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

Chapter 259

The two of them ate snacks and drank wine like old friends, ignoring each other's ex-partners and talking only about their children and business.

After drinking, Ye Xi became very talkative and told him all about his entrepreneurial history.

Pei Zhu, on the other hand, had little to say and mostly just listened.

Later, he didn't let Ye Xi drink too much. Looking at Ye Xi's red face, he was afraid that she would get drunk and pass out.

Now that they are not husband and wife, they have to be a little cautious.

This meal took them a long time, so long that Ye Xi almost fell asleep. He felt that they had to separate, and he was thinking about how to send Ye Xi back.

It was not appropriate for him to support her, so he should just call for a sedan chair.

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a soft voice.

"The young lady seems to be here. Look, is that the young lady?"

Pei Zhu looked towards the source of the sound with drunken eyes and found that it was actually a little girl, accompanied by a strong girl.

They all looked at him, no, to be more precise, at the people around him.

Before he could react, he saw the two men running towards him.

The little girl gently touched Ye Xi's head and confirmed that Ye Xi's face was the person she was looking for.

"Yes, Miss! I said the clothes looked familiar." Hong Xiu stood in front of Ye Xi like a chicken protecting a chick, staring at Pei Zhu.

Jin Ling also saw it. It was definitely the young lady, so she also glared at Pei Zhu.

Pei Zhu looked at the two people's postures and thought about what they said, and realized that these two should be Ye Xi's maids.

He heard from Ye Xin that Chuntao had been married off by Ye's mother a long time ago, so it was normal that he had never met these two people.

The other party probably had never seen him before and thought that he was bullying Ye Xi and regarded him as a lecher.

"Don't misunderstand me, ladies. Xi Niang and I are old acquaintances. We were very happy to meet each other today and drank a few more cups.

I was still worrying about how to send her back, and it's just in time that you two are here."

Pei Zhu was slightly tipsy, but he spoke fluently and gave some explanations.

"Hongxiu, let's go."

Jin Ling didn't care what Pei Zhu said. She asked Hongxiu to help Ye Xi onto her back. Hongxiu supported her from behind and carried Ye Xi to a carriage not far from the store.

It turned out that Ye Xi had been out for too long, and the lady was worried, so she asked them to go out in a carriage to look for him.

Pei Zhu watched Ye Xi being put into the carriage, he was still a little worried. After all, he had never seen these two girls before. What if they were matchmakers?

So he borrowed a donkey from his neighbor and quietly followed the carriage.

The carriage was not moving fast, so he followed it slowly. Only when he saw the carriage finally drive into the Ye family he was familiar with did he feel relieved and turn back.

When Ye Xi woke up, she heard from Hong Xiu how they picked up the person.

Hearing them comment that Pei Zhu was a "lecher", she wanted to laugh, then explained that they were indeed old acquaintances and asked them to be more polite to Pei Zhu in the future.

“Miss, you should take us with you when you go out next time. It’s okay this time since we are old acquaintances.

It would be bad if I really met a scoundrel in the future. With Jin Ling here, I don’t have to worry about being bullied.”

Hongxiu said with her innocent little face raised.

"That's right, Miss, you hired me to protect your safety. How could you leave me here and run away by yourself?" Jin Ling also agreed.

"Good good."

Ye Xi didn't expect that these two girls were so nagging, even more nagging than Ye's mother.

She originally thought that traveling with three people was too conspicuous and was afraid that Pei Zhu would find out. Now that he had found out, it would be okay to take them out in the future.
