Just like that, Miss Lan’s evil reputation spread. The man died before he could marry her. If he married her, what would happen? The entire family would be killed by her!
In the Soul Retrieving Gourd, the unlucky ghost and the flirtatious ghost had popped their heads out.
The ugly auntie asked, “Is she uglier than me?”
The unlucky ghost asked, “Impressive! Whoever gets engaged to her will die. She’s even fiercer than me!”
The flirtatious ghost: “Aiya, how pitiful. She died before she could enjoy herself. No matter what, she should sleep with someone first before dying!’
All the ghosts: ‘
Amelia asked, “And?”
William: “Later, a scholar from another city came over. Because he was poor and had no money, he didn’t even have the money to travel to the capital to take the exam, so he took off the notice.’
The flirtatious ghost supported her chin with her hand. “How boring. Another scholar who came to the capital to take the examination. Why are such stories in ancient times all about scholars who go to the capital to take the examination?”
As William continued to speak, the scholar took the notice and went to the Lan residence. Minister Lan was very satisfied with the scholar’s ident.i.ty. Miss Lan was also very satisfied with the scholar’s handsome appearance.
William said, “In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Miss Lan and the scholar got married that night. The Lan family firmly believes that as long as Miss Lan gets married, all the rumors will be dispelled.”
The place where Miss Lan and the scholar got married was in one of the four-part architectures of the dowry. It was very big, and because the wedding was rushed, there were no servants in the courtyard. There were only four maids, four servants, and an old woman who cooked.
William said, “They didn’t expect something to happen on the night of the wedding. That night, there was a strong wind. There were screams from the couple’s room. To be precise, it was the groom’s scream and the sound of bones being chewed.”
When the maids and servants thought of Miss Lan’s reputation, they were all terrified. No one dared to go over and take a look. All of them ran out of the door. When the officials arrived, the door of the new house was also opened. When they saw the scene inside, some people were so frightened that their eyes widened and they fell back. They were actually frightened to death!
Amelia, Emma, and the other ghosts in the Soul Retrieving Gourd were all fascinated. They hurriedly asked, “Then? What did they see? What exactly was inside?”
William looked at the few lines of words at the back of the checkpoint and felt his scalp tingle. “It says that after the door opened, everyone saw a room full of broken limbs, as if they had been bitten by something. There were only b.l.o.o.d.y bones and a little bit of flesh that had not been bitten off… Everyone’s first reaction was that there was something Wrong with the bride. It was a ferocious ghost who ate the groom on their wedding night…”
Amelia asked, “Isn’t it?”
William shook his head. “Later, they discovered that the arms, leg bones, ribs, and so on were all the bride’s. However, the bride was wearing a complete red wedding dress that hung in the middle of the house… To be precise, only the bride’s head was hanging on the beam. The wedding dress was also hung up. It was empty. The bride’s body was separated, and the groom disappeared…”
In other words, the bride was the only one who died tragically in the room. The wreckage on the ground belonged to the bride, and the bride was hanging from the beam.
“That night, no one who entered the courtyard came out. We are now in the bride’s wedding room…” William gasped at this point. Amelia and the others subconsciously looked up at the beams on the roof… Fortunately, there was nothing. They only felt a chill on their backs.
William said, “We have two missions. The first is to find the groom. The second is to escape from this courtyard. We will be considered to have successfully cleared the level.”
Emma turned at once. “That’s easy. We’ll get out the way we came. Let’s go!’ She was proud of her wit!
William shook his head and said, “We can’t get out. After we came in, the door behind us closed.” It was seamless and fused with the wall. It was impossible to tell where they had just come in. They only remembered that when they came in, the door was inconspicuous and a little short. At that time, they did not pay attention and directly entered this room.
“Let’s get out of this room,” William said quickly.
The group hurried outside. The room was quite big. There was an inner and outer room. There was a bead curtain in the middle as a part.i.tion. Seeing the bead curtain, Amelia asked curiously as she walked, “Were there curtains in ancient times?” She had watched ancient television dramas. They used gauze windows inside. There were often bad people who broke the gauze windows and blew knockout powder into them..
