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

Chapter 327

Pei Zhu still attaches great importance to certain principles and will not break them easily.

This was the conclusion she drew from some of the other party's business practices. For example, Pei Zhu would not evade taxes, nor would he be willing to sell inferior products as good ones.

And it was even stranger for her to discover this in her new house.

Although Li Niang said that she was ordered to go to a faraway place to do something, she only discovered this when she returned not long after leaving the place and found that she had forgotten to bring something.

But no matter what, Pei Zhu had other ways to keep it from her.

She never asked him about other things and trusted him completely. He could keep the secret until after they got married.

By then, the relationship between them was already settled, wouldn't it be easier for him to control her?

More importantly, she was very rich, and Pei Zhu could choose to take possession of her property after marriage.

If a man doesn't even care about money and insists on leaving a woman, it means there is a greater temptation than appropriating a woman's property, or it is - dangerous.

It was revealed at this time, as if it was deliberately meant for her to know.

Moreover, his reasons were not convincing enough for her. If the other party wanted to see the new house, he could simply arrange a rented house for the other party and hide it from her. Why should he take such a risk?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong; many of the details didn't match up.

She remembered the scene she bumped into yesterday, a man and a woman alone, naked, looking like they had just finished doing something.

There is usually a special smell left after an event, but she didn't seem to smell any familiar smell yesterday.

But when she thought of Pei Zhu's appearance at that time, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Sure enough, no matter what the truth was, she was still jealous.

Ye Xi had a guess in her mind, and she wanted to verify it, so she came to Sha Luo Pavilion.

Standing outside the door, she saw Pei Zhu sitting at the counter. He looked very haggard.

"Xi Niang? Why are you here?" Pei Zhu was surprised and happy to see Ye Xi appear.

"Not welcome?" Ye Xi really admired himself for being able to make fun of it at this time.

"No, follow me."

Pei Zhu welcomed Ye Xi into the shopkeeper's office, and the two planned to have a good talk.

Pei Zhu seemed a little nervous. He didn't dare to look at Ye Xi. His eyes were flickering and timid. This was a typical reaction of someone who had done something wrong.

"Xi Niang, why are you here?"

Pei Zhu asked anxiously. He didn't expect Ye Xi to come to him so soon. He thought the other party would think about it for a long time.

"I've thought it through. I still want to marry you." Ye Xi said courageously.

The scene was quiet for a while. Pei Zhu was a little dazed. He thought he was hallucinating.

"Xi Niang, what did you say?" Pei Zhu asked tremblingly.

"I still want to marry you." Ye Xi repeated.

"Will you forgive me?"

"There is no such thing as forgiveness or not, because I don't believe you will get involved with other women."

Especially at this time, Ye Xi added in his heart.

In the government office in Hangzhou City, Xue Jiu and several other confidants were trembling outside the door because Wei Jue had just lost his temper inside the house.

Several confidants didn't understand what was going on, so after they walked a little further away, they asked Xue Jiu why the adults were angry.

The recent tariff rectification has been going smoothly, and even a few difficult tough guys have been dealt with by Wei Jue.

The other party obediently made up for the taxes evaded in previous years, gradually filling the treasury that had been emptied by the war.

They all thought that this was a rewarding job, so why did the Lord get so angry?
