Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1601 - 1603: Must Leave

As soon as Yang Xiaocui stepped out, Aunt Lan Hua saw her.

In fact, Aunt Lan Hua hadn’t gone to the restroom; she had just hidden in the house, keeping an eye on what was happening over here. Seeing her daughter come out like that, she was very puzzled and hurriedly followed her out, pulling her daughter aside and whispering, "Xiaocui, why did you come out?"

Yang Xiaocui definitely couldn’t tell her mother about the silver hairpin, so she made up an excuse, "The water’s out, Yang Dong said he’s thirsty, so I came to the kitchen to get him some water."

At the mention of thirst, Aunt Lan Hua laughed, "Xiaocui, you’re silly. Him being thirsty means the drug is working. Hurry back to the room, why bother with water!"

Saying this, Aunt Lan Hua pushed her daughter back into the room and gave her a look to be smart!

Yang Xiaocui felt helpless; she felt caught between a wolf and a tiger, neither easy to deal with.

She returned to the room like that.

Sitting in the room, Yang Dong was unhurried, not at all anxious for Yang Xiaocui to return.

When he mentioned the silver hairpin, he noticed something was off about Yang Xiaocui; she seemed very afraid to mention the silver hairpin.

He then asked her to get the silver hairpin, and her terrified expression made Yang Dong certain that Yang Xiaocui no longer had the silver hairpin.

So where did the silver hairpin go?

Thinking of Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu coming down from the mountain, the two must have met secretly.

The silver hairpin in Yang Daniu’s hand was very likely the one he gave to Yang Xiaocui.

So why did Yang Xiaocui give that silver hairpin to Yang Daniu?

While pondering this question, Yang Xiaocui returned, and sure enough, she didn’t have the silver hairpin.

After returning to the room, seeing Yang Dong, Yang Xiaocui pretended to be calm and said, "I just checked, the silver hairpin is still there, I didn’t bring it over. If my mother came over and saw it, it wouldn’t be good."

"True, as long as it’s not lost!" Yang Dong said as he stood up, feeling that he had tested enough and there was no need to stay any longer, "You should quickly go to the restroom and check on your mother, see if she’s okay. I’ve finished eating, so I’ll be leaving first, help me thank your mother for her hospitality."

Seeing Yang Dong about to leave, Yang Xiaocui became anxious.

The plan hadn’t been implemented yet and he was leaving?

Why hadn’t the drug taken effect yet?

What should she do now?

Should she pounce on him?

But Yang Dong didn’t look drunk at all, if she pounced on him, he might resentfully push her away.

"Don’t go, you haven’t finished eating yet, my mother will come back later. If she sees you leaving directly, she will definitely blame me." She could only say this to keep Yang Dong, hoping to delay him a while longer, hoping the drug would take effect.

Actually, Yang Dong had already vaguely sensed that Aunt Lan Hua deliberately invited him over and then left mid-way, something was definitely fishy, especially since no one else was at home, which was even more unusual.

With only him and Yang Xiaocui in the house, Aunt Lan Hua was surely up to something, he could already guess roughly, so he needed to leave immediately.

"No, I’ll head back first, you should go check on your mother. After all, her health is important, and it’s not every day that you can’t eat." Saying this, Yang Dong left.

Yang Xiaocui almost cried from anxiety, wanting to rush forward and stop him, but Yang Dong’s pace was so quick that before she could get to him, he had already exited to the courtyard.
