Wei Jinyi suddenly halted his hand that was holding the teacup, and once again looked up at the person in front of him.
Without the fake beard and birthmark as a cover, her lovely little face was perfectly clear; her sprightly eyes clear as a pool, were staring right at him. “Why bring up the Ji jie event so suddenly?” Wei Jinyi asked.
“Because after Ji jie, my family will start seeking a marriage alliance for me. I now have a new concern, upon marriage, I will become family with another, then I may not have time to meet with second brother and dine together.” said Wei Ruo.
Hence, such boating trips and the opportunities for idle chats over tea with second brother like the present would be fewer in the future.
Upon her arrival at the Wei Family, the most comfortable place to be in the mansion was the small pavilion in Yingzhu Garden.
Thinking of it, there was a pinch of reluctance in Wei Ruo regarding her departure from the Wei family.
Of course, this slight clinging would definitely not alter her original intentions.
Wei Jinyi observed Wei Ruo’s thoughtful expression and asked, “What type of husband does Ruoruo wish to find?”
“Anything goes.” said Wei Ruo. She had almost no demands for his character or appearance but only hoped for a simple family structure from his side, devoid of any troublesome elders.
She did not yet have the courage to tell Wei Jinyi that she wanted to find a man on his deathbed because even second brother would likely not approve of her idea.
Wei Jinyi’s eyebrows knitted slightly. It seemed he had some objections to what Wei Ruo said, but after observing Wei Ruo for a while, he remained silent.
“Is second brother also close to the time of matchmaking?” suddenly Wei Ruo asked curiously.
“I’m not in a hurry.”
“Indeed, older brother must go first, and since older brother needs to take the imperial examination first, the family will naturally not rush to arrange for his marriage.” Wei Ruo said.
“Mm.” Wei Jinyi did not explain further. Wei Ruo’s recent words undoubtedly stirred up his thoughts.
“Then, second brother, what type of wife do you wish to find?” Wei Ruo asked with curiosity.
Wei Jinyi did not reply immediately. Instead, he silently observed Wei Ruo for a while, then answered, “Intelligent, kind-hearted, with her own thoughts, and compatible.”
“Then I wish second brother to find such a beautiful lady soon!” Wei Ruo said.
Wei Jinyi remained silent and shifted his gaze to the lake outside. Ripples formed on the lake surface, endlessly seeming to rise and then disperse.
Some thoughts unknowingly slipped into his heart, and unknowingly took root and sprouted.

Later, Wei Jinyi asked Lin Fang to bring Wei Ruo to the room next to the tea room.
Lin Fang carefully examined Wei Ruo’s facial features, then took out a wooden box, then a bowl, put in some powder, added water, mixed, and finally thickened it into a paste.
“Miss, you need not be afraid. The mixture I’ve concocted will not harm your skin.” Lin Fang explained.
“Okay.” Wei Ruo nodded.
“I will dab this mixture sparingly on certain areas of your face. After it solidifies and is removed, a layer exactly conforming to your facial contour will be formed. This layer will then be able to assist in making small changes to your appearance in the future.”
“Okay.” Wei Ruo agreed.
She just had heard about the disguise techniques of these worldly people before, and today she had the opportunity to see it for the first time.
Lin Fang did not apply much of the mixture to Wei Ruo’s face. She focused on the chin and cheek areas to alter the lower contours of Wei Ruo’s face.
Wei Ruo looked at her transformed features in the mirror and appeared satisfied.
