She was completely preoccupied with what she was going to do later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Yuan was looking over the notebook, he suddenly slapped his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! I forgot to mention, we need to send a message. We won’t be able to go back for a while. It’ll be a few days before we can return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Zhao Qiao’Er took a sip of her tea and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s nothing. Li Fu, arrange for someone to ride to Changliu Village by express horse. Let my nephew’s wife’s parents know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell them we’ll be back in two days to hold the banquet, and that they should start preparing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler waiting outside the door acknowledged the order and sent someone to carry it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, the old butler returned and announced:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, the hour is almost upon us. We must be ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er nodded, then turned to look at Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without needing Zhao Qiao’Er to say a word, Lu Yuan immediately stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, I’ll take my wife to an inn first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler’s sudden announcement had made Zhao Qiao’Er a little nervous, so she wasn’t really paying attention to what Lu Yuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aunt won’t see you off, then. I still have to get ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan paused. ’See me off?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’m coming right back.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn’t say anything, though. He just led Su Liyan out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Liyan’s mind was a tangled mess. She obediently followed her husband, her thoughts in turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two of them left the Zhao Family residence, a cold wind blew against their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to sober Su Liyan up a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not like I have to stick to my husband’s side every second, is it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the finest inn in Taiping City, Lu Yuan chose the best room for his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave her a few instructions and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things were about to start over at Aunt Zhao’s, so he had to hurry back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, Su Liyan didn’t insist on going with her husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just told her husband to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After settling his wife in, Lu Yuan trotted all the way back to the Zhao Family residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, the guards at the gate were already preparing to close them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw Lu Yuan, they were all confused. ’Why is the young master back again?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of them dared to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who in the Zhao Family didn’t know by now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The madam doted on this nephew as if he were her own close son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Lu Yuan ran unimpeded all the way back to the main hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er, who was in the middle of discussing matters with the old butler, was stunned to see Lu Yuan run back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweetheart, why are you back again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never said I was leaving. I just came back after getting my wife settled at the inn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er: \"????\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At that moment, in Changliu Village.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was absolutely bustling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village, usually dead silent at night, was filled with the JINGLE JANGLE of bells on the necks of oxen and horses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Elder Sister, we’ll be heading back now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll have your work cut out for you tonight. Your son-in-law bought quite a lot, and there’s still more on the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Shopkeeper smiled as he folded up the receipt Su Liyan’s mother had signed and carefully tucked it into his robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan’s mother was beaming. She waved her hand and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, please, how could I feel tired on such a happy occasion? It’s pitch black out, so be careful on your way back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying goodbye to the Shopkeeper, Su Liyan’s mother saw that the others were still unloading and there were no more receipts to sign. She stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the man still squatting on the doorframe smoking his pipe and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop smoking and go wake up Second Brother’s and Lao San’s families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our son-in-law bought a lot of things, and there’s definitely more coming. Have them come over and help take inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, it’s the dead of night. Put the valuable things inside the house, and keep an eye on the rest in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t let anyone sneak off with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Liyan’s father nodded repeatedly, put away his pipe, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m on it, I’m on it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Liyan’s mother looked at her son, Su Changliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changliang, if there are any more receipts, you sign them. But you have to check the quantities carefully. Make sure nothing is missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your brother-in-law paid for all of this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changliang nodded again and again. Of course, he would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Su Liyan’s mother went inside, found a basket in the corner, and prepared to head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and son saw this and asked, puzzled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan’s mother waved her hand and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our son-in-law is creeped out by the Xingzi. I’m going to shoo away the ones along the stretch from our village to the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t have him getting scared when he arrives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the father and son nodded emphatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan’s father quickly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then hurry, hurry! I’ll go get Second Brother’s and Lao San’s families. Changliang, you watch the house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the old couple left the house together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan’s mother headed out of the village with her basket, while Su Liyan’s father headed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were quite a few Xingzi around Changliu Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No... to be precise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were very, very many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say that Su Liyan’s mother \"raised\" these Xingzi would be a bit of a deviation from the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More accurately, Su Liyan’s mother *allowed* these Xingzi to be around the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with her status as a Celestial Master, she would have dealt with these Xingzi long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she didn’t was simple: there were too many Xingzi in the world. Could you ever get rid of them all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might deal with one today, but who knows when another might sneak over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could never finish the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that, it was better to come to a peaceful understanding with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll let you stay around the village and won’t deal with you, but you can’t harm anyone.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, letting these Xingzi stay had another benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a malevolent one were to ever sneak over, intent on causing harm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...the Xingzi already around the village would surely not tolerate its presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for this very reason that Changliu Village had never had any incidents of malevolent spirits harming people for all these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only problem was that Changliu Village was too remote, far from the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too poor. Few women were willing to marry into the village, and the villagers themselves wanted to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Changliu Village had never become a large village like Shige Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in a way, it wasn’t entirely wrong to say that the Xingzi around the village were raised by Su Liyan’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before leaving the village, Su Liyan’s mother squatted down and filled her basket with sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she looked around, searching for stones to pick up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a large willow tree nearby began to RUSTLE.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ghastly, spectral face materialized on its trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Sister, you’re being far too stingy~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have so much food at home now, yet you’re still trying to fob us little ghosts off with this stuff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spectral face on the willow tree spoke with an accent from the Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>",1416,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.708Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","5a36c994c6976ebd0e6fb223df694cd1f9f99c3a728636c74956a85932d4e07c","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-33","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-31",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
