Chapter 291: Starting to Suspect
After Little Lei carried the fish away, Xue Fanxin shrugged and ignored the people from the four great families. No matter how envious and angry they were or how much they coveted it, she did not care. She returned to the stone house with Gu Jinyuan and the others.
The people of the four great families followed them, but they did not return to their stone houses. Instead, they went to Xue Fanxin’s stone house and stared intently at the courtyard from the outside. Some people even crossed the courtyard gates and stood at the doorway to watch.
Soon, the entrance was filled with people. Even the Young Masters of the four great clans came to join in the fun. They really wanted to know how Xue Fanxin would deal with the fish. Would she give them some?
It was such a big fish. If she did not share some, it would be too much.
Little Lei threw the fish in the courtyard. As it was too big and there were beds everywhere in the room, adding the restriction from entering the other room, he could only throw it in the courtyard. Seeing that Xue Fanxin had returned, he went forward to urge her, “Girl, make me the roasted fish. Hurry.”
!!
The people of the four great families approached it little by little. They knew that Xue Fanxin would not be kind enough to give them the fish, but they were still unwilling to leave.
Xue Fanxin continued ignoring them. She took out all kinds of kitchenware and cut off a large piece of meat from the big fish as if there was no one else around. Then, she started to do her work.
Zhuri, Fuyun, and the others all came to help. With their previous experience, they were more familiar with the task now. They helped Xue Fanxin and listened to any of her orders. Even Little Lei did not stay idle and took the initiative to find something to do.
She had an audience this time. Pieces of incomparably perfect sashimi were placed on exquisite plates. Then, they roasted a piece of fish with charcoal and prepared various seasonings and dishes. They placed the roasted fish head and seasonings in a pot and slowly cooked them with spirit fire, placing them directly on the table. Then, they prepared another stir-fried dish…
Yi Fentian stood at the entrance and watched Xue Fanxin do her work. Her knife skills stunned him, and he felt that she was even more unfamiliar.
He had stayed in the Duke’s Estate of the Nanling Empire for a few years. Although for some reason his attention was on Li Yaoyao, he lived under the same roof as Xue Fanxin and still knew a bit about her.
From his understanding, not only was Xue Fanxin stupid, but she also knew nothing. Forget about cooking, she couldn’t even do simple sweeping. She only knew how to play or pester him every day, or she went to cause trouble for Li Yaoyao.
He was certain that Xue Fanxin would never have such culinary skills. Even if she had practiced hard later, she would not have been able to master this craft in such a short time.
The person in front of him was not the Xue Fanxin he knew at all.
But she was clearly Xue Fanxin!
The seed of suspicion was planted in Yi Fentian’s heart. Although he did not know what was going on, he felt that the Xue Fanxin in front of him was not the one he knew.
Xin’er had only started to change after she fell off the cliff, and it was said that Ye Jiushang had saved her at the foot of the cliff…
Something must have happened between these two. It was definitely not as simple as they said.
Once he got out, he had to investigate what had happened between Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang after she fell off the cliff.
