The man's face still looks sickly, but his complexion is far better than before. He is struggling to suppress a cough, a faint layer of pallor surrounding the corners of his eyes. However, his intoxicatingly beautiful eyes are radiating with dangerous light.
His slender and pale fingers are locked around Su Luo's neck, gradually stripping her of breath. Her face begins to turn a shade of blue-purple.
She is desperately hitting the man's hand: "Let...let go..."
However, her plea is choked off in her throat by him.
This ungrateful wolf! She removed the poisonous insects from him, and now that he's better, he has started to hurt her.
The script seems to be wrong. In her previous life, he had obviously shown compassion for her. How come he now seems to want to strangle her to death?
Jiang Shu really wants to strangle her to death!
He rarely saves a life out of kindness, and when he did, he ended up being drugged and robbed. When he woke up, he was told that he had taken Miss Su Luo's innocence and was forced to marry her. The worst part was that the matter had been blown up to the Imperial Court, with the Empress as the matchmaker, making it impossible for him to divorce her!
That's not all. He had just intended to frighten her, who would want to touch a woman who hadn't bathed and had more powder on her face than a city wall? But she dared to use seduction incense on him!
Once again!
The most noble Princely Heir of the Jiang Family, who was feared to be broken if dropped since childhood, and feared to be melted if swallowed, when had he ever suffered such treatment, and it was from the same woman, too.
The more he thought about it, the more Jiang Shu felt his teeth itch with hatred, and he increased the strength of his grip.
"I... am going to... die..." Su Luo said disjointedly, her eyes beginning to roll back in her head.
Jiang Shu's brows knitted. If he really strangled her on their wedding night, he would not only have trouble explaining to the Empress, but her father could also tear down the Duke Residence.
He loosened his grip.
Su Luo instantly sprang up like a carp, rolled off the bed clutching the blanket, and began gasping for air.
"Are you trying to murder your wife? So, is this how you treat your savior?" Su Luo was furious!
Jiang Shu turned his head amidst the red candles and festive decorations around the room. His originally cool and noble eyes, which usually held the charm of a spring peach blossom, had now lost all their allure and were left with only a bone-chilling coldness.
Su Luo, clutching the blanket, was retreating warily. Just like an injured deer in a hunting ground, she seemed about to knock over a little glass box on the side table.
Jiang Shu shouted, "Don't move!"
Being under someone's roof, she had no choice but to bow her head. Su Luo quickly stopped moving.
The man was getting closer, and Su Luo's body tensed, her hand had already reached the leg of a stool.
If this man tried anything, she'd knock him out with the stool!
The man reached out, but not towards Su Luo. Instead, he picked up the box on the table, opened it, picked a pine nut candy, popped it into his mouth, and put the glass box back into his sleeve.
Su Luo snorted: He really does behave like a woman.
Jiang Shu furrowed his brows as if he wanted to cough but suppressed it, his throat throbbing weakly. He was out of breath, but that didn't diminish the sarcasm in his voice: "My savior?"
Su Luo pointed her chin towards somewhere: "The evidence is there, you can see for yourself!"
Luckily, she was prepared. Those poisonous insects were kept in a small jar beside the bed.
When Jiang Shu lifted the lid and saw the insects tightly packed inside, his eyes instantly narrowed: "How did you get them out?"
So, he knew there was something wrong with his body, but he just couldn't find a way to remove it.
"This is my Miaojiang Secret Technique. It would take me three days and three nights to fully explain it to you. However, there are still some residues inside you. If you kill me, no one else will know how to remove them."
The man still appeared weak: "So you undressed me to help me get rid of the insects? Then what's with the two red marks on my chest?"
