Zhu Pingniang's face was full of emotion, rendering Miss Aqing speechless.
"?"
Zhu Tongjun...
Is this woman a bit out of her mind?
——At this moment, Miss Aqing couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Alright, if you don't want to say, I won't ask," Zhu Pingniang said, not wanting the girl to feel cornered. "But being protected by someone, you weren't lying about that, right?"
"Yes." Miss Aqing nodded.
Zhu Pingniang asked, "Was it someone you relied on before you depended on me?"
"Before you, Sister, I only relied on myself," Miss Aqing said seriously.
"I see."
Zhu Pingniang looked a bit disappointed and said with a hint of meaning, "As a young lady, learning to rely on others is also very important."
After all, without cultivation, women are naturally at a disadvantage in the world.
Having someone to rely on can make life easier.
That's reality.
But ironically, in front of Zhu Pingniang was a true "strong woman," so Miss Aqing became curious instead.
