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

What Ye Xi feared most was that the ribs would pierce his internal organs, but the doctor couldn't see it. After all, there were no X-ray machines in ancient times.

Ye Xi heard Pei Zhu's groan and hurried over to check, and asked, "Does it hurt? Does your internal organs hurt? You should tell the doctor where it hurts, for fear that your ribs may have pierced your internal organs."

Pei Zhu tried to struggle to get up, but he was too painful to move. Ye Xi quickly held him down: "Don't move, leave the rest to me. Tell me first if there is any pain in your internal organs."

Pei Zhu said: "It hurts."

This frightened Ye Xi, and she went to see a doctor. The doctor thought Ye Xi was exaggerating, and said that it was normal to feel pain after a broken rib. He also said that the person who did it knew how to handle it, and that it was just a broken rib, and that there was no damage to the internal organs, so Ye Xi could rest assured. Ye Xi didn't know medicine, so since the doctor said so, she could only let it go. Douzi's injury was bandaged, and Ye Xi considered that Pei Zhu couldn't move, so she went out and paid for an ox cart and two servants, and asked them to help carry the man onto the cart and send him back home.

Ye Xi was busy wiping Pei Zhu's body and boiling medicine. She only completely relaxed after Pei Zhu drank the medicine and fell asleep. Perhaps because he was too tired, Ye Xi also fell asleep soon after.

The next day, after Ye Xi fed Pei Zhu, she went to see Douzi when she came out. Pei Zhu was in pain when he breathed, so Ye Xi didn't want to ask him anything, lest Pei Zhu suffer, but she could ask Douzi. Douzi explained that they didn't know what happened. They were going to go home after they came out of the store, but on the way they were beaten by a group of people. The other party had his face covered, so it was unknown who he was, but judging by his skills, he seemed well-trained.

Ye Xi's mind suddenly went blank when she heard this. She seemed to have thought of something, but was not sure, so she asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Douzi said confidently that no, their recent business dealings were going smoothly, and they had no conflicts with others. He couldn't understand why he was beaten for no reason. Hearing this, Ye Xi became more certain of her guess, and she felt cold all over. As if to confirm her guess, Chuntao suddenly came over and said that Liusu had come to visit again.

Ye Xi was shaking all over, her mind was blank, what should she do...

Chun Tao looked at Ye Xi's reaction and said anxiously, "Madam, that girl said that you left something with her last time, so she asked you to go out and get it, and she wants to give it to you personally."

Ye Xi came back to her senses at this point. The other party had guessed her attitude, so she could only bite the bullet and go out. She also told Chun Tao not to follow her and to go serve Pei Zhu while she went out to take a look first.

The door was open. Before she even got close, she saw Liusu standing outside the door. Liusu was also looking at her, but her complexion did not seem very good. She looked paler and more haggard than the last time they met. It was obvious that she was not in good health. She still wanted to harm her even in this state!

Liusu changed her previous attitude and bowed when she saw someone coming. She said, "Miss Ye, the master asked me to pick you up. You must come with me today, otherwise next time it won't just be a broken rib."

The other party did not hide what they had done. Ye Xi was so angry that her lips were shaking: "Are you so lawless?"

"Miss Ye, please think twice. If you can't even bear this, why do you have to force the master to take a step closer?" Liusu said lightly.

Ye Xi's blood instantly ran cold. The other party was right. Even if she could get justice in the end, they were now the meat on someone else's chopping board. It would be a loss to destroy their family.
