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

Chapter 290

Ye Xi saw Ling's transformation, although she didn't know the reason for the transformation.

Alas, for thousands of years, not only the problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem, but also the problem between aunt and sister-in-law.

Although little Siyu is still young, she is very well-behaved. Ye Xi thinks there is no problem in taking her out.

It has been more than a month, and she missed Pei Zhu a little. She asked Jin Ling to hold Xiao Siyu, and the two of them took a carriage to Pei Zhu's Shaluo Pavilion.

But Pei Zhu was not here today, Ye Xi was curious and asked the waiter.

The waiter replied that the boss's child was sick and the illness seemed serious, and the boss had not been to the store for several days.

Ye Xi panicked when she heard this. The child's illness could be serious or minor, so she turned around and got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive to Pei Zhu's house.

She had never been to Pei Zhu's home, but she roughly knew where it was.

Ye Xin described it to her and said it was easy to find. It was in an alley with a jujube tree planted at the entrance.

Ye Xin said that not many people plant trees in front of their homes in that alley, after all, the entrances to their homes are not wide.

Most people don't want their doorways to be blocked by trees, and most people choose to plant trees in even numbers for good luck, but there is only one tree in front of Pei Zhu's house.

I heard that Pei Zhu’s wife planted them specially before she passed away, saying that this would make it easier to identify the front door of the house.

Unfortunately, there was not enough space and only one tree could be planted. Pei Zhu was not afraid of taboos so he kept it.

As expected, Ye Xi found Pei Zhu's house easily. She asked Jin Ling to stay in the carriage with the child, and she got out with a veil on and knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door for a long time, someone finally opened it. It was a young servant with an unfamiliar face.

The other person seemed to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was obviously surprised to see the person coming, because she couldn't see her hairstyle and didn't know whether she was a married woman or a girl in the boudoir.

Fortunately, the other party was quick-witted: "Who are you looking for, sir?"

"I'm looking for Pei Zhu. I heard his child is sick, so I came to visit him."

Ye Xi looked into the yard through the gauze. The yard was very small and a little dilapidated, perhaps because no one took care of it.

"What is your name, sir? I'll go and inform the master."

"My name is Ye Xi."

"Please wait a moment, sir." The servant closed the door, and then the sound of footsteps faded away.

When the door opened again, Ye Xi saw Pei Zhu's face.

He looked very haggard, but his eyes were full of stars. After seeing Ye Xi, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he looked very happy.

"Why is Xi Niang here?" The voice was hoarse, as if it had been burned.

"Are you sick too?" Ye Xi was very worried.

"Come in first. My yard is small and the carriage probably can't fit in. Why don't you ask him to wait in the inn outside?"

Pei Zhu saw the carriage behind Ye Xi.

Ye Xi turned around and took a look at the carriage. The alley was narrow, so it would not be a good idea for the carriage to stay here.

She turned around and told the driver to go back first, and also told Jinling to go home first.

After watching the carriage leave the alley, Ye Xi turned and entered Pei Zhu's yard.

Such a commotion naturally aroused the curiosity of many neighbors, but Ye Xi didn't care about that.

The Zhou Dynasty did not have such strict rules for gender separation, and she would not care about those gossips.

Pei Zhu's yard was not big, probably only two entrances. Ye Xi followed Pei Zhu and asked, "You haven't answered me yet, are you sick too?"

"No, maybe it's because I didn't get enough rest." Pei Zhu's voice was better, not as hoarse as before.

"How is the child's illness? Is it getting better? What does the doctor say?" Ye Xi did not forget the purpose of this trip.
