O: XQ was a busy girl. I think this needs an R rating.

E/N- Can’t describe how hard I’m laughing right now! She gets it from her mother…LMBO..

Chapter 47.2: Aiyo, Mean Mother-in-Law

Song Liangzhuo's room was much better, probably because they had been prepared for him to return for a long time. The room was comfortably warm and very cosy.

Xiaoqi got mad and started huffing and puffing. Seizing Song Liangzhuo's neck she fiercely said: ”On purpose, it was totally on purpose. The grand Prefectural Magistrate da ren, fourth rank high official na, yet at home still mistreats the daughter-in-law!”

The maid who had returned carrying the food tray, upon seeing this, her eyes bulged out. She stared and blinked twice before recollecting her expression and starting to set the dishes out onto the table.

”You may withdraw, come collect them tomorrow.”

Song Liangzhuo glanced at the food on the table and realized that the maid misunderstood what he meant. Not only did she prepare some stir-fry and soup, she even prepared a pot of hot wine.

Song Liangzhuo carried Xiaoqi and changed directions, ”Are you hungry? Let's eat first!”

Xiaoqi was still sobbing a little. Speaking with a nasally voice, she said: ”I'm not sleeping over there, there's ghosts there.”

Song Liangzhuo gently smiled, ”Even if there's no ghost I wouldn't let you go over there. Just stay here. In the future always stay here.”

Xiaoqi glanced at Song Liangzhuo with her wide eyes. Unwillingly she gave him a kiss, unwillingly she mumbled a sentence, ”Husband's the best.”

Mrs. Mei said so before, whenever there's a chance she must praise the husband. Only this way would she be able to make the other person feel that he has a place in her heart. Although Xiaoqi was still angry, she still stuck in a needle upon seeing a gap(make use of opportunity). Xiaoqi also felt that it was pretty effective. Even though she forced herself to say it with great difficulty, Song Liangzhuo's expression still became several degrees warmer and gentler.

Song Liangzhuo wanted to let Xiaoqi sit to the side, but Xiaoqi shook her head and wrapped her arms around his neck. Song Liangzhuo didn't try to persuade her anymore. Reaching forward, he ladled a bowl of soup, handed it to Xiaoqi and watched her drink all of it before asking: ”What do you want to eat? Pick whatever you like.”

Xiaoqi looked at the food on the table. Perhaps it was because she was hungry to the point that she felt weak, but she didn't show much desire to pick up the chopsticks. Song Liangzhuo picked some light dishes and placed them in her bowl before handing the chopsticks over and pouring himself a cup of wine to slowly drink.

Xiaoqi ate a mouth of Chinese cabbage, but her eyes followed Song Liangzhuo's hand back and forth.

”What kind of wine?”

”Yellow wine.”

Xiaoqi blinked her eyes and moved closer to take a look, ”So pretty, let me taste.”

Song Liangzhuo's first reaction was to check and see if the door of the room was closed securely, while the arm wrapped around Xiaoqi's waist also tightened subconsciously.

Xiaoqi didn't get a reply from him so she peeled off his fingers and drank half the cup, then said in surprise: ”It's hot? So fragrant!” Then she stuck out her tongue and picked up another chopstick-full of vegetables.

'Alcohol shows on the face', Xiaoqi was the model of this. Just with this half a cup her cheeks were already thoroughly red.

Xiaoqi strung through a lotus root* then carefully pa.s.sed it to Song Liangzhuo with her other hand cupped underneath it. Song Liangzhuo hooked the corner of his lips as he ate it, then smiled and said: ”You should eat yourself, don't worry about me.”

From my experience it's pretty hard to pick up lotus root with chopsticks so we often just loop the chopsticks through the holes and pinch it that way.

Xiaoqi's little hand gestured as she said: ”One piece of lotus root for one cup of wine, I'm doing a trade.”

Song Liangzhuo held back his smile, ”But I never agreed.”

Xiaoqi's eyes shot a glare and poured a mouthful from the wine pot herself.

”Official Song doesn't keep his word, after eating someone else's thing he still refuses to admit it.”

Song Liangzhuo reached over to take the wine pot and Xiaoqi frantically hugged it tightly. Shrinking her body away she said: ”No no. You hold the wine cup, I'll pour for you.”

Song Liangzhuo tightened his arm again. Only after he felt that Xiaoqi would not be able to run away did he pa.s.s the wine cup over. Xiaoqi steadily poured a cup and closed one eye as she stared at the mouth of the wine pot a while, then poured another mouthful for herself.

Yellow wine was not very intense. Xiaoqi's entire body became warm and cosy as she drank. It was so comfortable that she couldn't help but pour another two mouthfuls. Song Liangzhuo, on the other hand, placed down his cup and switched to wrapping both his arms around Xiaoqi's waist.

He was waiting for Xiaoqi to start acting crazy from the alcohol. The moment she showed any indication of wanting to run out he'll carry her to the bed first and pin her down.

But Xiaoqi was actually unusually quiet. Throwing aside the wine pot she picked up the chopsticks again. The two chopsticks staggered for quite a long time. Xiaoqi picked at the gap between the plate and the dish for quite a while, but still couldn't pick up anything. Xiaoqi angrily threw the chopsticks again and directly went to grab it with her hands but Song Liangzhuo's quick hands grabbed hers first.

”I want to eat lotus root!” Xiaoqi angrily yelled straight out.
