Chapter 143
"Sir, if Miss Ye had planned it long ago, then would her going to the money house first be one of the steps?" Liusu reminded.
Wei Jue glanced at her. After she told him the story that day, he sent someone to find the owner of the money shop. He was very concerned about what Liusu said, that Ye Xi actually sold the jade.
Although he and Ye Xi had only spent a short time together, he had a general understanding of Ye Xi's personality.
She hung the jade around her neck so preciously, so why would she sell it just because she got tired of it? It was more like her style to put the jade away.
Sure enough, after being severely tortured by him, the shopkeeper confessed the truth and told him everything.
Wei Jue became furious again because of this incident and smashed to pieces all the objects he could move in the house. How could he not guess that the person "entrusted by someone" mentioned by the shopkeeper was Pei Zhu.
Now that Liusu pointed it out again, the anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty rose again.
"It seems like I have to bring that guy out to give her some 'surprises', otherwise she won't learn to be obedient." Wei Jue gritted his teeth.
Time passed quickly, it was already summer, and Ye Xi had been in Yuezhou for three months.
During this period, she first lived in an inn for a while. After getting acquainted with the owner, she asked him to help her rent a quiet little courtyard.
She had just arrived here, was unfamiliar with the place, and her accent was not local. She was afraid of being cheated by the broker, so she did not dare to buy or sell the house easily.
She told the shopkeeper that her ancestral home was Yuezhou, her father died early, and she left here when she was young because she followed her mother back to her hometown.
Because her mother had been ill recently, she was ordered by her grandfather to come back to ask her father's clan for help, but she had been away for too long and the clan members could not find her for a while.
The shopkeeper took good care of her because of her filial piety.
Ye Xi did not dare to show off her wealth, so she gave some change to the shopkeeper as a thank you. Of course, the shopkeeper refused to accept it, as he thought that a girl would need money every now and then when she was away from home.
Ye Xi used the blank travel permit and good household registration to stay in Yuezhou smoothly. Over the past few months, she has been constantly learning the local accent.
Although her words were not so standard, everyone knew that she had lived in the local area for a period of time and did not dare to lie to her easily.
Today, Ye Xi went out to buy some daily necessities. She has been planning to buy a house recently.
I plan to walk around Yuezhou City more often to see which location is suitable. Once I find one, I will ask the agent to keep an eye out for it.
In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a bulletin board called a letter pavilion at the entrance of the government office, the city gate, and in a conspicuous place in the bustling downtown area of every city. It was used specifically to disseminate information or policies issued by the court, or to announce local or foreign criminal news, etc.
Ye Xi has never had the habit of watching these things, so she doesn’t care too much.
But she heard the people around her discussing something, and seemed to hear the words "Hangzhou" and "Pei surname". She was very sensitive to these words, so she stepped forward and asked them what they were talking about.
The other party told her that a piece of news about Hangzhou City was recently posted in Xinting, saying that a man named Pei had violated the law and would be executed in the autumn.
When Ye Xi heard the word "beheading", her heart trembled. Just one word scared her so much. If it was really related to Pei Zhu, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.
She stumbled to the front of the letter pavilion and saw a piece of news about Hangzhou City posted in a not-too-conspicuous place.
