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

Ye Xi didn't actually need to go to the toilet, she just made an excuse. She didn't know how long the banquet would last, and she didn't want to go back so soon, so she told the maid that she wanted to get some fresh air here, and she knew the way and would go back to the main hall later. The maid hesitated for a moment, thinking that this was originally a place for entertaining guests, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Hearing Ye Xi say that she wanted to get some fresh air, she pointed Ye Xi in a direction, saying that if she walked along this road to the end, there would be a bamboo forest, which was very pleasing to the eye. It was a place where the young master specially entertained guests, and Ye Xi was allowed to walk there as a guest.

Ye Xi looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Since Yunmo Residence was so magnificent, she must think that the place the maid mentioned must be beautiful as well. She might as well go and take a look. So she accepted the maid's suggestion and walked in the direction she pointed.

When Ye Xi walked over, she realized that the maid was not good at giving directions. She encountered many forks along the way, but she thought that the maid probably wanted to express that she wanted to walk all the way along the main road, so she did not go to the forks. Sure enough, she guessed correctly. At the end of the main road was indeed a bamboo forest. It was called a bamboo forest, but in fact it was not just a bamboo forest. There were other garden arrangements that complemented the bamboo forest and were very pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xi sat down at the stone table in the bamboo forest, facing the sun, savoring the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, she thought, in fact, her and Pei Zhu's small courtyard is not bad, there are flowers and plants she planted in the courtyard, and there is also this warm sunshine above her head, so what is missing in her courtyard? She thought about it, it is also a set of tables and chairs. If a set of tables and chairs is added, then they can occasionally bask in the sun in the courtyard during the day and watch the moon together at night, but she gave up thinking that the courtyard is a bit narrow.

She spent a cup of tea in the bamboo forest like this, and then thought it would not be good to leave for too long, so she walked towards the main hall.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, Ye Xi forgot which way she came from. Because the bamboo forest was open, she only remembered the approximate direction she came in from. But there were three forks in the road when leaving from this direction. If she had looked back when she first came in, she would have remembered which road she came from. Now she didn't know which road to choose.

She hesitated for a moment, thinking about asking a servant. After all, the servants here must be more familiar with the road than she is. As a result, she looked left and right but couldn't see anyone. She called out softly a few times: "Excuse me, is anyone there?" After all, it was someone else's place, and shouting loudly was not a good idea, but no one responded to her.

Ye Xi simply walked based on her memory. If she took a wrong turn, she could just walk back. It was better than waiting for someone to pass by. So she chose a path she thought was right. She walked for a while and found that it was not a familiar path, which meant she must have taken a wrong turn. Then she walked back and returned to the fork in the road. Then she chose another path.

This time she felt that the road she chose should be the right one, because she felt that some places were similar to the previous road, so she walked deeper and deeper, but slowly she realized that something was wrong. Most of the scenery on this road was something she had never seen before, which meant that this road was also wrong, so she turned around and prepared to go back.

Suddenly she stopped because she stepped on a bulge on the ground. She looked down and saw a blue brick that was a little more prominent than the other bricks. From her direction, there was a pit in front of the raised blue brick closer to her. The pit was shallow. Ye Xi imagined that if one foot stepped on the brick and the pit at the same time, it would be very uncomfortable.

She didn't take it to heart and continued walking forward to leave. Suddenly, a light flashed across her mind and she stopped because she suddenly felt that the scene was familiar.
