Chapter 920 My Husband Needs Discipline
"cough."
The problem was rather tricky, so Qi Heng coughed twice to signal his subordinates, and Qingxing and Qi'er helped him explain.
"My lord, my lady, this servant will take her leave now."
Whoever made the mistake should figure out how to fix it. Qingxing knew she didn't have that ability, so she took the ledger and left first.
Qi'er was only one step slower than Qingxing. Before she escaped, she saw that Baicha was still in a daze, so she forcibly dragged her away.
After the maid left, only the couple remained in the room.
Qi Heng was helpless. Not only did his subordinates disobey orders, but they even dared to give him attitude.
Qi Heng concealed the matter of the body double from Lin Yuesha, simply because he didn't want her to worry, and acted first and informed her later.
Inside the room, Lin Yuesha occasionally flipped through the account books; otherwise, it was quiet except for the howling of the north wind.
Qi Heng remained silent, deciding not to explain for now and to focus on filling his wife's stomach first.
In an effort to achieve realism, Lin Yuesha only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge that day and was starving.
News came from his subordinates that Yuwen Kun and Helian Cheng rushed to Jinyu Pass overnight, and Qi Heng's disguise was temporarily put to an end.
He pushed open the door and went straight to the main kitchen.
As soon as the person left, Lin Yuesha immediately raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
This wasn't the first time Qi Heng had fooled her. In the past, he had been very confident in his arguments. But after they got married, Qi Heng changed his tactics and started to act subservient and humble again. He thought that admitting his mistake would put the matter behind him.
Lin Yuesha waited for Qi Heng to find an explanation so she could scold him. Once she had prepared her explanation, Qi Heng left.
Perhaps Qi Heng truly didn't realize he had done anything wrong.
Lin Yuesha pouted, deciding to give the cold shoulder for now and observe the situation before making a move. If she backed down so easily this time, there would be other similar situations in the future.
Madam Xu not only taught Lin Yuesha martial arts, but also taught her some ways of getting along as a couple.
Lin Yuesha pondered that Qi Heng was just used to being in charge, had too many subordinates, and always wanted to have the final say. He was subjective in his actions and lacked discipline.
If she doesn't express her feelings and keeps giving in, she'll feel even less guilty if Qi Heng deceives her again in the future.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha clenched her fist and focused her attention on the ledger.
Admittedly, she wronged Wang Binglan, but Wang Binglan was also quite unethical, increasing her workload considerably.
Thankfully, the accountant they hired had already completed his apprenticeship and officially taken over a job; otherwise, with the ledgers piling up, it would have taken Lin Yuesha a long time to finish them all by herself.
Lin Yuesha became completely absorbed in the statistical data.
About half an hour later, someone pushed open the door and entered, followed by a spicy and fragrant aroma.
Lin Yuesha sniffed, and her stomach growled twice, but she forced herself not to look up, her attention wandering.
"My wife, come and eat. Try my cooking."
Qi Heng smiled, adopting a humble and ingratiating posture.
Put aside marital conflicts for now. A wife is unlikely to be in a good mood when she's hungry. Talk about it again after she's eaten and drunk her fill.
There were plenty of ingredients in the large kitchen. Qi Heng saw live fish in a basin of water and quickly made a boiled fish dish.
Boiled fish is one of Lin Yuesha's favorite dishes. Qi Heng doesn't know how to make it. After tasting it, he thought about it for a moment and found that apart from the initial difficulty in deboning and slicing the fish into thin slices, the rest of the steps went smoothly.
A dish of boiled fish to go with rice, a dish of stir-fried cabbage and wood ear mushrooms with vinegar, a dish of deep-fried meatballs, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
After the egg drop soup was cooked, Qi Heng chopped some scallions and added a few drops of sesame oil, so that the soup was covered with oil.
"My wife, it's cold. You need to eat something hot, or it will get cold."
Qi Heng served the rice and walked behind Lin Yuesha.
Lin Yuesha had already engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
There were two little people in her mind arguing with each other.
One petty person believed that they shouldn't eat the food Qi Heng prepared, that they should have backbone, otherwise eating it meant they had forgiven Qi Heng. Qi Heng developed this habit and continued to use the same approach every time.
The other, less righteous person, believed that regardless of whether the couple argued, they shouldn't mistreat themselves. Lin Yuesha hadn't eaten all day and was now starving, so she should eat first.
After a brief struggle, Lin Yuesha decided to take the latter's advice and prioritize eating.
Does her eating Qi Heng's food mean she forgave him? These are two different things.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha stood up and went straight to the dining table.
Qi Heng is indeed talented; at least several of his dishes were visually appealing, earning high praise from Lin Yuesha, the head chef.
After sitting down, Lin Yuesha picked up a piece of glistening fish slice. The fish slice had a golden-yellow skin and almost melted in her mouth. The crispy, numbing, and spicy taste was unforgettable.
It's so delicious!
With this level of skill, Lin Yuesha could easily eat two bowls of rice.
Without giving Qi Heng another glance, Lin Yuesha frequently picked up her chopsticks. The stir-fried cabbage and wood ear mushrooms were decent, but the deep-fried meatballs were slightly overcooked, with the meat filling seasoned with five-spice powder and minced ginger. However, the flavor was just right.
In the blink of an eye, the bowl of rice was empty.
Qi Heng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to savor his own cooking when Lin Yuesha stopped him.
"You vomited up the herbal medicine, and your stomach is empty, so you can't eat spicy or stimulating food."
Lin Yuesha, looking as if she was considering Qi Heng's feelings, placed the boiled fish in front of her so that it would be easy for her to pick it up.
Okay, my wife is right.
Qi Heng gave up on the boiled fish and instead turned his attention to the deep-fried meatballs.
"Even the small meatballs are no good. They contain too much ginger, and ginger is considered a 'heating' food, which might clash with the medicinal properties. To be on the safe side, it's best not to eat them."
Lin Yuesha placed the small meatballs in front of her, then made an excuse to take away the stir-fried cabbage and wood ear mushrooms with vinegar, leaving Qi Heng with only a bowl of egg drop soup.
At this moment, Lin Yuesha had already finished two bowls of rice, but she was still not quite full.
"Only one egg drop soup is left."
Qi Heng sighed. He didn't try it first. Judging from the speed at which Lin Yuesha ate, he must be quite skilled.
"Egg drop soup with flatbread is the best, it's good for the stomach."
Lin Yuesha brought over the rice in front of Qi Heng and handed him the last piece of bread.
After Lin Yuesha had eaten her fill, Qi Heng said nervously, "My wife, you have eaten the food I cooked, which means you have forgiven me."
"What? You did all of this?"
Lin Yuesha said in shock, "You only called me to eat, but you didn't say that you cooked it."
Anyone can be a liar, Lin Yuesha waved her hand and said, "You did nothing wrong, so there's no question of forgiveness."
Qi Heng pondered carefully; his wife's tone was off. He was wrong, he had to be wrong.
"So where did you go wrong?"
Lin Yuesha sat down again, sipping her tea leisurely as she asked.
I shouldn't have kept it from you.
Qi Heng answered honestly, though he was flustered inside, he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.
"Yes, you know you're wrong, but you still choose to do it, so what do you have to apologize for?"
Lin Yuesha hit the nail on the head: since they knew the truth but still chose to do it anyway, they didn't need to apologize.
