Zhao Qiao’Er was completely stunned by the two slaps.
They were both incredibly crisp.
Needless to say, the two people outside must have heard them clearly too.
For a mont, Zhao Qiao’Er clutched her plump bottom, her face flushed as she glared at Lu Yuan and stamred:
"Wh-what are you talking about? What words?!"
But Lu Yuan just stared back at Zhao Qiao’Er and said:
"Still playing dumb!
About what Liyan and I do at night!"
In that instant, Zhao Qiao’Er understood.
Zhao Qiao’Er, who had been about to give Lu Yuan a good scolding, suddenly lost all her montum.
An awkward expression crossed her face, and she began to mumble:
"Well, at the ti... one thing just led to another...
It just slipped out of my mouth...
It’s mainly because I’m so close with her. I never used to hold anything back when we talked. Whatever ca to mind, I said..."
Zhao Qiao’Er was now like a child who had done sothing wrong, and for a mont, she didn’t dare to speak loudly.
This was the ti to press his advantage.
Lu Yuan imdiately glared and said:
"Really, how could you? Can you just go around telling outsiders about this stuff?
I don’t care, but what about Liyan?"
Zhao Qiao’Er knew she was in the wrong. She bent her waist and knees slightly, lowering herself to about Lu Yuan’s height.
Then, she wrapped her arms around Lu Yuan and said in a wheedling tone:
"Yes, yes, you’re right. It was Aunt’s fault. I was wrong.
My sweetheart isn’t mad at Aunt anymore, okay? I absolutely won’t say a word next ti."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. ’First, seize the high ground, then lecture Aunt Zhao from above.’
’This strategy is working perfectly.’
Then, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:
"You want there to be a next ti?
Next ti, I’ll lick your feet too. Let’s see if you’ll still have the nerve to talk then!"
As soon as Lu Yuan said this, Zhao Qiao’Er’s beautiful, mature face flushed a visible shade of red.
Coming back to her senses, Zhao Qiao’Er spat playfully at Lu Yuan, her face crimson.
"Pah! What nonsense are you spouting, you little thing!"
Lu Yuan grinned and said:
"Anyway, this is a one-ti thing. If you do it again, you can just take off your own shoes!"
With that, Lu Yuan imdiately left the room.
After he got out, Lu Yuan let out a breath of relief.
’Done!’
anwhile, Zhao Qiao’Er remained in the inner room. She ca to and rubbed her soft, plump bottom.
’Is that little brat really treating like a mare to be whipped?’ she grumbled internally.
’It’s still stinging now.’
After a mont’s pause, just as she was about to follow him out, Zhao Qiao’Er couldn’t help but freeze.
’Huh?’
’Wait, that’s not right!’
’Weren’t I supposed to be getting mad at him?’
’How did it end up like this...?’
She blinked her beautiful eyes and, in the end, let out a soft sigh.
’What is there to say...?’
’What good would it do...?’
’All I wanted to do was warn him about the danger, tell him he’s a little brat for not listening to , things like that.’
’But does Lu Yuan not know all this?’
’How could that little thing not know the danger?’
’Of course he knows. It’s just like that ti I was in trouble.’
’That night, I tried to make him leave, but he just wouldn’t go.’
Just a mont ago, Zhao Qiao’Er’s heart had been filled with anger because Lu Yuan didn’t seem to care about his own life.
But now, all that remained was boundless tenderness.
In the end, Zhao Qiao’Er stayed by herself for a while, and only after the blush on her face slowly faded did she erge from the inner room.
At that mont, Lu Yuan had his arm around Su Liyan, whispering secrets in her ear.
anwhile, Song iqin was sitting to the side, watching Zhao Qiao’Er with a teasing smile.
Feeling Song iqin’s teasing gaze, Zhao Qiao’Er knew that the two slaps she had just received...
...Song iqin had definitely heard them loud and clear.
Instantly, the blush that had just faded from her mature, beautiful face ca rushing back, turning it bright red again.
’So embarrassing.’
’A thirty-five-year-old woman like , held down and spanked by a little kid.’
Just thinking about it for a second was enough to make Zhao Qiao’Er’s face burn.
But then again, what hadn’t Zhao Qiao’Er been through?
Although her face was still quite flushed, she acted as if nothing had happened and sat down calmly.
Then she picked up her teacup and said with a serious expression:
"Sweetheart, what do you want to eat? Aunt will have the small kitchen make it for you."
Lu Yuan, still holding Su Liyan on his lap, was about to say he had just woken up and didn’t have much of an appetite.
But then he thought about it.
’Aunt Zhao has probably been fuming since this morning.’
’She must have been too angry with to eat, and my wife and Song iqin probably haven’t eaten either.’
So he said:
"Anything will be fine."
Zhao Qiao’Er nodded. Just as she was about to say sothing, there was a soft knock on the main hall’s door, followed by a voice:
"Madam.
Vice General Song has sent soone to visit."
Zhao Qiao’Er was taken aback for a second, then imdiately stood up and said seriously:
"Please, let the Lord Soldiers in."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan released his blushing wife, and they both stood up.
Only Song iqin remained seated, sipping her tea with her head down, acting as if it were nothing important.
Of course, Song iqin’s foot was sprained, so it wasn’t convenient for her to stand.
But looking at her deanor, she probably wouldn’t have stood up even if her foot wasn’t sprained.
Soon, three Lord Soldiers walked in.
One of them carried a wooden box on his back and appeared to be a military Physician.
After entering, the three of them looked toward the tea-sipping Song iqin, bowed, and said respectfully:
"Madam."
Song iqin nodded slightly and said:
"Go sit and rest for a bit."
But the three Lord Soldiers shook their heads. The one carrying the wooden box knelt on one knee directly in front of Song iqin.
He carefully lifted Song iqin’s right leg and slowly began to unwrap the gauze.
But Song iqin just pursed her lips and said:
"No need to look. It’s all better now."
