Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 993 - 995: Tampering

Watching Xiaoxiao’s departing figure, the Big Boss had a bad feeling.

She didn’t shout or complain this time. Conditions weren’t agreed upon, yet she didn’t argue and even calmly tidied up the food on the floor, smiling as she went to cook.

Could it be that girl’s plotting something in her head?

The Big Boss pressed his lips together, chuckled a bit, and then left directly, with everyone waiting for him.

Indeed, Xiaoxiao left with a smile, but once she turned around, where was the smile on her face anymore? It was already a miracle she wasn’t crying.

She quickly walked towards the kitchen with a tray, and before arriving, she saw from a distance Yuniang standing at the kitchen door looking around.

As soon as Yuniang saw Xiaoxiao, she swiftly approached. Seeing the things in Xiaoxiao’s hands, she understood everything – Xiaoxiao had been taken down by the Big Boss. "Girl, are you alright?"

Xiaoxiao gave an awkward smile, "I’m fine. Why aren’t you eating? Your Big Boss has already gone over, the banquet must have started, right?"

"I was a bit worried, so I came to check," Yuniang said with some concern.

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s tears were on the verge of falling. Since being captured last night till now, despite how she appeared, she felt wronged and terrified.

Her nerves had been tense all this time, so even a small hint of warmth could make her break down. "Thank you, sister, I’m fine. I’m back now, aren’t I? Hurry up and go eat."

"Girl, this you..."

"Oh, it’s nothing. Your Big Boss asked me to make another serving and bring it to him."

Hearing this, Yuniang realized that this girl was being given a hard time by the Big Boss. She felt a bit sympathetic, "Girl, let me help you."

"No, no need. I’ll be quick. You go on ahead," Xiaoxiao hastily refused. She had plans, and if the people of the stockade saw her, and she wasn’t allowed to execute them, what would she do?

Yuniang took the tray from Xiaoxiao’s hands and smiled, "It’s fine. I’ll lend you a hand and make it quicker. The Big Boss must be in a hurry. If we’re slow, he might scold you again."

"..." Faced with such a warm-hearted Yuniang, Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to do. How was she going to doctor the food?

But she couldn’t refuse, so she followed Yuniang into the kitchen.

Scanning the kitchen to see what food was left, Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up when she saw the dried chili peppers in the corner. She originally thought of just making the dish salty, but now it seemed, she could spice it up too.

This meal, Xiaoxiao made with the least amount of care. For one, she doesn’t eat chili much, so hadn’t made dishes like this before. And secondly, since it was for that person to eat, what’s the point in making it taste good?

After finishing cooking, Xiaoxiao considerately picked out the fiery red chili peppers one by one, so as not to be caught. At the moment, Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled with anticipation of seeing the reaction to the spiciness.

Seeing Xiaoxiao use so many chili peppers in her cooking, Yuniang had wanted to ask earlier. Now watching her picking the peppers out, she was quite puzzled, "Girl, what are you..."

"..." Xiaoxiao was indeed a bit too ecstatic, and sure enough, Yuniang doubted her. She quickly came up with a reason, "This is my specialty dish, using chili to lift the flavor. With the spice, it’s deliciously numbing. But if there’s too much chili, it affects the taste, so it must be picked out. You should try it, it’s really tasty."
