Zhu Pingniang thought that Xu Changâanâs body was doing well; the only person not well was Yun Qian. Besides, those two had been married for so long... How could it be that Yun Qian was still unpolished, still a virgin?
Come on, donât joke around.
Changâan has grown so well, Zhu Pingniang thought if she were Yun Qian, being able to have the Child Foster Husband she raised herself, what reason would there be to hold back?
She wondered if Ah Bai understood matters of Yin and Yang even less than she did?
That shouldnât be, right.
Wasnât it recommended by Li Zhibai that Xu Changâan come to her for the Hehuan Sectâs Cultivation Technique?
"Ah Bai, you canât just think Yun believes sheâs inexperienced because she canât conceive; itâs just that thereâs an issue with her Spirit Road, lacking Gui Water," Zhu Pingniang reminded.
Li Zhibai: "..."
Li Zhibai was silent for a moment and then raised her head.
The bright moon hung high in the sky.
The clouds veiled the white jade disc in the sky, and the falling Smoke Rain seemed like a veil that covered a beautyâs face.
Beneath the clouds, dark clouds rained down on Beisang City, covering the cityâs myriad lights, making it impossible to see the clear moonâjust like her Tong Jun.
Li Zhibai suddenly felt a bit of regret.
Was her past choice a mistake?
Was it because Tong Jun was too pure in the past that, upon entering Spring Breeze City so suddenly, she was influenced and changed quickly, now even discussing matters of romance during a normal conversation?
But this isnât right.
Tong Jun grew up in the Hehuan Sect...
Oh.
At that time, the Sect Leader of the Hehuan Sect was that Miss Gu, so although Tong Jun had cultivated the Charm Technique, she only understood the theory, never delving deeper into it.
She was well-protected, but now...
"Tong Jun, I meant polish."
"...Is there any difference?" Zhu Pingniang blinked.
"Even if thereâs no difference." Li Zhibai sighed softly.
She recognized it.
In her mind, Cultivation was completely unimportant, so Zhu Pingniang ignored the choice of Cultivation.
The key was she couldnât get angry.
Perhaps Tong Junâs adolescence had arrived?
Though a bit late... However, looking at Zhu Tongjunâs life path, she had always been earnestly cultivating. Until reaching the peak, she had suppressed herself, and now that she relaxed, the curiosity of her adolescence, amplified by Flower Moon Building ...
Made her Tong Jun become such a lustful girl...
She could understand.
Li Zhibai took a deep breath.
So, even if Tong Jun said she liked her, thinking all about the rotation of Yin and Yang, she could understand. This was a sisterâs tolerance, and Li Zhibai couldnât scold her.
After all, even she, in her teenage years, held a strange fondness for the tea party girls, who were also ladies.
This is something one must experience in life.
Li Zhibai thought that if a person suppresses it for a lifetime, then after reaching the peak, no matter how wrong something may seem from a normal perspective, she could understand.
Actually, understanding wasnât necessary, because she was most protective of the girl.
Li Zhibai looked at Zhu Pingniang, who had a question mark above her head, and was speechless.
Actually, she had a reason to be angry, for instance... as an elder, discussing Changâanâs âfamily mattersâ, âbedroom affairsâ behind her back when alone with her was exceedingly rude.
But if Tong Jun considers herself a âsisterâ and if Xu Changâan acknowledges this Ms. Zhu, itâs fine.
Being an elder sister, making jokes, seems not a big deal.
So, even if Zhu Pingniang was pretending to be foolish, even if she actually knew they were talking about Cultivation and deliberately steered the topic towards matters of Yin and Yang, she couldnât be angry.
After countless times of self-persuasion in her mind, Li Zhibaiâs expression gradually calmed, and then she suddenly remembered something, asking calmly, "Tong Jun, you havenât seen Qinling for a long time, have you?"
"..."
Zhu Pingniang, who was initially eager to discuss the juniorsâ bedroom matters with Li Zhibai, immediately changed her expression, obediently stood up, poured Li Zhibai a glass of wine, and bowed her head, "Ah Bai, I was wrong."
She was willing to do anything, as long as it didnât involve seeing Qinling again.
â...â
Seeing Zhu Pingniang in such a pitiful state, Li Zhibai gently rubbed her temples with her fingers and asked, "Is this how you act as a mother?"
"She... she doesnât regard me as a mother." Zhu Pingniang really wanted to retort, saying, what kind of daughter would use seductive medicine on their own mother?
But she was extremely fond of Qinling, her eldest daughter, and had no way out, only able to hold on for a while longer.
"What did she do wrong?" Li Zhibai asked.
"I canât say." Whether Li Zhibai knew brave or not, Zhu Pingniang just couldnât bring herself to say it.
Li Zhibai said nothing.
Actually, Qinling was a very serene and spiritual person, historically accompanying Tong Jun as her Zither Girl and witnessing the majesty of rivers and mountains.
She had just spoken with Qinling not long ago and clearly noticed the significant change in Qinling.
From a spiritual girl to the serious and earnest Steward in Xu Changâanâs eyes...
Who did she resemble?
Li Zhibai glanced down at her own hand.
Yes.
Like her.
In the past, Li Zhibai hadnât noticed this, but now seeing Zhu Pingniang smiling as she looked at her, she suddenly realized that Qinling was mimicking her.
It seems, as the first girl Tong Jun ever brought along, Qinling must have sensed Tong Junâs feelings for her, and so her choice... was to become like her?
