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

Chapter 157

Pei Zhu, who was in the yard, heard her voice, but he only heard a girl shouting, and he couldn't hear clearly what she said because of the distance.

It has been quite a while since he was moved here, but he seemed to have never heard a woman's voice. Except for the doctors who came in and out at the beginning, the rest were guards.

In fact, he was full of confusion when he was inexplicably arrested that day. When he learned that he was transferred to Suzhou City, he had a bad guess.

When Wei Jue himself appeared in front of him, he finally confirmed his guess.

Ye Xi really ran away as she said.

He always thought she was just talking. Even if she really had that idea in the beginning, after staying in the backyard of a third-rank official, she would see all kinds of wealth and glory, and it would be natural for her not to want to leave.

But what surprised him even more was that the instigator was actually a distinguished nobleman. That day was the first time he met Wei Jue in person.

Even in this situation, Ye Xi still escaped, which shows that she was not blinded by wealth.

He was so lucky that a girl with such a character was once his wife, but unfortunately, fate was not on his side.

Wei Jue's torture allowed him to confirm two pieces of information. One was that Ye Xi not only escaped successfully, but also did not leave any traceable clues, so the other party came to him.

One is that the other party really cares about Ye Xi. He had set such a big trap for her before, and now he has framed him with such a serious crime for her.

Men understand men best. He can see that Wei Jue cares about Ye Xi very much. No matter what happens in the future, at least it is like this for now.

He was angry to see that another man not only took over his wife, but also was so cruel for her.

He hated those whips when they hit him, but he had no power and could do nothing.

He could only keep humiliating the other person with words and constantly reminding him that Ye Xi didn't love him at all.

The consequence of this is that it will arouse the other party's ferocity and cause yourself to suffer even greater torture.

In the end, he pretended that he could not bear the torture and confessed everything, including what he had done for Ye Xi, which of course was all according to Ye Xi's instructions.

Seeing that he confessed obediently, Wei Jue seemed to have let go of his anger. He even sarcastically said that he was "nothing special" and stopped making things difficult for him.

But it was not really good to him. Although he was not tortured, he was locked up in prison for too long without seeing the sun.

He felt a little disheartened when he thought about being falsely accused of murder and eventually being executed.

When he was about to give up, the people in the prison suddenly carried him out and moved him to an unfamiliar yard. They also hired a doctor to treat his injuries and gave him various expensive medicines.

Although he was imprisoned, he was fed and clothed warmly, and even given books to entertain him.

He then understood that perhaps Ye Xi was caught, so the other party released him but did not let him leave.

He thought the other party would make a decision quickly, deciding whether he should go or stay, but he ended up waiting for a long time, and even after his injuries healed, no one came to arrange his whereabouts.

That day, when he was walking in the yard and saw the wild flowers and weeds on the ground, he suddenly remembered what Ye Xi had said, so he began to take care of the flowers and weeds as she had done.

Today he suddenly heard a woman's voice. Although he didn't hear the words clearly, he felt that it should be Ye Xi.

He took two steps closer to the room and asked cautiously, "Is it Xi Niang?"

Instead of hearing a reply, he seemed to hear someone whimpering, and he was more certain it was Ye Xi. He excitedly wanted to break into the room but was held down by the guards.

"Xi Niang, is that you? Say something, let me know you are here, Xi Niang!"

Pei Zhu kept shouting, and then he felt something was wrong.

Because he found that the guards who had been very polite to him first covered his mouth and then took off his clothes.
