Bab 116: Chapter 116 Lady

"This…." Madam Xie, after all a sincerely honest person, stuttered as she told her first lie.

Fortunately, just at this crucial moment, Xuexue came back with a big bag of things.

"Wife, wife, you're back." The fool excitedly stood up, his face beaming with a radiant smile as he looked at Xuexue.

"Yes, I'm back."

Xuexue responded and stuffed a big bag of meat into the basket. When she bought the meat, she had specifically asked the Pork Seller to use oil paper to wrap the pork in several layers, to prevent those nosy villagers from seeing and then broadcasting that they had meat to eat despite their separation.

The few women on the cart were utterly dumbstruck by the fool's words.

"Madam Xie, what did he call Xuexue?" The women couldn't help but widen their eyes, disbelief written all over their faces.

"He…he…he is Xuexue's fiancé," Madam Xie said, swallowing hard and struggling to speak.
