Chapter 90

~7 min read 1,399 words

Since coming here, Lin Qingyue had already attended several wedding banquets.

The first time was the original owner's wedding banquet. Unfortunately, she arrived a step late, and the ceremony was already completed. Otherwise, if she had repented in time, it would have saved a lot of trouble later.

The second time was the water ghost marriage held for Dongfang Yan and the ghost bride Wang Ling'er.

The third time was Dongfang Yan taking a concubine.

Today is the fourth time. Compared to the previous two times, the wedding banquet of an ordinary commoner's family is much simpler, but friends and relatives are all present, and every word is a beautiful wish for the future of the newlyweds.

Lin Qingyue leaned against the red-lacquered corridor, and the corners of her eyes and brows contained smiles unconsciously.

During Dongfang Yan's inadvertent look back, he saw Lin Qingyue who was focused on watching the wedding.

The afternoon sun was just right, outlining her straight nose and crimson lips, and the smile bloomed between her brows and eyes, gentle and moving.

He looked and looked, and couldn't help but mutter: "Really beautiful."

Lin Qingyue smiled and turned her eyes: "What did you say?"

Dongfang Yan hurriedly lowered his eyes, and a blush dyed his cheeks.

Lin Qingyue looked at him steadily: "I heard you say, really beautiful. Who are you praising?"

Dongfang Yan naturally couldn't tell the truth. Regardless of whether Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan had a husband-and-wife relationship, as long as they hadn't divorced, he couldn't let any dirty thoughts show. Even more so, he couldn't let her bear any burden and scolding.

"I was saying, the bride is really beautiful."

Lin Qingyue scanned the bride in the crowd and said: "She is wearing a head cover, how do you know if she is beautiful or ugly? Could it be..."

Dongfang Yan's heart was a little flustered: Did she see that he was lying? Oh, dead mouth, can't even lie, really useless!

Just as he wanted to explain again, Lin Qingyue suddenly realized: "Understood!"

She lowered her voice and leaned into Dongfang Yan's ear and whispered: "You think the figure is beautiful, right? Look, your face is red, could it be that you are thinking of spring?"

Dongfang Yan looked up in surprise: "Ah?"

Lin Qingyue patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "No need to envy. After returning to the capital, I will help you pay attention and see which daughter is suitable for you. To tell you the truth, I like playing matchmaker the most."

So, Dongfang Yan thought of the ghost marriage drama she had set up for Dongfang Yan before, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch: "No, no need."

Lin Qingyue thought he was being polite and said boldly: "Xiao Hua, there's no need to be polite between us! Leave it to me, rest assured!"

Dongfang Yan: "..."

The wedding ceremony ended, and the bride and groom were sent to the bridal chamber.

Other guests and friends were eating at the banquet outside.

The host even came over to toast Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan, and when asked about their origins, they only said they were brother and sister traveling around the world, passing by here and hearing about evil spirits, so they came to take a look.

The host heard this and praised them for their righteousness, and invited them to eat and drink to their heart's content, without being polite.

They had been rushing on the road for two days before, traveling day and night, and eating dry rations when hungry. Today, encountering a banquet, the two naturally didn't be polite and enjoyed the farm food to their heart's content.

An old lady next to them, who was full and had nothing to do, enthusiastically chatted with Lin Qingyue:

"Little girl, you are really handsome? Have you been promised to anyone? My grandson is talented, if you see him, you will definitely like him."

Lin Qingyue smiled slightly: "Grandma, I am already married." - although she will be divorced soon.

"Ah? That's really a pity, my grandson has no luck!" The old lady sighed and turned her gaze to Dongfang Yan.

Dongfang Yan hurriedly said: "I already have a sweetheart."

The old lady rolled her eyes at him: "I don't have a granddaughter, whether you have a sweetheart or not has nothing to do with me!"

Dongfang Yan: "..."

The old lady seemed to really like Lin Qingyue, pulling her to chat about family affairs, and even said: "If you live a bad life with your husband in the future, just come to Jade Town after divorcing. Grandma likes you!"

Lin Qingyue was a little surprised: "Grandma, where did you get this from?"

The old lady said: "You are already married, if the husband and wife are harmonious, how could you still come out to make a living with your younger brother? It must be that the one at home is not a good thing, making you suffer!"

Lin Qingyue never expected that a rural old lady would be so transparent, guessing eight or nine out of ten.

And she also took this opportunity to inquire about the evil spirit events that had appeared recently from the old lady.

The old lady said: "You asked the right person! I know all the families in the town who had accidents! The most recent one was a family five days ago."

"That is the richest person in our town, with a lively brain, buying jade from the town and selling it to other places, earning a lot of money. Once a man has money, he takes concubines. He is also a person who doesn't believe in evil, and chose the evening as the auspicious time."

"As a result, that night..." The old lady said, clicking her tongue and sighing twice, "Miserable! The bride went crazy and took that... the most important thing on the man's body, and bit it off alive!"

"But the next day, the newly taken concubine recovered her sanity and forgot everything about the previous night. You say, is it strange?"

"Oh, there was another time that was also weird! That family was also taking a concubine, and the bride went crazy in the bridal chamber, crying and making a scene. The groom's family was scared, and locked her room door in the middle of the night, afraid she would come out to make trouble. As a result, in the middle of the night, I heard humming and chirping sounds coming from the bridal chamber."

"The groom poked through the window paper and saw the bride's clothes were all off, and a black shadow was lying on her body doing... doing that thing!"

"If I hadn't heard that you were married, I definitely wouldn't have told you about such filthy things." During the conversation, the old lady also glared at Dongfang Yan, "Don't eavesdrop, the hairy boy doesn't know anything!"

Hairy boy Dongfang Yan: "..."

The wedding banquet was eaten until the evening.

Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Yan stayed here, waiting to see if there would be any changes next.

Waiting and waiting, until the bridal chamber extinguished the lights, and the sound of the newlyweds' joy was vaguely heard.

Although separated by half a courtyard, their ears and eyes were different from ordinary people, and they could hear everything in detail.

Lin Qingyue couldn't help but look at Dongfang Yan: "Your face is red again, you really are a hairy boy."

Dongfang Yan retorted: "Aren't you still a yellow-flower girl? Listening to the wall here, don't you feel... don't you feel shy?"

Lin Qingyue really had no shame. After all, she was a female emperor who had a harem in her previous life, especially she had favored one person exclusively. To say she was an old hand in the wind and moon field was not an exaggeration.

However, looking at the pure and shy face of the man beside her, she felt that she seemed to be set off as an old hooligan.

So she couldn't help but explain for herself: "I actually don't have the habit of eavesdropping on the wall, I'm just worried that something will happen inside."

Dongfang Yan didn't believe it: "But I just saw you smile!"

"Did I smile?" Lin Qingyue denied it to the end, "That must be you seeing it wrong!"
