I am a god in the secret world

Chapter 282: [Until Death] Another Line
Biyun came quickly with a doctor, and her wife came with her.

Xu Taotao knew that it was her mother, Li.

Li came up and hugged her.

"My child, what's wrong with you? Let the doctor take a look at you."

The doctor examined Xu Taotao through a handkerchief. She was concentrating with her breath held, her brows furrowed, which made people feel distressed.

After a long while, the doctor said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that you are born weak and your qi and blood are deficient. You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise it may affect your fertility."

"Then doctor, could you please prescribe a prescription?" Li said quickly.

"Alright."

Li took the doctor out, and Biyun helped Xu Taotao wash and dress.

The New Year is almost here. It’s quite cold outside, but it’s still warm inside with the charcoal fire burning.

Xu Taotao walked out of the room and saw that Li had returned.

"I've asked the servants to get you some medicine. Don't go out if you're not feeling well."

Li grabbed Xu Taotao's hand, her eyes full of heartache.

"Alas, you have been weak and sickly since childhood. How can I feel at ease if I don't find someone who knows you and takes care of you?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? Don't I have someone to take care of me at home?" Xu Taotao said a little uncomfortably.

"Look, you're still shy, aren't you? You're fifteen, too. I wanted to have a look for you before, but it was always unsuccessful. But today, someone is coming to our house, and you can take a look behind the screen then."

As Li spoke, she pulled her towards the main hall.

"You go and have your meal first, it's still early. Let me tell you, that family is similar to ours, so we are a good match. However, their son has passed the imperial examination and his grades are always good. He will definitely pass the imperial examination in the future. By then, you can be considered an official's wife."

"His mother, Madam Wang, whom you have met before, is very kind and likes you very much. She knows you well and you will not suffer any loss if you marry her."

Xu Taotao pursed her lips tightly. She didn't like these words, but she couldn't tell why.

"Mom, I really don't want to get married." Xu Taotao said.

Li glared at her.

"Girls all have to get married, what do you think you are saying?"

Xu Taotao pursed her lips again.

But she just doesn't want to get married.

Xu Taotao looked to her side. It was winter and the yard looked desolate.

The dead branches trembled slightly in the cold wind, and Xu Taotao suddenly shivered.

She entered the main hall.

She was very silent during the meal, but that was just her personality.

Quiet, reserved, and gentle, she is the kind of daughter-in-law that the ladies like very much.

In fact, many people have come to propose to me since last year.

But for some reason, people who come to propose marriage always get into trouble, and as time goes by, some bad rumors spread outside.

Fortunately, these rumors are not serious, because those people were only slightly injured and no one was killed.

For a period of time, Li prayed to the gods and Buddhas every day for blessings, hoping that her marriage would be smooth.

But Xu Taotao always felt that if there were true rumors about her being a husband-killer, it would be better for her to never get married.

Xu Taotao felt a little tasteless and ate something reluctantly. Then Li arranged for her to go behind a screen and said that someone would arrive in a cup of tea.

Father Xu also came in.

Xu Taotao doesn't like her father very much. She always feels that her father doesn't like her.

Otherwise, why would he look at her so critically sometimes? But my father also looked at my mother in the same way.

Soon, Mrs. Wang came with her son.

Xu Taotao only took a look at the other person's figure behind the screen and lost interest.

She is too thin, as if she could be blown away by the wind. She looks so thin even in the middle of winter.

Xu Taotao thought to herself that she felt like she could knock out every one of them with one punch.

When this thought came to her mind, she was stunned for a moment.

After that, she became a little absent-minded.

When Li asked her, she just said that the other person was too thin and looked unhealthy. She herself was not in good health either, so she couldn't find another sickly person.

This made Li speechless, but Xu's father was a little angry. "How can you say that about someone based on his appearance? He doesn't get sick every day like you do. A scholar, he studies hard every day and is a little thin, but that shows that he is hardworking. He doesn't despise you for being weak and sickly, but you picked it up first. Do you know what people are saying about you now?"

Xu Taotao felt an inexplicable anger in her heart.

She looked at them with some resentment and said, "Then can I just die? Everything will be alright if I die, right?"

Having said that, she turned and left. Li anxiously called for help behind her, but was stopped by the furious Xu's father.

"Ignore her! Do you dare to threaten me with death?"

"Master, look at you..."

Xu Taotao walked very quickly, hurriedly and quickly, and almost tripped over her own skirt.

Biyun hurried over to help her, but she pushed her away.

Xu Taotao rushed directly into her room, closed the door, and sat in front of the dressing mirror with red eyes.

She felt so uncomfortable that her chest ached, but she couldn't figure out the source of these emotions.

She looked in the mirror and was suddenly stunned.

She moved closer to the dressing mirror carefully.

Then she discovered that the person in the mirror seemed different from herself?
A cold wind blew, and the window seemed not to be closed tightly. Xu Taotao shivered from the cold.

Then, she saw a somewhat horrifying scene.

The self in the mirror turned his head slightly, as if looking somewhere.

But she didn't move!

Xu Taotao felt cold all over.

……

When Bai Cha opened his eyes, he found himself back to the starting point.

She felt some pain all over her body, and she always felt like something was missing. She couldn't put her finger on it, but it was very strange.

She sat up and then there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, it's time to eat."

Bai Cha narrowed her eyes.

"Come in."

The maid came in and placed the food on the table, just like when she first entered the dungeon.

Bai Cha walked over, took a look at the food on the table, and then looked at the maid.

The maid was still a little confused.

"What's wrong, miss?"

Bai Cha suddenly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth.

The maid was startled and a dish of spoiled vegetable was stuffed into her mouth, so she spit it out subconsciously.

"Miss, what are you doing?" The maid looked at her in shock.

After all, everyday white tea is not like this.

"Can you taste what this dish tastes like?" Bai Cha said with a cold expression.

Bai Cha found himself back to the beginning and didn't intend to repeat it again.

She had already lost her image when she entered the Biyi Building, so there was no need to maintain it again.

The maid was a little stuttered and couldn't answer.

But of course she knew that the food had gone bad, as it had been doing every night for the past few days.

The main reason is that this way the kitchen can embezzle more money.

Anyway, Xu Taotao usually doesn't get angry and just says that she doesn't want to eat.

Bai Cha sneered and said, "Call the people from the kitchen."

She didn't know what the woman was trying to do by throwing her back, but she had already been to the lantern party outside, so she might as well try another line.

Bai Cha glanced around the room and suddenly paused.

If she remembered correctly, the candle next to the dressing table wasn't this tall at first, right?
