Chapter 456: The Pure-Clad Dark Heir 6

Tang Wan simply smiled, as if she hadn’t heard the sarcasm. “Thank you, Sister A-Li, for your blessing.”

Seeing that she didn’t get angry, Tang Li frowned slightly.

What was wrong with Tang Wan today?

Normally, she would have already started arguing.

And with her proud temperament, there was no way she would willingly marry Jiang Yuantong.

Tang Li had expected her to make a scene today, angering both their father and the Lin Prince.

Yet now… she was unusually calm.

…

At that moment, another concubine-born sister stepped forward. “Congratulations to Elder Sister on your wedding.”

Tang Wan accepted the gift and nodded. “Thank you, Fourth Sister.”

Not long after, the wedding matron entered. “The auspicious hour has arrived—the bride should proceed.”

Two maidservants stepped forward to help Tang Wan to her feet.

…

Outside the Tang residence, Jiang Yuantong was already standing at the gate, looking forward eagerly.

To him, marrying a bride was as exciting as playing house. Though his mind was simple, he had followed all instructions obediently, completing each step without mistake.

When he saw Tang Wan being escorted out, his eyes lit up.

The bride had come out!

Just as he was about to step forward, a servant beside him coughed lightly. “Second Young Master, take the red silk.”

Jiang Yuantong snapped back to attention and hurried forward, happily gripping the red silk handed to him.

After escorting Tang Wan into the bridal sedan, he mounted a tall horse.

From time to time, he glanced back at the sedan, his face full of joy.

Already strikingly handsome, he looked even more radiant dressed in bright red wedding robes.

Onlookers couldn’t help but sigh.

“If the Lin heir weren’t simple-minded, with his looks alone, countless noble ladies would be vying to marry him. What a pity…”

…

The procession arrived smoothly at the Lin Prince’s residence.

The ceremony proceeded without issue as the couple paid their respects.

Those who had come hoping to watch a spectacle were disappointed.

They had expected trouble—but the so-called foolish heir behaved no differently from an ordinary groom.

Even the Lin Prince quietly let out a breath of relief.

Everything had gone smoothly.

He quickly signaled for Tang Wan to be escorted to the bridal chamber, while Jiang Yuantong was briefly led away.

After all, given his condition, they had no intention of making a show of the wedding night—lest something embarrassing happen.

…

Inside the bridal chamber—

Not long after Tang Wan was seated, Jiang Yuantong rushed in.

“Bride! My bride!” he called happily, standing by the bed and staring at her with wide, innocent eyes.

The attendants in the room couldn’t help but laugh.

Tang Wan had no intention of letting them enjoy the spectacle.

“You may all leave,” she said calmly.

The attendants exchanged glances before replying in unison, “Yes, Madam,” and withdrew.

…

Once the room was empty, Tang Wan raised her hand, about to lift her veil.

But Jiang Yuantong quickly stopped her.

“Don’t move! Grandfather said I have to lift the veil!”

He had been waiting for this moment.

Tang Wan’s lips twitched slightly, but she lowered her hand. “Then I’ll trouble you, my lord.”

“Mm!” Jiang Yuantong rubbed his hands excitedly.

Stepping forward with exaggerated seriousness, he carefully lifted the red veil.

His eyes immediately fell on her face—unblinking.
