Chapter 2: The Wedding Night (2)

None of them!

as ugly as a night demon

A sound was heard, and with a thud, the bronze mask worn by Wu Xiuxiu was carelessly snatched off the ground by Guo Ye's right hand.

In a flash, Guo Ye had already rushed to Wu Xiuxiu's side with lightning speed.

The scissors fell to the ground in a natural manner

After finishing the recitation, she shook her head and sighed lightly, turning slowly and melancholically towards the bedroom. Upon reaching the door, she sighed with a hint of regret: "Alas, what a pity..."

The phrase "沉鱼落雁" refers to extraordinary beauty, often used to describe a woman whose beauty is so captivating that it could cause fish to sink and wild geese to fall from the sky.

Seeing the sly and narrow smile on Guo Ye's face, in Wu Xiuxiu's eyes, it appeared increasingly lewd and despicable

What exactly is the agreement

The young man must turn the situation around and regain some face; even if he has to leave the bedroom, he should do so gracefully and cannot leave in such a humiliating manner

Guo Ye felt as if he had been unexpectedly slapped on the back of the head, and all the details suddenly became clear.

Upon seeing Guo Ye in the bedroom again, the previously desolate figure transformed. He turned to Wu Xiuxiu in the room, waving his fists in the air as if filled with boundless fighting spirit, and excitedly spoke to himself: "Wu Xiuxiu, the days ahead are long, I refuse to believe that the blazing red lips can’t break through this eternal iceberg..."

After Guo Ye struck down Wu Xiuxiu's bronze mask, his right hand unexpectedly rested on her fragrant shoulder, with his five fingers precisely gripping the collarbone of Wu Xiuxiu. Due to the round-neck, low-cut design of the wedding attire in the Tang Dynasty, the skin at the collarbone was completely exposed.

However, it turned out to be a disappointment

Guo Yedun was instantly filled with regret, his emotions tangled in a myriad of feelings. He silently scolded himself for his lack of clarity, wondering what kind of relationship he had gotten himself into. Had he known it would come to this, he should have held on a little longer at that time, refusing to leave the room no matter what.

Grass, rest husband

Yes, it is this kind of feeling, cold and aloof. Compared to Wu Xiuxiu at this moment, the likes of Diao Chan and Xi Shi are nothing remarkable.

Guo Ye immediately lowered his head to conceal his face and the unnatural expression revealed in the book, making sure that the other party would not perceive him as a mere substitute.

Now that the Wu family has a son-in-law, the village head Liu Laolai will certainly no longer have designs on the Wu family. However, the newcomer Guo Ye has inexplicably made a powerful enemy, a local gentry bully, without any reason. Where can he go to seek justice for this situation

Wait a moment

Guo Ye was momentarily at a loss for words, feeling a pent-up frustration akin to the surging Huangpu River, unstoppable and overwhelming. With red-rimmed eyes, he stared at the ugly bronze mask and gritted his teeth, saying: "Wu Xiuxiu, you have gone too far! I will deal with you tonight, and I will not rest until you are thoroughly subdued beneath me. Even if it offends the Liu family, I will consider it worth it."

Hehe

Damn it, Guo Yexin thought, having taken half of the small advantage, while the big advantage is within reach, truly unwilling to accept this.

Li Zheng Liu Laolai? The ancient Li Zheng was indeed a figure akin to the village head or township chief in later generations, wasn't he? In ancient times, this could also be considered a significant figure in the local community.

Guo Ye slowly lowered his head to look at his lower abdomen, sighing, "Oh dear, they say that lust is a knife above the character, and the ancients truly did not deceive Guo Ye!"

Suddenly, a poem involuntarily surfaced in Guo Ye's mind

In an instant, Guo Ye's three souls were frightened away, and he exclaimed in anger: "No wonder that persistent and shameless person dragged me here to get married; you are nothing but a monster, a monster!"

Wow, with such a small trick, Xiao Xiao actually revealed a truth that cuts straight to the heart of the matter

Guo Ye's spirit soars like a rainbow, a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey

The so-called agreement is merely a sham marriage, where there is only the name of a couple but not the substance of a couple.

Suddenly standing up after speaking, he brandished his claws and made a move as if to pounce forward

The round-neck low-cut design, bulging and full, Guo Yeshun's hand gestures slide down along the collarbone, slowly, slowly...

scoff

After much contemplation, Guo Ye's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. Unintentionally, he glanced sideways through the window and caught sight of the crescent moon in the night sky.

Guo Ye's right hand came to an abrupt halt, not daring to move even a fraction further down, and was instantly withdrawn.

The sound flows gently like a clear spring in the mountains, and like the faint fragrance of orchids in a secluded valley. Upon hearing it, Guo Ye felt a wave of tingling pleasure throughout his body, as sweet as honey.

Guo Ye could not find a suitable adjective to describe her at that moment

A celestial voice emerged from beneath the bronze mask, followed by a soft sigh from the other party, who slowly said: "Guo Ye, have you perhaps forgotten our previous agreement?"

Numbness, what a ruthless Wu family, I was confused and caught in your trap, this has forced me to bear the brunt of the blame once again

In the northern lands, there is a beauty, unparalleled and independent. A single glance can topple a city, and a second glance can overturn a nation

It is tangled and chaotic.

Wu Xiuxiu could not have imagined that the usually submissive Guo Ye would suddenly take a stand at this moment. This was not the same respectful demeanor they had during their initial agreement for a fake marriage. In a flurry of panic, she immediately got up from the bedside and moved away, darting towards the round table with two candlesticks.

This is utterly disgraceful, and it further fuels Wu Xiuxiu's arrogance, which is certainly not a good phenomenon

If Wu Xiuxiu, this little girl, gets serious and gives the young man a hard time, then the unluckiest time traveler in history must be Guo Ye.

However, upon recalling Guo Ye's outrageous and lewd behavior just now, Wu Xiuxiu could not help but frown and scoff, "The poem is a good poem, but what a pity about this person..."

At that time, hum hum

A cold laugh erupted suddenly from beneath the bronze mask

The Wu family originally devised a scheme to seize the Wu family's assets out of fear that the son of the village head would forcibly marry Wu Xiuxiu, thus employing the tactic of a false marriage with a son-in-law to thwart the Liu family's covetous intentions.

Struggling to retain my thoughts, I vaguely remember that the other party's surname is Wu and her given name is Xiuxiu. She is the daughter of Wu Maocai, a wealthy landlord from Dongliu Township. As for her appearance and personality, I truly have no impression at all

Hiss, what a beautiful sound

What agreement

Guo Ye's body suddenly stiffened, leaving him without the strength to even stand up, for he finally grasped the meaning behind Wu Xiuxiu's words.

It is not that Guo Yezheng is a gentleman who would not take advantage of others' misfortunes, but at this moment, he clearly feels a sharp weapon pressed against his lower abdomen

Beneath the bronze mask lies an unparalleled beauty.

Guo Ye asked casually, "What is it called?"

What is even more remarkable is the exceptionally comfortable texture that emanates from Wu Xiuxiu's fair skin, which feels almost as delicate as a blown bubble when touched

I rely on!

Guo Ye was taken aback; could it be that this foolish young man, whose soul had been possessed, had made an agreement with the young lady of the Wu family?

Wu Xiuxiu coldly said: "Nonsense, if it were not for the village head Liu Laolai coveting my family's property, and his son Liu Amang persistently bothering me, do you think my Wu family would accept a tenant farmer's son as a son-in-law? Would I, Wu Xiuxiu, pretend to be in a sham marriage with you? Ridiculous!"

Under such a vicious curse from Guo Ye, one cannot see the expression of the Wu family's young lady beneath her bronze mask, however...

How is it that I have no impression of Miss Wu in my memory? Could it be that this foolish young man agreed to marry into the Wu family without even having seen her face?

Leaving Wu Xiuxiu with a solitary figure, gradually elongated under the reflection of the moonlight

Having said that, Guo Ye felt anxious and pondered to himself, yes, it is indeed the husband as the head of the wife, it should be correct, right

The matter of fake marriages for emotional reasons has existed since the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ye couldn't help but click his tongue in thought, truly gaining new insights

as beautiful as a celestial being

Bang!

Today, I will show you a couple of my skills; otherwise, I would not be worthy of being called a time traveler

Guo Ye casually lifted his leg to brush off the dust from his scholar's robe, shook the cuffs, placed his hands behind his back, glanced out the window, and then looked at Wu Xiuxiu, who was still on high alert against him. He slowly shook his head and pretentiously recited: "I originally intended to offer my heart to the bright moon, but alas, the bright moon shines upon the... ditch... channel..."

However, given Wu Xiuxiu's demeanor, it is clear that today there will be no room for further encroachment

Listening to Wu Xiuxiu's scolding, Guo Ye originally wanted to tilt his head back and shout a curse, to exclaim that it was nonsense, and to declare loudly that he had you under control.

The ethereal voice descended like an immortal from the heavens, instantly dispelling the momentary terror brought to Guo Ye by the menacing mask, and his mind became clear at once

Suddenly, Guo Ye feigned calmness and smiled, mocking, "Agreement? What agreement? You and I have already worshipped heaven and earth, met the parents, and become husband and wife. Do you not know the ancient teaching that a husband is the head of the wife? Wearing a strange mask in front of your husband, what kind of propriety is that?"

The large scissors pressed against the lower abdomen, and just one more inch forward would surely result in a perforated intestine. Guo Ye, constrained by others, could only spread his hands to indicate that he dared not act rashly, while continuously reminding, "Wu Xiuxiu, do not act impulsively; impulse is the devil. I will not move, I will not move."

The candlelight flickers brightly

Wu Xiuxiu raised her cheek slightly, adorned with a bronze mask, and mocked, "It is too late. Today, the heavens and earth have been worshipped, the grand hall has been witnessed, and the guests from the ten miles and eight villages of Dongliu have already observed the ceremony. You are the son-in-law by marriage; what right do you have to annul the engagement? If we are to speak of annulling the engagement, only the Wu family has the right to do so. However, if the Wu family were to do this, it would no longer be called annulling the engagement."

However, there is still plenty of time ahead; I refuse to believe that with my skills, I cannot break through this iceberg of yours

Guo Ye is stunned

In an instant, the sound shifted from the valley's spring to the expanse of a thousand miles of ice, causing Guo Ye to involuntarily tense his body

Alas, alas, alas... I truly feel wronged

The national beauty and heavenly fragrance

The hands holding the scissors unmistakably belonged to Wu Xiuxiu, who was sitting opposite.

Agreement

Refreshing, truly refreshing

Got it!

As Miss Wu lifted her veil, the first thing that caught Guo Ye's eye was a grotesque bronze mask, with a greenish face and protruding fangs. Under the flickering candlelight, it was truly terrifying

Guo Ye, who has always been a staunch male chauvinist, has never endured such mockery and humiliation; damn it, this is like putting mousse on a monk's head—it's pure bullying

At this moment, Wu Xiuxiu had long lost the earlier expression of cold aloofness, replaced instead by a face full of fierce hostility. With a glint of malice in her eyes, Wu Xiuxiu coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"

Wu Xiuxiu gritted her teeth once more, slightly pushing the scissors forward and coldly shouted: "Get out, from now on you will sleep in the study. Without my permission, you are absolutely forbidden to step into the bedroom. Guo Ye, we only have the title of husband and wife; do not delude yourself into thinking there is any reality to it. Do you understand clearly?"

But are you leaving with your tail between your legs like this

Listening to Guo Ye's poignant verses and watching his departing silhouette, Wu Xiuxiu relaxed her hands...

Guo Ye indulgently caressed Wu Xiuxiu's collarbone, with the beauty before him igniting his senses; all thoughts of the local official Liu's family and the rural gentry's bullies were completely cast aside.

Hiss ... ...

However, the sharp scissors that pierce through the cloth of the scholar's robe are certainly not to be taken lightly

However, as the saying goes, "What is lost in the east is gained in the west," Guo Ye's leap was not without its rewards

Hi, the time for soul possession is too rushed, making it impossible to inherit all of the other person's memories, a typical aftereffect of time travel

In a fit of regret, Guo Ye suddenly raised his head and glared at Wu Xiuxiu, gritting his teeth as he said, "Wu Xiuxiu, your Wu family is nothing but a bunch of rogues. I, I, want to... annul... the marriage!"

A woman loves money, a girl loves beauty, and a wealthy heiress loves a talented scholar

A beauty like jade

Wu Xiuxiu, behind the bronze mask, blinked her lively eyes beneath the mask and said word by word: "Rest... husband..."

Sigh

For the time being, Guo Ye has no choice but to exhaust all means to extract the answer from the other party's mouth; otherwise, the situation will become serious

Upon gaining clarity, I could not help but curse once again in my heart

However, the knife pressing against his lower abdomen was a gleaming pair of large scissors
