Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

th Ye Jiao!

Ye Ersao naturally wouldn’t let Ye Jiao take away a single copper coin from the house.
What’s more, this golden bracelet looked like it had some weight.
She didn’t know how Ye Jiao hid it until now!

Seeing that the sedan chair was about to go, Ye Ersao reached out and grabbed Ye Jiao’s arm, her voice eagerly said, “Jiao Niang, this is something from your maiden family, you can’t just bring it to someone else’s house, let me take it off!”

Ye Jiao, whose soul already changed, looked at the yellowish woman with disgust and wanted to withdraw her hand, only to find that the woman was very strong, and she cannot get away after struggling.

This changed Ye Jiao’s expression.

She heard from the fox a long time ago that people have always been malicious towards spirits.
If they are discovered, they will probably be burned to death.

She didn’t understand a word of this woman’s gibberish, but the strong desire to survive made Ye Jiao struggle harder.
She even reached out and pushed Ye Ersao!

“Ah!” Ye Ersao screamed and stepped back abruptly.

The sobbing that was just a pretense before has become a real sobs, and her tears can’t stop.

Unfortunately for her, the neighbors all around are thinking that Ye Ersao was acting again.
After all, this woman can even sell her husband’s sister for Chongxi.
What else can she dare not do?

Ye Ersao was so angry, but the sedan chair was lifted up, the firecrackers were lit, and the sound of gongs and drums started; leaving only Ye Ersao behind, clutching her hands and grinning.

Ye Jiao originally wanted to run away after pushing her.
However, at the moment when the sedan chair was lifted up, suddenly, memories of the original Ye Jiao bombarded the little ginseng’s head.

It took a while for the little ginseng spirit to finally understand that she has not gained a human form.
Instead, she entered someone else’s body…

Now, she was forced to marry someone who is dying?

If it was other people, they would cry with despair, blaming the unfair destiny.

But the little ginseng spirit is very happy.

She doesn’t know what a marriage is, so she doesn’t care whether her future mate will be dead or alive.

All she knows was that she has a proper identity, and she can finally be a human being!

But soon, Ye Jiao found out that being a human is not easy.

Why would someone have to be carried on the back to enter the door?

Why did she have to cross a brazier?

Why… has she heard a rooster cry?

After tossing for a while, Ye Jiao finally stood in the hall and looked at the big rooster beside her with a blank look.
She looked at the red silk tied to the big rooster, and at the other end of the red silk on her hand.
She suddenly felt that being a human is so hard, there are so many confusing things.

But this chicken is quite fat, not sure if it would taste good.

Little ginseng spirit, who has never eaten meat, admitted that she was drooling.

The two elders of the Qi family looked at Ye Jiao, who was standing upright, and their expressions were not very good.

Buying this “Ye Jiao” from the Ye family, they didn’t care about her physical appearance.
They bought her because the Ye family from the next village was the only one willing to marry their daughter off to their Qi family.

The health of their second son, Qi Yun, was indeed deteriorating in the past few years, even to the point of dying.
No family would like their daughter to be married off only to become a widow soon after.

When they met someone willing to be a Chongxi bride, the second elder of the Qi family didn’t even have time to look at Ye Jiao.
They just hurriedly found a day and let her come to be married.

Since it is a Chongxi, it must be grand and festive.

Although the Qi family is not wealthier than those rich people in the city, they can be regarded as rich in the village.
They even prepared a big feast, and many people were invited.

Who knows, this Ye Jiao has been standing here for a long time, and she is motionless!

The smile on Liu-shi‘s6 face was slightly slipping.
She naturally knew that it was normal for a good girl, who will be married only to become a widow, to feel unhappy.
But if you were not willing, say it earlier.
They are all here now, who will not give them some face??

However, Liu-shi‘s eyes moved to the rooster, and her anger turned into sadness.

Her Yun’er, why can’t he live a little longer…

Liu-shi covered her mouth and wanted to cry, but she was afraid of disturbing the auspicious time of this good day, so she could only hold back until her face turned red.

An old lady from the village who often gossip around came to Ye Jiao.
She grabbed her by the arm, and with a lower voice, she told her, “Bride, kneel down, kneel to worship.”

Ye Jiao’s eyes were still staring at the big rooster at that moment, so there was no response.

All of a sudden, there was a noise in the crowd.

Liu-shi looked at the incoming person and stood up abruptly, her eyes widened.

Ye Jiao soon felt that her other hand was being caught.

This person’s hand was a bit cold, and Ye Jiao subconsciously tightened her fingers.

Then, she heard a low voice in her ear, “Take the chicken away.
I’m not dead yet.”
