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

On a dark and windy night, a shadow quietly sneaked into the west wing of the Pei family mansion and hid in the small attic inside the house. Some families with narrow entrances would use the upper edge of the house to make a low space as a small attic for storage. The shadow hid in a corner full of debris. Even if someone turned on a light and went up to the attic, they would not be able to find someone hiding in the attic without looking carefully.

Soon the shadow heard someone talking in the room, and then he found light coming from the floor under his feet. It turned out that the person who entered the room had lit a candle. He then realized that the gap between the floor under his feet was quite wide, probably intentionally to save on board materials. He saw that the gap was almost two fingers wide, which was quite bad. However, he looked around with the leaking candlelight and found that the sundries were basically placed on both sides, with the middle empty, just as an aisle. He thought that he was now in the place where the sundries were, and he probably wouldn't be discovered, so he was relieved, but he kept his ears open to the movement downstairs.

In fact, the original structure of this wing was not like this. The original east and west wings were occupied by Pei Lin, the eldest son of the Pei family. Because he disliked the lack of storage space, he renovated the west wing and added a small attic. Pei Zhu had been raised in his grandmother's home in Hangzhou for some reason, and was taken back to the Pei family in Suzhou just before his marriage. So the west wing was allocated to Pei Zhu, and most of Pei Lin's things were moved out, but he insisted on not moving the things in the attic. Pei Zhu was not a good person, thinking that less trouble was better than more trouble. In addition, Pei Zhu wanted to set up a new business, so he did not fight for it. Ye Xi was generous and did not comment on this, so the small attic has been preserved until now.

Ye Xi didn't expect Pei Zhu to come home so late. She returned to the house right after serving him dinner. She asked the maid to prepare hot water in the compartment in the house and urged Pei Zhu to take a bath. Since she had already taken a bath, she made the bed in the house. She hummed songs while making the bed. They were all modern ancient style songs. One reason was that she liked ancient style, and the other was that most modern songs were not suitable for singing in this era, mainly because the lyrics were relatively explicit in this era.

Ye Xi felt that all this was like a dream. She had been here for two years. At the age of 24, she kept working hard and determined to reach the pinnacle of her life and then marry a little boy she liked. As a result, she encountered an accident in modern times and was electrocuted to death by high voltage electricity. Unexpectedly, she woke up and became the 14-year-old Ye Xi. She spent a long time to digest this fact, and then was forced to understand this dynasty, praying in her heart that it was not the dynasty that was about to perish. After some understanding, it seemed that it was not any historical dynasty she knew. She only knew that it was the Great Zhou Dynasty and the emperor of the dynasty was surnamed Zhao. This surname and the name of the dynasty did not match the history she knew.

She was only secretly lucky that her family of origin was an open-minded one, that she could at least read and write, that her parents were relatively tolerant of her, and that there was only her and her brother Ye Xin at home. However, this kind of happiness did not last long, and soon she faced something that made her even more anxious, that is - getting married.

When she knew that she would marry into the Pei family, which had already arranged a marriage, she felt uneasy for a long time. You have to know that in this era when the husband is the head of the wife, all her future will depend on her husband's family. She once hinted to her mother that she hoped to marry two years later and stay with her parents to fulfill her filial duty. Although her parents were reluctant, they both believed that their daughter's marriage was the greatest filial duty to her parents.
