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

Chapter 146

As soon as he closed the door, he quickly took out the thing in his hand and found that it was a rolled-up strip of paper.

He spread it out and saw the word "brother" written at the beginning of the note, which was just as he expected.

Next, he was given the name of an inn and a room number, as well as a code word. Ye Xin understood that this meant he wanted to meet him secretly.

Thinking of this, Ye Xin didn't dare to turn around and go out rashly. He lingered at home for a long time before going out again.

After going out, he did not go directly to the place Ye Xi mentioned, but went to a good friend's house and sat for a while. After leaving, he passed by the inn and pretended to take a rest and went in.

After entering, I told the shopkeeper which room I wanted to rest in and try some pre-rain Longjing tea.

After entering the room, he looked around and found that there was no one, but he did see a window. He quickly walked to the window and began to recite a poem.

He has recited several poems and a long time has passed, but there is no movement. Is he too late?

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue reading, he heard someone knocking on the window.

Knock on the window, this... is the second floor!

He suspected that Ye Xi had climbed the wall to such a high place, and was worried that if he was too late, she would fall down, so he quickly and gently opened the window a crack, being very careful, for fear of pushing Ye Xi down.

As a result, he looked along both sides of the window and found no one, but he vaguely saw a short stick knocking on the window.

He pushed open the window with confidence, and then saw Ye Xi's face showing diagonally opposite.

"Sister, you..." How can you be so smart!

"Brother, keep your voice down." Ye Xi quickly took back the stick, "No one is following you, right?"

"Uh, there shouldn't be any. I've been very careful. Sister, what are you doing?" Why are you so mysterious?

"Brother, I escaped from Lord Wei's mansion and fled to Yuezhou.

However, when I heard that a man named Pei was executed in Hangzhou City in the autumn, I was worried that it might be related to Pei Zhu, so I secretly came back to take a look.

Tell me quickly, how is Pei Zhu?"

"How did he escape? Didn't you follow him voluntarily?" Ye Xin was stunned.

"This is a long story. First, tell me, what happened to Pei Zhu?" Ye Xi was anxious.

Ye Xin was silent for a moment, and Ye Xi realized that something was wrong, and it was probably related to Pei Zhu.

"Tell me, are you trying to make me die of anxiety?" Ye Xi's voice was filled with tears.

"Sister, the government said he killed someone, and the evidence is irrefutable."

When the Ye family learned about this, they were shocked. They knew exactly what kind of person their son-in-law was, so how could such a rumor be spread out of nowhere? It must be a false accusation.

The Ye family once tried to lobby for Pei Zhu, but the government ignored them. Even when Mr. Ye sold part of his property to bribe the prefect and ask him to spare Pei Zhu's life, he was rejected.

The Ye family had no choice but to give up after running around in despair. More than two months ago, Ye Xin even went to Yunmoju in Suzhou City specifically for this matter. He wanted to meet Ye Xi and ask her to ask Wei Jue to save Pei Zhu for the sake of their past friendship.

But he couldn't see Ye Xi at all. The servants there said that Wei Jue went on a long business trip and Ye Xi followed him.

It is not clear where he went or when he will come back, and it is not something the servants should know.

He waited there for several days, asking every day, which annoyed the security guard so much that he almost kicked him out. Finally, he had no choice but to return to Hangzhou City.
