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

In the next few days, Pei Zhu originally wanted to postpone the social events and spend more time with Ye Xi, but Ye Xi disagreed and asked Pei Zhu to finish the work here as soon as possible and return to Suzhou City. Pei Zhu thought it made sense, so he went out as planned, while Ye Xi and Chun Tao stayed in the inn and did not go out.

Ye Xi finally figured it out these days. She felt that since the other party had let her go, they would not attack her or the Pei family. After all, the other party knew everything about the inn where they stayed and the Pei family, so it should be easy for them to do something to them. Now she does have a "handle" in the hands of the other party. Although it is really nothing to her, it is fine as long as the other party thinks it counts. However, this incident still had a deep impact on her. She could not get away from it all at once, and she was depressed these days.

Chun Tao didn't know what happened, she only knew that Ye Xi was unhappy, and under Pei Zhu's instructions, she stayed with Ye Xi almost all day. Seeing Ye Xi like this, she thought she should do something to distract her attention, but it was inconvenient for them to go out now, so she found a lot of silk and needles and persuaded Ye Xi to do needlework together. Ye Xi thought this was a good idea, so she agreed.

Ye Xi had only been here for less than two years. Her family doted on her. Although she was not very good at needlework, her family did not blame her, but she felt that she still needed to learn needlework. Chuntao was a good needleworker, so she had a ready-made teacher. Ye Xi wanted to embroider a purse for Pei Zhu, but she didn't know what pattern to embroider. Chuntao said that they had just gotten married and could embroider a mandarin duck. Ye Xi felt that it was inappropriate for a grown man to carry a mandarin duck purse, but Chuntao was a person of the current dynasty, so she should be right.

This was the first time Ye Xi studied needlework so hard and found it was really difficult. Cutting was relatively simple, but sewing was the most difficult, as she had to constantly sew and unsew. Ye Xi felt that Chuntao, who knew the pattern by heart, would be able to sew like a god, and a weakling like her who had to learn the sewing technique would be lucky to be able to embroider an outline. The workload for a small purse was not large, but the result was really terrible. Chuntao asked Ye Xi to revise it many times, and finally gave up when she saw that Ye Xi seemed a little angry.

Ye Xi felt that her mood seemed to be much better. What happened before was just a nightmare. It was over and life had to go on.

In the evening, Pei Zhu came back, and Ye Xi happily presented the purse she made. Pei Zhu took it and saw that it was embroidered with two ducks. He thought about it and thought it was embroidered with two mandarin ducks. He found it funny. It was the first time he saw Ye Xi's needlework, and it was so hard to describe. Looking at Ye Xi's expectant eyes, it was rare for her to be happy, as if she had walked out of the haze. Pei Zhu couldn't refuse or comment on her needlework, so he pretended to be happy and accepted it.

During the rest at night, Pei Zhu touched Ye Xi's body. Ye Xi's body became stiff. When Pei Zhu's movements became more and more profound, Ye Xi reached out and held down the other's hand.

"Husband, I..."

"I know, I'm sorry." Pei Zhu pulled his hand away, hugged Ye Xi instead, and lay quietly.

"Or, I'll use my hands..." Ye Xi said weakly with a flushed face.

Pei Zhu was silent, then suddenly smiled. The vibration coming from his throat was extremely sexy, perhaps it was related to his current state of wanting sex.
