Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling Chapter 353 - 355: Strange Bed

She panned her phone around again, sowhat dissatisfied.

"But that can’t be right. If his mom were dead, I should know about it. There’s no way the neighbors wouldn’t have said sothing. Are they all covering for the family? Besides, his mom was just greeting the neighbors a mont ago!"

"She can’t actually be dead, can she?"

Realizing her tone was full of doubt, which wasn’t good, Ming Yue quickly tried to explain.

"Host, I’m not doubting you. I just think there are too many plot holes."

She hastily explained.

But Su Nian just stared fixedly at the earthen wall behind her and said.

"Don’t you find this house a little... oppressive?"

[Yeah, it is a bit oppressive. I feel like it’s really stuffy.]

[Right! It feels like you can’t breathe.]

[Oh, I just realized—this house doesn’t seem to have any windows!?]

[So that’s it, no windows!]

[Is it because it’s hard to build windows in this kind of earthen house?]

[No way. People usually leave space for windows when building a house, especially since you can see they even have a TV set up.]

[Back in my village, a room like this would be the best-decorated one. It should have a big window, not be like this with four earthen walls.]

Seeing the viewers’ comnts, Ming Yue also looked around the room.

’They’re right, it is strange. Why doesn’t this house have any windows?’

Su Nian continued to remind her.

"And haven’t you noticed? In the countryside, no matter how humble the conditions, every family should have a spacious yard. But have you seen a spacious yard at his house?"

Ming Yue began to ponder this.

[Ah, no spacious yard? In the countryside, that’s definitely not normal.]

[Right! I live in the countryside, and if we were building a house, we’d specifically leave a huge plot of land for a yard!]

[Why’s that? Is it to show off who’s rich by having a bigger yard?]

[No, no, it’s because we grow crops in the countryside. A lot of things, like beans and wheat, need to be laid out to dry. A spacious yard is much better for that.]

At Su Nian’s reminder, Ming Yue froze. It ca back to her in a daze.

Before dinner, when her future mother-in-law was busy killing a chicken, she had suggested...

...that she could kill it outside, where the sll wouldn’t be as strong.

But the woman had just given a faint smile and continued to kill and pluck the chicken right there, saying their family didn’t have a yard.

At that thought, a cold dread instantly washed over her.

’Sothing is really wrong here. And it was a bright, sunny day when we arrived, but ever since getting here, it’s just felt gloomy and cold. I’m even wearing a thick jacket now.’

In her daze, a flash of insight sparked in her mind, but Ming Yue couldn’t quite grasp it in ti.

Just then, her boyfriend and future mother-in-law were calling to her again.

Telling her to hurry up and eat.

This place was just too weird. Ming Yue swallowed hard, not daring to go over.

"I’m not hungry. You guys go ahead."

"Yueyue, darling, how can you not eat!"

Just then, the gaunt old woman walked over without a sound.

Her lifeless, almost grayish eyes were fixed on her.

Ming Yue jumped, not knowing what to say.

After a long mont, she managed to croak out a reply.

"I was in the car all day, so I’m a little carsick. I think I’ll wait a bit before eating."

She made an excuse. The old woman didn’t press her, but she did give her phone a deep look.

Ming Yue’s heart leaped into her throat, but then she heard the old woman say with sothing like a sigh.

"The picture on that phone is so pretty. That girl is beautiful. Is she your friend?"

Ming Yue didn’t want to explain the livestream. It was awkward, and she didn’t know how to respond.

But her future mother-in-law’s eyes remained fixed on the screen.

’She’s so old and lives in the countryside,’ Ming Yue thought. ’She probably can’t read, right?’

Feeling a little calr, Ming Yue explained, "Yes, Ma’am. She’s a good friend of mine."

She explained dryly, then moved the phone a little further away.

She didn’t dare et those pale pupils.

Ever since Su Nian had said those things, she felt that everything about this house was strange. It felt exceptionally cold, with an indescribable chill.

The old woman nodded and walked back with a placid expression.

Her boyfriend ca over again. Afraid he would see the livestream,

Ming Yue angled her phone away slightly and asked.

"What’s wrong?"

Her boyfriend, who usually made her feel so sweet and happy, now rested his chin on her shoulder.

His tone was syrupy sweet, tinged with a hint of vexation.

"I’ve just realized, Yueyue, my mom likes you so much. It makes so happy!"

Hearing this, Ming Yue was so frightened she could barely stand steady.

Facing this increasingly strange boyfriend, she could only swallow hard and laugh awkwardly. "Haha, is that so? That’s... that’s great!"

Her acting was so clumsy that even her boyfriend could see through it. Just as she was worrying about how to explain herself,

her boyfriend had already found an excuse for her.

"Baby, are you just tired from the car ride today? I’m so sorry, baby. It’s really remote out here. Why don’t you go get so rest first."

He led her to another room. It also had four earthen walls, and once again, no windows.

There wasn’t even a proper door, just a long, narrow, and misshapen bed placed in the middle.

For so reason, the sight of the bed made Ming Yue’s heart start POUNDING. She felt that sothing was very, very wrong.

She didn’t dare speak to Su Nian anymore. Her boyfriend could read, and she didn’t have Bluetooth earphones or anything. She could only offer a flustered explanation.

"I don’t really like sleeping in beds other people have slept in. You know , I’m a bit of a germaphobe."

"Oh, is that so?"

But her boyfriend, who had been speaking to her so gently just a mont before,

suddenly shoved his face right in front of hers. His pupils were still bottomless pits, radiating a terrifying, profound darkness.
