Rules of the Unusual: My Yandere Husband Pretends to Be Innocent Online

The chef, kneeling on the ground, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, his expression one of fear.

"Young Madam, please, please don't tell anyone about Xiao Lü. I'll give the rooster back to you, and we can make chicken soup with other ingredients, okay?!"

"From now on, I will obey your every word!"

After saying that, the chef turned around and carefully took the rooster out of the bamboo cage next to the stove, presenting it with both hands.

The rooster, which had been trembling, suddenly became proud and sat upright in the chef's hand upon seeing this.

Then it disdainfully raised its hind legs and stuck its rear end up high.

A lump of warm chicken droppings, like syrup, landed in the chef's hand.

"￥%......￥"

The chef's face, full of fat, swayed back and forth, but he still didn't dare to move.

So Xia Xiaoqin stood in front of him, looking down at him, and extended her hand.

"Very well, you can go now."

The chef left in a state of fear and trepidation, his gaze towards Xia Xiaoqin filled with utmost reverence.

Over the years, this is the only player who has managed to escape unscathed from his side.

He truly admired him.

So the chef bent over and carefully left.

Feeling the warmth of the rooster right in front of her, Xia Xiaoqin reached out and gently hugged it.

Then the girl's legs went weak instantly, and the machete in her hand trembled as it fell to the ground.

"The rooster...we survived."

Sniffing, Xia Xiaoqin hugged the rooster tightly, her body still trembling uncontrollably.

Everything she did was a risky move.

Whether it was luring Xiao Lü into the room and capturing her with Liu Ruyan, who had killed her, or the recent threat to the chef.

She was just gambling, pretending to be calm and collected, gambled with an air of nonchalance.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

Seeing that she looked very sad, the rooster hurriedly spread its wings and hugged her head, as if trying to comfort her. Its small, beady eyes flickered with panic and helplessness, just like a human's.

So Xia Xiaoqin gently stroked its head.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that this rooster was particularly intelligent.

It felt like a living person.

but.......

"Hey rooster, you smell awful! Did you poop?"

The kitchen fell silent.

The rooster lowered its head in shame, as if in response to Xia Xiaoqin's words, and covered its rear end with its wings.

But Xia Xiaoqin smiled, which was rare for her.

She hugged the rooster and groped her way to the pool, where she began to wash herself and the rooster.

But when we were washing the rooster's bottom, it suddenly turned red and started struggling violently.

"Hey rooster, what's wrong?"

The rooster shook its head in utter shame and indignation, signaling Xia Xiaoqin not to wash it, and the whole chicken became extremely agitated.

However, Xia Xiaoqin couldn't see anything and thought that although the rooster was intelligent, it was probably still afraid of water as an animal.

"Alright, calm down, it's just water, you big rooster."

Finally, the rooster, now clean and uncooked, sat listlessly in Xia Xiaoqin's arms, as if it had been toyed with.

.......

Meanwhile, in the main hall and garden of the Lu residence.

"Grandma Lu, something terrible has happened! They say from the kitchen that the eldest young mistress has come out alive!"

In the quiet main courtyard of the Lu residence, a hurried shout came from afar, coming from the corridor.

The old lady Lu, who was lying on the chaise longue, opened her eyes when she heard the maid's call, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

But she quickly waved her hand and smiled.

"So what if she's alive? Anyway, the rooster in her hand is dead. No matter how powerful she is, she won't survive past tonight."

Lying back on the chaise lounge, Old Madam Lu's pale skin gained a rosy glow under the sunlight.

She seemed to have thought of something and beckoned to her maid to call back her personal maid, Xiao Lü.

But the maidservant began to hesitate.

"Grandma, we can't find Little Green. I've asked the eldest young mistress and the cook in the kitchen, and they both said they haven't seen her..."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Lu paused for a moment, then frowned and scolded without any politeness, "Where could that girl have run off to? Call her back right now, we still need her to make tea later."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept through the entire mansion.

Throughout the mansion, the red lanterns hanging high swayed wildly, and even the bright red "囍" character pasted on the gate fluttered incessantly.

Grandma Lu looked up at the sky.

The sun, which had been shining brightly in the sky, gradually darkened, as if it were being blocked by something. The darkness that blotted out the sun swallowed up the entire world, and the sky and the earth suddenly became completely devoid of light.

"old lady!"

The maids standing nearby all looked terrified, their bodies rustling in the wind.

At this moment, the old lady of the Lu family also showed a look of horror.

"Quick! Go find the eldest young mistress and take her to the eldest young master's room! He's about to wake up! Hurry!"

A cold wind rustled by.

The once bustling main courtyard of the Lu residence fell silent again in an instant.

At that very moment, inside the kitchen, Xia Xiaoqin was carefully carrying the rooster as she walked out of the kitchen.

Actually, Xia Xiaoqin really wants to go back to Lu Yang's side right now.

She longed to see Lu Yang's condition again and to call his name.

"No, there's still Liu Ruyan. We can't let her live, or we might be in danger again."

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoqin pursed her lips.

So Xia Xiaoqin picked up the wood-chopping knife from the ground, took a deep breath, and groped her way into the woodshed.

—But as expected, Liu Ruyan had already escaped.

After all, half an hour earlier, after she and Liu Ruyan tied up Xiao Lü, Liu Ruyan, as an accomplice, hid away, leaving Xia Xiaoqin to face the cook alone, and saying that they would meet back in the woodshed after everything was over.

"Liu Ruyan, where can you run to?"

Although puzzled, where could Liu Ruyan, whose identity is that of a sheep, possibly run off to at this moment?

But the rooster in Xia Xiaoqin's hand suddenly became restless, disturbing her thoughts.

The rooster kept crowing at the sky, as if trying to tell her something.

"Hey rooster, what's wrong?"

Xia Xiaoqin couldn't see anything, but she felt that the cold wind seemed to be stronger than before.

An inexplicable fear lingered in her heart.

She couldn't hold back any longer and immediately groped along the wall, trying to get back to Lu Yang's room.

But to her surprise, the closer they got to the bridal chamber, the louder the rooster's crowing became, filled with fear. It struggled desperately in Xia Xiaoqin's arms, patting her shoulders as if telling her not to come any closer.

"Rooster, calm down, the room is safe!"

Xia Xiaoqin pushed open the door and locked the rooster inside.

At that moment, the rooster opened its beak wide, its beady eyes filled with terror and speechlessness.

It stared intently at her—Xia Xiaoqin leaned down, her hands gently reaching out to the terrifying figure on the bed.
