Chapter 1: Marrying Mr Right (1)
There was a red bridal veil covering her eyes. She could see the stitches behind the embroidery: a pair of mandarin ducks, representing love and devotion. The tiny pearls attached to the veil’s tassels swayed with her every move, tracing beautiful arcs.
A delicate watery fragrance was drifting in the air, creating a calming atmosphere within the room.
Chu Lian lifted the veil slightly and cast a measuring gaze over the arrangements of the bridal chamber.
There was a pair of red wedding candles as thick as a child’s arm burning on the table, and a basket of red eggs in front of them. A decorative screen made of agarwood with a carving of the four seasons stood next to the table. There were even square pieces of Lantian jade, each about the same size, inlaid on the screen.
This scene was exactly the same as the one described in the novel!
A wave of joy burst forth in Chu Lian’s heart. She had really transmigrated into the novel she had been reading, and she had even taken the place of the female lead!
What she was experiencing now was the beginning of the novel.
Chu Lian was filled with expectation. Now that she was the female lead, she could marry the perfect man described in the novel!
She was not going to violate her marriage vows like the novel’s female lead, ‘Chu Lian’, had. She was going to be a virtuous wife, pass carefree days with her husband, and properly manage her own household in order to make up for the previous regrets that she had had in the modern world.
It was a pity that she had only read halfway through the book before she had been transmigrated.
While she was lost in her thoughts, the sound of footsteps and voices came from outside the room. Chu Lian hurriedly lowered her veil and corrected her posture.
A flustered maidservant, Fuyan, came in to remind her, “Sixth Miss, the bridal attendants and Young Master are here.”
Another maidservant, Xiyan, quickly adjusted Chu Lian’s bridal dress before standing respectfully with Fuyan to one side.
Chu Lian made a sound of acknowledgement. Her heart was thumping in her chest and she was unbelievably nervous inside. She felt like her heart was about to leap out of her throat.
The bridal attendants’ congratulations rang out, followed by the candid and teasing voices of some men. In an instant, the peace in the room was broken by the noise outside, and the atmosphere turned boisterous and joyful.
“Sanlang 1, quick, take off the veil and let us see what kind of beauty our sister-in-law is!”
“That’s right, He Sanlang, we can’t wait any longer!”
One of the bridal attendants echoed the teasing and happily picked up a golden rod from a nearby maidservant’s serving tray, passing it over to the third son of the He Family. “Third Young Master, please pull aside the veil. May all your wishes come true!”
Their gazes shifted to the bride sitting in proper posture on the bed. Everyone wanted to see what the He Family’s newest daughter-in-law looked like.
Thus, no one noticed the trace of mocking contempt that flashed through the groom’s eyes.
From behind the cover of the bridal veil, Chu Lian could only see a pair of black and red wedding boots in front of her. They were embroidered with a complicated pattern of flowing clouds and looked quite pretty.
The golden rod appeared under her veil. In the next second, the red that had filled her vision transformed into a bright world. The sudden light was overwhelming; Chu Lian couldn’t help but squint.
