Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 80 - 74: You Woman, Why Do You Tell Outsiders Everything!
Once the old steward and his men finished cleaning up, they would naturally have to return and report the situation to Aunt Zhao.
Given how much Aunt Zhao doted on him, she would never have the heart to scold him for leading a large group of people to Xilingzi last night for such a dangerous affair. Instead, she was bound to take her anger out on the old steward and the others.
’Poor old steward...’
He had promised he’d make sure the old steward was fine, but then he came back and conked right out.
’I figure Aunt Zhao must have caught him and chewed him out all morning.’
’When it came to him, Aunt Zhao was always cooing about her sweetheart and darling.’
’But with others...’
’Her tongue-lashings could be incredibly nasty.’
Arriving quickly at the main hall in the front courtyard, Lu Yuan walked in to see a row of people kneeling.
They were the leaders of the Travelers from last night.
Of course, the old steward, Li Fu, was no exception.
He was kneeling at the very front. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
’The best seat in the house for hearing the holy sermon.’
His wife and Song Meiqin were sitting on chairs to one side.
Song Meiqin’s right foot was now wrapped in white bandages.
It was even splinted with wooden boards on both sides.
Song Meiqin was currently sipping her tea with a blank expression, her head lowered.
’Looks like her foot is going to be fine.’ Lu Yuan felt a little relieved. ’It would be a terrible shame for such a beautiful woman to end up with a limp.’
Meanwhile, Aunt Zhao was seated in the main chair, also sipping her tea with her head down.
’She must have yelled her throat raw.’
The moment Lu Yuan came in, Su Liyan was the first to spot her man and immediately ran over.
She threw her arms around him, her tone a mix of pouting and aggrieved pleading:
"Honey~ You lied to me~
You promised you’d tell me if you were going to Xilingzi~"
Seeing his wife’s adorable expression, Lu Yuan was absolutely smitten.
He didn’t care that so many people were still there, and just hugged his wife with a mischievous grin.
"I just didn’t want you to worry. Besides, I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?"
But Su Liyan was not letting it go, and said in a delicate, pouty voice:
"Honey, next time you go do something, you have to tell me.
I can help."
Lu Yuan agreed with a broad smile, but only he knew if he’d actually taken it to heart.
At this moment, Zhao Qiao’Er hadn’t moved from her seat at all.
She simply set down her teacup, raised an eyebrow at Lu Yuan, and said:
"You’re up?"
Aunt Zhao’s voice was a little hoarse.
Hearing her, Lu Yuan was a bit stunned.
’Good lord, has Aunt Zhao been yelling all morning? She’s yelled herself hoarse?’
’Still, that hoarse voice, paired with her gorgeous, mature face, actually sounded more magnetic... even sexier.’
Of course, Lu Yuan could tell from Aunt Zhao’s expression.
’She’s seething inside.’
Then, Zhao Qiao’Er looked down at Li Fu and the others and said coldly:
"Try to remember this lesson next time!
Now get out, and close the door behind you!"
Li Fu and the others didn’t dare say a word. They immediately got up, taking a moment to stretch their knees after kneeling for so long.
Then they hurried out of the main hall and shut the door.
’Aunt Zhao would make a great mother someday,’ Lu Yuan thought. ’She knows not to discipline her kids in front of strangers.’
And once the outsiders were gone, Aunt Zhao stood up. From her expression, it was clear she was about to erupt.
’But am I just going to stand here and take it?’
’As if!’
’Lu Yuan had plenty of experience dealing with the high-maintenance "princesses" back on Earth!’
’This is the time to strike first, to turn the tables on her!’
Immediately, Lu Yuan let go of his wife and rushed over to Aunt Zhao before she could act.
He then grabbed a completely stunned Zhao Qiao’Er and pulled her toward the room behind the main hall.
Once they were inside the room,
with a soft cry from Aunt Zhao, Lu Yuan spun her around.
He then delivered two resounding smacks to her incredibly plump rear.
At this, Aunt Zhao was completely dumbfounded.
’Wait...’
’I haven’t even gotten mad yet!’
’How did this little stubborn mule beat me to the punch?!’
’And... and he hit me...’
Before a blushing Aunt Zhao could even figure out what was happening, Lu Yuan glared at her and feigned anger:
"You woman, why do you go blabbing everything to outsiders!!"
