Chu Lingxuan asked again, "Are you used to it?"
Chen Ahfu looked up and smiled, "Not bad." He added, "Better than I thought."
It’s okay indeed.
Although she and Chu Lingxuan were engaged in a hurry, or "forced", they were in a free love relationship and knew each other well. She had heard him talk about the general situation here before, so she was not nervous. However, she still made various preparations in her mind, how should she deal with it if someone made trouble. Unexpectedly, from entering the Chu family to now, everything has been much smoother than expected.
Chu Lingxuan smiled and said, "That's good. This is also your home. Don't be so nervous. We will return to Dingzhou Prefecture in half a month."
He went to the bathroom to wash.
Chen Ahfu went into the bedroom and opened the closet. Half of the clothes were Chu Lingxuan's and the other half were hers. Because she had given some suggestions on the design of the closet before, wooden sticks were specially installed inside for hanging clothes. Xia Yue and Yu Zhuo had already hung their outer clothes on hangers in the closet. The inner clothes such as undershirts and trousers were stacked.
She took out a set of white undershirt and trousers and put them on the shelf beside the bathroom door.
After Chu Lingxuan left the bathroom, Chen Afu and Yuzhuo helped him put on a thin waistcoat and a brown-red satin gown on the outside.
He took Chen Ahfu's hand and came to the east room, and they sat down on the kang. He picked up the small white jade porcelain bowl in front of Chen Ahfu and scooped wontons from the basin.
Yuzhu, who was serving beside him, said, "Master, let me come."
Chu Lingxuan ignored her, scooped up four small wontons, placed the bowl in front of Chen Afu, and said with a smile, "Eat, you must be starving."
As he was an acquaintance of Chu Lingxuan, Chen Ahfu didn't act pretentiously and picked up the bowl to eat. After eating four wontons, his stomach felt better.
Chu Lingxuan put some more vegetables and fish into her bowl, and she ate them. As a habit, she ate quickly, but her posture was still very elegant.
Chu Lingxuan also ate a few bites of food, eating very slowly. He was not hungry at all. He had drunk a lot of wine and eaten some food with the guests in the front yard. But he knew Chen Afu must be hungry, and he was afraid that the bride would be embarrassed to eat alone, so he accompanied her.
Chen Ahfu only ate until she was six-tenths full before putting down the bowl. After all, she was a bride, and it was not good to eat too much. Besides, they still had to exercise later...
The servants cleared the table, and the two went to the bathroom to wash their faces and rinse their mouths. The mouthwash was soaked in perfumed water, and after rinsing, the fragrance remained in their mouths. They also changed into pajamas here.
When Chen Afu came out, Chu Lingxuan had already gotten into bed and was leaning against the headboard waiting for him.
In ancient times, men were not gentlemen. Men slept inside and women slept outside so that it would be convenient for women to go downstairs and serve men.
Chen Afu lifted her quilt and saw a piece of white silk on the red bed sheet. The color contrast was too great and extremely eye-catching.
After she lay down, Xia Yue lowered the curtains. The candlelight outside the tent was still bright, making the inside of the tent dim.
Chu Lingxuan held her in his arms, took off her clothes, and kissed her face and chest densely.
When he entered her body, she cried out softly. She didn't expect it to hurt so much. This guy was so impatient and didn't know how to control his strength. There was no "foreplay"...
She had this experience in her past life. Maybe she liked sports and had a good physique. Or maybe Liu Xudong understood women too well and knew how to make women feel less pain and more pleasure during their first time...
That time, she didn't feel any discomfort, but this time it felt very uncomfortable.
She felt that Chu Lingxuan was like a young man who knew nothing, not an experienced second-married man. He didn't know how to be gentle with women, or he simply didn't know how to be gentle with women.
From this point of view, Chu Lingxuan really didn't have many women. In this era when it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, Chu Lingxuan was already considered "clean in mind and body"... In her previous life, she foolishly regarded Liu Xudong as her good man. In fact, she didn't even know how many women he had.
She distracted herself with random thoughts, but still felt that time was too long. Chen Ahfu, who was in unbearable pain, was almost out of patience. Suddenly, Jin Yanzi's voice came into her mind, "Hey, Mommy, why didn't you make a sound of 'hum hum hum'? You are different from the previous heroines. Daddy Chu is also stupid and didn't say those mushy words. I was happy for so long to listen to your play, but I didn't expect it to be not fun at all."
Chen Ahfu had forgotten that there was such a little thing. She cursed in a low voice, "Disgusting."
Chu Lingxuan thought he was being talked about, so he quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll try harder and it will be done soon."
Still need to work harder? Chen Ahfu was in tears.
Finally it was over, Chen Ahfu was tired and in pain, she didn't want to move at all. She listened to Chu Lingxuan asking someone to bring water, and was carried into the bathroom by him, and took a mandarin duck bath.
When the two of them lay back in bed, they were no longer sleepy. Chu Lingxuan explained the arrangements for the next few days. Tomorrow they would meet their relatives and visit the ancestral temple. The day after tomorrow they would go back to their parents' home. The day after that they would go to the princess's mansion to meet their father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Chen Afu wondered, "Why didn't that person come to cause trouble today? I've been thinking for a long time about what to do if she makes things difficult for me."
Chu Lingxuan snorted coldly, "Not only does she want to come and accept our kneeling today, she also wants us to live in the princess's mansion as soon as we get married, and wants you to live there forever to serve your parents-in-law."
Let her enter the princess's mansion? How can that be possible! Chen Ahfu's eyes widened with fear, and he said anxiously, "No, I don't agree."
Chu Lingxuan lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying, "Of course not. Don't say you disagree. My grandfather, my third uncle and I all disagree. After she made that request, my grandfather went to the Golden Palace to cry, and my third aunt also went to the Queen Mother to cry. She said that Ma died suddenly, and Yan'er was tortured like that. Could it be that they want to torture this daughter-in-law to death?"
Chen Ahfu asked, "Could she have killed Ma? She is so evil that she could kill even her own relatives."
When Ma was mentioned, Chu Lingxuan fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling and said, "She probably didn't kill Ma... Ma, hey, later I heard that Ma wasn't willing to listen to her. She didn't want to go to the Marquis' Mansion to anger my grandfather, nor did she want to go to Yingxue Temple to anger my mother. Plus, she was worried and in poor health, so she died when giving birth."
After saying this, he sighed deeply. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he also felt sorry for that woman?
Chen Afu thought to herself, being abandoned by her own family and married off to their enemy, she was caught in the middle and thought that perhaps death would be the only relief.
Chu Lingxuan continued, "Although Ma's death was not intentional by that woman, Yan'er was badly harmed by her. After I brought Yan'er out, my grandfather took her to the Golden Palace to show the emperor, and then took her to the Cining Palace to show the empress dowager. That's why that woman was excommunicated and confined for a year..."
