Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 244: Confession ( 2 )

Yao Zhi held her husband’s hand tightly and replied, "Husband, I miss you, too." After she pulled him to sit on the cart, she checked his body for any injuries and asked, "How are you doing lately?"

Meeting his wife’s gaze, Fu Chen’an smiled. "I’m doing fine, don’t worry. Although the training is hard and I’m busier than before, I have learned a lot of new skills."

When she heard this, Yao Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. She took out the food from the bamboo basket and said, "Let’s eat first before the food gets cold."

"Okay."

The two of them finished their food in less than half an hour. While she was packing the bowls and utensils, Fu Chen’an took out the empty waterskins, bamboo baskets, and jars from his spatial bag.

"Wife, I finished some of the food you gave me."

Yao Zhi nodded and stored the things in her system’s storage. Afterward, she took out 10 waterskins containing water mixed with spiritual spring water.

Fu Chen’an hesitated for a moment before he said, "Wife, do you have more tanghulu?"

Knowing that her husband had a sweet tooth, Yao Zhi smiled and replied, "I made more and brought it for you."

After she said this, she took out 500 tanghulu, 500 fried dough twists, 500 chicken pastries, and 500 thousand-layer cakes from her system’s storage.

The moment she took out the food, Fu Chen’an stored it in his spatial bag. Therefore, the guards didn’t notice anything.

Besides that, Yao Zhi also gave him baked char siu bao and pan-fried steamed buns, 1,000 each. After she gave her husband enough food and snacks, she said, "Husband, I have something to tell you."

Noticing his wife’s solemn expression, Fu Chen’an asked, "Wife, what is it?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

After hesitating for a while, Yao Zhi finally made up her mind and said, "Husband, actually, I have been hiding something from you."

When he heard this, Fu Chen’an’s eyes flickered for a moment. He knew that the so-called divine physician might be a lie, but he didn’t want to force her to confess.

Now that she was finally willing to tell him her secret, he was delighted and overjoyed. As husband and wife, there shouldn’t be any secrets between them.

He didn’t urge her or interrupt her. Holding her hand, he just waited for her to continue her words.

Encouraged by her husband’s silent support, Yao Zhi took out Lei Feng’s household registry, land deeds, warehouse deed, storefront deed, and the slaves’ deeds from her system’s storage.

She showed them to him and said, "When the General asked people to donate grain to the White Tiger Army, I disguised myself as a man and used this identity to donate the grain."

"Since then, I have had some business dealings with the General’s wife. To ensure that no one could track it back to me, I bought a warehouse and a storefront. The name on the deeds is mine, but people only know that it was owned by Lei Feng."

"I plan to build a workshop on the land near the warehouse and sell the products in the storefront. As for the slaves, I bought them so they could help me guard the workshop and warehouse. The female slaves will be responsible for managing the store."

When he heard his wife’s words, Fu Chen’an was stunned.

He knew that a merchant from the southern area had donated a lot of grain to the White Tiger Army. This matter was known by every soldier since the donation not only solved their urgent problem but also improved their food quality.

After a long silence, he finally asked, "Wife, where did you get so many grains?"

Yao Zhi was stunned by his question. She only thought about confessing her identity as Lei Feng and never expected him to ask about the source of the grains.

Meeting her husband’s gaze, she realized that she was way too naive and careless. She recalled everything she did back then for a while before she asked, "Husband, have you been suspecting me for a long time?"

Since his wife had decided to confess, Fu Chen’an also didn’t want to hide anything from her. He nodded and replied, "I knew that you were hiding something since the day I returned home."

After a moment of pause, he continued, "Wife, I’m glad that you are willing to share your secret with me. But if you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to force it. No matter what, I will stand by your side."

Yao Zhi saw her husband’s sincerity and determination in his deep eyes. She lowered her head and asked, "System, if I told my husband about your existence, would I get punished?"

She thought that the system wouldn’t reply to her. Unexpectedly, a second later, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind.

"The Host can reveal the system’s existence to people from this world. But to ensure the secrecy of the system’s power, the system would have to put the person who learned about the system’s existence under supervision."

"Is there any way to let my husband know without putting him under supervision?"

"Of course, there is a way. Since the Host might put the system in a dangerous situation by revealing its existence, the Host must pay 1,000,000 merit points as compensation."

"1,000,000 merit points?! That’s too much!" Yao Zhi exclaimed in shock.

"If it’s too expensive, the Host can choose not to reveal the system’s existence."

Yao Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "After I pay the compensation, can I tell the secret to others besides my husband?"

"1,000,000 merit points is compensation for one person. If the Host wants to tell another person, the Host must pay another 1,000,000 merit points."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi felt as if her liver and kidneys were in danger.

Clutching her stomach, she raised her head and met her husband’s gaze. Although he didn’t urge her, she saw expectation, anxiety, and worry in his eyes.
