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

"I just noticed that this lotus pond is made of stagnant water and didn't find any mosquitoes breeding. I was curious how your family did it, so I turned around to take a look, but my husband pulled me back and he even blamed me." Her voice was soft and she felt like she was being wronged.

Pei Zhu coughed lightly when he heard it. Ye Xi frowned and glanced at him, then quickly shut up, thinking that she had said something wrong again. She felt aggrieved. In this evil dynasty, nothing a woman said was right.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, firstly because of Ye Xi's words, and secondly because of Ye Xi's tone. Like the other servants, he thought that Ye Xi had never seen the world and that was why she acted like that. He did not expect that she was just curious about how to avoid mosquitoes. He was also surprised by the coquettish tone in her voice, and wondered in his heart whether Ye Xi usually got along with Pei Zhu like this?

Pei Zhu knew something was wrong when he saw Yang Jian was stunned, and quickly said, "My dear Mr. Yang, I am sorry for my short-sightedness."

Yang Jian raised his hand to indicate that it was okay, and explained Ye Xi's question: "It is true that the water in this pond is stagnant, but the servants in the mansion will regularly change the water and remove the debris in the pond. In addition, there are some fish in this pond that specialize in eating mosquito larvae in the water, so it is not easy for mosquitoes to breed."

To put it bluntly, it is better maintained in hygiene, but it is very costly. How much effort is needed to change the water regularly in such a large pond? Even in modern times, such a large koi is not cheap. It is indeed a luxury, too luxurious! Ye Xi felt that it was good enough for her current home to have a well, and she really did not dare to hope for a pond.

After the episode, Pei Zhu pulled her to sit down quietly. Soon, the servant came to inform them that Yang Jian's friend had arrived, so they moved to the banquet hall. Yang Jian's friend was called Kuang Zhen, and he came with his wife. Ye Xi saw that the two of them were not young anymore, probably around 40 years old. It was said that they were interested in doing business in Suzhou City and wanted to find a partner. This dinner was Yang Jian's way of connecting Kuang Zhen and Pei Zhu. Ye Xi felt that rich people really don't mind having too much money. It's obvious that their livelihood in the capital is very impressive, but they have to go to Suzhou City to open up a new world.

Ye Xi was not interested in doing business. She was either eating or drinking the whole time. As long as she didn't say anything shocking, Pei Zhu would let her do whatever she wanted. After eating and drinking, Ye Xi needed to go to the toilet, so she called the maid from Yang's house. The maid naturally couldn't let the guest run around, so she took Ye Xi with her. Ye Xi had a problem. When she was going to the toilet, no one could be walking or waiting outside, otherwise she couldn't get out. So she asked the maid to go first, saying that she knew the way. The maid naturally refused, so Ye Xi could only ask her to go a little further away.

When she came out, she found that the person was gone. Ye Xi thought that the person just walked away. She waited for a while but the person didn't come back. She felt that she should know the way, so she decided to go back first. On the way back, she passed by the corridor of a wing room and heard someone talking inside. She didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but when she heard that it seemed to be related to Pei Zhu, she stopped.

In fact, Ye Xi was skeptical about Pei Zhu's knowledge of a person like Yang Jian. Not to mention that businessmen pursue profits, even friends would consider whether the other party is beneficial to them. Ye Xi thought that he would not hear any incredible secrets today.

Ye Xi did not put her ear close to the window to eavesdrop. She thought that if someone saw her doing that, it would be hard to explain. So she just stood in her original position, just pricked up her ears to listen to the movements in the room.
