Chapter 1664 No chance yet
Lu Zhaoling was finally back, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone instinctively checked Lu Zhaoling first, scanning her up and down. They were relieved to find that she was unharmed, and most importantly, there were no marks on her face.
Seeing Lu Zhaoling's worried and guilty expression, they quickly said, "How could that be? Miss Rong has taken excellent care of us. We all had a good nap and just woke up a little while ago. We were just saying that we slept so well in Huaiyuan and are full of energy now, just waiting for you, our bride."
Lu Zhaoling observed their spirits and complexions, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were not lying.
Rong Jingjing glanced behind her and saw Qingyin, Qingbao, and Qingmu, but not her master or uncles.
The Emperor Emeritus and Madam Sheng hadn't returned either. She immediately looked at Lu Zhaoling questioningly, "Senior Sister, what about Master and the others...?"
Lu Zhaoling gave her a wink.
She explained, "Master and the others went to the Yin residence first and will be here in a while."
Rong Jingjing knew there must be something to deal with, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"Then the wedding?" Sun Yingying squeezed in.
Lu Zhaoling smiled and said, "Of course it's on schedule."
"Great."
Everyone sprang into action immediately.
“Now, Sister Zhaoling, you don’t have any time to rest,” Lin Yanran quickly took Lu Zhaoling’s hand. “Come on, we’ll take you to take a bath.”
As they spoke, they pulled Lu Zhaoling along with Sun Yingying and ran towards the backyard.
Lu Zhaoling was pulled along by them and involuntarily started running. She asked, somewhat bewildered, "Are you going to help me take a bath?"
Sun Yingying laughed and said, "Yes, Sister Zhaoling, you're not shy, are you?"
She turned around and called out, "Qingyin and Qingbao, come and help us quickly!"
The old lady and their mother have already explained it to them. Everything in the bath room is ready. This bath before the wedding cannot be taken lightly.
They figured that Sister Zhaoling definitely wouldn't know, so they would definitely go and help; the two maids, Qingyin and Qingbao, probably wouldn't be able to handle it all.
Qingyin and Qingbao quickly got into character, and the two of them said in a clear voice, "Your servants are here!"
Lu Zhaoling was quickly ushered into the bathroom.
Seeing the pile of things next to the bathtub, she felt a chill run down her spine. "Are they going to scrub me raw?"
How come there are several tools that even look like brushes? And they're not even the same type.
Lin Yanran followed Lu Zhaoling's gaze, picked up one of the brushes, wiped it on the back of Lu Zhaoling's hand, let her try it, and laughed.
"Sister Zhaoling, this scrubbing doesn't hurt at all. Mother and the others said that this bath today must be done properly for you..."
Lin Yanran was too embarrassed to continue.
Sun Yingying chimed in, "Anyway, we want to make you, Sister Zhaoling, as smooth as a peeled boiled egg from the inside out, so that Prince Jin will be completely captivated."
After saying that, her own face felt a little hot.
Qingyin and Qingbao covered their mouths and laughed. These things had been sent over by Granny Qing a few days ago; how could they not know their uses?
Lu Zhaoling glanced at them again; those items were mostly for scrubbing skin, trimming nails, or cleaning ears.
Anyway, there are many kinds, big and small.
Besides these, there are also many things like perfume and fresh flowers, which are meant to enhance her fragrance, right?
So that she could become a delicious "dish"? And then be handed over to Zhou Shiyue to taste?
As her thoughts wandered, her face flushed slightly.
However, I'm afraid Zhou Shiyue won't have that opportunity tomorrow.
Lu Zhaoling wanted to tell them that there was no need to go to so much trouble, but considering that this was her first and only wedding in her lifetime, no, maybe three lifetimes, she decided to let things be as they were.
Perhaps, performing all the rituals completely will make the memories more vivid later.
Moreover, even if she wanted to refuse, she wouldn't have the chance.
Lin Yanran and the others were still shy, but Qingyin and Qingbao had already listened to Granny Qing's instructions and immediately started peeling her skin.
Lu Zhaoling really felt like she had been scrubbed clean.
She actually thought she usually took a pretty thorough bath and washed herself very clean, but when Qingyin and Qingbao used those special tools and scrubbed her carefully, they actually managed to scrub off some dirt.
Lu Zhaoling found it hard to look at herself directly.
But what kind of good person would humiliate themselves like that?
You rubbed her until her whole body was red, okay?
However, after she finished washing up and touched herself, she was surprised by how smooth her skin was.
Anyway, this bath took a very long time.
Lu Zhaoling was also wondering if Zhou Shiyue would have to go through this process at the Prince's Mansion.
You have to come over; that's the only way to be fair.
Yin Changxing and his group went to the Yin residence first, where they also tidied themselves up.
Besides cleaning themselves up, they also went to the underworld to make sure that the evil spirit they had captured earlier was properly locked up in purgatory and kept securely locked up.
Seeing that the Black and White Envoys had properly locked up the evil spirit, Yin Changxing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They exchanged a glance as they looked at the evil spirit.
Yin Yunting said, "Let's come down and interrogate him later. Right now, the most important thing is Senior Sister's marriage. We shouldn't stay in the Netherworld for too long before Senior Sister gets married."
Weng Songzhi nodded and said, "Yes, just make sure he doesn't run away. Let's go back first. Fortunately, this matter was resolved before Xiaoling'er's wedding, otherwise, thinking about that roof beast would still make me a little uneasy."
Yin Yunting nodded, "That's right. It turns out that the roof beast was also related to this evil spirit. Fortunately, it has been dealt with."
Otherwise, they probably still wouldn't feel at ease if the wedding procession passed through there tomorrow.
The two envoys, one black and one white, escorted them out. After a moment's hesitation, they asked Yin Yunting, "Judge, tomorrow is Senior Sister's wedding, such a joyous occasion. Don't you think we should all come up and ask for a cup of celebratory wine?"
Hearing their words, Yin Yunting was somewhat surprised.
He paused for a moment before asking, "Who are you referring to when you say 'we all'? No, which ghosts?"
Xiao Hei said, "Of course it's me, Xiao Bai, Meng Po, the ghost messengers from the Judge's Hall, and those people from the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market contacted us before, saying that our eldest sister went to the Ghost Market, and since we all got along well, they even asked us what kind of congratulatory gift we should give her."
"I reckon there must be twenty or thirty in total, right?" Xiaobai said. "That's after we've streamlined it. For some of the people who were supposed to go, we just helped our senior sister decline."
