At these words, the wet nurse didn’t know what to say and could only sigh heavily.
Wei Ruo stepped forward, gently embraced the wet nurse, and patted her on the back, “Nurse, don’t worry. I will handle it properly, and won’t let myself be wronged.”
The wet nurse nodded, her eyes reddening slightly, but said nothing more.
At this moment, all she felt was heartache. When she first started nursing this child, she was just a little baby, a small bundle in her arms.
Over the years, she had watched her grow up bit by bit, into a graceful young woman.
The more she hoped to see her happy, the more heartbroken she was about the choice she was making.
After saying goodbye to the wet nurse, Wei Ruo left the Four Treasure House.
Then Wei Ruo went to class in Tianqin Garden. During the lunch break, she found Miss Wang.
“Miss Wang, there is something I want to ask. Do you know of any marriageable men in your hometown who own a few acres of land, are honest farmers and scholars, come from a honest family? It’s okay if their family is poor. They need to be terminally ill though. If they are already married and have children, that would be even better.”
Upon hearing Wei Ruo’s description, Wang Caiwei was puzzled, “What are you trying to do?”
Wei Ruo didn’t hide her intent, and directly told her about her plan.
After a year of interaction, they had come to understand each other well. Miss Wang would understand and support things that most people couldn’t comprehend about Wei Ruo.
This included her sneaking off from school to help with farm work. Not only did Miss Wang have no objections, she also helped Wei Ruo cover up, enabling her to do what she wanted without worries.
Therefore, Wei Ruo dared to be so straightforward in discussing this matter with Miss Wang.
One of the reasons she approached Wang Caiwei was that since she was going to marry, she might as well marry far away, and Wang Caiwei’s hometown was a good place to go.
After listening to Wei Ruo’s words, Wang Caiwei was silent for a long time.
Even for someone as intelligent as her, this was the first time she had heard of a woman seeking a dying man for her marriage proposal.
She herself was a widow and knew how difficult the world was for widows. Even with her considerable learning, life was still extremely hard.
Wang Caiwei observed Wei Ruo’s earnest expression carefully and knew she was serious and not joking with her.
“Your idea is very unique. I suppose your parents don’t understand it.”
“Of course, that’s why I’m asking for your help, Miss Wang. I know you are knowledgeable and have a wide variety of acquaintances. Perhaps you can assist me.” Wei Ruo said.
“Does your elder brother know about this?” Wang Caiwei asked.
” I have not discussed it with my elder brother yet.”
” I see. I will take note of this and help you inquire. But whether or not I will tell you the results will depend on your elder brother’s consent.” Wang Caiwei replied.
“Alright, thank you, Miss Wang.” Wei Ruo considered it. Her elder brother would inevitably find out sooner or later, so it wouldn’t matter if she told him in advance.

Anzhou Academy is located halfway up a mountainside outside the Government City of Taizhou Prefecture. A winding staircase extends from the foot of the mountain right to the main entrance of the academy.
Nothing unusual happened in the two days after Wei Yichen and Xiu Fengyuan returned to Anzhou Academy.
After school one day, Lu Yuhong came to invite them to go hunting in the back mountain.
“You two, it’s rare that we finish class early today. Come and accompany me to the back mountain to hunt. I’ve been bored these past few days and can’t focus on anything.” Lu Yuhong was eager.
Xiu Fengyuan agreed with a smile, “No problem. With Lu Bro’s invitation, we will accompany.”
