Chapter 223: The Mysterious Lei Feng ( 2 )

Hearing Chun Hua’s report, Xue Ya’er quickly said, ”Bring him to the side hall.”

”Yes, Madam.”

Seeing his wife standing up, Lu Qianxuan followed after her. When Steward Han saw them, he quickly bowed and said, ”Greetings, General. Greetings, Madam.”

Since this matter was about the inner courtyard, Lu Qianxuan didn’t plan to interfere. ”You may rise.” After he said this, he glanced at his wife and sipped his tea.

”Uncle Han, is it done?” Xue Ya’er asked.

Steward Han nodded and replied, ”The goods have been stored in the warehouse. But the account hasn’t been settled yet, and Young Master Lei said that he won’t come for a visit in the near future.”

Hearing this, Xue Ya’er was taken aback and asked, ”Did he tell you the reason?”

”Young Master Lei said that he still has matters to attend to and will inform Madam when he gets the goods you requested. As for the payment, he said nothing. Perhaps he will send his people to take it later.”

When he heard this, Lu Qianxuan asked, ”Wife, this person looks suspicious. Do you know his background?”

Xue Ya’er shook her head and replied, ”When he first came to find me, I had sent people to investigate his background, but we found nothing.”

”At first, I doubted his origin and suspected that he had bad intentions. But he never did anything that harmed us. Instead, all he did was actually help us. So, I stopped investigating.”

Lu Qianxuan thought for a moment and said, ”I will send people to investigate him. Even if he helped us, it doesn’t guarantee that he won’t harm us in the future.”

Xue Ya’er considered telling her husband about Lei Feng’s gender, but after she thought for a while, she decided not to tell him. To be honest, she was still unable to trust her husband fully, and this matter was related to Lei Feng’s safety.

After she made up her mind, she turned to her husband and asked, ”H-husband, for now, use the 10,000 pelts first. When I get more, I will send them to the barracks.”

When he heard this, Lu Qianxuan realized that over the years, his wife had worked so hard to support him and the White Tiger Army. His guilt deepened, and he held her hand. ”Wife, I’m sorry for troubling you with my matters. If you need anything, just let me know.”

”Helping you manage the house and support you is my duty.”

Hearing her polite words, Lu Qianxuan sighed in his heart. It wouldn’t be easy to change his wife’s mind regarding their relationship.

While his wife discussed the household matters with Steward Han, he listened in silence. He always thought that it wouldn’t be that hard since everything had been taken care of by his wife. Only now did he realize that managing the General’s mansion was not easy.

After they finished discussing the household matters, Xue Ya’er said, ”Husband, the hot water has been prepared. Do you want to take a bath first or eat first?”

Looking at the sky, it was almost noon. ”I will take a bath first, then we can have a meal together.”

”Okay.”

While he went to take a bath, Xue Ya’er instructed the servants to prepare everything. As for the matter regarding Su Jiaoyi and the jade pendant, she didn’t want to trouble herself and threw it to the back of her mind.

At noon, Yao Zhi and the Fei Long Escort Agency returned to the warehouse. While they were having their lunch, she said, ”Master Luo, I want to hire people to build the wall as soon as possible.”

”Young Master Lei, it’s winter now. Although there is no snowfall, the weather is cold, and the soil has hardened. It won’t be easy to hire people.”

Hearing this, Yao Zhi said, ”The daily wage is 30 Wen.”

When he heard this, Luo Bo was taken aback. Thinking about their family members at home, he asked, ”Young Master Lei, how many people do you want to hire?”

”The more, the better. I want to finish building the wall as soon as possible.”

Luo Bo nodded. ”In that case, I have to go back today.”

”The next batch of goods might arrive tomorrow night. So, everyone can go back today.”

”Okay,” they nodded and replied in unison.

After lunch, Yao Zhi handed 30 taels of silver for their wages to Luo Bo. When she was alone, she locked the warehouse and went to town.

She took off her disguise and changed her clothes in an abandoned house before she returned to the village. Since she didn’t return yesterday, as soon as she arrived, Ye Ying and Bai Xue pounced on her.

She almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she managed to hold onto the gate and stabilize her footing.

”Awoo~” The wolf cubs let out aggrieved cries as they stared at her with accusing gazes.

Meeting their gaze, Yao Zhi felt guilty and said, ”Sorry, I had to handle something important and forgot to prepare your food and water beforehand.”

After she said this, she closed the gate and went to the kitchen. She looked at their bowls and noticed that there was a trace of blood.

”Did the two of you go to the mountain to hunt?” she asked.

Her wolves nodded and nudged her hand. Seeing this, she took their bowls and said, ”Okay, okay. Wait for a moment.”

Yao Zhi cleaned their bowls, then filled them with water from her system’s farmland. Afterward, she added two drops of spiritual spring water for each of them.

While they were drinking their water, she took out the pork liver and chickens from her system husbandry’s warehouse. She minced them using the meat blender and served the food to them.

When she was done, she went to the shed to feed her donkey. Seeing her coming, Xiao Lu let out an angry snort and stomped its front leg.

Yao Zhi rubbed its neck and said, ”I’m sorry. I promise I won’t forget to give you food and water anymore.”
