Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Full of Foolishness

Xuexue heard footsteps and turned her head to look, only to be stunned…

The man who emerged from the rear hall was tall and striking, with a face like sculpted jade, his exquisite features as if carved by a knife. Coarse clothes clung to his body like a hanger, giving him an unexpectedly noble air.

Of course, that was before he spoke.

“Wife, wife, do I look good?” he asked with utter foolishness, and instantly, the impression he’d made moments ago completely crumbled.

“You look good.”

Xuexue was a bit dazed herself; this fool, after having washed his face, looked even more like the man she had encountered in the hollow after being affected by the aphrodisiac, except for the lack of that imposing aura.

The shopkeeper also came out, smiling and praising, “Brother, you have a great figure, you made our shop’s lowest quality clothes look like they belong to the nobility.”

“Hehe…! Wife likes it.”

With the shopkeeper hearing such a simple-minded tone, he couldn’t help but sigh internally. Such a handsome man, yet a shame about his wits, it really seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke.

“Ahem…! Shopkeeper, here is the money.”

Xuexue came back to her senses, thinking that in her past and present life, she certainly wouldn’t have been so unlucky as to force herself on a man for survival. Comforting herself with this thought, she took out twenty-five copper coins from her bosom, placed them on the counter, and turned to pull the fool out of the shop.

“Mom, we’re back.”

Xuexue led the fool back to Madam Xie’s presence.

Madam Xie, who had been anxiously waiting, heard the voice and turned around, “Xuexue, have you returned? And who is this…?” She couldn’t help but be stunned at the sight of the handsome man before her.

“Mmm, perfect! Now even mother can’t recognize you, the servers at the Great Harmony Restaurant will be even less likely to.”

Xuexue appraised the fool again, feeling satisfied.

Madam Xie’s eyes widened in astonishment, “Is this really Big Brother?”

Indeed, clothes make the man and a good saddle makes the horse; changed into clean attire, he looked like a completely different person.

“Mom, Big Brother is so pretty, just like sister,” said Chuner, who always thought her sister was the prettiest. Today she finally saw a Big Brother as pretty as her sister and couldn’t help but say so in her childish voice.

“Pfft!” Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh out loud; a grown man was being called pretty by Chuner.

“Sister, why are you laughing? Did Chuner say something wrong?” Chuner pouted, her face showing hurt.

“No, no, you’re very smart, Chuner. Big Brother is pretty,” Xuexue quickly agreed.

“Hmm!” Chuner was finally happy.

“That’s wonderful! Wife says I’m pretty,” the fool also shouted with joy.

Passersby on the road threw them curious glances. Several servers from the Great Harmony Restaurant, hearing the commotion, approached them and slapped the fool on the shoulder, “Hey! Brother, excuse me, have you seen a filthy fool around here?”

“Ah?”

Just as the fool turned his head to respond…

If he spoke, his foolish tone would give him away.

All of a sudden, the servers stood before them, and Madam Xie and the others, taken by surprise, were stunned and stared dumbly without reaction.

In her urgency, Xuexue stepped forward and covered his mouth, turning her head to reveal an expression of deep concern. In a mournful voice, she said to the servers, “Brother, my husband has a sore throat, he lost his voice and can’t speak; we are on our way to the Medical Hall to see the Doctor.”

“Oh! Are you new to town?”

“Yes!” Xuexue nodded, praying in her heart they would leave quickly.

“Seeing their appearance, they probably don’t know either. Let’s go over there and check,” one of the servers said.

“Alright!”

The servers turned and headed in a different direction, muttering as they went, “Ah, if we can’t find that fool, we’ll surely get a scolding when we get back. Chef Ding is too annoying, relying on being the Shopkeeper’s brother-in-law; he already oppresses and bullies us regularly, and today, it was his own fault for messing with someone he shouldn’t have, getting his legs broken, yet he vents his anger out on us.”
