Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

"Good morning, my Lord."

The servant outside the door suddenly greeted him. Ye Xi knew that he had returned, and her hands couldn't help but tremble.

The door creaked, opened and closed, followed by heavy footsteps. Hearing this sound, Ye Xi seemed to have returned to the time when she was blindfolded. This fateful door opening and closing and footsteps. Ye Xi suddenly smiled bitterly. So that's it.

Ye Xi did not stand up to greet him, but sat blankly on the carved armchair made of huanghuali wood. The man stood in front of Ye Xi, casting a shadow over her. He looked down at her from a high position. Seeing that Ye Xi did not look up at him, he frowned, stretched out his hand to pinch her chin and lifted it up, looking her up and down carefully. She had lost weight, and she must have had a hard time outside. She probably did not sleep well these days, and there was a dark circle under her eyes.

"You went through so much trouble to run away, why did you come back on your own? I thought I had to search everywhere to catch you." The man sneered.

"Although your method is not as precise as a dragnet, it can at least hit the snake in its most vulnerable part. Why are you asking so many unnecessary questions?" Ye Xi looked at the man steadily. His fearless expression and these words made the anger that the man had suppressed with great difficulty emerge again.

He mercilessly let go of Ye Xi's chin, stretched his hand back, grabbed Ye Xi's hair and pulled it back hard.

"Uh!"

Ye Xi let out a cry of pain, but her eyes were still looking at him stubbornly, without saying a word.

"What a clever little girl, you have come up with a good plan. In order to prevent me from being suspicious of the jade pendant, you are very good at acting and gave me a jade pendant, huh?" The man pulled off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, held it in front of her and questioned, "I am just a cheapskate. I regard such a thing that is not presentable as a treasure. Who knew that it is just a straw sandal in the eyes of others." After saying that, he threw it hard, and the koi jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"That's why there's the term 'self-indulgent'." Ye Xi was still frantically testing the man's edge.

"Hehe, it seems that it's because I'm too nice to you, so you think I'm kind. Someone, bring a whip!" The man shouted towards the door, and soon someone came in tremblingly holding the whip he usually used. The man picked up the whip and told the person to get out, then pulled Ye Xi's hair with one hand and pressed the whip against Ye Xi's face with the other.

"Come, tell me, the reason you came back this time, it can't be that you missed my bed, right? Why, did you come back because you found that the men outside couldn't satisfy you?" The man said it unbearably, and Ye Xi blushed at the sarcasm. Seeing Ye Xi glaring at him fiercely, the man smiled evilly: "That's right, Xi Niang's debauchery in bed is not something that ordinary men can satisfy. Didn't I remember it because I saw it by accident?"

"Bah! You are so shameless, don't take me with you. I am a married woman and you have taken me by force. How dare you slander me like this? You even falsely accuse my husband of a crime. Is there no law in this world? Since when has it become so justified to take someone else's wife?"

"Shut up!" Wei Jue felt that Ye Xi was simply courting death. "Married woman", "husband", "occupying someone else's wife", every word accurately stepped on his minefield. The hand that was pulling her hair changed to pinching her neck. Ye Xi felt difficulty breathing, and at one moment she thought she was going to die. In a trance, she was wondering, when did all this start?

Maybe it started from that incident.
