Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 966 - 968: Can Bandits Really Bring Their Families Along?

This remark caused the woman in front to panic a bit, and she quickly explained, "Miss, the food is very clean, there’s definitely no poison. Don’t worry."

"Really?" Xiaoxiao’s little eyes seemed piercing enough to stare right through someone.

"Really, really." The woman repeatedly assured her.

Seeing the woman’s behavior, she didn’t seem like she was lying. But it was a critical time now, and any mistake was unacceptable, so Xiaoxiao picked up a piece and held it to the woman’s mouth, "Then you eat a bite first."

"..." The woman froze for a moment.

Xiaoxiao continued, "If you don’t eat, how can I know you haven’t poisoned it?"

"Okay, I’ll eat." The woman took a bite of the food Xiaoxiao offered, all the while contemplating internally, thinking: why is the Big Boss’s chosen woman so formidable, with such meticulous thoughts?

Sure enough, what happened next further confirmed her suspicions.

After the woman took a bite, Xiaoxiao still didn’t feel completely at ease. She proceeded to pick a bit of every dish on the table and fed them to the woman.

After the woman finished eating, she finally said, "Miss, I’ve tasted everything, there really isn’t any poison, so you can rest assured to eat now?"

Though Xiaoxiao was very hungry, she still didn’t touch her chopsticks. She had to wait; what if the poison took effect a little later? Then she’d be doomed.

"No rush, I’ll eat later, let’s have a chat first."

The woman sat there in a daze, not daring to move, unsure what the Big Boss’s woman wanted to discuss.

Xiaoxiao hadn’t forgotten her initial purpose. It wasn’t easy to get someone here; she wanted to probe and gather information. Luckily, this woman seemed quite honest, maybe too honest, considering she’s among bandits—it seemed kind of damaging to the bandits’ reputation.

"Are you the lady of the stockade?"

The woman quickly shook her head.

"Then were you also brought up the mountain?"

The woman shook her head again.

Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows. Then who is she? Could she be the kitchen maid in the stockade?

"Then who are you? Why are you here?"

The woman finally spoke, "My husband is a bandit here, so I followed him."

"..." Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. Could it be like this? Even bandits could bring along their family? And judging by her expression, the woman didn’t seem to mind her husband being a bandit at all.

Xiaoxiao was full of curiosity about what the woman in front of her actually thought, but she didn’t have the time to ask specifics; she had more important questions to ask, so she suppressed her curiosity.

"Big sister, other than me, is there anyone else who was captured and brought up the mountain today?" Xiaoxiao finally asked the main question, which was her most pressing concern.

However, the woman didn’t respond to such a question, not even a nod or shake.

Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, it seemed this person wasn’t dumb, knowing what should and shouldn’t be said.

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, wondering how exactly she could get the woman in front of her to talk.

Moments later, Xiaoxiao’s lips slightly curled up, she seemed to have devised some sort of crafty plan.

"Big sister, are there other ladies of the stockade here? You know, I was brought here to be the lady, but if there are others, I absolutely can’t do it. I don’t want to share a husband with anyone."

Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head quickly, "No, no, you can be assured, our Big Boss doesn’t have other wives."
