Chapter 206 Feeding
The fingertips touched the forehead and then left.
"It's covered in mud."
Ji Changqing explained.
A trace of annoyance flashed through his mind. When he saw that her face was covered with mud, he subconsciously reached out his hand.
Only after wiping it did I realize that this was inappropriate.
He quickly made up for it, "I'm used to wiping San Huang. He often splashes blood when he tears his prey apart."
The peregrine falcon that stayed behind at the Ji Mansion said: Nonsense! Every time you saw my head feathers stained with blood, you always kicked me out and told me to clean it myself.
Feng Qingsui said in bewilderment, "Thank you, Second Master."
I was secretly wondering.
In Ji Changqing's eyes, is she the same as Sanhuang?
Then isn't cooking for her the same as feeding a pet?
No wonder I sometimes felt his eyes were a little strange, it turned out to be the doting look he gave his beloved pet.
It still seems a bit weird...
Suddenly I remembered the "feeding addiction" that my master mentioned. Some people like to feed their partner constantly and encourage them to gain weight. The fatter the other person is, the more excited they are.
The people being fed really enjoy the process of eating and gaining weight, and they also have fun doing it.
It seems appropriate to put Ji Changqing and her in their shoes?
She had indeed gained several pounds in the six months since she entered the Ji Mansion. If she stayed there for a long time, she would most likely be fed by Ji Changqing and become fat...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
Subconsciously took a step back.
Ji Changqing's expression froze.
Is she... sensing his feelings and wanting to distance herself from him?
"Aren't we going to play mahjong?" He suppressed his panic and walked towards the card table as if nothing had happened. "Let's start now."
Feng Qingsui raised his head and glanced at his handsome profile, thinking that Ji Changqing was a very handsome man with a bright and elegant demeanor, it was impossible for him to have such a niche hobby, right?
She must have misunderstood.
But why doesn't he get close to women?
Maybe I didn’t find a suitable feeder…
Her mind was full of distracting thoughts, and she played the cards in a mess, losing miserably.
Seeing that she was absent-minded and had no intention of playing cards, Ji Changqing was just trying to figure out what she was thinking at the moment.
Wuhua became the big winner.
"I'm really lucky today."
She stuffed the copper coins she won into her purse and said with a smile.
“This is the first time I’ve won so much.”
Feng Qingsui just smiled and said nothing.
Ji Changqing stood up, used a hoe to dig open the earthen kiln, and dug out the three chickens that had just been buried.
After prying open the mud layer and tearing open the lotus leaves, Feng Qingsui was filled with a fresh fragrance. He instantly threw away all distractions and ate with relish.
After eating two chicken legs, he noticed something strange and suddenly looked up.
It just happened to meet Ji Changqing's gaze.
This person just looks and doesn’t eat?
There is no chili in the baked chicken, so he won’t be too spicy this time, right?
"Your sleeves are falling down." Ji Changqing said calmly, "Be careful not to get any oil on them."
Feng Qingsui looked down and saw that it was just as he said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master."
She smiled.
I still have doubts in my heart.
He said, "I'm done eating," and went to wash his hands.
Ji Changqing pursed his thin lips.
She could eat half a salt-baked chicken in one sitting, but she only ate two legs of this oven-baked chicken. Was it because the taste wasn't good enough, or was it...
When Feng Qingsui came back after washing his hands, he was startled to see Ji Changqing looking at his remaining kiln chicken with an unexpected look on his face.
Is she unhappy if she doesn't eat him?
Is there really a feeding addiction?
Wuhua had already finished showing off a whole chicken, and seeing that Feng Qingsui still had half of it left, he naturally took it and started to gnaw on it.
She looked so cute while eating, but Feng Qingsui noticed that Ji Changqing didn't even look at her.
Is Ji Changqing's feeding habit targeted?
She pondered secretly.
With distracting thoughts in my mind, getting along with Ji Changqing was not as natural as before.
Ji Changqing saw it all and was anxious, but he didn't know where to start.
For the first time in my life, I felt powerless.
When he gave the order to Shi An, he unconsciously carried a bit of murderous intent.
"Have Admiral Xuan close the gates of Yunhuai County and arrest all officials in the county government and the gentry in the city, without exception."
Shi An took the order and left.
Magistrate Hu was discussing the rescue of Ji Changqing in a serious manner with a group of disaster relief officials in the county government office. Suddenly, Admiral Xuan led the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Imperial Army into the meeting room and arrested him and all the officials in the county government office.
"What are you doing?"
He looked stunned and panicked.
Admiral Xuan said coldly: "You know what good things you have done."
Magistrate Hu looked aggrieved: "I am, after all, an official appointed by the imperial court. Admiral Xuan has tied me up for no reason. Is he planning a rebellion?"
"For no reason?"
Ji Changqing walked in and threw a stack of account books onto the desk.
"He accepted bribes and perverted the law, arbitrarily levied taxes, seized the people's land, stole from the government, burned the government warehouse, and murdered the imperial envoy..."
"Master Hu's crimes are truly too numerous to list."
When the familiar stack of account books came into view, County Magistrate Hu knew he was finished.
The disaster relief officials all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ji Changqing return safely.
"Lord Ji is truly wise and powerful. He eradicated all the corrupt officials in Yunhuai County in one fell swoop."
"Not only did Magistrate Hu seize the granary for himself, he even dared to murder the imperial envoy and covet the disaster relief funds. He is truly audacious."
"You're just taking advantage of your remote location and looking down on us. You don't even think about who our Lord Ji is..."
…
Pei Yunzhan didn't smile.
He hadn't forgotten Feng Qingsui's kidnapping at the farm. Although he knew she had been deliberately used as bait, it was still difficult for a weak woman to face so many robbers...
After hesitating for a while, he stepped forward and asked, "Master Ji, how is Doctor Feng now?"
Ji Changqing suddenly turned around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.
"She's fine, thank you for your concern, Master Pei."
Pei Yunzhan's heart fell back to where it was.
Seeing this, Ji Changqing became more and more irritated.
After finishing the confiscation work carried out by officials in Yunhuai County that night, he returned to Zhen's residence and ran into Wuhua returning from outside with a food box. He stopped and asked, "You just had dinner?"
"This is my dinner."
Wuhua replied.
"Madam said she wasn't hungry."
Ji Changqing frowned.
She ate two chicken legs in the afternoon. Now it’s almost midnight. Isn’t she hungry?
"I'm going to make some wontons for a midnight snack. Ask your wife if she wants some."
Wuhua: "Okay."
When Feng Qingsui heard that Ji Changqing was going to make wontons, he was excited at first, but then became depressed.
"It's too late and hard to digest, so I won't eat it."
Wuhua relayed her words to Ji Changqing.
Ji Changqing's heart sank.
Every time I made midnight snacks for her in the past, she always enjoyed them happily. Have you ever seen her worry about digestion?
She was clearly avoiding him.
Is he so unattractive to her?
Or does she already have someone she likes?
Is it Qi Yu, Zong Hebai, or... Pei Yunzhan?
She has seen Pei Yunzhan's embarrassing look with shit all over his body, so how could she still like him?
In the east wing, Pei Yunzhan shuddered.
Songyan quickly put a coat on him.
"Master, you should rest early. You've finally gotten better. Don't make yourself sick again."
Pei Yunzhan looked at the half-finished drawing and shook his head, saying, "It's still early. I'll finish it before going to bed. If you're sleepy, you can rest first."
"Sir, you won't be using this blueprint anytime soon, so why rush it?"
"I've been out for so long, but I've been of no use at all. If I don't show some ability, I'm afraid I'll be sent back to Beijing."
When Pei Yunzhan said this, he had no idea that a few days later, he would be "entrusted with an important task" by Ji Changqing.
