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

Ye Xi didn't expect the other party to question her harshly, and she felt a little uneasy. But she thought, if she couldn't even face a yamen runner, how could she face the third-rank military minister? So she suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Brother, it's like this. I have a history with Xue... the guard. Please tell him that it's Miss Ye who's looking for him. If he refuses to see her, that's fine."

The guard's expression eased a little after hearing this. He thought that since a young lady dared to come to his house, she must have some history with Guard Xue, so he didn't dare to do anything too much. So he said, "It's not that I don't want to help, but Guard Xue left Hangzhou two days ago."

Ye Xi was stunned. Left?

"I wonder when he will come back?" She didn't dare to ask if Lord Wei was still there.

"No, they are only here to handle a case. They will naturally go back after the case is done."

What? Ye Xi felt like a bolt from the blue.

"I don't know, where are they going back to?"

When the yamen official heard this, he began to doubt whether Ye Xi really knew Xue Jiu. He looked him up and down and said impatiently: "Is this something a yamen runner can say? If you really have a past with Guard Xue, how could you not know about it? And you come to ask me? Are you up to something bad?" As he spoke, he gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, as if he would draw his sword if Ye Xi asked again.

Ye Xi took a few steps back in fear and said, "Sorry to bother you, big brother. I'll leave now." Then she picked up her skirt and ran away.

After returning to the Ye family, Ye Xi couldn't help but knock her head, thinking that she was really out of her mind at that time. She didn't seize the opportunity. Now she wanted to find someone, but he ran away. However, she remembered one thing. She asked Chuntao to go to the inn where Xue Jiu sent her back before to see if Xue Jiu would come to her to identify him again because he caught someone.

Chuntao went and came back, telling Ye Xi that the shopkeeper said no one came to look for them after they left. Ye Xi was relieved when she heard that. If the other party came to look for them and found that she had tricked them, she would have a hard time explaining it, not to mention that she would need help from others. But the current situation is not good either. She finally thought there was light at the end of the tunnel, and saw hope, but it ended before it even began. The world is so big, she doesn't know if she will have the chance to meet that Lord Wei again.

Ye Xin saw his sister who was originally excited to go shopping but now looked like a frozen eggplant after coming back. He wondered if she had encountered any difficulties, so he showed some concern. Unexpectedly, Ye Xi suddenly stared at him intently, suddenly hugged him tightly and said, "Brother, I only have you, I can only rely on you, you must make a name for yourself, you must."

Ye Xin was suddenly hugged so tightly by his sister that his face flushed. He didn't know why his sister said that. He panicked and his mind was not working. He realized that although they were siblings, there were still differences between men and women. He quickly pushed Ye Xi away and said, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you? Tell your brother."

Seeing Ye Xin's red face, Ye Xi suddenly remembered that even if he wanted his brother's help, he would have to have a say in the officialdom one day. Saying this too early might backfire. He quickly straightened his face and explained, "No one bullies me. I just can't bear to leave home soon."

Ye Xin laughed out of anger, poked Ye Xi's head with his finger and said, "Are you stupid? Girls have to get married eventually. For you, when your husband is away, you can still go back to your parents' home to enjoy the good life. You are the only one who doesn't have to serve your parents-in-law, so you should be content. I, your brother-in-law, am also a unique good man in the world."
