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

After Pei Zhu and his wife returned to the Pei family, they were arranged to live in a guest room, not where they lived before, but he and Ye Xi didn't care. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family had a reunion dinner, and then Pei Zhu knew the reason why the Pei family allowed them to come back.

It turned out that Pei's mother had heard from somewhere that Pei Zhu had hooked up with the Yang family in Yangzhou, and knew that Pei Zhu's business had been flourishing in the past year. Her implicit meaning was that she hoped Pei Zhu would not be secretive and would bring his older brother Pei Lin along if he had the chance, and it would be best if he could also get some connection with the Yang family.

On such a great day, Pei Zhu naturally responded vaguely. Ye Xi ate in silence, but couldn't help complaining in his heart. At this time, he thought of Pei Zhu, and why the old man who needed help from others looked down on Pei Zhu. He felt sorry for Pei Zhu.

Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood, or maybe it was because he had already relieved last night. Although Pei Zhu drank a lot tonight, he fell asleep as soon as he returned to the guest room. After Ye Xi cleaned him up, they lay down and fell asleep together.

Pei Zhu slept restlessly tonight and kept saying that he felt uncomfortable. Ye Xi got up to feed him tea. She was in a hurry and couldn't find hangover tea, so she could only feed him some ordinary tea. But Pei Zhu was still not satisfied. Ye Xi asked where he felt uncomfortable, and Pei Zhu murmured that he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was very happy to receive the news from Pei's father asking him to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't expect that it was to pave the way for Pei Lin. He felt too uncomfortable to eat the reunion dinner tonight, and he was unhappy.

Ye Xi didn't know how to comfort Pei Zhu. Pei Zhu had just briefly told her about his past with the Pei family, but how could an outsider empathize with someone else's experience? If he didn't elaborate, she wouldn't ask. She felt uncomfortable listening to what Pei's mother said tonight, not to mention Pei Zhu, who was involved.

The next day, Pei's mother wanted Pei Zhu to stay for a few more days, implying that she wanted Pei Zhu not to rush back to Suzhou City, but to go to Yangzhou first and introduce Pei Lin to the Yang family before returning. Ye Xi was angry at her impatient face, but she had no right to speak.

Pei Zhu seemed to have expected this, and explained to Pei's mother that he had just visited Yangzhou before the festival, so it was inappropriate to visit so frequently, and he had business matters to deal with, which were related to the Yang family, so he had to handle the matter beautifully before he had the opportunity to visit the Yang family again, and then it would be the right time. This was watertight, and Pei's mother could not say anything else, so she could only let them leave.

Because of this, they could not stay at the Ye family for another night as originally planned. They could only go to the Ye family to pick up the remaining luggage and then say goodbye to the Ye family. Mrs. Ye cried more sadly than when she married her daughter, and Ye Xi couldn't help crying. Pei Zhu comforted her, saying that if she liked it, she could come back like this in the future.

It was another three-day trip, but this time everything went smoothly without any obstacles, and even accommodation was easily solved. Ye Xi felt that it turned out that having Pei Zhu around made her feel so safe.

After returning to Suzhou, when they opened the door of their home, they found that all the flowers and plants she had planted in the yard had died, and the only ones left were the weeds and wild flowers. Chuntao and Douzi started to clean up after they came back, sweeping the floor, cleaning the furniture, changing the bedding, etc.

Pei Zhu saw Ye Xi staring at the flowers and plants in the yard, thinking that she was reluctant to part with them, so he said, "My lady, don't feel sorry. Just buy some more and plant them. Sooner or later, they will be as beautiful as before."

Ye Xi shook her head and said, "It's not a pity. In fact, those flowers can't survive here. It's better to just grow these wild flowers and weeds. Anyway, it's all for the spring. Winter is coming soon, and even these flowers and weeds may not survive by then."
