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

"It's not that I don't want to leave, but where is my maid?" Ye Xi couldn't help but ask.

"She is in the carriage. I will take you away. Please go ahead." Liusu said.

Ye Xi got on the carriage and found Chun Tao was really on the horse, but she was still asleep. Before she turned around and said anything, Liu Su also got on the carriage.

"Don't worry, Miss Ye, she's fine. It's just that the effect of the drug hasn't worn off yet. Let me tell you the rules first. When I'm sending you off, Miss Ye, don't lift the curtain and look around. The less you know, the better."

"Cicada." Ye Xi lowered her head. She felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to be a demon. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

There was no bell in the carriage, and Ye Xi didn't know how long the carriage had been traveling. She just guessed that the carriage was gradually moving from a quiet place to a busy city, because she heard voices coming from far away and even around the carriage. After hearing the noisy voices outside, Liusu took out a pure white porcelain bottle from her arms and placed it under Chuntao's nose, shaking it back and forth a few times, and soon Chuntao woke up.

Chuntao was completely dazed and didn't know what happened. She was very slow to react and just asked what happened. Liusu explained that they were being plotted against by someone, but fortunately she happened to pass by and rescued them, and now she is sending them back. Liusu lied easily, and Ye Xi didn't expose it.

Not long after, the carriage stopped. When Ye Xi helped Chuntao out of the carriage, she found that Liusu had actually sent them back to the inn where they were staying. Her face turned pale instantly.

"Xi Niang?"

Sure enough, her worries came true. She turned around stiffly and saw Pei Zhu standing beside her with Douzi.

The sun was about to set, and Pei Zhu didn't expect that the guest he was supposed to entertain had to leave early due to some reasons, so he took the beans back to the inn. When he passed by a dessert shop, he thought that Ye Xi liked to eat sweets, so he brought some back. But he didn't expect to see Ye Xi and Chun Tao getting off a luxurious carriage when he arrived at the inn.

Pei Zhu thought he knew Ye Xi very well. Ye Xi would not spend money recklessly when traveling, and there was no need to rent such a luxurious carriage. Moreover, this carriage did not look like one that would be rented, but more like a family car for a wealthy family.

Ye Xi turned around and saw Pei Zhu. She was confused and didn't know what to say for a moment. Chun Tao, who was being supported, couldn't say anything. She was still confused. Liu Su looked at the situation and stepped forward to repeat her excuse. Before she finished speaking, Pei Zhu nervously stepped forward to support Ye Xi, and checked Ye Xi to see if she was injured. He was very concerned and showed a self-blame.

"It's all my fault for being careless. No matter how peaceful Yangzhou City is, we should still be on guard against villains. I frightened Xi Niang. It's all my fault, all my fault." After saying that, seeing that Ye Xi hadn't reacted yet, she thought that Ye Xi hadn't recovered from the shock yet, so she hugged Ye Xi in her arms, gently stroked Ye Xi's head, and comforted her, "It's okay now."

Pei Zhu asked Douzi to help Chuntao, while he helped Ye Xi, then thanked Liusu and asked which family she belonged to, so that he could bring Ye Xi to thank her some other day. Liusu explained that she just followed her master to Yangzhou City to do some business, and she saved Ye Xi by chance, so there was no need to thank her, and then she left in a carriage.

Pei Zhu was worried about Ye Xi's situation, so he didn't force her since she didn't want to reveal her identity. After the other party's carriage drove away, he helped Ye Xi back to the room.
