Chapter 20 Putting up a Show

Qu Yao wore a veil and placed her right hand on the servant girl’s arm.

With the excuse that she could not see the road clearly, she walked very slowly and asked the servant girl beside her about the study room.

The servant girl said that Bai Yihe did have a study room, but he never let anyone in. Even the cleaning was done by him. It seemed that there were some forbidden books in there, and the things recorded on them were all evil, that was why he was afraid that the bad guys would steal them.

Qu Yao was happy. She, as a bad guy, planned to get her husband drunk on the wedding night and then steal the books to escape!

Bai Yihe was a famous doctor in Tongcheng. His sudden marriage caused a sensation in Tongcheng. They sent their blessings one after another. The doorsill of the clinic was trampled, and the mountains of gifts in the courtyard kept collapsing.

The clinic’s servants ran back and forth. They were all very busy.

The last time they were surrounded by so many people in Tongcheng was fifteen years ago. At that time, their faces were all fierce, and they wanted nothing more than to burn her into ashes. This time, everyone carried joy and blessings. There was no blood around, only the smell of wine.

However, she knew clearly that these blessings had nothing to do with her. These people were all here to bless Bai Yihe. She was just basking in the glory. “Madam is here.”

Bai Yihe abandoned the people who were surrounding him and rushed to Qu Yao’s side with his blind staff. Qu Yao quickly supported him.

“As a blind man, why are you in such a hurry?”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but many of the surrounding guests heard her. Everyone had strange looks on their faces.

Bai Yihe was famous for being kind and gentle. Everyone thought that the woman he married would definitely be demure and polite. However, the tone and wording of her words just now were clearly not like that.

Bai Yihe was not angry. Instead, he coaxed qu Yao, “I was wrong. I’ll be more careful in the future.”

People had never seen Bai Yihe like this, so even if it did not cause a commotion, whispers began to appear around them.

A rude woman like Qu Yao did not give her husband any face in front of others. Who knew how she would bully Bai Yihe in the future!

Even though they had never seen Qu Yao before, they did not have a good impression of her because of this sentence. They all felt that she was not worthy of Bai Yihe.

After all, it was their wedding night. Even if they had any emotions, they did not say anything for Bai Xihe’s sake.

Just as Qu Yao and Bai Xihe were about to bow, the sky suddenly exploded with brilliant fireworks. Those fireworks lit up the entire city. Everyone was stunned by the magnificent fireworks, even Qu Yao lifted her veil and clapped her hands excitedly to admire them.

“What beautiful fireworks!” She asked Bai Yihe happily, “Did you ask someone to put them there?”

Before Bai Yihe could explain, a commotion came from the door.

“Move, move, move!”

Qu Yao recognized the familiar voice. It was the Faceless Ghost.

“Where’s my Yao Yao!?” Shadow’s rough voice traveled through the courtyard and clearly fell into Qu Yao’s ears.

F*ck! What was this old thing trying to do?

She squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

Faceless Ghost somehow got a clean piece of human skin and stood beside Shadow like a human, but how about Shadow? He actually turned into a handsome man, standing at the front of the line, and rushed in in a grandiose manner.

“Oh, my baby! I’m late, can I still make it in time to drink?”

Qu Yao walked closer, gritting her teeth as she whispered, “Why are you here?” She glared at him. “Don’t make trouble for me!”

Shadow pretended to be angry, but his tone really sounded like he was marrying off his daughter. “How can a demon ancestor marry without an official document? I’m here to support you.”

Bai Yihe walked over, supported by An Er. “I wonder which distinguished guest has arrived?”

“I’m her…”

“Father!” Qu Yao cut off Shadow’s words. “This is my father!”

Shadow thought in his heart: How dare I be her father? I’ll be beaten to death by Yao Yao when I return to the demon world.

“Such a young father?” An Er’s tone was unfriendly as she muttered softly, “Don’t tell me you’ve hooked up with a wild man from somewhere!”
