“Is this… a birth time and date?” Xia Xin, being from the Xuanmen, scrutinized it for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes in shock, “Could this, this be a marriage document?”

“Marriage document?” Wang Yao didn’t understand what that meant.

Wang Xinjun was also completely baffled.

Xia Xin cleared his throat and explained, “Well, I’m not sure if it’s called a marriage document, but it’s like in ancient times, before a man and a woman got married, they would exchange Gengchen Stickers. Once the Gengchen Stickers are exchanged, the marriage is basically set. All that’s left is for someone to officiate the marriage, and if there are no issues, it’s good to go.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Wang Yao’s heart quivered, “You’re not saying that my mom secretly gave my Gengchen Sticker to someone, and arranged for us to be married, are you?”

“This…” Xia Xin scratched his head; he didn’t know.

Jiangli spoke opportunely, helping him out, “That’s one way to put it, but the other party who has this Gengchen Sticker is certainly not a normal person.”

Everyone: “…”

The three of them suddenly looked pale.

Hearing Jiangli bite down hard on the word ‘person’, all three of them tensed up inside.

Not, not a person?

Then, what is that thing?!

“It seems you’ve also realized it,” Jiangli said, sweeping his gaze over them, “The other party is indeed not a person—it should be a female ghost. She might have been lonely in life, or possibly empty in death, so she wants to find someone to accompany her. Where did your mother get this marriage document? Normally, a mother wouldn’t get such a thing for her son, so she might have been deceived.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao turned pale, “I… I don’t know! I… All I heard was that my mom bought it from under some Sky Bridge. There was someone selling talismans there, all sorts of Talismans, and they also said that if you’re fated, they’ll give it for free. My mom just went to have a look, and the person said that my mom was a person with such fate, then gave her a Talisman, claiming it could bring me romance.”

Wang Yao was also nearly thirty years old this year.

Without even a girlfriend.

As parents, they naturally worried about their child’s future.

Wang Yao’s marriage was already a major concern for his mother.

When Wang Yao’s mom heard what that person said, she was tempted. Then, hearing that it was free—thinking that there’s no harm in trying—she happily accepted it and brought it home to Wang Yao.

She even told Wang Yao that the Talisman Paper was definitely effective and asked him to carry it with him.

It was just a piece of paper; it took up hardly any space, so Wang Yao carelessly shoved it into his pocket.

“Under a Sky Bridge? Then your mother definitely got swindled. It’s possible that whoever gave it to her knew what the Gengchen Sticker meant and purposely gave it to your family to shift some disaster onto you or something,” Jiangli said, lifting the Gengchen Sticker in his hand, “Moreover, normally Gengchen Stickers have the birth time and date of both the man and the woman on them, for the purpose of marriage, but this one only has one person’s birth time and date. I guess the birth time and date here aren’t yours, are they?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Xin mentioned it to Wang Yao, explaining what the birth time and date referred to.

When Wang Yao heard this, he shook his head, his face turning even paler, “Indeed… it’s not mine.”

“That’s right, this is the woman’s. Her birth time and date were given to you, and by keeping it, you effectively acknowledged this marriage. You should have a clear idea of who’s been haunting you day and night, right?” Jiangli raised an eyebrow.

Wang Yao’s temples throbbed uncontrollably, “How could this happen…”

“Your mother probably didn’t do this on purpose, and it’s also possible that you weren’t thinking in this direction, which is why things haven’t been going smoothly,” Jiangli remarked indifferently, “If things had gone smoothly, you wouldn’t be standing here right now.”

Wang Yao’s complexion grew even paler.
