Chapter 9 - 6: The Ghost Holds a Wedding, The Crown Prince Climbs Onto the Marriage Sedan
One of the people carrying the sedan hadn't been careful enough and stepped right onto an arm. Thus, they took the lead and started screaming first. In response, the crowd responsible for delivering the wife immediately exploded. A passer-by from who knows where fished out a shining white broadsword before yelling, "What's wrong?! Did it come?!" What happened next was basically the streets becoming a complete mess. When Xie Lian once again refocused his gaze onto what had fallen out of the sedan, he suddenly realized that the separated head wasn't from an actual living person. In fact, it was the head of a wooden doll.
Fu Yao once again remarked, "Too ugly!"
Coincidentally at this moment, the tea sommelier approached them with a copper teapot. Xie Lian remembered the tea sommelier's expression from yesterday and asked, "Mister, yesterday I saw these people making a fuss on the streets, and today they're here again. What are they doing?"
The tea sommelier replied, "They're trying to die."
"Ha ha ha..."
Xie Lian wasn't surprised at his answer and thus asked another question. "Are they trying to trick the ghost bridegroom to come out?"
The tea sommelier responded, "What else do you think they're trying to do? A missing bride's father offered an extremely large monetary reward for anyone who manages to catch that ghost bridegroom and help find his daughter. This is why this crowd of people would create this disturbance and foul atmosphere all day long."
The father who had offered that reward was probably that official they had previously discussed. Xie Lian took another look at that roughly made woman's head lying on the ground and immediately understood that these people had wanted to disguise the doll as a new bride.
Then, he heard Fu Yao speak in a repulsed manner, "If I was the ghost bridegroom and someone gifted me an ugly thing like this, I would just wipe out this town."
