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

Because of Pei Zhu's busyness, he paid less attention to Ye Xi. If it was Ye Xi in the past, she would definitely be dissatisfied if Pei Zhu neglected her like this, but because she was tormented by the nobleman during this period, she was even glad that Pei Zhu was busy and didn't notice her abnormality.

Ye Xi has been very anxious recently because the nobleman has been summoning her too frequently. At first, the nobleman would summon her once every one or two months, or even a month, but recently, the nobleman seemed to have a lot of free time, summoning her almost every three or five days. Fortunately, Pei Zhu has been busy in Yangzhou, otherwise she would have been exposed long ago.

This was not a sign that she was getting tired of it. She felt that she could not accept such a frequency, so when Liusu told her recently that she was going to pick her up, she refused.

Liusu tried to persuade her, but Ye Xi still firmly refused. It might be because the look Liusu gave her before leaving made her feel inexplicably flustered. She always felt that the look contained something unknown, and because of the unknown, it seemed even more deep and terrifying, as if there was a dark road in front of her. She knew that there must be something like a beast hidden in the darkness, waiting for her to tear her into pieces with sharp claws. Liusu was like someone who came out of the darkness and told her that there were things in the darkness that were more terrifying than she had imagined. For example, there were not only wild tigers and beasts hidden there, but also demons and monsters from the underworld.

She waited anxiously for Liusu's news, like a prisoner waiting for the death sentence. In fact, being sentenced to death is not terrible, but the psychological torment during the waiting period is terrible, otherwise how could there be the saying "early death means early reincarnation". In fact, Ye Xi's statement was already euphemistic, because she originally wanted to say that she had broken up with the noble, but thinking of the other party's recent frequent actions, she didn't dare to do so, for fear of angering the other party directly and getting into trouble, so she chose a more roundabout way.

Ye Xi didn't wait for Liusu's reply, but received the news that Pei Zhu had returned to Suzhou City. Pei Zhu had been busy for a year and finally arranged all the business matters. He missed Ye Xi and felt that he had treated Ye Xi badly during this period. As soon as he finished his work, he rushed back to Suzhou City without stopping. Ye Xi was surprised and frightened. She was happy that Pei Zhu finally came back. She hadn't seen him for a long time. She was frightened because she was worried that the matter would be exposed when Liusu came to find her.

"Xi Niang, look, this is the gift I bought for you, do you like it?" Pei Zhu took out a white jade hairpin. The hairpin was not completely white, but mixed with some green. It was not top quality in terms of the quality of white jade, but it was very much to Ye Xi's liking. Ye Xi felt that the green on it was the unique texture of the white jade hairpin. She took the hairpin and looked at it carefully for a long time. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. The corners of her mouth were raised. This joy threw away all the worries she had before.

Pei Zhu knew that Ye Xi liked it very much, so he didn't say anything, but just stared at Ye Xi's face stupidly. Ye Xi felt Pei Zhu's gaze, and when she raised her eyes, she felt very embarrassed. She was just looking at the hairpin, so she quickly explained: "I like it very much, thank you husband."

Pei Zhu was also very happy when he saw this. He quickly took the hairpin and said, "Come, let me put it on for you." As he said that, he put the hairpin on Ye Xi's hair and carefully adjusted the position.
