After leaving the teahouse, the two walked silently for a long time before Nangong Yi finally said quietly, "Let Brother Ying take a look. Some things can't be avoided by hiding; they must be faced when the time comes."
Cai Wei hesitated for a moment before letting Brother Ying out to take a look at Mingzhu's situation.
As expected, after a glance, Brother Ying exclaimed, "Master, the princess—she's changed her appearance and looks older than you now!"
Even though they were prepared mentally, hearing their daughter had aged into an elder, Nangong Yi and Cai Wei couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
When they left, Mingzhu was seventeen; in the blink of an eye, forty years had passed. Now she was fifty-seven or fifty-eight, and nearly sixty years old. How could she not change her appearance?
"Have another look at Jin'er and Yu'er. Are they both doing well?"
Brother Ying widened his eyes and looked a few more times before squawking, "They're fine, just changed too..."
