Perhaps she had caught a cold from the wind that breezed through the courtyard last night. When Lisa woke up the next morning, she felt heaviness in her head yet the most nuisance matter was she couldn't continue her rest anymore because the entire Ye manor was seething with excitement. 

Jungkook would be welcoming the bride in the early hours of wushi (11am-1pm). 

Both her aunts (wives of the elder and younger paternal uncles) had already brought people over and commanded the overall situation in an orderly manner. As they were close to the King mansion, there was ample of time thus they specially allowed Lisa to sleep a little longer but when she woke up and was dazed, it made them extremely anxious.

"Aiyo, my little ancestor, hurriedly come and sit in front of the mirror. Why are you still looking like this when you are getting married soon? Come on, get your spirit up. It will not look good if Wangye sees you later!" 

Ji Shi, the wife of her younger paternal uncle spoke hastily and promptly got into action where she pushed the dillydallies Lisa to the side of the dressing table. The maidservants immediately rushed forward as they combed her hair up while inserting hairpins and hair ornaments, surrounded her tightly which made Lisa feel terribly dizzy all of a sudden. 

The wife of her elder paternal uncle, Yan Shi touched her forehead worriedly as she said, "Lili, are you feeling unwell?" 

Dozens of eyes immediately focused on her once the question was out and they all seemed rather nervous. Lisa smiled at them faintly before replying softly, "I'm fine. Just didn't sleep well." 

Ji Shi covered her mouth and laughed, "Could it possibly be you are nervous hence didn't sleep well? It's normal. After the wedding, everything will be fine. So don't worry." 

Saying that, she then busy with sending people to bring over the jade ruyi, the golden lock, apple and other things before displaying them one by one on the table while waiting for Lisa to finish with her make-up and dressing up. Upon seeing that, the maidservants' movement became more nimble. 

After a moment of bustling, the bride finally looked presentable. Wearing the phoenix robe topped with a golden pheasant coronet, an  around her neck with ross quartz on her waist, she held the auspicious cloud in her hand that the polished exquisite makeup made her look charming and stunning. Standing by the side, Yan Shi gazed at her with slightly reddened eyes that she dabbed the corners with a handkerchief. 

"Our family Lili is so good, so must not be wronged when you get married over..." 

Lisa knew that her elder paternal uncle Ye Xun and Yan Shi were ladened with anxieties with Chu Jungkook's identity, fearing she would be implicated by his acts of treason and heresy. Yet she was unable to explain much to the elders at this moment thus she could only gripped Yan Shi's hand and spoke out lightly, "Aunt, you know that I have always been stubborn and unruly, I will be the one that bully others even when I go to the King mansion, so how can there be others bullying me?" 

Ji Shi had always been heartened hence hearing that, she immediately laughed out loud yet she also did not forget to exhort a few words, "You ah, not even ashamed to admit that. It's fine to act reckless at home but you must restrain your temper in the future. As the saying goes, a woman must obey one's husband once married over. Moreover, your husband is a distinguished person, thus you mustn't defy him, understand?" 

"I know, aunt." Lisa replied obediently when Jungkook's image suddenly flashed through her mind.

Wondered how he would look like today? 

She had ultimately felt slightly better after hugging Kookoo and voicing those words last night. It seemed that she shouldn't suppress matters in her heart. There were still numerous battles to be fought in King mansion later. She still had to continue gnawing that hard-boned Jungkook and also meet that Meng Chen woman, if her spirit was still low, what's to be done if she was in an inferior position?
