My Wife Is The Final Boss

Chapter 1018: Chapter 560: The True Daughter of the Celestial Dao (Two-in-One)

She just realized Miss Lu’s thoughts, and a mere seat stumped her. Can’t she have a little ambition?

"It’s not that." Miss Lu’s eye twitched. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Anyway, after sitting higher than Wen Li, she couldn’t sleep well anyway, so she stopped thinking about it.

But she noticed something else.

After a while...

Xu Chang’an arrived, Yun Qian was on the left of Li Zhibai, and Zhu Pingniang was on the right.

Where would Xu Chang’an sit?

Next to Wen Li?

Are you kidding?

Isn’t that going to separate the nice young couple?

She couldn’t accept that.

She needed to think of a way to shuffle Ms. Zhu to a lower seat to make room for the young master.

For Miss Lu, this was a rare moment to witness something sweet because... who knows when she might next see Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian together?

So she wanted to observe as much interaction between the young lady and the young master as possible and imprint it deeply in her mind.

In this way, even if she gets upset again by the silly girls in the brothel, recalling these beautiful moments would instantly heal her spirit.

The more of this spiritual medicine, the better.

She carefully observed the arrangement of the soft chairs in the banquet hall. Since there was no more room on Li Zhibai’s left, she was undoubtedly in the top seat, and no one present would think that Li Zhibai didn’t deserve that position. So, no matter what, she couldn’t consider Li Zhibai’s spot.

Yun Qian had been sitting there from the beginning, looking listless and clearly lacking energy.

So the problem came down to her sister Zhu’s seat.

Her own sister Zhu sat without thinking and took Xu Chang’an’s seat.

Seriously.

You don’t even like Yun Qian, why sit next to her?

Wait.

Miss Lu keenly noticed Zhu Pingniang’s gaze occasionally drifting over Yun Qian and landing on Li Zhibai.

Could it be that her sister Zhu wanted to sit closer to Miss Li?

It was indeed possible.

Regardless of the reason, she had to get Zhu Pingniang to vacate the seat before Xu Chang’an arrived, because if he came... given his nature, he would never ask an elder to give up a seat for him.

"Sister Zhu." Miss Lu gently tugged at Zhu Pingniang’s sleeve.

"What do you want?" Zhu Pingniang was quite irritable and not in a good mood at all.

Even though she said she wouldn’t be jealous of Yun Qian, when Li Zhibai spoke pointless words to the sleepy Yun Qian one after another and tried to engage her, there was still a sour feeling in her heart.

She couldn’t accept it.

When she used to interact with Li Zhibai, it was always her who started the conversation.

"I’m in a bad mood right now, don’t provoke me." Zhu Pingniang glared at the girl who dared to say she was out of shape before: "If you open your mouth again about that pointless seating, I’ll whip you when we get back."

Miss Lu: "..."

What mattered to her was not who was in the top seat, but... she couldn’t let Miss Yun and the young master be separated. Wouldn’t it be nice to let them stay close together?

"...Hmm?" It was at this moment that Li Zhibai suddenly paused, as if she had discovered something.

Then she just stared at Miss Lu.

"What’s wrong?" Zhu Pingniang saw Li Zhibai dawdling and was quite puzzled.

"Tong Jun, your daughter..." Li Zhibai’s tone was somewhat skeptical and uncertain, but she didn’t finish her sentence. She just looked Miss Lu up and down with a puzzled expression.

"Greetings, Miss Li."

As she was being stared at, Miss Lu stood up and bowed, thinking to herself that she finally had the chance to leave this prickly seat, but what puzzled her more was... why Li Zhibai suddenly stared at her without any prior indication.

Zhu Pingniang was equally curious about this.

Wasn’t Ah Bai talking to Yun Qian? Why was she suddenly gawking at her daughter?

She glanced at Miss Lu, who looked utterly confused, tilting her head.

Just as unimpressive as before, what’s there to be concerned about?

"Ah Bai, what’s up with her?"

"...Nothing." Li Zhibai stared at Miss Lu for a while, then gave her a deep look before sitting back down without any explanation.

"Hmph... making my girl stand up and bow, how amusing," Zhu Pingniang grumbled, feeling slightly aggrieved.

"Sister Zhu." Miss Lu said helplessly: "What are you talking about?"

"Alright, sit down. Did I raise a daughter or find a stewardess?" Zhu Pingniang scoffed, grabbing Miss Lu and pulling her back onto the chair.

"Fine." Miss Lu covered her face as she returned.

At this moment, Zhu Pingniang suddenly patted her leg, looked at Li Zhibai, and casually said, "Girl, we are all family here, so even if she calls you... just answer her."

No need to stand up and bow.

Miss Lu was startled for a moment, then said, "Sister, you’re really putting me in a difficult position."

She understood the reasoning, but she was, after all, a courtesan. How could she be at ease?

Zhu Pingniang had no solution either.

After all, ever since Qinling appeared, she raised her second daughter cautiously, unlike Qinling, who had broadened her horizons by following her everywhere.

Given Miss Lu’s timid nature, it wasn’t her fault.

"At least, you don’t need to be courteous to her." Zhu Pingniang reminded her.
