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

Pei Zhu smiled and said, "It's still early for winter, you can still enjoy them. You can go ahead and prepare winter clothes and charcoal for the New Year. We don't need that few taels of silver now."

After hearing this, Ye Xi stared at Pei Zhu and said, "Oh, my husband is so arrogant, saying that our family is not short of money?"

Pei Zhu heard Ye Xi's teasing intention, blushed, and said: "My husband never said that he didn't need money, he just said that he didn't need those few taels of silver."

"I don't care, I just don't need it." Ye Xi hugged Pei Zhu and acted coquettishly. Pei Zhu glanced at Chuntao and Douzi who were covering their mouths and laughing, and hugged Ye Xi back helplessly.

Ye Xi had been away from Suzhou City for several months, and a lot of things were waiting for her when she came back. Pei Zhu went to the capital, and when he came back he also had to deal with various accumulated things. For a while, both of them were very busy.

Ye Xi and Chun Tao were busy running around, preparing for the coming of winter, and on the way they heard people talking about the Minister of War suppressing bandits in Hangzhou. Upon hearing this, Ye Xi asked Chun Tao to go and inquire about it. Chun Tao was quite smart and went there and told them the result after returning.

Some people praised the military assistant minister for his wisdom and bravery, but some questioned why he had to go all the way to Hangzhou to suppress bandits. Wasn't Suzhou enough for him to play with? Then some people speculated that he seemed to have been to this area before he was transferred to Suzhou, where he encountered an assassin and was injured, so after being transferred here, he went to suppress bandits first to vent his anger.

Ye Xi suddenly realized that various signs showed that Wei Jue should be the Minister of War more than a year ago, otherwise it would be hard to explain why he suddenly went to Hangzhou City to suppress bandits.

Ye Xi recalled that what happened to her this time was also related to the assassin. She had previously thought that the person who insulted her was the assassin, but later denied this idea because of the other party's elegance. She thought that the assassin must be instructed by the other party, so there must be a close relationship between the assassin and Yang Jian. If it is really as she guessed, will the other party let her live after losing interest in her? No matter what the reason is, she should give it a try.

Yang Jian told her before that the assassin had not been caught, and now it seems to be true, otherwise it cannot explain Wei Jue's behavior. Although it is said that a new official has three fires to start with, even if he wants to make meritorious deeds, he is not in a hurry at this time, but this relationship makes it understandable.

Ye Xi was excited about her discovery. She had been unable to get close to Yang Jian and could only look for loopholes in his business. Unexpectedly, she not only had the other party's loopholes in her hands, but also had the other party's "handle", although this was unconfirmed and only a guess. However, the most troublesome thing was the reason why the other party came to her in the first place, that is, what the so-called "object" was. She still didn't know. The main reason was that the other party never mentioned this in front of her again. There were two possibilities: either the other party believed what she said very much, or the other party had found the thing.

Ye Xi became more determined to seek help from Wei Jue. She never expected that things would turn around and she thought she had missed it, but the other party was right under her nose. How could she let go of such good luck?

Ye Xi was extremely excited and wanted to go find Wei Jue immediately, but she restrained herself. She couldn't be so reckless and had to prepare. After she went back, she counted the silver in her hand. There was not much silver left, but Pei Zhu gave her several more silver notes because he wanted her to prepare well for the winter.
