Chapter 800 The Haunted Dormitory 8
At this moment, she was sitting in front of a dressing table in a wooden attic boudoir.
The twilight was blood-red, the doors and windows of the attic were tightly shut, and only a dim horn lamp was lit, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression.
In the bronze mirror, her distorted figure was reflected. Her face was still the same one she had seen in front of the sink, but her clothes had been changed to ancient costume.
The pink embroidered peach blossom dress that reached her chest was a color she wouldn't normally choose for her clothes. She wore a few simple silver hairpins and a pink and white silk flower in her hair.
On the dressing table, apart from a bronze mirror, there wasn't even a comb; only a rosewood dressing case stood out.
Xu Siyao opened the small drawer of the dressing case and saw that instead of jewelry, there was a piece of paper covered with writing inside.
She took it out and looked at it; it contained her current identity and the rules of the game.
Welcome to the world of strange and uncanny rules. You are now Lin Wanqing, a young woman about to be married. Tomorrow is your wedding day.
Please remember to follow these rules:
Rule 1: Never ask where you are going to marry or who you are marrying.
Rule Two: Remember, you only have one dowry maid named Liuyun.
Rule 3: Your sister-in-law likes to wear red embroidered shoes. If you see her and find that she is not wearing red shoes, it is best to ignore her.
Rule 4: If you hear strange noises outside your window in the middle of the night, please pretend you didn't hear them and ignore them.
Rule Five: Remember this: Your eldest brother will be dressed in black tomorrow and carry you to the bridal sedan chair.
Rule 5: No matter what happens on the wedding day, the sedan chair curtain must never be lifted, and no sound must be made.
Rule Six: On your wedding night, no man other than the groom should be in the bridal chamber. If you see anyone else, do not believe him.
Rule 8: The groom is mute. If he speaks, he might not be your new husband.
Rule Seven: On the first day after your wedding, if someone takes you to the ancestral hall, even if it is your new husband, do not go.
Xu Siyao had just finished reading when she heard a knock on the door.
A petite figure was reflected in the door: "Miss, I've prepared water for you to wash up."
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young girl dressed as a maid, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, came in carrying a basin of water.
"All the toiletries are prepared, Miss. Shall I help you wash up?"
"What's your name? And Liu Yun?" Xu Siyao asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, the maid paused for a moment, then a strange smile suddenly appeared on her lowered lips, and her voice became gloomy and elusive: "This servant is Liu Nian, Miss."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head, her originally delicate face turned bluish, her eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of her mouth split open to her ears.
In a hoarse and unpleasant voice, he said slowly, word by word, "Liu Yun is not feeling well, so she asked me to serve Miss."
The temperature in the room dropped rapidly, carrying a chilly atmosphere.
Xu Siyao sensed an unknown fear spreading through her heart, making her unable to resist or refuse.
This is not a thought she would have, and she wouldn't be scared.
If players are afraid and easily accept this fate, then trouble is likely to occur, and the level will be failed.
She looked at Liu Nian as if she hadn't noticed her change, and said in a flat tone, "This young lady is only used to being served by Liu Yun. Take your things and leave. We don't need you here."
Upon hearing this, Liu Nian instantly reverted to her original demeanor, bowing her head and meekly replying, "Yes, this servant takes her leave."
After the others left, less than a minute later, the knocking sounded again.
This time, the maid knocked twice before pushing the door open and coming in: "Miss, I'm back."
Xu Siyao asked casually, "Liuyun, what were you doing just now?"
"Miss, didn't you say you wanted a glass of milk before you went to sleep? I'll bring it to you. You can wash up after you finish drinking it."
"Well, bring it over."
"Ok."
With the help of her maid, Xu Siyao washed up and lay down.
After the lights in the room were turned off, she closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.
Half-asleep, I heard the sound of wind and rustling outside the window, followed by someone pushing the window open.
"Wanqing, Wanqing."
"Wanqing, I am your husband. Open the window and let me in."
"Wanqing, come and open the window quickly!"
An unfamiliar male voice kept talking and calling out.
"Wan, my foot!" Xu Siyao thought, annoyed by the noise. She simply blocked out her hearing, turned over, and continued sleeping.
As she turned over, a figure entirely in black crawled out from under the bed, with only a pair of red eyes standing out clearly in the darkness.
In the system space, through the faint moonlight outside the window, Xiao Qi saw that dark figure, which was clearly Liu Nian.
With a wide grin that stretched to his ears, he stared intently at the person on the bed.
It seemed that as soon as the person above made any move to wake up, she would immediately pounce on them.
This person clearly went out earlier, how could they be under the bed?
Xiao Qi felt a shiver run down her spine when she saw this, and quickly grabbed a cushion to hug, only then did she feel a little safer.
Looking at the dormitory where the host was sleeping without any sense of unease, it didn't believe that the host was unaware, so it admired her for not feeling uneasy even when being watched while sleeping.
Seeing that Xu Siyao hadn't responded to the calls from outside the window, the noise gradually quieted down, and Liu Nian crawled back under the bed.
The next day, before dawn, Xu Siyao was woken up by Liu Yun to start getting ready.
"Miss, where are you getting married today?" Liu Yun asked suddenly, standing behind her.
Xu Siyao yawned and saw in the bronze mirror that Liu Yun's eyes had suddenly turned pitch black and were staring at her.
"Liu Yun, are you out of your mind? You don't even know where your young lady is going to marry?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun instantly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Please forgive me, Miss. I was just joking with you because you looked so sleepy."
A short while later, noises were heard outside.
A middle-aged woman, accompanied by a young woman and a maid carrying a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, pushed open the door and entered.
"Wanqing, today is your special day. Your mother and sister-in-law have come to help you with your makeup."
"Mother, let's change Wanqing into her wedding dress first."
Xu Siyao glanced at her sister-in-law's shoes, which were purple: "Liuyun, I remember, I asked you to put away the wedding dress. Go and get it."
"Yes, Miss." Liu Yun put down the comb and turned to walk into the inner room.
"You silly child, why aren't you wearing your wedding clothes yet?"
Upon hearing Madam Lin's voice, Xu Siyao looked over again, but there was no sign of her sister-in-law or the maid holding the wedding dress.
Besides her and Liu Yun, who had gone to get the wedding dress, there was clearly only Madam Lin in the room.
