Essie looked confused and curious. Zac quietly changed the topic and distracted her thoughts. "Grandpa and grandma will be back next month. We have to start preparing for our wedding."
"Wedding?" She was shocked because she had never thought of holding a wedding ceremony with freezing house. Zac saw Essie was in a daze and slightly nodded her head, "after the wedding, there will be a honeymoon trip around the world."
"You don't have to hold the wedding ceremony so soon, do you?" She said haltingly. She was worried too much. If Mom knew ice house was the heir of Rong family, would she accept him? Would she come to the Dragon City for the wedding? At that time, she must meet the Xu family. Although her name had changed and her appearance had changed, the Xu family could not recognize her, but she could recognize them. She still remembered them. All the sad memories in the past would surely be recalled.
As for icy guy, would he want to marry his evil girl, or punch himself?
All of a sudden, her mind was filled with all kinds of worries.
"It still has three months to go before Valery's baby is born, and we will get married after three months. Besides, it's said that this year is not a good time to get married, so I think we should set the wedding next year. In this way, we will have plenty of time to prepare." Her analysis sounded plausible. In the dark, Zac furrowed his eyebrows. He couldn't know her inner worries and anxieties, so he thought that she was deliberately procrastinating.
"Don't you want to hold a wedding ceremony?" He asked gloomily.
Being keenly aware of his displeasure, she said in a low voice, "of course I want to. The happiest thing in a woman's life is to wear a wedding dress and walk into a church. If you agree to marry me three months later, I'm destined to be entangled with you for a lifetime. I certainly want to have a wonderful wedding with you, but we should choose a lucky day to get married. We should take a good omen and get a happy marriage in the future. There will be full of children and grandchildren. It's not a lucky year this year. We should avoid it. " That was a good excuse.
"You're superstitious." He flicked her forehead.
"This is not superstition, but tradition." Essie shook her head and said, "I bet the elder in the family will share the same idea with me." She said, unconsciously letting out a sigh of relief. What was she worried about? Her mother-in-law was there, and she would definitely try every way to delay and hinder their wedding.
Zac didn't respond. After a moment, he put his hand on her belly and said, "my dear wife, if we hold the wedding ceremony next year, you will look awful in wedding dress when you have a big belly."
Nonsense!
She shook off his hand, "no, I won't. I take medicine every day."
Zac's deep eyes flashed in the darkness, giving out a strange light. During this period of time, he had better be careful. He couldn't ask her for too many times. Otherwise, he would accidentally hurt the baby that might secretly appear in her belly.
When they returned to the hall, Walt had already sent Nita to her home.
Mary was not very satisfied with this girl, mainly because of her background and family. In her heart, she still hoped that her son would marry a daughter from a rich family with a good match. But the first thing he needed to do now was to divert his attention. She didn't want him to play with this foxy woman.
Taking advantage of this opportunity that Zac was in the bathroom, Essie snuck into the room of Ivy.
Ivy was still thinking about Hanson. On seeing Essie coming, her eyes lit up all of a sudden. She pulled her off the woolen blanket to lie down together. They continued to their former topic which was interpreted by Zac.
However, Essie didn't come to talk about Hanson with her, so she said to her, "I will send you a message on wechat to tell you about Hanson for fear that you can't remember all the things I told you. I want to tell you what happened on the way to the garden with Zac just now."
"What happened to you?" In fact, Ivy was more curious now.
"We heard crying in the bamboo forest. It seemed that it came from the forbidden yard." Said Essie in a low voice.
"Oh my God, you heard it too." Hearing this, Ivy shivered and held her arms.
"Your cousin said it was the sound of the wind blowing from the bamboo tip. I don't think he is true." "At first I didn't believe that there would be ghosts in this world. But now I am not sure about that." Essie added, pouting.
"Sister-in-law, please don't talk about it in front of others. It's a taboo word in Rong family. Even if you hear it, you are not allowed to mention it in front of others. Or else, Aunt Mary will punish you severely," Ivy warned her immediately.
"I know, so I only dare to tell you." Clarissa nodded.
"It is right for you to tell me ." Ivy giggled. Being the queen of gossip, she was naturally more curious than ordinary people. She had always been interested in this topic, but there was no communication at home. Even the little boy Goel ignored her. Now she finally found her comrade.
"For all these years, did anyone go in except uncle Li?" Essie asked.
"Yes." "I heard that a new maid was of bad conduct. She thought there was a treasure hidden inside, so she sneaked in. When uncle Li rushed out, he found the maid lying in a coma in the yard. When she woke up, she got mad and yelled, "ghosts! Ghosts! "Then she ran to a street madly and was hit by a car. It was said that she was haunted by a ghost in the yard. Since then, no one dared to even come near the yard. "
"That's horrible." The unexpected news sent a shiver down Essie's spine, and she even got goose bumps all over. "I'm afraid it's not safe to live in this house. What if the ghosts inside couldn't be locked up and she wants to do harm to others?"
"Don't be afraid. Uncle Li said that the land was built on a good place. Except that place, there are God's guards everywhere. No one dares to come near it." Said Ivy, showing no worry.
