On the day before the wedding, the boss of the clothing store in the west of the capital, Mo Liniang, led ten embroidery ladies, ten waiters, and a total of twenty people.
Xiao Rou couldn't wait to get people to open it. When she saw the beautiful fiery red wedding dress in front of her, her eyes immediately lit up. She couldn't hide the joy on her face as she happily said:
"The clothing shop in the west of Beijing is indeed the number one shop in the capital. This wedding dress is really pleasing to my heart as it adds extra flowers to my wedding. Boss Mo, this princess is very satisfied."
Mo Liniang nodded her head and smiled, "The princess' body is made of gold. Satisfying the princess is a duty of our shop. My shop's embroidery lady does not dare to neglect her role.
"Princess, you can rest assured that you won't be able to find a second piece of the wedding dress in the capital. Tomorrow, the princess will wear this wedding dress and leave the capital. This is the greatest glory of our Jingxi Pu Zi."
When Xiao Rou heard Mo Liniang's words, she felt that they were quite useful, so she immediately ordered someone to bring gold and silver over to reward her. The Xiao family only had Xiao Rou as their young miss, and her food and clothing had always been the best.
Princess, in order to make the wedding dress look more luxurious and unique, the work here is quite complicated. There are more than ten buttons on the lapels of the gown, and the buttons are made from pure gold, so I would like to leave an embroidery lady behind. When the princess changes her wedding dress tomorrow, she can help by the side, so as to not delay your changing clothes and to delay your good hours. Molina said after thanking him for the reward.
"Then which embroidery lady does Boss Mo intend to keep?" Xiao Rou asked.
"Come here." Mo Liniang let an embroidery lady who was standing at the back walk out. "She's in charge of all the buttons on the wedding dress. Let her stay and help."
Xiao Rou's usual haughty gaze swept over the embroidery lady with her head lowered. She asked, "What is your name?"
The embroidery lady slowly raised her head and looked at Mo Liniang hesitantly. Mo Liniang quickly said,
"Princess, this Embroidery lady is very clever and dexterous. Her embroidery work in my West Beijing Store is excellent. Unfortunately, she has never been able to speak since she was young."
Xiao Rou nodded and said, "So that's how it is. Boss Mo has thought it through carefully. Pure silver, lead this embroidery lady to rest. Tomorrow, we will reward the wedding silver."
Mo Liniang looked deeply into the eyes of the embroidery lady. Her gaze slowly shifted to her feet. The long green skirt cleverly covered up all the specially made high and low shoes, making it impossible to see anything.
She said, "If you stay at the Xiao Estate to help out, remember to be careful and not displease the princess. Do you understand?"
The embroidery lady kneeled down and nodded her head slightly …
"You can go. Tomorrow, after the princess marries, the shop assistant will come to pick you up." Molina said.
"…" She nodded again.
"Xiu Niang, this way please. Please rest in Miss's side hall." Pure silver said to the embroidery lady.
Xiu Niang nodded. When she walked out of Xiao Rou's room, the corner of her mouth slowly revealed a sneer — —
On this day, Xiao He also gave Xiao Rou a surprise — an aluminum artificial limb.
"Second brother, what is this?" Xiao Rou took a rough look and asked in confusion.
"You are about to get married. Second Brother always feels that you are not lacking in gold and silver, so I should give you what you need the most.
So, a few days ago, you got someone to make a prosthetic limb based on the size and thickness of your calf, and you dug a hole here with buttons and buckled your knee with a strap and buttons so you could walk on your own crutches.
If you didn't move around normally and wore pants and a skirt, no one would be able to tell that you had a problem with your calves.
Moreover, if you wear it for a long time and walk skillfully, you might be able to throw away your walking stick. Xiao He said.
"Really? Great! Second Brother, you're being considerate to me! " When Xiao Rou saw this prosthetic leg, she almost cried tears of joy. The greatest flaw in her life was this leg!
"You guys try tying the little miss up." Xiao He instructed the person beside him.
"Yes, Second Young Master." A few maidservants squatted on the ground and, according to Xiao He's instructions, placed the meticulously crafted prosthetic arm onto Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou slowly helped the maidservant to stand up and tried it out. As expected, she steadied her body and was able to walk two steps forward slowly.
She was extremely surprised and could not help but say happily, "Second Brother, this is really my best wedding present. Little Sister, thank you so much. Thank you so much."
"This is all that second brother can do. I hope that you will be careful when you arrive at the Duke of Yue's estate. You should be careful with what you say." Xiao He was well aware of his little sister's personality, so he reminded her in an elder brother's tone. As a man, he also knew that there were too many things mixed in with the marriage of His Highness the Fourth Prince that were not pure —
Although he'd always performed so well that he didn't have anything to say, it wasn't that Xiao He couldn't feel the cold and indifferent gaze he occasionally emitted.
Xiao Rou said, "Second brother, you treat me so well. Don't worry. Since little sister is married, she will always think for her husband."
"You still have to think for the Xiao family. No matter where you are, you must remember that you are a member of the Xiao family." Xiao He warned.
"Yes, I am a member of the Xiao family. I will always remember it." Xiao Rou was truly happy. She lowered her head and looked at her prosthetic arm, but the smile on her face disappeared. Instead, it was filled with resentment as she said,
"But, Second Brother, I still have one last breath left in me! If that bitch Liuyue hadn't harmed me back then, why would I be here today? In addition, the fourth prince had suffered miserably because of her. Time and time again, she had made the fourth prince more and more passive in front of the emperor! I can't help it.
Second brother, you promised your sister that if you ever get the chance to kill a slut in the future, you must not be soft-hearted. You must torture her, kill her, and avenge me and the Fourth Prince, okay? "You are the elder brother who loves me the most. You will definitely promise me that, right?"
Xiao Rou's ardent gaze looked at Xiao He, and Xiao He's gaze slightly paused. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Tomorrow is your wedding day, so stop thinking about such unhappy things. Prepare to get married, and be happy."
"Yes, I know, Second Brother. I just cannot stand to see a slut like her. If anyone were to give me her head, it would definitely be the biggest congratulatory gift ever. " Xiao Rou said hatefully.
"Rest." Xiao He pursed his lips and smiled, then walked out of Xiao Rou's room. He stood at the door to her room for a while, and gradually, a complicated expression was revealed within his gaze.
A while later, Madam Xiao also came and told Xiao Rou a few words about herself and her mother.
Indeed, it was useful for Mo Liniang to keep the mute embroidery lady. When she changed into her bridal clothing this morning, it was necessary for her to point out how she was going to dress. She even wrote down instructions for her husband to untie his wedding dress.
