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

Chapter 118

"Can you please knock on the door first next time and wait for me to respond before coming in? I'm not used to it." Ye Xi said to the maids.

"Girl, the master asked us to serve you well."

At first, the servants in the mansion didn't know how to address Ye Xi. "Madam" is usually used to address the mistress, and "aunt" is used to address concubines.

Although the adults loved her, they did not formally explain her identity to them.

The housekeeper even went to ask Wei Jue about this. Wei Jue was silent for a moment and said that he would call her "Miss" for the time being. Then all the servants in the mansion knew that Ye Xi was not even a concubine to Wei Jue.

"Then you just have to listen to me and serve me well. Do you understand?" Ye Xi said, quickly putting on the rest of her clothes.

She was only half-dressed when they came in without warning, scaring her into a panic. She was really not used to the ancient people's lack of attention to privacy.

Wei Jue asked others to change his clothes while he was naked, as if he was disabled.

"I understand, young lady." The maids replied.

After Ye Xi had finished packing, a maid came in and asked Ye Xi where she wanted to eat.

"Let's do it here. By the way, what's your name?" Ye Xi asked her name.

"My name is Cuilan."

After Ye Xi finished her meal, Cui Lan asked other maids to carry in a few boxes, some big and some small, three in total.

Ye Xi looked at them and wondered what they were.

Cuilan explained: "These are what the master told me to bring to you after you wake up before I left. They are things that the master prepared for you. Can you take a look first?

See which ones you need now and which ones can be put away for the time being.”

Ye Xi was curious about what Wei Jue had prepared for her, so she asked Cui Lan to open all the boxes. She took a look around and found that the big box contained expensive fabrics, which should be for making clothes for her.

The hand-sized box contained jewellery. She took a look at it. Although she had not seen many expensive jewellery, she could tell from the quality and workmanship that these were not cheap.

The smallest box actually contained silver and banknotes, totaling about two or three hundred taels. He was very generous.

Is he trying to bribe her? Or is he trying to stun her with money? Honestly, seeing these glamorous and luxurious objects, which girl wouldn't have some vanity?

If she had nothing and was poor, these items would be so precious to her that she would sell herself without hesitation to get them. She would have no backbone when it comes to survival.

But this is not her situation now. If she could live a good life with Pei Zhu, have a considerate husband, a loving family, and a happy life, these are incomparable to these cold objects.

"Miss, the master has ordered the tailor to come today to measure your size and make a few more clothes for you. Where do you want to put the jewelry and silver?" Cuilan asked.

Ye Xi finally came to her senses: "Give me the silver, and you can help put away the jewelry. You don't have to make clothes. I'll go back and get the old ones today."

Cuilan didn't expect that Ye Xi would go out today, and the adults did not tell her whether Ye Xi could go out.

So Cuilan was a little flustered and advised: "Miss, if you want to go out, let me send someone to ask the master first..."

"What? I don't even have the freedom to go out now? Do I have to ask him?" Ye Xi was a little angry. This Wei Jue was too domineering.

"No, it's just that I dare not act on my own without your order." Cuilan said weakly.
