Ghost Marriage, the Abandoned Wife Has Three Treasures

Su Zimo, a daughter of the Su family who was deemed worthless and incapable of cultivation, had her engagement with the Third Prince abruptly terminated by him on the streets, just a day before their wedding. To make matters worse, her own sister took her place in the marriage to the Third Prince, making her the subject of relentless gossip in the city. Consumed by resentment, she struck herself against the gate of the Su Family, inadvertently becoming the target of others seeking a ghost marriage. When Su Zimo finally regains consciousness, she finds herself awakening in a coffin. Considering her previous actions of hitting her head on the gate, this isn't entirely surprising. However, what astonishes her is the presence of another person lying beside her, dressed in vibrant red wedding attire. Overwhelmed by this sight, she nearly loses consciousness. On the other hand, he is burdened with an inexplicable and cursed status, which has plagued his family for generations. This curse, which has now befallen him, brings about unforeseen consequences. An accidental ghost marriage, a fierce business rivalry, and a tumultuous journey of love intertwine their destinies in a profound manner.

Su Zimo had a radiant smile playing at the corner of her lips. This was exactly what she wanted. After her appearance today, she believed that they would wholeheartedly consider the interests of Bright Moon Villa.

"Alright! Once you receive the elixirs, return to your cultivation. If you come across anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."

"Yes, owner," they replied.

Everyone couldn't contain their excitement as they headed to Qinghe to receive the elixirs. They wore smiles on their faces and their hearts were filled with gratitude and loyalty towards Su Zimo.

"Yunting, let's go inside and talk," Su Zimo said.

"Good!" He Yunting nodded, and the two of them walked towards the hall.

"Momo, I have already purchased all the properties in the capital that belonged to the Mu family, just as you instructed. I'm now waiting for you to return to Zhang Luo," He Yunting informed her. However, he couldn't understand why she held such deep hatred for the Mu family. Was it truly because of the past marriage?

"The Mu family holds great influence in the capital of Haoyue Country. Surpassing them won't be easy, especially considering that Mu Yunxuan is skilled in business, and their family's businesses have always excelled," He Yunting explained.

As soon as Mu Yunxuan's name was mentioned, an indescribable anger surged within Su Zimo. A scowl formed on her face beneath the mask. The image of Mu Yunxuan doing something despicable in the coffin came to her mind, making it difficult for her to accept. Moreover, it was highly likely that Xin'er's illness was caused by Mu Yunxuan consuming the poison from the bottle of unknown medicine. In this ancient world, she couldn't investigate further; she could only make educated guesses.

He Yunting could sense the hatred emanating from her, and he looked at her with a pained expression. These past few years had been incredibly difficult for her.

"Momo, the Mu family's primary industries in the capital are the paper industry, the auction house, pill medicine shops, restaurants, and jewelry businesses. They excel in these areas. Their most esteemed asset is the cultivation of silver grass in the divine pool within their Cloud City," He Yunting explained.

In fact, He Yunting was worried. The Mu family had deep connections, and he was concerned that their actions might harm Su Zimo once the Mu family discovered her intentions.

"Then we will compete with them in the paper industry. The Mu family's paper is inferior, with a yellowish hue and rough impurities, often containing remnants from the cocoons. We will start by challenging their pride in the paper industry. As for the auction house, we can't be inferior in the capital either. The ready-to-wear clothes and jewelry from Mingyue Villa are unique designs that don't rely on spirit grass or spirit pills. We can also make a significant profit," Su Zimo stated confidently. She wasn't someone who sought attention, and over the past two years, she had carefully hidden her true capabilities. She was biding her time to confront Mu Yunxuan in the capital of Haoyue Country.

"Momo, papermaking is not an easy task. Are you really determined to do it?" He Yunting asked, his worry evident. In the capital of Haoyue Country, the Mu family monopolized the paper industry, and other merchants didn't dare to venture into it due to technical difficulties.

"Yunting, I understand your concerns. However, we possess superior papermaking techniques that can produce whiter and softer paper. Why can't we do it?" Su Zimo replied rhetorically. She had acquired knowledge from the twenty-first century, and with a little application, she could make a significant impact.

Seeing the confidence and determination in her eyes, He Yunting realized he had been overly worried. This woman wouldn't embark on a battle without certainty.

"What do we need to do then?" He Yunting asked, relieved.

Su Zimo handed the drawings and stones to He Yunting. "These are the blueprints for the tile kiln. When I went for a walk this morning, I examined the terrain of the back mountain. I want you to find an open space near the back mountain's bamboo garden. Construct a kiln based on these plans and have someone locate this stone."

He Yunting looked at them curiously. "Momo, what do we need this stone for?"

"It's used for burning lime, which in turn helps create white and flawless paper. Lime has various applications," Su Zimo explained. She had discovered that there was no lime in Haoyue Kingdom, and the Mu family's paper mill relied on traditional techniques involving soaking raw materials, chopping, steaming, pounding, pulping, copying, drying, and pressing. Naturally, the paper's quality couldn't match that produced using lime water, thus providing her with an opportunity.

He Yunting looked at her with surprise. Even after two years, she still concealed her true abilities. This woman was truly unfathomable.

"Great! I'll ensure it's done as soon as possible. The shops have been vacated, so if you have no other plans today, you can go and inspect the location," He Yunting suggested. All his worries had dissipated, and he had regained confidence in her abilities.

"That's perfect. Xin'er has also awakened, and my sister is taking care of her. It's a good opportunity for us to explore the capital of Haoyue Country. We might discover more business opportunities," Su Zimo became interested. Previously, due to her circumstances, she rarely ventured into the market and was unfamiliar with the capital.

"I'll inform the team to prepare for the journey," He Yunting said, smiling as he walked out.

In Yuncheng's Mu family, Mu Yunhan hurriedly made his way towards Yingyuexuan, where Mu Yunxuan resided. As the two brothers met at the entrance, Mu Yunxuan, donning a black robe, exuded a majestic aura, captivating everyone's attention.

"Big brother, we have a problem," Mu Yunhan said anxiously.

Mu Yunxuan furrowed his brows. His piercing gaze met Mu Yunhan's as he inquired, "What's the matter?"

"Big brother, it seems like Mingyue Villa is genuinely targeting the Mu family. He Yunting has acquired shops next to or opposite our properties, and they've already been vacated and even decorated."

"So, they've truly set their sights on the Mu family. Let's go and see," Mu Yunxuan's eyes turned cold. He couldn't forgive anyone who dared to provoke the Mu family. Mu Yunhan then mentioned another matter.

"By the way, big brother, Miss Ling is here. She arrived yesterday, and as you were occupied, she considerately refrained from disturbing you. Shouldn't you go and see her before she leaves?"

"What would I gain from seeing her?" Mu Yunxuan's impatience was evident as his brows furrowed even deeper.
