At this moment, Miss Lu had already begun to gradually understand some of Yun Qianās superficial thoughts. For example, this girl not only doesnāt get jealous, but also... also casts friendly glances at those girls who have feelings for Xu Changāan.
She understood this fact, but couldnāt comprehend it.
And vaguely realizing that when dealing with Yun Qian, she couldnāt beat around the bush, Miss Lu, who had almost misled Yun Qian in the wrong direction earlier, had now gotten smarter. She no longer let her imagination run wild alone and directly asked.
"Miss Yun, even if you donāt get jealous... why do you hope there are more women around the young master?" Miss Lu asked in puzzlement.
A woman not getting jealous doesnāt mean her husband should take concubines, right?
Yun Qian must have a reason for thinking this way.
"Me?"
Hearing Miss Luās direct question, Yun Qian folded her hands together.
This matter, even Xu Changāan had never asked about.
As for why...
Yun Qian felt there were too many things she could say, like how these relationships originally belonged to him, only to be intercepted by her midway.
And the truth would eventually be known by Xu Changāan, so... at least Yun Qian didnāt want the relationships that were supposed to be around him from the start to change too much, to avoid being too heavily resisted by her husband later on.
And then thereās what she has always said, hoping that one day, after being abandoned, other girls could bring him a sense of novelty, a notion that ālife is a good thingā... so, their existence is both necessary and needed.
As for other factors...
Currently, Miss Yun couldnāt think of them, nor did she want to.
She looked up at Miss Lu in front of her.
Which parts could she share with her...
Yun Qian thought, but suddenly noticed that Miss Luās face was gradually turning red, as if... she remembered something extremely embarrassing.
...?
Yun Qian blinked.
She hadnāt even said anything yet, so whatās wrong with her?
There has to be a reason to be shy, right?
"Oh."
At this side, Miss Lu, who was noticed by Yun Qian, seemed like a little girl who had been sneaking around doing something naughty, letting out a panicked exclamation, then... she covered her face and lay on the table, her ears flushed with blood.
"?" Yun Qian tilted her head, asking: "Whatās wrong with you?"
"...N-nothing." Miss Luās voice trembled slightly, indicating her current state was very strange.
In fact...
It was she herself who felt shy.
After she asked, although it was a very serious topic, her thoughts involuntarily drifted towards more colored paths.
Miss Lu would occasionally eavesdrop on the girlsā whispers, and as she herself stated, she was at a marriageable age, so... she was a girl with desires.
So after asking, she couldnāt help but think...
Was Yun Qian always thinking about taking concubines for Xu Changāan because... Yun Qianās health was poor, and at night... couldnāt bear the āwhippings,ā wanting to find someone to share the burden.
After all...
The young master cultivates, and heās a young man, and young men are always full of energy, arenāt they?
And look at Yun Qian...
She doesnāt have much strength even to take a few steps.
But Yun Qian just happens to be so beautiful, and Xu Changāan loves her so much, so the daily tenderness is definitely indispensable.
Indispensable is indispensable, but whether Yun Qian, as weak as she is, can endure it is another matter altogether.
So, realizing this point, when Miss Lu saw Yun Qian looking so calm, her face became scorching hot.
Sheās really a worthless creature.
Such an important topic, her mind first thought that Yun Qian couldnāt endure the young masterās āwhippingsā so she wanted this sister, or something...
What a joke.
But there was no way around it.
Miss Lu had to admit at this moment that her habit of eavesdropping, visiting the Qingmei Workshop, and reading those street novels... really had an effect.
"Miss, Miss Yun... I... Iām really an indiscreet, lustful woman, you... youād better stay away from me, lest... lest I make you unclean." Miss Luās ashamed voice came from within her arms.
Unlike Zhu Pingniang who prides herself on being a bad woman, or Xu Changāan who prides himself on being lustful.
Miss Lu priding herself on being lustful was true, she truly was that kind of girl, even though she served Zhu Pingniang as a maid and was feared by an entire Flower Moon Buildingās worth of girls, in essence, Miss Lu was just an ordinary woman who also needed to release pressure.
Zhu Pingniang stands above, what pressure could she have operating the Flower Moon Building?
And those girls below, mixing with their sisters all day long, wouldnāt accumulate much pressure either.
Itās only Miss Lu, who held a high position with no girls daring to approach her daily, with Zhu Pingniang being useless as she was... naturally, always facing troubles alone, Miss Lu was full of pressure.
So, the pursuit of beauty and lust was the most ordinary preference for this girl.
It sounds pretty shameful, but it really was a normal thing to do.
Yet this commonness, when reflected in the mirror that is Yun Qian, made Miss Lu start to wonder if she was a filthy woman.
What if she led Yun Qian astray?
"...?" Yun Qian still didnāt understand, so she asked in confusion: "Werenāt you curious about why I wanted more girls around him?"
"Iām not curious anymore." Miss Lu shook her head lightly and said softly, "Iāve thought it through; itās a matter between you and the young master, and it has nothing to do with me as an outsider."
