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

Ye Xi called Chuntao over and asked her to pack Pei Zhu's luggage first. Considering that Pei Zhu would stay in Beijing for two months and it would be autumn by then, she was worried that the weather in Beijing would get colder. It took her some effort to pack her things, and then she started to pack her own things. She was busy with these two things for the whole day.

Chuntao was naturally happy to hear that she could return to the Ye family. She was bought by Madam Ye to accompany Ye Xi when she was young. The Ye family treated her well. Her parents never came to see her after selling her, so she almost regarded the Ye family as her own family. However, she was also a little worried and asked Ye Xi: "Madam, although the master agreed, will we cause gossip if we go back like this?"

"Even if there are gossips, it doesn't matter what others say about others. It won't affect my happiness." Ye Xi said, but she was thinking that since Pei Zhu was away for a while, the beast would definitely not miss the opportunity. Instead of waiting here for him to come and threaten her, it would be better to escape. After returning to her parents' home, she had to think of a way to escape. She couldn't let others hold her like this all the time.

"By the way, I've been busy for so long that I almost forgot. You should find a messenger who specializes in going to Hangzhou and ask him to take the letter first and let my parents know that I am coming back to avoid any problems." Ye Xi remembered the letter she had written while Pei Zhu was taking a bath after she came back last night. She put it in a bamboo tube, covered it with a lid and sealed it with wax. This is the "mailbox" used for sending letters today. It has been called this in ancient times and is still in use today.

She had someone engrave the words "Ye's House on a Certain Street in Hangzhou" on the outside of the bamboo tube. Only the residences of prominent families or well-known local buildings are easy to find here. Ordinary people do not have detailed residential addresses, so it is inconvenient to communicate. Addresses like "a certain street and a certain house" are actually not easy to find, so based on previous communication experience, Ye Xi agreed with the Ye family on a special leaf pattern. Every time, she would find a messenger or a walking caravan and pay them to help deliver the letter. Every time, Ye Xi deliberately put the paper with the leaf pattern and the mailbox in a long cloth bag, and told the messenger to make sure that the other party showed the leaf pattern after finding the Ye's house, and confirmed that the two matched before handing over the mailbox. For so long, there has been no mistakes in communicating in this way.

Chuntao took the cloth bag containing the mailbox and went out, while Ye Xi continued to pack her bag. Pei Zhu came back before Chuntao, bringing a bodyguard to recognize her face, and explained the bodyguard's affairs to Ye Xi.

"I have just taken him and several bodyguards who will escort you back to the Chamber of Commerce to register. Just recognize this Brother Li, and he will bring people to pick you up when the time comes. I have only paid half of the reward, and you can pay the rest when you arrive at my father-in-law's house." Pei Zhu said.

Ye Xi greeted the other party, just to recognize his face. The other party asked Ye Xi when she wanted to leave, and Ye Xi decided to leave the next day after Pei Zhu left. After Li Baoshi left, Ye Xi curiously asked Pei Zhu why he had to register at the Chamber of Commerce.

Pei Zhu smiled and explained, "After all, it's two young ladies traveling together. It's not appropriate to leave them alone, but we can't let a wolf into the house. The escort agency has to do business after all. I'll take them all over to register. If you have any problems, you'll always know how to find them, and you'll have witnesses and evidence. For the sake of long-term business, they generally won't do anything to you, but you must be on guard."
