The early summer morning light was still a little soft, but it was shattered by the thin, black and red coffin in front of the red lacquer door of Su Mansion.
The thick red paint reflected dazzling light in the sun, as if soaked in blood.
The coffin stood in the middle of the door, tightly blocking the guests who were holding invitations and preparing to attend the engagement banquet of Su Ruoyun, the eldest daughter of the Su family.
The guests whispered, with different expressions, curiosity, confusion, and a trace of uneasiness spreading in the air.
Su Mianmian stood next to the coffin, wearing a simple and elegant light blue skirt, with only a silver butterfly hairpin in her hair, which was incompatible with the gorgeous clothes of the guests around her.
There was a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were bottomless.
Hongdou, her maid, was trying hard to kick the side of the coffin with her toes, making a dull "thunk" sound, as if urging something.
"Miss, this coffin is a bit thin, but the red paint is really eye-catching. It makes the front of the Su Mansion look like a bloody mouth." Hong Dou complained in a low voice, but there was a faint excitement on her face. She knew that her young lady would never do anything useless.
Su Mianmian didn't respond, but raised her chin slightly to signal Hongdou to look.
