Chapter 94: Evil Stepmother

What did she have to get used to? She didn’t want to get used to him, wouldn’t get used to him, and couldn’t get used to him!!

Ahhhhhh…

Liu Sanniang took a few deep breaths and pretended not to hear Chu Yan’s words.

Chu Yan smiled. He looked at the petite figure in front of him and his ink-like expression darkened. He asked her in a low voice. “Do you want me to call you Sanniang or what?”

Liu Sanniang was already his. Madam Wei and Mr. Liu had acknowledged him as their son-in-law. Since she was too afraid of him, he had to let her get used to him slowly.

Liu Sanniang blushed and clenched her fists. They were not engaged yet, but she already wanted to run away.

She quickened her pace and avoided Chu Yan’s question.

However, no matter how fast Liu Sanniang walked, Chu Yan was always a step away behind her.

Liu Sanniang was tired and panting when Chu Yan reached out and pulled her.

Liu Sanniang was so frightened that she almost screamed. She tried her best to shake off Chu Yan’s hand, but no matter how, she could not remove it. Chu Yan was so close to her that she could feel his breath on her face. Liu Sanniang felt a little suffocated.

Chu Yan said huskily, “Slow down. Drink some water before you continue.”

He was like a wolf, and Liu Sanniang was a sheep. Facing the danger of being eaten at any moment, Liu Sanniang had to remain vigilant at all times.

Chu Yan looked at her and handed the kettle to her before letting her go.

Liu Sanniang took a few steps back and finally felt safer.

She slowly calmed her breathing. She didn’t drink the water though.

Chu Yan’s voice was firm and authoritative as he said, “You’re tired. Drink some water.”

Only then did Liu Sanniang take a few sips. After drinking the water, the kettle was taken away by Chu Yan.

Liu Sanniang looked at him in a daze.

Chu Yan smiled. “You can continue now.”

Liu Sanniang felt her face burning. This time, she did not dare to walk too quickly. Before long, she was a little confused. She had never been to Yang Village before, so she did not know where to go.

Chu Yan smiled. “I know.”

Liu Sanniang looked up at him and saw the smug smile on his smile. Her heart skipped a beat but she said in a casual voice, “Then, take me there.”

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes. “If you want a horse to run, you need to feed it some grass.”

Liu Sanniang blushed. “You, you’re not an animal…”

After she finished speaking, Chu Yan chuckled.

He walked forward. “Remember… you owe me something.”

In the future, he would slowly collect what she owed to him.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan and knew that her intuition was right. He was an especially dangerous person.

However, for some reason, their paths had crossed in this life.

If so, would Chu Yan still join the army? Would he still become the famous General of Dingbei?

Liu Sanniang did not know this.

However, it was true when Chu Yan said that he knew the way.

Yang Village was a little far from Yong County. When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan arrived there, it was already three in the afternoon. Yang Qingshan lived at the end of the village. His house was still the straw hut which he had built when he grew up. It had four rooms without a courtyard, and there was a large open space outside.

As he did not have much money himself to hold a wedding, none of his relatives came. There were only some people from the village who wanted to see the show.

Madam Zhou said with a smile, “Qingshan, Ju’er, I have a big gift for you.”

When Liu Ju’er saw Madam Zhou’s wicked smile, she had a bad feeling.

Yang Qingshan did not understand. He respected Madam Zhou as an elder and said kindly, “Thank you, Mother.”

Liu Ju’er’s face was pale, but with makeup, it was not obvious. She grabbed her sleeves nervously.

Madam Zhou smiled and cleared her throat. “Everyone here knows that Qingshan is a pitiful child. His parents passed away early. What a pitiful child!”

Madam Zhou spoke with great emotion and even wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Everyone present could not help but be moved.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan did not show themselves. They hid in the distance and watched.

After Madam Zhou finished speaking, she smiled and said, “This is Granny Zhou, a witch I invited over. She’s very capable. The thing parents want to see the most is their children getting married. As a mother, I know very well what a woman’s greatest wish is. Granny Zhou is able to bring Qingshan’s parents back from the netherworld to watch their son getting married today.”

The onlookers were shocked. “Is it true?”

Madam Zhou smiled and said, “Of course it’s true. Granny Zhou will bring them back to see their daughter-in-law and watch her kowtow to them. After that, we will be relieved.”

Yang Qingshan frowned. “There’s no need. Tomorrow, I’ll bring Ju’er to the graveyard and pay respects to my parents.”

Yang Qingshan felt that Madam Zhou was going too far out of her way to do this.

Standing beside Liu Ju’er, he could feel her trembling. As her husband, he naturally had to protect her.

Madam Zhou stopped smiling and said, “Qingshan, is that what a son is supposed to say? Your parents couldn’t live to see you getting married. Are you even going to stop them from coming back to see it?”

She had spent a lot of money to make this marriage ominous. Without a good ending, her money and effort would be in vain.

A woman’s marriage was a matter of a lifetime. Liu Ju’er would have to live a hard life here for the rest of her years. If she did not start off well, she would not be good in the future.

Yang Qingshan could not refute her. If he did, people would think that he wasn’t a good son.

The onlookers looked at Madam Zhou expectantly, wanting to see a good show.

They asked. “Do you want to prepare anything? Just tell us, we’ll go and get it.”

Madam Zhou smiled and asked for two big roosters and 666 copper coins. Needless to say, Liu Ju’er would be the one to pay these back.
