It was late at night, the red candles were more than half burned, the relatives and women had already left, and the bright red festive new house was quiet.

The door was pushed open, and clear footsteps approached her steadily.

Lin Yulan's heartbeat suddenly became unbalanced, and she subconsciously clenched her hands that were folded in front of her body and hidden in her sleeves.

Xiao Qu, who was standing by the side, knelt down hurriedly and saluted: "My Lord, my Lord, I pay my respects to you!"

"Go back."

"Yes......"

The man was standing in front of Lin Yulan at this moment. Although she couldn't see him through the veil, Lin Yulan still felt a pressure coming down on her.

Lin Yulan lowered her head. From under the veil she could see the toes of a pair of pink and white boots worn by the man. There were auspicious scroll cloud patterns woven in gold thread on them, which looked gorgeous and ostentatious.

She didn't dare to move.

Shao Xun's face involuntarily appeared in my mind.

In fact, she had not seen him many times in her previous life. Although they were brothers-in-law, there were differences between men and women after all. Moreover, Shao Xun and Lin Yuwei had a very bad relationship. More than three years after they got married, Shao Xun died in a fire.

Lin Yulan only vaguely remembered that Wuwei Hou was a young man with an extremely outstanding figure and appearance. His demeanor, coupled with his reputation for being unruly, made countless people sigh "What a pity!"

The man sat down at the round table opposite her with the rustle of his robes. After a moment, he said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Your Lin family is quite interesting."

Lin Yulan was speechless.

At the beginning, the two families were talking about Lin Yuwei, but suddenly it became her and the wedding date was moved forward. No wonder he was so sarcastic.

In his previous life, he and Lin Yuwei had such a bad relationship. Lin Yuwei had a bad temper, and so did this marquis. No wonder the two of them couldn't get along.

In this life, seeing his attitude, Lin Yulan did not dare to have any extravagant hopes. She just didn't provoke him, and she thought they could live in peace. Thinking that he would not live long, it was quite pitiful, so Lin Yulan didn't care about any weirdness.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't lift the veil. She could no longer maintain the stiff posture she had been holding with her back straight since he came in. She couldn't help but move, and the bright red veil swayed gently like ripples, reflecting the festive candlelight in the room.

Finally, the light in front of her eyes brightened. Lin Yulan raised her eyes slightly and met a pair of dark eyes. The man had clear eyebrows, a high nose bridge, perfect facial features, and thin lips that were slightly pursed, as if he was born with a cool and indifferent look. There was a faint smile on his lips, as if mocking or joking.

In Shao Xun's eyes, the bride, dressed gorgeously under the candlelight, was gorgeous and beautiful, absolutely stunning. It was a pity that the concubine's daughter of the Lin family was so beautiful, why did she marry him!

Lin Yulan waited for a long time, but her husband didn't make any move. She sighed secretly, carefully took off the jeweled phoenix crown and placed it aside. She looked at Shao Xun with her dark and moist eyes, and said softly, "This marriage was decided by our parents. I...like the Marquis, I am following the wishes of our elders."

Shao Xun looked at her with a half-smile: "You are a virtuous woman."

Lin Yulan also curled her lips slightly and said softly, "My Lord, you are too kind. Actually, I don't have much knowledge and I don't know much, but at least I understand some things and know some of the duties of a wife."

"Duty, duty is good!" Shao Xun glanced at Lin Yulan, his eyes deepened, and then smiled and said, "I wonder how Madam plans to perform her duty?"

Lin Yulan subconsciously felt that he was testing her, and she also wondered if she was overthinking it because she was too nervous about getting married and moving to an unfamiliar environment.

Because this is not something a reckless, cock-fighting, and lackey-like dandy would do - there is no need.

Lin Yulan: "When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer."

"Then you are wrong!" Shao Xun denied it without hesitation, "I have nothing to ask you to be proud of. Whether you are harmed or not, it will not implicate me!"

Lin Yulan: “…”

He is indeed a playboy who doesn't mind doing anything.

It would be strange if Lin Yuwei could get along with him.

But she didn't think it was a big problem.

"What I mean is that I will be careful in what I say and do, and I will not dare to lose your dignity in front of others. Please do the same. As for private matters, please do as you please. I will not say much about your affairs."

Shao Xun finally looked her in the eye.

After exchanging the engagement letter, he sent someone to secretly check on his fiancée. She was a concubine's daughter, unfavored, and her biological mother had passed away. She was cautious and taciturn, and was suppressed by her stepmother and stepsister.

I thought he was a weak and indecisive person, but it seems he was wrong.

"You really think so?"

"Yes."

"That's a lot less trouble. I might as well say a few more words to you." Shao Xun was a rebellious person, and he was extremely disgusted with this marriage that was forced upon him by his grandmother using his deceased grandfather and his parents. He was very angry and felt very uncomfortable today, but he didn't expect that after entering the bridal chamber, his anger would disappear without him noticing.

Since his new wife was sensible, he didn't mind giving her some face. More importantly, he had a feeling that this bride was beyond his expectations, and certainly beyond the expectations of the old lady and the others, which made him look forward to it for no reason...

"You are a law-abiding person, and you have the dignity you deserve here. But I don't know if my second aunt and the old lady will cause trouble for you. I don't mind helping you if I can, but if you want me to protect you and stand up for you in everything, I'm afraid that's not possible."

There are countless shady tricks in the backyard. It is impossible for him to hang around in the backyard every day, and he cannot protect them.

This may not sound pleasant, but it is the truth and also a reminder.

Lin Yulan nodded gently, she understood. Things in the backyard were like this, men could not interfere at all, and it was impossible to rely solely on men to gain a foothold in the backyard.

Marquis Wuwei is obviously a reasonable man. How could Lin Yuwei become so resentful and hateful towards him?

But thinking about Lin Yuwei's arrogance, selfishness and stupidity, it seems to make sense.

"Thank you for your reminder, my lord. I know what to do now. Don't worry, my lord. I won't cause any trouble for you. If you need my cooperation in the future, please tell me directly. I will do my best."

If it's something that makes her feel embarrassed, then forget it.

Shao Xun chuckled briefly, "No problem!"

He is a sensible person.

Shao Xun stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Lin Yulan was secretly anxious and was about to speak tactfully, but she saw him turn into a room behind a partition, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he did not leave the bridal chamber, otherwise he would be laughed at to death tomorrow and would not be able to move an inch in this mansion.
