Chapter 425
Ye Xi didn't expect that even at this time, Xue Jiu still didn't change his tone. She felt that she was really wise to make arrangements in advance.
"Xue Jiu, if you don't tell me, I won't embarrass you, but I tell you, Xia Mu and the two children are in my hands."
Ye Xi originally thought that as long as he told the truth, she didn't want to use this method. After all, they had been together for many years and had developed some friendship.
Xue Jiu looked at Ye Xi in shock. He had followed Wei Jue for many years and had experienced many ups and downs. It was impossible for him to think that Ye Xi's last sentence was a joke.
Moreover, she had guessed that someone wanted her to be buried with him, so it was impossible for her to make such a joke at this time.
When people face a crisis, they will try to save themselves.
"Girl, you won't hurt them, right?" Xue Jiu asked.
"Xue Jiu, when it comes to life and death, don't play tricks. I'll tell you my request first, and you can think about it carefully afterwards.
My request is very simple. You have to find a way to save my life. The day I leave Beijing safely, Xia Mu and the others will be able to return to you safely.
Otherwise, I will let them be buried with me, which will be considered as fulfilling the master-servant relationship we have had for so many years."
Ye Xi didn't even realize how cold and indifferent he was when he said this.
She never thought that one day she would threaten other people's lives just to find a way to survive.
When she came up with this idea, she hated herself deeply.
To her, Xia Mu is like a sister, but unfortunately she is also Xue Jiu's wife, and she can use her as a bargaining chip to control Xue Jiu.
But she had no choice. When she guessed Wei Jue's intention, she couldn't sleep or eat, not knowing when someone would come to take her life.
Although she had died once, it was sudden at that time and she came here without any pain.
But facing the impending death, she was still afraid.
She thought of many ways, but none of them was as reliable as this one, and it was also the easiest for her to operate.
"...Girl, please don't hurt them. I, I will do my best." Xue Jiu finally managed to say this.
This was equivalent to confirming Ye Xi's guess from the side, and her heart felt cold for a moment.
Speculation is one thing, after all, she still holds the fantasy that maybe it isn't the case. Now she has completely given up hope.
"Then I'll wait for your good news. I need to leave as soon as possible. Xia Mu and the others will come back after I leave."
Ye Xi felt that her heart had become a little cold, and the words she spoke also had a hint of chilliness.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will arrange for you to leave as soon as possible." Xue Jiu replied.
In fact, Xue Jiu was in a bit of a dilemma because he didn't know who was going to execute this order.
After all, according to the Wei family's usual practice, in order to prevent mistakes, they will definitely have a backup plan.
Now, he has to keep an eye on people who get close to Ye Xi, and he also specifically tells Ye Xi many things to pay attention to.
Especially at this time, many people would try to fish in troubled waters, asking her to pay attention to everything, come to him if anything goes wrong, and then wait for his news.
"Xue Jiu, don't let me down." Ye Xi said this when Xue Jiu left.
The result was as she wished. She successfully left the capital where she had lived for a long time and returned to Hangzhou, where she had been away for a long time.
……
Four years later, the twenty-year-old Wei Ye was promoted to the position of First-Rank Grand Tutor, the youngest high-ranking official in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He went to the south of the Yangtze River on business, and on his way back he had nothing to do so he made a detour to Hangzhou to visit Ye Xi.
At this time, Ye Xi and Pei Zhu were together again. This was the result of Pei Zhu's persistence for three years.
