Chapter 531 - 0317 Parenting Insights (2-in-1)

"Chang’an, how did the Jade Dew Wine I gave Ah Bai end up in Qin’Er’s hands!"

Zhu Pingniang’s fingers trembled as she held the letter filled with Qinling’s affections, feeling Qinling’s smug expression almost manifest through the paper.

After the previous trials, Xu Chang’an had easily guessed Zhu Pingniang’s "breakdown."

It’s hard not to break, her feelings were passed on by Li Zhibai to someone else... And that someone was even a person who liked her.

It’s like the person you like introducing you to a matchmaking candidate...

It’s practically killing two birds with one stone.

"Ms. Zhu," Xu Chang’an said cautiously, "The wine ended up in Junior Master Qin’s hands because the teacher voluntarily sent it over."

"What kind of respect is that?" Zhu Pingniang gritted her teeth, understanding it but unable to quell her anger.

Xu Chang’an called her sister, yet called Qinling Junior Master, putting Qinling a generation above her.

However, Zhu Pingniang reconsidered and nodded, "Yes, call her Senior, outlive that Qin’Er."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

"The wine..." Zhu Pingniang calmed down a bit, unwillingly asked, "Chang’an, Ah Bai... did drink it, right? She didn’t just pass it to Qin’Er without drinking it... right."

"Mm." Xu Chang’an looked at Zhu Pingniang’s pitiful expression and sighed softly, speaking with much more tenderness, "Didn’t I just say, when I went, the teacher heated the wine and drank it herself... Probably she didn’t like it, hence gave it to Junior Master Qin, after all, it’d be inappropriate to keep it opened."

"Don’t make excuses for her, why not side with me?" Zhu Pingniang gritted her teeth, talking as she picked up Qinling’s letter to read the romantic words Qinling wrote for her.

"That Qin’Er is truly shameless. She accepts it when Ah Bai gives it? Doesn’t know to return it? Also, she could write such things, listen to what she can say, I am her mother..."

Xu Chang’an watched Zhu Pingniang break down, with a black line appearing on his forehead: "..."

Manipulated.

He was manipulated by Zhu Pingniang, and in a turn, Zhu Pingniang was completely manipulated by Qinling.

Back then, hearing Qinling say Zhu Pingniang might read the letter aloud to embarrass her, Xu Chang’an thought it impossible, Senior Zhu wouldn’t do such things.

But unexpectedly, Qinling guessed it exactly right.

Actually, Qinling initially told Xu Chang’an not to let Zhu Pingniang open the letter on the spot, but later felt if Xu Chang’an didn’t pay attention, Zhu Pingniang might throw the letter away, hence changed her approach.

At present, this Junior Master Qin... is much more formidable than she appears.

"Ms. Zhu, calm down." Xu Chang’an heard Zhu Pingniang already read part of it, holding his head, "Give some face to the Junior Master..."

Is this something he could listen to?

"Face?" Zhu Pingniang asked, halting her actions, "She sent you such a letter, didn’t consider needing face before you, why would she want face, why should I give her face."

"If the teacher gave it to Junior Master Qin, there’s no reason for the Junior Master not to accept it." Xu Chang’an was earnestly fulfilling what he promised Qinling, not letting Zhu Pingniang lose her face.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

She stared at Xu Chang’an for a while, then pointed at his face: "Silly boy, sold by her, yet speaking for her, how is there a silly child like you in this world."

"..." Xu Chang’an was taken aback, not understanding her meaning.

"Chang’an, do you truly think, sister is humiliating her in front of you just because of a pot of wine? Am I such a petty person?" Zhu Pingniang asked.

Xu Chang’an said nothing.

Zhu Pingniang blushed, "Alright, I admit I am narrow-minded... but it’s Qin’Er’s fault, sister is avenging you, you are silly."

"...?" Xu Chang’an inadvertently tilted his head, a question mark forming on his head.

"Forget it, no point in explaining to you, silly you remain..." Zhu Pingniang muttered, "Indeed, you are about to cultivate bedchamber matters with Miss Yun, what else can’t be said."

"???"

Zhu Pingniang looked at Xu Chang’an staring blankly at her, sighed, then couldn’t help but laugh.

She was jealous of Li Zhibai’s act of offering something borrowed, but the real reason for wanting to trouble Qinling was that this woman was unruly.

She dared to openly tell in the letter, she gifted Xu Chang’an a few pink elixirs "to enhance interests" between couples?

It should be known, at Muyu Peak, using such "spring" elixirs as rouge, everyone treats it as a secret, avoiding talking about it with him.

After all, Xu Chang’an is a very clean person.

And because Qinling discovered the girls at Muyu Peak, including Zhu Pingniang, were hiding the rouge made from these charming items, she directly sent him a few, making him use them on Yun Qian.

This was what angered Zhu Pingniang.

Even though Muyu Peak wasn’t a clean place, no need to conceal, no need to worry he’d be negatively influenced... but the girls just don’t want him to misunderstand, there’s no helping it.

Zhu Pingniang stared blankly at Xu Chang’an’s face, then murmured.

"That’s right."

The young man indeed is a clean one, like Northern Ice Domain’s snowflakes, clear and dazzling.

But...

He’s not as clean as the girls think, if Yun Qian had a normal constitution, they’d have had a child by now.
