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

"Don't be afraid. Business matters have been almost sorted out. Once Xi Niang gets pregnant, your husband will try his best to stay at home with you until you give birth." Pei Zhu comforted her.

"Okay." Ye Xi withdrew her thoughts. She must find a way to escape from the control of the nobleman.

Pei Zhu found that since he proposed to have a child last night, Ye Xi's face has not been very good today, and the whole person looks depressed. He guessed that Ye Xi might not be able to accept it for a while, so he took advantage of Ye Xi taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard to hug her from behind and said, "If Xi Niang feels it is not appropriate, then don't have a child for the time being. It's rare for me to go home, Xi Niang should be happy."

Ye Xi then realized that Pei Zhu had misunderstood her. She turned around and looked at Pei Zhu, and quickly explained: "That's not the case. I also want a child, but I'm afraid of the pain of giving birth. My husband, please don't think too much."

"Really?" Pei Zhu's eyebrows raised with joy, his eyes sparkling. God knows he didn't sleep well last night. When he saw Ye Xi's face this morning, his heart sank. Now he was very happy to hear Ye Xi's explanation.

Ye Xi couldn't help but laugh at him: "Of course it's true. Who doesn't want to have both a son and a daughter? But giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. It's normal to worry."

Pei Zhu frowned after hearing this and thought for a while: "Then we only want one son and one daughter, and then we don't want any more, okay?"

He originally wanted to have more children, after all, more children would make the family more lively. Although he had brothers, he was not the legitimate son, and his legitimate mother did not like his mother and was worried that he would fight for the family property, so he did not experience the so-called brotherly love. He hoped that his children would come from only one mother and love each other, so as to make up for his regrets.

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, thinking that most men of this era hope to have many children and grandchildren. The more children, the better. The poorer the family, the more they like to have children. Her father was an exception. He only had her mother all his life, and he only gave birth to her and her brother. He was a model of unwavering love. Now, has she also met a good man like her father? She smiled and nodded.

Pei Zhu thought she would not agree, but she actually agreed. He hoped that the boy would look like him and the daughter would look like her, so that his life would be complete.

"Young Master, the servant from the Yang Mansion is outside asking for a meeting and has handed in another invitation card." Douzi said, holding the invitation card.

Pei Zhu took the post, opened it and read it carefully.

"Is he thinking of coming home again?" Ye Xi asked after a long while, feeling uneasy.

"No, he invited us to his house for a banquet." After reading it, Pei Zhu took out some small change and handed it to Douzi, saying, "Go and tell the servant that I will go as scheduled. Give this money to him and let him have a good meal to thank him for coming."

"Yes." Douzi took the silver and left.

"We? Should I go too? To Yangzhou?" Ye Xi was a little annoyed. Why did he always bring her along? She was a woman and didn't understand business, so why did he always have to accompany him?

"You have to go too, but you don't have to go to Yangzhou. Young Master Yang has also bought a house in Suzhou, which is as grand as the Yang House in Yangzhou." Pei Zhu lamented that he didn't know when he could earn enough to own a house like that.

Yang Jian actually bought a house in Suzhou? Didn't he say before that he had no business in Suzhou? Why did he go to such great lengths to buy a house in Suzhou? A sense of uneasiness lingered in her heart. After all, when she eavesdropped, the maids mentioned that Yang Jian was a good woman.
