CHAPTER 573: 0338 WHO IS THE MAIN WIFE MATTERS GREATLY TO MISS YUN (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

"Miss."

"Hmm?"

"Don’t look at the current gap between the teacher and Senior Zhu, but... they weren’t always like this." Xu Chang’an thought about the paintings Li Zhibai had shown him.

In the past, Zhu Tongjun was as cold and distant as a celestial woman, her face never adorned with anything superfluous.

In contrast, Li Zhibai as a young lady from a noble family always remembered to adorn herself.

So, it’s hard to say who is stronger.

Xu Chang’an intended to say this, but before he could speak, Yun Qian interrupted him.

"The past? Are you talking about bygone matters?" Yun Qian shook her head, looked seriously at the young man in front of her, and said calmly, "The past doesn’t matter."

"Eh?" Xu Chang’an instinctively felt something was off about Yun Qian’s seriousness, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was, so he hesitated slightly.

Yun Qian closed her rouge box.

If at this moment, she were to see her husband from the past, what kind of scene would it be?

She had witnessed the vicissitudes of life and the passing of time... few things could annoy her now.

No matter in what form the men of the past appeared, even if only in dreams, if such a thing truly occurred, Miss Yun would be annoyed, and in her anger, who knows what she might do.

The first thing, perhaps, would be to completely erase him before that "previous man" could even approach or see her.

Is this heartless?

No.

Because now, she is a woman named "Yun Qian," exclusively the wife of "Xu Chang’an," and not belonging to anyone from the past.

Only the era when her husband entered the world could interest her.

So, the past holds no significance here with Miss Yun.

Only when Yun Qian dies, when the name Yun Qian loses its meaning, can these pasts be considered treasures for Miss Yun returning to the main entity.

She turned to look at Xu Chang’an, pursing her lips painted with rouge.

What she and her husband were like in the past does not matter; she only values now, only values the present.

"The past doesn’t matter." Yun Qian repeated, calmly asking, "Now, who’s better at adorning between Miss Li and Miss Zhu?"

"Miss, you’re asking me... I don’t know, after all, I’m not familiar with such things." Xu Chang’an avoided Yun Qian’s gaze, speaking honestly.

Even though instinctively he felt that brothel’s Zhu Pingniang might be more skilled, to him, Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang were on the same level—a level compared to which neither can match Miss Yun.

So, he wasn’t sure who was truly better.

"You don’t know, so I still have to see for myself." Yun Qian shook her head, thinking this was a question her husband just couldn’t answer.

Because she couldn’t distinguish between Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai.

Could it be her assumption was wrong?

The main wife wasn’t Li Zhibai nor Zhu Pingniang, but someone else?

Shi Qingjun.

Yun Qian suddenly thought of the woman who met her husband under the moon, lost in thought.

Shi Qingjun currently had almost no interaction with Xu Chang’an, but in terms of identity, it seemed only this girl could completely suppress Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai, making them sincerely submissive.

Yun Qian suddenly turned around, staring at Xu Chang’an’s waist.

Because she seemed to have discovered something.

"Miss." Xu Chang’an’s eye twitched: "What are you looking at."

"This." Yun Qian pointed at Xu Chang’an’s waist.

Two accessories were hanging there.

One was a sachet she used to tie her hair, the other... the Glazed Jade gifted by Miss Shi.

Speaking of which, it was because Xu Chang’an wore this Glazed Jade that this sachet for the hair came into being.

"Jade?" Xu Chang’an said somewhat nervously: "I told Miss, this is a token given by a senior on the mountain, a memento meant to be worn, to accelerate the progress of cultivation."

Xu Chang’an didn’t know if it was useful, but anyway, his cultivation speed now compared to before had improved by leaps and bounds, so he got used to wearing it.

"I know." Yun Qian nodded.

The power of habit is massive, and it applies to her as well, like her being pampered with her husband’s snacks on the island, reading books written by her husband, creating an addiction she couldn’t break now.

She was contemplating that Miss Shi.

This place is Qing Province, she is the Lord of Qingzhou.

Shi Qingjun seemed absent, just a bystander.

Yet, thinking carefully, perhaps she was the one following Xu Chang’an all along, because... this Jade Pendant was crafted by Shi Qingjun herself, containing a trace of her Heart Yuan, and Xu Chang’an carried it closely, almost without separating from it.

So perhaps Shi Qingjun was the true one in charge?

At that moment, a chill ran down Yun Qian’s neck, making her shiver, as she noticed Xu Chang’an’s lightly mischievous successful smile.

"What are you daydreaming about." Xu Chang’an asked.

"..." Yun Qian, being watched by Xu Chang’an, felt the lingering warmth on her neck and couldn’t help but lean slightly away from Xu Chang’an.

She calmly said, "Do you have any snacks?"

"We’re about to eat soon, hold on a bit, haven’t you eaten quite a lot just now?" Xu Chang’an blinked.

"Snacks." Yun Qian stared at Xu Chang’an.

"... Yes, yes, I can’t be missing those." Xu Chang’an shook his head, but he couldn’t resist the young lady’s request and took out a sweet bag and placed it in front of Yun Qian.

Of the same style as the one given to Zhu Pingniang.

Yun Qian unwrapped it, placing a green fruit candy into her mouth, savored the slightly sour-sweet taste, and sighed softly after a while.

In the past, she’d eat some snacks while reading, hoping it would make her a little smarter.

Now she realizes, that was just an illusion.

Eating sweets couldn’t make her smarter, only more greedy for treats.

"Things related to you, I can never understand or see clearly." Miss Yun sighed.

Xu Chang’an clicked his tongue.

Not just about snacks?

What was this all about?

Yun Qian rewrapped the snacks and handed them to Xu Chang’an before taking his hand.

Her eyes could see everything in the world clearly, whether it was something that had happened, hadn’t happened, or things people couldn’t comprehend; it was all so clean and clear.

Yet, even with the boost from snacks, such eyes still couldn’t see clearly who would be Xu Chang’an’s main wife if she didn’t appear.

Otherwise, where would she find the need to worry.

In the end.

As long as any matter or person got involved with her husband, it would no longer be something she could interfere with or grasp.

Thus, entering the world would be meaningful to her.

But there’s one thing Yun Qian understood very well, that Shi Qingjun compared to Li Zhibai seemed even less like a woman, and only under Xu Chang’an’s influence did Shi Qingjun just begin to exhibit a hint of womanhood, reaching a level of... appreciating flowers aesthetically.

Under such circumstances, even if Shi Qingjun ended up being the main wife, the matter of rouge was unrelated to her now.

So, it still came down to choosing between Zhu Pingniang and Li Zhibai.

"It’s getting late, let’s go meet that Miss Zhu."

Yun Qian intertwined fingers with Xu Chang’an, only for Xu Chang’an to let go, leaving the young lady startled as she looked over.

But saw Xu Chang’an’s conflicted face.

"Miss... I suddenly remembered something."

"What is it?"

"Senior Zhu, she will get jealous, what should we do." Xu Chang’an was at a loss.

When Yun Qian mentioned rouge, he remembered.

The teacher eagerly taught Miss Yun how to apply makeup and called her "Ms. Yun" repeatedly... as soon as rouge was mentioned to Yun Qian, he couldn’t hide it from Zhu Pingniang; it was impossible to hide.

Though Yun Qian kept calling her "Miss Li" now, in front of the teacher, she followed the teacher’s request and addressed her as "Ms. Li."

No doubt, once Zhu Pingniang realized how much Li Zhibai liked Yun Qian...

She would definitely be jealous.

The problem was, he still needed to ask for Senior Zhu’s help... making her jealous of the young lady would be unwise.

Still, if this matter were intentionally concealed, it would only cause more trouble later when it came to light.

Xu Chang’an thought over and over, abandoning the idea of instructing Yun Qian not to respond to Zhu Pingniang about the Li Zhibai topic during the banquet.

He couldn’t bring himself to have the young lady lie or deceive.

So... he’d better find another way to make Miss Yun less noticeable.

As long as Miss Yun was not too apparent, the senior’s jealousy might not be too intense.

Looking at Yun Qian carefully treated beautiful makeup, Xu Chang’an quietly murmured.

"Miss, remove your makeup."

"...?"
