Red candles flickered in the room, shadows danced, and the beauty inside played with the wine cup in her hand. The white, almost translucent fingertips slid slowly along the edge of the cup, making Zhan Shaoxi unable to tear his eyes away, his throat terribly dry.

The dishes were placed on the table one by one, and the maids retreated with a wave from Xue Ling. Once the door closed, there were only the two of them in the room.

There was obviously a table between them, but Zhan Shaoxi felt that he could smell the wonderful scent on the other party's body, and it made him a little intoxicated. However, he could instinctively feel that something was about to happen that he could not prevent.

Filled with these feelings of uncertainty and suspicion, he opened his mouth to ask, "Wife, what did you want to say to me?"

Of course, he had not been naive enough to think that his wife would change her mind and suddenly be willing to live with him and **. According to his understanding of his wife during this period of time, there was an eighty percent chance that she had asked him over because she needed something from him.

In fact, he had not wanted to agree to many of his wife's requests, including keeping that damned child. But as long as he was faced with that pair of eyes, even if there were no good feelings contained within, Zhan Shaoxi could not help but agree.

The system was punched by Xue Ling after expressing that the man's subservience to his wife was almost maxed out.

"The General should have dinner first before asking again." Xue Ling seldom served dishes for Zhan Shaoxi, and it was all things he liked to eat, making the General so happy that he tossed the question to the back of his head.

It was a meal without all kinds of sarcasm and irony, and they both ate relatively comfortably until people were called over to clear the table. Xue Ling leisurely brought out a book of accounts from his bosom, leaned back in the chair, and lazily looked at Zhan Shaoxi.

"Actually, I invited the General over today for no reason other than to discuss some problems with the Manor. I wanted to know what the General's thoughts are." He handed the account book to Zhan Shaoxi and motioned for him to look at it. "Although the General said that I only need to handle my own duties, and nothing serious will happen even if I just pass my days sitting and eating in the manor waiting for death, but in the end I'm still your legally married wife, and should properly manage the household."

When Zhan Shaoxi heard the words 'legally married', he lowered his gaze to hide surging in his heart, but his mouth was slightly raised and he laughed a little foolishly. "What does Lady Wife mean?"

"Nothing really, I just looked through the accounts of the General's Manor these past few days and found that the Manor's regular income is regularly less than the spending." Xue Ling leisurely looked at his nails. They were round and beautiful, and his scallion-white fingers were as white as jade. No matter how they were placed, they were very beautiful. "Although the General's salary is generous, there are some etiquettes involved in dealing with all kinds of festivals. In addition, it is quite difficult to support a family, do some decorations, and still have some money left over."

Zhan Shaoxi: "..." So now he's being disdained by his wife for not making enough money to support his family?

"I'm not criticizing that the General's salary is too low. After all, General's Manor has a strong relationship with the royal family, and spending is required for all kinds of personal contacts. Fortunately, there are no concubines or mistresses in the Manor. Otherwise the maintenance and acquisition of the back court would also be a big expense." Speaking of this, he curved his lips into a smile and said, "But these things are uncertain. Perhaps one day, the General will install several sisters into the back court." His fingertips tapped the table gently. His words clearly carried a touch of rebuke, but from his mouth there was no spoiled or unhappy tone at all. Listening to it made a shiver run down Zhan Shaoxi's back.
