"Could it be that Wen Li likes Yun Qian, and that’s why she can’t see her true feelings for Xu Chang’an?"
Zhu Pingniang thought to herself.
Yun Qian didn’t think so.
Although she had spent so ti alone with Miss Wen, Wen Li’s thoughts were mostly about Xu Chang’an, aside from teaching her the basics of cultivation.
For example, she invited Wen Li to her room to look at Xu Chang’an’s calligraphy and paintings together, and Wen Li was very interested.
For example, Wen Li would occasionally brew a cup of Xu Chang’an’s handmade Small Mountain Tea while teaching her.
Yun Qian couldn’t quite pin down Wen Li’s personality, but she always appreciated girls who were straightforward about their affections.
Speaking of which...
Many girls did indeed turn their gaze towards her, even though... these gazes should rightfully be on her husband.
Had she taken sothing from her husband?
Holding the warm tea in her hands, Yun Qian took a gentle sip and then glanced at Miss Lu, who had been occasionally sneaking glances her way since earlier.
Feeling Yun Qian’s gaze, Miss Lu turned her face to pretend she was pouring tea, her earrings swinging.
This Miss Yun... is so beautiful.
She wasn’t the pure-hearted type like Zhu Pingniang, but just looking at Yun Qian... she couldn’t help but imagine Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an having intimate conversations, which felt thrilling.
"Do you like looking at ?" Yun Qian asked.
"Pfft." Miss Lu spat out a mouthful of water, soaking her skirt.
She coughed a few tis, stood up to wipe the water stains on her skirt, her pretty face blushing red: "Miss Yun, what... what are you saying."
"Did I say sothing wrong?" Yun Qian tilted her head, "So... you don’t like looking at ?"
Miss Lu: "..."
How was she supposed to respond to that?
She looked toward the colorful flags on the ship railing ruffled by the wind and rain, and said softly: "I... I like it."
Rather than denying it out of embarrassnt, she couldn’t bring herself to say she didn’t like it against her heart.
What left Miss Lu helpless was that Yun Qian rely asked the question, nodded to show she understood, and then said nothing more.
Why didn’t she say more?
Continue questioning .
Miss Lu’s face flushed even redder.
This suddenly making her confess to liking Yun Qian without giving her a chance to explain, sounded so much like confessing to the girl.
She didn’t an it that way.
Even though Miss Lu could accept liking won, she still felt she should find a man first. Otherwise, wouldn’t it waste this female body she was born into?
Yun Qian had nothing more to ask, for she had realized that all of her husband’s associations... really liked looking at her.
From Li Zhibai calling her "sister," to Zhu Pingniang rubbing her hand, to Liu Qingluo speaking to her with a flushed face, to Ah Qing occasionally sneaking a glance at her back, and... just now, Miss Lu quickly glanced at her neck and then looked away like a thief.
No, perhaps it shouldn’t have started with Li Zhibai.
It started with Gu Qiancheng, after all, she ca earlier.
No matter if Gu Qiancheng was her husband’s fateful association or a heaven-sent daughter, her gaze was firmly fixed on her husband, not herself.
It turned out that since then, all of this had started to take root.
Yun Qian blinked, lowering her head.
How did it co to this?
Originally, Yun Qian shouldn’t have liked such things, but she asked Xu Chang’an and learned that he wouldn’t be upset about her being liked by others. In fact... he wanted to see such situations.
According to Xu Chang’an, this would help her make friends.
As sothing that would make Xu Chang’an happy, Yun Qian didn’t know how to handle it.
Even in the books her husband wrote, there was no ntion of what a wife should do when concubines left their husband to focus on her...
So, Yun Qian didn’t know what to do.
Now it seed, only Miss Wen was more focused on her husband than herself among Xu Chang’an’s connections, so... Yun Qian thought Wen Li was doing well. At present, Wen Li was better than any girl.
Oh, and also Xiaohua.
Xiaohua also liked her husband a lot but was very afraid of herself.
But Wen Li and Xiaohua’s relationship... was so close, yet fundantally only Wen Li was dedicated.
At this mont, Miss Yun, holding her teacup, had a glimr of uncertainty in her eyes about what to do.
If the other girls could be like Wen Li and only have eyes for her husband, Yun Qian thought things would be easier and she’d be much happier.
Just like Zhu Pingniang, Yun Qian imagined if she really had a tea party with the girls, with Xu Chang’an smiling and watching from the side...
He could laugh about it.
At this thought, Yun Qian was a little dazed.
She couldn’t foresee her husband’s future, so she couldn’t say whether such things would happen or not.
But from what it looked like now, it seed possible.
So at this mont, in Yun Qian’s eyes, who felt she was in trouble, Wen Li’s presence beca all the more valuable.
This Miss Wen was truly a remarkable person.
If she treated Wen Li well enough, making Wen Li the most capable person, could Wen Li guide the other misguided girls onto the right path?
While Yun Qian was contemplating this, she felt a gentle tug on her clothes. She looked over to see Miss Lu’s blushing cheeks.
"Miss Yun, won’t you give a chance to explain..." Miss Lu’s voice had a touch of shy annoyance.
