She had been excitedly unable to contain herself for this moment, and were it not for maintaining her graceful posture and proud demeanor in front of these two "country bumpkins," she believed she would have been obsessing over her own face on the table instead of Xia Zheng and Lin Yi.

Although she had seen her reflection in bronze mirrors and river water more than once before, seeing it this clearly today was a first. It had to be said, Lin Yuan’s skin was truly beautiful, full of collagen, plump and smooth, other than the two small bumps on her forehead, her face had not a single blackhead.

No, no, once she finished making the mirror, she would definitely sleep with it! There’d be no need to drool over any young fresh meat—she could just look at herself!

She chuckled silently to herself and by the time Lin Yuan came back to her senses, she realized Xia Zheng and Lin Yi were indeed blushing with excitement and clapping their hands, almost as if they were about to turn their palms into minced pork trotters—it was quite adorable.

"Ahem, alright, I’ve felt your enthusiasm. Now let’s talk about the second matter."

Pressing down her surging emotions, Lin Yuan hooked her lips, and raised two fingers, "The second matter is simple. Everything you’ve seen and heard today, swallow it back down into your stomach.

Don’t reveal a single word to anyone, not even if it’s your own parents, the lover of your dreams, or even sworn brothers who’ve shared life and death with you. Do you understand?"

Xia Zheng nodded like a pecking chicken, then hesitantly raised his hand, a bit aggrieved, "Yuanyuan, can I talk to you about it? You are my dream lover, I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t talk to you."

Lin Yuan: "..."

This mirror really was a mirror revealing monsters; it had instantly reflected Xia Zheng’s foolish nature. It seemed she should let him use the mirror less in the future.

Counting on her fingers, Lin Yuan introduced the third matter, "Third, and what you care about the most. As long as you don’t leak this matter, I will give you each a piece of the finished Rhombus mirror as a reward, especially Lin Yi, to thank you for your dedication these past few days, and for driving away those two petty thieves. "

With Lin Yuan’s praise, Lin Yi’s originally somewhat stiff face suddenly lit up considerably with excitement and delight, although Lin Yuan knew it was not because he was praised but because he could get a mirror.

"Next, I will talk about the fourth matter..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish, Lin Yi somewhat disdainfully curled his lips, "Didn’t you say there were three points? How come there’s a fourth matter now?"

Lin Yuan twitched her lips, awkwardly retorted, "I just thought of something else on the spot, okay? Don’t speak. If you speak again, you won’t get your mirror!"

Lin Yi’s face twitched, and glancing at the brightly mildly reflective mirror, he ultimately swallowed the words he was about to say.

Scratching her head, Lin Yuan decided not to fuss over the number of matters and simply said, "There’s one more most important thing, that is how to cut this large piece of mirror into smaller pieces."

She obviously couldn’t carry such a large mirror every day to look at herself—it was really inconvenient.

Speaking of this, Xia Zheng’s intelligence instantly returned to normal, as he patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry about this; I’ve already thought of it."

It turned out that when Xia Zheng had sent people to the Western Region to buy Glaze, he had already considered how to cut the Glaze. Thus, he spent some Silver there to buy the special tools used by glaziers for cutting and also learned the method.

In the Western Region, Glaze was very common, and the method of cutting it was not a secret, which is why Xia Zheng’s men had easily learned the method.

Hearing him say this, Lin Yuan felt relieved, turned around, and looking at the large piece of Glaze, she had already figured out how to cut it.

Leaving Lin Yi to guard the cellar door, instructing him not to allow anyone in, not even Liu Limin and his people, Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng left He family village together.

Xia Zheng turned around and went to Xia Family Barracks to find some Hidden Guards he had previously sent to the Western Region who had learned the Glaze cutting method, while Lin Yuan returned to Lin Mansion to find Lin Jiaxin for those mirror frames he was supposed to make.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

As she entered the study, Lin Yuan saw Lin Jiaxin sitting at the desk, head down concentrating on carving something. Startled by Lin Yuan’s sudden call, Lin Jiaxin’s hand trembled slightly, and if it were not for his many years of carving skills, he might have ruined the object in front of him.
