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

Chapter 159

Wei Jue thought about it and actually agreed: "Yes, but I can only say this, we can't meet in person."

Ye Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Master Pei, it's me, Xi Niang. Did I scare you just now? I was afraid that you were injured, so I wanted to check. I'm sorry to have scared you."

Ye Xi spoke to the outside of the house, she knew Pei Zhu could hear her.

Sure enough, Pei Zhu was stunned for a moment. He thought the other party would not say anything, but he didn't expect that he could still say a few words.

"Xi Niang, are you really back? I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Are you... okay?" Pei Zhu couldn't help but ask the last question after being silent for a while.

"I'm fine, you..." Ye Xi choked up a little and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"That's enough! It's time to go back."

Wei Jue couldn't stand Ye Xi's crying attitude. He shouldn't have agreed to let her come to see him for another man! He dragged her away directly.

Pei Zhu also heard the scolding just now. He knew that the other party was dissatisfied, and then he heard no more sound from the room.

The guard came back shortly afterwards and told him to do what he was supposed to do, and he knew that the person had left.

In the carriage, Ye Xi looked at Wei Jue with a bad expression and asked the question in his mind.

"Your Excellency has charged him with such a serious crime, and the matter has become known to the world. I wonder how you plan to rescue him?"

Wei Jue didn't want to say it, but when he thought about how he had done something as stupid as letting them meet in order to make up for her deafness, he might as well answer this question.

"I have already arranged a substitute for him. The prisoner is going to die anyway, and he has no relatives, so it can be assumed that he died of illness in prison.

Let that person die for him and give him a new identity.

As long as he never appears in Suzhou and Hangzhou again after he leaves, no one will care about it.

I will also give him some capital to start a business again. Although he is not talented, he is hard-working and can support himself with a small business."

"My lord, you must have planned this a long time ago. You are indeed a government official." Ye Xi said sarcastically.

Wei Jue was already used to Ye Xi's sarcastic remarks, so he did not overreact. Instead, he stared at her meaningfully and said:

"He is not a hero. He confessed everything you planned after being tortured for a short time."

"Isn't it human nature to be afraid of death? Let alone him, if it were me, I would confess even without torture." Ye Xi said calmly.

This made Wei Jue feel rare. Women in the world all love heroes and most of them despise such cowards.

Ye Xi seemed to think that this was human nature, and he looked at things quite differently at such a young age.

However, her answer made him realize one thing: she knew he would go find Pei Zhu, and she deliberately didn't let him know where she was going.

But she probably didn't expect that he would frame the other party with such a deadly crime. She must have thought that he didn't dare to put such a thing as raping someone else's wife out in the open.

In fact, Ye Xi's guess was not wrong. He really just questioned and beat Pei Zhu at the beginning. Because he couldn't get any results, he made such a fuss in order to force Ye Xi to come back.

But she underestimated her importance in his heart and thought he would give up if he couldn't find her.

Ye Xi just didn't guess that he was so cruel, or she didn't guess that he would be so despicable as to take someone's life by falsely accusing him of a crime in order to force her to show up.

Ye Xi was very quiet after coming back. She knew Pei Zhu must have suffered a lot, and she knew very well what prison was like.

The last time Pei Zhu went in, she at least spent money to get him in, but not this time. Coupled with Wei Jue's deliberate making things difficult for him, she could imagine how much he had suffered.

Wearing such thick clothes in such hot weather will definitely cause sequelae to her body. She regretted her impulsiveness and underestimated Wei Jue's shamelessness.
