My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 2332

2332 Empty-Handed
Seeing that the other party did not respond, he hummed and hawed, “That, Young Master Chen, we, we can actually search more in the other hilltops. This place…”
“I told you to go! What are you spouting nonsense for!” Young Lady Rouyi glared at him in dissatisfaction. “Could everyone have dug up everything on this large hilltop?”
Her eldest brother had said that the resources here were rather plentiful.
However, her eldest brother had been alone when he ventured here for practical training. Because he couldn’t store that much in his inner world, he picked another time to bring more people over.
!!
The Eight Barren Mountains covered a large expanse. Not everyone had been to all the places in the perimeter. Some places were still unvisited even to this day.
Kuangzhan and his team dejectedly crept past Qiao Mu’s group and wandered about to search for ores.
Qiao Mu’s group paid no attention to them from beginning to end. They just sat around the campfire and ate the tender and scrumptious water deer meat.
The meat soup they stewed released a mouthwatering fragrance in the air that made Young Lady Rouyi also uncontrollably swallow her saliva.
“Xiao He.”
“Ah? Ah.” Miss Xiao He had currently mixed in at the back of the group. She was in a daze while furtively glancing at Crown Prince Mo and being envious of Qiao Mu. She hastily recollected herself and walked up when she heard her name. She curtsied respectfully toward Young Lady Rouyi. “My lady, do you have instructions for me?”
Rouyi’s chilly expression eased up when she saw Xiao He deferential gaze. “I’ll be going into the forest later to catch some wild game. You prepare to roast it.”
Xiao He was instantly on tenterhooks. She wiped her hands on her skirt uneasily.
However, Rouyi did not notice her expression. She brought people into the forest and came back before long. They had a successful hunt, catching two rabbits and a pheasant.
However, when they piled their bloody catch in front of Miss Xiao He, she looked like she was immediately about to faint.
Rouyi was livid. “Xiao He, you wouldn’t have been lying when you told me you were proficient in culinary skills, right.”
“Of, of course not, no!” Xiao He shook her head like a rattle-drum. She hastily said, “M-My culinary skills are, are very good. It, it is just that I cannot stand the sight of, of this bloody flesh.”
Rouyi was so infuriated she couldn’t speak.
A cook that couldn’t stand the sight of bloody flesh would only be stir-frying vegetables all day then?
This woman really was so nitpicky. The more Rouyi thought about it, the more she felt that it was simply a waste of time for her to rescue this useless woman.
Rouyi coldly directed two burly men to move their catch to the creek and cleanse them. Afterwards, they brought the meat back to Xiao He to cook.
Xiao He’s cooking could be said to be…
An appalling scene of devastation!
When the Kuangzhan Mercenary Group came back empty-handed, they saw Young Lady Rouyi chastising another girl loudly with a dark expression.
“You don’t know how to cook at all!” Young Lady Rouyi was outraged. She directly tossed the blackened rabbit on the spit at Xiao He.
That rabbit had been roasted scorching hot, so it naturally scalded Xiao He when it hit her body. She yelped incessantly and kept crying out, “Spare me, Young Master.”
She actually scrambled toward Young Lady Rouyi’s brother and reached out her lovely arms, just about to latch onto that young sir.
Young Lady Rouyi’s face flushed bright red.
