After Tao Yao was taken away from the thatched cottage by Rong Niang, she bumped in the carriage for a day and a night before the carriage finally stopped in front of a house.

When getting off the carriage, Tao Yao's expression was extremely ugly.

It was also thanks to her good health, otherwise, she and the child would have accidents if they were tossed about like this.

Seeing her pale face, Rong Niang was also frightened, she hurriedly supported her and said, "Yaoyao, are you alright?"

Tao Yao brushed her hand away, and said coldly, "You'd better pray that nothing happens to me, otherwise not only will your plan fail, but you will also be regarded as an enemy by Lu Jiuyuan, and he won't let you go anywhere in the world."

Rong Niang choked.

She also knew that it was not good to travel like this with a pregnant woman, but there were pursuers behind, and once she was caught up, she would lose her leverage to threaten Lu Jiuyuan.

"Xiaohu, take Mrs. Lu in first to rest." Rong Niang called her subordinates.

The subordinate named Xiaohu hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Yao and walked into the house.

Tao Yao looked around and found that it was a village, and it looked very remote, with no people there.

After entering the house, she asked Xiaohu, "What is this place?"

While packing up his things, Xiaohu replied: "Ma'am, don't ask, this village is very hidden, outsiders can't find it here, and it is almost impossible to get out of this village."

Tao Yao glanced at her, and said with a smile: "From the distance, this village is not far from the capital, and it is not difficult to find someone who is interested."

Xiaohu shook his head, "Don't bother, madam, I won't say anything."

Tao Yao paused, didn't ask any more questions, just said: "I'm hungry, cook me something to eat, I don't want to eat any more dry food."

"Okay." Xiaohu readily agreed.

Tao Yao was tired and didn't want to make any more fuss, so she lay down on the kang by the window.

When she woke up after a nap, Xiaohu had already prepared the meal and brought it in.

"Ma'am, the meal is ready, you can get up and eat."

Tao Yao nodded and sat up, but looking at the food on the table, she lost her appetite and lost her appetite.

"Ma'am, isn't it to your liking?" Xiaohuchi asked.

Tao Yao picked up the dark meat in the bowl with chopsticks and sighed, "You made this?"

"Yes." Xiaohu's voice lowered, "I'm not so good at cooking, maybe it's not so delicious..."

Tao Yao is hungry now, and she doesn't want to dislike it, but seeing the obviously burnt meat in the bowl, she can't eat it.

Even the eggplant, was burnt.

This cooking skill is beyond average, Xiaohu doesn't know how to cook at all.

After thinking about it, she simply put down her chopsticks and asked, "Are there any ingredients in the kitchen?"

"Yes." The little fox responded quickly.

"I can't eat the dishes you cook. I cook it myself. Is it okay?" Tao Yao asked.

Xiaohu was a little hesitant, because the master told her to take good care of Mrs. Lu, but now she wants to let Mrs. Lu do the cooking by herself. When the master comes back later, he might punish her...

"Rong Niang will come back later, I will explain to her, you don't have to worry." Tao Yao could see her hesitation at a glance, and frowned.

"Then, Mrs. Lu, come with me." Little Fox said.

Tao Yao followed her to the kitchen.

Seeing some beef and tomatoes in the kitchen, she immediately had an idea.

When Rongniang came back, she was also hungry, and just in time to smell the strong fragrance wafting from the yard, she called Xiaohu and said, "If there is anything to eat in the kitchen, bring it up."

The little fox looked at her, then turned around and brought the food that Tao Yao had cooked to the stone table in the yard.

Rong Niang sat down and looked at the food on the table, a little hesitant.

Is the fragrance she smelled just now coming from these dishes?Why does it look so different?

But she was really hungry, so she took a piece of meat with her chopsticks and took a bite.

However, the next moment, she spit it out, slapped the chopsticks on the table, and said angrily, "What is this?"

Xiaohu hurriedly knelt down, "Master, this subordinate is not good at cooking, but he has tried his best..."

"Trash!" Rong Niang scolded.

The little fox lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

Tao Yao, who was sitting on the kang by the window, saw this scene, paused while eating noodles, and looked at Rong Niang ironically.

Xiaohu doesn't know how to cook, but for Rong Niang who is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, how can she get used to the dishes made by Xiaohu?
"What smells so fragrant?" Rong Niang smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help asking.

Hearing this, the little fox glanced in Tao Yao's direction.

Rong Niang also saw Tao Yao, she was eating noodles with relish, she paused, and walked over, "What are you eating?"

"Tomato beef noodles." Tao Yao didn't lift her head, seeing that there was only a little soup left in the bowl, she picked up the bowl and drank the soup.

After finishing drinking, she put down the bowl and said with a satisfied face: "It's really delicious. Xiaohu, prepare some beef and tomatoes for me tomorrow."

Xiaohu looked at Rongniang's gloomy face, hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Yes."

"Take it and wash it." Tao Yao packed up the dishes and handed them out to Xiaohu through the window.

Xiaohu took it, and seeing that Rongniang had nothing else to say, she hurried to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"You know how to cook?" Rong Niang leaned against the wall and looked at Tao Yao in surprise.

Tao Yao rubbed her stomach, she was too full, and decided to take a walk in the yard.

She opened the door and came out, and saw Rong Niang was still leaning against the wall, looking at her all the time, as if she didn't get her answer and refused to give up.

"I know how to cook, isn't it strange?"

"It's just a little accident." Rong Niang said.

Tao Yao didn't speak any more. After walking around the courtyard a few times, she saw that the courtyard door was ajar, so she walked over.

Rongniang clearly saw it, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Tao Yao frowned, and opened the courtyard door.

Sure enough, there were two burly men standing outside the courtyard gate.

Seeing her coming out, the knives in the hands of the two big men slammed, raised, and crossed to block there.

Tao Yao paused, turned around and went back to the yard.

Rong Niang was sitting in front of the stone table, fiddling with the vegetables in the bowl with her chopsticks, without raising her head, she said, "Everyone in this village is mine, you can't leave."

Tao Yao was startled when she heard this, "Everyone in this village belongs to you? What do you want to do?"

"It's not something you can ask." Rong Niang said lightly.

Tao Yao sneered, "I don't have that much time to spare." After saying that, she went to the kitchen and said to the little fox, "I want to take a bath, please boil some hot water for me."

"Yes." Xiaohu agreed.

When Tao Yao went out, she said to Rongniang, "I don't have any change of clothes, please go and find them for me."

Rong Niang nodded silently.

When Rongniang brought the clean clothes, Xiaohu's hot water was ready, and he poured the hot water into the bathtub.

Tao Yao washed her hair and took a comfortable hot bath.

After tidying up, she sat down by the window, drying her hair while thinking about the usefulness of this village to Rongniang.
