Feeling the long breaths and faint rouge scent from the woman before her, Miss Lu’s body shivered suddenly, she retreated three steps, stamring.
"Zhu, Zhu... sister."
"Don’t call sister, I should be calling you sister." Zhu Pingniang glared at Miss Lu.
Just after she touched up her makeup, thinking the Ni Zi took a long ti, and felt today’s rain was odd, she wanted to pick up the girl earlier.
But then, the Ni Zi was there speaking ill of her.
"It’s alright for to be hungry for a mont, isn’t it?" Zhu Pingniang smiled.
"..." Miss Lu swallowed, gently retreating with a parasol: "Sister, this is a misunderstanding."
"No worries, I deserve to starve." Zhu Pingniang smiled warmly, then quietly, a short whip appeared in her palm, she skillfully twirled it in her hand, then tilted her head: "Ni Zi, what did you just say about to Ms. Yun?"
Miss Lu: "..."
Seeing Miss Lu not speaking, Zhu Pingniang suddenly realized: "Oh, you said... I’m a bad woman, warning Xu Chang’an to be careful of ?"
Zhu Pingniang was truly speechless.
Such words, just say casually usually, but in Yun Qian’s presence, doesn’t it ruin her plans?
"Ms. Zhu, I was just speaking casually, the gentleman didn’t respond either." Miss Lu retreated continuously as Zhu Pingniang approached, she whispered: "Besides... it’s the boundaries when you were with the gentleman at noon, that weren’t handled well."
"Still arguing, you ungrateful person!!" Zhu Pingniang heard Miss Lu still reasoning and got enraged, she swung her hand hard, the short whip suddenly accelerated, snapping on the rain-soaked ground with a crisp sound.
Then, the whip splashed with water rebounded onto Miss Lu’s skirt leg.
Zhu Pingniang really hit when she did, even though it was just rebounding off the ground, the force was strong enough to be fierce.
On Miss Lu’s fair calf appeared a bright red mark, enough to make an average girl cry.
Zhu Pingniang angrily pointed at Miss Lu’s face, scolding: "Clearly, other people’s Ni Zi always support their kin, yet why is your elbow pointing outward!!!"
Though she knows what she did wasn’t good, it’s not up to her own child to criticize, right?
No matter how she thinks, even if she did sothing wrong, Miss Lu should unwaveringly stand by her side.
Helping kin instead of reasoning, isn’t that common sense for a girl?
Speaking of herself being a bad woman to Xu Chang’an, that’s surely wrong.
Seeing Zhu Pingniang getting angry, losing that previous indifferent deanor, Miss Lu instead breathed a sigh of relief.
Leg burning hot with pain, but long used to it.
With her sotis mischievous nature, she’s been whipped like a spinning top since young, but after growing up, to maintain her dignity, Zhu Pingniang rarely hit her.
Now this ti, it actually feels nostalgic.
Moreover...
The key is, after Zhu Pingniang cracked the whip, her anger visibly dissipated.
Miss Lu tilted her head, softly saying: "Sister is right, you say... if Miss Qin was by your side, she would support kin rather than reason, wouldn’t she?"
"Nonsense, Qin’Er would surely support ..."
Zhu Pingniang said, then t Miss Lu’s half-smiling gaze, snorted, and said no more.
Though whatever she says Qinling will surely stand firmly by her side, yet that girl’s existence is extrely dangerous to her.
Indeed.
Zhu Pingniang appears high and mighty, but still feels Qinling is dangerous, because having such a daughter who she can’t bear to hit or scold, even if neglected, would always be thinking about her... The key is this girl always thinks about ’eating’ her, hard not to be dangerous.
"See, I said sister can’t do without Miss Qin." Miss Lu sighed: "Sister, if you think I’m not thoughtful enough, let Miss Qin return, then I would have soone to compete with, so I wouldn’t be fearless, relying only on your love and speaking ill of you behind your back."
"Stop pleading for Qin’Er." Zhu Pingniang walked over, wrapped the whip in hand and pressed it on Miss Lu’s shoulder, puzzled: "You and Qin’Er haven’t truly t, always speaking for her, why."
"Because Miss Qin... no." Miss Lu seriously said: "Because Ms. Qin helps kin not reason, with her around, sister wouldn’t be bullied."
"Bah, who dares to bully ." Zhu Pingniang spat.
"...?" Miss Lu pointed at her own face.
"..." Zhu Pingniang’s eye twitched, she raised her hand and twisted Ni Zi’s arm, watching Miss Lu’s mouth twitch involuntarily, then said: "So, what’s the truth?"
"The truth..." Miss Lu sighed: "I suppose it’s a warning from the past, a lesson for the future."
"Oh? So this ti you don’t say a warning from the past, please think thrice."
Miss Lu shook her head: "At this mont, thinking thrice doesn’t work, need soone to support."
"What do you an?" Zhu Pingniang was puzzled.
Miss Lu pointed to the sky with one hand: "Sister always thinks I speak well for Miss Qin, but in fact... I’m helping myself."
