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

Chapter 293

"why do you like it?"

"Auntie is pretty and treats little Ciba very well."

"How can I be good to you?"

"Auntie feeds me, dresses me, and plays with me." Little Ciba thought about it seriously and answered.

After hearing this, Pei Zhu began to imagine the scene and felt it was a pity that he did not see it.

The next day, Ye Xi came again, but this time she brought a little girl who was a few months old.

She introduced this to Pei Zhu and Xiao Ciba as her daughter, Xiao Siyu.

Pei Zhu thought that the girl was very pretty and would definitely be a beauty in the future, but she really didn't look like Ye Xi.

He had suspected before that it might be Ye Xisheng's because the timing was too coincidental.

A few months after she came back, she had to go on a long journey. Even if she was pregnant at that time, it would not be noticeable. Then she went to a distant place to wait for the birth of the baby and came back after that.

But he saw that the baby girl was indeed a few months old, so she couldn't be Ye Xisheng's.

He found himself a little funny. Ye Xi didn't need to lie to him. They had even worse pasts that had all been revealed. So what was the big deal about having a child?

The three-year-old Ciba was very curious about the little sister who appeared. After all, he had never seen a playmate who could only crawl.

Ye Xi's original intention was to let the two children meet and get to know each other so that they could have a playmate in the future.

But their age difference was ignored. Little Siyu could only crawl now and seemed unable to play with little Ciba.

She thought that little Ciba would soon become impatient, after all, older children don’t like playing with younger children.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ciba not only likes Xiao Siyu very much, but also plays with her patiently.

She couldn't help but sigh that little Ciba was really a divine baby.

Seeing the two children having fun, Ye Xi and Pei Zhu couldn't help but laugh. When they looked at each other, their faces turned red unconsciously.

Ye Xi let the children play by themselves, and then suggested to Pei Zhu that they renovate one of the rooms, lay a carpet on it, and move all the toys inside.

From now on, children can play inside. When winter comes, it will be safer for children to play indoors.

Ye Xi also made many suggestions for renovating the house, and Pei Zhu felt very happy listening to them.

It was as if the two of them had returned to the time when they had just bought the yard in Suzhou City, and Ye Xi was also wanting to renovate the house in various ways at that time.

At this point, there was actually no need for the two of them to talk about many things, but Pei Zhu had not yet made much money from running the store.

Now that he is heavily in debt, he doesn't want others to think that he relies on women, so he insists on waiting until he has paid off all his debts and can give Ye Xi a good life before he is willing to take that step.

He conveyed this meaning to Ye Xi tactfully, but she didn't care much about it. She didn't want to find anyone else anyway, so she just waited.

If Pei Zhu's answer was that she had no intention, then she might just plan to live a free life, eating, drinking and having fun.

Life is short, and after experiencing this, Ye Xi has actually become more open-minded.

Time flies. When everyone was preparing for the New Year, an explosive news came: war has broken out in the North.

In fact, during the period of national mourning, the Huns had already explored the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was a test of the military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The news of the war had been blocked until now, and only people in the imperial court knew about it. It was probably because the war was getting serious that it was spreading now.

Sure enough, news of increased taxes soon spread, but fortunately there was no news of forced conscription for the time being.

The former only means that supplies are needed, while the latter means that there are too many casualties on the front line and that able-bodied men have to be captured to serve as cannon fodder.
