Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 69: Do These Noblewomen Curse So Vulgarly?

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Do These Noblewomen Curse So Vulgarly?

At that moment, Song Meiqin had just come in from outside.

She had just gone to check on the furnace buried in the pit outside the house.

Song Meiqin looked all around, glancing this way and that.

She reached out a delicate hand to touch the scorching hot wall.

"It’s so warm in here..."

Although Song Meiqin was the type to never give an inch in an argument...

...if she still insisted on being stubborn after feeling this, she’d just be obnoxious.

The warmth in this room was truly beyond words.

It was so warm that after just a short while inside, she already felt like taking off her clothes.

Zhao Qiao’Er might have sounded sarcastic, but she was telling the absolute truth.

Her thick winter clothes were unbearable in this room.

"Can it really get this warm just by burning coal?

It feels like the height of summer in here now.

How did you do it?"

Song Meiqin asked, her face full of astonishment.

Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Zhao Qiao’Er, who was standing to the side, beamed and said:

"Oh? So now you want to know?

Weren’t you just complaining that our sweetheart was wasting his time?

Weren’t you just saying our sweetheart was wasting money?!"

After Zhao Qiao’Er’s back-to-back sarcastic remarks, Song Meiqin was naturally having none of it.

She immediately put her hands on her hips and huffed:

"You can stop your idle chatter!

So what if your house is a little warmer!

What’s there to be so smug about!

We’ll just go home and burn more in our Spirit Stone Furnace!!

It’s not like we can’t afford it!"

You have to admit, Song Meiqin looked strangely cute with her hands on her hips.

She had the air of a headstrong young lady of privilege.

But then again, Song Meiqin really was a young lady of privilege.

She came from a truly noble and powerful family.

Her paternal family was a renowned and powerful clan in Luxi.

Her father was the Academic Administrator for the province of Qilu, also known as the head of the Academic Platform.

The family she married into was even more formidable. Her father-in-law was the Inspector General of Qilu province, also known as the head of the Inspectorate.

Furthermore, Song Meiqin was the proper, legitimate daughter of the main wife.

Needless to say, the difference between a legitimate and an illegitimate child in ancient times was as wide as the sky.

Most importantly, their family’s power continued unbroken.

In her generation, her own younger brother was the Vice General of Qilu.

The key was that her brother was young, only twenty-eight this year. The position of General was bound to be his sooner or later.

Moreover, her brother had married the legitimate daughter of the Governor.

Her family’s power could be described as reaching the heavens.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this status that Song Meiqin never considered others’ feelings when she spoke.

She said whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted.

However, Zhao Qiao’Er didn’t indulge Song Meiqin in the slightest. Their relationship was exceptionally good.

In response to Song Meiqin’s words, Zhao Qiao’Er raised an eyebrow and said with an amused smile:

"Oh?

You can still afford to burn Spirit Stones?

I’ve heard that the current emperor detests corrupt officials. If one is caught, their entire household’s assets are seized.

How come I hear that your family doesn’t even dare to use gold-rimmed bowls for meals anymore, and has switched to Plain Bowls instead?"

Often, the more familiar people are with each other, the more a sarcastic remark can land a critical hit.

Song Meiqin was instantly choked speechless by Zhao Qiao’Er’s comment.

However, Song Meiqin was by no means someone to be trifled with.

When it came to arguing, she had never been afraid!

If she couldn’t win an argument about money, she’d just argue about something else.

Calming down, Song Meiqin sat down and started taking off her coat, huffing coldly:

"What’s wrong with a Plain Bowl?

A Plain Bowl is still the bowl of an official family!

No matter how beautiful your bowls are, even if they’re made of solid gold, they can be smashed just like that!

But who would dare to smash our family’s bowls?!"

Seeing Zhao Qiao’Er remain silent after she finished, Song Meiqin thought she had gained the upper hand and grew smug, saying:

"I’ve also heard that your family’s bowls are about to be smashed~

Why don’t you beg me!

I can help you, you know?

You have to call me something nice, though~

You have to call me Sister Qin, and only then will I help you~"

At Song Meiqin’s words, Zhao Qiao’Er couldn’t help but spit disdainfully, rolling her eyes at her.

"I really don’t understand your hobbies.

You’re clearly three years younger than me, but from the day we met, you’ve wanted me to call you ’sister’.

Stop dreaming. In this lifetime, between the two of us, I will always be your Sister Qiao’Er.

We don’t want Xilingzi anymore."

Hearing Zhao Qiao’Er’s words, Song Meiqin looked baffled.

"You don’t even want Xilingzi?

Do you have too much money or something!"

Zhao Qiao’Er, however, tilted her head up slightly, a nonchalant smile playing on her lips.

"We don’t want it. It’ll belong to the officials sooner or later anyway.

Since ancient times, the common folk don’t fight with officials. We’ll give it up!"

When it came to this serious matter, Song Meiqin stopped bickering with Zhao Qiao’Er, her expression one of exasperated disappointment.

"Are you being stupid?!

Even if it’s going to the officials eventually, that’ll be seven or eight years from now, after the north has completely stabilized.

How much money will you lose out on in those seven or eight years?!

Doesn’t your entire family depend on Spirit Stones to get by?!"

Zhao Qiao’Er, however, didn’t want to argue about this any further. Some things were hard to explain clearly, even to the closest of sisters.

Zhao Qiao’Er just blinked her beautiful eyes half-jokingly and said:

"We don’t want it.

In any case, there’s no way I’m calling you sister."

Song Meiqin pouted, grabbed the coat she had just taken off, and started walking out.

Startled, Zhao Qiao’Er immediately raised an eyebrow and said:

"Hey? Where do you think you’re going?

Walking outside without a coat, you’ll catch your death of cold!"

But Song Meiqin replied huffily:

"Catching a cold is better than staying in the same room as an idiot!"

Zhao Qiao’Er just beamed and said:

"Fine, go ahead.

But in our kitchen today, we’re stewing a certain someone’s favorite dish: golden broth with crab meat and shark fin~

Ever since a certain someone’s bowls at home turned plain, it’s probably been a while since you’ve had it, hasn’t it?

If you don’t eat it this time, you won’t get another chance~"

Song Meiqin, who had just reached the door and was about to open it, heard this and obediently came back.

This sent Zhao Qiao’Er into a fit of delicate laughter.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, standing to the side, couldn’t help but purse their lips to stifle a laugh.

Song Meiqin, her face red, glared at Zhao Qiao’Er in frustration.

"What’s so funny!"

Then she turned to Lu Yuan and Su Liyan and snapped playfully:

"You two aren’t allowed to laugh, either!"

...

After lunch, having finished the golden broth with crab meat and shark fin, Song Meiqin still left in a huff.

As she was leaving, Zhao Qiao’Er watched her retreating back and called out with a beaming smile:

"How about you call me Sister Qiao’Er, and I’ll have my sweetheart come to your house and install this Underground Heating System?

I’m older than you anyway, so it’s no loss for you!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But when Song Meiqin heard this, she called back without turning her head:

"In your dreams!

I’d rather freeze to death than have your stupid heating system!

You’d better go warm up your own ’system’! Make sure it doesn’t get full of cobwebs!"

After Song Meiqin said her piece, Zhao Qiao’Er was so angry she was about to grab a stool and chase after her.

However, it seemed Song Meiqin knew Zhao Qiao’Er was about to explode, so she quickly picked up her pace and ran.

Zhao Qiao’Er, carrying the stool, ran to the corridor and shouted furiously, though still with a hint of playfulness:

"Oh, you’re so clever, aren’t you!!

Yours is probably already full of dust!!

Why don’t you take a broom handle and go poke around in there yourself!!

You crazy bitch!!"

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan sat at the table, looking at each other in stunned silence.

’I mean...

Do all these noble ladies curse so filthily?’

’Hmm... My wife is still the best. She’s obedient and well-behaved, and she doesn’t curse at people~’

A moment later, Zhao Qiao’Er came back, still huffing and carrying the stool.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, Zhao Qiao’Er’s mature, elegant face couldn’t help but blush.

’That really wasn’t how an elder should behave...’

However, Zhao Qiao’Er quickly composed herself and, never mentioning what had just happened, looked at Lu Yuan and said softly:

"After she goes back this time, sweetheart, you should install the Underground Heating System at her house too.

That crazy woman has never handled the cold well, and now the Court forbids officials’ families from using Spirit Stones. I’m afraid she’ll freeze and something bad will happen to her.

That crazy woman... she doesn’t have it easy, you know...

She was running her mouth earlier, sweetheart, but don’t you take it to heart. She’s the only sister your auntie has."
