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

Seeing the panicked maidservant, Ye Xi was very confused. It was the maidservant who ran away by herself, but how could she be lost? She was walking back in the same direction. When she came to the maidservant, she spoke in a low voice: "I'm sorry, let's go." After all, they were in someone else's house, so she still apologized.

When they got back to their seats, Pei Zhu worriedly asked her why she had been gone for so long. Ye Xi said that she got lost and was delayed for a while. Pei Zhu said nothing, but quietly served food to Ye Xi. Ye Xi naturally began to eat and drink, and smiled at Pei Zhu from time to time. Occasionally, there were some things that Ye Xi didn't like to eat, and Pei Zhu sighed and picked them out of Ye Xi's bowl and put them in his own bowl, and then ate them.

"Master Pei and Madam Pei are truly a loving couple. Master Pei not only serves food to Madam, but also eats her leftovers." Madam Kuang suddenly said, and it was unclear whether her words contained more sourness or sarcasm.

Ye Xi felt puzzled. It was common for men to serve dishes to modern couples, and it was also normal for them to eat what women didn't like. But she was ridiculed in both open and covert ways. She was speechless. She said directly, "My husband does the same at home. We are used to it."

This sentence made Madam Kuang look unhappy. Master Kuang looked at Pei Zhu meaningfully. Yang Jian had a blank expression on his face. The atmosphere was a little subtle for a while, and Ye Xi had a hard time eating. She signaled to Pei Zhu that she didn't want to eat anymore, and then held Pei Zhu's hand under the table and squeezed Pei Zhu's palm. Pei Zhu also pinched her back and told her not to worry about it. Ye Xi thought of the conversation of the maids in the wing room, and her mood was a little complicated. She glanced at Yang Jian and found that he was also glancing at her. The moment their eyes met, she shuddered. Would he think that she was trying to seduce him like the merchant's wife before? She quickly looked away, pretending that she didn't mean to look at him just now, hoping that the other party would not misunderstand, never!

The atmosphere of this dinner party was not right after Ye Xi came back. Kuang Zhen and Pei Zhu were chatting in the back. Ye Xi felt that they wanted to put on a show for their wife. After finally waiting for the banquet to end, Ye Xi thought to herself that it was a good thing that she would leave tomorrow, as she really couldn't stay here for a whole day.

They had already packed their bags before the banquet, and the next day, they set out for home as scheduled. This time they also had two carriages. Pei Zhu purchased some high-quality silk samples from Yangzhou and brought them back to Suzhou City. He thought that he could let his weavers learn from them and improve the quality of the silk.

In the past, he always did silk consignment sales, but later, after being reminded by Ye Xi, he said that since he had a cooperative weaving business, he might as well develop his own brand in addition to consignment sales. He felt that Ye Xi was right about one thing, and he also hoped that one day when others mentioned a certain type of silk, they would think of his Pei family, or even think of Pei Zhu himself.

They stayed in Yangzhou for more than a month, which was something neither Pei Zhu nor Ye Xi had expected. Because there was no one left to guard the yard in Suzhou, there was a layer of dust when they returned home. It was evening when they returned home, and they cleaned up until very late. Pei Zhu was a typical gentleman who stayed away from the kitchen. To put it bluntly, he didn't care about housework. Naturally, he wouldn't do this kind of cleaning, and let Douzi and Chuntao help. Ye Xi had also been unexpected about this, but she thought a lot about it, and finally found many advantages of the other party to cover up some shortcomings, after all, no one is perfect.
