Chapter 540: To Seek Revenge or Not
The people causing a ruckus in the bridal chamber eventually dispersed, and the room fell into a sudden quiet. Song Qingshu, swaying slightly, stumbled over to the bed and plopped down beside the bride. “Rou’er, don’t take it to heart. These people are just crude by nature. What I said earlier was only to humor them.”
Smelling the alcohol on the man beside her, Jiao Wan’er couldn’t help but curse inwardly, ‘Who would believe you? Others may not know your true nature, but don’t I know it all too well?’
“Rou’er, why aren’t you speaking? Are you scared?” Song Qingshu asked softly.
Feeling his breath, Jiao Wan’er, who had been tense and stiff, relaxed slightly upon hearing his uncharacteristically gentle tone. Even though she knew the tenderness wasn’t meant for her, she still found herself slightly lost in thought. ‘Is this really the same violent and ruthless demon…?’
“Oh, I just remembered! We need to drink our nuptial wine!” Song Qingshu smacked his forehead, as if suddenly realizing. Though he had many women in this life, she was the only one he had ever formally married. Naturally, he was unfamiliar with the tedious rituals of this world’s wedding customs.
There was also Zhou Zhiruo, but when he had married her, he hadn’t yet arrived in this world.
Through the edge of her red veil, Jiao Wan’er could see Song Qingshu staggering toward the table. She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip, praying silently, ‘Fall! Fall! Break your ne*ck, you ba*stard!’
Unfortunately, heaven did not seem to hear her prayers. Though Song Qingshu stumbled and wobbled, he still managed to return with two wine cups in hand.
Song Qingshu handed one of the cups to the bride, but she did not react at all.
