When the woman heard what Xie Chen said, her expression turned ugly for a moment.
"Sir, please don't joke if you don't buy it."
"If you are not a guest, our store will not provide any services."
Xie Chen turned back to the car, leaned into the car, and took out a card with an address from a small box on the front of the car.
"Take it."
Xie Chen threw the card to the woman in the shop.
"The red candle is a joy to wear, and the window paper is a brazier."
"You also have the sedan chair and the gold hairpin ready for me."
"When the time comes, send it all directly to this address, and I'll pay you all at once."
After hearing Xie Chen's heroic instructions, the woman's originally cold expression returned to enthusiasm.
"Okay sir."
"You go back and wait a moment. I will arrange these items for you now."
Xie Chen nodded, turned around and raised his hand to the old steward beside him.
"boarding."
It wasn't until she returned to the passenger seat that Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he came out just to get out of the dangerous old house first.
I just didn't expect that the level of danger outside was no less dangerous than that of the ancient house.
The world of this strange story is a step-by-step chess game, and if you make a wrong move, you will be responsible for your life.
The old steward returned to the car and asked Xie Chen, "Uncle, are we going back now?"
Xie Chen felt dizzy at the thought, but he still nodded helplessly.
According to time, there are still two and a half days before the wedding night.
There probably aren't many hidden mysteries outside.
The focus of the next exploration needs to be all on the ancient house whose exploration degree is no different from zero.
The first thing you need to find out clearly is which bride is she marrying and spending the bridal night with?
The second thing is, what will threaten your life on the night of the wedding?
Only by understanding these things can you have a chance of clearing this dungeon.
But the dream is very full, and the reality is only two and a half days.
"This is a damn workload."
When Xie Chen thought of this, he couldn't help but rub his painful temples.
If you just figure out these things, it wouldn't be too difficult, but what you are most afraid of is actually not knowing how many accidents you can survive in your life.
You have to figure out the triggering conditions of the pocket watch ability early on.
While thinking about these questions, the old steward had already driven the car back to the door of the house.
"Uncle, we are here."
This familiar voice sounded in Xiechen's ears again, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Xie Chen couldn't help but feel excited. When he looked at the ancient house, he felt a little flustered.
I don't know why, but it feels like someone is holding a knife to my throat.
Xie Chen had just opened the car door and got out of the car, preparing to walk to the house.
There was a squeak.
The door to the house opened by itself.
A figure stood in front of the door, slim and plump, looking very attractive.
But Xie Chen's body was trembling a little at this time.
Once you come back, it will be hell level difficulty!
The mother-in-law, who was wearing a white cheongsam, was putting one hand on the door frame and looking at Xie Chen with cold eyes.
The old steward slowly got out of the car and walked over. After seeing his mother-in-law, he bowed respectfully.
"lady."
The mother-in-law pointed at Xie Chen with cold eyes and shouted.
"Uncle Five! Why is he here?"
The old steward's cheeks began to become distorted visibly.
The originally skinny face actually began to regain some fleshiness.
But the old steward's cold face showed a little panic.
"Madam, I let him in because I felt sorry for the young lady. I have raised the young lady since she was a child. She misses him so much. Please help them both."
Listening to the irrelevant conversation between the two of them, Xie Chen felt very strange.
Could it be that the current scene was back when he and his fiancée were passionately in love?
But why does this mother-in-law reject herself so much even during the period of passionate love?
If you exclude yourself from being with your fiancée even during the period of passionate love, then there shouldn't be a wedding later.
wrong! There must be important clues that I missed.
It may even be related to how the wedding will be structured.
"Tell him to get out of here!"
The mother-in-law's heartbreaking screams brought Xie Chen back to reality.
The old steward also came over and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder, comforting him with a helpless expression: "Let's go first, young man, I told you that you shouldn't come."
Xie Chen took a breath to force himself to calm down, and then said loudly to his mother-in-law who was a little over-emotional.
"You're so excited. Do you think I want to see you? What the hell, I don't care about this at all."
"Look at how bad you are."
Xie Chen made a sound of disdain, turned around and ran out of the house immediately after finishing his words.
The mother-in-law, who was leaning against the gate of the house, was stunned on the spot, looking at Xie Chen's back at a loss.
The old steward was also frightened by Xie Chen's words.
When did this kid speak so harshly?
After turning around and leaving the inner courtyard of the ancient house, Xie Chen leaned against the wall, fearing that he would be exposed.
joke.
Saying harsh words to yourself is just a cover-up. Where can you go?
But what is before him now is a huge problem.
Two mothers-in-law and two fiancées, which one is normal?
Previously, I felt that according to the rules, the mother-in-law who would ask me to buy wedding items was probably normal.
But what if the originally normal mother-in-law is the one who objects to her being with her daughter?
Then all this is hard to say.
After he left, his mother-in-law and the steward also returned to the ancient house, and Xie Chen also began to hold his breath and concentrate.
He now needs to confirm one more thing.
As he moved forward little by little, Xie Chen sneaked past the inner courtyard of the house step by step.
Under the cover of the flower bed, Xie Chen crouched and walked quickly, and soon arrived at the side of the ancient house.
Bang.
As a voice sounded, Xie Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pressed his entire body against the wall of the ancient house.
A maidservant walked out of the courtyard with a bag of unknown items.
Xie Chen frowned. He could see everything in the bag. There was not much in the bag.
"It doesn't look like garbage. What's in that bag?"
After thinking for a moment, Xie Chen decided to leave and follow.
You can put the matter at hand aside for now, don't worry yet.
Another familiar process.
The cat crossed the flower bed, staring at the movement in the ancient house, and ran quickly towards the entrance of the courtyard.
Xie Chen turned around and pressed his body against the wall outside the courtyard again.
But the maid from before was almost at the corner at the end of the street.
"Running so fast?"
It probably took less than half a minute from the moment I made my decision to the time I caught up.
What on earth made her so anxious?
"I want to see what's going on today."
Xie Chen ducked and followed quickly.
The maid didn't notice anyone following behind her for the time being, she just walked forward in a hurry, even looking a little dazed.
Xie Chen followed all the way to the corner and then immediately stopped.
The maid stood not far away and dropped the bag in her hand. A hint of scarlet came out of it, making Xie Chen couldn't help but stare at it with his eyes open.
A piece of paper floated out of the bag, and then there was a burst of laughter.
Hee hee hee.
Xie Chen even felt that the body temperature around him had dropped several degrees, and all the cold information was sent to his brain.
The piece of paper began to expand and grow, and then it formed a head on its own.
Xie Chen opened his mouth in shock. Isn't this the paper matchmaker he's seen several times before?
How could it come out of the ancient house?
Could it be that it is the most critical factor of this copy?
Xie Chen shook his head and pinched his cheek hard, fearing that he might be hallucinated by others again.
But this time, severe pain came.
"This...is actually true?"
If there is a paper matchmaker in the ancient house.
Wouldn't it be possible that the mother-in-law is also it?
In addition, the wedding shop and the wedding shop were all related to it, and Xie Chen didn't even dare to think about the details that followed.
How can anyone play with this...
A complete dead end.
Xie Chen continued to stare at the paper matchmaker who appeared, wanting to observe where it would develop next.
I saw the paper matchmaker hanging up the contents of the bag with one hand and then throwing it into the air.
A crimson sheet fell down and immediately covered it completely.
In the next second, the paper matchmaker also disappeared out of thin air.
Along with the scarlet sheets, they disappeared without a trace.
The maid who came out of the ancient house also lay staggeringly on the ground after the paper matchmaker disappeared. Her whole body was limp, as if she had no strength.
Xie Chen still stood there and did not act rashly. After all, he was not sure yet whether the paper matchmaker had completely disappeared.
The scene remained at a stalemate, and Xie Chen also looked embarrassed.
After struggling for a while, Xiechen gritted his teeth and prepared to go out to see how the maid was doing.
But when he just took a step forward, the woman woke up in a daze, and then stood up with a confused look on her face.
He just looked around blankly, as if he had no idea why he was here.
"It's really strange..."
The maid scratched her head and stood up, dusting herself off.
"Is this what she is?"
Seeing her acting like this, Xie Chen's confused feeling didn't seem to be fake.
This made Xie Chen feel flustered.
If this is really the case, then the speculation just now must be completely invalidated.
If the paper matchmaker is not this maid, she definitely cannot be the mother-in-law.
Judging from the various behaviors just now, it is more like manipulating this maid to do something.
Reminiscent of the scene where he was given the invitation earlier, it seemed that the paper matchmaker didn't attack him until he entered the inner courtyard.
This makes it even more reliable that the paper matchmaker actually does not dare to appear in the ancient house.
This made Xie Chen feel relieved, as he no longer had to worry about the people in the house being this ghost.
Then there is still the possibility of passing the level.
But the next question is that this paper matchmaker was brought out of the ancient house by the maid.
What on earth was it doing in the old house?
What happened to the scarlet sheets that disappeared just now?
Just as Xie Chen was complaining about this new puzzle, the maid also came over.
We are about to reach the corner.
Xie Chen was stunned. There was no place to hide on this road.
If she saw this, would she be scolded again for trying to outdo their young lady?
