Chu Yan responded with a smile and walked towards her. Looking at Liu Sanniang’s dovelike eyes, Chu Yan was mesmerized. He almost couldn’t stop himself from pulling her into his arms and kissing her.

At that moment, Liu Sanniang’s smile froze. She had actually forgotten that Chu Yan was a wolf.

The message in the way he looked at her was too obvious. Liu Sanniang quickly looked away.

Indeed, gentleness was just an act he put on at most times.

“Sanniang.”

Chu Yan’s voice was low and hoarse. He did not need to pretend now. She could tell what he was thinking and was no longer as resistant to him. Chu Yan’s eyes darkened as he held Liu Sanniang’s hand.

Unable to pull her hand away, Liu Sanniang gave up and let him hold her.

Fortunately, everyone knew that Chu Yan was already engaged to her.

Even if one did not know them, when they saw the two of them holding hands, they would understand that they were engaged. This was because only a couple who were betrothed would be so intimate.

Red lanterns were hung on both sides of the Wang family’s mansion. The two stone lions in front of the door were also decorated with red flowers, making them look extremely festive. The butler, who was dressed in dark red, received guests at the door. Every person who came in, brought exquisite gifts along.

Granny Zhou was dressed in gray and black clothes with a gloomy expression. She did not bring anything, but Butler Wang said respectfully, “Granny Zhou, you’re here. Hurry, hurry, come in.”

Granny Zhou did not even look at Butler Wang as she walked into the mansion.

Butler Wang did not know that Granny Zhou was no longer the original Granny Zhou.

Zhou Yunyi used to be the one occupying the body but now, her spiritual sense was already gone. Now, it was occupied by the python.

To the python, no one and nothing had anything to do with her. She came here to return Liu Sanniang a favor. If not for Liu Sanniang defeating Zhou Yunyi, she would still be restricted by the seal.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan also reached the mansion. After Granny Zhou entered, she seemed to have sensed that Liu Sanniang was here. She turned around, glanced at Liu Sanniang, and continued walking in.

Liu Sanniang handed over the invitation. “I didn’t bring a gift.”

Butler Wang frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang with disdain. How could she have the cheek to attend the wedding without bringing along a gift? Seriously, didn’t she know who was getting married?

However, Liu Sanniang’s invitation was personally written by Zhu Zongyang. Although Butler Wang looked down on her, he did not chase her away. He said with a fake smile, “Everyone who comes will be welcomed by Old Master Zhu. It doesn’t matter if you brought a gift or not. Please come in.”

Many people present heard what Butler Wang said. They looked at Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang with disdain.

Butler Wang looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. He thought that the two of them would be ashamed because of this, but he was disappointed.

Liu Sanniang’s expression was flat. She did not mind Butler Wang’s mockery, let alone Chu Yan. The two of them walked in with a cold aura.

Butler Wang pursed his lips and felt a little displeased. However, the next guest was already here. He put the smile back on and continued to receive the guest. “Oh, Mr. Huang, please come in.”

Huang He nodded. After handing over the gifts, he asked. “Who are those two?”

If it were anyone else, they would feel embarrassed attending a wedding without bringing gifts. However, the two of them looked like they didn’t care at all.

Butler Wang replied with a look of disdain. “They have been invited by Young Madam’s family. I don’t know who they are but they should be someone insignificant.”

Huang He smiled. “They don’t even know the basic social etiquettes.”

Butler Wang smiled. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Today is a joyous day. Mr. Huang, please come in.”

Huang He nodded with a smile and walked into the mansion.

The Wang family was one of the richest families in Yong County. They had made their fortune through trading jewelry, gold and silver. As expected, the mansion was decorated very lavishly.

Old Master Wang only had one son, Wang Xu, so the wedding was naturally very grand.

Dozens of tables were set up in the courtyard. Many people had already taken their seats. The servants were all dressed in red and were serving tea.

Zhu Zongyang and his wife sat at the main table. Zhu Zongyang had been waiting for Liu Sanniang since early in the morning. Today. he was determined to humiliate Liu Sanniang and turn her into a laughing stock in Yong County.

When he saw Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan, Zhu Zongyang stood up. He waved his hand, shouting. “Miss Liu, come and sit here.”

Liu Sanniang saw that the ominous aura around Zhu Zongyang had disappeared. He was already out of danger but his daughter was still surrounded by it.

The person who wanted Zhu Zongyang and her daughter’s lives was Zhou Yunyi. She wanted to absorb the life force of Zhu Zongyang’s daughter, and her father’s death was only a side effect of that.

Zhou Yunyi’s spiritual sense was already gone, so Zhu Zongyang’s life was saved, but his daughter would surely die.

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Yu, who was beside Zhu Zongyang and saw that there was no sign of her daughter being alive. She looked away and said, “Master Zhu, are you ready for what’s about to unfold?”

Liu Sanniang’s blunt question made the smile on Zhu Zongyang’s face freeze. What an annoying girl!

Zhu Zongyang thought to himself and said with a smile, “Miss Liu, I know you’re capable, but this time, you are wrong. I’m ready, but I wonder if you are ready.”

Without waiting for Liu Sanniang to speak, Zhu Zongyang continued. “Miss Liu, you have to think carefully. Magistrate Wei and the new Magistrate Wei, Li Guanfeng, will also be coming over.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. “It’s good that you’re ready.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Yu with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Madam Yu only had one daughter, so she naturally hoped that her daughter would be safe and happy. The pain of losing her daughter should be the most unbearable for her.

Madam Yu looked at Liu Sanniang. For some reason, her heart tightened and she felt a little uncomfortable. Just as she was about to speak, Liu Sanniang looked away from her.
