Chapter 52.2: Move Aside, Bad Green Plum

It was rare for Song Liangzhuo to not have to go with Song Qingyun to the government office. Because he slept peacefully with Xiaoqi nestled in his arms, when he woke up he didn't get out of bed.

From outside came the sound of Qiu Tong's soft steps again, then a quiet voice came through.

"Madam said there's no need for Young Master to get up early and pay respects. Later, once Young Madam wakes up, she'll have the doctor come and take another look."

Song Liangzhuo lowered his head to look at Xiaoqi's swollen puffy eyes, then gently hooked her slightly cold leg into his legs to warm it.

When Xiaoqi woke up it was already around ten in the morning. Song Liangzhuo was half leaning against the head of the bed reading while Xiaoqi's entire body was on top of him.

Xiaoqi stared blankly for a while, then hit Song Liangzhuo with her fist, "You're so bony that my entire body hurts. Husband, in the future you should eat more sweetsT/N."

Song Liangzhuo put down the book and laid down again. Wrapping his arm around Xiaoqi's waist he kneaded it and said: "Is it a bit better?"

"Heehee, mind refreshed and heart feels clear."

Song Liangzhuo looked at her swollen eye puffs and the corners of his lips twitched.

Even though the speed was really slow, Song Liangzhuo still felt the heat of a certain area near Xiaoqi slowly spreading. Song Liangzhuo knitted his brows and felt it for a while before patting Xiaoqi, "Let's get up. Sleeping again will cause laziness*."

I'm not familiar with this term but from the parts of it, it looks like it's referring to the muddle-headed feeling people get after sleeping too much? But when I searched it up, several search results said it refers to the certain thingimijiggie getting aroused.

Xiaoqi twisted in Song Liangzhuo's embrace for a while before smiling as she said: "Husband get up first."

Song Liangzhuo lightly pecked Xiaoqi's forehead. Lifting her up, he laid her down properly before lifting the blanket and getting out. His gaze focused on a circle of bright red at a certain area and he became a bit .

Naturally, Xiaoqi also saw it too and cried in shock, "Husband, that really came for you? How magical! My mom said that it wouldn't come for men."

Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk~~~~ Song Liangzhuo felt like a flash of lightning pelted down, thundering him to the point his scalp felt numb.

Song Liangzhuo covered the embarrassment below and lowered his voice, "YourThat, shouldn't you change it?"

Xiaoqi lifted open the blanket to take a look. She went extremely , then stuck out her tongue, "Heehee, I thought it was Husband's blood."

Song Liangzhuo was speechless.

The 'bleeded' area was a bit sensitive so it wasn't convenient for Qiu Tong to come in and assist. He changed into another inner garment before calling Qiu Tong to come in and help Xiaoqi deal with it. Song Liangzhuo didn't know how the monthly period went for most girls but he felt that Xiaoqi's really came quite a lot. He didn't know if it had anything to do with the medicine she drank yesterday.

Song Liangzhuo then thought, based on Xiaoqi's messy sleeping posture, shouldn't he have Xiaoqi wear something a little bigger in order to stop it from dripping through the front and back? It seems like that way he would be safer.

The moment this thought flashed through Song Liangzhuo's head, he was immediately alarmed by this thought so much his hand even trembled. His line of thought seems to be becoming more and more abnormal. How did he end up thinking about how to prevent side leaks?E/N2 Song Liangzhuo felt like he was getting further and further off the path of a noble gentleman!

The two drank a little bit of porridge in the room. This time, Xiaoqi obediently drank the medicine, and also obediently vomited it all out.

Xiaoqi vomitted to the point her tears flooded out. Song Liangzhuo irritatedly threw the medicine bowl away and said: "Don't drink it anymore in the future."

Xiaoqi didn't care about the uncomfortableness anymore and happily gave him a big kiss, wiping all the porridge and medicine juice on the side of her mouth onto Song Liangzhuo's faceT/N2.

Song Liangzhuo didn't seem to disdain it either. Lifting up the Xiaoqi that had already stopped vomiting, he said: "Switch to medicinal pills."

Xiaoqi's brows that had just unfolded fiercely linked up together again.

By the time the two finished tidying up and were ready to head to the dining hall, it was already noon.

Because of Xiaoqi's half broken toe, Song Liangzhuo just hung his shoewhich was a size biggeron her right foot. She was also excused from walking and Song Liangzhuo carried her to the dining hall.

Xiaoqi was completely satisfied with this sprained toe of hers. It was hard to come by that her family's Husband didn't care about what outsiders thought and carried her the entire way there. Even though Xiaoqi felt a bit embarrassed, her heart was filled with delight and happiness from being this blessed.

When they got outside the dining hall, Song Liangzhuo thought about it a little and was about to put Xiaoqi down when Mother Song suddenly raised her voice and said: "Just come in directly. We're all family, what are you worried about? Your dad won't be coming back this afternoon."

Song Liangzhuo was also just worried that carrying Xiaoqi in would cause Mother Song to feel that she had no manner. But since Mother Song spoke, he didn't act courteously anymore and directly went inside.

Mother Song waited until the two sat down properly before warmly saying: "You tossed and turned again tonight? The doctor already arrived. After you eat have him take another look."

Xiaoqi had already glimpsed Zixiao who was sitting at the opposite corner. Pouting, she lowered her head and said: "Thank you, Mom."

Xiaoqi shot a glance at Song Liangzhuo who was at her side and saw that he had his eyes lowered and didn't meet Zixiao's gaze. But her heart still felt faintly uncomfortable.

Bad green plum!

Xiaoqi wrinkled her nose and narrowed her eyes. In her brain a large green plum the size of Zixiao's face surfaced. Xiaoqi sucked in her drool and knitted her brows as she shucked the green plum and got rid of the pit. Then using cloth to cover the green plum's eyes, she swung a blade and chopped the green plum into fruit pieces, then spread it under the sun to dry into meat jerky and also threw some into the honey pot to become preserved honey pieces.

Sss~~~~ Xiaoqi sucked in her saliva again.

That's not right, they should be thrown into the pig pen to sulk. Sulk until it becomes muck. But it's such a waste ah!

"And the fitting master has already arrived. After dinner you'll have your measurements taken. Xiaoqi can tell the master in detail what kind of design you like."

Mother Song looked at the Xiaoqi whose eyes were staring vacantly straight at Zixiao. Her two hands were turning her and twisting there, from time to time she even made a hand blade motion and speedily chopped with 'shwa shwa shwa's, and even occasionally had to suck back her drool. Mother Song slightly knitted her brows and said: "What is this? You had a nightmare? Xiaoqi? Xiaoqi?"

Song Liangzhuo's forehead twitched and a hand wound around Xiaoqi's back and gave Xiaoqi's lower waist a hard press. Xiaoqi's waist was sore so she trembled for a moment before turning her head to the side to look at Song Liangzhuo.

"Mom's asking you something." Song Liangzhuo sighed in his heart. This wife really is a little too dazed. The moment she thought of something her entire soul would exit her body. Sure enough she was foolish to the point that one mind could not dual task huh?

Xiaoqi disorientatedly turned towards Mother Song with one hand still slightly raised and about to chop down, "Whatever Mom says is good."

Mother Song's lips twitched severely. Her eyes forcefully shifted as she said: "Then good. Later Mom will teach you embroidery. Right now, drink the medicine first."

Mother Song watched with satisfaction as Xiaoqi immediately scrunched up her face but Song Liangzhuo interjected: "Mom, she really can't drink medicinal soup. Later, let's have the doctor manufacture them into honey pills."

This time, Mother Song bluntly twitched the corners of her lips. She just wanted to scare Xiaoqi a little, but this son's reaction sure is fast! It's also good; that way the person opposite can also see that in her son's eyes this Lin Zixiaowho failed to become a phoenix through riding on a dragon and turned back to eat from an old pastureis no longer of any importance.

The three, with the exception of Xiaoqi, didn't seem to notice Zixiao at all. But everyone knew that Zixiao's pair of eyes were locked on Song Liangzhuo the entire time.

Song Liangzhuo didn't know why Zixiao would appear at his family's dining table but he didn't really desire to find out either. However, in the end he couldn't endure the fervent gaze that was constantly shot towards him and lifted his head, planning to say a word of hello. But unexpectedly the moment he looked over, Zixiao instantly let trickle two trails of hot tears. Her brows carried miserable woe as she trembly called, "Second Brother."

T/N2 Song Liangzhuo's definitely a good husband. Just imagining that is gross for me, yet he doesn't mind it at all from Xiaoqi. That takes true love and extra.

For the last line, I really wanted to write 'Zixiao instantly unleashed two river floods of tears (-----__-----)' Lol, so truly tempted

C: It's a shame but its too early for April Fools~~
