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

Chapter 160

Wei Jue was in a bad mood because of this incident. He didn't enter Ye Xi's yard in the past few days, and Ye Xi didn't pay any attention to him.

One day, Ye Xi was wondering whether Wei Jue’s method required him to wait until the scapegoat was executed before releasing him.

Now that there is still some time before autumn, she began to worry about Pei Zhu's situation again.

But then she changed her mind and thought that Pei Zhu was in good health now and was in that situation, so it might be a good thing to let him take a lot of good medicine and supplements, so she waited patiently.

Things took a turn for the better a month later, when Wei Jue was sitting in her yard and staring at her with burning eyes.

Ye Xi felt a little uncomfortable with that gaze. Normally, when he looked at her like that, he wasn't thinking about anything serious, but the result was far beyond her expectations.

"Xi Niang, get ready. We are going to attend a friend's wedding in two days." Wei Jue actually said so.

"I don't know your friend, so I won't go."

Ye Xi didn't want to get involved in his social circle. She felt disgusted when she thought that the people in his circle were the same kind of people as him.

"I'm not discussing this with you. Liusu, you have to give her some good advice in the next two days. Don't embarrass me when the time comes."

"Yes." Liusu took over the words respectfully.

Seeing Wei Jue being so strong, Ye Xi obeyed him. However, she had to go there for a meal, and she would have to eat a piece of meat, so there was no need to provoke him.

On the day of the banquet, she was stunned when she was helped down from the carriage. She thought that all of Wei Jue’s friends must be from wealthy and powerful families, but she didn’t expect that there would be such a... simple family?

She didn't ask any questions and just followed Wei Jue in.

As soon as I entered, I saw someone I hadn’t seen for a long time—Yang Jian.

She didn't expect that he was there too. Could he be their mutual friend?

Yang Jian naturally wanted to say hello to Wei Jue, but the people here didn't seem to know Wei Jue. They were very familiar with Yang Jian, and many people came to say hello to Yang Jian.

Wei Jue said nothing about it, and didn't seem to mind the people here's neglect of him.

Wei Jue generously asked Xue Jiu to give him a silver note as a gift. Xue Jiu placed it directly on the table without even registering his name on it.

The banquet was about to start, and the groom who went to pick up the bride came back. Ye Xi was curious about what kind of person the groom was that could attract someone like Wei Jue to attend the wedding banquet.

When she heard someone outside the door shouting that the groom had returned to pick up the bride, she looked up towards the door.

But when the groom in red appeared, she froze with a look of disbelief on her face.

How come this groom looks exactly like Pei Zhu?

She thought she was dazzled at first glance, so she rubbed her eyes and looked again, but it was still the same. She rubbed them again and looked again...

After a few times she stopped and accepted the appearance of the face.

But she didn't think it was Pei Zhu himself. After all, how could anyone believe that a sentenced person would appear at a wedding.

"This groom is so handsome, and the bride is so lucky."

"That's right. As the saying goes, those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. This groom has finally found happiness after all the misfortunes."

"Why?"

"Brother Liang, you may not know this, but this groom was falsely accused of murder and was sentenced to be executed in the autumn.

As a result, the situation took a surprising turn. The person who was claimed to have been killed actually returned safe and sound. Everyone then realized that there had been a misunderstanding.

Then the groom's family quickly took the man to the government office to appeal for justice, and after some twists and turns, he was finally vindicated.

After the court investigated the matter, it gave the groom a sum of compensation. Not long after he was released, he married Elder Wu’s daughter. Isn’t this a blessing for the future? "

"I see."
