Chapter 1 A red thing meets a white thing

The autumn wind is bleak and the suona sounds.

A bright red sedan chair swayed through the path filled with fallen leaves and bumped into a coffin covered with white silk at the corner.

Xi Po, who was walking next to the sedan chair, was startled, exclaimed and touched her heart.

"Hey! Why can I hear the sound of suona from a distance? This suona for red affairs meets the suona for white affairs. Tsk tsk, it's unlucky!"

She composed herself, covered her lips with a red silk handkerchief, chuckled twice, and her expression changed from panic to joy.

She had received a piece of silver from Aunt Mei, and she was confident that it would make the wedding more "lively". Now that this happened, shouldn't she have to take advantage of it quickly?

The leader of the funeral procession over there was the eldest son of the deceased. He was dressed in filial piety, but there was no look of grief on his face. He came over cursing.

"Hey, you blind woman, don't you see that we are doing nothing? Why don't you get out of the way!"

Po Xi slapped her neck: "Humph, it's just a dead man. The person sitting on this sedan chair is the daughter of our Duke's palace. If Princess Xiao of the Northern Jiang Dynasty wants to let her go, it's you who have to let her go!"

The man sneered: "Who doesn't know that Prince Xiao is a cripple who is about to die? The bride has died before she even gets home!"

The atmosphere was tense. Seeing two groups of people rolling up their sleeves and about to get started, the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly opened.

A hand as white as jade was exposed, accompanied by a soft but firm voice.

"People have human nature, and ghosts have their own ways. You took my father to the human realm, and you have already made him very angry. You still don't know how to repent. Do you have to cause trouble to know how to repent?"

The man was stunned, and his eyebrows suddenly stood up: "What is the way of humanity and ghosts? Today, I am going to take this road! Keep moving forward!"

He pushed Xipo away and tried to move forward, but unexpectedly, his foot stumbled and he fell down on the flat road.

"Ouch!"

The man climbed up with difficulty and felt a warm current running down his chin.

When I touched it subconsciously, I found two broken front teeth.

"What the hell!"

He spat out a mouthful of bloody water and was about to ask the servants behind him to continue playing when the butler on the side ran over in a panic.

"Master, something is wrong. Our suona just suddenly... suddenly stopped making any sound!"

The housekeeper glanced at the sedan with lingering fear, and said in a low voice, "Master, I heard that Prince Xiao is very evil, and Princess Xiao is probably an unlucky person as well, so we'd better avoid her!"

The man was flustered for a moment and did not dare to say anything more. He could only turn around in confusion: "It's useless, find another way for me!"

The servants carrying the coffin complained inwardly, but as soon as they changed the route, they felt that the coffin, which was so heavy just now, suddenly became much lighter.

Thinking back to what the man in the sedan said just now, I couldn't help but shudder.

Mu Chuanning sat in the sedan, looking at the resentment gradually dissipating above the retreating team, and gently lowered the curtain of the sedan.

"Let's go."

She gently rubbed the agate beads left by her mother on her hand, her thoughts swirling.

Ten years ago, her mother rescued His Majesty and the young Prince Xiao from a group of crazy ligers and asked His Majesty for a marriage contract with Prince Xiao.

But not long after, her mother died in a mysterious fire. She was also thrown into the countryside by her father, Mu Jianli, who doted on his concubines and killed his wives, and was raised by her grandmother.

Now that King Xiao was on the verge of death, Mu Jianli wanted to please the royal family again, so he took her back to fulfill the engagement and celebrate the occasion.

A flash of coldness flashed in Mu Chuan Ning's eyes.

She had no relationship with that family. If her grandmother, who had not returned home for many days, had not said before she left that she was in the capital on business, she would never have let that loser Mu Jianli find her.

While I was thinking about it, the sedan slowly stopped.

Xipo opened the sedan curtain, impatience flashed in her eyes.

"The palace has arrived, let the bride get off the sedan."

After a complicated procedure was completed, Mu Chuanning was sent to the bridal chamber.

She lifted the heavy hijab from her head and looked at the layout of the new house.

Although there was red makeup everywhere, there was only one paper lantern lit in the house, and the red light enveloped the whole house, making it look strange and eerie.

There are these little paper-cut figures on the wall, with twisted smiles on their faces and hollow eyes.

Mu Chuan Ning curled his lips. If this new house was a place of honor, it could be used as a mourning hall. He didn't know what Prince Xiao had done to get someone to write something like the underworld.

A faint aroma came, with a sticky and ambiguous smell.

Mu Chuanning frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the incense burner not far away.

It is the fragrance of joy.

Her eyes darkened and she pinched them gently.

I heard that King Xiao had lost all his energy and blood and was hanging with only one breath left. I am afraid this incense was not ordered for him.

Mu Chuan Ning narrowed his eyes and glanced at the door.

"Why are you so sneaky? I'm just a weak woman, can I still eat you?"

The door creaked open, and several young men with sinister faces poked their heads out.

"Since the princess already knows, then just lie down and serve us well, so as not to suffer the physical pain."

The leading boy's eyes wandered around Mu Chuan Ning's slender body, "It's just you who offended someone!"

Mu Chuanning lowered her eyelashes and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

She had just returned to the capital, and it seemed that she had already blocked the way of many people.

Just as he was about to speak, a pain suddenly rose from his heart. Mu Chuanning covered his chest, blood sliding down his lips.

The boys were startled and started to murmur when they looked at her bloodless face.

"Isn't this woman also a sick person who is dying?"

The leader gritted his teeth: "Don't worry about that, it's important to complete what the lady told you!"

As he said that, he made a gesture to step forward.

Mu Chuan Ning sat on the bed naturally, with no fear in her honey-colored eyes.

"It seems that you have been instigated by others, but I am afraid that this work can only be done by one person. Have you thought about who will do this?"

Her voice was soft and soft, but it was like a golden thread that entangled several people together.

The boys felt dizzy for a while, and when they came back to their senses, they looked at their companions with only one thought in their eyes.

We must not let this group of people take away our credit!

"Grandma, take credit from me and go to hell!"

I don’t know who made the first move, and the beautiful wedding room suddenly turned into a complete martial arts affair.

Mu Chuan Ning looked at the group of empty-eyed men huddled together with crooked eyebrows, and unconsciously turned the beads on her hands with her fingers.

It's a pity that if her spirit leopard hadn't lost half of its soul for no reason, their fight would have been more exciting.

When she was seven years old, she went up the mountain to collect medicine and rescued a golden leopard that was poisoned. However, she accidentally fell off a cliff while searching for the antidote.

The spirit leopard raised by nature saved her with its own soul, and since then it has been her twin, giving her some strange abilities.

But a few days ago, she sent Lingbao to look for her grandmother, but only half of her soul came back. Maybe something happened in the capital.

Since that day, her body has become weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Mu Chuan Ning's eyes darkened a bit.

She will definitely find out everything and make those people pay the price.

Feeling hungry in her belly, Mu Chuan Ning watched the fight between the boys with a smile while quickly rescuing a bright red apple from the fruit plate that was about to be turned over.

Just as she was about to put it into her mouth, a big, pale hand with distinct joints suddenly stretched out from behind her and grabbed her wrist.

Mu Chuan Ning was startled and turned around suddenly.

Facing him, he saw a pair of eyes as deep as ink.
