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

Chapter 340

But his thoughts were shattered by Xue Jiu's next words.

"My Lord invites you to come with him. He said that your Zhiwei Restaurant and Xinwei Restaurant should also expand their stores."

Xue Jiu hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to express it in a tactful way or say it directly.

In the end, he felt that the adult's original words were better, so he chose the adult's original words.

But Ye Xi was very angry about this. Wasn't it just using her career as an excuse to warm his bed? Shameless!

Xue Jiu didn't know what Ye Xi was thinking, and secretly thought that his behavior was a bit clever, as it would not offend either the adults or Ye Xi.

"When will your Excellency set off?"

Xue Jiu was delighted when he heard this: "Three days later, because the mission is urgent, there is not much time to prepare. Three days is the limit."

Ye Xi was too lazy to even pretend: "Go back and tell the master that I will be unwell in three days and cannot accept his invitation. Let him find someone else."

"..."

What's the difference between this and asking him to go back and die? Xue Jiu was embarrassed, and then used the excuse prepared for him by the adults.

"Miss Ye, the master has something else for me to tell you."

Ye Xi didn't care at all. What could Wei Jue say? He was just using Pei Zhu to threaten her. There was nothing new about it.

Unexpectedly, the reason Xue Jiu gave this time was not only thoughtful, but also a bombshell.

"My Lord said that if Miss Ye doesn't want Ye Siyu's background to be exposed, it would be better for her to cooperate."

What?! What did she hear?

"You, you said...what did you just say?"

Ye Xi looked at Xue Jiu in disbelief, and even spoke incoherently.

She hoped she was hallucinating.

Xue Jiu sighed and said that adults were still better.

Not only did he guess that Ye Xi would refuse, he also guessed what reason could convince her. He is indeed an old fox.

Of course, he only dared to think the last sentence in his mind. If he said it out loud, he would be beaten by the adults for fear.

Xue Jiu repeated: "Miss Ye, you heard it right, the master has something on Ye Siyu."

I asked you to repeat but not to interpret. Ye Xi was furious!

After a long silence, he managed to utter, "Where will we meet in three days?"

Seeing that Ye Xi finally did what the master wished, Xue Jiu felt relieved: "At the city gate, the master also gave instructions..."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Xi immediately looked at him nervously, afraid that he would say something she didn't want to hear.

Seeing Ye Xi like this, Xue Jiu felt a little sorry for her. He really wanted to tell her: Don’t be nervous, the adults don’t mean to do anything bad.

"My Lord said that since this trip is to provide disaster relief, he hopes Miss Ye can help. It would be best if you can prepare some food and send it over."

The imperial court had just finished a war, and the Great Zhou experienced a drought. The national treasury was temporarily unable to provide much silver and grain for disaster relief.

The purpose of his Excellency's trip is to collect money or food from major families and merchants to send to the disaster area. As Miss Ye is now a famous merchant, how could she let go?

Xue Jiu had to admire the adult's good calculations. Not only did he target Miss Ye's people, he also had his eyes on her money.

In my heart, I still admire the adult's shamelessness. If he were him, he would never do this to his beloved girl and would be despised.

Wei Jue sneezed a few times at this time. He thought Ye Xi was scolding him. After all, his request this time was a bit excessive.

However, she still did not change her original intention, because he no longer had any image in her heart anyway.
