Chapter 43 The trump card
Dark marriage?

Chu Wujiang then turned his attention to the woman next to Lu Ce, Lin Youwei's fiancée - Si Li.

Si Li was wearing a plain white dress made of simple material without any complicated decorations. She was wearing a pair of cloth shoes, which was simple and elegant.

Chu Wujiang saw that her hands were clenched tightly together, her fingertips were slightly pale, and there was an indelible sadness on her face.

The two should be in love.

In the struggle between noble families, servants were not allowed to marry casually, because this was related to the tendency of the struggle for interests between the two families.

For example, the imperial examination would check the family background. Those who had married into a low-class family within three generations would not be allowed to take the examination.

There was once a scholar who went on stage to sing, but was considered a lowly person. He was eventually impeached by the censor, his title was revoked, and his head was chopped off.

The same is true for the servants of the nobility, whose marriages sometimes have even stricter requirements.

But Chu Wujiang didn’t think that such love could support the remaining decades of his life. Perhaps it was just a momentary impulse.

"Young Marquis, Miss Si Li is still very young."

"For the marriage and alliance between the two families, we can find another way to let the servants of both sides meet and get to know each other."

Chu Wujiang was about to propose a new solution, but Miss Si Li spoke first:
"Lord Longcheng, it's okay."

"I volunteered."

voluntary?
How can this be.

Lu Ce immediately added:

"Lord Longcheng, it was indeed Si Li who took the initiative to bring it up."

"because……"

Lu Ce looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Chu Wujiang knock on the table uncontrollably and said unhappily:
"Young Lord, please speak frankly."

Before Lu Ce could think it over, Miss Si Li stroked her belly and said:
"I am pregnant with a promising child."

"So I want to marry Youwei."

This?
The expression on Chu Wujiang's face softened a little.

He suddenly remembered his past life. One of his comrades-in-arms had died and his fiancée was pregnant with a posthumous child.

At that time, everyone in the team promised that they were willing to bear all expenses and provide compensation as long as the child was born. However, his fiancée ended up having an abortion.

Now that there is such an opportunity, Chu Wujiang immediately said:

"Miss Si, if you are willing to give birth to the child, the Chu family will naturally bear all the expenses and compensation."

"Even if you regret it in the future and want to remarry, it's fine."

Si Li was only about seventeen years old, and perhaps he was acting on impulse.

Chu Wujiang didn't want the woman to go back on her word in the future, causing a big uproar and embarrassing both the Chu and Lin families, so it was better to say it out loud.

In his past and present lives, he has seen too many cases of people making promises but not fulfilling them, which resulted in unhappiness on both sides.

The Chu family only wants you to fulfill half of your promise and does not require you to be a widow for Lin Youwei for the rest of your life.

If you agree, we will schedule the wedding.

When Lu Ce heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Lord Longcheng is truly an open-minded person."

"The Lu family will also help out a bit."

He was also opposed to Si Li marrying into the Lin family at the beginning. After all, it was just a matter of changing the person for marriage.

The Chu family and the Lu family have plenty of servants and do not need such sacrifices.

Lu Ce still takes good care of his subordinates and is not a tyrannical leader.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang said it in advance to avoid embarrassment for both parties if the agreement could not be implemented in the future.

Si Li smiled sadly and nodded:

"Thank you, Lord Longcheng, for your understanding. I am willing to do so."

"Yesterday, I went to the Great Compassion Temple to pray for my child. If he grows up, I am willing to accompany him."

You are still young, you don't have to do this.

Chu Wujiang fell silent and did not try to persuade him.

Everyone has their own ideas.

If she is willing, the Chu family will give her corresponding treatment and treat her as a widow.

Lu Ce also added:
"Si Li, the Lu family is always your mother's family."

“If you change your mind, don’t be afraid to speak up.”

Lu Ce was also worried that he might change his mind in the future, which would make him lose face and lead to him doing something shameful, thus destroying the relationship between the two families.

Si Li smiled lightly and stroked the hairpin on her head. This hairpin was a gift from Lin Youwei. Then she nodded and said:

"I understand." "I beg Lord Longcheng to let me see Youwei."

She made no further excuses.

Chu Wujiang nodded, called the maid, and asked her to accompany Miss Si Li to visit Lin Youwei's body.

Coach Lin is guarding over there. If he knew the news, maybe he would feel better.

With children, there is hope.

Coach Lin had more than one son, but Lin Youwei was the most outstanding one. Unexpectedly, he became a victim of struggle just as his life began.

By the way, Miss Si Li has a child. Is this considered Yin or Yang in the theory of Yin and Yang?

Chu Wujiang suddenly had an idea and felt a desire to explore.

Living people are yang, ghosts are yin, so does an unborn baby belong to the extreme yang or the yin?

He has the ability to see ghosts and spirits, but has never observed the child's appearance.

In some folk tales, children are prone to amnesia, losing their three souls and seven spirits, but boy's urine is a very yang thing that can restrain ghosts.

Thinking of this, Chu Wujiang opened his Yin-Yang eyes, and when Miss Si Li stood up, he quietly looked at the child's breath.

boom!
The brain felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

It was as if I saw some strange creature that could not be looked at directly.

【Lord Longcheng! 】

【ah! 】

The red-clothed female ghost immediately used her soul power, and the secret technique that was originally intended to overturn the sea of ​​consciousness instantly turned into a secret method to stabilize the ship.

puff!
The red-clothed female ghost suffered severe injuries and could not help spitting blood, her expression became listless.

Chu Wujiang relied on the protection of the red-clothed female ghost to withstand the cost of the prying monster.

Otherwise, just looking at it will cause backlash.

【What is this? 】

【Chunlu, are you okay? 】

Chu Wujiang's face suddenly changed, but considering that Lu Ce was still present, he quickly controlled his expression, feeling confused and puzzled.

He originally just wanted to see if there was any problem with the baby in Si Li's belly.

As a result, he almost glimpsed an extremely powerful demon.

Could it be that what's in Si Li's belly is not Lin Youwei's child, but some kind of ghost fetus?

The red-clothed ghost finally came back to her senses. She quickly explained:
[Lord Longcheng, I am fine. ]

[Don't observe the ghost fetus anymore, it should be the seed of a ghost king. ]

Ghosts are divided into nine categories. After the death of the former Emperor Wu, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect revered him as the Ghost Emperor, believing that the Emperor Wu's ghost would return like lightning, command hundreds of millions of ghosts, and destroy the world.

The one level lower than the Ghost Emperor is the Ghost King.

Even a seed of the Ghost King is not something that Chu Wujiang can contend with now.

[Okay, I will replenish your soul power immediately.]

The vital energy in Chu Wujiang's body was transformed into soul again, which quickly made up for the loss of soul power of the red-clothed female ghost.

At the same time, Chu Wujiang's brain began to work rapidly.

Is Si Li a member of the Wan Gui Sect?
Not quite!
Considering his past and present lives, he is quite knowledgeable and Si Li's feelings for Lin Youwei are sincere.

Otherwise, she would not have promised to remain a widow for Lin Youwei and accompany him in seclusion.

That is, someone had planted a ghost fetus in her without anyone knowing.

This is the ultimate trump card of the Wangui Sect against the Chu family!

It turns out that someone has set their sights on the Chu family's plan, which is the marriage between Lin Youwei and Si Li.

Regardless of whether they succeed or not, a terrible seed will be lurking in the Chu family.

Once the need arises, it will burst out.

Take your dog's life.

Great!

Chu Wujiang almost clenched his fists. If he hadn't exchanged for the Yin-Yang Eyes, he would have been killed without anyone noticing.

After the Wan Gui Sect suffered successive defeats against the Kind Mother Ghost and the Red-Clothed Female Ghost, they finally got their toughest dish.

"Lord Longcheng?"

Seeing Chu Wujiang suddenly silent, Lu Ce couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chu Wujiang's complexion returned to normal, and he said with a smile:
"It's okay, let's talk about the gift and dowry for the marriage between the two families."
