C1 Who Are You?

Night fell.

The banquet at the main house had already ended, and the guests had all left. Very soon, the large manor returned to its usual tranquility.

Mo Ke, dressed in a bright red bridal gown, was standing in the brightly lit ancestral hall. Looking at the pictures of her Mu Family ancestors, she actually felt as though she couldn't move a single step.

She pulled the corners of her lips in self-mockery.

She took the incense stick from the side and lit it, inserting it into the incense burner in front of Mu Lianghan's memorial tablet. She put her hands together, reverently bowed three times, then kneeled on the praying mat and slowly closed her eyes. Today was her wedding night with Mu Lianghan, so she should be here with him.

After kneeling for an unknown period of time, her knees had gone numb. Suddenly, she heard a creaking sound. It was the entrance to the ancestral hall being opened. She quickly straightened her back and knelt down obediently.

The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, finally stopping behind her. She hesitated on whether she should turn around, but a gust of cold wind blew through the candles on the altar table, leaving only a few spots of incense flickering in the dark night.

Startled by the sudden darkness, she composed herself and said, "I …" I'll go light the candle... " Although she didn't know who was standing behind her, Mo Ke still felt that she should tell him.

"No need." Mo Ke was frightened by the cold, unfamiliar voice. She turned around, eyes wide as she gradually adjusted to the darkness of the room. A tall, tall, and upright figure was standing in front of her.

In the darkness, he couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he could clearly see that he was wearing half a silver mask.

Those who hide their heads, hide their tails, they definitely do not come with good intentions.

Mo Ke took a step back and stared at him warily. "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important. What is important is what I am here for." The man's ice-cold voice rang out once more. He suddenly extended his hand and grabbed her arm. Then, with a violent tug, he pulled her into his embrace, firmly locking her in place.

She turned pale with fright. "You, what are you trying to do?"

"Dry..." "You!" The man was pinching her slender waist with one hand while pinching her chin with the other. His cold aura was like a poisonous snake, causing her to tremble in fear.

"You, what did you say?" Her voice was trembling.

"I said, I'm here to fulfill the husband's duties for your dead husband. Are you happy?" His cold fingers caressed her delicate collarbone.

"You bastard, let go of me!" Mo Ke was so embarrassed that she became angry. She bent her knees and viciously stabbed him in his stomach.

"Heh, so it's actually a little wild cat. Interesting." The man sneered and quickly dodged her attack, then leaned over to gag her to prevent her from screaming.

Her breath was filled with the domineering aura of a man.

Mo Ke's entire body shuddered, panicking in her heart. Tears streaming down her face, she struggled crazily. Her cries for help were blocked by him, and all of them turned into "wuwu" sounds.

Mo Ke's entire body trembled. Her mind suddenly went blank, and tears began to flow. The tears rolled down between their lips. The taste was bitter, and he released her mouth in disgust.

"What are you crying for? A woman like you has no right to cry! "

"Help! Help!"

Mo Ke screamed. What she got in return was him treating her even more violently. His cold eyes were full of ridicule. "Shout, and see if anyone will save you!"

Yes, no one had come to save her. Right now, it was the dead of night, so no one knew what evil things had happened in this sealed off ancestral hall.

"Let me go! I beg you, let me go! " She trembled in pain, afraid to anger him, afraid to scream again. She kept begging for mercy, hoping that he would find out.

But very quickly, she realized that she was wrong. This man wasn't human at all. He had no heart! He didn't give her any room to retaliate. A tearing pain rushed into her, and her vision went dark, almost causing her to faint.

Feeling that barrier, he paused for a moment, then sinisterly sneered, "The repair operation was done pretty well, for the sake of marrying into Mu Family, you are really scheming!"

"I did not... I was forced to... Have you misunderstood me? " She could feel his hatred for her, and as she spoke, she groped on the floor, trying to find something to attack the man. Even if she could do nothing to save him, she could not let him.

"So dishonest. It seems that I haven't satisfied you yet!" He was terrifyingly sharp, and his movements were getting fiercer by the second. A golden light shone in her eyes, and she was in unbearable pain. She wanted nothing more than to pass out.

"I beg of you, please don't stay here …" Since there was nowhere to run, she would treat it as if she had been bitten by a dog. However, she did not want to sully the Mu Family Ancestral Hall, getting bullied by this bastard in front of all her ancestors.

"This place is really good. I just like to stay here and let the ancestors of Mu Family know that you are a lowly person who can marry anyone you please!" The man's low and cold voice was devoid of emotion. She was like a small boat swaying in the wind and rain, ready to capsize at any moment.

"You … "Animal!" A painful cry came from her throat. She finally found it difficult to resist his attack, and even more difficult to resist the humiliation. Her vision turned black and she fainted.

The man noticed her strangeness and coldly snorted. He didn't pity her because of this.

Mo Ke woke up at daybreak. Lying on the cold floor, she opened her eyes just in time to see Mu Lianghan's photo hanging on the wall. She jumped in shock and wanted to get up, but the pain in her lower body made her whole body tremble.

She covered her face with her hands and wept silently.

After crying, she quickly wiped her tears away. She did not forget her current situation, she had married into the Mu Family because of redemption, so she did not have the spare time to pity herself, nor did she have the time to think about who that mysterious person was. If someone discovered what happened last night, it would only make the people from the Mu Family hate her even more.
