Chapter 1084

Looking closer at her figure, she had flesh where it should be full, and slender where it should be lean, exquisitely proportioned.

"Sister, no wonder you're Yangzhou's number one beauty—you're truly stunning!"

Li Yu couldn't help exclaiming, "If I were a man, I'd surely marry you and take you home."

At this, Du Bingyan smiled faintly: "You always know how to flatter, Yuhu. Your own beauty is heavenly and peerless—don't praise me so."

She set the veil aside and gazed outside; indeed, heavy rain fell like a beaded curtain, veiling heaven and earth.

Only the dense patter of raindrops striking the roof filled her ears.

"Where could that sound be coming from?"

Suddenly, Du Bingyan's gaze fell upon the temple's statue.

"Could it be the deity manifesting?"

Li Yu froze.

Her younger sister actually believed this now—could it be, like herself, her husband's family was terrible?

"Miss Du, isn't your husband also an unworthy man?" Li Yu asked softly.

Du Bingyan nodded: "Mm. My Du family is wealthy in Yangzhou, but we still depend on the Qi family to survive, so my father married me off to the Qi family—to bring good fortune to their Young Master."

"Indeed!"

She then recounted several details about the Qi family.

"Disgusting!" Li Yu cried, sharing her outrage. "I never thought it'd be the same for me too. Alas, I'm nearly the same—I'm to marry a General. They say he's already abused two wives to death; I don't know how long I'll survive once I go there!"

"Sister, your fate is truly bitter!" Du Bingyan felt it deeply, sighing toward the heavens. "I never imagined our fates would be so alike."

"Yes." Li Yu nodded. "It's infuriating we weren't born men—if we were, we could achieve glory and not suffer this humiliation."

"Sigh!" Du Bingyan sighed softly, her expression dimming; though her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes brimmed with sorrow, stirring deep concern.

Li Yu's expression shifted, changing the subject: "Sister, you mentioned a sound just now—it might truly be the Bodhisattva manifesting. If so, your escape from suffering can't be far off."

"Really?" Du Bingyan, prompted by this, suddenly realized: "If that's true, it would be wonderful indeed."

【Ding, the Multiverse Chat Group invites you to join. Do you agree?】

"Really?" Du Bingyan, prompted by her, suddenly realized: "If that's true, then it's wonderful indeed."

This time, Du Bingyan heard clearly and responded at once.

The next moment, she found a strange thing appearing in her mind.

Moreover, it could be displayed before her eyes.

Lines of information flashed before her, leaving her stunned, her face filled with shock.

"Big Sister Du, what's wrong?" Li Yu, alarmed by Du Bingyan's sudden change in expression, asked.

Du Bingyan, startled, pointed ahead: "Yuhu, don't you see it?"

"See what?" Li Yu's back prickled with cold sweat. "There's nothing there at all you're pointing at. Could ghosts or spirits truly exist?"

Du Bingyan stared in surprise, pointing ahead, and asked: "Sister Yuhu, can't you see it?"

"See what?" Li Yu broke out in a cold sweat. "There's nothing there at all. Could there really be spirits or ghosts?"
