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

When Pei Zhu got into trouble, he thought about how a young lady like Ye Xi could cope with it. The Pei family was far away and could not put out a nearby fire, so he asked Douzi to go to his grandmother's house for help.

When his uncle knew about this, he would definitely find a way to rescue him, but he didn't expect that Douzi couldn't even find him.

Ye Xi knew something was wrong when she saw Pei Zhu's gloomy eyes, and quickly comforted him, "Husband, it's okay, tell me what happened, and I'll find a way for you."

Pei Zhu looked up at Ye Xi, raised his hand tremblingly, reached out from the wooden stake and stroked Ye Xi's face, saying: "My wife, I have caused you trouble. I have not let you live a good life, and you have to worry about me."

"Don't talk about this. Tell me quickly what's going on. Is what Douzi said true?" Ye Xi was extremely anxious.

Pei Zhu looked at Ye Xi deeply and said, "It's not true, I do stay at his place every time I travel, but I always pay for it.

But this time, he actually asked me for a sky-high price, which I definitely couldn't afford, and he also said that he would not live with him anymore. I didn't expect him to turn the tables and say that I was a deadbeat.

I think someone must be behind this, but I don’t know what their purpose is.”

Ye Xi understood that this was blackmail, but since the other party had this claim, they had to provide evidence, but at the moment it was just talk.

Logically speaking, Pei Zhu was not considered a prisoner before the trial began, but the jailer didn't think so. Since the person was in, he had to pay a price before he could leave.

Ye Xi always felt that this matter was related to someone, but she was not sure. If the other party wanted to set a trap, shouldn’t it be more serious or more complicated?

Such a simple and crude trap with no substantial evidence. Why lure people in and then let them go when it is discovered there is no evidence?

"Madam?" Pei Zhu looked at Ye Xi who was in deep thought and called softly.

"Husband, tell me where the inn is and what the owner's name is. I'll go there. If the other party is just after money, we can just spend money to get rid of the disaster. This prison is not a place to stay for long."

Ye Xi heard from Douzi that Pei Zhu had been here for two days and no one cared about him. Logically, someone should come and ask about him.

"Madam, I know where it is. I'll take you there." Douzi said on the side.

Pei Zhu agreed with Ye Xi's statement. This prison was not a place for human beings to stay. No matter if one was wrongly accused or not, one would suffer a lot once he/she came in.

He took out a private seal from his body, handed it to Ye Xi, and told Ye Xi to take the private seal to the shop to find the owner to withdraw money.

Ye Xi took the private seal and handed the things in Douzi's basket to Pei Zhu.

They were all food and water, telling Pei Zhu not to worry. She had already prepared them with silver before coming in, and the jailers should not make things difficult for him anymore.

Let him wait patiently while she tried to find a way to rescue him.

Pei Zhu never thought that Ye Xi, who was usually a delicate girl, could be so strong at this time, and was still calm when encountering such a thing. This was beyond his expectation.

Ye Xi did not stop. As soon as she came out of the yamen, she asked Chuntao to go home, and she took Douzi and ran to the inn.

The inn is on the official road outside Suzhou city, and it is specially provided for the accommodation of passers-by.

When Pei Zhu was traveling outside, he often arrived after the city gates were closed and had to stay the night here because there were no inns before or after, and he couldn't spend the night at the city gate.
