Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 7 Kill two birds with one stone

Liu felt guilty towards her and answered all her questions without hesitation.

"Private ghost marriages and the buying and selling of corpses have been around since ancient times. It's natural that you, a young lady, don't know about this. This black market has existed for a long time, and there are naturally people protecting it. Even if the government wants to control it, it is powerless. Everything can be sold on the black market. The reason why some people sell corpses is naturally because there are people who want to buy them. There is an old custom in Xiangzhou that if a person who has not yet started a family dies young, he will become a wandering ghost after death and will not be able to reincarnate. Therefore, some people spend a high price to buy corpses for ghost marriages. Young and beautiful female corpses like yours are extremely popular on the black market. I..."

Liu spent three times her own money to buy her, but she never expected that the young lady was faking her death.

Fortunately, he woke up before the burial, otherwise it would have been a sin. Liu was very worried.

Yan Ciwan had listened to the first half and didn't notice what Liu hadn't finished saying.

Although buying and selling corpses is extremely immoral, Liu had her own difficulties, and she was able to survive thanks to Liu's treatment, so she did not intend to blame him.

She just didn't expect that there would be such a gray area as the black market among the people.

Yan Ciwan is the only legitimate daughter of the King of Xizhou and the Queen. She grew up under the protection of her father and was loved and cared for by her parents. At the age of fifteen, when she came of age, she was named Princess Leyou by the saint and was betrothed to the prince.

Two months ago, she left Xizhou under the escort of a wedding procession, preparing to go to Chang'an to marry the prince.

However, she did not expect that three days ago, when she was crossing the Xiangshui River, she encountered a rainstorm. Her half-sister drugged her and made her unconscious, then stabbed her in the heart.

She woke up in pain and screamed for help but no one came. Finally, she was forced to jump into the river to escape.

After that she fell into a coma and lost consciousness.

Now that I think about it, she must have been washed ashore by the river and then picked up by someone.

When the man saw that her left breast was almost pierced, he thought she was beyond saving and took her to the black market as a corpse to sell. Later, she was bought by Liu at a high price.

Yan Ciwan asked, "Is this place far from the Xiangshui River?"

"Not far, only thirty miles."

After saying that, Liu saw what Yan Ciwan was thinking and continued, "If you want to go to Xiangshui River, you have to wait until your injury is healed. Then I will give you some money and hire a carriage for you."

Yan Ciwan immediately realized that the other party had conditions. After all, there is no free lunch in the world.

She looked at the woman in front of her and asked, "You are helping me so much, is there anything I can do for you?"

Liu finally raised her head and said bluntly, "My daughter cannot go home, but Xiao Wang must be given an explanation, so I want you to temporarily replace Chao Lu and help us keep the secret. After Xiao Wang leaves, you will be free again."

Logically speaking, Liu's proposal would be of great benefit to Yan Ciwan.

Yan Ci Wan is now seriously injured and unable to move freely. Her sister will most likely continue to hunt her down. Her situation is very dangerous right now. She should temporarily hide her identity and stay in the palace. This way she can recuperate and avoid being hunted down, killing two birds with one stone.

Yan Ciwan subconsciously wanted to agree, but quickly remembered the scene in his dream just now.

In her dream, she saw with her own eyes that Chaolu became the murderer who poisoned her father and brother, and then was arrested, cursed, and finally committed suicide by taking poison.

Everyone knows that dreams are illusions and should not be taken seriously.

But everything in that dream was too vivid, as if it had really happened, making her feel complicated and unable to concentrate for a while.

Seeing Yan Ciwan remained silent for a long time, Liu said considerately, "You don't have to rush to give an answer. It's getting late now. You should have a good rest. It won't be too late to tell me the answer tomorrow morning."

Yan Ciwan suddenly asked.

"How long is it until Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Liu was stunned, obviously puzzled by her incoherent question.

"There are still ten days left. Why are you suddenly asking this?"
