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

Chapter 444 Extra - Wei Jue (11)

In the dream, Lin Yan was discovered and used by him relatively late. Now, in order to protect Ye Xi, he brought her here in advance.

Also brought over by him was Mother Zhao from the Duke's Mansion.

This Mrs. Zhao is quite good at dealing with the interactions between the women in the house, so it would be perfect to have her assist Ye Xi in handling the affairs of the inner house.

In the dream, Ye Xi was his concubine and she didn't have to socialize with other officials' wives, so it didn't matter whether she had help from someone like Mother Zhao or not.

But after becoming his legal wife, Ye Xi could not avoid entertaining these officials' wives.

He was worried that Ye Xi would be fooled by others, so it would be best to have Mother Zhao, who was familiar with the tricks, to serve her.

In this way, Ye Xi always has three people taking care of her: Chun Tao, the maid brought from her mother's home, Mother Zhao who assists her in management, and Lin Yan, the bodyguard who protects her.

However, he did not let Chuntao follow him on this trip, because Ye Xi felt that there were too many people following him, so he wanted Chuntao to serve him personally, and Lin Yan who knew martial arts.

But Wei Jue felt that it was inappropriate, so he replaced Chun Tao with Zhao Mama. She believed that Zhao Mama could still serve Ye Xi personally.

When traveling, Wei Jue and Ye Xi rode in the same carriage, Mother Zhao and Lin Yan rode in another, the luggage was also loaded in a carriage, and the others followed on horseback.

In the carriage, it was Ye Xi’s first trip. After lifting the curtain, he kept staring outside.

Wei Jue also found the look of seeing everything new new. Girls rarely travel far, and some of them only travel far away when they get married.

Seeing Ye Xi like this, he felt a little distressed and thought about taking her out for walks more often in the future. It would not be a difficult thing for him.

After walking curiously for a while, Ye Xi gradually lost interest when she saw that the scenery was almost the same, and then began to feel drowsy.

Wei Jue was afraid that she would hit her head, so he let her lean on his shoulder to rest, while he read the official documents very carefully.

Suzhou City is not far from Hangzhou City. The journey takes about three days by horse carriage. Ye Xi was quite used to it except that he felt a little jolted.

After they arrived in Suzhou City, they moved into the residence arranged by local officials.

Logically, the Suzhou prefect and Wei Jue are of the same rank. Because Wei Jue is from the Duke's Mansion, and his father is like a regent, even officials of higher rank than him can only curry favor with Wei Jue, so the Suzhou prefect was very honored to get this caring job.

Ye Xi didn't quite understand the twists and turns in the officialdom and thought it was just a matter of mutual care between their colleagues in the officialdom.

She thought she should bring Chuntao over so that they could go out for food and drinks.

Mother Zhao is old and definitely won't accompany her in making trouble. Lin Yan is even more so. She has a stern face all day long, fearing that someone will murder her.

She just couldn't understand how so many people could want to murder her.

Ye Xi rested for a day at her place of residence. When Wei Jue went out to handle official business, she wanted to take Lin Yan out to play, but was stopped by Mother Zhao.

"Madam, as per custom, the wife of the Suzhou prefect will come to visit today, so you still have to stay here to entertain her."

Ye Xi was shocked? Why was she still involved?

"Mother Zhao, is this necessary?" Ye Xi asked.

"Of course, this is proper etiquette and we must not be disrespectful."

Mother Zhao taught Ye Xi earnestly, thinking in her heart that the daughter of a poor family is no good. She doesn't even know the little etiquette and all she does is eat and drink all day long.

I don’t know what the old man was thinking, but he actually agreed to this marriage. It will take some effort to teach his wife to become a qualified official’s wife.
