Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 609 The Young Master's Corpse Bride of the Republic of China 05

After the eldest lady finished giving her instructions, she said to Mr. Jiang:

"Master, let's go to my room and discuss Shangwu's funeral arrangements. How about leaving this new house to Shangwen and the eldest young lady?"

Master Jiang nodded.

The Song family was a prominent family in Yuncheng, a marriage the Jiang family had finally secured. He was worried that Shang Bin's escape would offend the Song family. Now that Song Nianru not only didn't blame him but was willing to marry his sickly eldest son, he was naturally delighted.

As for the fact that a bastard son was inexplicably involved in this marriage, he couldn't care less. After all, it was just a bastard son, and he didn't lack sons. Besides, Jiang Shangwu didn't win his heart.

He immediately ordered the servants:

"You guys, please change all the things in the new house. Don't disturb the wedding of the eldest young master and the eldest young mistress."

Then, he knocked on everyone and said:

"From now on, both inside and outside this mansion, keep your mouths shut. Don't say anything you shouldn't, or else don't blame the master for being ruthless."

"Yes, sir, we remember it."

Everyone responded.

Anyway, no matter what these concubines and servants thought in their hearts, they agreed readily.

After a while, everyone in the room had left.

Another servant came in, replaced the cups and wine, sprinkled water to wash the floor, and cleaned the ground thoroughly, probably to get rid of bad luck.

When the incense was lit again in the room, two servants came in supporting a tall man.

The man wasn't wearing wedding attire; he had simply changed into a new outfit with a large red silk ribbon tied across his chest. Through the faint gaps in the red veil, Nan Xi discovered that the man was incredibly thin.

His prominent cheekbones and sallow complexion clearly showed signs of illness. His black hair had grown a bit long, partially obscuring his eyebrows and making his large, dark eyes appear sunken.

When looking at people, there seems to be a faint sadness.

He had a medicinal aroma and looked like a skeleton, a far cry from the legendary handsome man. However, one could vaguely tell that his bone structure was quite good.

The man took a few deep breaths before sitting down at the table and silently waved to the two servants.

The two servants retreated with worried expressions. One of them, who looked somewhat clever, warned Nan Xi:

"Thank you for your help, Madam. We will leave our young master to you tonight..."

Nan Xi nodded.

She will take good care of their eldest young master.

The other seemingly honest servant also looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Unexpectedly, Nan Xi understood what he meant. His expression said:

"Our eldest young master is in poor health. Please be careful and don't let your bestiality get the better of you. You might as well torture him to death."

Nan Xi: "..."

Am I a beast?

The young master's life is also his life. She has no intention of killing another one in this room tonight.

However, she felt a little uneasy when she thought about the scene of the veil being lifted. She guessed that she must be a little frightened in her current appearance.

Otherwise, no one would be scared to death on the spot.

But what can I do? This guy's body looks even more fragile - oh, how careless! Nan Xi thought a little sadly, and her mind began to look at the young masters of the Jiang family.

If it doesn't work, find someone else.

At present, in addition to the eldest son Jiang Shangwen (the one in front of you) born to the first wife, the third son Jiang Shangbin (who ran away from his marriage), and Jiang Shangwu who was frightened to death just now, the Jiang family also has two other sons, Jiang Yingjie born to the third concubine and Jiang Yinghao born to the fourth concubine.

But the fifth young master Jiang Yinghao is still young, only eight years old this year, so forget it.

At this point, if she hadn't chosen the eldest young master, the only choice left would be the fourth young master, Jiang Yingjie. No wonder the third concubine was so sarcastic when she chose someone but didn't.

Nan Xi was calculating, when she saw the man opposite her stand up and close the door himself. Then he turned around and said to her:

"I heard that Miss Nianru scared my second brother to death today."

Nan Xi was stunned when she heard this: This guy is so straightforward in conversation. After all, no one said anything, so why do you assume that I was scared to death?

"My health is not as good as my second brother's." The man continued:

"You and I have no past or present grudges. You chose to marry me. I wonder what your plans are. Do you want to send my second brother and I away together?"

Nan Xi shook her head.

"Then why me?"

The man sneered.

"Everyone in Yuncheng knows that Miss Nianru has a crush on my brother. Don't say anything nonsense like you like me..."

Nan Xi teased him:

"Why not? You used to be so pretty. What if I was just using Jiang Shangbin as an excuse to get close to you?"

"You also said it was in the past."

Jiang Shangwen said:

"Now I look like neither human nor ghost. Even girls from ordinary families would stay away from me, let alone a lady from a noble family like Miss Nianru."

After saying that, he took two steps forward and reached out to pinch Nan Xi's long red veil:

"If Miss Nianru stays in the Jiang family under the guise of the eldest young lady to avenge Third Brother, or to get between him and Miss He in the future, that would be a wrong idea."

"Because I won't agree!"

He spoke word by word, and then roughly tore off Nan Xi's red veil.

Nan Xi raised her head and gave the man in front of her an ugly smile with a sinister look - little bastard, I can't scare you to death!

Let you say harsh words to me.

As expected, the man's pupils suddenly shrank. Through the dressing mirror opposite, Nan Xi also saw her true face.

Nan Xi: "..."

To be honest, she was even scared by this weird look.

The woman in the mirror had exquisite makeup, but her face was a deadly pale white, with a strange red tint on it. Her eyes were painted with black smoky makeup, but tears of blood streamed from the corners of her eyes.

The lips were also a strange red, but there were also traces of black blood at the corners of the mouth, flowing along the lips all the way to the neck...

Coupled with her eyes now wide open, anyone who sees her will scream "Ghost~~"

No wonder the second young master of the Jiang family was scared to death!

What's more, this sickly young master in front of her... Eh? Nan Xi blinked her big, kazilan eyes with difficulty.

This man wasn't frightened to death, didn't even faint, and didn't scream - was there something wrong with this reaction?

Nan Xi was puzzled: "You... aren't afraid?"

"Fear."

Jiang Shangwen answered promptly and clearly.

"Just now, your brother secretly lifted the veil and was scared to death by me." Nan Xi said viciously.

"Oh,"

Jiang Shangwen took off his veil and threw it aside:

"He's not very courageous."

He walked to the table and sat down, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp:

"Don't blame him. He didn't dare to remove your veil without permission. It must have been the Second Madam's idea."

Nan Xi: "..."

Jiang Shangwen seems to be an interesting person - she is the culprit who scared his own brother to death.

He just made it so lightly that she was speechless.
