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

They walked through the yamen and came to a room with an open door. Ye Xi saw the layout inside through the open windows and door. There were rows of bookshelves on the walls on both sides, with many books on the shelves. There was also an antique shelf with some utensils placed on the door. There was a painting and calligraphy on the middle wall, and in front of the painting and calligraphy was a square table. Behind the square table was Wei Jue holding a pen and reading a book. From time to time, he wrote something, and it was unknown whether he was making comments or doing something else.

After they arrived at the door, Xue Jiu stopped and said to Wei Jue in the room: "Sir, the Madam is here."

Ye Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with the title "Madam" at first, but she always felt something was odd.

"Bring it in."

The tone is flat and emotionless.

"Hello, sir. I'm here. Please make arrangements." Ye Xi bowed and said after entering the room.

"No rush. I've asked the people in the prison to clean up first to avoid scaring the madam. I'll go over there after they come to inform her." Wei Jue said this without looking up and continued with what he was doing.

"Yes." Ye Xi said and then stood there waiting blankly.

Xue Jiu had already left. After a while, Wei Jue looked up and saw Ye Xi still standing there. He frowned and said, "Madam, please sit down and wait."

Ye Xi felt very embarrassed just now. Xue Jiu had left, and Wei Jue had ignored her just now. She didn't know how to get along with people in the officialdom. She didn't know how powerful the other party was. She was afraid that she would do something out of line and make the other party unhappy, so she simply did nothing. Now that she heard the other party ask her to sit down, she quickly found a stool and sat down, sitting upright, waiting.

After finishing her greetings, Ye Xi took off her veil. She didn't know how it was in ancient times, but in modern times, people should take off their hats when entering a room or talking to others, especially elders, in serious occasions. She hesitated for a moment whether to take off her veil, thinking that this would violate her original intention. When she was hesitating, she saw that Wei Jue didn't look up and didn't seem to pay much attention to her, so she didn't hesitate. The other party promised to keep it a secret for her, so he shouldn't embarrass her because of this.

After Ye Xi sat down, she saw Wei Jue still busy at work. He lowered his head and waved the brush in his hand, with a serious expression. The sunlight from outside shone in and sprinkled on the ground. Some of the sunlight was reflected on the man who was working seriously, making him look as if he was covered with a layer of light, looking extremely sacred. Ye Xi envied him. Every move of this adult revealed the elegance engraved in his bones. He was obviously a gentleman of noble birth.

Suddenly, the other party paused, raised his eyes and glanced at her. Ye Xi quickly shifted her gaze and her face turned red. She was caught peeping. In modern times, this is a serious matter, not to mention in ancient times. Others might think that she was a frivolous person.

After this, she didn't dare to sneak a peek at him anymore and started to observe the surroundings. This was an ancient government office, so she had to take a good look at what it looked like. It turned out that most of the bookshelves were filled with cases, and there were some words written on the spines of the books, which were mainly used to distinguish the contents of the cases. The antique shelves were filled with vases, wood carvings, etc. It turned out that there was a plaque hanging on the wall of calligraphy and painting, with four words written on it, but she only recognized one. This cursive writing really made her unable to read.

After watching it, she sat there for a long time. She couldn't help but think that since the place was not ready, why did she come so early? It would be embarrassing to just wait. It would be better to let her sleep at home for a while. She couldn't help but sneak a glance at the tall man, and their eyes met directly.
