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

She didn't know whether such a result would make Wei Jue's job more difficult, but this was no longer within her consideration. She suddenly regretted agreeing to help today.

"It's okay. I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam. I think you're frightened. I'll let Xue Jiu take you home first." Wei Jue said with a rare gentle tone.

"No, I can go back by myself." Ye Xi refused subconsciously, because she didn't want them to know where she lived. She didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. What if they caught someone again next time and came to her house, wouldn't she have to go through what happened today again?

"Xue Jiu, send the lady back." Wei Jue ignored Ye Xi's refusal and gave the order directly.

"Yes, ma'am, please come in." Xue Jiu received the order and said to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi felt that Wei Jue was really overbearing and unreasonable, but after thinking about it, she asked Xue Jiu to take her to the inn opened by Chun Tao, where she needed to change clothes. This would also be considered as completing what Wei Jue had asked her to do.

"Thank you very much."

Standing in front of the gate of the Lotus Inn, Ye Xi said that she had arrived. Xue Jiu looked at the inn in front of him and asked curiously, "Madam, do you live here?"

"Of course, my maid is still waiting for me inside."

"Then let's send Madam to the side room first." Xue Jiu insisted.

Ye Xi was sweating profusely, she had never thought that this would happen, and she didn't know which room Chun Tao would get. Now she was exposed, and she was thinking about how to explain it later.

"lady?"

Suddenly, Chun Tao's voice came from the gate, and then Chun Tao was seen standing at the gate. After she called out, she seemed to be sure it was Ye Xi, and a smile appeared on her face. She ran over and said, "Madam, you are back."

Ye Xi's tense heart finally settled down, and then she said, "Yes, it was this Master Xue who sent me back."

Chun Tao turned to look at Xue Jiu and said, "How are you, Master Xue?"

Xue Jiu was at a loss for a moment, and explained: "You don't have to call me Master, I'm just your bodyguard, just call me Xue Jiu."

Ye Xi felt that she definitely couldn't call him that, so she said, "Thank you, Master Xue. I'm here now, so I won't bother you to take me in."

Xue Jiu glanced at Chun Tao, then bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave. Madam, you have worked hard today. Please have a good rest." After that, he left.

After watching the people leave, Ye Xi and Chun Tao went into the inn and hurried back to their room. Ye Xi asked Chun Tao to get her a pot of tea, as she felt thirsty. While Chun Tao went to get the water, Ye Xi changed her clothes in the room and put on the clothes she wore today. After Chun Tao came back, Ye Xi drank a few cups of tea and asked, "How did you know I was back?"

"I didn't know. Madam, you've been out for too long. I was worried that something might happen to you. I couldn't wait in the room, so I waited in the lobby. When you were talking outside the door, I happened to be sitting near the door and heard your voice, so I went out to see. I didn't expect it was really Madam."

Chuntao wanted to go out to look for someone, but after thinking about it, she realized that Ye Xi was going to the government office, so it shouldn't be a problem. It could be that the case was too complicated, which delayed her time. Besides, if something really happened in the government office, what else could she do? So she decided to wait patiently.

"So that's how it is. You really showed up just in time." Ye Xi was so moved that she almost cried.

"Miss, shall we go back?" Chuntao thought that they had been out for most of the day and it was time to go back.

"Don't worry, I'm worried that he hasn't gone far. Let's sit for a while, and then we'll go together, go to the bookstore first, and then we'll go home."
