Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Mo'er also waved to Wang Cheng. From her perspective, she completely missed Shen Ziche, so she had no idea that Wang Cheng was hinting at her.

Seeing that Li Mo'er had no reaction at all, Wang Cheng didn't have time to say anything. She ran over, grabbed Li Mo'er, and chased after Shen Ziche in the direction he had left.

"Sister Li, Young Master Shen has woken up. He went that way, probably because he saw... sigh... sigh..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Mo'er saw Shen Ziche's figure, broke free from Wang Cheng's hand, and chased after him.

Shen Ziche clutched the note tightly in his hand, unsure whether to tell A-Cen or not. He knew A-Cen would be unhappy if she found out.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't hear Li Mo'er's footsteps behind him.

Li Mo'er reached out and grabbed Shen Ziche's hand. "Ache, you're awake."

She looked Shen Ziche up and down carefully, trying to make sure he was really better.

Shen Ziche stepped back slightly. He didn't know how to explain this to A-Cen and the others, so he replied politely but distantly, "Yes, it's all done."

Li Mo'er was oblivious to his unusual behavior, still caught up in the excitement of Shen Ziche's awakening.

Li Mo'er took his hand and led him back into the house, ready to tell him about her lofty ambitions.

"Ah Che, today I..."

Shen Ziche simply nodded stiffly, offering no further response. If Li Mo'er were to marry the leader of Tiger Head Mountain, all of this would be perfectly logical.

The note in his hand was completely deformed, and his brain was incapable of thinking.

If Ah Cen were here, what would he do? Would he bless Mo'er?

Actually, he didn't care that Mo'er had another husband. He had agreed to marry them, but the first person he married was not any of them.

Seeing that Shen Ziche was not in a good mood, Li Mo'er assumed that he was hungry and went to find him something to eat.

When she returned, Shen Ziche remained the same as before.

Li Mo'er then realized something was wrong. She sat down next to Shen Ziche, gently took his hand, and found that his hand was icy cold.

"Ah Che, your hands are so cold."

She lifted Shen Ziche's hand and placed it on her cheek, trying to warm it up.

The note fell out, and Shen Ziche frantically tried to pick it up, but Li Mo'er beat him to it.

Li Mo'er touched the paper and felt that the material of the note was not ordinary paper, but rather like animal skin, with some small characters vaguely visible on it.

She didn't open it to look, since she didn't recognize it and it would be pointless to look at it.

She stuffed the note back into Shen Ziche's hand.

Shen Ziche looked at her, "Mo'er, aren't you curious?"

Li Mo'er glanced at the note in his hand and answered honestly.

"I'm curious, but it's okay if A-Che doesn't want to talk about it."

She could see Shen Ziche's nervousness. She trusted Shen Ziche; he would tell her when the time was right.

“A-Cen and I communicate through this little note. If something happens to us, this note will be sent to A-Cen, and he will come to rescue us.”

Li Mo'er was stunned. Could a single note really reach A-Cen?

Shen Ziche noticed Li Mo'er's confusion and summoned Qiuqiu.

The moment she saw the chirping bird, she realized that it was a carrier pigeon.

Chirp flew to Shen Ziche's hand and landed. Li Mo'er wanted to reach out and touch it, but it chirped and flew to Shen Ziche's shoulder.

"It's okay, chirp chirp."

Shen Ziche gently stroked its feathers.

Li Mo'er didn't feel embarrassed at all. She was just curious because the bird didn't look like a pigeon at all, but rather like an ordinary sparrow.

"Chirp, it's a sparrow, and that's why it doesn't attract anyone else's attention."

Li Mo'er nodded, "I see."

"In that case, write a letter to Ah Cen and ask him to come and pick us up."

Shen Ziche looked up at Li Mo'er with a puzzled expression, "Isn't the wedding tomorrow?"

Shen Ziche's eyes gradually changed from doubt to surprise; Mo'er was not attending tomorrow's wedding.

"Then let A-Cen and the others come over tomorrow afternoon. Don't tell Yan-Li and the others."

Li Mo'er was afraid that Su Yanli and the others would worry excessively if they heard that she had been kidnapped.

Shen Ziche lowered his head in disappointment. Qiuqiu seemed to sense its owner's emotions and rubbed its fluffy head against Shen Ziche's cheek.

"Ache, don't misunderstand, I won't marry their leader."

Shen Ziche suddenly raised his head, his eyes bright and shining.

Li Mo'er realized the reason for Shen Ziche's disappointment, so she took his hand and explained to him.

"I need to be at the wedding tomorrow, but I will absolutely not marry him, you can rest assured."

???

Shen Ziche didn't understand, so Li Mo'er repeated the whole story from beginning to end.

She talked until her throat was dry before Shen Ziche finally understood.

Li Mo'er glanced at the note in Shen Ziche's hand, then tore off a piece from her inner garment and handed it to Shen Ziche.

“Write on this; there’s no paper in this room.”

When Shen Ziche saw Li Mo'er's somewhat tattered undergarments, he finally understood what she had been tidying up when he saw her.

Shen Ziche kept it brief: Ah Cen, pick us up from Tiger Head Mountain tomorrow afternoon.

To avoid worrying Shen Zicen, he added a special note: "All is well."

After finishing writing, Shen Ziche, considering A-Cen's personality, decided to send the message out the next morning.

Otherwise, if Ah Cen found out about the wedding, he definitely wouldn't want to cause trouble.

After Shen Ziche finished writing, he put the strip of cloth into his sleeve.

Li Mo'er saw it but didn't say anything; A-Che must have his own plans.

If their carriage hadn't been dismantled, they wouldn't have needed Ah Cen to pick them up.

The villagers thought the jewels on the carriage were real gems, and they all took them off.

At first, Greyhound and Skinny Monkey even dismantled the seats in their search for some silver.

Later he regretted it and tried to fix the carriage, but the more he tried to fix it, the worse it got. Now it can't carry people at all, and it will probably fall apart after a few steps.

next morning

Shen Ziche had already sent the message back through Qiuqiu.

Li Mo'er was also woken up by Wang Cheng, who told her to prepare for her wedding.

She wanted to say that she was just going through the motions and didn't need to make a big fuss, but seeing that the people waiting outside were all from the village, she simply said nothing.

Li Mo'er let Wang Cheng dress her up like a Barbie doll, doing whatever he asked, her eyes already closed.

I didn't sleep well the night before, and then I was dragged out of bed early this morning, so I still couldn't get a good night's sleep.

Outside, there was a great commotion of gongs and drums, but inside, it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Screams and cheers erupted from outside.

Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Li Mo'er saw that she was painted like a cat and was so frightened that she quickly wiped herself clean.

"Sister Wang, Sister Wang, I can do it myself."

She simply applied some blush and that was it; there was no need for anything too elaborate, just enough to avoid embarrassing the head of the household.

Once she has announced the details of the salt factory, she can retire gracefully.

On the highest platform in the village, the chief was dressed neatly in red. Li Mo'er didn't wear red, so she wore an orange-red outfit.

As soon as Li Mo'er stepped onto the stage, the people below started to jeer.

Wang Cheng became the officiant, saying, "In this beautiful scenery..."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo'er exchanged a glance with the leader.

Before Wang Cheng could finish speaking, she interrupted her, "Sister Wang, we'll do it ourselves."

So what followed was, "Today we are officially establishing a partnership with Madam Li's Li's Fine Salt, and our Tiger Head Mountain will become..."

The head of the household spoke passionately, leaving the people below completely bewildered. But when they heard about the future wealth, they forgot all about the wedding.

"To celebrate this occasion, Li Niangzi and I will raise a toast to everyone."

When Xi Gou and Shou Hou saw Li Mo'er and the leader raise their wine glasses on the table, they inwardly cried out in alarm.

This was the wine they had specially prepared for the leader's wedding night. Now the wedding has been canceled, but that wine...
