After all, it was true that Miss Lu said she liked Xu Chang’an; she could tell it wasn’t a lie.
From this, she was already much stronger than Qinling, as Miss Lu posed no threat to her at all.
"Ms. Zhu, you’re being a bit biased," Miss Lu said, looking discontentedly at her.
"What?" Zhu Pingniang didn’t understand.
"Why is it that when Miss Qin likes you, your reaction is so big, but when I like you, you don’t even show a hint of disdain..." Miss Lu rubbed her fingers, "Could it be that, in your heart, I’m just like those girls in the brothel who like you, totally dispensable?"
Just as Qinling envied her for being able to stay by Zhu Pingniang’s side, she also envied Qinling for occupying such a large place in Zhu Pingniang’s heart.
Why did Zhu Pingniang disdain Qinling? It was because she cared too much about this eldest daughter.
"Are you silly, getting jealous over this too?" Zhu Pingniang covered her face.
"I don’t care, I like you, so you should also avoid a bit... how can you just let take advantage of you freely," Miss Lu puffed her cheeks, like a little girl throwing a tantrum.
"You said it, so I’ll just ask Huang’Er to scrub my back when I shower from now on."
"She dares?" Miss Lu raised her eyebrows: "I’ll break her legs if I see it."
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
Mmm, indeed one of her own girls.
Won always have an understanding of their own charm, people like Xu Chang’an who are completely immune are rare, Zhu Pingniang was not surprised at all that she was well liked, but she found it a bit strange.
"Girl, when you said ’heartwarming,’ were you talking about ?" she asked curiously.
"About you, and about Young Master Xu," Miss Lu waved her hand: "For those better than , I always want to try liking them a bit."
"..." For a mont, Zhu Pingniang was speechless, but she still asked, "Can you tell ... when and in what scenario did you feel heartwarming towards ?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Lu clenched her fist: "My good sister, do you really have to ask this way? I’m a woman too, I have my pride."
"Tell , I need a reference." Zhu Pingniang was not shy at all, she genuinely wanted to find sothing similar in Miss Lu to figure out what kind of feelings she had for Li Zhibai.
"You’re really sothing," Miss Lu sighed lightly and said, "Actually, asked like this, I don’t really know how to say it, but I first realized I might like won a few years ago, on a morning when I was doing your hair... yet you insisted on doing it yourself."
Sitting alone for a while in the little xuan makeup area, taking ti to arrange hairpins.
Back then, Zhu Pingniang drank in the morning, sitting tipsily in front of the makeup table doing her own makeup.
Miss Lu still rembers back then Zhu Pingniang was wearing a light green dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, tied back naturally, revealing her delicate profile and ears, with bangs brushed to the side, her skillful movents making the heart race.
What truly made her heart race was when Zhu Pingniang took a rouge paper and bit on it, leaving clear lines before turning back to her with a gentle smile.
That was the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen.
It was from that mont, already having been Zhu Pingniang’s maid for many years, Miss Lu suddenly realized she liked won.
Really liked, really really liked.
"Just like that?" Zhu Pingniang blinked: "I thought I did sothing to move you... why is it different from how it’s written in novels."
Zhu Pingniang said disappointedly: "Girl, you’re unexpectedly pure-hearted."
"I’m just that hopeless!" Miss Lu got anxious, originally thinking it was nothing, being underestimated by Zhu Pingniang instead made her face flush red.
"Girl, do you think... if I ask Chang’an tonight why he likes Miss Yun, would that be appropriate?" Zhu Pingniang asked.
Upon hearing this, Miss Lu raised her head: "Appropriate... if you want to be the Young Master’s concubine, why wouldn’t it be appropriate?"
"Pah, if you can’t say anything nice, just shut your mouth." Zhu Pingniang gave her a sidelong glance.
"Sister, if you’re troubled because of so girl from the Immortal Sect, why not ask her directly," Miss Lu reminded Zhu Pingniang.
She didn’t even feel anything discussing embarrassing topics with herself, what else could she not ask.
"What do you understand, Ah Bai dislikes my troubleso nature the most, I’m afraid as soon as I start, she’ll want to kick out," Zhu Pingniang pouted.
Miss Lu spread her hands, indicating she didn’t want to get involved in her matters.
Actually, Miss Lu thought that her Zhu sister was the unexpectedly pure-hearted one; seemingly charming and enchanting, but once you peel her layers you find... she’s as pure as a little white flower, it’s hard to imagine what kind of environnt she grew up in to be this knowledgeable yet so pure.
But that’s not sothing she could say.
"Sister, you always say Miss Qin is troubleso, but... I’ve followed you for so many years, and I’ve never seen her once, let alone seen her bother you."
Miss Lu was still very curious about Qinling, who was her nominal "big sister," and she asked puzzledly: "If you care about Miss Qin, why do you keep avoiding her... isn’t that not very good?"
"What do you understand." Zhu Pingniang thought about the love letter in the envelope, a twitch in her eye: "She seems serious, but when it involves my matters... tsk, it was who took her everywhere back then."
Now she regrets it very much.
Qinling was, in a way, led astray by her.
"If you don’t explain, of course I won’t understand." Miss Lu watched her.
"How should I put it." Zhu Pingniang explained: "She gave Chang’an a few elixirs to take back for Miss Yun to use."
"Elixirs? Immortal Sect’s elixirs? To prolong life?" Miss Lu’s eyes sparkled: "To make a woman look more beautiful?"
"Beautiful? After taking those elixirs, she will naturally be beautiful, you must know the things from Tripod Heart Peak are world’s apart from... worldly dicine in terms of efficacy." Zhu Pingniang chuckled, "But the main effect, is still in bed..."
She whispered a few words into Miss Lu’s ear.
Not long after, a layer of blood rose to Miss Lu’s ears, her pretty face turned red, she stamred: "i Jiao... how can Miss Qin!!! Could it be Young Master Xu wants to use that kind of dicine on Miss Yun?"
Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian’s life together was not harmonious?
That must be it.
After all, Miss Yun in Beisang City never goes out except to eat, always in a cold deanor, she might indeed not be interested in the matters of a couple.
She’s not interested, so does Young Master Xu have to use dicine?
Miss Lu widened her eyes.
Young Master Xu is such a good person, Yun Qian is really just wasting it.
No, that’s not right.
Moreover, why was it that Miss Qin gave the dicine, and wasn’t that Immortal Sect? How could there be pink ointnts not even allowed in modern brothels now?
"Let’s not talk about how the stuff is," Zhu Pingniang pointed to the sky, "But just say, if Qin’Er can do sothing like this, how good a person could she be?"
"That, that’s hard to say." Miss Lu’s face flushed, "For all we know... the Young Master is also willing to use it, Miss Qin just helped him, you can’t really call it bad."
"Oh?" Zhu Pingniang smiled gently, withdrew her hand and pointed to herself, asking: "In your opinion, who do you think Qin’Er prepared this dicine for at ho?"
"Of course it’s for you..." Miss Lu said, suddenly shivered, and drew a breath.
She finally realized, her liking is not on the sa level as that of the Immortal Sect’s Miss Qin....
She rely liked, but Qinling wanted to consu.
"Now you understand." Zhu Pingniang stretched, "She is truly troubleso... But it also reminded to figure out if sealing Ah Bai’s cultivation and using so charm items would have any effect."
Miss Lu: "..."
aning to associate with positive influence, to associate with negative influence.
Through Qinling, she unlocked so of Zhu Pingniang’s past personality... trembling slightly.
She decided to retract her assessnt of Zhu Pingniang as a little white flower.
Also decided not to get involved in the affairs of Qinling and Zhu Pingniang again, or else who knows if she’ll get drawn into it.
She certainly didn’t want to take that dicine.
Besides, at this ti, Miss Lu was more interested in another matter.
Did Xu Chang’an accept the elixirs because he intends to use them on his wife...?
——
In the distance, Yun Qian, waiting for Xu Chang’an’s return, tilted her head and asked the Rowing Maiden.
"Have you ever tasted elixirs made from charm items? How do they taste."
"...?"
