Once breakfast started and for the first time ever, braised eggs weren't served, a slow conversation began.
Duke Li Shenyang quietly snickered to himself at the dejected expression of Li Wenmin who dearly missed his favorite dish. He chose to ignore the glum glares thrown by Li Wenmin. Instead, the Duke focused his attention on Li Xueyue.
"I'm sure Chenyang pinpointed the problem of your business plan?" Duke Li Shenyang spoke up.
Yesterday night, Duke Li Shenyang had briefly mentioned everything to his wife. Of course, he left out the dubious parts like bribing pirates and workers. For Li Xueyue's sake, he had summarized it in the most sugar-coated way possible. As mischievous as his wife was, she was too paranoid of things and he didn't want her to overthink about every little thing.
To the Duke, her only role in this house was to be pampered, live in luxury and have a worry-free life.
