The mother and daughter had a few words last night and went to bed late. However, Lady Jing'an couldn't sleep because she was thinking about her daughter's wedding today. Jiang Xuelin waited for her to fall asleep and kept herself awake with her eyes closed. So, she finally fell asleep around midnight.
All told, she had only slept for a little over an hour.
But she hasn't run away yet!
At this moment, the entire Jing'an Marquis's mansion was in full swing. Yesterday, Aunt An from the An family stayed in the guest room of the mansion. She came over early in the morning to prepare to make Jiang Xuelin's face. After that, she would have to change into an elaborate and gorgeous wedding dress. After her makeup was done, she would put on a phoenix crown and a red veil, and then wait in her boudoir.
Each of these tasks takes a lot of time, so it's no wonder that the bride has to be woken up early on the wedding day to get ready, since missing the auspicious time is considered unlucky.
The person responsible for performing facial hair removal on a bride is considered a person of great fortune, with many children and blessings. This means that the bride's parents and in-laws are still alive, the couple is harmonious, and the children are filial. Generally, women would hire such a person to perform facial hair removal and eyebrow shaping before getting married.
Lady Jing'an was quickly dressed with the help of servants, and Jiang Xuelin was dressed as well with the help of Green Ivy. She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her aunt in front of her.
Madam An smiled, and inwardly sighed, "Our Lin'er has such a beautiful complexion, her face is so fair and clean, she doesn't really need facial threading, and her eyebrows only need a little trimming."
It's very easy.
Moreover, looking at her bright eyes, it's clear she's doing very well at home.
No, the fact that she lives a very good life at home is probably known to everyone in the capital. After all, who doesn't know how much the Marquis of Jing'an's family dotes on this precious daughter? They truly cherish her and make countless other girls envious.
Jiang Xuelin was manipulated like a wooden doll, letting her aunt from the An family twist and turn her face, trim her eyebrows, and clean her face before she finally put on her wedding dress.
This morning, many elders arrived at Jiang Xuelin's boudoir, which was rarely visited, leaving her no chance to escape. She was extremely anxious and finally managed to call over Hongluo, who was the best at martial arts, and secretly gave her some instructions. Then she was dragged away to continue her ordeal.
Hongluo was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a second, but still gritted her teeth and went to find her mother, the mute nanny.
The mother and daughter were rescued by the young lady, so they were naturally the most loyal to her. Since it was the young lady's order, although they didn't understand why the young lady would do this, they still let the mute nanny take the opportunity to leave the Marquis's mansion and go to the Prince Ping's mansion.
Jiang Xuelin's instructions were very simple.
Have the mute nanny keep an eye on the Prince Ping's residence to see if Fu Hanlai will run away from his marriage.
This was her last chance. While she sent the mute nanny to keep an eye on the Prince Ping's residence, she ate a few pastries and then began to be tormented.
As the bride today, Jiang Xuelin doesn't need to do anything else. After getting ready, she just needs to sit in her boudoir and wait for the groom's wedding procession to come and pick her up. In her boudoir, she will wear a red veil.
—What a great opportunity!
This is her last chance!
Once everyone was out of the room, Lady Jing'an and Jiang Xuelin's two sisters-in-law went to entertain the female guests who had come to visit that day. Only Jiang Xuelin's own people remained in the boudoir, and she was immediately delighted.
As the maids accompanying the bride today, Green Luo and the others were all to go to Prince Ping's residence. Seeing that Jiang Xuelin was making a move, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "Does Miss have any instructions?"
With the veil covering her face, Green Ivy couldn't see Jiang Xuelin's expression and had no way of guessing what was going on. The next moment, Jiang Xuelin suddenly lifted the veil off her head.
Green Ivy: "???"
Green ivy: "!!!"
girl!
This veil must not be lifted!
It has to wait until after they enter the bridal chamber, when the groom will use the wedding scale to open it!
Seeing that Green Luo looked horrified, Jiang Xuelin didn't seem to care and quickly began to take off her wedding dress.
Green Ivy had been with Jiang Xuelin for several years and knew her temperament, but this matter concerned the young lady's lifelong happiness, and she was afraid that it would bring bad luck and make the young lady's married life unhappy. However, watching Jiang Xuelin start to take off her clothes...
"...Young lady, what are you doing?"
Turning her head to look at the door, she saw that Qingluo, who also looked horrified, had already stood guard at the door. Green Luo lowered her voice and asked anxiously.
"What else can I do but run away from the marriage! If I don't run now, I'll really be stuck. Fu Hanlai hasn't made a move yet. He's probably just waiting for me to marry into the Prince Ping's mansion so he can use his status to deal with me. I can't marry into that family."
She knew perfectly well that Fu Hanlai was waiting for her to marry him so she could cause trouble, but she wasn't stupid!
She could guess what Fu Hanlai was thinking. She originally thought he would definitely not agree, but she didn't expect him to have this idea!
Even Jiang Xuelin had to admit that the world was not kind to women. She said that if she really married into the Pingwang Mansion, she would beat Fu Han every day, but that was the Pingwang Mansion, not the Jing'an Marquis Mansion!
Fu Hanlai is definitely just waiting for her to come to him, at which point she'll be left with no one to turn to.
She remembered exactly what that bastard Fu Hanlai said in the peach blossom grove that day, so that he wouldn't succeed!
Upon hearing this, Green Ivy was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Young lady! Today is the wedding day. The bridal sedan chair from Prince Ping's mansion will be arriving soon. What if something happens if you run away now?" You'll lose all your reputation then!
"I'm going to the border. I left a letter for my parents." Jiang Xuelin naturally knew all this. At worst, she could stay at the border for a few years, which was more comfortable than being in the capital. While quickly taking off her elaborate wedding dress, Jiang Xuelin persuaded Luoluo, "That day, Fu Hanlai said that if I married him, he would definitely lock me up at home. He would play with the servants and maids every day and would never enter my room. He would take a concubine after I turned thirty-five..."
After taking off her clothes, Jiang Xuelin stuffed the wedding dress into Luoluo's arms with a solemn expression.
"Green Ivy, you look alike with me. To prevent me from being discovered too early and being brought back, I'll trouble you to sit here in your wedding dress for now and buy some time. We'll tell my parents when it's time, and that I forced you to do it!"
After she finished speaking, Jiang Xuelin ran to the other side and found a set of men's clothing that was easy to wear from under the cabinet and changed into it.
Green Ivy never expected Fu Hanlai to say those things. Hearing this, she was unable to persuade him any further. However, she was trembling with fear. But Jiang Xuelin didn't give her a chance to choose. He stuffed the clothes into her arms, took a few silver notes, and slipped out the window.
Qingluo's face was also deathly pale. The two looked at each other and Qingluo quickly came over and helped Green Luo change her clothes with trembling hands.
Fearing someone might come over at this moment, Qingluo didn't have time to style Luoluo's hair into a nice bun. She simply tied her hair up and then covered it with a phoenix crown.
Hearing footsteps outside, Qingluo panicked and quickly grabbed the veil and shoved it over Luluo's head!
Just then, Fei Qing, the second daughter of the Yongchang Marquis's family, who was to marry the third prince as his second wife next month, entered, led by a maid.
Qingluo's heart was in her throat.
The second daughter of the Fei family has always been a meticulous and cautious person.
