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

Chapter 135

Ye Xi learned her lesson this time. She found that no matter how she acted, Wei Jue would treat it as a kind of interest and would think of everything in that way.

For the next few days she simply behaved herself and did nothing.

Wei Jue was surprised at Ye Xi's obedience: "Xi Niang has been so well-behaved these days, I will take you out for a walk tonight."

Ye Xi didn't show any emotion on her face, but she was happy in her heart. Before the New Year, although she had someone following her, she could still go out as she pleased. But now she was trapped here. How could she stay here when she heard that she could go out?

Although she didn't say anything, she was anxiously waiting for Wei Jue to take her out after dinner.

Wei Jue was upset that she ignored him just now, so he deliberately hesitated and didn't bring up the issue.

Seeing that Ye Xi was staring at him with eyes about to spark and refused to speak first, he became a little annoyed.

Then he thought that tonight was the Lantern Festival and there would be many celebratory activities on the streets. It would be a pity to miss them, so he compromised and asked someone to prepare a carriage to take the person out.

The carriages can only take them to the front part of the busiest place, and they have to walk the rest of the way by themselves. No carriages are allowed to pass tonight.

Taking the cold weather into consideration, Wei Jue put a fox fur cloak on Ye Xi and asked the embroiderer to thicken the inner part, fearing that Ye Xi could not stand the cold outside.

He was also wearing a cloak, which was a little thinner. If he wore it like Ye Xi, he would probably sweat.

For fear that they might get lost due to too many people, Wei Jue brought four people. Liusu was behind Ye Xi on the left, Wei Jue was on her right, Xue Jiu was behind Wei Jue on the right, and there were two more people following directly behind the two of them.

Wei Jue naturally held Ye Xi's hand. Ye Xi didn't want to do this on the street, so she always tried to shake off Wei Jue's hand by looking at the little things on the street stalls.

Wei Jue let go of her hand consciously the first two times, but later he found out that Ye Xi did it on purpose and just didn’t want him to hold her hand, so he looked a little unhappy.

Finally, when Ye Xi tried for the third time, he not only did not let go, but also held Ye Xi's hand tightly with such force that Ye Xi felt pain.

He said in a cold voice: "Just use your eyes to look at those things. If you must use your hands, you still have your left hand. If you must use both hands, then let Xue Jiu buy the things, and you can take a closer look after you return home."

The meaning was very clear, which was that Ye Xi should not try to shake off his hand again.

Ye Xi could tell that Wei Jue was unhappy, so she gave up the idea and obediently let herself be led forward.

There were many performances on the streets during the Lantern Festival, including dragon dancing. Looking at the long line of people winding through the crowd, Ye Xi suddenly felt that this scene was really suitable for "disappearing".

There are so many people, and Wei Jue only has five people in total, so it is actually very difficult to find her.

But after she let out a breath, she decided to forget about the weather, as she might freeze to death on the road before leaving Suzhou City.

"I'll take you to see something." Wei Jue's tone became better, no longer as cold as before. He took Ye Xi's hand and walked towards the lake.

Ye Xi was not very willing to do so. It was very cold by the lake in this kind of weather. However, she had no right to refuse and could only let Wei Jue drag her forward.

"We're here, and the time is almost up. It's going to start soon." Wei Jue took her to the lake and said.

After hearing this, Ye Xi guessed that there might be a performance, but when she looked around, she didn't seem to see anything special except people.

But the faces of the people around her were all facing the center of the lake, so she looked over there too.
