My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 656 - 0379 Zhu Pingniang’s "Interview" (Two-in-One)

In the room, Zhu Pingniang tilted her head and whispered with Miss Lu.

Not long after.

A woman in a green dress stepped over the threshold, bowed, and said softly.

"Ms. Zhu, Steward Lu."

"Ah Qing?" Zhu Pingniang raised her head and waved her hand.

Miss Lu understood her meaning, tidied Zhu Pingniang’s messy clothes, and then retreated behind the screen, leaving the space for Zhu Pingniang and Miss Aqing.

It was evident that after Miss Lu’s figure disappeared, even though Ah Qing knew she was still in the room, her tense body gradually relaxed.

"You girls are really something."

Zhu Pingniang motioned for Ah Qing to sit down, then said helplessly, "Not afraid of me, but afraid of her?"

Miss Aqing smiled but said nothing.

Zhu Pingniang didn’t mind, she only asked.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don’t know."

Miss Aqing’s tone was soft, with a hint of doubt in her light green eyes.

"Don’t you want to know why I removed your disguise, letting the girls see your eyes?"

Zhu Pingniang thought that Ah Qing would feel uneasy about her disguise being exposed... She might not complain, but she’d be at least nervous, right?

But unexpectedly, the girl in front of her was extremely calm.

"Elder sister must have your reasons." Miss Aqing lifted her long hair that half-covered her left eye, letting her light green eyes reflect the lamp’s glow: "Ah Qing just needs to follow you."

"I don’t think you’re a girl without your own ideas." Zhu Pingniang laughed.

She really liked the nature of this girl.

"In the Flower Moon Building, having your own ideas is pointless, it’s better to listen to you." Miss Aqing said, "Aunt always says, following you will let us eat meat."

"Not afraid of getting fat, huh? Eating meat, following me, you’ll eat grass." Zhu Pingniang smiled, her eyes full of teasing.

"As you wish." Miss Aqing glanced behind the screen with a smile, "Ms. Zhu, do you think it’s time for the sisters to know?"

"Almost, after all, keeping it from them isn’t right, they’ll find out sooner or later." Zhu Pingniang said truthfully, "Now that Chang’an is supporting you, the timing is right."

"I see." Miss Aqing lightly held her skirt and bowed: "Thanks for your trouble, sister."

She knew that Zhu Pingniang was making efforts to help her integrate into the Flower Moon Building and be accepted for her half-demon identity.

"You earn me silver, if I don’t bother with it, who will?" Zhu Pingniang tilted her head, admiring Miss Aqing’s graceful figure, and casually flipped through the ledger, clicking her tongue.

"Your building hasn’t had many guests lately." Zhu Pingniang squinted her eyes.

"Back to you, sister, fewer young masters have come to listen to music lately." Miss Aqing replied honestly.

"That won’t do, go back and tell your aunt..."

Zhu Pingniang was about to speak when she suddenly heard Miss Lu cough from behind the screen.

"Oh."

That’s reminding her to get to the main topic.

Zhu Pingniang thought she almost deviated from the topic, nodded: "Alright, later I’ll discuss it with your aunt alone... so, what was I going to ask..."

Zhu Pingniang thought for a moment.

"Ah Qing."

"Yes." Ah Qing looked up.

"You’re not allowed to fall for that Chang’an kid." Zhu Pingniang spoke seriously.

Ah Qing: "..."

Miss Lu behind the screen: "..."

——

The atmosphere froze.

"Eh, wasn’t I supposed to say this?" Zhu Pingniang blinked.

She only remembered that Miss Aqing seemed to have feelings for Xu Chang’an, so to prevent her girl from following in Qingluo’s footsteps, she mentioned it first.

"Ms. Zhu, many sisters like the young master, right?" Miss Aqing was puzzled, "Why say that."

"Because you’re different from them." Zhu Pingniang pouted, "Those girls have the desire but not the courage."

Being half-demon, Ah Qing certainly had more initiative than the girls in Flower Moon Building.

"Is that so?"

Ah Qing pondered, "Ms. Zhu, Ah Qing is no longer a thief now either."

"Not now." Zhu Pingniang asked, "Were you before?"

"Yes." Ah Qing thought for a while and asked, "Does stealing someone’s chicken as a child count?"

"Was it tasty?" Zhu Pingniang became interested.

"I don’t remember, but it filled me up." Miss Aqing looked nostalgic, "Not as good as the pastries in our building."

"Of course." Zhu Pingniang nodded, then noticed Miss Aqing’s gaze on the Sweet Bag in front of her and immediately hugged it protectively.

"I risked my face to ask this from Chang’an, don’t even think about it."

"...I wouldn’t dare to share the young master’s kindness." Miss Aqing said helplessly.

Miss Lu behind the screen also covered her face.

My dear Ms. Zhu, could you be any more embarrassing?

——

"Even if you dared ask, I wouldn’t give it." Zhu Pingniang snorted, "Is life in the Flower Moon Building comfortable?"

"Yes." Miss Aqing responded, then seriously said, "Having someone to rely on is a good thing."

"You’re relying on me." Zhu Pingniang patted her chest proudly.

Miss Aqing chimed in, "Of course, it’s you."

"I know you’re relying on me, eating my food, using my things, sleeping in my place." Zhu Pingniang glanced at the screen, shrugged, "But what if my timid little girl worries you’ll steal chickens again?"

"Ms. Zhu, you said... when you’re full, who would steal chickens?" Miss Aqing asked.

"Because you’re half-demon."

Zhu Pingniang didn’t avoid the topic: "After your identity is exposed... if any trouble arises, they’ll most likely blame you first."
