In front of her eyes was a large red veil made of mandarin ducks. Under the red veil, there were small pearl-studded tassels that swayed slightly with Chu Lian's body, drawing out beautiful arcs.

There was a light smell of agarwood in the room, as if it could calm people's hearts.

Chu Lian slightly lifted the red veil and looked around the decorations of the bridal chamber.

On the table, there was a dragon and phoenix candle as thick as a child's arm. In front of the candle, there was a 'wedding fruit'. Next to the table was an agarwood screen carved into the four seasons. There were also four square pieces of Lantian jade of the same size embedded on the screen.

Everything in front of her was exactly as described in the novel!

Chu Lian was overjoyed. This time, she was sure that she had transmigrated into the novel she had read before and became the female lead in the novel!

And right now, she was experiencing the scene described at the beginning of the novel.

When she thought about how she could marry such a good man, Chu Lian's heart was filled with anticipation!

She definitely wouldn't be like the female lead in the original novel, 'Chu Lian', who didn't follow the womanly rules. She wanted to be a good wife and live a carefree life with her husband. She wanted to manage her own small family and make up for her regrets in the modern world.

Unfortunately, when she transmigrated into the novel, she had only read half of it.

Just as she was lost in thought, there was the sound of messy footsteps and voices coming from outside.

Chu Lian hurriedly put down the veil and sat up straight.

Fuyan hurriedly walked in to remind her, "Sixth Miss, the matron of honor and son-in-law are here."

Xiyan hurriedly tidied up Chu Lian's wedding clothes, then respectfully stood to the side with Fuyan.

Chu Lian responded softly. Her heart was pounding. She was extremely nervous.

She felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Outside, the matron of honor's loud congratulatory voice sounded, as well as the hearty laughter of a few men.

Suddenly, the quiet atmosphere in the inner room was disrupted, and it became joyous.

"San Lang, quickly lift up the veil and let us see what kind of beauty sister-in-law has!"

"That's right, He San Lang, we can't wait!"

The matron of honor also responded with a few teasing words. She cheerfully handed the golden scale from the tray carried by the servant girl beside her to He Sanlang. "Third Young Master, lift the veil and be satisfied!"

Everyone's gazes fell on the bride who was sitting by the bed, waiting to see how beautiful the He family's bride was.

Therefore, no one noticed the flash of sarcasm and contempt in the groom's eyes.

Chu Lian, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was covered by a veil. She could only see a pair of black and red wedding boots in front of her. The boots were embroidered with complicated cloud patterns. It was very beautiful.

Then the golden rod appeared under the red veil. In the next second, the bright red world became bright. Chu Lian subconsciously squinted her eyes as if she couldn't stand the sudden brightness.

With curved eyebrows, red lips, almond-shaped eyes, and peach cheeks, the bride whose veil had been lifted had a bright and beautiful appearance. She was like a fresh lotus that had just bloomed, shy and charming.

Chu Lian only raised her head to glance at her future husband, He Changdi, before hurriedly lowering her head, not daring to look any longer.

But it was this unbearable shyness that added a new color to the beautiful bride in front of her.

Immediately, there were good friends who began to jeer.

"San Lang, you brat, you're so lucky!"

Even the Second Young Master patted his younger brother's broad and strong shoulders in satisfaction.

He gave his approval to his new sister-in-law.

Very quickly, He Changdi was pulled out by his classmates and friends to drink.

A few matrons of honor stayed behind and exhorted a few words before leaving. The bridal chamber was restored to its tranquility.

Chu Lian's heart was still thumping. Thinking of that hurried glance just now, she still couldn't believe that such a handsome and outstanding man would really be her husband in the future!

Immersed in joy, Chu Lian completely ignored the slight difference in the look in her eyes when they just met.

Gui Momo, who was tidying up at the side, wrinkled her brows tightly. She was over thirty years old and had seen countless people. Just now, when everyone was paying attention to the bride's appearance, she was looking at the new son-in-law's expression.

Whether he was satisfied with the bride or not, one could roughly see it from the man's eyes.

Gui Momo was very confident in Chu Lian's appearance but when the new son-in-law saw this bright and beautiful young female, there was not even a little bit of surprise in his deep eyes. It was like an ancient well, calm and without any ripples.

Thinking of this, Gui Momo turned her head to look at Sixth Young Lady who was sitting at the bedside and could not suppress the smile on her lips. Her heart was restless and she secretly hoped that she had seen wrongly.

Unless one had a heart of stone, which man would not be willing to dote on such a beautiful wife?

Chu Lian reached out her hand wanting to take off the phoenix coronet on her head but was stopped by Xiyan at the side, "Sixth Young Lady, just now the matrons of honor had instructed that this phoenix coronet must be left for Third Young Master to personally come and take it off for you."

Chu Lian helplessly put down her hand and twisted her sore neck before giving up.

Xiyan looked at Sixth Young Lady's appearance and found it somewhat funny, "Sixth Young Lady need not be anxious. It will not be long in front. With Old Matriarch holding down the fort, the son-in-law will come back from time to time."

Xiyan's teasing words made Chu Lian's face turn red.

"You talk so much. Why do I see you as a taciturn gourd on normal days?"

Chu Lian rebuked her with a glare before calming down. She got up and instructed a few maids to tidy up the things that she brought. In less than an hour, a young maid outside reported that the son-in-law had returned.

There were peanuts, longans and other things scattered all over the wedding bed. Chu Lian let Gui Momo clean those up and He Changdi also entered the outer room at this time.

This time there was no one by He Changdi's side and there was only a matrons of honor who came to teach the rules.

When He Changdi entered the inner room, the matrons of honor smiled and let the maids serve the nuptial wine that was prepared earlier.

"Third Young Master, Third Mistress, after drinking the nuptial wine, in the future you will be husband and wife who will share weal and woe together!" The matrons of honor handed the nuptial wine over with a face full of smiles.

He Changdi's posture was tall and straight, like an indomitable pine tree that made people look up to him.

He took his own cup but still stood in front of the bed and did not move a single step. The matrons of honor suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the bridal chamber was depressed and gloomy. She secretly wiped off the cold sweat on her forehead and giggled as she handed the other cup of nuptial wine to Chu Lian.

"After Third Young Master and Third Mistress drink the nuptial wine, Third Young Master must personally remove the phoenix coronet from Third Mistress' head. Husband and wife will definitely be harmonious and beautiful in the future."

Just as the matrons of honor finished speaking, He Changdi coldly opened his mouth, "Alright, you can withdraw."

Ha?

That matrons of honor had not regained her senses and subconsciously opened her mouth, "Third Young Master, you have not drunk …"

"But did you not hear what I said?"

He Changdi's voice suddenly became serious, causing the warm and fragrant air in the room to have a trace of coldness.

The matrons of honor was only born as a servant so how would she dare to argue with the Third Young Master of the He family? She answered in fear and trepidation and left behind two more auspicious words before leaving with the young maids in a fluster.

Racking her brains, she did not know why this Third Young Master of the He family suddenly went crazy and could only lament that she was the first matrons of honor to be chased out of the bridal chamber.

Chu Lian, who was waiting to drink the nuptial wine with her head lowered, was stunned for a moment as she did not understand what was wrong with He Changdi.

Why was this scene different from what was described in the novel?

Her eyes were still confused when He Changdi called out to Gui Momo, Xiyan and the rest to be chased out.

Chu Lian raised her head to look at He San Lang. His brows were like a painting and the outline was clear. After seeing the real person, his facial features were like beautiful jade and Chu Lian felt that he was even more handsome than what was described in the novel. But what was with that uncontrollable coldness in his brows?

What was with that cold and even mocking gaze that looked at her?

For a moment, Chu Lian was stunned by that cold and arrogant face and was somewhat at a loss.

According to the development of the novel, even though He Changdi did not consummate the marriage because of the female lead's rejection, but He Changdi treated the female lead warmly in the bridal chamber.

But the current situation made her have a bad premonition.

As if seeing the puzzled look in Chu Lian's eyes, He Changdi took a step forward and bent down slightly. His cold eyes did not have a trace of gentleness or joy and were as cold as a few feet of ice. He stared intently at the flowery young lady in front of him, as if trying to find something from her eyes.

After seeing the young lady's panic, He Changdi's lips suddenly hooked up and revealed a smile that made one's entire body turn cold. He was obviously a handsome and extraordinary man with a righteous aura but when he smiled like that, there was a trace of extreme evil charm.

Chu Lian was momentarily bewitched by He Changdi's appearance and could not react.

But following that, He Changdi raised his hand slightly and slowly poured the nuptial wine in the wine cup onto the floor …

Chu Lian looked at his action in disbelief as she watched the small cup of nuptial wine leave a dark wet mark on the red Persian carpet.

Subconsciously, she murmured, "What are you doing?"

Before Chu Lian could react, the cup of nuptial wine in her hand was also slapped away and the wine spilled on her red wedding dress. The next second, her wrist was tightly gripped by someone and a bone-chilling voice sounded in Chu Lian's ear, "Can't you see what I'm doing?

My wife! "

Damn, what the hell is going on? Why is he not acting according to the script? Chu Lian wailed in shock and anger in her heart. But before she could speak, He Changdi rudely pulled off the phoenix coronet on her head and threw it on the ground. The phoenix coronet was tangled with her black hair bun, causing her scalp to hurt.

He Changdi suppressed his voice and roared, "You don't deserve this phoenix coronet!"

Chu Lian reached out to push the man's chest in front of her, but her strength was too weak. Scratching the man's body was like a cat's paw, without any power at all.

Seeing her resistance, He Changdi's anger surged. His eyes turned red and he strangled Chu Lian's slender and soft white neck. The blue veins on his slender hands were bulging and his eyes were full of hatred!

Chu Lian could clearly feel his murderous intent!

Poor Chu Lian had never seen such a scene before. She could only feel the pain from the man's tight grip on her neck. Tears streamed down her face and she couldn't breathe. It was as if she was going to die in the next moment!

Her slender and fair face had already turned purple. He Changdi felt that if he exerted a little more strength in his grip, he would be able to get rid of this' vicious woman 'in front of him forever!

But when he thought of his expectant grandmother, his brothers who were always thinking of him, and the reputations of the Duke of Ying and Duke Jing 'an, he glared at her hateful eyes and could only slowly loosen his grip. He would let this' sl * t 'live for the time being!

After her neck was released, Chu Lian's face was deathly pale. She touched the bruise on her neck with both hands. Air rushed into her throat and she couldn't help but cough violently.

If she was really strangled to death by her newlywed husband, she would be the most pitiful transmigrator in the world.

Chu Lian's throat was dry and unbearable. She couldn't even speak and could only hold her chest as she panted heavily.

He Changdi's expression darkened even more. He laughed coldly and said, "Sixth Young Miss Chu, don't think that you're the only smart person!"
