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

Chapter 113

"Madam, you..." Pei Zhu was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but Ye Xi immediately covered his mouth with his hand, shook his head, and signaled with his eyes that there was someone outside the door.

"Madam, I, I need time to think about it." Pei Zhu immediately changed his tone.

"I understand." Ye Xi replied, then took the paper on the divorce document, gently tore it into pieces, and put it in her mouth and chewed it.

Pei Zhu looked at her in a daze. Ye Xi at this time was a stranger to him, and the pretty young lady from before seemed to have disappeared.

Ye Xi actually didn't want to do this, but she had to. She was worried that she would be inspected if she stuffed the things into her sleeves.

When I saw Liusu just now, I broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the other party did not search me.

After Pei Zhu finished reading it, she originally wanted to burn it, but when she saw that there was no oil lamp in the room, she was worried that even if there was one, this action would arouse suspicion.

She didn't dare to take the things out again, as she didn't know if she would be intercepted by Wei Jue on the way.

If the other party goes wild with ferocity, the thing will be discovered no matter where it is hidden. She doesn't dare to take the risk, so eating it is the best way.

"Xi Niang, have you made up your mind?" Pei Zhu asked in a low voice. He didn't say what it was, but Ye Xi understood that he was not asking about the divorce, but about her leaving.

Ye Xi knew how risky this was. How could she not know that this world would not allow a young lady like her to venture out alone? But how could she know if she could succeed if she didn't try?

People always have to try.

Pei Zhu saw Ye Xi was silent for a long time, then nodded, so he could only remain silent.

There was a knock on the door, followed by Liusu's voice, "Miss Ye, it's getting late."

The unfinished business is that they should end it.

Ye Xi glanced around, stood up and walked to the door, but without opening it, she said, "Miss Liusu, please go get the ink pad. We don't have any here."

Liusu didn't expect that the people here actually missed this. She glanced at the closed door and had no choice but to get it herself. She responded and left.

Ye Xi listened to Liusu's footsteps getting farther and farther away from them, gently opened the door and glanced outside, and there was indeed no one.

She quickly closed the door, ran to Pei Zhu, and spoke almost into his ear.

"Husband, there's no one outside so I'll hurry up and say a few words. You must sign the divorce agreement before you can leave here safely.

After you get out, leave Suzhou city immediately. Go anywhere, don't stay here.

If my family asks about me, don't tell them the truth. Just tell them that we got divorced because I married someone richer. That way they won't embarrass you."

Ye Xi stopped and thought for a moment.

"I will write to my family later to explain the matter clearly. Our statements must be consistent to avoid suspicion.

If you can help me with what I asked you to do, it would be great. If not, please leave some money for me and I will find a solution myself."

Pei Zhu couldn't help but interrupt her: "Madam, you..."

"Listen to what I have to say. If you have anything to tell me, please relay it in secret using something that only the two of us know.

It just needs to be compatible with the environment I’m in at the time, otherwise it would be too abrupt and easily arouse suspicion.

I will find a way to talk to the person you sent alone, and, I…” Ye Xi’s voice was almost suppressed to the point of being inaudible.

When Pei Zhu was listening to her last words, Liusu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss Ye, the ink has arrived."
