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

She looked at other places in the room. It was almost empty. The doors and windows around were indeed covered with thick cloth. There was only a thick screen. There were six panels in total, covered with thick cloth, forming a closed space. The outside of the screen was embossed with auspicious birds and beasts.

Every time she was taken to the nobleman's house, she could only stay behind the screen. She was not allowed to walk out of the screen without being blindfolded, so she had no idea whether this screen was the one she had seen before. To confirm, she found the place where the screen could be opened and closed, and looked inside. It was very dark. She pulled open a certain part of the movable screen and looked at some of the patterns inside the screen with the light from the glazed tiles. There were differences in the patterns inside and outside the screen, but she was very familiar with the patterns inside.

At this moment, her heart felt like it was being hammered. She found it hard to believe this fact, but she felt it made sense. This could explain why Yang Jian liked Pei Zhu and helped her career to move to a higher level, because this was the reward for the "price" she paid!

Ye Xi was shaking with anger, but she still calmed herself down. She couldn't panic at this moment. Since she already knew some things, she could think of solutions later. What she had to do now was to leave here safely.

She restored everything to its "original state" and quietly left the room. In fact, there was another wing room, which was conclusive evidence, but it seemed unnecessary. She quickly left this place, left the blue brick road she was "familiar with", and then started to find her way back on another road.

"Mrs. Pei, so you are here. Master Pei asked me to look for you." A maid appeared from somewhere and came up to Ye Xi and said.

"I'm sorry, I just came out of the bamboo forest and got lost. I haven't found the way yet." Ye Xi was quite frightened and his face didn't look very good.

"I guess Madam has been looking for you for a long time. You don't look well. Let me help you walk." The maid was very enthusiastic.

"Thank you." Ye Xi did not refuse. After all, her hands and feet were indeed weak.

Ye Xi returned to the banquet. There were singing girls performing songs and dances. The men seemed to no longer talk about business matters. They were enjoying the songs and dances and occasionally making comments. Pei Zhu had just asked the maids in Yang's house to help find someone. When he saw Ye Xi coming back, his tense expression relaxed a lot. After helping Ye Xi sit down, he found that Ye Xi's face was not very good, so he couldn't help but show some concern.

At this moment, Ye Xi had no intention of listening to Pei Zhu's words. She just casually replied that she was fine, then picked up the cup and took a few sips of tea before relaxing. Her eyes wandered around unconsciously, and her body suddenly stiffened. Her eyes met Yang Jian's.

When meeting Yang Jian's eyes, what arose in Ye Xi's heart was not fear, but anger. She felt that the other party was extremely shameless. Suddenly, she froze again. She realized that her face was probably very distorted at this moment. She had to stay calm and not let the other party find out that she already knew the secret. So she quickly looked away and whispered to Pei Zhu.

Yang Jian was glared at by Ye Xi, and he was very puzzled. Is the young lady angry? And the object of her anger seems to be him. This makes him have to investigate. Something must have happened during the time she was away. Yang Jian made a note of this matter.

Ever since Ye Xi discovered the secret of the Yang Mansion, she couldn't wait to leave and wished she could fly away.
