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

Chapter 358

Xue Jiu was also very surprised. He thought Miss Ye would object to the adults' request for her people to stay and help for a while. After all, this meant sacrificing Ye Xi's personal interests.

Their thinking is still too narrow.

For Ye Xi, the premise for her to be able to do business and make money for a long time is peace and prosperity in the country, so this loss is really nothing to her.

"Guard Xue, you asked my people to stay here for a while. This means that as long as they successfully grow the first crop of new crops, they can return to Hangzhou City, right?"

“Yes, now the people of Huzhou City are not optimistic about the results of the new crops and still want to grow rice.

But there is a shortage of water here. Instead of growing rice, it would be better to grow new crops. But they don't believe it.

Adults think that if someone gives them a sample, they will be more receptive.”

Xue Jiu was worried that Ye Xi would go back on his word, so he explained carefully.

In fact, if the court wanted to requisition her people, it really didn't need her consent.

Not to mention her, even her subordinates couldn't refuse.

But Ye Xi also contributed to the disaster relief this time. Considering her close relationship with the adults, she had to do some superficial work.

Why don’t the adults come themselves? Isn’t it because they are afraid that the two of them will start quarreling again? After all, quarreling too much will hurt their feelings.

Ye Xi didn't want to go back on her word, but she was worried that her people wouldn't be able to return safely.

"After they complete their mission, will someone escort them back? Don't get my people killed."

This place is quite far from Hangzhou City. She can't stay here with them for several months, but she can't ignore them either.

Hearing that she was worried about this, Xue Jiu smiled and quickly explained:

“Don’t worry, young lady. There are still some soldiers left here to supervise.

They will leave only when everything is over, and then they will send your people back."

Ye Xi felt relieved when she heard this, and then she heard Xue Jiu say, "Miss, you can pack your bags now. The master said that we will set off back home in a few days."

Upon hearing the news, Ye Xi was so excited that her eyebrows moved unconsciously, and it looked like she was "dancing", which made Xue Jiu laugh.

In fact, he didn't understand why the adults had to bring the girl with them. If they needed her help, they could just bring her here.

If it was for...but except for that time in the carriage, the master had not touched the girl during his time in Huzhou City, which made Xue Jiu confused.

In fact, Wei Jue insisted on taking Ye Xi with him because he was worried that after he left, she would come back to life and run away with someone else.

Although he thought that as long as he was there, they had no chance.

But who knows what she would do if she was pushed into a corner? Thinking of her unexpected behavior many years ago, he became more and more worried.

At that time, she was still under his nose, but he let her run away. After thinking it over, he felt that it was safest to keep her by his side.

As for why he didn't touch her during the time in Huzhou City, it wasn't because he didn't want to, but because the timing was not right.

Either he was too busy, or she had her own day. Later, when he was not so busy, her day went away again. But they had a fight!

She didn't even want to see him, let alone let him touch her body.

After Xue Jiu finished what he needed to say, he wanted to leave, but then he thought of something and hesitated while looking at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
