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

Bribery in prisons also has various specifications and names, such as "all-inclusive", which means spending money to buy off all personnel from doormen to prison officers, as well as relevant government officials and waiters.

"Two-end package" means buying inside but not outside, buying top but not bottom; "immediate payment" means that every time a prisoner makes a request for action, he must give money and the reward will be paid immediately; "one-end payment" means using money to bribe the prison boss to avoid physical torture, etc. [1]

Ye Xi inquired about the situation of bribery in the government prison, and she chose "all inclusive" without hesitation.

She was worried that she had missed a link and that Pei Zhu would suffer in prison.

The price of the all-inclusive package was not cheap, so she gave away almost all the banknotes she brought with her, and then met with Pei Zhu.

Although the prison layout of Suzhou City is different from that of Hangzhou City, the dim environment inside is exactly the same.

She went in with Douzi and asked Chuntao to wait outside the yamen gate.

They came to the darkest compartment, and the prison boss told her that Pei Zhu was inside.

"Husband, husband, are you there?" The compartment was too dark, Ye Xi couldn't see where the person was at all, and could only shout in a low voice.

"Madam? Madam." A whispering voice came from inside, getting closer and closer. Ye Xi finally saw Pei Zhu who came to her in the dim light.

She was stunned for a moment. Pei Zhu had wounds on his face and his clothes were dirty. He obviously looked like he had been "taken care of".

Her tears suddenly came out. What was going on? Before finding out whether he was wrongly accused or not, he was already being taught a lesson.

"Husband, what happened to you? Did they beat you?" She reached out her hand and stroked Pei Zhu's face through the wooden stake, carefully avoiding the wounds on Pei Zhu's face, and asked with heartache.

"It's okay, just a minor injury. I guess you were scared. Where's Douzi?" Pei Zhu didn't expect Ye Xi to come by herself. He had originally asked Douzi to go to his grandmother's house to find someone for help, but Douzi probably didn't do as he said.

"Young Master, I'm here." Douzi flashed out from behind Ye Xi.

"Didn't I tell you to go to your grandmother's house? What are you doing?" Pei Zhu asked.

"Master, I went there, and the concierge said the old lady was ill and would not see guests, and my uncle was very busy and would not see guests either.

I've been waiting for a long time, but I couldn't see anyone. I had no choice but to go back and tell the Madam, fearing that you might be in danger," Douzi explained.

Pei Zhu didn't say anything, but Ye Xi understood what was going on.

When she got married, she thought that since she came to Suzhou City, she would have to visit Pei Zhu's grandmother's house from time to time to pay her respects, but in the end she only went there twice.

Once was when I first arrived in Suzhou City, and once was during the Chinese New Year last year, and I haven’t been there since.

She later found out that although her grandmother and uncle liked Pei Zhu very much, his cousins ​​did not welcome him.

Because Pei Zhu was considered a relatively outstanding junior of their generation, the brothers who had grown up with him were wary of him because they were worried that Pei Zhu would divide up their family property.

They thought that after Pei Zhu returned to Hangzhou to get married, they would rarely see each other again. Unexpectedly, Pei Zhu moved to Suzhou half a year after his marriage and planned to settle down there. What did the cousins ​​think?

Later, she made her attitude very direct that, except for visiting relatives during the holidays, Pei Zhu was not welcome to visit her grandmother's house often.

Ye Xi felt unfair for Pei Zhuming at first, but later she got used to it. After all, she couldn't stop other people's ideas.
