As Yun Qian mentioned wanting a daughter with Xu Chang’an, the expressions of the three women present varied.

Wen Li’s eyebrows relaxed as she recalled Xu Chang’an’s gentle smile when he was with Xiaohua, and then she replaced Xiaohua’s 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 brother’s daughter would be like.

Miss Wen didn’t 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 Chang’an’s daughter wouldn’t fear her like Gu Qiancheng did.

Just as Xu Chang’an 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 didn’t need to know the essence of it; her logic always followed her husband’s lead.

"..." Unlike Wen Li’s comforting smile, Miss Lu didn’t 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 wasn’t entirely her fault for being lustful; unlike the Immortal Sect where Wen Li came from, for Wen Li... even if Xu Chang’an 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 wouldn’t want that?

No shame in that.

"..."

Unlike Wen Li and Miss Lu, when Zhu Pingniang heard Yun Qian mention a daughter, she didn’t think about the girl’s 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 didn’t have a biological daughter. Moreover, as she loved Li Zhibai, she feared she’d 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...?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Upon hearing Zhu Pingniang’s 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, it’s probably like..." Yun Qian started, but Miss Lu waved her hands vigorously, face flushed as if blood could drip.

"Miss Yun, don’t say... ignore Ms. Zhu; she’s 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 won’t say anymore."

The recent matter, in a quarter of an hour, wasn’t worth discussing.

Back when he didn’t 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, it’s 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 couldn’t ask such a question.

"Ms. Zhu, you... if you truly want to know, why not ask the girls in the building?" Miss Lu’s earlobes were beet red.

"Ask them? What’s there to ask, with their trivial affairs, those fake phoenix plays? I don’t care to ask." Zhu Pingniang sneered, "Besides, sooner or later, I’ll conquer Ah Bai. I’ll 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 couldn’t be said to be nonexistent, but it was frighteningly low.

"Ms. Zhu." Miss Lu’s eyelashes fluttered.

In this world, it’s rare to find women speaking so openly; even the girls in the brothel had more reservations.

Zhu Pingniang could express her affection for Xu Chang’an 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, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking, but sister, I’ve known for a while, speaking from the heart... won’t make Ms. Yun dislike me... am I right, sister?"

Despite her irreverent words, Yun Qian wouldn’t resent her; that was one reason why Zhu Pingniang liked Yun Qian so much.
