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

Chapter 147

“I heard that someone sued my brother-in-law for murder for money while doing business, and then he escaped and was caught recently.

The Pei family in Hangzhou City was worried about getting into trouble so they quickly drew a line in the sand, not to mention seeking justice for him.

His uncle in Suzhou City also went there a few times like us, but I heard that they couldn’t even get into the prefectural government office.”

Ye Xin gave a brief account of the matter.

"Sister, it's your turn. Why are you like this? Why are you like this today?" Ye Xin really couldn't help it.

"He fell in love with other girls and ignored me, so I had a conflict with him.

I didn’t want to stay with him anymore, but he wouldn’t let me go home, so I had to run away secretly.”

Ye Xi made up a lie and put the blame on Wei Jue. She didn't dare to tell the truth.

But Ye Xin believed it. He thought that Wei Jue had a conflict with Ye Xi because he fell in love with another girl when he was away from home.

"then you……"

"Brother Xue, this is the room. I saw him go in and he didn't come out for a long time." A stranger's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Brother Xue? Could it be Xue Jiu?

Ye Xi panicked, and in a flash, the two siblings reacted and closed the windows on their side at the same time.

The door was kicked open, and the person standing at the door was indeed Xue Jiu.

After closing the window, Ye Xin turned around and picked up the book and pretended to be serious. After the door was kicked open, he looked at Xue Jiu in surprise.

"Mr. Ye, why are you here?" Xue Jiu looked around the room sharply and found that there was no one else.

However, he was still worried, so he signaled to his companion with his eyes, and his companion went in and searched all the places where people could hide, such as the closet and under the bed.

"What are you doing?" Ye Xin pretended to be confused.

"Brother Xue, no."

"Not here either."

The companions reported the results of their searches one after another.

"Mr. Ye, you haven't explained why you are here?" Xue Jiu asked Ye Xin.

"I, I've been a little tired from reading lately, so I came here to take a break, thinking that a change of environment might be better."

Ye Xin started to talk nonsense, but then he changed his mind and realized that he hadn't done anything wrong. Instead, the other party was treating his sister badly, but he still forced him to stay. How could this be justified?

However, the situation is stronger than the person. After all, the other party is a high-ranking official, so he still has to be humble.

"..." Xue Jiu was silent. He noticed that the window behind Ye Xin was not closed tightly, leaving a small gap.

The location of this guest room is actually very bad. It is in the middle of the house and has only one window and one door.

The window is next to another house, and even if there is an aisle between the two houses, it is only wide enough for two people. Such a window can only be used for ventilation at most.

But in this season, it makes no difference whether the door is open or not. But Ye Xin came here inexplicably and opened a window that didn't make much sense.

As the saying goes, abnormality is a sign of evil. Xue Jiu felt that there must be something fishy behind that window, so he strode forward and pushed away Ye Xin who was leaning towards him.

He pushed the window open, stuck his head out, and saw the window diagonally opposite. He guessed it in an instant.

So he yelled to his companions behind him: "Quick, go to the next room and stop everyone inside!"

When the person behind him heard this, although he was confused, he reacted quickly. He ran downstairs and blocked the door of the bookstore next door, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

As soon as Ye Xi closed the window, he knew that something was wrong. Although he didn't know whether the "Brother Xue" was Xue Jiu, it proved one thing whether he was or not - someone was monitoring Ye Xin.

And these people were most likely arranged by Wei Jue, so she ran away, and after leaving the bookstore, she returned to the inn where she was staying.
