The Wedding Procession

"Girl, watch your step."

Xiruo helped Lin Yunwan out, where the Matchmaker was standing.

Outside, there was the sound of gongs and drums. Lin Yunwan felt that she was getting closer and closer to the Second Gate. After passing through the Through Hall and exiting the Second Gate, she would go to the main hall in the Front Courtyard to bid farewell to her parents and the Old Madam. Then she would leave with the Prince.

"Miss, the Second Miss has arrived too!"

Xiruo said in a low voice.

Lin Yunwan said, "If a woman is to get married at dusk, of course she also needs to be on time."

Two Matchmakers led the way, saying auspicious words as they walked.

As they approached the Through Hall, Lin Yunwan slowed her pace slightly.

"Xiruo, can you smell anything?"

Xiruo sniffed, shook her head, and said, "No."

But she noticed something else, "Miss, the Second Miss's attire... seems to be the same as yours."

Lin Yunwan didn't understand. "What do you mean, the same?"

It's not strange that Xiruo mentioning.

Xiruo, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and paid close attention to people's figures, said, "Second Miss is not as tall as you, but now, wearing her wedding dress and veil, she is the same height as you. It's impossible to tell the difference!"

After thinking it through Lin Yunwan smiled and said, "That's good that you can't tell."

She asked Xiruo, "Are we almost at the Through Hall?"

"It's just ahead."

Lin Yunwan said in a low voice, "Although the Old Madam is here... we should still be careful."

"Yes."

Xiruo supported Lin Yunwan, becoming increasingly cautious.

As they walked through the Through Hall, with the Matchmaker in front, Lin Yunwan stepped inside, and the hall burst into flames!

"Let's go, let's go!"

The maid shouted.

A red carpet was laid in the Through Hall, and there was a strong smell of pine resin.

The fire quickly spread along the red carpet, startling the two Matchmakers and the inexperienced maids into a panic.

"Put out the fire! What are you all standing around for?! Put out the fire!"

Suddenly, Nanny Fan appeared out of nowhere and directed the people in the Through Hall to put out the fire.

The two Matchmakers were also encountering this situation for the first time, and they stared at each other in bewilderment.

Xiruo helped Lin Yunwan.

She said with a serious expression, "Young lady, please follow me out first."

They were afraid that the fire inside would burn Lin Yunwan's wedding dress.

"Xiruo, we can't back down now."

Lin Yunwan sneered, "Madam just wants to take advantage of the chaos to send the Second Miss away first, so she can replace me and bid farewell to our parents with the Prince. By then, it will be too late to take her back!"

"Ah?"

Xiruo glared at her. Madam could Madam have come up with such a thing!

If the Prince finds out about this terrible idea...

Sure enough, amidst the chaos, someone was seen helping the Second Miss through!

Xiruo grew anxious. "Miss, something's wrong! The Second Miss wants to go first!"

Although it was a terrible idea, if Zheng Shi actually succeeded in doing it, it would be a real problem.

With the fire separating them, the people in the front hall had no idea that the bride had been replaced.

"Don't rush."

Lin Yunwan wasn't afraid; this kind of terrible idea had too many flaws.

"Seize the Second Miss's Matchmaker; without Matchmaker, let's see how she gets through this."

Xiruo hummed in agreement, but before she could make a move, Nanny Fan arrived with a group of people, all carrying supplies. In the blink of an eye, they extinguished the fire.

"Miss, Nanny Fan is here!"

Lin Yunwan heard the sound and noticed that the smell outside had changed.

The fire has been extinguished.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except for Nanny Fan was dumbfounded.

She hasn't even sent the Second Miss away yet!

Nanny Fan ignored her and walked up to Lin Yunwan, saying, "Young Miss, the auspicious time is almost here, you should hurry over!"

"Well!"

Nanny Fan panicked and said, "This... this red carpet is all burnt! Girl, don't get your clothes dirty!"

Nanny Fan coldly looked at her and said, "Whether they're dirty or not, the eldest young lady should go first. We can't keep the Prince waiting."

Someone came up behind her and laid out a clean red carpet again.

Xiruo helped Lin Yunwan step onto the new red carpet, and together with the Matchmaker, they walked out of the Through Hall, leaving all the chaos behind.

Nanny Fan was completely frozen.

This is the second thing she's messed up!

If the Madam finds out, she'll skin her alive.

Nanny Fan urged the Matchmaker, "Why haven't you seen the Second Miss out to bid farewell to her parents yet?"

Lin Yunjiao's Matchmaker finally came to her senses and left with Lin Yunjiao.

Nanny Fan went to meet Nanny Fan. She smiled; people with dimples on their faces are always very approachable.

Nanny Fan was too frightened to move.

"Nanny Fan..."

The fact that she could resolve a fire so quickly shows that Nanny Fan knew everything!

"Granny, you... you..."

How did you know?

Nanny Fan said calmly, "Go tell the Second Madam Second Madam that if she can do dirty things in the Eldest Branch's Flower Garden, why can't others do the same in her own residence?"

Nanny Fan opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

In other words, the Old Madam knew about the Second Madam's conspiracy from the very beginning! And she knew everything!

The Second Madam is doomed!

The main hall in the Front Courtyard.

Xiruo helped Lin Yunwan over to bid farewell to her parents and the Old Madam.

Sitting in front, Zheng Shi was filled with anxiety. She clutched her handkerchief, forcing a smile onto her face.

This is a one-time thing. Once everything is settled, there's nothing anyone can do!

The position of Prince Huan Consort belongs to her Jiao'er, and all the dowry belongs to her Jiao'er as well. Let the stepdaughter go to the Wen family and live a hard life!

"Get up, everyone!"

Old Madam Lin urged Qi Lingheng and Lin Yunwan to get up.

That's Prince Huan after all, how can we bow to them so much?

The Matchmaker helped Lin Yunwan to her feet. Following the sound, she walked to Old Madam Lin, curtsied, and took her leave.

"Old Madam, thank you..."

Although the Old Madam of the Lin family put the family first and had her own selfish motives, Old Madam also helped her a lot.

She remembered this kindness.

Old Madam Lin smiled with satisfaction, "Good child, just come back and visit this Matron more often in the future."

"Yes, I will."

The two whispered to each other, while outside, gongs and drums resounded and firecrackers popped incessantly, so no one else could hear what they were saying.

But Zheng Shi was stunned.

Yun Jiao would never speak to the Old Madam alone!

"This..."

This shouldn't be happening!

Could it be that the child under the veil isn't her Jiao'er?

What are you doing?

Zheng Shi stood up, Lin Huabin pulled her along. Zheng Shi was stunned.

The Matchmaker was already urging the bride to "go out," and she led Lin Yunwan away. Outside, gongs and drums cleared the way, and the eldest grandson of the Eldest Branch carried Lin Yunwan out of the house and into the Grand Bridal Sedan.

Lin Yunjiao also came with the Matchmaker.

Upon hearing a soft, tearful "Mother," Zheng Shi almost dropped her teacup...

This is truly her Jiao'er!

What on earth is going on?!

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Huabin took the teacup, patted Zheng Shi's wrist, and scolded her unhappily, "With so many relatives watching, the child is serving you tea!"

Like a walking corpse, Zheng Shi drank the tea and forgot to say anything. Watching her daughter leave, she ran back to find Nanny Fan.

But instead of her, it was Nanny Fan for her.

"Second Madam, let's go see the Old Madam!"
