Chapter 443: Chapter 446 Agreeing to Marriage_1

"Everyone, look closely; if Chao Lian Niang agrees to Chao Lian and Erhu’s marriage, this bowl of water will turn red," the Taoist explained.

Once he finished speaking, the focus of the onlookers shifted to the bowl of water, with most expressing skepticism—how could it possibly turn red?

They had lived for so many years and had never heard of such a thing.

But the water truly began to change, it was now tinged with a hint of pink.

"Look, it’s turning red!" someone suddenly shouted. The water turned red—what else could it be if not the spirit of Chao Lian Niang showing herself?

Da Niu’er quickly said, "The Taoist must be an immortal sage, truly summoning back Chao Lian Niang!"

"It really is Chao Lian Niang coming back; she knows they’ve been unkind to Chao Lian and will surely settle scores with them."

"Lin Jinshun, that heartless man, deserves a lesson!"

...

"What if Chao Lian Niang holds us accountable?" Lin Jinshun’s face turned deathly pale.

His dying wife had clung to his hand, unwilling to close her eyes, worried about leaving her daughter behind.

But how had he taken care of his daughter over the years?

All the dirty and exhausting tasks fell to Chao Lian, and whenever Jiang’s Clan was upset, she took it out on Chao Lian with beatings and scoldings.

He knew all this, yet never stopped it. His former wife and Chao Lian had always been Jiang’s Clan thorn, and any concern he showed would lead to a huge row.

For the sake of peace at home, he had always let Chao Lian suffer.

Jiang’s Clan huffed, "If she wanted to blame us, would she have waited until now? You’re such a coward, what are you afraid of?"

She spoke with a guilty conscience, knowing that offended spirits are the pettiest, and those who cross them meet with no good end—she had heard such stories throughout her lifetime.

Suddenly, Lin Jinshun felt an intense pain and let out a sharp scream before collapsing on Jiang’s Clan.

Jiang’s Clan tried to remain calm, "What’s wrong, head of the household?"

"I’m in pain, so much pain! It’s over, my wife must have come for me!"

As Lin Jinshun rambled on crazily, Jiang’s Clan was both scared and angered, only managing to support the trembling Lin Jinshun.

The color in the bowl continued to deepen, now as red as fresh blood – Chao Lian Niang’s answer couldn’t be clearer.

Erhu immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, Auntie Lin, I promise to take care of Chao Lian for a lifetime."

On the other hand, Lin Jinshun also recovered and quickly knelt down, "Xing Hua, I know I was wrong. I will listen to you; I agree to Chao Lian and Erhu’s marriage, please don’t haunt me."

He didn’t want to die; he wanted to live.

"Master Lin, let’s quickly discuss Chao Lian and Erhu’s marriage. Perhaps if the Taoist and Madam speak with you, Madam might even forgive you," the matchmaker chimed in opportunistically.

She too found the situation bewildering but still remembered her duty.

Considering it a matter involving gods and ghosts, Tie Niu and Doctor Wu dared not to take it lightly and immediately expressed their intention to seek justice for Chao Lian, joined by a number of others with similar thoughts.

In the main hall, a roomful of people were discussing Chao Lian’s marriage.

"Since the head of the household has spoken, I can’t oppose it, but we can’t accept less than eighty tales of silver for the dowry. Our Lin Family has raised a daughter with great hardship—we can’t just let someone else get her on the cheap," Jiang’s Clan said firmly.

Although she was afraid of ghosts, she was more fearful of losing tangible benefits.

"Lin Jinshun, your wife is too ruthless—an eighty-tale dowry is enough to marry ten wives!" someone complained.

For an average family, five liang of silver would be the utmost for both the dowry and wedding feast.

Qiao Duo’er saw Sun Erhu about to speak and pinched the soft flesh of his waist.
