He stopped and looked at Song Meiqin, who was still standing in the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s go home. Aren’t you cold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin stood on the walkway, quietly surveying the small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long look, she finally turned back to Lu Yuan and said with a sigh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought much of it when I visited before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at it now, I feel like...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to be living here for the rest of my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Song Meiqin’s words, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and gave her a wicked smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not necessarily true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin looked at Lu Yuan, confused. ’What does he mean, ’not necessarily true’?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan tilted his chin up and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once we have kids and run out of room, we might have to build a bigger house to live in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin gazed at Lu Yuan’s mischievous grin. Whatever she was thinking, a blush crept onto her cheeks as she said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just how many kids would we have to have to not fit in a courtyard this big?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan said with an amused look,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows? You’ve heard for yourself how... vigorous I am, Aunt Song~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Song Meiqin shot Lu Yuan a bashful glare and chided him coquettishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re like a bull in heat every night, can’t you be a little quieter?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re so loud nobody can sleep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan just chuckled without saying more. He reached out, pulled Song Meiqin toward him, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, enough with the sentimental sighs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s get home before you freeze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a shy young bride, Song Meiqin let Lu Yuan pull her along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he pulled her, Lu Yuan let go of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Song Meiqin could say anything, she felt that same hand slide around her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin’s body stiffened for a moment, but then it quickly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head, her beautiful face looking lush and alluring as she pouted at Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you getting so handsy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan tilted his head and shot her a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I not allowed to hold you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin looked at Lu Yuan, incredibly shy, yet her gaze didn’t waver. She stared boldly at him and said in a honeyed voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on, then~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The next few days.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end of the year was fast approaching, and Aunt Zhao couldn’t slack off even if she wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a large household, she had to decide who got bonuses and who got gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was staying for the New Year and who was going home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao had to handle all these miscellaneous tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also had to settle the main accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to calculate everything in detail and also arrange for next year’s ore mining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao had to do it all; no one else could figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this year was different from previous years because Song Meiqin had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Song Meiqin was a proud woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She certainly wasn’t the type to just sit around doing nothing from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Song Meiqin helped out with the accounting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife, Su Liyan, also joined in to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn’t need anyone to wait on him these days. When he had free time, he would go out and check on the progress of the factory outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was nearing completion. Once the New Year passed, they would have to start hiring people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan couldn’t slack off either; this was something only he could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lu Yuan wasn’t home and the two \"aunts\" were busy with the household accounts, Su Liyan simply joined them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was idle anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the seven or eight days since their return from Liangshan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the four of them had been methodically busy with their tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Dinnertime, on the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re finally done! Why are your household’s accounts so difficult to calculate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin grumbled as she gathered the ledgers and sat down at the dinner table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao, however, smiled like a sly fox and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because we gave all the difficult accounts to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Meiqin heard this, she exclaimed petulantly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s it, Zhao Qiao’Er! You were deliberately making things difficult for me, weren’t you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Qiao’Er just laughed, quickly putting an arm around Song Meiqin and cooing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my dear sister, we just know how skilled you are with numbers~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been wanting to drag you over to do our books for ages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, I finally got my wish~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er’s words made Song Meiqin laugh in exasperation. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, get away with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy to earn a meal in your house~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it’s just this busy period before the New Year. Later on, you won’t even have a chance to be this busy if you wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, these aren’t *my* family’s accounts, they’re *our* family’s accounts~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Zhao Qiao’Er turned to the other two and called out sweetly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sweetheart, Liyan~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the dishes are served. Come and eat~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were over at a long table, fiddling with some red paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without turning his head, Lu Yuan replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In a minute. We’re almost done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lu Yuan wasn’t coming, Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin didn’t pick up their chopsticks either. They asked curiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you two working on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan turned and grinned at the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re having Liyan write the couplets for our central courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so we’ll put up the couplets and make dumplings ourselves. No need to trouble anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin’s interest was piqued, and they nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lu Yuan turned to his stunning wife beside him and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s eat first. We can write after we’re done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were seated did Song Meiqin and Zhao Qiao’Er finally start eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan also began to eat heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan, however, wasn’t eating much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been picking at a small piece of lamb for ages without taking a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong, honey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the new cook’s food not to your liking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan asked, looking at Su Liyan with a puzzled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife hadn’t been eating much for the past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he hadn’t thought much of it, since she was normally a light eater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, the manor’s original cook wasn’t from Taiping City but from a neighboring county.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to go home early for the New Year, so this was a newly assigned cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Maybe she just doesn’t like the new dishes,’ he had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter what, how could she stare at one piece of meat for so long without being able to eat it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan himself had already finished most of a large bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to get a refill when he noticed that same piece of meat was still in his wife’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lu Yuan spoke, Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin blinked, then craned their necks to look into Su Liyan’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance, then both turned to Su Liyan with joyful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liyan, you couldn’t be pregnant, could you??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan was taken aback. An excited look flashed across her face, but then she thought for a moment and mumbled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... but I don’t feel like throwing up or anything...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just don’t really have an appetite...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er and Song Meiqin immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and rushed to Su Liyan’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, pregnancy symptoms are different for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not everyone gets morning sickness, and some people have no symptoms at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Meiqin, at her side, nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, that’s right! And judging by the timing, it’s about time you got pregnant, Liyan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With him going at it like a bull in heat every night...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could anyone *not* get pregnant!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, with a CLATTER, everyone turned to see that Lu Yuan had thrown down his bowl and chopsticks and was already running out the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women quickly called out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without looking back, Lu Yuan shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To get the Physician!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1611,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f666bcd974ef85347965dffd150439d1e7ac7e5f6d5c97dd61bfc908042e63b","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-166","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-165",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
