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

Chapter 22

Ye Xi was pushed so hard that she could not see, but she knew that they must have moved to another room. She felt uneasy. Since the other party did not intend to kill her, why did he meet her? Did he want to use another method to force a confession? Ye Xi could not help but tremble when she thought of this possibility. In this case, changing the method to force a confession would only be more cruel.

Not only the woman, but also another person in the room noticed that Ye Xi's body was shaking. The woman saw that her master was staring at her expressionlessly and did not lip-sync to her. She was not sure what her master meant, but she still forced Ye Xi to kneel down in front of her master. She also saluted her master, then stood behind Ye Xi, waiting for her master's signal.

The room was quiet for a while. Ye Xi was unsure of the other person's thoughts, so even though she couldn't see him, she decided to speak first.

"This... noble lady, I really didn't pick up anything. This might be a misunderstanding. Maybe the item fell somewhere else. Please spare me." Ye Xi paused as she spoke. She couldn't follow the woman and call the other person "master". She wanted to call him "young master", but then she thought that the other person might not be a man, so it was generally appropriate to call him "noble lady". Her voice was a little nasal, as if she was about to cry.

The room fell silent again. Ye Xi didn't hear any movement, and she became more and more panicked. Could it be that...

"The master said he believes you."

Ye Xi was ecstatic. Finally, there was someone who was reasonable. But the thought came up and then died. Could it be so easy to cover up such a mess? Could it be that he was deceiving her and then killing her to silence her? Ye Xi suddenly couldn't help but tremble again.

"But the master said that today's incident cannot be leaked, so I have to ask the lady for evidence."

Ye Xi was stunned, and asked anxiously: "I wonder what the handle is?"

"No hurry, Madam will know later, I will take my leave now."

When Ye Xi heard this, her face turned pale. She knew that things would not be that simple, but what should she do after this woman left.

Not long after the woman finished speaking, Ye Xi heard the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then the sound of the door opening and closing. After hearing the door being closed, Ye Xi's face turned even paler. Did the woman leave? Was she going to get something? Poison? She couldn't help but think of the scenes in martial arts dramas where the villains gave others poison and antidotes regularly in order to control them.

Then, she heard heavy footsteps beside her, and her heart tightened. Then her arm was grabbed by someone, and the whole person was lifted up. It hurt! I don't know if the other party did it on purpose, but the place where her arm was grabbed was very painful. She took a breath of cold air. What was he doing? And the other person gave her the feeling of a man.

"My Lord, what do you mean?" Ye Xi asked tremblingly. With such strength, she knew that the person next to her must be a man. The other party was coming aggressively again, and she was terrified.

However, the other party did not answer, but dragged her a few steps away. Ye Xi was terrified and shouted, "Please spare my life, please spare my life!" At this moment, she thought that she would eat any poison as long as she could save her life.

Suddenly, her wrists that were tied behind her back loosened, and her heart immediately relaxed. She felt that the silk handkerchief had completely left her hands. She remembered that she could not see the other person's face, so she did not think about removing the silk handkerchief from her eyes. She subconsciously put her hands back in front of her and wanted to touch her wrists. As a result, as soon as her hands touched each other, they were captured by a pair of big hands, and the silk handkerchief was wrapped around them again.
