Chapter 17
"You, you woman are really too much. If you don't see this mountain, I won't sell it to you even if your family pays ten thousand gold!" Li Yuan angrily grabbed the horse's belly and took his entourage back to the city.

Gu Wenque wanted to stop him, but Li Yuan ran too fast for him to catch up.

Gu Wenque sat back in the carriage and looked at Gu Mengyin, but he hesitated to speak.

Gu Mengyin ate several bags of snacks, pulled the corners of Gu Wenque's robe and wiped them, saying, "Let's go to the mountain and have a look."

"Grandma, Li Yuan said he won't sell it to us. It's useless even if we go to see it and are satisfied."

"Don't worry, they will definitely give it to us."

Gu Wenque didn't dare to say anything anymore, and honestly led Gu Mengyin up the mountain.

When the two came back, it was already dark.

"Fortunately, we caught up, otherwise the city gate would have been closed."

After a day of running in the mountains, Gu Wenque was so hungry that his stomach pounded.

When the two returned to the Gu Mansion, the servants said that Gu Jiancheng and the others were still waiting in the dining room.

Gu Mengyin walked outside the dining room. Gu Jiancheng and others stood up from their chairs one after another. The food on the table was already cold, but no one moved their chopsticks.

"you are back."

Gu Mengyin nodded, strode to the main seat and sat down.

She raised her head and glanced at the people who were still standing and didn't dare to move. She raised her hands and motioned for them to sit down. "Sit down. I don't like to look up at people."

"Eh, yes, yes."

Everyone sat down obediently.

Gu Mengyin picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat."

The young and old of the Gu family immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

After eating and drinking enough, Gu Mengyin happily gargled the hot soup and tea.

"I went to see the top of the mountain today. The location is pretty good. I'll find someone to level the land in two days. If I calculate a lucky day, I can move the tomb there."

"Okay, the nephew will go to the Li family tomorrow to discuss buying the mountain."

Gu Wenque glanced at Gu Jiancheng and wanted to speak but didn't dare. Forget it, let's talk to his grandfather in private later.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mengyin waved her hand and said, "No, they will come to us."

Under the confused gazes of the Gu family, Gu Mengyin yawned and went back to sleep.

Gu Wenque told Gu Jiancheng and the others what happened during the day, "Grandpa, how about I go accompany Li Yuan?"

Gu Jiancheng didn't think Gu Mengyin would talk nonsense, "Didn't your great-aunt say that something would happen to him tonight? Why don't you explain it to him and let him be careful? If he doesn't listen, we will have a clear conscience."

"Well, I'll go find him in a moment and explain it clearly."

"Go, come back early."

"it is good."

"bang"

Just as the banging sound of the first watch came to mind, a dark cloud floated and blocked the moonlight.

There was a rush of footsteps on the deserted street, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Not long after, someone knocked on Gu Mengyin's courtyard door.

"Great aunt, great aunt, something happened. Something happened to Li Yuan."

The door opened, and Gu Mengyin, neatly dressed, walked out.

Gu Wenque was a little surprised to see her awake, "Auntie, grandma is not asleep?"

Gu Mengyin yawned and said, "Squint for a while, let's go and collect the mountains with your great-aunt."

Gu Wenque followed behind in surprise, "Auntie, something really happened to Li Yuan."

At night, he went to several places where Li Yuan hung out most often to look for him, but no one else was there. Finally, he asked whether he was going to Cai Mansion.

Li Yuan's fiancee, Cai Yue, was the daughter of the Cai family. He immediately found the Cai family, but the Cai family's concierge said that Li Yuan hadn't come. Gu Wenque's eyes dodged when he looked at the concierge and he was probably lying to him, so he started from there. The back door of Cai Mansion was opened.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw a scene that shocked him from ear to ear. He didn't dare to act recklessly and hurried back to find Gu Mengyin. "kindness."

As soon as they arrived outside Cai's residence, Gu Mengyin heard a harsh suona sound, which made her a little frantic.

The two of them climbed directly over the wall and entered Cai's mansion.

The Cai family's family background is higher than that of the Li family, and their mansions are wider and larger. But what's strange is that there is no one in such a huge mansion tonight.

"It's strange why there's no one here? It's also quite cold."

Gu Mengyin glanced around the yard and found that there was a thick fog shrouded in the southeast direction.

"This way."

The two came to a courtyard.

Pushing open the ajar door, the two of them immediately saw the dark coffin placed in the middle of the courtyard. There was also a large red silk tied to the coffin, which looked particularly coquettish in the cold moonlight.

In front of the coffin was a wedding platform. Li Yuan, dressed in a red groom's suit, sat on one side of the wedding platform with an expressionless face, and the coffin was on the other side.

A happy woman was muttering something in front of the wedding stage, then filled the wine glass on the table and put it in Li Yuan's hand.

Li Yuan numbly took the wine glass and stood up stiffly, walked to the coffin and drank the wine in one gulp.

"The auspicious time has come and the couple is married."

As soon as Xi Po sang, Li Yuan pushed open the coffin lid and prepared to climb in.

"You have to ask the person involved if you want to have an incestuous relationship, right?"

The yellow talisman in Gu Mengyin's hand flew out and accurately stuck to Li Yuan's forehead.

Li Yuan's whole body froze in place.

"Who are you?" Xipo glared at Gu Mengyin angrily with only one step left to make things happen.

Gu Mengyin raised the corners of her lips coldly, "A bride-stealer."

Under the dim candlelight, Xi Po's face turned ferocious, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. You can't afford the consequences."

Gu Mengyin frowned slightly, her eyes clear, "Don't scare me, I'm scared."

Xipo laughed evilly, "Catch them all."

The guards hiding in the dark ran out to catch Gu Mengyin and the others.

"Grandma, be careful!" Gu Wenque jumped in front of Gu Mengyin and protected her behind him.

Gu Mengyin pulled the waistband of his pants back, "Stand back and stay out of the way."

Gu Wenque: "??"

Gu Mengyin slapped the guard on the face, and the guard flew out.

Gu Wenque: "..."

She expressionlessly swatted away the guard who was blocking her way. Her casual attitude seemed easier than swatting a fly to death.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xi Po turned around and ran away.

Gu Mengyin kicked a stone away and hit Xipo's knee.

"Ouch," Xipo cried out in pain, and she fell to the ground and was so painful that she couldn't get up.

Gu Mengyin came to Li Yuan and took off the yellow talisman on his forehead. Li Yuan still stood there with a dull expression.

She raised her hand and patted his Tianling Cap, causing Li Yuan to wake up with a jolt.

"What, what is going on?" Li Yuan looked at Gu Mengyin with a surprised look on his face.

Gu Mengyin said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that you were almost seduced by your ghost bride just now."

Li Yuan looked at the groom's clothes on his body and then at the coffin beside him and was shocked.

He clearly remembered that a servant of the Cai Mansion told him that his future father-in-law had something to do with him, so he came, but he didn't remember what happened after that.

"Here, when did someone in the Cai family die?" Li Yuan was not timid and opened the lid of the coffin. When he saw the person in the coffin clearly, his eyes widened in shock.
