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

Chapter 320

Ye Xi then asked his subordinates to inquire about Wei Jue's transfer to a local position.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The person who inquired for the news said that Wei Jue was supposed to stay in Suzhou City, but he chose to settle down in the government office in Hangzhou City, and it seemed that he planned to stay there permanently.

Ye Xi asked the other party why he changed his mind, but the people below couldn't find out.

She was happy about Wei Ye's appearance, as she thought she would never see that child in her lifetime.

But she was terrified by Wei Jue's appearance, especially when she saw the safety rope on his wrist. She always felt that he had bad intentions.

Pei Zhu will soon be out of mourning, and their marriage can be put on the agenda. She doesn't want any accidents to happen at this time.

Today was the day she and Pei Zhu had agreed to meet at the new house. They had been meeting like this for the past two years.

Generally, both of them will bring their children with them, hoping that the children will get familiar with the environment in advance so that it will be easier for them to live together in the future.

Ye Xi took Siyu down from the carriage and walked forward to knock on the door. She asked a middle-aged woman to look after the new house.

The woman's name was Li Niang. She had suffered inhuman torture when she was young and her voice had been poisoned and made hoarse.

He was driven out when he got older. When he was about to freeze to death on the street, he was rescued by Ye Xi and wanted to commit suicide. However, Ye Xi persuaded him to stay and look after her house.

The door was opened. Li Niang was very happy to see Ye Xi and Si Yu. She made way for them to go in and then closed the door.

She started to "point fingers" at Ye Xi, and Ye Xi understood that what she meant was to make delicious food for them.

Li Niang could neither speak nor write, so Ye Xi taught her some simple sign language so that they could communicate in daily life.

Li Niang actually guards two houses.

Ye Xi felt that if the two of them often went in and out of the same house, it would definitely attract the attention of the neighbors.

To prevent gossip, she bought the house next door and opened a door in the wall to connect the two houses.

The gates of the two houses are not on the same street. At first glance, outsiders would think that they are two houses far apart.

This way, others would not suspect that the two were having a tryst.

Ye Xi knew that Li Niang would prepare a table full of delicious food every time she came, which was not surprising at all, but she still wanted to wait for Pei Zhu to come over so that they could enjoy it together.

After waiting for a long time, there was a knock on the connecting door. Li Niang went to open the door and Ye Xi was waiting in the hall.

Soon, Pei Zhu and his son Pei Ming appeared before them.

When Ye Xi saw the two of them, her worries were swept away. She hadn't seen Pei Zhu for some time.

Because the two of them could not get married in recent years, Pei Zhu seemed to focus on running the cloth shop.

The two cloth shops are still the same. Pei Zhu is different from the reckless person he was when he was young. He does not pursue the expansion of his career, but the improvement of his career.

His two stores, one high-end and the other ordinary, are both precisely managed based on the needs of their target customers.

Although he couldn't make a lot of money, he did make a lot of small amounts of money. The main reason was that Pei Zhu was not picky about his customers, and his service-first attitude made him have many repeat customers.

Pei Zhu went out of town some time ago because he wanted to purchase some fashionable materials, so Ye Xi missed him very much.

"Xi Niang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time!" Pei Zhu smiled when he saw Ye Xi.

"Aunt." Pei Ming hadn't seen Ye Xi for a long time.

As soon as he saw Ye Xi, he immediately shook off Pei Zhu's hand, and rushed out like a cannonball, pounced on Ye Xi.
