Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

Chapter 391: Chapter 218: Oh? Sweetheart, Did You Come to the Right Door? (Part 2)

Supported by someone, Zhao Qiao’Er limped along, complaining, "My dear, you were so rough. So careless, just forcing your way in, not caring if it was right or not."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Aunt Zhao, I’m a good boy, you know. I’m never careless, haha..."

Zhao Qiao’Er said helplessly, "Nephew, you’re just taking advantage of my affection for you, aren’t you?"

Lu Yuan coaxed her, "I know Aunt Zhao treats me the best. I’ll be gentler next time!"

"Next time? Gentler?" Zhao Qiao’Er couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, thinking, ’As if there’ll be a next time like that!’

Lu Yuan helped Zhao Qiao’Er push open the door to the room.

Seeing Zhao Qiao’Er’s messy hair and somewhat pale face, everyone began to voice their concern.

"Aunt Zhao, what happened?"

"You don’t look so good. You were fine during dinner just now!"

"Did your period suddenly decide to visit?"

The group chattered amongst themselves.

The ever-thoughtful Song Meiqin, her small belly showing, stepped forward to support Zhao Qiao’Er.

Song Meiqin looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Weren’t they just here at the mansion to find someone? How could they dare to get physical? Who was so bold as to put one of us in this state?"

Though Song Meiqin’s words were unintentional, they struck a different chord with Zhao Qiao’Er.

Zhao Qiao’Er turned her head, shot her a resentful glare, and squeezed out a few words, "Sis, don’t ask. Just help me sit down."

Xiaoqian quickly pulled away, placing a chair in front of them as the others made space.

The few steps it took to reach the chair felt like a dozen to Zhao Qiao’Er.

With Lu Yuan and Song Meiqin’s help, Zhao Qiao’Er slowly sat down, only to feel a wave of intense soreness shoot from below all the way to the top of her head.

’Such a long ’work’ session and such a short break... there was no way I could recover.’

Zhao Qiao’Er didn’t dare make any overly dramatic expressions or movements for fear of being found out, so she could only force herself to remain calm.

"Hurry up and tell us, nephew. What on earth happened?" Song Meiqin asked with concern.

Lu Yuan lowered his head slightly, his eyes shifting as he touched the tip of his nose. "Uh, Aunt Zhao got too excited just now. It was dark, and she accidentally slipped and fell coming down the steps."

Zhao Qiao’Er caught on immediately. "That’s right! I fell on my rear. Nearly shattered it into a million pieces."

Hearing this, the group once again showered her with concern and well-wishes.

Lu Yuan secretly chuckled. He had managed to gloss over the matter just like that.

Song Meiqin asked again, "Who were they here at the mansion to find?"

Su Liyan knew what was going on, so she didn’t ask any further.

Zhao Qiao’Er held her sore backside and said, "They came for my nephew. Said he had to leave for the Imperial Capital immediately. Luckily, my nephew sent them packing. He can stay at the mansion for a while before going."

"Oh, I see. Nephew, just don’t let it delay any important business," Song Meiqin added.

"I won’t, Aunt Song," Lu Yuan replied.

That day, everyone gathered in one room, chatting and having a wonderful time.

Later, relying on his superb medical skills, Lu Yuan even checked everyone’s pulse. They all had great faith in his medical abilities.

Pinching Xiaoqian’s slender wrist, Lu Yuan said, "Your pulse is strong and steady. You’re in excellent health, perfect for bearing a child!"

When Lu Yuan took his mother-in-law’s wrist, he could see her hands were a bit rough, a result of years of farm work.

Lu Yuan said, "Mom, your body is also quite good, but you developed some chronic issues from your postpartum confinement when you were younger. They say illnesses from childbirth have to be treated during the next postpartum confinement."

Su Liyan chimed in, "How can that be treated? Mom can’t go through postpartum confinement again!"

Lu Yuan reassured her, "Honey, don’t worry. I have a way."

Having acquired the skill of Alchemy, Lu Yuan had learned a great deal and had refined a number of Elixirs.

Although their quality varied, they were still hundreds or even thousands of times more effective than the herbs one could get from an apothecary.

Lu Yuan took out three Human Level Middle Grade Elixirs, placed them in his mother-in-law’s palm, and said, "Take one of these three Elixirs on an empty stomach each morning for three consecutive days. I guarantee it’ll bring a second spring to your life."

Hearing this, Su Liyan’s mother quickly pulled her hand back, covering it with her sleeve. She lowered her head and whispered, "What second spring? For a mother, seeing her children happy and healthy is the greatest satisfaction."

Lu Yuan had meant she would be rejuvenated with vitality and life, but Su Liyan’s mother might have misinterpreted his meaning.

Zhao Qiao’Er had been sitting some distance away. She wanted to get up but couldn’t, so she tugged at her sleeve, extended her right arm, and said, "What about me? Check me."

Song Meiqin was about to help Zhao Qiao’Er over.

Lu Yuan said, "Aunt Zhao, I already examined your body earlier. I’ll give you two Beauty Pills in a bit. They control oil, detoxify, and enhance beauty. Your body is perfectly fine."

"See? That’s my little darling for you. He knows I love my looks the most!" Zhao Qiao’Er said gleefully, smoothing the loose strands of hair on her cheeks and striking a pose.

Seeing this, Song Meiqin snorted, "What a flirt! Nephew, I want some too~"

Lu Yuan readily agreed, "Of course, of course. All you beautiful ladies will get your share. Just take one pill before bed for two consecutive nights."

Lu Yuan then took another ten Human Level Middle Grade Elixirs from his robes and gave two to each person.

As Su Liyan’s mother accepted her two Beauty Pills, she thought, ’Even a past-her-prime woman like me gets some? My son-in-law is truly good to me!’

In addition to those, Lu Yuan also distributed the last five Human Level Middle Grade Elixirs he had left.

After he finished, Lu Yuan said, "This is all I have on me for now. When I refine more later, I’ll share them with everyone. Whether it’s Beauty Pills or Lifespan Extension Pills, once I gather more medicinal herbs and get more practice, I’ll have you all eating them like candy!"

"Daddy! I want some too!" Bengbeng, who had been ignored, tugged on Lu Yuan’s pant leg and looked up.

Lu Yuan picked Bengbeng up from the ground, tossed him into the air, and said, "Alright! I’ll get some for Bengbeng too."

Bengbeng flailed his little hands and said, "I want this, this many!"

Lu Yuan pressed his chin against Bengbeng’s little cheek and said, "You got it!"

"Daddy, Daddy, your stubble is poky!"

...

Lu Yuan and the others chatted away happily.

Meanwhile, the forgotten Xiaotian had been lying in the trunk of Lu Yuan’s car for an entire day without a drop of water, and he was busy cursing up a storm.

That afternoon, Lu Yuan had arranged for his confidants to move the silver taels from the trunk into the mansion’s treasury.

The confidants knew that the trunk of Lu Yuan’s vehicle held no silver taels, so they didn’t touch Lu Yuan’s vehicle.

The moment Lu Yuan and Su Liyan got out of the car, they were surrounded by family, and in their excitement, they had completely forgotten Xiaotian in the trunk.

’Hehe, where did Big Bro go? This car thing has been parked here without moving for several hours. And he didn’t even come give me some roasted meat!’

The more Xiaotian thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided to get out himself and see what was going on.

Bracing himself against the bottom of the trunk, Xiaotian used his two hind legs to kick hard against the trunk door.

Each time he got a glimpse of the outside, the door would automatically close as soon as he relaxed his effort to get up.

After several failed attempts, Xiaotian had no choice but to try another method.

He pressed his head against the trunk lid, forcing open a small gap.

The process of climbing out was excruciating, as his neck got stuck.

Fortunately, through relentless effort, he finally managed to tumble out of the trunk, taking a fall as he landed on the ground.

Xiaotian got up and looked around. Seeing the luxurious mansion not far away, he figured it must be the Zhao Mansion that his big bro had mentioned.

A GROWL rumbled from Xiaotian’s stomach.

’I’m hungry, and Big Bro doesn’t care about me anymore. I’ll go find something to eat myself!’ Xiaotian grumbled to himself resentfully.

"Big Bro brought me home but then abandoned me. So heartless. He promised to treat me well. Where’s the roasted meat he promised me?"

As Xiaotian complained outside the Zhao Mansion, he seemed to catch the scent of food.

Xiaotian sniffed the air, which carried the fragrant aroma of a meal. It was undoubtedly coming from inside the Zhao Mansion.

Xiaotian approached the Mansion Gate. It was wide open, but there were Mansion Guards standing watch.

This was no challenge for Xiaotian, who was a master of Invisibility. With a sharp howl, he vanished from sight.

The Mansion Guards heard the cry from the darkness far away but didn’t know if it was a dog or a cat and paid it no mind.

Xiaotian stood up and glanced at his lower body, muttering, "Hmm, not bad. With my Talent Skill, Invisibility, no one can see me."

Xiaotian glanced at the Mansion Guards and thought, ’I’m going in!’
