"How about you change your surna to Xu?" Yun Qian asked with great interest, "Xu sounds nicer."
Miss Lu: "..."
Outside the window, rain fell on the window sill with a crisp sound, like the slightly accelerated heartbeat of the young lady.
Miss Lu stared blankly at Yun Qian, holding her breath for quite a while without coming up with a response.
"???"
Changing the surna is out of the question.
She wasn’t entirely unable to understand, after all, the surna ’Lu’ indeed brought her nothing but bad things... But even if she really wanted to change her surna, she should logically follow Zhu Pingniang and change it to Zhu.
If she really didn’t want the surna Zhu, she might as well use the "Flower" character from "Flower Moon Building" as her surna, which would be reasonable.
The only one without justification would be changing her surna to "Xu."
So Miss Lu was stunned for a while, with a bit of hesitation on her face.
Yun Qian... couldn’t possibly want to have her beco a concubine for Xu Chang’an, could she...
It’s not surprising that Miss Lu overthought it, as Yun Qian’s words were quite easy to misunderstand... suggesting changing her surna to Xu pretty much implied wanting to stamp Xu Chang’an’s mark on her.
But Miss Lu felt there was sothing off about this.
Even if marrying soone ant taking his surna, there wasn’t... there wasn?t a rule that required changing to the husband’s surna.
With a flushed face, Miss Lu thought even if a woman indeed marries, at most... at most she’d be called ’Madam Xu,’ there’s no reason for a direct surna change.
Ah...
What kind of shaful thoughts was she having.
Miss Lu’s face burned, she murmured, "Miss Yun, please don’t mock , why would I randomly need to change my surna to Xu."
"Because Xu sounds nicer." Yun Qian said seriously.
Miss Lu really was made embarrassed by Yun Qian’s attitude, she bit her lip, helplessly said, "Then what about your na, miss?"
"The ’Yun’ from clouds, and ’Qian’ as in stranding. I like it very much, he also said it sounds nice." Yun Qian said earnestly, "No need to change it."
A heart higher than the sky, a cloud now stranded on the husband... To Yun Qian, this was the best annotation.
"The young master said it sounded nice... that too." Miss Lu sneaked a glance at Yun Qian.
Although Yun Qian said that, she still felt Yun Qian seed sowhat unsatisfied.
Ssss...
This Miss Yun... wasn’t it her herself who wanted to have the surna Xu but couldn’t, thus... giving herself the suggestion to change to Xu’s surna too.
The more she thought about it, the more possible it seed.
The reason it occurred to her was that Miss Lu realized Yun Qian actually cared about how people addressed her.
Didn’t she just say she hoped Xu Chang’an wouldn’t always call her "Miss?"
So at that mont, with such a guess, Miss Lu no longer felt embarrassed because she found Yun Qian having her change her surna to Xu wasn’t teasing, it might purely be Yun Qian’s wish, and had nothing to do with her.
Thinking Yun Qian wanted her to marry and change suitor’s surna, was utterly shaless fantasy.
"Miss Yun."
"Hmm?"
"You... don’t want to call you... Miss Yun right." Miss Lu tentatively asked in a small voice.
"?" Yun Qian blinked, gave her a strange look, "What do you an."
Not calling her Miss Yun, then what?
Ms. Yun?
Ms. Yun?
Junior Sister Yun?
These three titles ca from Gu Qiancheng, Li Zhibai, and Wen Li respectively.
Yun Qian got used to the most of them, among which was Miss Yun, especially since even Xu Chang’an often called her like that.
"I’ll try calling you, if you don’t like it, please don’t get angry with ... ah." Miss Lu blinked, looking sowhat apprehensive at Yun Qian.
"Hmm." Yun Qian nodded, she truly didn’t know what Miss Lu was thinking.
Titles?
No matter what Miss Lu called her, she should not mind.
Miss Lu took a deep breath and then whispered, "Madam... Madam Xu?"
Yun Qian: "..."
——
In this world, there are always such clever girls, just by this sentence... making Miss Yun realize she had misunderstood.
She really cares.
Whereas in the perspective of Miss Lu, she felt a bit anxious.
Would Yun Qian like such a title? Did she misunderstand...?
After all, Madam sounds intimate, but everyone knows calling young won Madam ages them, since Madam sounds like they’re not young anymore, unlike Miss which radiates youth.
Although Miss Lu considered herself quite good at understanding won’s thoughts, Yun Qian was different from all the girls she had t, so she couldn’t assert her own thoughts were definitely right.
If Yun Qian got angry, she would have to apologize imdiately.
Sneakily glanced at Yun Qian, trying to discern her reaction.
Before she could see Yun Qian’s thoughts, she herself blushed.
Really beautiful.
The slightly yellowed lamplight made Yun Qian in a pale blue gown look almost like a fairy descending into the mortal world, her original snow-white skin under the warmth exuding a healthy blush, making her more charming.
Miss Lu instinctively felt shy, she instinctively placed her hand near her face, feeling the warmth upon it.
What baffled her was...
Yun Qian also made such an action.
Yes, Yun Qian also... touched her own face, as if she felt her cheeks were a bit hot too.
So that’s what it was.
Miss Lu’s suspended heart finally settled in her stomach.
Though Yun Qian wasn’t like her with a face turning red, but... apparently, Yun Qian was very receptive to the ’Madam Xu.’
Miss Lu couldn’t help but secretly smile.
Indeed she was very adept at understanding won’s thoughts.
At this mont, Yun Qian looked over, Miss Lu t Yun Qian’s gaze, she blinked, stood up, and poured Yun Qian another glass of juice, and then called out again.
"Madam Xu?"
Only this ti, unlike her previous apprehension, Miss Lu now had a slight smile on her face.
"...Hmm." Yun Qian responded to this call, looking at this charming lady.
She really liked this title.
And, Miss Lu was also very endearing.
At this mont, Miss Lu beca the one from those fates, the one Yun Qian liked the most.
"Indeed, I wasn’t mistaken." Miss Lu covered her face lightly laughing.
Yun Qian cared so much about the surna Xu, it was definitely not about taking a concubine, it was Yun Qian’s own preference.
Just like Yun Qian herself said, she simply felt that ’Xu’ sounds nice, therefore recomnding it.
"I like how you address this way." Yun Qian held her tea cup.
"I know... but, Miss... no, since Madam likes it, why not tell the young master." Miss Lu said looking at Yun Qian, "You like it, tell him, let him address you this way."
Yun Qian listened, blinked.
Calling Madam, calling young master... sounded sowhat strange together, as if they called her husband’s mother.
"I’ve already ntioned it, he didn’t agree." Yun Qian said calmly, visibly... a bit disappointed.
"Didn’t agree?" Miss Lu paused for a mont, then imdiately said, "Maybe it’s because this way of addressing ages a young lady?"
Not really.
"The young master... probably has his reasons, don’t take it to heart." Miss Lu said nervously.
Miss Lu hearing Xu Chang’an didn’t agree suddenly felt a little flustered.
She hoped she wasn’t causing trouble again.
Since Xu Chang’an didn’t like it, she certainly shouldn’t call her "Madam" anymore.
"I understand." Yun Qian thought for a mont, said, "But he didn’t dislike it... you can continue calling this."
"Understood..." Miss Lu chuckled awkwardly.
Seems, she should just stop being smart to avoid more trouble.
Change the topic of conversation.
She coughed lightly, muttering.
"Why hasn’t Ms. Zhu returned yet, probably because she’s focused her attention on Miss Wen?"
Words expressing dissatisfaction towards Zhu Pingniang.
Thinking she turned to Yun Qian.
"By the way, Miss Yun..."
"..."
"Madam Xu."
"Hmm."
"I forgot to ask... after learning about Miss Wen, did the young master tell you how to treat this lady from the Immortal Sect?"
Miss Lu didn’t have much fondness for Wen Li, who openly expressed liking Xu Chang’an in front of Yun Qian, but she knew it was wrong to slander others without basis.
So knowing Xu Chang’an’s attitude towards Wen Li would sowhat reveal the true nature of this Miss Wen.
