Feng Jin did not continue to make things difficult for Lu Shi, and began to ask him if all the preparations for the wedding were in order, lest there be something missing.
"Most of it is prepared, only the jewelry and wedding attire for Cai Qing's wedding day have not been chosen yet."
Other things were mostly ready, but the wedding dress and phoenix coronet were yet to be decided. They had looked at many, but none were particularly satisfactory.
Feng Jin rolled her eyes. She knew that Lu Shi would still have things unprepared. "With your taste, you can't pick out anything great. I'll handle this. Think carefully, is there anything else you've overlooked?"
"There are also the invitations, they haven't been sent out yet."
Lu Shi racked his brains and thought that this seemed to be the only thing not chosen. The rest were almost ready.
"Is that really all?"
She asked again, impatiently. She couldn't believe that even after she had reminded him so much, Lu Shi still couldn't think of anything.
Lu Shi's brows furrowed slightly. Hearing the young madam's tone, he seemed to have forgotten something, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall anything.
Hesitantly, Lu Shi said cautiously, "It seems there's nothing else..."
It seemed there really was nothing else, but he said it without any confidence, his eyes constantly glancing at Feng Jin, afraid that he would say the wrong thing and be scolded by the young madam again.
"You are truly... truly brainless!"
Feng Jin sighed in the end, saying with great helplessness. She was truly impressed by Lu Shi's brain, she didn't know what was inside. Perhaps it was all paste, she always felt that what was inside might not be a brain at all.
"Young Madam... your subordinate..."
"Stop talking. Say one less word."
She directly told Lu Shi to shut up because she was afraid that if Lu Shi spoke again, she would really be angered to death by him.
Relying on Lu Shi to recall any important forgotten matters seemed difficult. It seemed that she would have to rely on herself in the end.
"Have you set the date for your wedding?"
This casually uttered sentence exploded between the two like a time bomb.
Cai Qing's gaze fell on Lu Shi, and from his expression, she had guessed everything. "You haven't even set the date yet?"
It was truly unimaginable that Lu Shi could forget such an important matter. This was too unbelievable.
Lu Shi also realized he had made a mistake. He looked at Cai Qing guiltily, scratching his head to hide his embarrassment. "I've been too busy these past two days, so I... I forgot about this matter..."
"Forgot? You can forget such an important matter? You haven't even set the date, how can you get married? I think it's better not to get married at all!"
The anger in her heart was hard to suppress. Cai Qing was so angry that her lungs felt like they were about to explode, wishing she could jump up.
"Don't be angry yet. It's all my fault. I was negligent. I... I'll go find a date right now and set it immediately."
Knowing Cai Qing's temper and fearing that she would refuse to marry in her anger, Lu Shi's heart was filled with panic. He was about to go find someone to pick a date and set it quickly.
Feng Jin looked at the flustered Lu Shi and sighed helplessly. As expected, it was just as she predicted. Lu Shi had truly forgotten such an important matter and cast it to the back of his mind.
It seemed that if she hadn't reminded him today, this marriage might really fall through.
"Alright, save your efforts. Stop rushing to find someone to pick a date. I already had someone do it. The sixteenth of next month is a propitious day, and it matches your birthdates perfectly. Getting married at this time, you will surely have smooth sailing in the future."
She knew that if she only relied on Lu Shi, things would never get done. As soon as she thought of this matter, she had already asked someone to choose a date.
"Thank you, Young Madam. Your great kindness, your subordinate will never forget it. I have no way to repay your kindness other than to be your ox and horse."
Lu Shi was so touched that he almost cried. The young madam's actions were like sending charcoal in the snow, solving his urgent need. The young madam was truly a kind-hearted and beautiful person.
"Stop it, stop it. Shut your mouth. Don't say those heartfelt words."
His few words of gratitude almost made her feel like a great sage, and Lu Shi offering to be her ox and horse in return made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I'm only doing this for Cai Qing's sake. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with your troubles."
This Lu Shi had been by Ling Mo Han's side for too long, and had been deeply influenced by him.
He was simply single-minded and completely uninspired. To spend a lifetime with such a person would be a pity for Cai Qing.
She hoped that Lu Shi would be a good man and treat Cai Qing better in the future, so that Cai Qing would not suffer any grievances.
"Young Madam, you are so kind to this humble servant, I don't know how I can repay your kindness."
She had truly seen everything the young madam had done for her, how could she not be moved?
She was just a servant, a servant's life was not valuable. She, a humble person, had actually encountered a mistress like the young madam, who had never treated her as a servant but as family, and had been wholeheartedly good to her.
Such immense kindness, even if she were to be an ox or a horse in her next life, she would not be able to repay the young madam's kindness.
"I have long regarded you as my own sister. Aren't these things that an elder sister should do when her sister gets married?"
Since she arrived at the Ling Residence, Cai Qing had been the kindest person to her. She had never treated Cai Qing as a servant but had always treated her as family.
Now, being able to witness Cai Qing find her own happiness filled her with inexpressible joy, but also a hint of worry.
"Young Madam..."
Cai Qing could not suppress her surging emotions, and tears fell uncontrollably. Her small face was instantly streaked with tears like pear blossoms after rain.
"What are you crying for? You're about to become a bride. Crying mournfully is unlucky. Listen and wipe your tears. Stop crying."
This little girl started crying profusely with just a few words, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Lu Shi watched the two of them chat back and forth, standing there dumbfounded, unable to interject a single word, making him feel incredibly awkward.
"Young Madam, you continue chatting. I'll go check the inner room."
Feng Jin nodded slightly, signaling that Lu Shi could leave. Then, she took Cai Qing's hand and sat down on a nearby chair.
"Take a look later and tell me if anything is missing. I'll help you get it all ready."
