Chapter 918: Chapter 508: The Deliciousness of Wine (Double-Length) (2)

"Aren’t you going back to the banquet?" Ah Qing paused and asked softly, "If it’s because of us... delaying the young master and the lady... this girl won’t be able to sleep tonight."

The yellow-clad girl nodded vigorously, "Steward, you should head back quickly, don’t let the young master wait too long."

Miss Lu listened to these ’chasing away’ words but wasn’t angry. After all, she was used to being ’unwelcome’... but listening to their words, a strange expression appeared on her face.

Miss Lu’s mouth twitched slightly, she silently said, "For now... I can’t go back to the banquet."

"?"

Hearing Miss Lu’s words, Ah Qing froze for a moment.

What was with this indescribable expression?

What happened at the banquet?

Because it was the young master’s banquet, Ah Qing would not use her Divine Sense to spy out of respect for the young master and Miss Yun... but Miss Lu’s attitude undoubtedly piqued her curiosity.

However, the Cyan Snake’s curiosity wasn’t severe, so she could choose not to ask.

Miss Lu sighed lightly.

She didn’t know how to describe the situation at the banquet... Overall, it was just very strange, and she couldn’t sit still.

Originally, after Li Zhibai and Zhu Pingniang left, the pressure on her shoulders lightened a lot, so Miss Lu was grateful for Li Zhibai’s kindness. She could somewhat feel the other party moved Zhu Pingniang away to give her a chance to blend in.

But the things that happened later...

When she thought back to the nucleus, Miss Lu’s eyelashes couldn’t help but tremble.

Can anyone tell her why, just by spacing out for a moment, Yun Qian was feeding Wen Li?

Yun Qian put forward such a strange request without any emotional burden, as if it was the most natural thing to say.

And that outrageously handsome Miss Wen from the Immortal Sect didn’t refuse?!

Wen Li was surprised for a moment, but... did! Not! Refuse!

The key was, Xu Chang’an also didn’t say anything meaningful, just helplessly smiled bitterly.

So Miss Lu couldn’t understand.

From the beginning, Yun Qian and Wen Li hadn’t exchanged many words, and yet... were they on such good terms?

She thought about how she had previously advised Yun Qian to be wary of Wen Li, warning Yun Qian that ’Wen Li might only be approaching you for the young master,’ and just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

But she was still confused for a long time.

With Miss Yun’s personality, how good must their relationship be for her, who isn’t very strong, to voluntarily carry a bowl to feed Miss Wen of the Immortal Sect?

And Wen Li, clearly from the Immortal Sect, obediently took one spoonful after another, just like feeding a cat.

So under such circumstances, the atmosphere at the banquet became extremely bizarre.

[Yun Qian is feeding Wen Li porridge.]

[Xu Chang’an is watching Yun Qian feed Wen Li porridge.]

[She is sitting on the side, restless.]

This atmosphere, it’s truly life-threatening.

——

Miss Lu downed the drink in her hand, looked at the perplexed Ah Qing, and couldn’t help shaking her head.

After all, she couldn’t integrate herself; at that time, just restraining herself from giving Yun Qian and Wen Li strange looks was already her limit. Later on, after eating her fill, she found an excuse to the proposed program and escaped the banquet.

If she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t have been able to hide her impolite gaze.

Rather than sitting there feeling imprisoned, it was better to check on Ah Qing, after all, Zhu Pingniang worried about her tirelessly.

Returning to the Flower Moon Building, she finally felt she was back in her territory, not like her slightly timid self at the banquet.

In the Flower Moon Building, she called the shots.

So even though Miss Lu was wearing a dress, she propped up one foot, displaying her figure in the most comfortable posture, venting much of the frustration she felt from Xu Chang’an’s side.

"Ah Qing, have a drink with me?" Miss Lu shook her glass.

"Listening to you, sister." Ah Qing nodded, calling her "sister" with practiced familiarity.

Miss Lu poured the drink and then saw the yellow-clad girl hesitating, yet shivering, and couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you afraid she’ll get drunk? Do you really think your Ms. Qing is just an ordinary girl?"

Zhu Pingniang had told her that as a Half-Demon, Ah Qing had cultivation to back her up and wouldn’t be affected by alcohol.

"Eh... Ms. Qing won’t get drunk?" the yellow-clad girl asked in surprise.

"I said, she won’t." Ah Qing said, standing up, and said softly, "Ah Qing toasts sister with a cup."

"Mm."

The two clinked glasses and drank.

Miss Lu relaxed and enjoyed the wine, feeling very comfortable.

This drink wasn’t just for show; she genuinely had a good impression of the Flower Moon Building’s steward, Miss Lu. Not to mention her contributions to the Flower Moon Building, about the yellow-clad girl in front of her... According to her, Miss Lu took quite good care of her back then. It wouldn’t be wrong to call her a mother.

But... is it normal for a mother to discipline her daughter?

So, the yellow-clad girl hadn’t escaped many scoldings from Miss Lu, which made her quite afraid.

Ah Qing put down her glass, couldn’t help but smirk.

Fate is truly mysterious, letting her willingly toast the steward of a brothel.

Miss Lu also smiled.

Indeed, even if she held the most ’humble’ position with Zhu Pingniang, as soon as she returned to the Flower Moon Building, she could regain her confidence.

Only the yellow-clad girl sat looking around, not knowing what these two women were laughing about.

"What’s so good about the wine?" The yellow-clad girl found Miss Lu in a good mood and got a little bolder, even dared to mumble.

"You silly girl." Miss Lu patted the ponytail of the girl, looked at Ah Qing, and said, "Ah Qing, explain to her why wine tastes good."

She could tell from Ah Qing’s demeanor that she was also a girl who enjoyed drinking.

"I don’t drink much either, just picked it up from the sisters in the Flower Moon Building." Ah Qing explained briefly before explained to the yellow-clad girl, "Girlie, the goodness of wine lies in its bitterness."

"...?" A question mark appeared above the yellow-clad girl’s head.

She understood every word, but together they made no sense.

What do you mean the goodness of wine lies in its bitterness, is it a riddle?

Yet the observant young girl sneaked a glance at Miss Lu and found her nodding gently, clearly satisfied with Ah Qing’s answer, then shrunk her head and admitted honestly.

"Ms. Qing, Steward Lu... I don’t understand."

"It’s okay if you don’t understand." Miss Lu smiled warmly, gracefully poured a pot of fruit tea, "If you’re not used to it, just drink some juice." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

A sweet little girl should keep her innocence.

No need to align with them, these older women, on everything.

Only, Miss Lu looked at Ah Qing curiously.

Now assured that the Flower Moon Building would gradually accept Ah Qing, she truly wanted to find an opportunity to understand what Ah Qing really thought.

Speaking of which.

Ladies drinking, either for the natural flush after a few drinks, those slightly tipsy looks surpassing any rouge, beautifully charming.

Or they just want that intoxicated feeling, casting all worries aside.

In any case, whatever the reason, ladies who drink aim to get ’drunk.’

As a Half-Demon, Ah Qing couldn’t get drunk... yet she loved drinking, why?

Miss Lu was very curious.

Was it really just to enjoy the taste of wine?

Don’t joke.

Without the drunk feeling, how many girls would like the taste of alcohol?

Wash down some food?

They’re even afraid of gaining weight.

"Ah Qing, you can’t get drunk from drinking, why do you still enjoy it?" Miss Lu asked.

"I do like it a lot." Hearing Miss Lu’s question, Ah Qing said calmly, "Most of the time, watching drunk people when you’re sober is pretty boring, but how would the sober know the joys of being drunk?"

Miss Lu froze upon hearing this, pondering, "Then are you drunk or sober?"

"Naturally, I can’t get drunk." Ah Qing couldn’t help but sigh, "That’s why I like to drink."

"Strange girl." Miss Lu smiled.

"In short... the sisters all like drinking, and I wanted to fit in, so I got used to it." Ah Qing smiled bitterly.

"I see." Miss Lu nodded.

That made much more sense.
