"Huh?" Miss Lu was a bit bewildered by Yun Qian’s sudden words.
What did she an?
Yun Qian looked at her.
Miss Lu said she had her own objectives, and Yun Qian, of course, wouldn’t show favoritism. She would always give these ladies a chance to make a wish.
"If there’s anything you want, you can tell ," Yun Qian said.
"..." Miss Lu blinked at these words, then lightly smiled, "Miss... you’re sowhat like Ms. Zhu."
Zhu Pingniang also liked to ask the young maids about their wishes, using it to peek into their hearts or inspire them.
She laughed with so sentint, "It’s just that, your thoughts and my sister’s... must be different."
Yun Qian didn’t try to grasp the aning behind Miss Lu’s words. She just looked at her and softly said, "Is there nothing you want?"
"? I’m quite satisfied with my current life, of course, there isn’t anything I want," Miss Lu replied with so confusion. "Miss Yun, do I... really look like soone with a wish?"
"You are a greedy person, so you ought to have a wish," Yun Qian said calmly.
"...Oh." Miss Lu was taken aback, then helplessly covered her face.
There was no way to refute that.
After all, she was the one who said she was greedy, wasn’t she?
Of course, she had wishes, but to actually wish in front of Yun Qian... what was this girl thinking?
Giving Yun Qian a curious look, Miss Lu bit her lip, seeming to recall so regrettable past. She leaned on the table, tilting her head to look at Yun Qian.
"Your words... make recall the wish I once shared with Ms. Zhu, thinking back now... it’s quite embarrassing."
"What was the wish?" Yun Qian looked at her.
"Back then, I wanted... to find a suitable man, so I asked for Ms. Zhu’s help," Miss Lu said, blushing as she laughed. "As a young girl, I always wanted a perfect man to depend on. Which girl doesn’t want a husband she can rely on and act spoiled with... at least, that’s what I hoped for."
She spoke with a sense of nostalgia.
"Back then, I wanted soone to depend on, but now... I’ve ended up supporting the Flower Moon Building, becoming the pillar for those young maids..."
But deep down, she was still a little woman, far from the iron lady they spoke of...
It truly was frustrating.
She pouted, her tone tinged with a bit of yearning, "Miss Yun, rembering it now... I did such a foolish thing back then, asking Ms. Zhu to help pick a man for ... like she had the capability?"
Expecting Zhu Pingniang to find her a man was as likely as expecting her to undergo a second growth spurt.
"So, you... want a man?" Yun Qian mused.
"Just talking casually, why so serious, Miss Yun?" Miss Lu looked at her strangely.
She was really just chatting casually with Yun Qian, after all, becoming good friends and reminiscing about past events was a good way to bond.
"It’s nothing..." Yun Qian looked in the direction of Xu Chang’an, lowered her head and said softly, "I just realized there are things I can’t accomplish."
Just like how she couldn’t eat spicy food or have children, now there was one more thing she couldn’t do—
She couldn’t fulfill Miss Lu’s wish.
Finding her a man.
Because Yun Qian knew that at present, no matter what, she couldn’t convince Xu Chang’an to take another girl, so this wish, she simply couldn’t fulfill.
"...?" Miss Lu didn’t quite grasp it, her expression was odd.
?
Why did it sound like... Yun Qian was seriously considering finding her a man?
No way...
This girl didn’t seem very bright, could she really have a knack for matchmaking?
How could that be?
Miss Lu completely doubted it, being a matchmaker required excellent social skills, and Yun Qian, who barely left the house and hardly knew a few won, let alone n?
She had every reason to believe that Yun Qian hadn’t even spoken to a second man so far, what could she possibly use to matchmake for her? And she even acted like she’d given it serious thought.
Wait.
Serious thought?
Miss Lu suddenly went blank.
Yun Qian naturally wasn’t the type to pretend, so if she seriously considered it, it ant... she genuinely thought about finding her a man.
But she only knew Young Master Xu...
No way...
Miss Lu’s heart pounded, echoing in her head like a great bell.
Yun Qian... could she be thinking of introducing her to Young Master Xu...
After all, Yun Qian had previously said she liked her, and also ntioned bringing in Shen Ben as a concubine for Xu Chang’an.
At this mont, Miss Lu pieced together the truth from subtle clues.
Was she happy?
Honestly... not at all!
Instead, at that mont, Miss Lu felt very anxious, her heart racing not out of shyness, but fear.
She did like Young Master Xu, but never considered becoming a concubine or anything, at most she thought about being a chambermaid or sothing... so, if Yun Qian truly expressed the idea of matchmaking her with the Young Master, she would have to flee.
She couldn’t possibly ruin Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian’s relationship; that was sothing she absolutely couldn’t do now.
Watching from the sidelines and becoming friends with Yun Qian was already enough.
In that mont, Miss Lu suddenly understood why Liu Qingluo always avoided things; she used to laugh at Qingluo for being cowardly, but now that the situation fell upon her, she realized she wasn’t much stronger than Qingluo.
