Chapter 548 - 0326 Cheap and Good (2-in-1)_2

Putting herself in someone else’s shoes, she also hopes that in the future, if Li Zhibai really has a husband, she would advise herself not to like him.

If Li Zhibai were to be jealous, she could still accept it, but the reason for her own good, she can’t comprehend.

However, Zhu Pingniang still let out a sigh of relief.

Although Miss Lu will continue to like Xu Chang’an, this kind of affection is different from Liu Qingluo’s, so there’s no need to worry that Miss Lu will be hurt because of it.

Zhu Pingniang discovered that currently, unless she herself gets hurt by Xu Chang’an, as long as his looks don’t crumble, Miss Lu, the attractive girl, won’t be hurt.

"So, us women are really cheap." Zhu Pingniang let out a long sigh: "One looking after another, right?"

"If we’re cheap, just say we’re cheap, what’s so hard to admit." Miss Lu breathed out, smelling the faint aroma of alcohol, tilted her head: "In any case, the people you like, I, and even the sisters in the building will certainly like, so... we’re all your dowry."

"But I am Ah Bai’s dowry." Zhu Pingniang’s eye twitched.

These good girls clearly have suitors, how did it come to this where everyone’s being given away?

"Then that’s your problem." Miss Lu pretended to sigh: "Anyway, just like you are willing to serve a man together with that Miss Ah Bai, I’m also willing to be your sister."

"What if I don’t allow it?" Zhu Pingniang glared.

"You’ve already become someone else’s dowry, so you have no reason to control me." Miss Lu blinked, pointing to the sky: "Actually, I think, Miss Qin probably thinks the same way."

She believes Qinling fears Zhu Pingniang being taken by some man because of Li Zhibai, making her seem cheap, hence wanting to push Zhu Pingniang down early.

"To make me a dowry, do you qualify? Do you have any mastery in musical, chess, calligraphy, or painting?" Zhu Pingniang sneered.

"I don’t have any skills, some Inner Charm, but I won’t seduce anyone... wasted this red courtesan talent." Miss Lu covered her face, smiling: "But I have quantity."

"...?"

"The whole Flower Moon Building is your dowry, oh." Miss Lu giggled.

"Eh?" Zhu Pingniang was taken aback.

"Why are you dumbstruck." Miss Lu spread her hands: "Haven’t you thought about what kind of image and status you have in Flower Moon Building? If one day you really get married, can the girls not follow?"

Her tone paused.

"It’s just that there are too many girls, your husband may not be able to handle them... The biggest possibility is that the girls can’t be any concubines, just living nearby watching you show your love."

She gently grabbed Zhu Pingniang’s hand: "So sister, you must talk clearly with Miss Ah Bai, let her choose a husband from the mighty Immortal Sect, or else we girls will end up as widows."

"..."

Zhu Pingniang was impulsive.

Listening to Miss Lu’s words, whether drunken or serious, she couldn’t help but crumble completely.

Because she knows, Miss Lu isn’t joking.

Once the day comes she has to leave Flower Moon Building... even if not all, at least eight or nine out of ten girls would beg her to take them... she can’t bear to say no.

In fact, Zhu Pingniang had long left a place on Muyu Peak for the girls, when she really wants to return to the mountain and not come back, she could take them up the mountain—all very convenient, as they could continue their original work, just the guests change from men to women.

Yes, opening the brothel on Muyu Peak,

Mhm, it’s undeniable, the women of Muyu Peak would definitely wholeheartedly approve of this.

But Zhu Pingniang only thought this far, not considering what would happen if she got married... Now, Miss Lu pointed it out, making her feel terrible.

In this world, who takes a whole brothel’s worth of girls as dowry?

Zhu Pingniang glared, suppressing her inner annoyance: "Still looking for a mighty Immortal Sect? How strong Immortal Sect do you want?"

"How about the strongest man in the world, otherwise how could he match you." Miss Lu shook her head, regretfully said: "Looking at it this way... Young Master Xu seems a bit immature, after all, he’s younger than me, how could he have any real ability."

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

The rain outside the window fell on Zhu Pingniang’s face, making her involuntarily shiver.

Suddenly, she felt an ominous premonition, as if there’s a big pit waiting right ahead to bury her completely.

Others don’t know Xu Chang’an’s mystical talent, but she knows very well, if he really is some kind of Immortal Reincarnation, wouldn’t he be the strongest man today?

"Don’t say anything more." Zhu Pingniang covered Miss Lu’s mouth.

"...?"

Zhu Pingniang said angrily: "I won’t forbid you from liking Chang’an anymore, alright? Just don’t frighten me again."

Every statement was a thunderbolt, leaving Zhu Pingniang struggling to accept.

She said this under Miss Lu’s puzzled gaze: "Indeed... That Miss Yun took him down early, it really is a good thing, hm, indeed a good thing."

Zhu Pingniang felt grateful, grateful that Xu Chang’an isn’t a flirtatious man.

She didn’t know why she suddenly felt heart palpitations.

Clearly, Xu Chang’an is a very serious child.

Clearly, she knows Li Zhibai’s mind very well, normally speaking, even if Xu Chang’an isn’t married, he and Li Zhibai are impossible...

But she just has a premonition, if Xu Chang’an really isn’t married, a very unbelievable outcome will occur.

"Ms. Zhu, what’s wrong?" Seeing Zhu Pingniang immersed in thought, it’s Miss Lu’s turn to hesitate.

"Nothing, I suddenly decided." Zhu Pingniang took a deep breath.

"Decided? Decided what? Decided to find a man?" Miss Lu tilted her head.

"You... I’ll deal with you later." Zhu Pingniang gave her a sideways glance, said: "I decided, to treat Chang’an and that Miss Yun well."

She already liked Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian’s marriage, now there’s another reason.

"I need to make sure that Miss Yun and Chang’an’s marriage gets better and better." Zhu Pingniang clapped her hands suddenly: "Yes, just like that, to make them inseparable."

"Ah?" Miss Lu was stunned.

"I want Chang’an to like that Miss Yun more and more, don’t you understand?" Zhu Pingniang asked.

"Improving the young master’s marital feelings? How does that relate to you, is it necessary?" Miss Lu’s gaze was peculiar.

It sounded like the concubine was about to join, but the main wife’s power was too strong, then the concubine tries to please the main wife.

"You don’t understand." Zhu Pingniang laughed: "This is what I call preventing problems before they happen."

"Will Miss Yun like you for doing this?" Miss Lu reminded her: "Ms. Zhu, if concubines want to survive in the family, pleasing the main wife doesn’t help, the key is to rely on the husband’s favor."

"...? "

"...? "

"Urgh, what’s going on in that head of yours, girl."

"Sister, I grew up in a brothel, what do you think?"

"... fine, I’ll keep track of how many times I hit you today."

"..."

Zhu Pingniang retrieved her gaze, looking in the direction of Muyu Peak, pondering... At this moment, she recalled Qinling.

Qinling gave Xu Chang’an an elixir for couples."

Is this meant to improve their marital feelings?

The aim is to make outsiders see their affection and back off?

It should be.

Then, for what purpose is Qinling doing this? Does she merely want Xu Chang’an to not remain innocent, or...

Is she genuinely worried that she might be taken by Chang’an, that boy?

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

The answer is obvious.

Zhu Pingniang clenched her teeth: "Brat, am I such a cheap woman in her mind?"

Is it her turn to worry about me.

However one thinks, I wouldn’t like Xu Chang’an, such a young child.

Hmph.

Qinling can send Xu Chang’an elixirs for couples.

Who can’t send one?

"She can improve, so can I." Zhu Pingniang pointed to the alley where Xu Chang’an disappeared: "Qin’Er can send elixirs, I can too."

She intends for Xu Chang’an to buy Red Lotus and take it back to Yun Qian, ideally... deceiving Yun Qian to consume it tonight.

"What are you saying?" Miss Lu was puzzled.

"Saying what? I’ll explain later, now follow me to the Rouge shop to catch Chang’an." Zhu Pingniang took Miss Lu’s hand and headed downstairs.
