Chapter 24 Wife, I'm Here
Zhang Xia looked at her mother's face that was familiar yet unfamiliar. The last bit of hope was shattered to ashes, and she felt extremely heartbroken.
They knew that they would be in great danger if they went there this time, but they were still willing to let her die for a million dollars.
Hypocrisy, so hypocritical!
"Mom and Dad, I've known since I was old enough to understand that you don't love me. I've been trying my best over the years just to get you to recognize me and love me more... But it doesn't matter now. I'm going to get married, and I'll belong to someone else's family from now on."
Father Zhang snorted coldly: "It's good that you know it. You must listen to them when you go there. They won't tolerate you like your own parents do."
Zhang Xia turned to look at her brother lying on the sofa, and thinking of the secret that Shen Wan had just whispered to her, she said, "Yes, in the future, your brother will bring his boyfriend back to honor you two together, I feel relieved."
Zhang Yaozu, who had not cared at first, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, pointed at her and yelled, "Zhang Xia, what the hell are you talking about!"
Father Zhang was furious: "You little bitch, you're about to get out of the house and you're still slandering your brother's sexual orientation. Are you looking for death?"
Zhang Xia smiled and shrugged, "Believe it or not, you can tell by looking at your brother's phone. Mom and Dad, I wish you a healthy old age."
Seeing her parents' angry looks, she walked out of the house with a look of revenge on her face.
Zhang Yaozu rushed up in a rage and wanted to hit his own sister.
Chen Wan smiled and pointed behind him, "Your phone was taken away by your dad."
"Dad!" Zhang Yaozu didn't bother to hit anyone anymore. He let out a sharp roar and rushed over like crazy to grab the phone.
Shen Wan and Zhang Xia came downstairs and saw a driver in black mourning clothes standing in front of a black car.
There was a lonely black rose tied on each side of the bridge car, which looked very strange.
"Ms. Zhang, please get in the car." The driver opened the door.
Zhang Xia pulled Shen Wan's hand in hers: "She is the bridesmaid I specially found, can we go together?"
The driver nodded calmly: "Okay."
When the two got in the car, they heard Zhang's father's angry voice coming from upstairs: "Who told you to do such a disgusting thing? Quit it immediately!"
In the car, Zhang Xia's expression of grievance was mixed with a bit of surprise, "Wanwan, how did you know that my brother has that kind of orientation?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "You can tell from his face. Your brother has a pretty face and spring in his eyes. You can tell at a glance that he has been loved by a man. And the way he plays games, it is obvious that he is playing with his boyfriend. His smile is so sweet."
Zhang Xia couldn't help but applaud: "Serves you right!"
"My parents favored boys over girls and ignored me since I was a child. They only loved my brother and spoiled him all the time. Now, my brother won't carry on the Zhang family's bloodline. This is really retribution!"
The two chatted and laughed along the way, and the driver looked sympathetic.
This woman probably doesn’t know what her fate will be. If she knew, she would never be able to laugh again.
An hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.
Led by the driver, the two walked into the villa.
The mourning hall was set up in the living room, with black and white wreaths placed around it and a black and white photo hanging on the wall. The man in the photo had a smile on his face, which looked particularly eerie in this atmosphere.
There was no furniture in the living room, only two black coffins.
In the left coffin lay a corpse whose face had been prepared, while the right coffin was empty, obviously waiting for the man's bride.
It was the first time Zhang Xia saw such a scene. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her calves were shaking.
She said as Shen Wan had taught her: "I suddenly have to pee urgently, where is the bathroom?"
The butler in black pointed in the direction.
Zhang Xia pulled Shen Wan to the bathroom, and they took off their clothes and exchanged them.
Chen Wan put on her red wedding dress and a red veil, and reminded her, stuffing her with Lu Beichen's business card: "When they let you go, don't stop for a moment, don't look back, walk out, and call this person after you go out and ask him to pick you up."
Zhang Xia took the business card with shaking hands and said hesitantly, "Master Wanwan, how about we escape together? We still have time."
Chen Wan shook his head: "It's too late. Your horoscope must have been recorded in the Yin Marriage Book, otherwise he wouldn't have appeared by your side. Leave it to me, don't worry."
Looking at her piercing eyes, Zhang Xia nodded and held her hand tightly: "Master Wanwan, I will wait for you outside. If you don't come out at dawn, I will call the police!"
Shen Wan smiled and said, "Okay."
When going out, Zhang Xia deliberately lowered her head so as not to be noticed.
Fortunately, no one in the villa looked at her, but just called Master Wanwan over.
Zhang Xia stood aside and just wanted to observe, but was ordered to leave by the housekeeper.
"Miss, you may leave now."
"Oh, okay." Zhang Xia was worried and wanted to look back, but thinking of Chen Wan's reminder, she could only bite the bullet and walk out. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt a coldness behind her, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her.
"Bow to heaven and earth!"
Through the red veil, Shen Wan vaguely saw the servants carrying the corpse out of the coffin, and then holding the corpse up to pray with her.
It's a different era now and we're still having the ancient style of getting married in a hall. How old-fashioned.
"Bow to your parents!"
There was no one in the house, and the whole villa was unusually deserted and eerie.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
As soon as Shen Wan lowered his head slightly, he was suddenly pushed down.
"You have to bow lower than the Second Young Master!"
Chen Wan: “…”
"Try to touch me again, and I'll quit."
The housekeeper winked at the servant and said, "Forget it, don't delay the auspicious time, let her go to the coffin."
Shen Wan pretended not to understand and asked, "Didn't we just say we were going to have a wedding ceremony? Why do we have to lie in a coffin?"
The housekeeper said coldly, "Didn't your parents tell you that the wedding ceremony is only the first step? As the Second Young Master's wife, you have to accompany him in the coffin and perform the funeral procession until he is successfully buried. Only then will your mission be considered complete."
Before she could say anything, two burly men rushed up, grabbed her and threw her into the coffin.
Immediately afterwards, the coffin lid was closed and the sound of nails being hammered was heard from outside.
Shen Wan looked calm.
As expected, a living person who is to be arranged to have a ghost marriage must be buried alive.
Burying living people as burial objects with the dead is simply a sin.
"Bang!"
As the sound of the clay basin breaking was heard, it finally broke into pieces in front of the coffin.
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted, "Raise the spirit!"
Shen Wan was lying in the coffin and could feel the coffin being lifted up and staggering out.
She pondered the identity of the dead person that Zhang Xia had told her.
"Huo Shaoqing..."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Wan felt a chill instantly enveloping her.
A cold voice came to my ears.
"Honey, I'm here."
