My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 752 - 0427 The Longed-for Figure (Two-in-One)

Xu Chang’an once told her that a pierced ear for a girl was initially to make it easier for the mother to discipline—essentially, that was the reason.

Though it serves a decorative purpose, its original meaning doesn’t change, so... in this way, it might make her appear a bit more humble.

Hmm...

Yun Qian gazed at Ah Qing’s clean earlobe, pondering whether piercing it would earn the favor of the Heavenly Dao?

It seems unlikely.

Yun Qian’s Liu Mei eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Now, with gentle clip-on earrings available for decoration, persuading her husband to allow her to wear earrings may be as difficult as gaining the Heavenly Dao’s favor.

Sigh.

Indeed, this time, she will disappoint Xu Chang’an.

"...?"

Yun Qian’s gentle sigh reached Ah Qing’s ears, and she turned around helplessly, saying, "Miss Yun, what’s troubling you? Still contemplating the matter of gaining Heavenly Dao’s favor? If there’s anything, you should talk to Sir; brooding alone can lead to dead ends."

"No." Yun Qian shook her head, tilted her head, and said, "I was just noticing you don’t wear earrings."

"Earrings?" Ah Qing was momentarily taken aback.

Is the topic really jumping like this?

She instinctively touched her own earlobe.

"Earrings, I’ve never worn them... why?" Ah Qing asked with genuine confusion.

She seldom dresses up; witnesses all the girls at Flower Moon Building wear jewelry but never felt the urge or understood notions of hierarchy, purely lacking the habit of wearing jewelry.

"Wearing earrings makes one humbler." Yun Qian said softly.

"...?" Ah Qing blinked at her words.

Oh.

So that’s what she meant.

She’s indeed heard of this saying.

What’s Miss Yun talking about? Where did she come from, this relic? Such ideas are scarcely remembered; perhaps only documented in the Literary Commander’s books.

Ah Qing’s mind was momentarily overwhelmed, but then recognized that Yun Qian might be from some "Hidden Clan," making her out-of-touch with the times entirely reasonable.

Ah Qing thought if Yun Qian’s words were heard by those women from Muyu Peak, they wouldn’t be pleased, given those girls from Hehuan Sect invariably wore earrings.

"Miss Yun, that saying doesn’t hold anymore; you might want to refrain from mentioning it, lest other girls take offense," Ah Qing cautioned Yun Qian.

"That saying doesn’t hold anymore?" Yun Qian seriously eyed Ah Qing.

Facing Yun Qian’s serious gaze, Ah Qing hesitated and cleared her throat:

"Maybe... perhaps in the mortal world, it still exists, but since you’ve joined the Immortal Sect, it’s less concerning."

"I see." Yun Qian nodded.

She thought to herself, Xu Chang’an wouldn’t deceive her; if Xu Chang’an acknowledged such notions but if Ah Qing denied it... Yun Qian would conclude this girl isn’t very bright.

Ah Qing shook her head: "Let’s not mention others, but take Ms. Zhu... Ms. Zhu, she wears those clinking red jade earrings all day, sometimes changing styles—does that make her a humble person?"

Clearly not.

Therefore, Yun Qian should set aside these thoughts that might offend people.

Ah Qing wasn’t worried Yun Qian would offend anyone, rather... she quite favored Yun Qian currently, so she naturally considered Yun Qian’s image. The concept of a perfect woman should undoubtedly encompass everything.

"Miss Zhu..." Yun Qian pondered, nodding lightly.

Indeed, Zhu Pingniang often wears earrings and holds a prominent position at Muyu Peak and in Xu Chang’an’s thoughts, so she surely isn’t humble or inexpensive...

Hmm?

Yun Qian suddenly raised her head, looking at Ah Qing and asked: "Does being a concubine for girls mean being humble?"

"???"

Listening to Yun Qian’s abrupt question, Ah Qing found herself bewildered with multiple question marks in her mind.

Suddenly, Yun Qian’s words seemed to morph into sharp spears, as if piercing her thoroughly.

What does it mean for girls to be concubines to be humble?

No, wait...

Why ask me?

Ah Qing’s eye corners twitched slightly.

Perhaps feeling guilty, she sensed an implication in Yun Qian’s question... indeed, she has contemplated this as someone from the side, concubine...

She addressed Yun Qian with repeated self-identification as a concubine, might Miss Yun misunderstand her intentions?

But observing Yun Qian’s gentle gaze, Ah Qing knew Yun Qian wasn’t conclusively ridiculing her, so with a helpless expression, she earnestly answered:

"If one becomes a concubine... it’s cheaper, naturally."

Whether humble or not, which girl doesn’t want to be the main wife?

A concubine, in the mortal realm, is hardly different from a plaything.

"Hmm."

Yun Qian responded.

She thought if that’s the case, then even if Zhu Pingniang wears earrings, the act of wearing earrings remains humble, whereas Zhu Pingniang herself isn’t humble or inexpensive, clearly.

Their husband’s loved ones couldn’t possibly be humble.

Eh?

Yun Qian was momentarily dazed again.

If that were the case, as her husband’s current favorite girl, she undoubtedly shares Zhu Pingniang’s status of being impossible to be humble, regardless?

Is that really the case?

Though ordinary, she is no different.

As long as her husband cherishes her, no matter how poorly she treats herself, she ultimately remains esteemed, outside perceptions irrelevant.

Therefore, the essence of being esteemed, superior, isn’t determined by Yun Qian herself, but rather by whether her husband continues to cherish her.
