When Ye Xi returned home, Chun Tao opened the door. When she saw Ye Xi's swollen eyes, she worriedly asked what happened. Ye Xi lied and asked Chun Tao to prepare hot water for her bath. Chun Tao saw that the sun had not yet set, and Ye Xi wanted to bathe. This was very unusual, but Ye Xi's eyes were swollen and her face was not good, so she did not ask any more questions and hurried to prepare the bath water.

Sitting in the bathtub, Ye Xi rubbed her body vigorously. She had a premonition that everything would be different after this incident. The peaceful days of the past were gone. She didn't know what to do in the future and could only sit in the bathtub and cry silently.

On the other side, Wei Jue was also restless after sending Ye Xi away. There was something Ye Xi didn't know, she almost became free. It turned out that when he learned that she was going back to her parents' home, Wei Jue did not stop her, but chased after her. On the way, in order to meet her formally, he designed the inn to be full. He wanted to consciously give up his room to win the favor of his wife, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to him on his own initiative, which made him happy.

He tricked the bandits he was planning to wipe out onto the road she was going to pass by, and acted as a hero to save the beauty. He thought that all this would make the young lady like him and fulfill his unreasonable wishes, but she didn't make any move to show her affection. He thought the time was not right and the young lady was still reserved, so he took the opportunity when the servant came to report that she had gone to Lingyin Temple and chased after her.

In order to create an opportunity for them to get along, he used the excuse of asking her to meet someone. In fact, all this was unnecessary, but he still did it in order to show her his high position and power, and let her know that he could give her the wealth and glory that no one else could give her.

But she was still on guard against him, because Xue Jiu reported back that Ye Xi claimed to live in the inn, which made him realize that this young lady never trusted him. How could he not know where her home was? Knowing this, he gave up the idea of ​​letting Xue Jiu look for her again. Recalling his ridiculous behavior in the past year, hooking up with a married woman, leaving Suzhou City not long after taking office for her, and moving up the time for the suppression of bandits, and risking his life when the plan was not yet thorough. All this made him realize that he was in too deep, for a mere young lady.

He thought about it all night and felt that it was time for him to let go. She was not the only young lady in the world. He had spent too much time on her and even asked Yang Jian to restrain her husband. After that night, his obsession faded. After Wei Jue finished suppressing the bandits, he went back home to Suzhou City and worked quietly as the Minister of War.

When he saw her outside the Commandery today, he was very surprised. In fact, he recognized her when he was still some distance away from her. He himself did not realize how familiar he was with her. Even though she was wearing a veil, he could recognize her by her figure. When he learned that she came to see him, he secretly delighted, but his face remained expressionless.

But when he heard that Ye Xi came to ask for help and brought two unexpected news, he was shocked. He didn't expect that a woman in seclusion could be so sensitive and bold. Although she mistook him for an assassin, he had to admire her thoughts and courage. You have to know that Ye Xi is not a noble lady. She has limited connections and only a little money to bribe herself. You know, she doesn't even have vulgar yellow and white things.
