Yu'er only heard the two words "Madam Qiao" from "busy", and didn't care about anything else as she slipped away and went to find Madam Qiao. In those years, everything in the world was changing, but Yu'er's personality was still the same as always. Yun Qiu chuckled, then went back to embroidery.

No matter what, she was going to get married, and no matter what happened in the future, it would be like what she said to Yu'er earlier, she had to prepare for this wedding. At least she had to make the wedding dress up for herself. She would not have expected Madam Rong to take care of everything for her.

Because the pattern was complex and colorful, the outline of the needle and thread became a little harder to make. Her hands were slender and fair, but not soft and delicate; they could only carefully and skillfully roll back and forth on the embroidery, little by little outlining the beautiful patterns.

It was almost noon, but the drizzling rain did not seem to have any intention of stopping. From time to time, a cold breeze would blow past gently, blowing up Yun Qiu's fine hair that was hanging down, and a thin and soft muslin cloth that was embroidered at the side. It was a cloudy and drizzly day, yet it was so white that it gave off the feeling of tranquility and peace.

Since he could not grasp the unknown, it was a good thing for him to let nature take its course. Moreover, if that person wasn't a good person, she wouldn't accept her fate just like that. She had the ability to not accept her fate. After all, this was his entire life. Under the light of the lanterns, within the quiet pavilion.

When Madam Qiao entered the room while carrying the dishes lightly, Yun Qiu was in the midst of working under the lamp with needle and thread while both her eyes and hands were working together meticulously.

Then, he walked around the table and came to Yun Qiu's side and pulled out the embroidery in Yun Qiu's hands and scolded him: "Miss, the sky has already darkened for a long time, why are you still embroidering these? Miss, you are the master, so you should leave all this work for me and the Yu'er to do."

Yun Qiu was not annoyed by her words, she only laughed and explained, "Madam Qiao, Second sister is getting married."

It was a sentence without any beginning or end, if it was anyone else, they would not know what Yun Qiu meant. However, Madam Qiao had watched Yun Qiu grow up, so their tacit understanding did not need to be said. Furthermore, Madam Qiao was a smart person, she had previously heard that the second young miss of the Yun Family was talking to the first young master of the Ning Family about marriage. Now that Yun Qiu said it this way, she understood her meaning.

Duke Hou's family cared the most about the order of the young. Even if the young miss's status at home was different from before, she was after all, the eldest miss of the Hou Mansion, so she should have gotten married earlier than the second young miss.

After an instant of pause, Madam Qiao continued indifferently, "What does Miss intend to do?"

"Nothing, just let it be." Yun Qiu still maintained her smiling appearance, but her eyes that looked at Madam Qiao now had more adoration and warmth. She paused for a moment, then continued: "However, if I were to be married, I will definitely bring you along, Madam Qiao need not worry."

Madam Qiao sat down on the low stool beside Yun Qiu, and thought for a moment before looking at Yun Qiu. Her face no longer had the usual easiness, only seriousness and caution, she looked steadily and slowly and said: "Miss, if you want to follow that woman's instructions, this old servant does not have any objections, but, Miss must agree to this old servant. If our future days are not good, we must leave."

As she said that, she caressed the hair on Yun Qiu's head lightly, as if she was a child, "Ever since Madam passed away, Miss has not had a good day. No matter what, I can't let you make yourself feel wronged again, otherwise, when this old servant comes to the Underworld a hundred years from now, I won't have the face to see Madam again."

A single teardrop rolled down from Madam Qiao's face and onto the back of Yun Qiu's hand.

Yun Qiu withdrew his expression, looked at the visibly aged Madam Qiao, and solemnly replied: "Okay, Madam Qiao, this Qiu'er agrees to it, and this is what I had originally thought as well."

Madam Qiao quickly controlled her emotions, and carefully wiped away the remaining tears on her face with her sleeve, then stood up and said: "Miss, don't bother embroidering anymore, after all, you are Loyal Marquis's daughter, and Master loves face, this will definitely not be small, so naturally time will not be short. "Let's take a rest now. It's getting late."

Yun Qiu stopped what she was doing, raised her head and looked at Madam Qiao, whose face was filled with love and worry, then obediently said: "Yes, Madam Qiao, you should go to sleep as well."

Madam Qiao let out a light sigh. Looking at the unfinished wedding dress in Yun Qiu's hands, she opened her mouth wanting to say something but after pausing for a moment, she said nothing and could only respectfully bow and leave.

The room was as quiet as it was before. Yun Qiu waited until Madam Qiao was far away before she picked up the bridal dress and started embroidering again.

Born in Hou Mansion, after spending so many years together, her understanding of the Mrs. Rong s far exceeded just a little. His father never liked his mother to begin with, and the Mrs. Rong had always doted on her childhood sweethearts. Therefore, whether it was before or after, her and Yun Dong's situation did not change much.

Now that the Mrs. Rong had become even more powerful, she naturally had to be completely prepared. At this moment, anything could happen.

Perhaps, the unmarried woman from before would become a married woman in the next moment. In any case, this was her only marriage. Since there was no marriage that her daughters desired, she would do her best to be the beautiful bride.

After all, this was a lifelong matter.

The rain was drizzling and the only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the rain. One lamp was like a bean, and as the flame flickered, it illuminated this part of the world.

The night was getting darker.

Maybe it was because the Loyal Marquis's position in the court was just as empty as his power. The manor that was bestowed by the Emperor was rather remote from the outside world, even though it was indeed very imposing. Of course, there were other rumors about the location of the residence in the Loyal Marquis Palace. It was said that the title of Loyal Marquis was passed down from generation to generation, and that it was obtained when the Fire Cloud Nation was first established.

The Yun Family's ancestor was originally a rather famous cook. At that time, war and chaos broke out everywhere and the men were all dragged to war. Even the Yun Family's ancestor who was the chef was unavoidably captured and made strong. At that time, the Fire Cloud Country was still just the territory of a noble king, and the founding emperor was just a noble king. He could be considered a rather prestigious hero in this chaotic world.

At that time, the King of Kingdoms would bring a group of trusted aides to conquer the world. Just as there was a decisive battle that concerned the stronghold's territory, the founder of the Kingdom once again led the army to raise the morale, arriving at the camp where the Yun Family Ancestor was.

Although the Yun Family Ancestor was a cook, it was said that he was brave and fearless. There was a lack of cooks in the army camp, so logically speaking, the Yun Family Ancestor could find a safe and easy job to do three meals a day for the soldiers. However, the Yun Family Ancestor was different from the others. He went the other way, concealing his identity as a chef, and only acted as an ordinary soldier on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
