Chapter 727 - 0414 The Gentle Girl (Second Combination)_2

This is...

Different treatment?

Miss Yun doesn’t quite understand, nor is she very clear if what’s happening now is the same as what Zhu Pingniang experienced.

Li Zhibai’s skirt isn’t worn for Zhu Pingniang to see, but she’s wearing it to show her.

Xu Chang’an’s kitchen doesn’t allow her in, yet he meticulously teaches Zhu Pingniang.

Are these two matters the same?

Yun Qian moves her hand up, feeling her still calm heartbeat. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have any uncomfortable feelings.

Her husband is willing to teach whoever he wants, it’s his own business. He always has his own reasons, like not allowing her to cook because he doesn’t want her to be affected by the smoke and oil.

Yun Qian won’t be unhappy; she doesn’t know what unreasonable behavior means.

However...

She still listened to Zhu Pingniang’s words because Xu Chang’an also said... a woman being appropriately jealous can make a man like her more.

So logically, she should be jealous now, jealous of Zhu Pingniang being able to crack eggs.

This is a good opportunity, a chance to learn... no, a good opportunity to disguise as jealousy.

After all, Zhu Pingniang just demonstrated in front of her how a jealous woman should behave, she just needs to simply imitate a bit...

Will her husband be happy?

Yun Qian shakes her head.

He won’t be happy, because she is deliberately learning from others, instead of truly feeling jealous in her heart.

Yun Qian lies down on the table, resting her head on her arms to take a short rest, tilting her head with a few stray strands of hair falling down.

Miss Yun’s goal of learning to be jealous has failed once again.

It seems the kitchen is still not enough, after all, it’s just some eggs, nothing worth being jealous over.

But Zhu Pingniang certainly started off well.

In the future, there will be more opportunities.

Yun Qian thinks and gently closes her eyes.

"..."

Open again.

Can’t sleep.

She slowly stands up and walks towards the direction where Xu Chang’an is.

Yun Qian isn’t someone who just daydreams, she always has to try, striving to be a qualified wife is not just empty words.

Even if... Xu Chang’an still doesn’t allow her to help, but Zhu Pingniang’s hug earlier makes Yun Qian wanting to go and hug her husband too.

Just like Xu Chang’an requiring "a breath of Yun Qian" when busy, the girl is tired.

She really needs him.

——

In the dressing room.

The girl in yellow leans on the window sill, watching the lively scene outside, turning to the speechless Miss Aqing beside her, and curiously says, "Ms. Qing, why are all the sisters coming out? Aren’t they preparing for the banquet?"

"Who knows." Miss Aqing picks up an eyebrow pencil and lightly adjusts the makeup on the tail of her brows, stretches, and then says, "Maybe new girls have arrived... Do you want to go and take a look?"

"Me?" The girl in yellow shakes her head and says with a smile, "I have Ms. Qing, that’s enough, I won’t go join the fuss."

"..." Miss Aqing looks at the girl’s earnest appearance and sighs lightly, "Pingniang’s parties are always this chaotic, no one knows when the stage will start, do you want to sleep for a bit? Today might be crazy until dawn."

"Is it?" The girl in yellow ponders for a moment, then yawns, "Then... I’ll go sleep for a while, Ms. Qing, remember to call me when the stage starts."

"Got it." Aqing nods.

"...Really?" The girl in yellow looks suspiciously at Aqing, "Sis, you can’t deliberately not call me just because you don’t want me to see you dancing on stage."

She seriously says, "If I miss your performance, I’ll cry until you have ten wet skirts."

Miss Aqing: "..."

Threatening someone like this?

She has seen it all, can she even be afraid of a little girl’s tears?

"Sleep or not?" Aqing says sternly, genuinely caring about the little girl’s mental state best guess.

"Sleep, I’m sleeping now... Sis, don’t look at me like that, I’m scared." The girl in yellow instantly yields, then walks to Aqing’s side, timidly standing there, not saying a word, just waiting.

Could Aqing not understand her intentions?

Helplessly shakes her head but still opens her arms.

The girl in yellow sees this and happily throws herself into her embrace, rubbing against her twice before letting go, reluctantly saying, "Then I’ll go rest, remember to call me."

"Got it."

After the girl goes to rest, Aqing gently massages her temples.

How did it come to this?

Who am I?

Where am I?

She initially came to Beisang City for something... Why now she fully integrates into Beisang City, becoming a big sister who spoils little girls at Flower Moon Building?

Speaking of which, every time Ni Zi sleeps, she requires to be hugged by her before being able to sleep peacefully.

Being hugged by herself; does it really come with such peace of mind?

Aqing can’t quite understand.

If Ni Zi knew her true strength, then she could understand feeling assured.

Anyway...

No need to think so much... just assume something is off in Beisang City, after all, there’s one Xu Chang’an, she has a lot she doesn’t understand.

Aqing walks to the window, looking at the lively scene outside.

She certainly knows what’s happening.

Wen Li has arrived.

She’s been paying attention to this fellow half-demon girl for a long time now.

Wen Li... is she also here for Young Master Xu?

Indeed, she sensed some of Wen Li’s presence on Xu Chang’an.

Looking at the Pear Blossom Umbrella in the corner of the room... she pursed her lips, her mood a bit complex but far from being jealous... she considers herself not that cheap, not to the point of falling for Young Master Xu after one heroic rescue.

Though... she indeed likes him a bit.

Stretching lazily, a peculiar expression appears on Aqing’s face.

Wen Li sure is beautiful.

Living at Flower Moon Building for so long, she knows too well what kind of girl the women here will like.

Yun Qian, though pretty, absolutely cannot move these women deeply, for she is like Zhu Tongjun back in the days, dazzling but too cold to approach.

But Wen Li...

Frankly, the women of Flower Moon Building see her and can’t move their feet.

Yes.

Now they indeed can’t move.

Since some time ago, when Wen Li asked the girls to inform Zhu Pingniang, those women have been boiling over, leaving the banquet halls one by one, all running out to see Wen Li, wishing their eyes could grow on her.

Even if they don’t yet know who Wen Li is, her demeanor, appearance, and attire make them suspect she must be from the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, even though they’re fascinated by Wen Li’s sudden appearance, none of them dare to approach her or talk. They just pretend to play around there and secretly watch from afar.

Even the woman going to inform Zhu Pingniang deliberately slowed her steps, intentionally dragging her feet instead of rushing to find Zhu Pingniang, just wishing to watch Wen Li a bit longer.

Who is this woman deliberately dragging her feet?

Aqing holds her forehead.

It’s Steward Lu.

Doesn’t she like Zhu Pingniang the most? How come just a look at Wen Li shifts her affections?

Aqing suddenly realizes, she is increasingly using the logic of Flower Moon Building girls to think about things... but it doesn’t matter, she with her young body having an older mindset, adapts more easily to the influence from Flower Moon Building.

Wen Li...

Aqing somewhat regretfully looks at the girl from afar.

Such a pity.

Knowing there’s such a half-demon back then, she truly considered taking her as a disciple.

Different from Shi Qingjun’s free-spirited approach to raising Zhu Tongjun, she really thought about the hands-on teaching because being a half-demon, she understands too well what Wen Li has faced these years.

But now she’s rather relieved, nothing regrettable.

As Wen Li needed to notify Zhu Pingniang, knowing Wen Li’s character is too serious and rigid, clearly not suitable to stay with her, nor fit for teaching atmosphere.

Serious and rigid, a bit similar to Shi Qingjun.

Hence, for Wen Li’s own good, indeed it’s better to stay in Chaoyun Sect.

Aqing closes the window, curling the corners of her lips.

Unexpectedly, her first meeting with Wen Li is at a place like this... Fellow half-demons, always... later Zhu Pingniang will certainly introduce Wen Li to her.

No need to think, Aqing can guess Zhu Pingniang’s idea, using an Immortal Sect half-demon to inspire her own advancement or something.

Currently, Zhu Pingniang has such a warm and innocent character.

Aqing brushes aside her hair by the ear.

She of course can see Wen Li’s half-demon bloodline has been removed, but it’s obvious Qing Jun doesn’t care about the junior, so only Zhu Pingniang couldn’t completely eradicate the half-demon lineage, leaving many hidden troubles in Wen Li’s body.

Later, she’ll find an opportunity to solve it for Wen Li.
