Chapter 130 Cloud Feather CP Gong Shangjiao 7
"I don't know when I'll be able to come back this time, or even if our old house will still be there when I return."
"I hope Wufeng is in a better mood and doesn't burn the house down in anger just because he can't find us."
With a sigh, Zheng Zhongyi regained his composed and serious demeanor. "Let's go."
Soon, the last person entered the secret passage, and the Zheng residence was deserted.
Most of the gold and silver jewelry in Hunyuan Zheng Mansion had long been moved to a new address, while the rest was taken away by palace gatekeepers as part of the dowry.
The dowry and Zheng Nanyi did not arrive together, since the marriage selection was conducted in a low-key manner, and Zheng Nanyi's dowry was quite substantial.
They had no choice but to transport the dowry to the palace by water, which was slower, so the dowry was moved away a few days earlier.
The brides, dressed in their wedding gowns, were helped off the flower boat by their maids and walked up the steps to the palace gate.
It was probably because the guards who went to the Zheng family to fetch the brides reported that two assassins, a man and a woman, had infiltrated the Zheng family that the brides were able to enter the palace gates smoothly this time.
Upon entering the women's quarters, I was led by a maid to my assigned room.
The maid stopped and reminded her, "Miss Zheng, we've arrived. You may lift your veil now."
"Thank you." Zheng Nanyi slowly lifted the veil, lowered her eyes, and looked around only after her eyes adjusted to the light.
The house was simply and rusticly furnished, but it was fully equipped with all the necessary furniture.
This women's quarters must be used specifically for brides choosing their husbands. No one lives there normally, so it's not very lively and looks cold and deserted.
"Miss Zheng, if there's anything you need, please just let me know." The maid's attitude was quite respectful, as if she knew something inside the matter.
Zheng Nanyi blinked and guessed, "Were you sent by Mr. Gong Er?"
"Young Master Jiao has not yet returned to the palace, but he wrote a letter to Young Master Zheng, asking Young Master Zheng to select a maid from Jiao Palace to serve Miss Zheng."
The maids serving the brides in the guest quarters are all temporarily drawn from various places.
Therefore, it was quite easy for a palace maid to be stationed in the secluded corner to take care of Zheng Nanyi.
"What's your name?" Zheng Nanyi asked with a smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling as if they could speak.
"This servant is Fudong."
Fu Dong looked at Zheng Nanyi, who was all smiles. She had a gentle and quiet temperament, and her skin was as white as jade. Her red wedding dress made her look very beautiful.
Miss Zheng is the best bride in this selection, both in terms of family background and appearance. According to Mr. Zheng, Miss Zheng and Mr. Jiao are engaged.
This engagement couldn't have been arranged by Young Master Jiao himself; it could only have been arranged by the former Palace Master. With such a wife, Young Master Jiao should be happier, right?
"Knock knock." A knock sounded at the door. Fu Dong went to open the door and a maid stood in front of the door holding a bowl of medicine.
Fu Dong picked up the bowl and presented it to Zheng Nanyi, saying, "This is Angelica and Golden Herb Tea, which was developed by Young Master Zheng to resist the poisonous miasma in the valley."
"Hmm." Zheng Nanyi nodded, said nothing more, drank it all in one gulp, and handed the bowl back to Fu Dong.
Fu Dong placed the bowl back on the table held by the maid, glanced at the sky, and said, "This servant will go and tell someone to prepare water for Miss Zheng to bathe."
Dinner had already been eaten before boarding the flower boat, and there were two plates of snacks in the room.
Zheng Nanyi didn't touch it. She wasn't hungry, just sleepy. She went straight to bed after taking a bath.
Early in the morning, Zheng Nanyi woke up, and soon after, there was a soft knocking on the door, as if testing whether Zheng Nanyi was awake.
