Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Chapter 598 How could he be so drunk?

For some, life is just right, but for others, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

When Chu Xiaohe returned to the new house, he was helped back by Chu Yi, and he looked quite drunk.

Tuoba Liuli sat on the bed, with the matchmaker and maidservant still waiting by her side.

But when the Marquis returned, he seemed so drunk that he didn't even have the strength to lift the red veil from his bride's head.

The matchmaker looked anxious and couldn't help but glare at Chu Yi, complaining, "How did you serve him? Don't you know the groom can't get drunk tonight? The red veil hasn't been lifted yet, and the nuptial wine hasn't been drunk! He's already passed out drunk. What are we going to do?"

"I... Young Master is happy, I... I can't stop him!" Chu Yi didn't know why the young master was so willing to drink tonight. He didn't need anyone to force him to drink; he got himself drunk on his own.

However, to be honest, he didn't know exactly how much the young master had drunk. It seemed like he hadn't drunk much, so how did he get so drunk?

"Well, we can't drink the nuptial wine without lifting the veil!" the maid exclaimed anxiously.

Sitting on the bed, Tuoba Liuli remained quiet, only looking at Chu Xiaohe, who was being helped to sit down in a chair by Chu Yi, seemingly lost in thought.

Chu Xiaohe seemed to have overheard their conversation. Still drunk, he stood up and groped towards the bedside, saying, "Lift...lift the red veil..."

"Young Master, slow down!" Chu Yi was terrified and wanted to go over to help him, but he didn't dare.

This is the eldest young master and the seventh princess's bridal chamber. How could a rough man like him barge in like this? What if he breaks the rules of etiquette?

The matchmaker and her maid had no choice but to help her up.

But this marquis clearly seemed to resist women getting close. The matchmaker was slightly better; if a maid touched him, he would immediately push her away.

Oh dear, is this look even acceptable?

While everyone was pondering, Chu Xiaohe had already reached the bedside and sat down. Without waiting for anyone to give instructions or remind him, he suddenly lifted the red veil off Tuoba Liuli's head.

Four eyes meet.

He paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.

Tuoba Liuli stared intently into his eyes with her large, watery eyes.

He couldn't utter a single word; she remained silent as well.

Seeing that Chu Xiaohe was stunned but did not fall down, the matchmaker hurriedly told her maid to bring the nuptial wine over.

The maidservant said cautiously, "Lord, Seventh Princess, please drink the nuptial wine first."

The Marquis was quite drunk just now, but now, whether he was stunned by the Seventh Princess's beauty or something else, he sat obediently on the bed and showed no sign of collapsing.

But they panicked, fearing that the Marquis might suddenly fall headfirst.

After all, it's hard to say what a drunk person might do!

The nuptial wine was handed to Chu Xiaohe, who took it subconsciously. It took him a while before he looked away from Tuoba Liuli's face.

Then he became somewhat unsteady, his tall and slender body swaying slightly, startling the matchmaker and maid beside him, and even Chu Yi in the distance was terrified.

This nuptial wine must not be spilled, as that would be considered unlucky!

However, despite Chu Xiaohe's swaying body, the cup of wine remained firmly in his hand, not a single drop spilled.

He reached out his hand.

Tuoba Liuli also reached out her hand.

Their arms crossed, and their faces naturally came together.

Steaming hot.

Chu Xiaohe's breathing became erratic. He looked up and swallowed the wine without spilling a drop.

Something flashed in Tuoba Liuli's eyes, but she didn't think much of it at the moment. She lowered her head and drank the wine clean.
