As Yun Qian mentioned wanting a daughter with Xu Changâan, the expressions of the three women present varied.
Wen Liâs eyebrows relaxed as she recalled Xu Changâanâs gentle smile when he was with Xiaohua, and then she replaced Xiaohuaâs image with that of a ponytailed girl, with a delicate face and lively eyes... She immediately smiled.
Like Li Zhibai, Wen Li was also a bit curious about what their junior brotherâs daughter would be like.
Miss Wen didnât get jealous; naturally inclined to care for her junior sister, her first thought upon learning her junior brother might have a daughter was that she would have the chance to teach the child cultivation, being gentle so Xu Changâanâs daughter wouldnât fear her like Gu Qiancheng did.
Just as Xu Changâan was gentle with Xiaohua, Miss Wen would also be patient.
Coincidentally, Li Zhibai thought the same, so deciding who would be the teacher would be a matter for the two of them.
Regarding the matter of how girls should have children, Yun Qian didnât need to know the essence of it; her logic always followed her husbandâs lead.
"..." Unlike Wen Liâs comforting smile, Miss Lu didnât envision the image of a young girl upon hearing about having a daughter; instead... she thought of the intimate secrets between husband and wife.
To have a daughter, first, you must... frequently be close with the young master, right?
Miss Lu blushed deeply, desperately wanting to become a maid.
She had heard that in large families, whenever the master and lady were being intimate, there was always a maid around, so did that mean she would have the chance to serve in such...?
Peh.
Miss Lu spat at herself, her hands slapping her cheeks red, trying to expel those lustful thoughts from her mind.
She... really was a naughty woman.
However, it wasnât entirely her fault for being lustful; unlike the Immortal Sect where Wen Li came from, for Wen Li... even if Xu Changâan and Yun Qian planned to have a daughter ten years from now, it would be like a blink of an eye, so she could imagine those future scenarios.
Miss Lu was just an ordinary person who could only see the present, plus she was inherently lustful.
The young master she liked, the lady she liked too, so... double the happiness, who wouldnât want that?
No shame in that.
"..."
Unlike Wen Li and Miss Lu, when Zhu Pingniang heard Yun Qian mention a daughter, she didnât think about the girlâs appearance; her hand instead covered her soft, flat stomach, revealing a trace of envy in her eyes.
Very envious, to be able to have children.
Although Zhu Pingniang had a whole Flower Moon Building full of daughters, she didnât have a biological daughter. Moreover, as she loved Li Zhibai, she feared sheâd never have the opportunity to have a daughter, nor experience the wonderful feeling of nurturing a small life within herself.
And not just that.
"Ms. Yun..." Zhu Pingniang slightly clenched her fist and, uncontrollably, spoke, "What do you think, sister, about the feeling of intimacy...?"
Upon hearing Zhu Pingniangâs sudden explosive comment, Wen Li tilted her head, "...?"
Miss Lu shot up from her chair in disbelief, staring at the shameless woman before her.
"The feeling... I really like it, itâs probably like..." Yun Qian started, but Miss Lu waved her hands vigorously, face flushed as if blood could drip.
"Miss Yun, donât say... ignore Ms. Zhu; sheâs just being crazy."
Seeing Miss Lu look as if she wanted Miss Yun to stop, and noticing Zhu Pingniang seemingly reflecting, not pressing further, Yun Qian nodded gently, "...Okay, I wonât say anymore."
The recent matter, in a quarter of an hour, wasnât worth discussing.
Back when he didnât cherish people, it was still very happy times.
"Tch... Hard to believe I mustered the courage to ask." Zhu Pingniang pulled a face, pointing to Wen Li, who looked calm, "For sure, itâs not just me; Little Wen also really wants to know, right?"
Wen Li: "..."
Wen Li was at a loss for words.
Honestly, she was somewhat curious, but being a senior sister, she couldnât ask such a question.
"Ms. Zhu, you... if you truly want to know, why not ask the girls in the building?" Miss Luâs earlobes were beet red.
"Ask them? Whatâs there to ask, with their trivial affairs, those fake phoenix plays? I donât care to ask." Zhu Pingniang sneered, "Besides, sooner or later, Iâll conquer Ah Bai. Iâll learn for myself someday, revealing our mystery would be boring."
"..." Wen Li had nothing to say.
Would Senior Zhu and Master Li really end up together?
That possibility couldnât be said to be nonexistent, but it was frighteningly low.
"Ms. Zhu." Miss Luâs eyelashes fluttered.
In this world, itâs rare to find women speaking so openly; even the girls in the brothel had more reservations.
Zhu Pingniang could express her affection for Xu Changâan one moment and then turn to such topics... Did Zhu Pingniang not care at all about how Yun Qianxin regarded her?
"Hmm?"
"I... just love how confident you are, sister."
"Cut it out." Zhu Pingniang sneered, glancing at Yun Qian, smiling, "Donât think I donât know what youâre thinking, but sister, Iâve known for a while, speaking from the heart... wonât make Ms. Yun dislike me... am I right, sister?"
Despite her irreverent words, Yun Qian wouldnât resent her; that was one reason why Zhu Pingniang liked Yun Qian so much.
