Chapter 697 - Posthumous Marriage, Wei Weis Appearance (1/2)
Yan Liu’er was utterly terrified. The fear distracted her and the teacup in her hand fell to the floor and shattered!
The noise definitely caught Old Lady w.a.n.g’s attention. She slowly tilted her head up and looked at Yan Liu’er’s face. A creepy smile spread across her face as she said, “You saw everything, didn’t you?”
Yan Liu’er pretended to be calm, but she could not hide the fear in her eyes. She tried to look normal as usual. “What are you saying? What did I see? Hehe, I’ll take my leave first. The thing you mentioned just now, I’ll think about it at home.”
Upon saying that, Yan Liu’er turned to leave, but the wooden door was impossible to be opened.
Yan Liu’er was now anxious, even her hands were moving quicker, like a mouse scampering for dear life.
The old voice that resembled a dead person became more overbearing. “Liu’er, you’ve disappointed me so much. I never thought that you would be just like those other girls, you all love the rich and despise the poor. No matter how nice you pretend to be on the outside, you still care about wealth on the inside…”
This time, Yan Liu’er did not reply Old Lady w.a.n.g. She kept shaking the wooden door with both hands, all she wanted was to leave this scary place.
She tried to scream for help, but she felt weak throughout her body. The voice that came out of her was so small that it could barely be heard.
It was the tea that she drank!
Her tea was spiked!
Yan Liu’er slumped against the wooden door before she crumpled to the ground. There was no strength in her fingers, only her consciousness remained. She saw Old Lady w.a.n.g’s face, which was covered with livor-mortis, getting nearer and nearer. She tried desperately to keep away from her.
Old Lady w.a.n.g slowly raised her arms…
Just then, a man in a scholar outfit stood sideways in front of Yan Liu’er, blocking her. He looked into Old Lady w.a.n.g’s eyes, pleading, “Mother, you know Liu’er is not that kind of person. She probably just haven’t thought it through, please give her more time to consider.”
“Brother Ling!” Yan Liu’er felt like she finally met a normal person. She grasped onto his arm like it was a lifeline, and asked quietly, “What happened to Old Lady w.a.n.g? What are those things on her hands and face?”
w.a.n.g Ling did not know how to answer Yan Liu’er, so he just shook his head.
Yan Liu’er was so terrified, her face had turned pale. Yet she continued, “Brother Ling, I know you always obeyed Old Lady w.a.n.g, but…”
Old Lady w.a.n.g could not hear Yan Liu’er’s words, she just glared at w.a.n.g Ling with displeasure in her eyes. However, she finally stopped her choking gesture, and her eyes darkened.
“Ah Ling, you’re perfect in every way, but not steely enough.” Old Lady w.a.n.g laughed coldly, then turned to Yan Liu’er, “Forget it, according to my principles, girls like you are not qualified to be Ah Ling’s wife, but Ah Ling likes you anyway. Plus I don’t have much time left, there’s no need for you to go home and consider. Tonight is a good timing, Ah Ling, go get that pair of wedding outfits that I made. You wear one and let Liu’er wear the other one. Seeing that she had always cared about me, if she behaves and completes the wedding ceremony with you, we’ll be a family from then on.”
w.a.n.g Ling did not move, as if he was hesitating.
