From the look on her face, he could tell she’d been unable to sleep, waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Su Liyan saw her man, she wrapped her arms around him, her face filled with worry as she whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear, where did you go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t come back for dinner, and you stayed out so late...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, under normal circumstances, Su Liyan wouldn’t have been so worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main thing was, this afternoon her husband had said what he said and then just turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan suddenly had the feeling that he was about to head straight for Xilingzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her husband’s paltry skills, how could she not worry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked at his wife’s worried little face and could guess what was on her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled, reaching out to gently pinch her delicate chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Worried I went looking for that Xingzi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I went to get something to deal with the Xingzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Liyan relaxed a little. But then she thought about it, and something seemed wrong. She quickly said in a sweet, pleading voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dear, you’re not going to go there yourself, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan pursed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you take me for a fool? That’s a two-hundred-year-old Xingzi. I’m not going anywhere near it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Su Liyan was finally at ease, but she added one more thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, dear, if you do decide to go, you have to tell me no matter what, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan didn’t waste any more words on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, after quickly stripping off his clothes, he scooped up his wife with a wicked grin and placed her on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan froze. She glanced toward Aunt Zhao’s bed, her face flushing crimson as she said shyly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, dear~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao is in the room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yuan just chuckled, pouncing on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just try not to moan later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan, looking absolutely delectable, whispered shyly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, but how can I hold it in...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dear~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The next morning.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan went out to fetch hot water for her husband to wash his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though there were maids in the house, Su Liyan wouldn’t let anyone else attend to her man; she had to do it herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan, meanwhile, got out of bed and started getting dressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, there was a stir from the other side of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked up to see the curtain opposite him being drawn aside. Aunt Zhao emerged, attended by several maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she looked a little haggard, with dark circles under her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan walked over, grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt, didn’t sleep well last night? Worried about that Xilingzi thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you, don’t worry about it. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Aunt Zhao dismissed the maids, she strode over to Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached out, gave the flesh of his waist a sharp twist, and hissed with feigned anger:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staying up all night, tormenting Liyan for all you’re worth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s a young woman, just married! Can she even handle you tormenting her like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan clutched his side, wincing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How was that me tormenting Liyan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re going to eavesdrop, you have to listen to the whole thing! Wasn’t it Liyan clinging to me for the second half of the night?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t take no for an answer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Qiao’Er’s face turned beet red. She clicked her tongue at Lu Yuan and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re shameless! Now go wash your face and hands!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At breakfast, Lu Yuan only had a few bites before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Zhao Qiao’Er led Su Liyan to the main hall, where they lay on wooden rocking chairs, leisurely basking in the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, the old butler came in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er didn’t open her eyes. Hearing footsteps as light as a cat’s, she knew who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her lovely eyes gently closed, she rocked her chair softly and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s my sweetheart busy with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler glanced at Su Liyan, but Zhao Qiao’Er said directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler, startled, immediately replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s busy working on something to deal with the Xingzi from Xilingzi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Zhao Qiao’Er nor Su Liyan reacted much to this statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan had already found out last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhao Qiao’Er had probably figured it out after she’d had time to think yesterday afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er asked nonchalantly, her eyes still closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler said awkwardly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... the Young Nephew’s talent is extraordinary. A servant like me can hardly presume to guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps... it might work...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler had listened to Lu Yuan go on for quite a while yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something about a \"Flying Thunder\" and a \"No-Conscience Mortar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this and that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, he hadn’t understood a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Zhao Qiao’Er nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give him whatever he wants. Let him do as he pleases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll say it again: in this house, what he says, goes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler immediately nodded seriously, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just the matter of Xilingzi, Madam. What are your thoughts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should we perhaps send for the Celestial Master from the Adjacent Province?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er still showed little reaction, merely stating indifferently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t bother. The Court is going to surround the entire Taining Mountain to search it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers and Celestial Masters from other provinces have already entered the Taining Mountain Range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler didn’t know this. Zhao Qiao’Er must have learned it while chatting with Song Meiqin yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler frowned, looking troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then in that case, we’re in trouble...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam, what should we do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Qiao’Er changed the subject from Xilingzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly opened her beautiful eyes, looked out at the tranquil courtyard, still empty of workers, and said wistfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know what’s come over me these past two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it’s old age, but I suddenly feel so tired, so weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve lost my drive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler stared at Zhao Qiao’Er, somewhat stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er, however, simply shifted to a more comfortable position, stretched her graceful body languidly, and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, we won’t be able to hold on to that mining area in Xilingzi for much longer anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if this incident hadn’t happened, the Court would have probably reclaimed it in a few years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old butler stood rooted to the spot, noncommittal. Zhao Qiao’Er closed her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Taining Mountain matter can be resolved early, if a Celestial Master can be found, then so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, then I’m not going to worry about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go on, go on, don’t keep me from my rest. I didn’t sleep well last night, so I need to catch up now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t bother me with anything today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Su Liyan, who was sitting nearby, blushed furiously and didn’t dare make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things having come to this, the old butler couldn’t say much more. As he was about to leave, he asked in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, since you wish to rest, should we halt the work on the East Wing for today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Qiao’Er said flatly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we stop the construction on the East Wing and that stubborn little donkey finds out, wouldn’t he get mad at me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t dare provoke him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just find me a wad of cotton. I’ll plug my ears myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Five days later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Inside the East Wing.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my~ why is it so hot in here? It makes me want to take my clothes off~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’Er was leaning back in a chair in the East Wing’s main hall, one leg crossed over the other, holding a teacup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directed a snide remark at a stunned-looking Song Meiqin, who was beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1484,"2026-05-30T14:11:52.988Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.829Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef6c27d85f35d844b37dfdc323730c0a3d6842f148e5ee8722dfe4599a3bd07b","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-69","marrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-chapter-67",258,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarrying-a-white-snake-wife-is-super-cool-cover.jpg"]
