Chapter 568: He Desires to Sleep in this Bed
Tong Sanlang was preparing the medicinal concoction for the Zhang family while having his meal. On the other side, Qiao Xiaomai quickly finished her food and took out the Longevity Locks she had prepared for Tong Xiaoxing and Tong Xiaoyue.
She had bought these in town. Considering gold to be too extravagant, she had settled for a big pair of silver ones each weighing ten taels. Here, one tael is roughly the equivalent of thirty grams in the future, hence ten taels is three hundred grams, making one Longevity Lock weigh over half a pound.

As she took out the pair of Longevity Locks, Li Rou finally exhibited a faint smile on her face.
A pair of these weighed twenty taels — in comparison to Qiao Xiaomai’s fortune, this was hardly a blip.
Zhu Hongyun, standing on the side, watched in envy.
She and Tong Erlang did not have any private money. Li Rou had just made a gain of twenty taels — having children was indeed wonderful. Though lamentably, she too had been married for almost four years and was still not showing any signs of being pregnant.
No, she must put in more effort tonight and strive to have a child soon!
Soon, Tong Sanlang had finished making the medicine for the Zhang family. It was just ordinary body-strengthening medicine and harmless to drink. After that, he cleaned the pots and pans, and finally started boiling water.
Qiao Xiaomai loved cleanliness and needed to bathe.
In the past, she used to bathe in the small river, but now…
Hmm, she could take a romantic couple’s bath.
Qiao Xiaomai lit the candles and started decorating her and Tong Sanlang’s new room. She didn’t touch Tong Sanlang’s desk. Instead, she used the two cabinets she had brought as tables and placed her rouge, powder, mirror, and comb on them.
After thinking for a while, she decided to replace the sheets and quilt covers on the bed.
Those four families with children had come over today. After Yang Ye had left, she took the opportunity to roll a few times on the bed, but as a clean freak, she decided to replace them with her own sheets and covers.
Quilt covers were not popular here. It took Xiaomai’s prompting for Tong Sanlang to have Zhang Family sew two.
After replacing them with the warm yellow silk sheets and quilt cover she had brought, the whole room seemed to be covered in a soft glow under the candlelight.
This included Qiao Xiaomai herself.
After Tong Sanlang had boiled the hot water and entered the room, he found Qiao Xiaomai turning to look at him just then. Her face, under the candlelight, was so beautiful it took his breath away.
Qiao Xiaomai, oblivious to his reaction, asked, “Is the hot water ready?”
Tong Sanlang quickly composed himself and nodded, “I’ll pour it into the bathtub for you.”
“Okay, look at the bed. Doesn’t it seem cozy? Don’t you want to sleep in it?” Qiao Xiaomai asked, smiling smugly.
Tong Sanlang’s gaze landed on the bed. The light yellow hue was indeed warm, and the two pillows side by side exuded an indescribable intimacy. He pursed his lips, “I want to sleep.”
“Then hurry up and pour the hot water,” Qiao Xiaomai urged, smiling.
She too, was eager to roll around on it and sleep with Tong Sanlang!
Tong Sanlang looked at her glowing eyes, tightened his lips, and turned to leave the room.
He had incredible physical strength. He scooped the hot water into the bathtub, added cold water, and then carried the bathtub into the kitchen.
Qiao Xiaomai walked to the doorway and saw that all the other rooms were pitch-black, she then turned to ask, “Has everyone gone to bed?”
“Yeah.” Tong Sanlang replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai closed the room’s door, then turned to look at Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang looked at her, a smile appearing in his dark eyes and then spreading over his handsome face.
He opened his arms wide.
Qiao Xiaomai, her smile radiant, quickly ran into his arms.
Snuggling against his lean waist, Qiao Xiaomai wriggled happily in his embrace, “We are finally wed!”
Holding her tightly, Tong Sanlang’s voice was tinged with excitement, “Yes, we are wed now.”
