Chapter 803 The Haunted Dormitory 11
At this moment, an older maid came in from outside the door: "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, the Old Madam wants you to go and pay your respects later."
Ji Yan sat at the table, glanced at Xu Siyao subtly, and after meeting her gaze in the bronze mirror, shook his head at her.
Seeing that the maid was still waiting for her reply, Xu Siyao withdrew her gaze and casually asked, "Where should I pay my respects?"
"Someone will guide you. The old lady is waiting for me to return, so I will take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
"Husband, your maid has quite the airs. Does she not respect me, the young mistress? Or is this your intention? To bully the Lin family because they have no one to rely on?"
After Xu Siyao finished speaking with feigned dissatisfaction and complaints, she gave Ji Yan a wink.
Ji Yan slammed his hand on the table in response, and with a look of anger, he overturned the tea set on the table.
The maid in the room had her head down, not daring to listen to what her masters were saying.
Terrified, they all knelt down with fear on their faces, pleading, "Young Master, please calm down."
Liu Yun, not forgetting his duty, spoke kindly to the young lady: "Young master, please calm down. The young lady was just being unintentional."
Xu Siyao added fuel to the fire: "What do you mean by unintentional words? It's only the first day since I married into this family, and even a maid dares to put on airs with me. I've married a mute who only knows how to vent her anger on his wife."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan looked even angrier, but a smile flashed quickly in his eyes.
The maids all thought the young mistress had gone mad, saying such things.
Liu Yun tugged at Xu Siyao's sleeve: "Miss, please stop talking."
"Humph."
Unable to speak, Ji Yan could only express his dissatisfaction through actions.
He suddenly stood up, looking extremely angry, and strode out of the room, flicking his sleeves.
He looked as if he was furious with his new wife, his face radiating utter incomprehension.
Xu Siyao continued her antics, angrily throwing the hairpins she had put on her head back onto the dressing table.
"Get out of here, all of you! If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll go back to my parents' home and make sure your Meng family is disgraced by rumors of mistreatment of the new bride."
The maids hurried out, and Liu Yun also left without saying anything.
The newlyweds had a fierce argument early in the morning, and neither of them even went to pay their respects.
The news spread quickly, and by the time it reached other people's ears, they heard that the two were getting a divorce.
The whole thing started with the old lady's maid, and the matter of paying respects was eventually dropped.
The issue of greeting on the first day was smoothly resolved by Xu Siyao and Ji Yan's coordinated antics.
Her game rules, however, had nothing to do with greetings.
However, there is one rule that the newlyweds cannot go to the ancestral hall on the first day of their marriage. If she doesn't go out, no one will ask her to go to the ancestral hall.
They asked the maid where she was going to pay her respects to the old lady, but she wouldn't say. Who knows if she was being led to the ancestral hall?
"Miss, it's lunchtime. I've brought your favorite dishes. Please don't upset yourself; have a little bit."
Liu Yun tentatively asked from outside the door, but after waiting for a while without any response, she decided to push the door open to take a look.
Then, the sound of a stool being slammed on the floor came from inside: "If you're not eating, take it all away."
Liu Yun had no choice but to leave with regret.
Xu Siyao was sitting in the room, exchanging snacks and notes with Ji Yan, who had just slipped in through the window.
Ji Yan brought back paper and pen. He first handed his piece of paper with the game rules to Xu Siyao.
Welcome to the world of strange and uncanny rules. You are now Meng Yan, the third young master of the Meng family. Tomorrow is your wedding day with Miss Lin.
Please be sure to follow these rules:
Rule 1: Remember that you are mute now and cannot speak under any circumstances.
Rule Two: If you don't have an older brother, and someone claims to be your older brother comes to you, it's best to ignore him.
Rule 3: You have a good relationship with your eldest sister and you can trust her, but if you see her go to the ancestral hall, you must stay away from her.
Rule Four: On your wedding day, remember to serve your wife a meal. If she eats it, it means you can trust her.
Rule 5: If you accidentally fall asleep, remember to stay awake, or you may never wake up again.
Rule Six: The old lady of the Meng family is fond of Buddhist worship and does not like to manage affairs. If you hear the old lady asking you to pay your respects, do not go.
Rule Seven: On the first day after your wedding, if someone takes you to the ancestral hall, even if it is your newlywed wife, do not go.
Below is what Ji Yan wrote down, what he wanted to say.
[All the rules I've followed have come true, except for the matter of going to the ancestral hall, which I've already been guided on twice.]
Xu Siyao nodded and said in a low voice, "I only have one condition left, which is that I can't go to the ancestral hall."
After seeing his, she also took out her own piece of paper and showed it to him.
The two rules are actually quite similar, and there are even a few that correspond to each other.
Xu Siyao pointed to his rule: "Your fourth rule is that if I don't eat the food you bring, then it might not be me who comes, and I might fail before I even arrive."
However, some players might be too nervous to eat, which could lead to a lack of trust between them.
This game seems to be played in pairs, as it's easier for two people to cooperate.
Otherwise, you'll be isolated and helpless, and you'll have to have another ghost by your side.
Ji Yan nodded and wrote a sentence on the paper.
[Thank goodness you're alright, but we'll definitely have more people looking for us today.]
"Hmm, did your eldest sister switch sides after going to the ancestral hall?"
In this world of strange tales, everyone except them is not human, but something bizarre.
However, even the supernatural have their own rules; they cannot kill or eat people at will. They must break the rules first.
Moreover, some of them were assigned to the human camp, such as Liu Yun and the eldest sister of the Meng family.
However, they are not entirely good people; they can be trusted when things are normal.
However, they will also actively guide them to break the rules, but unlike other supernatural beings with missions, they will not do anything else.
[I think so. After I learned the rules, I kept an eye on her. I noticed that she acted strangely after going to the ancestral hall last night, constantly trying to get me to go too.]
"This ancestral hall sounds quite dangerous, but if we want to get through, do we still have to go inside?"
[If we go in, wouldn't that violate Rule 7?]
"Take another look at the rules. It only says the first day after the wedding, it doesn't say you can't go on the second day."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan picked up the two rules and saw that they were indeed true.
[You're right. If things aren't over by today, we'll go check out the ancestral hall tomorrow.]
"Ah."
It was evening, and the lights outside had just been turned on.
Liu Yun's voice came again: "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, Master has returned. Please come to the main courtyard for a meal."
Compared to her normal voice during the day, her voice sounded much more sinister now, and she also knew that Ji Yan was in the room.
