"Useless! What on earth happened at the clothing store?"

Feng Ji immediately spoke up: "It was a waiter who signed a contract to sell himself into servitude. He became addicted to gambling and, in order to earn more money, secretly sold our new product to our competitors."

He thought that since he had signed a contract of servitude, the shopkeeper wouldn't suspect him, which is why he was so bold.

In the eyes of others, once you've read the indenture, your fate is in the hands of your master, so you absolutely cannot make a mistake.

However, in the eyes of a bad person, he will definitely stop at nothing. Therefore, a bad person will think that since the other party has such a big handle on him, the other party will never believe that he did it.

And he wasn't wrong to think that way, because the other party was originally a servant of the Feng family, and the shopkeeper never suspected him.

However, Feng Ji's people do not exclude others based on their identity, so everything is under Feng Ji's control. Unless he doesn't want to know, if he does want to know, the other party will definitely be found.

You don't even need to spend much time following a story; just ask your own people.

He originally intended to execute the person privately, but how would he explain it if his wife investigated later? So he simply had his men bring the person to his wife's presence.

"How is the other side now?"

Zhuiying immediately replied, "The shopkeeper has already dealt with him."

In this era, slaves had no freedom; their lives were entirely at the mercy of their masters. If they committed a serious offense, they would be severely punished, otherwise other slaves would certainly rebel. Therefore, the punishment for committing a serious offense was almost always death, which was the most severe punishment.

Feng Ji replied with "I understand" and said no more.

They quickly ate a few bites of the food that was served and then asked them to take it away.

…

When Wan Ge returned after dinner, she saw them taking away dishes that had barely been touched.

"Haven't you eaten, young master?"

After bowing to her, the servant replied, "Young Madam, the young master only ate a few bites and still doesn't seem to have much of an appetite."

The maidservant beside Wan Ge spoke up: "I see that the young master has eaten quite a few of the pastries made by the young lady. If the young lady is worried that the young master is hungry, she may make some more for him."

Wan Ge nodded, agreeing with the maid's words: "Alright, then I'll go to the kitchen and make some more for my husband."

…

Feng Ji waited for a long time but no one came, so he immediately called out to his servant: "Where is the young mistress now?"

The servant immediately replied, "When the young mistress saw that the young master hadn't eaten much, she went to make some pastries for him to prevent him from getting hungry."

Feng Ji felt much better after hearing this, and then waved for them to leave.

His wife is so good to him, how can he love her even more? It seems like he loves her more every day, and his infatuation with her is becoming uncontrollable.

Therefore, it is best for the wife not to leave him, and it is best not to bring up divorce again.

…

After Wan Ge finished making the pastries, she asked her maid to deliver them first. She also felt unwell, so she decided to take a bath first. After bathing, she would go to Feng Ji's courtyard and ask her maid to inform him.

After hearing what the maid said, Feng Ji obediently lay down on the bed, waiting for Wan Ge to come over.

He waited another quarter of an hour before Wan Ge walked in from outside. She was wearing a plain-colored long dress and appeared before him like a fairy.

Feng Ji was completely mesmerized, his mind filled with thoughts of how incredibly beautiful the lady was. He was captivated by her beauty with just one more glance.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Wan Ge noticed that the other person was staring at her, and subconsciously touched her face.

Upon hearing her question, Feng Ji immediately looked away and replied, "No, it's just that Madam looks beautiful even without makeup."

Wan Ge was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected the other person to praise her. She didn't react for a moment, and when she did, her cheeks turned red instantly.

Wan Ge sat down beside him again: "Husband, you should go to sleep early, it's getting late."

Feng Ji lay down a little further inside: "Then Madam will stay with me."

Wan Ge didn't know what kind of feelings she was having. She knew that the other person was treating her this way because he was sick, but her heart still couldn't help but race, and she still couldn't help but want to get closer to him.

In the end, Wan Ge lay down beside him and closed her eyes to fall asleep with him.

Feng Ji's illness had long since healed, so he wasn't worried at all about infecting Wan Ge.

Wan Ge felt her heart was still beating a little fast, but she had already fallen asleep next to him yesterday, so she figured it would be fine today.

Smelling the incense burning in his room, Wan Ge drifted off to sleep.

After Wan Ge fell completely asleep, Feng Ji suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the person lying beside him, he couldn't help but smile, his fingertips brushing against her lips, and after a moment he lowered his head to kiss her.

His hand landed on hers, and their fingers intertwined.

"My lady, do you know that I have practiced this scene a thousand times in my dreams?" It's a pity that I still can't use it openly. I can only kiss her in this kind of situation.

Feng Ji lowered his head and kissed her many times before burying his head in the crook of her neck. He wanted to go even further, but he knew he would wake her up and she would be angry. She was already his wife, so why couldn't he?

…

The next day, Wan Ge found that her lips were swollen again. She applied the swelling-reducing ointment again. For some reason, she felt a little tired, probably because she had been in the same position for a long time.
