Chapter 5, The Red Skirt Jealousy Kills the Pomegranate Flower

Xiao Bai looked at me, seemingly filled with a thousand words, yet unsure how to begin. It was as if an internal struggle had taken place, ultimately transforming into a faint sigh like a wisp of smoke

Just when I thought I would be crushed to death by beans and peanuts, these old women finally ran out of steam, finished singing the farewell song, and spared my life. "Please invite the groom to take his seat and start the banquet!" After the host shouted, I felt the raccoon beside me get up and leave, followed by a group of old women, eunuchs, and palace maids who also withdrew, leaving only the two little girls, Sprite and 7-Up, to accompany me. These two girls were so overjoyed to hear that they had been assigned by my father as my accompanying maids that they cried tears of joy. It seems that my usual image of being kind-hearted and approachable has truly resonated with people.

The moon waxes and wanes, and wanes and waxes. The Mid-Autumn Festival is gradually approaching without my noticing, and everyone in the residence is busily preparing for my wedding. The eunuchs and palace maids have also been frequently visiting the Yun residence, busy with the arrangements for the grand wedding. My father has also become busy; in addition to his usual state affairs, he has to deal with officials who come to offer their congratulations and gifts. The First Lady and my aunt are responsible for coming to my garden every day to teach me some court etiquette and wedding matters, but most of the time I find myself in a daze, listening and forgetting as I go.

In my childhood, regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, every weekend my father would ride his bicycle to promptly take me to the home of a music teacher at the Normal College, which was six kilometers away, for piano lessons. Each time I practiced new pieces intermittently, my mother would quietly listen by the side, her face reflecting encouragement and pride. After I choked to death on a ring, they must have been very sad, not knowing how Lin Cheng would explain to my family. Alas, I have even learned to sigh like Xiao Bai.

I turned away in anger. How could you, you little brat, care so much for a young girl? Not only do you dare to hold her hand, but you also want to put your arm around her shoulder. I had no idea what you were up to all this time. No wonder you have been ignoring me; it turns out you have forgotten your sister in the face of beauty, and you made me worry for so many days for nothing. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of grievance, and my nose tinged with bitterness as tears fell down.

On that day, I merely gave my aunt's little maid, Cuihua, a gentle pinch on her bottom. Little did I know that Cuihua would cry and complain to my aunt, demanding that she take her side. My aunt, furious, immediately called for Xiaobai to reprimand him.

Since the "Face-Changing Incident," Xiaobai has been accompanying me every day, and the duration is increasing. However, he often gazes at me with a furrowed brow and a melancholic expression, seemingly unaware of it. I try to make him laugh with jokes, but it fails to bring him joy; although he chuckles lightly, it cannot conceal the sorrow etched on his brow, and the smile no longer reaches his eyes.

Indeed, I feel a sense of sadness, after all, I have been in close proximity with Xiaobai for ten years as siblings, and now I must leave, which inevitably brings a touch of melancholy. I am a person who is rather carefree, yet during my ten years living with the Yun family, they have shown me great care and affection, and I have developed a deep-seated bond of kinship with them. If I were to defy the imperial decree and flee from marriage, it would likely bring disaster upon the Yun family, akin to a massacre. I cannot allow my momentary whim to destroy the lives of hundreds within the Yun family. Although the intrigues of the inner palace are unpredictable, given the Yun family's influence and the emperor's betrothal, it is unlikely that they could do anything to me in the short term. After all, time is on my side, and everything can be considered in due course.

Lift your veil, let me see your eyes, your eyes... Ah! Whose eyes are those looking at me playfully from beneath the veil?

Fang Wanyong eagerly took the score and sketches from me and left. The next day, he had completed the mechanism inside the music box. After winding it up and giving it a try, I heard a flowing fragment of "Für Elise" gently emerge. At that time, I racked my brain trying to decide which piece of music to use. In the end, I settled on choosing between "The Swan's Death" from "Swan Lake" and "Für Elise." Although I preferred "The Swan's Death," I thought it might not be auspicious, so I opted for "Für Elise." At that time, I racked my brain trying to decide which piece of music to use. In the end, I settled on choosing between "The Swan's Death" from "Swan Lake" and "Für Elise." Although I preferred "The Swan's Death," I thought it might not be auspicious, so I opted for "Für Elise."

How dare you give me orders! While I grumbled internally, I resentfully walked over, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea. I cursed under my breath, thinking, "I won't let you off easily," as I lifted the teacup to hand it to him. However, the teacup was scalding hot from the boiling tea, and I flinched from the burn. My hand slipped, and the teacup shattered on the floor. Xiao Bai rushed over in a flash, grabbing my hand and blowing on it while rubbing it, his eyes filled with concern and guilt.

Early in the morning, before I was fully awake, Qixi had half coaxed and half urged me out of bed, attending to my washing and meals, yet she did not comb my hair. According to the customs of Xiangze Country, on the day of the grand wedding, it is essential for the bride's mother to style her hair in order to bless the bride with a future of happiness and fulfillment. My poor mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me, and I suspect that today it will be the esteemed lady who comes to style my hair. Just after finishing breakfast, I heard the maid outside lifting the curtain to announce that the palace had sent eunuchs and palace maids with cosmetics and jewelry, which is known as "urging the bride's makeup." I instructed Xuebi to accept the bridal gifts and rewarded the palace maids and eunuchs, then sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for someone to style my hair. In a daze, a pair of warm hands rested on my shoulders. I looked up into the mirror and saw my father standing behind me, one hand on my shoulder and the other gently caressing my hair. "Rong'er has grown up; in the blink of an eye, she is about to marry..."

Well, I admit that the days without Xiaobai are quite lonely, just like a cat that has left the mouse, like a bank without robbers, like a prison that does not confine prisoners, life suddenly loses its joy. If the mountain does not come to me, I must go to the mountain.

As I walked up to him, he was about to stand up. Upon seeing me approach, he initially glanced at me indifferently before sitting back down. After two seconds, he suddenly looked up at me with a mix of joy and confusion, which made me think he recognized me. However, in an instant, he returned to his neutral expression, pointed to the teapot brewing on the small stove beside him, and said: "I am thirsty, could you please pour me a cup of tea, Xiaoyue" After two seconds, he suddenly looked up at me with a mix of joy and confusion, which made me think he recognized me. However, in an instant, he returned to his neutral expression, pointed to the teapot brewing on the small stove beside him, and said: "I am thirsty, could you please pour me a cup of tea, Xiaoyue"

Before leaving, I wanted to leave some souvenirs for my family, so I worked day and night to embroider a cross-stitch Snoopy pillow as a gift for my grandfather to place in his study. I told my grandfather that this Snoopy is a protective spirit, and placing it on the chair to lean against can relieve back pain and also bless him. Such a stoic person as my grandfather actually had a glimmer of moisture in his eyes upon receiving the gift

"Brother, please do not ignore Rong'er in the future. Rong'er promises not to tease the little girls anymore." For some reason, I felt a bit afraid of what Xiao Bai would say next, so I interrupted and cut him off.

"Silly girl, a woman should marry when she comes of age, especially someone as beautiful as Rong'er. There is no reason to spend a lifetime accompanying her father." Father picked up the comb from the table and carefully styled my hair, his solemn expression seeming to cherish a fragile porcelain piece. What usually takes two minutes to complete felt today as long as a lifetime.

"Rong'er would rather spend her whole life accompanying father; Rong'er does not wish to marry." I leaned back against father's strong arms with a touch of sadness.

In the past, I never realized that the journey from my garden to the gate was such a long one. My father held my hand, and we slowly moved forward step by step. With each step, my feelings of attachment deepened. I frequently turned back, not even knowing what I was hoping for in my heart, only to feel disappointment wash over me with each glance back.

"Rong'er, do not cry; it is not as if you will never see your father again. In the future, your father can often visit you in the palace." Upon hearing my father's words, I realized that the reflection of Yunxiangrong in the mirror was already in tears. I reached out to hastily wipe away the traces of tears on my face and forced a smile at my father.

The son returns home, and it is appropriate for him to establish his family.

Following the "Pear Garden Gate Incident" and the "Fan Gate Incident," the entire Yunfu has once again fallen into a frenzy of "Face-Changing Gate Panic"

At last, it was quiet by my ears. I yanked off the headdress and took a deep breath. Damn it, I was about to suffocate! Ignoring the nagging advice from the Sprite and 7-Up beside me, I asked them to help me remove the heavy burden from my head; if it wasn't taken off soon, I feared it would break my neck. Looking around, the bridal chamber was filled with red: red window decorations, red candles, red tablecloths, red stools, red bed, and red blankets.

After disembarking, the master of ceremonies sang loudly: "The flower boat arrives at the door, bringing double blessings of fortune and longevity; auspicious stars shine brightly, bringing endless glory for years to come; the newlyweds step off the boat, with drums and music on both sides; friends and family cheer together, adding joy and wealth. The newlyweds take steps forward, each step representing a season and the names of flowers: the first step brings spring rain, welcoming the flowers of spring; the second step marks the awakening of insects and the vernal equinox, with red apricot blossoms filling the woods; the third step is Qingming and Grain Rain, with peach blossoms blooming, bringing joy to all; the fourth step is the beginning of summer and the minor fullness, as the wind blows and sunflowers bloom in abundance; the fifth step is Grain in Ear and Summer Solstice, with pomegranate flowers blooming as red as fire; the sixth step is the minor heat and major heat, with lotus flowers shining in the sun, looking fresh and new; the seventh step is the beginning of autumn, as the heat departs, with hibiscus flowers blooming, truly auspicious; the eighth step is White Dew and Autumn Equinox, with osmanthus and orchids filling the door; the ninth step is Cold Dew and Frost's Arrival, with various chrysanthemums blooming throughout the garden; the tenth step is the beginning of winter and light snow, with red plums bearing fruit and flowers blooming together; the eleventh step is heavy snow and the winter solstice, with the three friends of winter: pine, bamboo, and plum; the twelfth step is minor cold and major cold, with the bridal chamber's candles shining brightly, ensuring a good marriage. The newlyweds walked several steps, and the incense table was set before them; the incense burner and fruits were all arranged, waiting for the newlyweds to pay their respects to heaven and earth." This song of the newlyweds continued until they reached outside the main hall. The raccoon led me into the hall to pay respects to the Emperor, Empress, and the ancestral tablets, and then took my hand, surrounded by palace maids, eunuchs, and the master of ceremonies, as we entered the bridal chamber.

I couldn't help but gaze into his eyes, only to find him staring at me intently. His eyes, usually as bright as starlight, now resembled a deep pool of water, rippling with some inexplicable emotion. A stir ran through my heart, and I instinctively lowered my head, wanting to avoid his gaze. However, he reached out, his long fingers gently yet firmly lifting my chin, forcing me to face him. When I looked up, I saw that my grip had left him with a mix of white and red marks, rendering him quite disheveled, which made me laugh heartily. He reached out again, his long fingers gently yet firmly lifting my chin, compelling me to confront him. When I looked up, I noticed the same mix of white and red on his face, making him appear quite flustered, which caused me to laugh joyfully. Xiao Bai, upon seeing my laughter, seemed unsure whether to feel embarrassed or annoyed, his face suddenly flushed red. He sighed and pulled me into his embrace, saying, "You, you... After not seeing you for a few days, I intended to punish you for your mischief, yet it turns out I am the one being punished in the end..."

No matter how long the road is, there comes a moment when it is completed. When my grandfather placed my hand into another hand that felt unfamiliar, a sense of disappointment and loneliness coursed through my entire being. It was a pair of cold hands, with slightly rough palms that bore calluses, as if indicating that the owner of these hands was also a cold and unyielding person. At that moment, I suddenly longed for the warm and steady hands of Xiaobai, instinctively wanting to withdraw from this coldness, but this coldness tightly gripped my hand, rendering me unable to move even a fraction. The joyful and lively sounds of a wedding celebration filled my ears, amidst the clamor of gongs and drums, I discerned a faint and ethereal flute melody, lingering and melancholic, seemingly imbued with deep affection and a sense of reluctance.

I halted my steps and turned back abruptly, but all I saw was a dazzling and hollow expanse of red and the flickering shadows of lights beneath my feet, with nothing else in sight.

Lift your veil, let me see your face, your face is red and round, just like an apple in autumn. Lift your veil, let me see your lips, your lips are red and small, just like the red cherries in May. Hahaha! The feeling of lifting the veil is truly extraordinary. The raccoon is sleeping so soundly, could it be that he usually indulges too much? Never mind, he is sleeping deeply, which is just right for me. I have been bored all day, and now it is the perfect time to relax my muscles. I can't help but sing and dance with delight.

I have been bored all day, and now it is the perfect time to relax my muscles. I can't help but sing and dance with delight.

In light of the development of another versatile application, I attempted to explain to him the principles of sound production in a violin along with some sketches, persistently urging him to create one for me. To my surprise, after half a month of experimentation, he actually managed to make a violin. Holding the long-lost instrument, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions, reminiscing about my family from the past

As a result, I racked my brains and thought of all the greetings I knew, yet the raccoon cat still did not come to lift the veil. Could it be that he went out? I curiously lifted a corner of the wedding canopy, only to find the prince sitting casually at the table, propping his face up with one hand, fast asleep

Before long, the lady of the house entered to style my hair and adorned it with a phoenix crown. The crown was embellished with various gemstones and pearls, with a jade phoenix holding a rainbow pearl in its beak at the center. This rainbow pearl is a unique gem from the Kingdom of Xiangze, sourced from the East China Sea, and is extremely rare and precious. It is named "rainbow pearl" because it displays different colors when viewed from different angles, dazzling like a rainbow after the rain. Additionally, it has a very high density, which I estimate to be similar to that of lead. When this heavy phoenix crown was placed on my head, I felt as if my neck might break, and the thought of wearing it all day caused my face to contort in pain. The lady of the house, noticing my expression, couldn't help but chuckle: "Rong'er, bear with it; a woman only marries once in her lifetime, and it must be splendid no matter what." As she spoke, her hands did not stop; soon, I had a pair of gold-inlaid jade earrings shaped like wild geese added to my ears. Because I was afraid of the pain, I instructed them to modify all the earrings into clip-ons, which could be easily attached. Next, the lady of the house adorned my arms with several gold-inlaid jade bangles of varying sizes, followed by the intricate process of makeup.

I blinked in confusion, wondering where the flaw lay. How is it that the servants did not recognize it, yet Xiao Bai saw through it?

In the past, there were always various maids in the residence who were infatuated with Xiaobai's beauty, finding all sorts of reasons to appear before her from morning till night, one after another. Ever since the counterfeit Xiaobai extended its claws towards them, in the ever-changing stock market, Xiaobai, which was originally regarded as a blue-chip stock favored by the majority of investors, has plummeted from a high opening to a low closing, becoming an emerging junk stock.

Father, please do not worry! I am only afraid that the Crown Prince will fall in love with me!" I said with a playful smile, winking. Father chuckled for a moment, reached out to tease my nose, put down the comb, and then left.

However, Father paused for a moment, looking at me seriously, "Rong'er, you must remember not to be infatuated with the Crown Prince. In the imperial family, there is no true affection; if you lose your heart, you will lose at every turn."

"Please, the groom, set sail!" A sharp and high-pitched voice pierced through my reverie, awakening me to the realization that I had been brought aboard the wedding boat at some unknown time. The one who called out was undoubtedly the officiant from the palace. The raccoon finally released my hand and walked towards the bow of the boat. According to the customs of Xiangze Kingdom, the first stroke of the wedding boat must be rowed by the groom himself, ensuring that the couple will enjoy a harmonious and prosperous life together in the future. I do not know how far the boat has traveled; I only know that the sound of the flute lingered in my ears, eventually fading into a distant echo.

"Does it hurt? Did you get burned? Are you hurt by any fragments? Why are you always so restless? How can I feel at ease with you?" After saying this, one hand grasped my hand while the other attempted to wrap around my shoulder

At dusk, as the lights began to glow, the prince's wedding procession arrived at the entrance of the Yun residence. One could hear the rustling footsteps of numerous palace servants and maids outside, likely lining up in formation. After all sounds faded away, my father personally draped the red veil over me and gently led me out the door. Upon reaching the doorway, I noticed a round shadow cast on the ground, and I knew my father had raised the wedding umbrella above my head to protect me from malevolent intrusions

I instructed my servant to carve a shell from crystal and engraved a swan on it, which took three days to complete. On the day I presented the music box to Xiaobai, he remained silent for a long time, holding the music box, and his gaze towards me was as complex as that day, resembling a bottomless pool. It was only when I felt inexplicably embarrassed and lowered my head under his gaze that he finally stopped.

The peach trees are in full bloom, their flowers radiant and bright

Seeing me no longer cry, Xiaobai felt a sense of relief. "When you first came in, I thought you were Xiaoyue. But when you walked closer, I recognized you."

I elegantly weave through the various corners of the Cloud Mansion, sometimes disguising myself as a maid, at other times as a cook, and occasionally as a doorkeeper. Of course, my greatest enthusiasm lies in transforming into the appearance of Comrade Yun Xiaobai, the eldest young master of the Yun family, to flirt with the maids in the mansion

I, Yun Xiangrong, have finally set out on my journey

Regardless of hope or resistance, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived on time

Ah, ah... very good... very good, the eyeball is the eyeball, the sclera is the sclera

Fang Wanyong looked at the poor sketch I had drawn with charcoal, and after hearing me explain the general principle, he looked at me with some surprise: "Miss Liu is indeed an extraordinary person, capable of devising such a clever contraption. I am truly impressed!" Of course, someone as thick-skinned as I am accepted Master Fang's praise without blushing or skipping a beat, politely responding with a "Not at all, not at all."

--- "The Book of Songs: Zhou Nan: Peach Blossoms"

I pulled off the veil and phoenix crown, and circled in front of the raccoon cat, catching a faint scent of alcohol wafting from its breath. Its usually enchanting eyes were tightly closed at this moment, concealing its pride and brilliance. The straight nose, sharp as a knife, had thin lips gently pressed together, and the face, along with the bright wedding attire, made those lips appear as red as a drop of blood, exuding a seductive allure. I had to admit that the raccoon cat was indeed a beautiful creature. With a knife above the character for 'desire', I surprisingly forgot that I was supposed to be angry. The seductive allure was undeniable; I had to admit that the raccoon cat was indeed a beautiful creature. With a knife above the character for 'desire', I surprisingly forgot that I was supposed to be angry. Fortunately, I did not transform into Liu Hulan; if the enemy sent a handsome man to me, I would surely surrender immediately, which would be a great disservice to the Party and the people.

I closed my eyes and let her do as she pleased. After playing N rounds of Super Mario with the King of Dreams, I finally opened my eyes to see where that beautiful woman in the mirror came from. She had a faint water-red plum blossom makeup between her brows, her skin was as smooth as fat, and her complexion was as delicate as cream. Her dark eyebrows arched gracefully like distant peaks, and her lush green hair was dyed with the spring mist. Truly, she was born with an innate beauty that is hard to forsake. How did I end up looking so radiant? It really is a bargain for that non-human raccoon.

Once seated, the waiting maids who had long been standing by came forward in turn to scatter the prepared money and colorful fruits around us, reciting the scattering song: "Scattering to the east, the curtain surrounds the red candlelight, the auspicious atmosphere lingers long, the painted hall is filled with the spring breeze every day. Scattering to the west, the brocade ribbons and tassels hang down from the four corners, lifting the veil reveals the face of Chang'e, losing the celestial gentleman who catches the trailing branches. Scattering to the south, a harmonious sentiment brings joy and indulgence, the cool moon and gentle breeze refresh the courtyard, a pair of hometown ribbons adorn suitable men.

Scattering to the north, a hint of color between the brows, the hibiscus curtain warms the spring night, the moon goddess invites the guest from the moon palace. Scattering above, the mandarin ducks intertwine in pairs, from now on good dreams will come like leaves, seeing pearls? Coming into the palm. Scattering in the middle, a pair of jade hibiscuses in the moonlight, as if encountering a goddess tonight, surrounded by clouds under the witch peak. Scattering below, it is said that golden light illuminates the community, tonight auspicious dreams will follow, next year a son will surely bring fame.

Scattering behind, the couple harmoniously maintains their bond, traditionally the husband sings and the wife follows, do not become like the lioness roaring in the east of the river."

Rong'er usually enjoys drinking mint-infused water, and over time, she has developed a faint scent of mint about her. Rong'er may not be aware of it herself, but how could she possibly hide it from her brother? Xiao Bai gently took the burn ointment brought by the servant and began to apply it for me

If the aunt can endure, then the uncle cannot endure either! I am angry!

Yun family: With the Sixth Miss wandering around, it is inevitable that we will go mad; it is a rarity if we do not. We are just hoping for the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the Crown Prince will marry the Sixth Miss into the palace to rescue the hundreds of people in the Yun residence!

On the sixth day after Xiaobai unilaterally initiated a cold war, I, lacking in resolve, disguised myself as his maid, Xiaoyue, and sneaked into his study. Once inside, I saw the young master engrossed in reading a poetry collection from a previous dynasty. I stood by the door with my head down, and he did not look up, only furrowing his brows tightly. After twenty minutes, he remained in the same position, not turning a single page of the book, occasionally glancing towards the courtyard gate, appearing somewhat agitated.

Wait, what did he call me? Rong'er? When did he recognize me? I stopped sobbing and looked at him in confusion, "Does Xiao Bai know I am Rong'er?"

As evening approached, my father ordered someone to fetch the hundreds of jars of "Daughter's Red" that had been buried in the garden for ten years. This wine was brewed on the day of my birth and stored underground, waiting to be served to guests on the day of my marriage. When my father lifted the lid of the jar, an intoxicating aroma of wine immediately wafted through the air. Today, every household in the capital can enjoy the "Daughter's Red" distributed by the Yun family, creating a sense of nationwide celebration.

After the raccoon had laughed enough, it bent down to pick up the joy cloth from the ground and walked away.

Revolutionary pioneers are always misunderstood by the ordinary people around them. Since Xiao Bai learned the truth, not only has he failed to understand me, but he has also decided to distance himself from me. He has manfully refrained from seeking me out for five days, and whenever I go to find him, I am always blocked at the courtyard gate by the servants, who claim that their young master is busy studying and practicing martial arts and has no time to meet guests

"I wonder what my beloved thinks of this palace's eyes?" The raccoon cat cast a sidelong glance at me, displaying its most annoying signature expression, or rather, its signature look.

I have given small gifts to everyone else in the residence, but I pondered for a long time about what to give to Xiaobai. Eventually, I decided to find a skilled craftsman to make a music box for Xiaobai. However, while it sounds easy to say, it is not so easy to do. I was at a loss as to where to find such a craftsman, so I had no choice but to inquire with Fang Wanyong.

I estimated that the raccoon would take some time to return from the banquet, and I couldn't help but stretch and plan to lie down for a nap. However, before I could even lie down, I heard the host outside announcing loudly: "Please, the groom, enter the bridal chamber to unveil the bride's veil!" I jolted upright, hurriedly placed the phoenix crown on my head, and pulled the veil over myself. Seeing the raccoon enter, both Sprite and 7-Up quickly left the room, leaving just the two of us. I, who had experienced such great storms and waves as time travel, suddenly felt a bit nervous, realizing that I had become a married woman and would have to face the raccoon every day from now on. What should I say when the raccoon lifts the veil? Hi? Hello? ... Have you eaten? ... I, who had experienced such great storms and waves as time travel, suddenly felt a bit nervous, realizing that I had become a married woman and would have to face the raccoon every day from now on. What should I say when the raccoon lifts the veil? Hi? Hello? ... Have you eaten? ...

I do not know why ancient people were so keen on unveiling the bride's wedding veil. Today, let me, Lord Rong, experience it as well, hehe. I waved my hand in front of the raccoon cat's eyes, and seeing that it did not react, I confidently covered its face with the wedding veil.

Now, whenever the maidservants in the residence see Xiaobai, they blush and run away. Generally, within a radius of ten meters where Xiaobai is present, no opposite sex can be seen. At first, Xiaobai was puzzled but quite happy; without the constant presence of the maidservants, he felt much more relaxed and at ease. It wasn't until one day, after being inexplicably lectured by his aunt with a serious expression about propriety, integrity, and shame, that he finally understood what was going on.

I immediately grabbed the hijab and threw it over my head as I retreated to the edge of the bed, playing the role of Lin Junjie (those who know how to adapt are the true talents), and obediently sat down. Little did I know, I sat right on a pile of peanuts and lotus seeds, which made my bottom ache painfully. I jumped up in surprise, and since the hijab was not secured properly, it fell to the ground with my sudden movement. Holding my bottom, I saw the raccoon in front of me laughing wildly, and I felt an impulse to commit murder against my husband.

The matron draped a red wedding gown over me. Looking at the dazzling red on my body, I experienced a moment of daze, with only the lines "The embroidered robe is layered with leaves, a golden phoenix and a silver goose each with a thread" and "The dark brows rival the color of the daylily, the red skirt is envious of the pomegranate flower" echoing in my mind repeatedly

Nowadays, the atmosphere in Yunfu is one of heightened vigilance, where everyone is on edge. Upon meeting, individuals typically scrutinize each other with suspicion, and the first words spoken are invariably: "Miss Liu?" (to be pronounced with a rising tone) to confirm the actual identity of the other party

The scent of a woman can be recognized by the faint mint aroma that even the little white dog can discern, almost rivaling that of a clever dog like Lassie. However, it is rather inconsiderate of this fellow to recognize me and then command me to serve tea and water. I glared at the little white dog fiercely and reached out to grab a handful of white ointment to smear on its face. I expected the little white dog to dodge, but to my surprise, it did not avoid me, allowing me to cover its face with a frothy white mess.

"Why are you crying, Rong'er? Does it hurt a lot? Please don't cry, Rong'er. I will send someone to fetch the burn ointment from Master Fang right away! Just bear with it for a moment; it's all my fault, dear brother!" Xiao Bai became anxious and, while holding my hand, shouted for someone to get the medicine.
