As a Villain, He Relies on Coquettishness to Rise to Power

Chapter 96 Paper Wedding Dress (96)

Miss Wu looked at Yu Mu who was silent and cold beside her, and smiled lightly: "I guess this is Miss Yu, right?"

Yu Mu looked up at her coldly, pursed her thin red lips, and there was no emotion on her beautiful face.

"Miss Wu, we came to you this time because we have something to tell you." Yu Mu looked indifferent, and Li Jingjing was really afraid that Miss Wu would drive them out, so she had to quickly tell them the purpose of this time: "Miss Wu, this marriage cannot be done!"

As soon as these words came out, the maids in the room looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air seemed to become heavy.

Miss Wu paused, and there was undisguised doubt in her eyes. Miss Wu asked Li Jingjing: "Miss Li, why do you say that?"

"Because you are going to marry a ghost groom, and a ghost groom is not a human being!!" Li Jingjing replied without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Miss Wu smiled bitterly, "Who doesn't know this?"

Miss Wu's reaction made Li Jingjing stunned. Li Jingjing recalled what he had just said, slapped his head, and said, "No, that's not what I mean! The ghost groom you are going to marry is indeed not a human, but you are not marrying him, but..."

Li Jingjing racked his brains but couldn't think of a suitable word. Wu Juan whispered, "The so-called ghost groom does not exist at all. Everything was caused by the sorcerer who appeared in the town two years ago."

Miss Wu's breathing stagnated, "What do you mean?"

"There is only one male corpse on Fuling Mountain." Wu Juan looked into Miss Wu's eyes and said, "From beginning to end, there is no such thing as a ghost groom. The sorcerer's words that he needs you, elder sister, to sacrifice the ghost groom are all false. He just wants to use you, elder sister, to revive the male corpse."

Miss Wu's body trembled and she almost fell off the bed. The maid next to her hurriedly supported her.

The maid looked worried and whispered, "Miss, take care of yourself."

Miss Wu supported the maid's arm and sat on the bed tremblingly, holding the side of the bed tightly with her hand.

Her emotions fluctuated greatly, her brows frowned, and she quickly covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed violently.

The maid next to her raised her hand and patted her back, and then quickly handed her tea.

Miss Wu took the tea and drank it, calmed down, and then slowly said, "A Juan, are you telling the truth?"

Wu Juan nodded lightly: "Absolutely true. My sister and I saw the male corpse in the tomb with our own eyes."

Miss Wu: "If that's the case... then..."

Miss Wu choked up, her fingertips tightly grasping the white handkerchief in her hand.

Li Jingjing could feel the sense of confusion from her, but she never felt the relief and relief she wanted to see.

Li Jingjing was very confused. She frowned and couldn't help asking Miss Wu: "Now the ghost groom is just a fake. Everything is the conspiracy of the sorcerer named Zixu. Miss Wu, you don't have to get married, aren't you happy?"

"Happy?"

Miss Wu laughed as if she heard something ridiculous, and her pale face looked a little self-deprecating.

"What's the point of me being happy? Can those missing brides come back?"

Miss Wu's eyes were empty. "The townspeople asked me to marry the ghost groom to keep the area safe. I didn't think it was a big deal. I wasn't sad or afraid. Anyway, my body can't last for a few years, so I might as well help those in need."
