Today is my wedding day. My husband's family is the richest family in An City, the Lu family. However, my wedding is so low-key that only my family and the Lu family know about it because the person I'm marrying is an idiot.
Mrs. Lu, who is also my mother-in-law, said that she did not want anyone to know that the Lu family had a silly son, so everything was simple. It was so simple that she did not even get a marriage certificate. I have never even met my future husband.
I know that the Lu family just wants to find someone to take care of that silly son, but I don't care. Anyway, I'm here for the betrothal money.
At seven o'clock in the evening, I was brought to the old mansion behind the Lambert's villa in a Chinese wedding dress. The old door was open, and there was no light inside. Under the hazy moonlight, the entire old house looked gloomy.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Everything was really simple.
"Take this in and burn it." Grandma, who was standing beside me, handed me a piece of red paper and a lighter and urged,"Hurry up and go in!"
"Oh." I took the red paper and obediently walked into the old house.
The door behind him was immediately closed, and the sound of it being locked could be heard.
The other half of the betrothal gift money hasn't been given to me yet. How can I run away? It's really unnecessary.
I muttered as I looked around. Under the hazy light, everything I saw was desolate.
The Lu family was so rich, but they actually let their silly son live here alone. They were really heartless.
I sighed lightly and looked at the red paper in my hand. There were two names written on it, Shen Yan and Lu Jinhuan. Below the names were the eight characters of their birth, as well as some words that looked like symbols that I couldn't understand.
Shen Yan is my name, so Lu Jinhuan should be my husband that I've never met before.
However…
What kind of custom was it to write their names on red paper and burn them?
I frowned in confusion, but I still followed the instructions and lit the red paper.
Just as the red paper burned out, a black mist suddenly approached me. Before I could react, the black mist entered my body.
Then, my mind became dizzy. My body was controlled by a force as I walked deeper into the old residence.
After passing through a long corridor, I arrived at the backyard. There was a well in the middle of the courtyard, and I was currently walking towards that well.
Soon, I stood on the edge of the well and jumped down without hesitation.
The cold water of the well corroded my muscles and bones. I shivered violently and regained consciousness. Only then did I realize that I had actually fallen into the well.
I grabbed the well wall in panic, but I felt an invisible force pressing me into the water. I struggled desperately and called for help,"Help! Help…"
Besides me, there's also the landlord's silly son in this house. I'm not sure if he can hear my cry for help and will come to save me, but I really don't want to die yet.
However, he didn't appear. The well water poured into my mouth and nose. I choked until my chest swelled up. After struggling for a while, I lost all my strength and quickly sank.
The well water quickly flooded my head. The suffocating feeling surrounded me tightly. My heart was filled with helplessness and despair.
My short life can be summed up in four words.
When I was eight years old, my parents and grandmother passed away one after another. I was brought home by my uncle to raise me. My aunt never treated me well. After living under someone else's roof for more than ten years, I finally managed to graduate from university and start working. I thought I could start a new life, but my uncle had an accident.
In order to pay for the high medical fees, I married the silly son of the Lu family. Forget it, I actually had to die in the well on my wedding night.
Ha! Is there anyone more miserable than me in this world?
Just as I was about to lose consciousness, a strong arm wrapped around my waist and brought me out of the water.
Phew--
He was saved!
I panted with difficulty and opened my eyes. It was dark in the well. I couldn't see who saved me. I could only feel that the embrace was so cold.
That person hugged me and lightly jumped, directly returning to the surface from the bottom of the well.
The moonlight was dim, and the air was filled with mist. Under such hazy light, I tried my best to see the person's appearance clearly.
It was a handsome face with fair skin, clear eyebrows, bright eyes, and well-defined facial features. It could be said to be perfect.
However, at this moment, his good-looking eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his fair face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip down. He looked very unhappy.
"She's not from the Lu family. Don't touch her!”His thin lips opened and closed as he coldly spat out these words. He carried me and quickly left the backyard.
I curled up in his cold embrace, shivering because of the cold and fear.
Just now, he carried me and flew up from the bottom of the well. This is definitely not something that a normal person can do. Moreover, his body is abnormally cold. I couldn't feel the slightest bit of life from him.
The only explanation was that he was not human at all!
Then…could he be the silly son that the Lu family had mentioned?
No, the age doesn't match. Just now, I glanced at the birth characters on the red paper. The silly son of the Lu family should be in his thirties, but this person in front of me is only a few years older than me.
The problem is, my mother-in-law said that the silly son of the Lu family lives here alone. If he's not the silly son of the Lu family, who else can he be?
I swallowed nervously and asked tentatively,"Are you Lu Jinhuan?"
She kept praying in her heart that he would not give her a definite answer. She would rather have a silly husband than a ghost husband.
"Yes." One word, crisp and clear, but it immediately made my scalp go numb and my hair stand on end.
He was really Lu Jinhuan!
An unprecedented fear climbed into my heart. My lips trembled, and after a long time, I finally said,"You're a ghost…"
Before I could finish, he had already replied,"Yes."
With a bang, something exploded in my mind.
Even though I had already guessed it, I still found it hard to accept the fact after hearing his affirmative answer. This simply overturned my understanding of this world.
So there really were ghosts in this world!
In my panic, I realized that I had been deceived. The Lu family did not have a stupid son at all. They had a ghost son.
The one I really want to marry is a ghost!
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that he wasn't an evil spirit. He didn't harm me, but saved me. Otherwise, I would have died in the well just now.
Lu Jinhuan carried me to the door and suddenly bent down, his thin lips directly covering mine.
A bone-chilling chill spread from my lips to my entire body. My heart trembled. I was actually kissed by a ghost! My first kiss!
I wanted to push him away, but he held me even tighter. I could only widen my eyes and look at those cold eyes in horror.
His kiss went from shallow to deep. Gradually, my mind became chaotic and I completely gave up resisting.
When Lu Jinhuan moved his thin lips away, I suddenly realized that my originally groggy mind suddenly cleared up.
I won't save you a second time." After he finished speaking coldly, he placed me on the ground and turned around to walk into the depths of the house.
The locked door suddenly opened on its own.
His cold words were accompanied by a gust of chilly wind." Tell Lu Yuanshan that I won't let the Lu family off."”
His voice was very faint, but there was a strong hatred in his tone.
Lu Jinhuan resents the Lu family. What about me, who was sent here by the Lu family? Did he hate her as well?#
