My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 705 - 0402 Yun Qian’s Role (Two-in-One)_2

"..."

Could this be the "role" of that Ms. Yun, otherwise, Zhu Pingniang couldn’t understand how such a mysterious person would fall into such a state.

If so, then Ms. Yun is really pitiable, there is no difference between this and the so-called "murder wife for path".

"..."

Zhu Pingniang thought, lifting her head to glance at Xu Chang’an, meeting those confused eyes.

"Bah."

She spat, gently patting her cheeks with her hands.

It shouldn’t be, she must be overthinking it, no matter how you look at it... Chang’an is definitely not someone unfaithful or cold-hearted... how could she fit the story from the book on him.

"It’s also because I’ve been spending too much time with the girls from the Flower Moon Building, becoming improper." Zhu Pingniang fiercely glared at Xu Chang’an: "Who cares who you are, if the sky falls, there’ll be taller ones to hold it up."

The Sect Leader is the taller one.

Xu Chang’an, being suddenly found trouble by Zhu Pingniang for no reason, felt helpless but no other emotion.

He quietly looked at the prepared ingredients in the kitchen.

Naturally, it wasn’t his place to chase someone away, but this action couldn’t escape Zhu Pingniang’s eyes, only to hear her click her tongue: "Knowing I’ve caused you trouble, sister will leave now, but... before leaving... there’s something I’d like your opinion on."

"What?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"Do you think... it’s strange for me to be idle, yet using artificial puppets to interact with the girls." Zhu Pingniang said with some apprehension: "If they find out, they’d surely be angry, thinking... I really disdain them."

Xu Chang’an didn’t say anything.

Need to ask?

It’s inevitable, Zhu Pingniang is just deceiving herself now.

Didn’t he see Miss Lu, even with her affection for Zhu Pingniang, was so... so disappointed after knowing the truth, Xu Chang’an saw clearly on the side, the melancholy in Miss Lu’s eyes was no fake.

But Zhu Pingniang asking him now clearly wasn’t wanting to hear logic but seeking peace of mind.

So Xu Chang’an shook his head and softly said: "The Flower Moon Building is grateful to you, the girls have seen it all, that talk of disdain... sister need only ask her conscience."

Xu Chang’an thought he’d given Zhu Pingniang a way out, expecting her quietly to accept it, but didn’t foresee Zhu Pingniang looked even more uncomfortable.

"What if... sister... if I do feel guilty." Zhu Pingniang’s face turned a bit pale.

Initially, she disdained the brothel as dirty, so she used a puppet instead.

She knew she felt guilty, so now she’s anxious, fearing she had hurt the girls’ feelings.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

His eye twitched slightly.

His Senior Zhu really was an honest person.

Since he had become the "wise sister," he had to see it through.

"And now?" Xu Chang’an shook his head, trying to say good words for Zhu Pingniang: "Now that sister no longer uses puppets, the girls surely wouldn’t resent you."

"What do you know." Zhu Pingniang gave Xu Chang’an an accusing look: "That puppet of mine was punched by you, unusable for half a year, or else I wouldn’t have come on my own."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

Hiss.

So it wasn’t that you no longer disdained the girls, but rather you had no choice.

He had paved the way to the step, and yet Zhu Pingniang refused to step, Xu Chang’an truly had nothing to say.

At this moment Zhu Pingniang also realized her loss of composure, pursed her lips, like a sister acting spoiled to her own brother after being wronged.

She explained quietly: "I initially... worried Ah Bai didn’t like brothels, would disdain me truly going into it, so I used a puppet instead."

Initially, she didn’t really look down on these girls, truly concerned about Li Zhibai’s view.

And now, as feelings deepened with the girls, such matters didn’t bother her anymore.

But the initial disdain couldn’t be denied... if this knot wasn’t resolved, Zhu Pingniang felt she couldn’t face the girls in the future.

Moreover, the beloved Ms. Zhu used to disdain them...

If the girls found out, how heartbroken they’d be.

"Chang’an, what... what should I do." Zhu Pingniang couldn’t help but grab the hem of Xu Chang’an’s clothes, she too had lost her mind, asking him about everything.

Xu Chang’an: "..."

How would he know what to do.

But being stared at by Zhu Pingniang with such watery eyes, especially with the noble coldness belonging to "Zhu Tongjun" still lingering on her, it was indeed... quite strange.

Xu Chang’an pulled the hem of his clothes quietly from Zhu Pingniang’s hand, then said: "Ms. Zhu, you must have had unavoidable reasons for using the puppet, with someone of your standing... being busy is a norm, naturally inconvenient to truly stay here, so... using a puppet, isn’t that a big deal, surely the girls can understand."

"I’m quite free." Zhu Pingniang immediately said: "On Muyu Peak, I merely hold the title of Guardian, all duties are handled by the Timekeepers, plus I am only one chance away now, so I don’t need to go into closed cultivation, so... I simply didn’t come, not that I had no time..."

Zhu Pingniang spoke while meeting Xu Chang’an’s helpless gaze, suddenly realizing something, her lips slightly opened: "Chang’an, you’re suggesting I deceive the girls... how could you."

Xu Chang’an meant for her to say she was very busy, not deliberately using a puppet, but how could Zhu Pingniang lie to her own daughters.

"..."

Xu Chang’an didn’t know what to say anymore.

He gave Zhu Pingniang reason after reason, only for Zhu Pingniang to dismantle them one by one...

Indeed, women weren’t sensible.

"What is sister afraid of?" Xu Chang’an asked.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingniang fell silent for a moment, then softly said: "I fear... or rather I don’t wish to hurt those girls, they’re fragile."

Like exquisite porcelains that need careful care, if slightly mishandled, they’d shatter and never be mended again.

Without waiting for Xu Chang’an to respond, she continued: "Chang’an, you have no idea, when I first arrived in Beisang City... the life they were living... like Qingluo, she used to be the courtesan of Wanzhi Building, you know this, right."

Xu Chang’an nodded.

Zhu Pingniang continued: "Girls like Qingluo who entered the brothel since young... ever since beginning... all their time was spent learning how to become a good courtesan... how to walk, how to speak with what tone, what to say... how to walk, sit and stand, even eye contact required thoughtful practice..."

Here these girls had no self, moulded to become the person others strictly designed.

Whoever transformed best, would be the courtesan.

Liu Qingluo was such a girl.

Zhu Pingniang deeply looked at Xu Chang’an, seeing he had no expression of pity, she silently sighed for Liu Qingluo.

Liu Qingluo found "herself" through Xu Chang’an, consequently falling completely... however even Qingluo probably wouldn’t want to be pitied by him.

She was being meddlesome.

Zhu Pingniang shook her head saying: "In any case, those girls are so sensitive, if they learn of my initial thoughts... who knows how they’d cry."

She glanced at Xu Chang’an, noticing a faint confusion on his face.

She didn’t explain.

She knew Xu Chang’an probably thought she was quite pretentious, caring too about a small matter.

But Zhu Pingniang knew she just brought up Qingluo through the topic, merely to make Xu Chang’an realize that Qingluo was also sensitive, in future interactions, hoping he would consider Qingluo’s feelings a bit.

After acknowledging Xu Chang’an’s mystic nature, she feared Liu Qingluo would be more seriously hurt in the future.

After all, that girl was truly very fragile.

As things stand, it seemed like she was being redundant.

After all, according to her imagination, even Yun Qian’s ending wouldn’t be much better, let alone a Liu Qingluo.

Zhu Pingniang didn’t know if Xu Chang’an came to transcend tribulations, but she knew he was certainly a tribulation Liu Qingluo couldn’t escape.

While thinking, Zhu Pingniang saw Xu Chang’an lift his head, seriously say.

"Ms. Zhu, Chang’an doesn’t understand your intentions... but Chang’an believes... treating others sincerely, after all, isn’t wrong."

Being sincere to the ladies of Flower Moon Building, even if they find out about Zhu Pingniang’s former disdain for them, they wouldn’t truly be overly hurt.

Zhu Pingniang: "..."

Sigh.

Nothing more to say.

Xu Chang’an had taken "treating people sincerely" to the extreme.

It was Qingluo herself being emotionally invested, which had nothing to do with him.
