Yu'er only heard the two words "Mrs Qiao" and didn't care about anything else as she slipped away to find Mrs Qiao. In those years, the world had changed, but Yu'er's straightforward personality was still the same as ever. Yun Qiu laughed lightly for a while before going to embroider the embroidery on her hands.
After all, he was about to get married. No matter what happened in the future, this dowry would have to be prepared just like what she said to Yu'er earlier. 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 patterns were complex and colorful, the outline of the needle and thread became a bit harder to draw. Her hands were slender and fair, but they were not soft. They carefully and skillfully moved back and forth on the embroidery, little by little outlining the beautiful patterns.
It was almost noon, but the drizzle didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Occasionally, there would be a slight breeze that gently blew past, blowing away the fine hair of the clouds and autumn, and a thin, thin, 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 Mrs Qiao carried the dishes in, Cloudy Autumn was walking under the lights with needles in her hands, meticulous.
Lightly pushing open the door and entering the room, Mrs Qiao placed the dishes on the table and walked around the table to Yun Qiu's side. Without saying anything, she took away the embroidery in Yun Qiu's hands and scolded, "Miss, the sky has already darkened for a long time. Why are you still embroidering these things?
Yun Qiu wasn't annoyed by these words and explained with a smile, "Ma Qiao, second sister is getting married."
If it were anyone else, they would not have known what Yun Qiu's words meant. However, Mrs Qiao had watched Yun Qiu grow up, so their tacit understanding needed to be mentioned. Moreover, Mrs Qiao was a shrewd person. She had previously heard that the Yun Family's Second Miss and the Ning Family's Eldest Young Master were engaged. Now that she heard Yun Qiu's words, she understood what she meant by it.
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 still the eldest young miss of the house and should be married before the second young miss.
After a short pause, Mrs Qiao continued lightly: "What does Miss intend to do?"
"Nothing, just let it be." Yun Qiu was still smiling merrily, but his eyes were warm and filled with adoration when he looked at Mrs Qiao. She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, if I were to get married, I will definitely bring you along. Mrs Qiao need not worry."
She thought for a moment before looking at Yun Qiu, her face no longer having the usual easiness, only seriousness and caution. She looked at him steadily and slowly and said, "Miss, if you want to follow that woman's instructions and leave the pavilion, this old servant can have no objections. However, Miss must promise this old servant that if our days in the future are not good, we must leave."
With that, she lifted her hand to caress the hair on Yun Qiu's head, gently stroking it just like how she did when she was young, "Miss, ever since you passed away, you haven't had a good day. This time, you can't let yourself be wronged, otherwise, this old servant won't have the face to see Madam again when I arrive in the Underworld a hundred years from now."
A teardrop rolled down from Mama Qiao's face and fell onto the back of Yun Qiu's hand.
Yunqiu's expression changed, looking at Mrs Qiao whose age was already visible, she solemnly replied, "Alright, Mrs Qiao, Qiu Er will agree with you, and I was thinking the same thing."
She carefully wiped the remaining tears off her face with her sleeve and got up to say: "Miss, don't embroider anymore, after all, you're the marquis of loyalty and courage who married off his daughter, and the lord loves face, this kind of scene is definitely not small, so time is naturally not tight. "Let's take a rest now. It's getting late."
Yun Qiu obeyed and put down his work. He raised his head to look at Mrs Qiao's caring and worried face and obediently said, "Yes, Mrs Qiao, you should also go to sleep early."
Mrs Qiao sighed lightly, 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 did not say anything and could only respectfully bow and leave.
The room was as quiet as it was before. Yun Qiu waited until Mrs Qiao was far away before picking up the bridal dress again to seriously embroider.
Born in the house of the Marquis, she knew more than a little about the Rong family after all these years. His father had never liked his mother, but he had always doted on his childhood sweetheart, the Rong family. Therefore, her and Yun Dong's situation didn't change much, whether it was before or after.
Now that the Rong family 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.
Perhaps it was because the Marquis of Loyalty's position in the court was 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 ways of speaking about the location of the manor. It was said that the title of Marquis was passed down from the ancestors, and that it was obtained when the Fire Cloud Country was founded.
The Yun Family's ancestor was originally a famous chef. Back then, war and chaos broke out, and the men all went to war. Even the Yun Family's ancestor, who was the chef, was captured and brought back to war. 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. In the final battle for the stronghold, the founder of the kingdom once again led the army to raise the morale before arriving at the Yun clan's patriarch's camp.
Although the Yun Family's ancestor was a cook, it was said that he was brave and fearless. There was a lack of cooks in the army camp, and logically, the Yun Family could find a safe and easy job to cook three meals a day for the soldiers. However, the Yun Family Ancestor was different from the masses. He went in the opposite direction and concealed his identity as a chef, as he only acted as a common soldier who killed his enemies on the battlefield to gain merits.
