NABC Chapter 3
Chapter 3
In her past life at this time, she had drunk a bit too much and didn’t care much about the situation of her newlywed husband. She just went straight to sleep in the new bedroom, giving Liang Jue a less than satisfactory wedding night.
Although they made up for the wedding night later and she didn’t neglect him in bed, she had never been close to a man before and hadn’t shown much compassion towards her husband, so she couldn’t be considered a gentle wife.
Furthermore, when her stepfather came to cause trouble for Liang Jue, she didn’t intervene. It could be said that in the early days of their marriage, Liang Jue didn’t have an easy time. At the moment she saw Liang Jue, she felt like fleeing, but reason told her that running away would only bring worse consequences. Shen Meng took a deep breath and reached for the delicate little golden scales.
She used the sharp end to lift the veil off her newlywed husband’s face.
When she saw the young Liang Jue, she naturally paused for a moment. Xi Gong, who dressed up Liang Jue, were very clever. He didn’t use thick powder to whiten Liang Jue’s face, just slightly brightened his complexion, lightly applied some rouge, and affixed a golden flower ornament to his brow, highlighting his natural beauty as much as possible.
Her pause wasn’t because of Liang Jue’s beauty or because his shy demeanor was too charming, but because Liang Jue’s appearance was so different from what she remembered. One was lifeless, like a deep and still pond, while the other was lively and radiant.
Recalling the wild night from yesterday, his cheeks flushed a bit red again. Seeing this, the servant who helped him dress couldn’t help but joke, “Today when Xi Gong came, he left happily holding a veil. At that time, you were still sleeping soundly. The Mistress specially instructed us not to make any noise to avoid disturbing you. I say, young master, Mistress must have fallen for you at first sight. You can relax your heart.”
The servant’s eyes were smiling, and Liang Jue’s face also showed a bit of joy, but he was more restrained and thoughtful than the servant. Although Shen Meng was gentle with him yesterday, her actions were not those of a novice.
Shen Meng’s background wasn’t bad, but compared to him, it was definitely inferior. He was quite favored in his family. Seeing that he really liked her, his mother, father and eldest sister investigated her thoroughly. But he’s sure that Shen Meng has good abilities and decent behavior.
She wasn’t like some noble ladies who were noble but behaved recklessly before marrying their husbands, and even had illegitimate children.
But it was still about someone’s family matters, and some things his family couldn’t investigate thoroughly. Could it be that Shen Meng was hiding something privately? Liang Jue’s sweet bubble hadn’t even floated in the air for long before it was burst by his increasingly wandering thoughts, and his mood became somewhat sour.
Seeing him regain his composure, the servant dared not speak out of turn and just finished his grooming. While he was tidying Liang Jue’s clothes, the peaceful atmosphere outside suddenly became noisy. Shen Meng’s servant, Xia Cao, ran in out of breath, panting as he spoke, “Young Master! Master Li has arrived!”
The Master Li he referred to was Shen Meng’s stepfather, Mr. Shen Li of the Shen family.
