The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 989 - 983: Doing Her Own Bridal Makeup

"Oh my, isn’t that mountain home to the Immortal Mountain of the fairies? Wasn’t it said to bless our Lotus Village? Why has it turned out like this now?"

"Last year when Shunzi and the others went hunting on the mountain, they saw fairies, one in black and one in white, young faced with white hair. After the Emperor found out, he sent troops from Yangguan City to search the mountain. It must have been then that they offended the fairies, and now the fairies want to punish us. What a sin! If this mountain collapses, it’s not just our Lotus Village, but the whole path down to Qingshui would be destroyed, damn this foolish Emperor."

The villagers discussed fervently, ultimately attributing this natural disaster to the wrath of the fairies.

Qin Changlin followed Shunzi and the others.

Unable to separate from the Wang Family, Shunzi’s parents could only take their children and Shunzi’s younger brother to flee for their lives.

When they reached a higher part of the valley, thunderous sounds emanated from behind the mountain of Lotus Village, roaring like thunder.

Turning back, they saw the heavy rain intensifying, and a torrential mudslide rushed down from the mountain, quickly burying the low houses of Lotus Village.

Those who couldn’t bear to leave, those who were slow, their fate seemed grim.

Amidst the Earth and heavens, cries of despair echoed, tears mixed with the rain, and they could no longer care for anything else as they desperately fled for their lives.

...

In the north, the weather was scorching as if afire. The heavy snows of winter had long past, and this year’s warmth seemed to hasten much sooner than before. By May, everyone had already switched to summer silks.

While wiping their sweat, the servants of the Lin Residence complained, "The belongings are even more than when the young lady was married off, this prominence has even surpassed King Jin’s marriage to the young lady. With so many dowries, it’s tough on us laborers."

A maid quietly counting the dowry spoke in a low voice, "Keep it down and focus on your work. These items are invaluable. If you accidentally damage one, even your sale wouldn’t cover the costs."

Another persuaded, "Yes, don’t be jealous. I heard that the Lin Residence prepared items for Miss but she didn’t take any. All the dowry was prepared by Miss herself. Jisheng Hall, and even the master behind Manxiu Building, are all Miss’s doings."

"Really? Miss is truly capable. Isn’t she born a farmer’s daughter? How is she so impressive?"

An older woman said, "Hey, you don’t know because I followed from the countryside. Before the Lin family moved to the capital, they were already well-known in Qingshui Town. All those substantial family assets were earned by Miss’s mother, who was good at doing business. It seems Miss takes after her mother."

"Oh, that explains it!"

That said, their respect for Miss rose yet another notch.

The Lin family’s favor towards Miss was not without reason. Since Lin senior owed his success to his sister, it was only right to reward it through his niece.

But Miss was indeed remarkable. All the dowry, all earned by herself, not a single penny taken from the Lin family.

Yes, naturally remarkable, or why else would Miss be marrying the Prince?

The dowry was all packed, just waiting for the day to be moved.

With the help of several maids, Gu Youyou was getting her bridal makeup done. She only let them handle the complex hairdo, preferring to apply the cosmetics herself.

Having been the Gu Family’s young lady for over two decades, she was adept at creating all kinds of delicate makeups.

Soon, a vivid yet elegant makeup was complete, enhancing her naturally fairer complexion than the average person, making her look stunning and enticing.
