Getting Married

"Are all these things part of the Eldest Miss's dowry?"

Cuiqin was dumbfounded.

Ever since the marriage between the Eldest Miss and Prince Huan was arranged, there have been too many rumors. She had heard that the Eldest Miss's dowry was generous, but she did not expect it to be this much!

"This is only the betrothal gift from the Prince, and what the young lady herself has. The things left to her by the late madam haven't been brought out yet."

Xiruo rubbed her hands together.

"It's so cold."

It's already the Winter Month, and tomorrow is Lin Yunwan's wedding day. Jiangqian is starting to get cold.

Unlike the cold of the Capital, the Jiangqian was damp and chilling, penetrating to the bone.

Cuiqin had grown accustomed to the cold Winter Months in Jiangqian.

She exhaled a puff of mist, staring wide-eyed at the dowry being carried out like a flowing river, and said, "When will this ever finish? No, when will we ever finish moving it all to the Prince's mansion?"

When a girl gets married, her dowry is the first thing she receives.

Early tomorrow morning, Nanny Zhao will take Cuiqin and the dowry to the Prince's Mansion to make the bed for the new bride and arrange the dowry.

But with so much dowry...

Xiruo looked at Cuiqin with sympathy and said, "I'm afraid you and Nanny Zhao will have to set off after the Zi hour."

Cuiqin swallowed hard and said, "I'm not afraid of getting up early."

She had no intention of sleeping tonight.

"I'll go in and check on the girl."

Lin Yunwan was listening to Nanny Fan speak.

"A woman obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage..."

These are all instructions for women, but the most important thing is to teach the bride how to spend her wedding night with her husband.

Nanny Fan took out a book called "Fire-Avoidance Picture," placed it on the bed, and said in a low voice, "Let me give the young lady a brief explanation first."

Seeing the couple entwined in love above, Lin Yunwan's face flushed instantly.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen the "Fire-Avoidance Picture," but it was just a cursory glance.

This life will be different.

Marrying Qi Lingheng it won't just be about looking...

Thinking about getting married tomorrow, she felt a little distracted.

"Did you understand, young lady?"

Lin Yunwan couldn't bear to watch any longer, but she couldn't ignore it, so she lowered her head and said, "I understand. Please stop talking!"

Young women in their boudoirs are all shy.

Nanny Fan closed the "Fire-Avoidance Picture" and said with a smile, "That's all I have to say. Think it over yourself, young lady."

They stuffed the things under her pillow.

Lin Yunwan couldn't stay any longer.

"Granny, I'm going out to check how the dowry is being prepared."

Nanny Fan smiled knowingly and said, "Go ahead, young lady!"

As soon as Lin Yunwan went outside, she saw Cuiqin and asked her a question.

Cuiqin said, "Almost... almost done."

She had overheard some of it, Lin Yunwan didn't say anything. After all, they were her personal maids; it wouldn't do for them to be completely ignorant.

"I'll go take a look."

Lin Yunwan was startled when she walked into the Courtyard of the Bixi Hall.

She knew her dowry was large, but she never imagined it would amount to so much when displayed in the Courtyard!

They were all packed in baskets tied with bright red silk cloth, and placed one basket after another in the Courtyard.

Items that couldn't be carried on a carrying pole, such as screens and chairs, were tied with red silk cloth with floral patterns, clearly indicating they were part of the girl's dowry.

Xiruo came over and said, "Miss, those are the betrothal gifts from the Prince's mansion, those are from the Former Madam's dowry, those are the chests that relatives and friends have kept, and those are Prince gave you when you first came back..."

The sheer variety is overwhelming.

Looking at the people coming and going, Lin Yunwan asked, "Have all the people in the manor come here to see me?"

Xiruo said, "The Old Madam also had the Eldest Madam send people over to help."

Otherwise, we really wouldn't be able to handle it all.

Lin Yunwan said calmly, "... There aren't many people helping the Second Miss."

Cuiqin stepped forward and said, "This servant has gone to check, there are only five people."

Because Lin Yunjiao's dowry was small, she didn't need many people.

So even though she's about to get married, she's still throwing a tantrum in her room.

"Is this all the dowry? How could it be so little!"

She was really furious.

Zheng Shi wanted to rush over to comfort her daughter, but fearing others might overhear, she said anxiously, "Have you forgotten what your mother told you?"

Lin Yunjiao cried, "I don't care if the dowry is less, but why do you and Father want me to give her all my original things?"

Because those belonged to the Su Shi!

What if Su Shi's daughter is getting married and they don't return the Yun Wan?

"My Jiao'er, stop fooling around. Nanny Fan will come over soon to tell you about a woman's wedding night; you'll get everything you want..."

Zheng Shi has to entertain guests today, so she really doesn't have time to talk to her daughter about such details.

Listen to your mother. Everything will be different after tomorrow!

Zheng Shi made a solemn vow.

When Nanny Fan arrived, she was also carrying something wrapped in cloth.

Lin Yunjiao wiped her face and went inside to talk with Nanny Fan.

Her face flushed with embarrassment upon hearing this.

That night, Old Madam Lin also couldn't sleep; the entire Lin Residence was brightly lit.

Lin Yunwan decided to take a nap.

Xiruo suppressed a yawn and said, "I'll wake you up to eat something in about an hour. We won't be eating or drinking anything tomorrow, and we won't be able to rest."

Lin Yunwan lay down, with the book "Fire-Avoidance Picture" under her pillow, which made her feel uneasy.

Only Xiruo put it at the bottom of the box did he finally sleep peacefully for a while.

When she woke up, it felt like only a blink of an eye, but Xiruo said she had slept for a full hour.

It's just as lively outside as it was during the day.

She heard people outside carrying her dowry.

"Is the young lady awake yet?"

An old woman and her maid came in to do her makeup.

The Old Madam also sent people from the Eldest Branch and Third Branches of the family to accompany Lin Yunwan, and they all said the same thing outside.

Xiruo went out to welcome them in.

Lin Yunwan up and bowed, but noticed that Zheng Shi was not among the crowd.

Even at this point, the Zheng Shi still hasn't made any move.

She didn't believe that Zheng Shi would be able to endure it.

The mere thought of handing over the Su Shi's assets to the Zheng Shi would be enough to cause her unbearable pain...

What exactly does the Zheng Shi intend to do?

"Eldest Aunt, Third Aunt."

Lin Yunwan then greeted the nanny and other relatives. Soon after, Eldest Madam Lin said, "Alright, hurry up and don't delay the young lady's makeup."

The nanny helped her sit in front of the mirror and applied bridal makeup to her.

His face was deathly pale, making it impossible to discern his original features.

Lin Yunwan had dressed like this in her past life, and even she found it frightening.

Looking in the mirror now, he suddenly understood Zheng Shi's plan!

"Young lady, the Prince has arrived to fetch his bride."

Qi Lingheng and the Wen family's welcoming party finally arrived after sitting from dawn until dusk.

The Matchmaker came in, laughing and shouting, "Bride, the auspicious hour is almost here!"

The crowd surrounded Lin Yunwan, saying, "Hurry to the front hall! The Old Madam Second Master, Second Madam are all waiting."

Lin Yunwan got up, her face still covered by the veil, and could see nothing.

Is this Zheng Shi's last chance?

If they miss this opportunity, the Zheng Shi will have nothing left.
