Quick Wear: The Scheming Female Supporting Role is Beautiful and Seductive

Chapter 252: Sacrificial Girl (9)

It can be said that the two of them are now lambs to be slaughtered.

Although Zhao Lan didn't show it on her face, she still felt scared after staying there for so long and it was so quiet around her.

She gradually began to feel strange and uneasy. She was brought here and could not leave for the time being, but she did not want her life to be threatened.

She lost her father and mother at a young age, and grew up eating at many people's homes. When she was a little older, she found a storyteller and did work similar to that of a page boy for him, helping him to tidy up things, and earned a living there.

But I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing, where unrelated people have to bleed and kneel down to worship others.

Incredible.

Zhao Lan knelt quietly, also alert to the movements around her.

She originally didn't want to take the initiative to talk to Shen Zhaowan, mainly because she didn't wait for Shen Zhaowan to coax her, so she was unwilling to bow her head first. However, the silent atmosphere added a bit of terror, so she spoke first.

Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything useful.

Zhao Lan glanced at Shen Zhaowan who was kneeling beside her. It would be more appropriate to say that she was sitting on her knees rather than kneeling.

She didn't expect Shen Zhaowan to be like that now. She looked timid, but she didn't feel her fear.

It seemed more like he was just perfunctorily dealing with everything. Zhao Lan couldn't stand it and was actually unhappy about it in her heart. So far, she didn't say anything else.

The incense ash falls bit by bit and gradually becomes shorter.

On the other side, all the villagers who had been away for a long time went to the chief's house.

"Patriarch, is this feasible?"

A slightly younger woman, about thirty years old, spoke.

Next to her was a girl about ten years old, who was being held by her hand and asked hesitantly.

The patriarch sat down with the help of a cane, and then said slowly with half-opened eyes: "No surprises, even if I have already accepted it."

As soon as these words came out, the woman was so happy, "Thank you, Chief!"

"Don't tell anyone about this for now. It won't be too late until everything is settled."

The clan leader warned everyone, his eyes full of ferocity, "We'll figure it out, and we'll be able to set a date soon."

The people standing in front of her all had looks that showed they understood. Everyone knew what was going to happen next without asking, and also knew what they were going to do to Shen Zhaowan and Zhao Lan.

……

The incense finally burned out, but Shen Zhaowan did not sense that Lin Hewei had been there.

The moment they stood up, the tightly closed wooden door opened and they were able to go out.

When she was sent back to the housekeeper's house, she was sitting in the yard.

Shen Zhaowan said hello, then returned to her room, opened the window and sat by the window.

Zhao Lan was not in a hurry to go back. She ran to the housekeeper and said, "Grandma, I'll sit with you for a while."

The housekeeper didn't even raise her eyebrows and agreed, "Okay."

Zhao Lan rubbed her knees and asked indirectly: "Mother-in-law, do I still need to go tomorrow?"

"Everything is up to me."

"Mother-in-law, what does this mean? I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me? Then I can do better."

After hearing what Zhao Lan said, the housekeeper suddenly looked up and smiled: "You should do better."

"But don't try to be clever. I don't have the answers you want to know. Just think of it as a simple welcome ceremony. After all, you will be staying here for a while."

After hearing what the housekeeper said, Zhao Lan did not believe it. On the contrary, she felt that something was wrong. But obviously, she was unwilling to say it, so naturally she could not ask anything.

Zhao Lan was a little anxious, and soon she thought of someone. When she went in today, she saw a little girl. It should be easier to get information from a child.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lan didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and chatted with the housekeeper about other things.

Compared to Zhao Lan's initiative, Shen Zhaowan looked quieter and more reassuring in their eyes.

This was also Shen Zhaowan's deliberate attempt to confuse them. As long as the final result was effective, there was nothing wrong with pretending.

She leaned against the window, listening to Xiaobai's retelling, and knew what they talked about.

I guess Zhao Lan will take action next.

Shen Zhaowan smiled in her heart. Zhao Lan was still so self-righteous!

But how can someone with her personality reflect on herself? She will never learn it in her life.

……

At this time, in a wooden house in the village, a woman in her forties was rolling her eyes.

She looked at her son working in the distance, and her thoughts became more active.

Everyone in this village has the same surname, Li. It seems like a secluded place, but I don't know if it is cursed. The population has been declining with each generation, and there are even fewer people in the younger generation.

However, this woman was still quite proud. She had two children, both sons, who worked with the housekeeper. This time, they were the ones who brought back the two strange girls together.

The more she looked at him, the more worried she became. Her two sons were already in their twenties. The elder one had married, but the younger one had not.

She saw the two girls today and one thought kept coming to her mind.

She stood up, turned around a few times, and was hesitant. She didn't dare to go to the patriarch to tell this matter. After all, they were the ones chosen by the patriarch. How could she be allowed to choose?

"Oh, why didn't I check it out yesterday?"

She sighed regretfully. If that were the case, wouldn’t the second child’s problem be solved?

Besides, those two are countless times stronger than the girls in the village, especially the quiet-looking one. With that appearance and that demeanor, I don’t know where Manager Li got her from. Don’t capture the rich girl.

"Mom, your legs are not good, why are you still standing, why are you walking around?"

The eldest son who was working suddenly shouted.

"You are a fool, and so is your brother. Why don't you bring such a beautiful woman home?"

Facing his mother's questioning, he dared not show his ferocious appearance and answered honestly: "Those were all chosen by Manager Li, how can I decide!"

"I'm so pissed off, what a fool."

After thinking about it, she went out.

The patriarch was preparing things needed for the evening. When he saw the woman coming, he stopped what he was doing and looked at her seriously.

"What brings you here?"

It had not been long since he left her yard when he came back, obviously wanting to say something.

The person who came smiled cautiously: "Chief, do you need any help?"

"No need, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush!"

"Well, I'll tell you, if I'm wrong, don't be angry, Chief. Just treat it as my fart, and blow it away. Haha."

She patted her chest in an attempt to lighten the mood.

"Go ahead!" The patriarch's attitude was casual, probably because he knew what kind of person she was.

The sooner you finish speaking, the sooner you leave.

"Chief, do we need two people this time?"

The clan leader's eyes had changed a little, and he was looking at her like a hook.

"I mean, my second son is old enough, can you please consider his situation? I am doing this for the good of our village!" She said more and more confidently, "This way, there will be more young people, and our village will be stronger. How great!"

The patriarch's walking stick hit the ground with a bang, which scared the visitor immediately. He shut up immediately and dared not say another word!
