriage? Don't you know that he doesn't agree at all?"
"He has accepted my gift, which means he has agreed." The female ghost suddenly became excited when talking about this matter. "We are already married, and we must get married. He is my husband, and this is a fact that cannot be changed."
"When did I agree?"
Ou Xuanhan jumped up and said, "Don't lie to me. I don't know anything. Also, I've already sent the purse to the police station. I never agreed to marry you. You're just lying."
"I don't care. We're already engaged." The ghost girl remained unmoved. "We're already husband and wife. If you don't want to get married, then we don't have to hold a wedding."
Looking at the ghost girl's persistence, Ou Xuanhan felt a headache.
"This... uh, young lady," Ou Liyan stepped forward and spoke, "Even if we really want to get married, it needs to be consensual! Xuan Han didn't even know what was going on, and he was married off without knowing what was going on. This is also very unfair to him, isn't it?"
The ghost girl was wearing a red wedding dress, but it wasn't a modern style, it looked more like an ancient one. So, in the end, he decided to call her "girl," which seemed more appropriate.
"I don't know anything. I only know that he is now my husband." The female ghost insisted, "No matter what you say, you can't change this fact."
Seeing the ghost girl's persistence, the Ou family's parents were very anxious. Although they didn't know what the consequences would be if the ghost girl persisted, Zhong Nianyao had insisted on waiting until the ghost girl arrived before resolving the matter. They were really worried, but in the end, because the ghost girl refused to do so, the Yinqin could not be resolved.
"Why do you insist on having a ghost marriage with Ou Xuanhan?" Zhong Nianyao looked at the female ghost. "Besides, Ou Xuanhan is right about one thing. You are deceiving. You didn't choose your partner randomly. You had your eyes on Ou Xuanhan, so you deliberately set up this trap to lure him into picking up the purse."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately fell on the female ghost.
Ou Xuanhan felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and shivered involuntarily.
He originally thought that he was unlucky and that was why he had offended this female ghost. But now he knew that he had been targeted by this female ghost for a long time. How could he not feel scared?
"I didn't," the ghost girl lowered her head, not daring to look Zhong Nianyao in the eye. "I didn't do anything. He picked up my purse himself, so he must take full responsibility."
"You're really being stubborn!" Zhong Nianyao smiled lazily, "You don't think that as long as you keep insisting, I can't do anything to you, right? After all, if you're unwilling to dissolve that secret marriage, even if you're beaten to death in the end, you and Ou Xuanhan can still keep your status as husband and wife!"
Once a ghost marriage is formed, if one party is unwilling, it can be very difficult. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the only way is to beat the ghost directly to death, and then the matter will be resolved. However, this approach is like a living person becoming widowed, and the status cannot be resolved.
As if her thoughts were seen through, the female ghost lowered her head and remained silent.
"Haha, you're really being stubborn!" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, still smiling faintly. But her words agitated the female ghost again. "You don't think I can do anything to you, do you? I'm telling you, no matter how much you insist, I have a way to sever your bond."
As soon as these words came out, the ghost girl's face changed drastically, "No, you are lying to me, aren't you?"
"Then why don't we give it a try!"
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao had already begun to form seals with her hands. As she moved, the golden light in her hands began to become more dazzling.
Feeling the power of the golden light, the female ghost began to panic. She shouted, "No, you can't do this. He promised me, he clearly promised to marry me, but why did he go back on his word? He is a heartless man. I just kept my promise and wanted to pursue my own happiness. What did I do wrong?"
Perhaps she had fallen into some kind of obsession, the female ghost actually began to turn evil, and the ghost aura on her body began to become thicker, as if she was about to turn into a fierce ghost.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Nianyao's eyes shone, and she stopped forming seals. She quickly stood up and walked directly to the female ghost. A beam of white light shot directly into her body, and at the same time, she shouted, "Wake up immediately. If you really turn into a fierce ghost, the only result is to vanish into smoke."
As the white light entered her body, the ghost gradually calmed down. Her eyes gradually became clearer, and her true appearance gradually emerged. It turned out that she was also a pretty little beauty.
A moment later——
"Speak!" Zhong Nianyao glanced at the female ghost, then at Ou Xuanhan, "Why do you insist on taking Ou Xuanhan as your husband? Also, why did you say he promised to marry you?"
At this point, the female ghost felt that there was nothing to hide anymore, so she told the whole story in detail.
It turns out that the female ghost was named Chen Wanwan. She lived in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, her father was a scholar and opened a private school. Many students from miles around studied in her father's private school.
Later, she fell in love with Li Xuan, one of her father's disciples, and promised to spend her life together.
Li Xuan also promised her that when she reached high school, he would personally go to her house to propose marriage, with three matchmakers, six betrothals, and a sedan chair carried by eight people, and marry her off in a grand ceremony.
Later, Li Xuan went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. She waited day and night for news of his success. She had even made the worst-case scenario plan: even if Li Xuan failed, she would convince her parents to agree to let her marry him.
However, in the end, she received the news that Li Xuan had won the top spot in the imperial examination. At the same time, she also received the news that Li Xuan had been chosen by the princess and was about to marry her.
Upon hearing the news, she was devastated and depressed. Not long after, she fell ill and eventually passed away at the young age of 20.
