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

Chapter 255

Ye Xi divided the work between the two. Hongxiu was mainly responsible for taking care of her daily life, while Jin Ling was responsible for protecting her safety.

When going out normally, Ye Xi doesn’t have to take them with her, as her goal is to travel in two months.

She has more than twenty branches in the Great Zhou Dynasty, mainly distributed in large cities with large populations.

Every quarter she would ask the shopkeepers to send her a copy of the account book, and every year the shopkeepers would report to her in person with the account book.

In the past, these events were held in the capital, but this year they will be held in Hangzhou.

However, the main reason she wanted to travel was to see what the outside world was like and whether she could truly realize her ideals.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi thought of Ashan again.

Yuexi House in the capital had always been under her name. When she left, she had thought that she would never go back and wanted to get rid of the house.

But when he thought about the fact that Ah Shan had not returned yet, and what if he couldn't find her when he came back, he left a middle-aged couple to guard the house.

If Ashan comes back, she will bring him the new information so that he can find her.

It has been four months since she came back, and Ashan has been gone for three or four years and has not returned yet. She is worried that something really happened to him.

While Ye Xi was worried about Ah Shan, she also had to prepare for the trip, so she was very busy recently.

That day, Madam Ye asked someone to invite her to the main hall. She didn't know what was going on. When she saw the person standing in front of her, her eyes were filled with tears.

I didn't expect that the person I had been thinking about for a while would appear in front of me without any warning.

The other person has become darker, thinner, and taller. Now he is a real man.

"Ashan and his sister have come to see the young lady. Thank you for your generous help and care along the way."

Ah Shan said with a smile, showing his white teeth, and Ah Shan's sister also followed suit and saluted.

"I thought you...just came back, just came back."

Ye Xi looked Ah Shan up and down like a mother whose child had returned from a long journey, "Are you hurt?"

"It's all ready. This time I came here to have a good talk with the young lady."

Ah Shan spoke to Ye Xi, but his eyes were on Mrs. Ye.

Mrs. Ye knew that they wanted to discuss business matters, so she called Ashan's sister and let them go about their business.

Ye Xi brought the person to the study. After her brother moved to the house next door, the study became Ye Xi's territory.

This is where she usually conducts her business and tinkers with the maps she compiles.

Ah Shan looked around Ye Xi's study room curiously and found that apart from books, there were account books and some maps.

Seeing the map, Ah Shan raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Xi, without any of the respect he had shown in the lobby just now, as if the two of them were good friends.

Ye Xi felt that Ashan had changed a lot. A few years ago, he still had some boyish childishness.

Now he is a real man, exuding the aura of an adult man.

Seeing Ah Shan's eyes fixed on the map, Ye Xi picked it up and handed it to Ah Shan. "I just drew it for fun when I had nothing to do."

Ah Shan took the map, glanced at it first, and then his expression suddenly changed.

After carefully reading some of the notes inside, he looked at Ye Xi with complicated eyes and said:

"Miss, this map must have taken a lot of effort. You can't let outsiders see it casually, or they will think you are a spy."

Ye Xi was stunned. She felt that this map was nothing in modern times. There was nothing related to state secrets on it. It just marked the climate and terrain of various places.
