The useless second daughter of the Hua family

"Are you ready?"

"Ah."

"Do you know what to tell Uncle-in-law after you go in?"

"know."

"Miss, come on!"

"Ok."

Hua Miaomiao walked into Ge Qinglan's tent with trepidation. They rarely argued with each other, and this was the first time Hua Miaomiao took the initiative to bow her head.

"Ge Qinglan?" She called him softly.

Ge Qinglan had been staring at her since she came in. Seeing her walk in cautiously without anyone's help, holding food in her hands, the unhappiness in his heart had long since disappeared.

He said "hmm" in response.

Hua Miaomiao turned to where the voice came from and handed over the food in her hand. "Eat something. You just left like that. I'm afraid you didn't eat enough."

Ge Qinglan didn't take it. Thinking about how Hua Miaomiao had just given up the rabbit leg, he felt a little unhappy again.

"Are you really mad at me?"

"No, I'm not hungry."

Hua Miaomiao sighed. It seemed that if she didn’t talk things out today, she would never be able to get over this matter.

"You know me. I am not a completely kind person. I have my own reasons for keeping the little ghost here, but I cannot tell you for the time being."

Ge Qinglan looked at her and thought. Yes, although Hua Miaomiao was usually approachable, she was not the kind of person who would repay kindness with grievance. In the early years, the servants of the Hua family tried to deduct her food. When they were discovered, Wu gave them a very bad punishment. Hua Miaomiao watched the whole thing without saying a word. Later, all the Hua family members knew that this young lady was not as weak and vulnerable as they thought. If she was really too naive, she would have been bullied to death in the Hua family.

"But your body won't be able to take it." He held her hand, and the slightly cool touch made him worried.

"Don't you have me? You won't let anything happen to me, right?"

"Okay, I promise." Ge Qinglan promised solemnly.

"Just do what you want to do, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Thanks."

“There is no need to thank friends.”

"Well, I, Hua Miaomiao, have you as a friend, so my life in this world is not in vain."

Xiaoyu had been peeping outside the door, and when she heard this, she was almost mad with anger.

A chuckle suddenly came from behind her. She turned around and saw Zhao Xiaowu looking at her with a joking expression, "Is this the progress you mentioned?"

Xiaoyu was furious, "If you have the guts, come here!" She stomped on him with all her strength, then turned and ran away.

At night, the temperature in the forest dropped sharply. Hua Miaomiao was infected by the Yin Qi and slept uneasily.

Faintly, she seemed to hear the sound of stringed instruments, which came from far away and gradually became clearer. It was clearly the drum music for the bride-picking ceremony.

Will there be anyone to pick up the bride at this late hour?

Hua Miaomiao sat up cautiously. She called Xiaoyu a few times, but she didn't know whether she was sleeping too deeply or not at all. The whole tent was silent. She couldn't hear any response except her own breathing and heartbeat.

After a dizzy spell, she seemed to be taken into a narrow sedan, and the sound of stringed instruments in her ears was deafening. She had to cover her ears tightly, and her body rose and fell with the bumps of the sedan.

This scene was very familiar to her. She had just experienced it not long ago. Was she married by a ghost? Are ghosts so unselective? She was a married woman.

A large white hand suddenly grabbed her. Hua Miaomiao was startled. She waved her hands and yelled, "Ah! Don't come over here! I'm very good at catching demons and exorcising ghosts!"

The man seemed amused by her reaction and it took him a long time to respond.

"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm." A gentle male voice said. "Besides, I was here the whole time, you just showed up out of nowhere."

Hua Miaomiao put down her hand doubtfully, but still shrank back again and again.

"How is this going?"

"The Ghost King marries once a month."

"Getting married? You?" Could it be that the Ghost King is a woman?

"My friend was taken away last month, so I replaced the bride and prepared to go to rescue her."

Hua Miaomiao thought, if someone was willing to risk his own life to rescue her, it must be more than just a friendship. But a month had passed, and the girl must have already...

Hua Miaomiao felt a little regretful, but then she thought, she was already in this situation and would probably follow in others' footsteps soon, so she had no right to feel sorry for others.

"According to my observation, the girl is haunted by ghosts. I'm afraid she was summoned by the ghost slaves in the wedding procession as a kind of her own."

So that's how it is. I was careless. I thought that if the discomfort in my body disappeared, I would be fine. But I didn't expect that the evil spirit didn't dissipate.

"My name is Xiuzhu, may I know your name, young lady?"

"Hua Miaomiao."

"Miss Miaomiao, today you and I are trapped in the bridal sedan of the Ghost King. I should have sent you out immediately. Unfortunately, I have something important to do and must follow the team into the ghost realm. I cannot alert the ghost slaves outside for the time being. But rest assured, Miss, I will do my best to protect you."

Hua Miaomiao felt warm at heart after hearing this, "You are too polite, sir. We are strangers, and if you can take care of me, I should be grateful. How could I possibly harbor resentment towards you? It's just that I can't see, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."

The man waved his hand in front of her, and then a look of pity emanated from his eyes.

After the sedan chair arrived at its destination, it was placed in an empty square, and the ghost slaves who came to welcome the bride quickly retreated.

Xiuzhu brought Hua Miaomiao out and was stunned by the scene before them.

A magnificent palace suddenly appeared before their eyes. The carved beams and painted buildings were made of pure gold and inlaid with agate and jade. There were nine floors, and the roof was emerald green jade. Even the steps at their feet were made of good white jade. I have never seen such a lavish and unique building. The nouveau riche atmosphere that hit me made Xiuzhu speechless for a moment.

"what happened to you?"

Xiuzhu pondered for a long time before finally saying, "It's a little bright."

"what?"

"It's okay, let's go in."

As soon as they entered the hall, they heard an extremely arrogant voice saying, "Welcome to my world, my most beautiful bride."

The entire hall was empty, except for an extremely handsome man standing in front of the throne at the end.

At this moment, he had his hands wide open, his head slightly tilted back, his eyes closed, and he looked like he was completely immersed in his own world.

"Is this the Ghost Emperor you were talking about?" Hua Miaomiao asked uncertainly.

"That should be the case. I don't sense any ghosts around that are more powerful than him."

"Why do you feel that you are not very smart?"

"..."

The Ghost Emperor on the other end heard the conversation between the two and slowly turned around to look. A plain-looking, stunted girl and a tall, handsome man wearing a red wedding dress?

"Who are you? Where is my bride?" he roared angrily.
