Looking at Mai Cheng’s retreating back, Ning Yue sighed again. She couldn’t remember how many times she had sighed today.

Seeing Mai Cheng walk away, Jiang Ying slowly walked over.

He had been standing silently nearby since Mai Cheng arrived. To be honest, he didn’t think Mai Cheng was a good person.

Therefore, Jiang Ying was very worried that Mai Cheng would do something to hurt Ning Yue, so he stood nearby and watched them.

Unexpectedly, Mai Cheng fled in the end. He was even a little curious about what Ning Yue had said.

Before Jiang Ying could ask, Ning Yue told him about the conversation just now.

Jiang Ying’s expression turned even worse. Did Mai Cheng think so little of human lives?

In Mai Cheng’s opinion, his life was important. Was someone else’s life not?

“Does he think that changing his name can hide what he did in the past?” Jiang Ying said.

“I don’t know what he’s thinking,” Ning Yue replied.

“Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore. Mother said that an embroiderer will come and take our measurements today. Let’s go back,” Jiang Ying said.

According to the ancient rules of marriage, the groom and bride could not meet before marriage. However, the elders at home did not say anything about these two people and let them be.

They had faced so much together and traveled together. Earlier, the two of them had Xiaobao and Xiaobei.

These secular matters would no longer affect the two of them, so the elders of the two families turned a blind eye to the two of them meeting before marriage.

When the two of them returned to the Ning family, they saw the embroiderer sent by the palace. “Heir, I’m Hong Hong, an embroiderer sent by the palace. I’m here to take your measurements and make your clothes.”

Actually, although she was here to take measurements, the general outline of the clothes was already there. She just needed to lower the waists, lower the shoulders, and adjust the sleeves according to Jiang Ying and Ning Yue’s figures. It wouldn’t take much effort.

After taking her measurements, she returned to the palace to report.

Originally, the groom’s and bride’s clothes could be made outside the palace, but the emperor did not allow it. The emperor said that Jiang Ying was his younger brother. Since it was his younger brother’s marriage, he would definitely get the best embroiderer in the palace to make clothes for them.

That was why today, the embroiderer had gone to the Ning family to take their measurements.

As the wedding date approached, Ning Yue suddenly began to feel a little nervous.

Whether in her previous life or this life, this was her first time getting married. She was getting married!

Everyone in the Ning family was busy. They seemed to be preparing for something.

On the contrary, she acted as if nothing had happened. Apart from being mentally prepared to be a bride, she had not prepared anything. Was that appropriate?

At the thought of this, Ning Yue hurriedly went to look for Madam Liu, wanting to ask her what she could do.

Madam Liu had been through this before. She could tell at a glance that Ning Yue was nervous and uneasy.

“Yueyue, you’re the bride-to-be. You don’t have to do anything. You just have to be mentally prepared to marry Jiang Ying,” Madam Liu said with a smile.

“Mother!” Ning Yue called out to Madam Liu with a red face.

“Hey! Alright, alright. Didn’t Jiang Ying ask you out to the lake today? Just go with him. We’ll take care of the family matters,” Madam Liu replied.

“How can 1 think about having fun when I see that you’re busy? I feel bad,” Ning Yue said.

In any case, she was the one getting married. She wasn’t involved, but she made the people around her busy. She really felt bad.

Actually, everything was almost ready. They would at most give the servants some instructions to make the final arrangements. There was nothing tiring about it.

“Alright, do you think we’re very tired? We’re extremely happy. Our baby is getting married, so we’re naturally happy. Everything we do is voluntary. Also, what can a bride-to-be like you do? Just be prepared,” Madam Liu replied with a smile.

“Alright, alright. It’s almost time for Jiang Ying to ask you out to the lake. Aren’t you going?” Madam Liu pretended to have a straight face and pushed Ning Yue out of the house.

She kept saying, “We’re at home. What are you worried about? You can’t rush a wedding. You’ve never been married before. What can you do? Of course you have to let us elders do it.”

Hearing Madam Liu’s words, Ning Yue’s heart warmed. She said to Madam Liu, “Thank you so much, Mother..”
