"Then let's wait, we'll know tomorrow!" Lord Ning sighed.

There is no wall that wind cannot penetrate. The news that Young Master Ning's wish remained unfulfilled, and he needed to marry a ghost bride to appease his resentment, spread throughout Qingshan County overnight.

The next day, at the Ning family's ancestral hall.

Lady Ning, after crying all night, leaned weakly on a chair beside her, her eyes blankly staring at the coffin draped in white.

A close female friend stood beside her, two female friends squatted by the coffin burning incense.

Lord Ning also had a sleepless night, sitting on the other side, sighing with worry.

The eldest daughter anxiously looked out the spirit hall doorway, occasionally glancing at the hourglass inside the room.

"It's almost dawn. Why hasn't anyone from the Han family come yet?" she muttered to herself, pacing anxiously at the door, going in circles.

After a while, the steward rushed over here.

"Master, Madam, someone from the Han family is here!"

Hearing this, both Master Ning and Madam Ning stood up from their seats at the same time. Master Ning rushed to the front of the hall.

The one who came was the housekeeper of the Han family.

Ning DaRen glanced at the empty space behind the Han family's steward, his face filled with disappointment.

Yet, he still led the Han family's steward into the spirit hall.

"Han Butler, why are you the only one here? Where's my sister's brother-in-law?" Ning Da Ren asked after coming to a stop.

"The Han steward said, "Sir, my master sent me to apologize on his behalf,"

“My young mistress, overcome with sorrow, fell ill upon returning home yesterday. She has been in a state of half-consciousness ever since, barely able to eat more than a few sips of rice porridge over the past day and unable to walk.”

"I have my wife staying at home to look after the young lady, and I can't spare any time to come over."

Upon hearing the housekeeper's words, the Ning family understood.

Mrs. Ning's heart sank to the bottom instantly, and the four daughters behind her were also filled with anger.

"What does 'aunt's father' mean?"

"Miss, my master also said that when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Miss and Master are simply destined to have no connection; they can only follow fate."

“This is the annulment document from our Han family. Please accept it, Uncle Grandfather.”

Upon receiving the letter of annulment, Lord Ning's hand trembled uncontrollably.

Behind her, Lady Ning wept bitterly, covering her face.

The Korean housekeeper, seeing this, said again, “Uncle master and Auntie please keep your composure and accept the inevitable. If there is nothing else you require, I shall take my leave now.”

After Han, the steward, hurried away, the four elder sisters of Ning Su were unable to hold back their anger and began to reprimand him.

"The Han family was too much. Even if they didn't agree, at least give us a heads up in advance! To do this right on time like this, how are we supposed to manage?"

Here is the translation:

“And that little Pearl, yesterday she cried like she was going to die, almost as if she wanted to commit suicide for our younger brother.”

“Isn’t it just about letting her come over and pay respects to the memorial, a formality? It’s not like we actually want to put her in the coffin to be buried with our brother! As for faking illness…”

Hearing the furious accusations from several of her daughters, Ning’s expression was unusually grave. Ning's wife wept so hard she almost fainted.

"My child, it's our fault as parents that we couldn't fulfill your wish..."

Weeping and weeping, Master Ci Ning came again with two young novice monks.

"Last night, was it still quiet at home?" Master Cining asked as soon as he entered the door.

Mr. Ning shook his head. "It's even more ferocious than last night. Our whole family hid in the spirit hall and didn't dare go anywhere else, especially after midnight, the entire courtyard was filled with cat meows. When we went out to drive them away, we couldn't even see half of them..."

Master Cining nodded slightly: "This has made the young master impatient. As they say, while alive they are relatives, but after death they become tigers."

“Have you found a spouse for your spirit marriage?” Master Cining asked again.

Ning Da Ren shook his head.

"The Han family refused. Master Ci Ning, could the partner for this arranged marriage be changed?" he asked.

Master Cining pondered for a moment and said, “It is possible to replace him, but the one who replaces him must be someone that Young Master had a connection with in life.”

Either she is a woman with an engagement, or she is a concubine who is favored in her daily life.

>

"If it were just any random stranger, she wouldn't be able to satisfy the young master's desires, and the marriage ceremony couldn't be completed."

After hearing Master Cining's words, Lord Ning felt troubled.

“My son has always been a man of virtue and integrity. Aside from the marriage we have arranged for him, he has had no other concubines...”

"Master!"

Mrs. Ning suddenly raised her head and strode towards this side.

"There was also a woman, from Changping Village. Didn't your Lordship forget?" asked Lady Ning.

Ning Da-ren was startled, as if something came back to him.

“That woman…” Lord Ning seemed to have something to say but held back, his expression of embarrassment growing even more apparent.

The other day, she secretly sent fifty taels of silver to the steward and told him to give it to the family who had been harassing them, warning them not to bother them again.

Suddenly, you're asking someone's daughter to be your spirit spouse?

Don't say that they definitely won't pay attention, even if it were you, you wouldn't have the face to speak up!

“That’s right, Father, the girl named Xiaoyu from Changping Village is the one our younger brother admires most. Should we try to ask for her hand?” Ning Su's elder sister suggested.

The proposal was immediately refuted.

"This is Qianyuan County, a day's journey back and forth from Changping Village. We can't make it in time!"

"Oh, our poor brother, he was helpless in life and now even in death, he can't find peace. Ohhhh..." The sister closest to Ning Su broke down first.

The other sisters also cried sadly, it was both heartbreaking and helpless.

Master Cinning stood aside, shaking his head and sighing helplessly, as if he could do nothing to help.

The sand in the hourglass is flowing steadily, and it's almost time for Chen.

The Ning family were all very despairing.

However, just at that moment, the butler rushed into the backyard to deliver a message.

“Master, Madam, a woman has arrived at the door. She claims to be from Changping Village and wishes to see the young master for one last time.”

At the sound of these words, the Ning family was shocked.

“Changping Village person? Could it be…”

In the hall of mourning, when a young woman in red, Xiao Yu, stepped in one step at a time, the Ning family was astonished.

The woman before me is slender and beautiful.

Her pale and emaciated face, highlighted by the fiery red wedding gown, possessed a breathtakingly stunning beauty.

Not only were the Ning family members dumbfounded, but even Yang Ruqing, who was following behind them, was speechless.

Today's light rain is so beautiful!

"Ning, Big Brother!"

Xiaoyu entered the spirit hall. Seeing the white-ribboned, gold-silk nanmu coffin ahead, Xiaoyu's legs froze.

"Big Brother Ning, Xiaoyu is here, Xiaoyu came to accompany you!"

Then, a wistful smile curved her lips as she clutched her skirt and ran towards the coffin.

It's like running into the embrace of happiness.

Someone was about to stop him, but Lady Ning stopped them.

Xiaoyu ran towards the coffin so smoothly, raising her hand to gently touch every inch of it, as if touching the most beloved treasure in the world.
