Chapter 64 The Married Girl (1)
Where she couldn't see, Madam Lin's face was resolute.
"I'm so happy..." Lin Chujiu murmured, not understanding what she meant.
It's a good thing that she doesn't have to get married, so why does she feel even more in danger?
"Your brother is dead, so from now on, your mother will only have you."
Mrs. Lin held her and murmured.
Lin Chujiu stiffly raised her hand to hug him back, her unease growing stronger.

The Zhou family.
When Zhou Ruoruo heard her parents say that she didn't need to get married, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
Her fans, on the other hand, were overjoyed.
[Great, we don't have to supply Ruoruo with bronze anymore!]
Um, did the guy in bronze armor do anything to you?
I don't care what a male bronze worker is like, but it's disgusting that a male bronze worker wants to get married.
Yes, the copper wife is the most pitiful.
But Ruoruo doesn't seem very happy.
Zhou Ruoruo obediently saw off Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, but as soon as she closed the door, her face instantly darkened.
She looked around the room; Pei Yu wasn't there.
Ah Yu was spending less and less time with her.
Zhou Ruoruo took a deep breath to suppress her agitation.
If she had known so much trouble would ensue, she should have found a way to kill that bitch back then.
Anyway, no one in the remote mountains will notice.
Judging that Zhou's parents wouldn't dare to do anything late at night, Zhou Ruoruo went to sleep feeling restless.
————
Lin Chujiu lay on the bed, shivering.
But the eerie shadow outside the door lingered, unwilling to leave.
He seemed unusually happy today, and he slammed the door with much more force.
"Sending my sister away...carrying my sister on my back..."
He seemed to be deliberately not making things clear, and Lin Chujiu listened for a long time but still couldn't understand what he meant.
It wasn't until that strange laughter from last night that Lin Chujiu was able to fall asleep again.
For some reason, it seemed that the monster last night deliberately prevented her from noticing anything, as if it had played some trick on her to fall asleep. But today, Lin Chujiu couldn't fall asleep.
"careful……"
Unlike yesterday, today the monster didn't leave after driving away Young Master Lin. Instead, it stayed and spoke to her through the door.
careful?
Lin Chujiu was a little confused. What were they telling her to be careful about?
After leaving behind the warning, the monster let out a silvery laugh and gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving Lin Chujiu alone in the room, completely bewildered.
Lin Chujiu was a little worried that her parents might be up to some trick, but she was also afraid that she wouldn't have the energy tomorrow. So she sat on the bed with a butcher knife in her arms, dozing off in a half-awake state.
In my dream, a strange fragrance wafted over, carrying with it a hint of eeriness.
Lin Chujiu, being an ordinary mortal, was utterly powerless to resist. Her head lolled to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Hurry up, the Zhou family is waiting!"
Master Lin directed Madam Lin and the maids to go inside.
Madam Lin looked at her sleeping daughter on the bed, a hint of reluctance flashing in her murky, eerie eyes, but her movements were surprisingly fast.
After an unknown amount of time, the paper figure covered in white paper outside finally shouted:
"The auspicious time has arrived—"
In an instant, the windows of the Lin family's house were covered with white paper-cut window decorations, creating an extremely festive scene.
Paper dolls, boys and girls, chattered excitedly under the sedan chair:
"The bride is getting married! The bride is getting married!"
"Clang clang clang dong! Clang clang clang dong! Clang clang clang dong!..."
A strange, eerie melody began to play, and the sedan chair was lightly lifted up by paper figures.
Madam Lin, dressed in a white wedding gown, stared blankly at everything, a strange smile creeping onto her face.

Lin Chujiu was awakened by the shock.
When I woke up, I felt as if I was sitting in a small space, being tied up.
As if afraid she would run away, the straps were wrapped around her body so tightly that it was almost suffocating her.
The sound of eerie music drifted into my ears, unlike the joyful atmosphere of a wedding; instead, it had a sinister feel to it.
Lin Chujiu's head was still foggy from the effects of the drug, but she was instantly jolted awake after glancing down.
Red, so red, everything in sight is red, blood-red...
She flung aside the obstructing red cloth and was startled to discover that it was actually a red veil.
She continued reading—
The red satin wedding dress is embroidered with phoenixes and intertwined branches, edged with gold thread and adorned with pearls and jade. The phoenix crown is decorated with kingfisher feathers and dangling pearls, and golden branches and jade leaves fall from the temples.
It's beautiful, but paired with this scene of a bride being tied up, it's truly chilling.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned by what they saw.
[Holy crap, I've only been gone a short while, and you're already getting married, honey?]
[Waaaaah, my wife is getting married, but the groom isn't me! No wonder I've been feeling itchy on my head these past few days, turns out it's because I'm getting weeds!]
[Hmm, how come I never realized Jiu Jiu had so many dream men before?]
[Aaaaaah! Don't you dare harm my daughter! Get them out of here right now!]
[Roommate with 5cm leg hair: Wait a minute, shouldn't the most important thing right now be worrying about Jiu Jiu's safety?]
Lin Chujiu struggled to break free of the ropes. She twisted her way to the sedan chair entrance and looked outside through the swaying curtain.
The marriage of the sons of two county magistrates, though not as prestigious as that of imperial relatives, was still conducted in a very proper manner.
The red silk-covered sedan chair, a normally festive design, was incongruously adorned with two large floral wreaths in front of the dumplings, their white centers and red leaves creating a rather eerie effect.
Seemingly noticing Lin Chujiu's gaze, the two paper figures carrying the sedan chair turned to look at her, with red lips, red faces, and green bean eyes, just like the characters in Qing Dynasty zombie movies.
Lin Chujiu quickly dodged, avoiding their gaze.
She wasn't entirely sure before, but seeing the scene before her, she finally came to a complete conclusion:
She was forced into a ghost marriage.
She was previously betrothed to Young Master Zhou, who has just died. She should be on her way to the Zhou family in a bridal sedan chair right now.
After her initial panic, Lin Chujiu pondered everything and tried to find a chance to escape.
But the rope is so tight, how can I escape?
Lin Chujiu was in a state of great anxiety.
Unbeknownst to her, less than a kilometer ahead, another sedan chair was approaching from the opposite direction.
Zhou Ruoruo slowly woke up in the sedan chair, frowned when she saw her surroundings.
Those two dogs are really audacious, making a move so quickly.
She subconsciously looked around, but didn't see Pei Yu, and panicked instantly.
Without Pei Yu, how is she going to escape later?
"Here."
Just when Zhou Ruoruo was about to explode from searching, Pei Yu impatiently uttered two words from inside the sedan chair.
He sat in the back of the sedan chair, not wanting to see Zhou Ruoruo, his eyes tightly closed, concealing the impatience in them.
She's becoming less and less like the person she used to be...
"That's great, Ayu!" Zhou Ruoruo said happily, but then suddenly stopped.
The two sedan chairs collided. A gust of wind blew by, lifting the curtains of the sedan chairs. Beneath the curtains was Lin Chujiu's flustered and bewildered face.
Her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes, looking out the window, were filled with despair.
Pei Yu looked over impatiently, then suddenly met her gaze for a moment—
He was stunned.
