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

Chapter 141

The guard who went to find Wei Jue first went to the Command Headquarters, where he was told that the master was not there. He then went to patrol the military camp outside the city, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the military camp.

Because outsiders were not allowed to enter and leave the military camp at will, it took a long time for him to meet Wei Jue, which delayed him.

Liusu and another guard split into two groups outside the city, one went to the official road, and the other went to the side road, praying that they could catch the escaped Ye Xi as soon as possible, otherwise the adults would skin them alive.

In the end, they returned empty-handed. When Liusu returned to the city gate, she suddenly thought of a more serious problem: the waterway that Ye Xi might have taken.

Because Suzhou City has well-developed rivers and many branches, it is the easiest to confuse people.

She hated herself for forgetting about this in a fit of impatience. When she was about to walk over there, she was stopped by the guard at the city gate, who said that the master wanted to see her, so she hurried over.

Obviously, Wei Jue had already thought of the problem she was thinking of, and he had already sent people to the riverside to inquire.

"You will be lashed twenty times, and the other two will be lashed forty times. Go away." Wei Jue said harshly, and everyone was taken away.

Wei Jue has calmed down after his initial anger. He knows that after so much time has passed, Ye Xi must have run far away.

All he could do now was to find out where she had escaped to so that he could catch her back.

He was even thinking about how to punish her after she was caught, and he had thought of many ways of punishment in his mind.

"Someone, call the painter over." Wei Jue ordered.

Next, Ye Xi's portrait was sent by the palace guards to the cities near Suzhou City. The guards at the city gates were ordered to check whether the young ladies entering or leaving the city had anyone who looked like them, and to detain them immediately if they were found.

After Ye Xi came out of Huilong Money House, he took Liusu and two guards to visit those shops that specialized in buying big items. After a while, the shops were full of purchases, and even Liusu's hands were busy.

She suddenly heard the sound of suona and realized that the wealthy family she had noticed before was preparing to take the funeral procession up the mountain and should be on a nearby street at this moment.

So she turned to the street again, and soon she was caught up in the crowd of onlookers.

She secretly glanced back at Liusu and the others and found that they were looking around, probably looking for her, so she bent down and took off her clothes while walking towards the funeral procession.

In order to avoid attracting malicious glances, she took off her inner red coat under the cover of her cloak and threw it directly on the ground.

When she got close to the funeral procession, she took off her cloak, revealing that she was wearing clothes similar to those in the funeral procession. It turned out that she was wearing an extra layer of linen clothes under her red coat today.

She threw her cloak on the ground, lowered her head and blended into the women in the funeral procession. She raised her sleeves as if wiping her tears, and sobbed quietly all the way with her sleeves covering her face.

She expected that Liusu would not pay attention to the women in the funeral procession when she was looking for her, and she didn't need to worry about the clothes thrown on the ground. The materials of those clothes were very good, and there would definitely be someone in the crowd who was greedy and would pick them up.

As she expected, Liusu never expected Ye Xi to sneak into the funeral procession and her clothes were picked up by someone.

After she followed the funeral procession out of the city and turned to the river, she took off her sackcloth on the way, revealing the black clothes underneath.

She smeared some mud on her face, rearranged her hair into an old woman's style, and smeared some of the smelly mud on her clothes.

It made her look a lot older and she also had a slight odor on her body.
