Chapter 2427: Like a Fricking Haunted House
The chill in the air dissipated. Li Sanlang had left.
Ning Shu opened her eyes and looked at the fog through a crack in the boarded up window.
Her room seemed to be on an isolated part of a lake.
Frick, it truly was like a fricking haunted house.
Ning Shu went back to bed and thought about how to complete her task.
She had to leave the Li family, but even if she paid ten taels of silver, she wouldn’t be allowed to leave.
She now belonged to the Li family. Even in death, she would still be the Li family’s ghost.
Liu Xiaoya had never signed a slave contract with the Li family. The moment she was delivered to the Li family, she had been packed into a coffin.
This was why it was possible to just sneak out of here. However, Liu Xiaoya had tried to escape many times, but she was caught every time.
Ning Shu decided that she would wait until she got a bit stronger, then get out of here.
She got up, then sat down cross legged to start cultivating. She must leave this place. Afterward, she could slowly figure out the rest.
As to how she would survive when she left the Li family, she certainly couldn’t go back to Liu Xiaoya’s family.
She had already been sold off. Her return would only incur disaster for them. Their act of heartlessly selling their daughter also meant that they had fully severed their ties with her.
They had sold off their daughter for a ghost marriage. Her fate was either death or life as a widow.
Ning Shu counted her skills on her fingers. She knew how to perform exorcisms, but with how scared Liu Xiaoya was of ghosts, if she became an exorcist, she was basically asking for a heart attack.
She could drop dead at any minute.
Maybe she should just become a female doctor. She’d be able to scrape together a living as a midwife.
She had a good plan, but sadly, man proposes, God disposes.
Ning Shu was not permitted to leave the room. When it was time to eat, the food would be delivered and then she would be locked in again.
The window was nailed securely shut and Ning Shu couldn’t get out.
So far, Ning Shu had only met Lady Wang and a few servant girls. She hadn’t even seen Li Sanlang’s father before since Lady Wang was in charge of the matters in the rear court.
Ning Shu was unaware of even the basic situation of the Li family.
However, she wasn’t worried. When she regained her strength, she could just rip off the roof and leave.
She didn’t understand the importance of this marriage. Why would they bury someone alive for the sake of maintaining their so-called female virtue?
What the frick?
Ning Shu sat down and began to eat. Underneath the table, a hand grasped her ankle.
Ning Shu expressionlessly swallowed her food and used her other foot to stomp on Li Sanlang’s hand.
The way he constantly appeared out of nowhere had scared Liu Xiaoya out of her mind.
Honestly speaking, Li Sanlang was like a nutjob. Living with such a person wasn’t easy.
It wasn’t difficult for Ning Shu to understand why Liu Xiaoya wanted to escape the Li family and be free from Li Sanlang.
It would be suffocating to live this way.
Ning Shu tried several times, but she wasn’t able to kick Li Sanlang’s hand.
Her foot felt frozen stiff.
Ning Shu calmly and gracefully said ‘f*ck’, and then began to chant a spell.
Frick, she was still eating.
If it had been Liu Xiaoya in this situation, she would’ve already dropped the tableware in fright and screamed.
Ning Shu drew the talisman in the air and sent it at Li Sanlang’s pale hand.
The sound of Li Sanlang’s rapid breathing was incredibly sinister.
“Liu Xiaoya, don’t test my patience,” his voice came from under the table, but no one was there.
