Chapter 107 Why are this girl's feet a little big?
The wedding day.
Jun Yinghuai wanted to see Zhai Muling, but was stopped at the door by the matchmaker.
“Your Highness,” the matchmaker said with a smile, “it is not good luck for the bride to see the groom before the wedding.”
"Your Highness, please return."
Jun Yinghuai looked into the house, hesitated for a long time, and then decided to listen to the matchmaker and not go in.
In their past life, they were entangled in a web of grudges and suffered greatly.
Throughout his life, he patiently followed these rules.
Just for good luck.
He instructed the matchmaker: "Remember, the chains on her feet can only be removed before she gets into the bridal sedan chair."
The matchmaker nodded. "Your Highness, rest assured, this old servant will take good care of the bride."
"Your Highness should also go and make preparations as soon as possible."
Jun Yinghuai left with his hands behind his back.
Today, I do have a lot to do.
His guards asked worriedly, "Your Highness, what should we do if Miss Zhai comes to cause trouble?"
Jun Yinghuai sneered and said, "I'm more afraid she won't come."
“I have prepared a special gift for her.”
……
Zhai Muling sat in front of the mirror, letting the matchmaker twist her face and apply makeup.
She wore a dazzling red brocade gown, embroidered with golden phoenixes, its intricate phoenix tail trailing behind her like a blazing fire, shimmering and radiant.
The matchmaker stood behind her and styled her hair.
"Young lady, you are truly beautiful. I have served so many brides, but I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you."
Zhai Muling's beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror.
Her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and her eyes, like pools of autumn water, were calm and undisturbed.
There was no joy befitting a newlywed.
The matchmaker was still chattering on and on.
"The wedding dress you are wearing was made by the best embroiderers in the Dragon Flame Kingdom at the request of His Highness the Crown Prince. They worked day and night to make it, and it suits you perfectly!"
"In this old servant's opinion, His Highness the Crown Prince holds you dear in his heart!"
"From now on, this young lady will surely enjoy great wealth and prosperity, and everything will go smoothly for her!"
Zhai Muling smiled faintly but did not answer.
She looked out at the sky through the window.
From this day forward, I will become a caged bird, a flower in a mirror... but what ordinary people see as wealth and glory.
A bitter smile crept across her lips, and a faint sorrow settled on her delicate brows.
A cat's meow came from outside the door.
[My sister is here after all!]
Upon hearing the inner voice, Zhai Muling's eyes welled up with emotion.
It's Rong'er!
Suppressing her excitement, she said to the matchmaker, "Granny, could you please go outside and shoo the cat away? What if it runs in and ruins this dress?"
The matchmaker hesitated for a moment before glancing at the chains on Zhai Muling's feet.
He then smiled and said, "Don't panic, young lady, this old servant will go right away."
She instructed Zizhu: "Keep a close eye on your young lady."
Zizhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Granny. My young lady doesn't know magic tricks. She can't just disappear into thin air, can she?"
The matchmaker then left with peace of mind and closed the door behind her.
Zhai Rongyu removed the invisibility talisman, and Zhai Muling, upon seeing her, stood up in surprise, "Rong'er!"
The chains on his feet rattled.
Zizhu was startled.
How could Miss Zhai perform magic tricks... she appeared as soon as she was told.
"elder sister!"
When Zhai Rongyu saw the chain on Zhai Muling's ankle, her brows immediately furrowed.
This yandere is just too perfect.
[The gold chain was arranged as soon as the person was captured.]
It's like a toad crawling on your foot; it doesn't bite, but it's still annoying.
She quickly walked to Zhai Muling's side, took her hand and looked her up and down, "Are you alright, sister?"
Did Jun Yinghuai bully you?
Zhai Muling shook her head.
She glanced at the window with some concern and lowered her voice, "Rong'er, have you gone to see Father and the others?"
Knowing that she was worried, Zhai Rongyu immediately told her about the situation in the prison.
"Don't worry, sister. Jun Yinghuai is a man of his word. He didn't do anything to Father and the others."
Zhai Muling finally felt relieved.
"Rong'er, this place is not safe to stay any longer, you should leave quickly."
She nudged Zhai Rongyu somewhat anxiously.
“His Highness the Crown Prince has promised me that as long as I marry him, he will ensure the safety of my father and brothers.”
"You must not take any risks for me."
Zhai Rong felt a pang of sympathy for Zhai Muling's self-sacrifice. She grasped Zhai Muling's hand and said with unwavering determination, "Sister, I will save Father, Brother, and you!"
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution."
She waved her hand to the left and right, and two invisibility talismans fell down with a thud.
Zizhu was startled again when she saw the two people appear out of nowhere.
On Zhai Rong's left stood Hua Ying, and on her right was an assassin who was tied up and gagged—the very same one from the prison.
"Rong'er, who are they?"
Zhai Muling's heart immediately began to pound wildly.
Rong'er seems to be even more capable than she imagined...
"Sister, change out of your wedding dress right now. Sister Huaying will take you away from the Crown Prince's residence."
Time was of the essence, so Zhai Rongyu didn't offer much explanation.
Hua Ying glanced indifferently at the bracelet on Zhai Rong's hand.
The master actually gave her the power to command the Moon Shadow Guards, so from now on, Miss Zhai will also be his master.
Zhai Rong stepped forward and said to Zhai Muling, "Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of things here."
"I will definitely make Jun Yinghuai release my father and brothers!"
Zhai Muling bit her lip and finally agreed.
Footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
The matchmaker's voice grew louder as she approached, "It's really strange, the cat just disappeared like that..."
The group quickly exchanged glances.
The matchmaker pushed open the door and entered.
She walked to the bronze mirror and saw that Zhai Muling had already put on her veil. She smiled and said, "This old servant went out for a while, and you couldn't wait for me, Miss?"
She looked Zhai Muling up and down, finding something strange.
"Why does the girl look a bit taller than before? And... she seems a bit more robust too?" She circled around Zhai Muling, "and also a bit more muscular?"
"What are you saying, Granny?"
Zizhu hurriedly said, "This dress is very elaborate. If Miss wears an outer robe, she will naturally look a bit bulky."
The matchmaker was still suspicious and made a move to lift the red veil.
Zhai Rong stepped forward, blocking Zhai Muling's path, and shouted, "Granny, you mustn't!"
"Once the red veil is put on, only the groom can lift it."
"Otherwise, that would be extremely unlucky!"
The matchmaker frowned at her, "Where did you come from, you little brat?"
Zhai Rongyu was now dressed as a servant, with two buns on her head, and her appearance was slightly disguised. Didn't she look just like a little girl?
Zizhu stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Granny, this is a maidservant that His Highness the Crown Prince just sent. He said he was worried that Miss was hungry, so he specially brought some food for her."
She pointed not far away.
The matchmaker turned around and saw a food box on the table.
He glanced again at the chain on Zhai Muling's ankle; it was still securely locked.
They had no doubts for a moment.
The sound of firecrackers came from outside the door.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "The auspicious time has arrived, young lady, please come in."
She stepped forward and unlocked the chains on Zhai Muling's feet, and the suspicions she had just suppressed resurfaced.
Why are this girl's feet a bit big...?
Zizhu helped Zhai Muling to her feet and they walked towards the bridal sedan chair at the door.
When the matchmaker saw her back, her gaze became scrutinizing.
Just as she was about to step forward, Zhai Rongyu swiftly grabbed her and pulled her aside.
She lowered her voice and said, "Granny, you may not know, but besides bringing food, I have something even more important to tell you!"
The matchmaker frowned and leaned closer.
"what's up?"
