Chapter 558: Consort Liang (1) (1/2)

Once He Ying and her daughter left, Chu Lian turned to look at He Sanlang with a wide smile on her face. She blinked at him with her bright almond-shaped eyes, giving the icy-faced He Sanlang an itch in his heart.

A loud gulp sounded from his throat, before he set down his spoon and asked seriously, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Lian’s bell-like laughter rang out, “I didn’t expect that! You were really impressive.”

He Sanlang felt that his wife was talking nonsense; when had he ever been anything but impressive?

Despite such thoughts, he was still in high spirits from Chu Lian’s praise.

In his usual tsundere way, he snorted, “So you’ve finally realised how amazing your husband is?”

Chu Lian chuckled. She held back her retorts and made a rare show of agreement, “Yes, I’ve only just realised that. You’re sooo amazing, I’ll listen to everything you say from now on!”

It was at this moment that the beaming Senior Servant Zhong entered the room with a bowl of tonic in her hands, “Third Young Madam, it’s time to drink the soup.”

After drinking the same soup for so many days, Chu Lian had the urge to puke just from the smell alone. She stood up with the intention to leave, but He Sanlang grabbed hold of her petite wrist.

“Drink the tonic. Have you forgotten what you just said?”

Chu Lian wanted to knock herself out on a block of tofu. She had just shot herself in the foot! What kind of brain fart did she have just now? Why did she make such a promise to her lunatic husband!?

She had basically dug a hole and jumped straight into it!

There was no way around this. She didn’t have the moral high ground here, so she had no choice but to down the tonic in a single breath.

……

Darkness had fallen over the capital, but the imperial palace remained a resplendent sight under the pale light of the moon, dripping with riches and grandeur.

The tallest hall in the palace stood as proof of the highest authority.
