章節 114: Asking the Curtain Rollers

The red candle was burning on the desk. The bride had two lines of tears on her cheeks that left two visible marks on her heavy makeup.

Before marrying the State Duke Lu’s son, she had heard the old lord had an odd personality; though she hadn’t realized it would be this bad. He suddenly disappeared during the wedding ritual, and now he called the bridegroom out during their wedding night. Was he not satisfied with her or with her grandfather? If that were the case, why did he agree to the marriage in the first place?

Lu Ming didn’t know what was on his bride’s mind in their wedding room. As the youngest son of State Duke Lu, he was calm and observant, unlike his rumored personality, which was a rich, spoiled child of a duke. He knew his father must have had something important to tell him; and he also noticed something had changed in the room.
