Fu Rong made one last adjustment to Zheng Quchi's facial features and checked the softness and firmness of the fake skin.
He was very satisfied with his work: "Madam, the soap on your face has dried completely. As long as you are careful not to get it wet, it won't come off easily."
Zheng Quchi nodded, indicating that he had heard.
She reached out her finger and touched the texture on her cheek.
Soft and icy cold.
It's like applying a jelly mask to your face; it feels a bit stuffy and heavy, but it adheres very well and doesn't have any unpleasant smell, just a very faint grassy scent.
Zheng Quchi's almond-shaped eyes shone brightly as she asked, "Can it be used indefinitely as long as it doesn't get wet?"
Fu Rong felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. This lady's eyes were too bright and clear. How many men could have such exquisite and bright eyes? But this kind of thing is innate and closely related to one's temperament.
Madam... is truly quite different from those with dark and gloomy minds.
I don't know why the general insists on keeping someone who can't fit into their world by his side. Isn't he afraid that it will eventually turn into another tragedy?
Just like... his parents.
Realizing his thoughts had wandered, Fu Rong quickly regained his composure and said, "This won't do. It will need to be disassembled, washed, and re-attached every ten to fifteen days, otherwise it will become distorted and lose its texture. If Madam needs it, Fu Rong can make a set that can be used for a long time."
Zheng Quchi, being a girl, had another concern: "If I keep this stuff on my face for a long time, will it cause my skin to break out?"
"The weather isn't hot right now, so there's not much sweating and it won't have any impact. When it gets hot, Fu Rong will have his wife change into another kind of one that she can take off at any time."
He explained patiently and in detail. Zheng Quchi had never seen Fu Rong's true face, but at this moment he had the appearance of a kind and gentle scholar, which made it very easy for him to win favor.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you... Uncle Fu."
Since Fu Rong was currently dressed as a middle-aged man, Zheng Quchi felt a little embarrassed to call him by his name directly, so he addressed him by his age.
"Please don't!" Fu Rong broke out in a cold sweat. He glanced at the general and quickly said, "Actually, my real age is not much different from Wei Yao's. Please don't call me uncle, just call me by my name."
She's elevated his seniority by doing this, which means even the general would have to call him uncle, which is a great disrespect.
Zheng Quchi paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile: "Oh, you look quite mature."
"This isn't my real face," was all Fu Rong could say.
Seeing that Fu Rong had completed Zheng Quchi's transformation, Yuwen Sheng walked over. He didn't linger on Zheng Quchi's fake face for long, but suddenly said to Wei Yao, "Wei Yao, take Madam to the Craftsmen's Guild first, and then go to Xishan Cliff later."
Wei Yao was somewhat surprised, but quickly recovered and replied, "Yes."
Zheng Quchi was suspicious. Didn't they say that Fu Rong would take her there? Why is it that now it's Brother Wei instead?
But Yuwen Sheng's thoughts are always hard to guess; they can be as unpredictable as sunshine or rain.
But compared to Fu Rong, whom she was not familiar with, she naturally preferred to travel with Wei Yao.
Next, Zheng Quchi was instructed to change his identity and successfully infiltrate the artisan guild to familiarize himself with all operations, in preparation for his trip to Julu Kingdom ten days later.
"Brother Wei, let's hurry up and go."
Zheng Quchi was about to leave the tent, but Wei Yao didn't move and kept giving her meaningful glances.
She then noticed Wang Zebang's dark expression and Fu Rongchao's backward pursed lips.
Following that direction, she saw Yuwen Sheng watching her with a gentle smile, and her face immediately turned pale.
Very well, she completely forgot that she was already married and that she had a husband who was completely out of her mind.
She recalled the period dramas she had watched, and wondered how the wives of high-ranking families in those dramas said goodbye to their husbands.
It seems so... First, place both hands on your hips, then lower your eyes and bend your knees slightly: "General... please allow me to take my leave."
That effeminate tone, isn't it perfectly executed?
Pfft—
Wei Yao couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. He covered his mouth and quickly looked up at the sky, afraid that if he looked any longer, he would laugh even harder.
What a talent!
She probably forgot what she looked like now. A handsome young man, yet he acted with a delicate and pretentious demeanor and made such incongruous movements. The contrast was simply amazing.
Wang Zebang was stunned by Zheng Quchi's actions, but seeing Wei Yao laughing so exaggeratedly, he felt it was disrespectful to the general. As a subordinate, how could he be so rude?
He glared at Wei Yao with displeasure, signaling him to restrain himself.
Fu Rong also turned his head away, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Judging from their reactions, Zheng Quchi knew that he was probably a conspicuous culprit.
On the surface, she was filled with shame and indignation, but in her heart, she was desperately encouraging herself. Well done! She didn't believe Yuwen Sheng could tolerate such a disgraceful wife.
However, Yuwen Sheng acted as if he hadn't seen it. He raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke in the tone of a good ruler who dotes on his wife: "My lady, I will keep my promise to you. During this time, you should learn the skills from those craftsmen. Every night I will send someone to fetch you to the main camp. You'd better not wander off. If he can't find you, I will come to find you myself."
Zheng Quchi: "...Don't worry, I definitely won't run around."
This is a threat, isn't it? Yes, this is definitely a threat.
"Okay, then be good." After praising her, Yuwen Sheng glanced at Wei Yao with his eyes hidden behind his long eyelashes.
