Episode 2: Yang Caiwei and Pan Yue visit the ghost market

Pan Yue brought Yang Caiwei to Li’s house. Seeing this, the people from Yinyu Tower raised their knives and wanted to kill Yang Caiwei, but with Pan Yue blocking them, they did not dare to do it. Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei deliberately made things mysterious, saying that the murderer was at the scene, among these people.

Sun Zhen, the lobby master of Yinyu Tower, arrived, and Pan Yue revealed his true purpose. He wanted to investigate the Li family’s massacre. Sun Zhen simply let him go and investigate. Yang Caiwei dissected the bodies again and found that one of the dead had no beef in his stomach. However, Yang Caiwei also confirmed the cause of their death.

The murderer put Xia Zhongcao into the beef, and the Li family members ate it one after another. After entering the stomach, they felt the pain of burning all their internal organs. They could not bear the pain and torture and gradually lost their minds and chose to commit suicide.

The murderer hid a peddler’s drum and a mouse in the beams of the house, and used rumors to fake the murder scene to make it look like a ghost demanding life.

Pan Yue originally suspected that the murderer was an enemy of Yinyu Tower, but the assassin last night had the token of Yinyu Tower on him, and the one who had a conflict of interest with Master Li in Yinyu Tower was Master Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiangzhu refuted emotionally upon hearing this. Yang Caiwei said that her hands were poisoned by the summer bell grass and would turn black when exposed to water, and asked Chen Xiangzhu to try it on the spot.

Chen Xiangzhu put her hands into the water in public, but they did not turn black when exposed to water. Yang Caiwei then asked Chen Xiangzhu where the scratches on her arms came from. It turned out that the saying that they would turn black when exposed to water was a lie. Yang Caiwei had always been looking for people with scratches on their arms.

When she examined the bodies just now, she found that a maid had no beef in her stomach, but there was blood under her fingernails. It seemed that Chen Xiangzhu bribed the maid to do it, but wanted to kill her afterwards.

The maid struggled to death and was strangled to death by Chen Xiangzhu. When Chen Xiangzhu saw that the murder was exposed, she was furious and wanted to attack her on the spot, but was killed by Pan Yue’s men.

When the Li family was holding a funeral, Yang Caiwei was very melancholy and emotional. She had seen many bodies that died in mass graves. They were glorious when they were alive, but miserable when they died.

Yang Caiwei thought that if she knew when she would die, she would find a paradise to bury herself there. Yang Caiwei pointed to a peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain and said that it was a good place. Pan Yue smiled. She still liked peach blossoms as before. Yang Caiwei agreed, and then paused. Pan Yue told her not to pretend anymore.

He had already investigated it clearly. Ten years ago, Yang Caiwei’s father was convicted and exiled on the road. He encountered robbers and robbed his money. Both parents died. Yang Caiwei wandered to Heyang and was adopted by Lao Jiangtou.

After Lao Jiangtou’s madness became more and more serious, Yang Caiwei became a corpse collector to support him until now. Pan Yue found her to make her the real Yang Caiwei. His second condition was to marry Yang Caiwei.

Shangguan Zhi, the daughter of the Shangguan family, likes Pan Yue. She is willing to endure anything for Pan Yue because of her excessive pursuit of slim beauty. Pan Yue has been missing for two days. Shangguan Zhi is anxious and runs to Shangguan Lan for help to find out his whereabouts.

Shangguan Lan received the news that Pan Yue was going to marry Yang Caiwei. Shangguan Zhi was so angry that she tore up the letter and returned to the room angrily. After Yang Caiwei’s parents died, she ran to the Pan family for help, but was stopped outside by the servants.

Pan Yue even asked someone to tell her that she was now the daughter of a criminal and had nothing to do with the Pan family. Yang Caiwei left sadly. It was clearly Pan Yue who was eager to clear everything ten years ago. Why did he bring up the engagement again now?

Yang Caiwei was invited by Pan Yue to a house. He said he wanted to get married here. Yang Caiwei refused again and again and wanted to cancel the engagement. Pan Yue was just an old friend from childhood to her, and there was no affection between them.

But Pan Yue disagreed. Five days later was the wedding date they agreed on that year. Before that, he would definitely let Yang Caiwei nod. Old Jiangtou’s madness was getting worse and worse. Yang Caiwei decided to go to the ghost market to find medicine for him. On the way, she met Pan Yue who lied that he was on the way.

The ghost market banned nobles and officials. Pan Yue deliberately disguised himself before entering. There are many things in the ghost market that cannot be bought outside. Yang Caiwei is very familiar with this place and lives very comfortably. Yang Caiwei stopped in front of a blind stall owner and asked Pan Yue to help her out of softness.

Pan Yue threw some silver. Although the stall owner was blind, he was good at touching bones. He knew that they were all rare beauties. The stall owner drew a picture for the two of them, and lamented that one had a scar on his face and the other had a wound in his heart. They were a match made in heaven, but it was such a pity to see them apart now.

Bai Xiaosheng is Yang Caiwei’s good friend, and he took them to find the snake catcher. The two were in the ghost market, and Shangguan Zhi had already arrived at Pan Yue’s house. Seeing the festive decoration here, she became even more angry.

Yang Caiwei wanted to buy the fairy-spotted snake, and asked for fifty strings of coins. Yang Caiwei couldn’t afford it, and refused Pan Yue’s money. Pan Yue’s identity was exposed, and the people in the ghost market wanted to drive him away, and let the fairy-spotted snake go. Seeing Yang Caiwei anxious, Pan Yue jumped into the water with a knife to look for it.

After a while, there was no movement in the water, and Yang Caiwei’s heart was pulled together, but Pan Yue suddenly emerged from the water with the snake in his hand. Yang Caiwei was moved, but she also drew a line with him again. Pan Yue hurriedly explained that he didn’t know that Yang Caiwei had come to see him, and that was what his father meant.

He had been asking about Yang Caiwei’s news over the years. He thought that fulfilling the marriage contract was to make up for her, but he ignored her thoughts. However, Pan Yue really wants to protect Yang Caiwei, and he will wait for her on the wedding day.

When Pan Yue returned home, he heard the sound of Shangguan Zhi throwing things. She asked Pan Yue if he really wanted to marry that ugly girl?

Then what was she? Shangguan Zhi was even willing to be a concubine. She suffered a lot of pain for a perfect body, but Pan Yue never valued her persistent appearance. To him, Shangguan Zhi was just Shangguan Lan’s sister.

Yang Caiwei put on the wedding dress sent by Pan Yue and clumsily put on the hairpin. At this time, the door was suddenly knocked, and a coffin was placed in front of the door. Shangguan Zhi in the sedan chair tied Yang Caiwei up. She had paid so much for Pan Yue, but in the end he wanted to marry Yang Caiwei, an ugly monster! Yang Caiwei recognized Shangguan Zhi.

She didn’t expect that the fat girl who followed them around in childhood would become like this. Yang Caiwei begged her to let her go, but Shangguan Zhi decided to exchange faces with her and replace her as Mrs. Pan.

Yang Caiwei wanted to commit suicide for love in her place, and even prepared the coffin. Yang Caiwei quietly untied the rope behind her back and took Shangguan Zhi hostage with a knife to get away.

Five days later, Pan Yue’s wedding day came. The auspicious time was almost over, but Pan Yue was still looking forward to it. Yang Caiwei came in her wedding dress and said that she had figured it out.

Appearance and status were not important. She loved Pan Yue. The two of them completed the wedding ceremony together, but Yang Caiwei had a faint scar on her chin.
