Chapter 414 I also recognize clear soup noodles
After a deep awakening, she found that the sun outside was already a little dazzling. It seemed that it was almost noon.
After washing herself, changing her clothes, she pushed the door and walked towards Bennett's room.
There was a maid guarding outside the door, while the other disappeared. She took a photo of the other person, woke him up and said, "You go and have a rest, I'll deal with it next."
"...Madam, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fallen asleep, I..."
"It's okay, it's normal for me to be tired for a day and a night, and it's normal for me to rest. Let me leave it here." She pushed the maid away before she pushed open the door and walked in.
Bennett was still asleep in the bed, but looking at his face, it seemed much better than yesterday, at least there was no strange redness anymore. The fever should have completely subsided. Thinking of this, she gently stretched out her hand and covered the other person's forehead.
Perhaps her hand was too cold and stimulated the other party. Bennett opened his eyes immediately and reached out and grabbed her hand.
Faced with this sharp look, Zhang Xiaomo did not resist or be nervous, but comforted him with a gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, there are no enemies here, rest with peace of mind, I'm here, always here."
Listening to her words, Bennett slowly saw her face clearly, and then he relaxed his hand: "I'm sorry, I..."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
As she said this, she twisted out a towel from the basin beside her, began to clean the other person's face, and her injured arms, and continued to change the aloe vera for him.
The gentle movements and cold touch made Bennett feel energetic. He lay quietly on the bed and watched Zhang Xiaomo do these things in an orderly manner: "I am a little jealous of your patient."
If she treats patients so gentlely, then it must be not only him who will be jealous of her patients, but also the Dragon Prince.
Hearing his words, Zhang Xiaomo just smiled faintly and continued the movements in his hand. It was not until she finished doing it that she sat aside, picked up a book and read it. There was no burden for her in English. Such people are not common in China, but Bennett was not surprised. After all, the woman in front of her was Prince Long's wife, right?
Thinking of the outstanding man again, Bennett was unable to rest with peace of mind: "Madam, can you please chat with me?" Although he also knew that as a housekeeper, he made very excessive and rude requests, now, he just couldn't help but want to know the woman in front of him better.
Zhang Xiaomo looked at him with some surprise, then shook his head: "What you need now is rest, not chatting. Let's go to bed, maybe... one day, our relationship has improved, and we can have a good chat. But it is definitely not now." After that, she looked down at the book again.
The sunlight shines in through the white screen window, and the light has become very soft. Such sunlight shines on people, as if the whole person will shine. And Zhang Xiaomo, who is quietly sitting in front of the window reading, is like the most holy woman at this moment, making people unable to have any bad thoughts.
Seeing her like this, even Bennett, who was educated in modern times, had the urge to go to church to pray. Because of his work, he had long lost his faith, or rather, his faith had completely changed. It was not until today that this woman, this scene appeared, that he could re-understand the meaning of the word "holy".
In this way, he stared at Zhang Xiaomo blankly for more than half an hour. Until Zhang Xiaomo finally looked up at him: "If you don't rest, I'll go out."
This sentence made him close his eyes immediately. After a while, he quietly opened his eyes: "Madam."
"Um?"
"The methods and means we invite you over may not be very friendly, but we really have no idea of hurting you."
This is the first time I heard the other party talk about this? And it was taken the initiative. Zhang Xiaomo did not seem very excited or excited about this, but still nodded lightly, as if... what he said was not her business at all.
Her reaction made Bennett think she didn't believe what she said. When she was excited, she sat up and said, "Madam, what I said is true."
Seeing his reaction like this, Zhang Xiaomo helplessly put down the book in his hand and looked at him: "I know."
"You know?"
"If you want to hurt me, you won't let me stay here as comfortable. Although you don't know what the master behind you is going to do, I am very grateful for your care for me these days."
These words were sincere and touching, and Bennett didn't know how to answer her for a moment, so he could only nod: "Thank you, Madam."
"No, I should thank you on the contrary." Zhang Xiaomo smiled, then signaled him to lie down and rest.
Bennett, who was lying down, did not plan to rest again, and continued: "Madam, don't worry about Mr. Long. We did not let him do things that would make him embarrassed. It's just that some of the information he has collected over the past few months involves a very important plan for us. We just hope that Mr. Long will not touch certain areas for the time being."
"Um?"
"I can't explain in detail to my wife what it is. But the strength of the Long family is not only in China, but also very strong in the whole world. We have no intention of offending the Long family. Therefore, we only asked Mr. Long not to touch certain areas for the time being. In exchange for his promise, we even opened the door to convenience for him many actions and used a lot of information to exchange with him. He did not lose money in this transaction."
Although I had known that the Long family was very powerful, Zhang Xiaomo had never thought that the Long family would be so powerful that it would force these people to this point. So, in fact, this is the reason why they caught her but dared not hurt her, right?
However, even if Zhang Xiaomo understood this, he did not intend to expose it. After all, others did not hurt her, and there was no need to embarrass everyone: "So, when are you going to lock me up?"
"Our plan will take some time to adjust and evacuate. I don't know the specific time, it will take more than a month, right? During this period, if the wife has any requirements, we will try our best to meet them."
What are the requirements? Zhang Xiaomo thought about it and asked, "I only want to know one thing."
"Madam, please give me instructions."
"Who was the one who robbed me from the camp that day? Or how many people like this are there in our camp?" For her, this is the most terrifying thing, right? I thought the safest place, but I didn't expect that there would be a traitor.
If the person is not pulled out, the same thing is likely to happen again. But if something like this happens again, I'm afraid she won't be as lucky as this time.
After hearing her question, Bennett hesitated for a moment before finally saying: "Mr. Long asked the same question when he contacted us. Madam, please forgive me, I can't give you the answer to this question."
"Is that true?" Zhang Xiaomo looked at the other party, but continued to look down at her book. Since the other party didn't want to answer, she was too lazy to ask. People like this have received professional training, so with her amateur level, don't waste your energy.
Seeing her expression, Bennett thought she was angry: "Madam, there is a reason for me not to say. Since the other party has become our partner, if I betray him, I will only become a despicable person..."
"Is a person who betrays his country and his compatriots a noble character?" At this point, she closed the book heavily and stood up: "I'm sorry, our chat can't continue. You have a good rest." After that, she left the room directly.
As she left, she saw another maid pushing the dining cart: "Madam, your lunch is ready." This time, there were only simple bread, fried eggs, bacon, and a vegetable salad on the car. Looking at the scorched bread and eggs, bacon with raw meat color, and vegetable salads that were not torn at all, you don't have to think about it, and the taste was not very good. Moreover, such a meal is not suitable for the patient's recovery, right?
She sighed in her heart and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"
"ah?"
"Such food is not suitable for patients. Where is the kitchen? I'll prepare the patient's meal." As she spoke, she tied her hair up.
The maid was stunned for a moment, her face slightly embarrassed: "Madam..."
"He is a patient, and his weak stomach and intestines cannot digest these foods, which will increase the burden on his body." Zhang Xiaomo looked at her calmly: "Or, do you want him to continue to be sick like last night?"
Hearing this, the maid bent over and then turned around and took her to the kitchen. It seemed that the maid himself knew that such a meal would not make people healthy.
The kitchen is very big, and it is rare that there is a refrigerator with a lot of ingredients, meat, eggs, and vegetables. It seems that people often send supplies to them. But what she is strange about is that in such a big manor, is the only housekeeper Bennett who can cook?
You should know that the butler can be said to be the highest-ranking person in the manor except the owner. Usually, only servants cook for him, but not for him cook for him. So, how do other servants eat in the manor?
However, if you are a servant, you should not be too picky about the food. Even if it is a meal made by a maid just now, they should also eat it, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for those poor people. Then she picked some ingredients from the refrigerator and then quickly got busy in the kitchen. Not long after, a patient meal suitable for patients was made.
But she did not stop, but cooked another pasta and cooked a mushroom meat sauce. After pouring the meat sauce on the cooked pasta, she fryed another egg and buckled it on the noodles, then sat aside with the plate: "I'll eat this for lunch."
Only then did the maid realize that she despised her poor skills, so she asked to come to the kitchen. After understanding this, the maid was a little frightened: "Madam..."
"It's not your fault. My taste is already picky. I don't like eating what Bennett cooks. I'll improve my food first when he can't cook." At this point, she blinked at the maid, which made the maid even more embarrassed.
However, because of her words, the maid felt a little more at ease and pushed the dining cart to deliver food to Bennett.
Sitting alone in the empty kitchen eating, she was not staring at by three people like usual, but she ate more at ease than usual. Besides, everyone is very familiar with their own taste, and the things made in this way may not taste very authentic, but they must be what they like to eat.
Although this meal was just an ordinary pasta, it was the most comfortable meal she had eaten in this period of time.
After eating the noodles on the plate, she felt a little regretful: "What a pity. If I could eat the rice made by Axuan for me, I would accept it even if it was the noodles with clear soup."
"Is that so? I never knew that my wife was so satisfied with my cooking skills." A low and familiar voice sounded behind her.
