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

Chapter 398

Hearing this, Ye Xi felt relieved. This meant that the guards protecting her should not be in danger of their lives. The only thing she didn't know was whether Lin Yan and the others were safe.

I hope they are okay, I hope they can go back to find those guards who still have hope of survival, and I hope to minimize the death toll.

"Oh, why are you crying? Wipe your tears quickly." He Hua was a little flustered when she saw Ye Xi suddenly burst into tears after hearing what she said.

"Nothing, thank you."

"You're welcome, you're a distinguished guest."

Ye Xi's heart moved: "Why do you say that?"

"My husband said that the boss asked me to take care of you. All the kitchen work has been handed over to other people. If you are not a distinguished guest, then what are you?"

Lotus said with a smile, very honest.

Ye Xi smiled bitterly. After she drank the medicine, she found that her bladder was very full, but she couldn't move.

It hurt so much when she moved that she embarrassedly told Hehua that she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Hehua understood very well and immediately made arrangements for her to make it convenient for her.

Afterwards, seeing that her face had turned pale, He Hua asked her to continue resting while she went to do other things.

Ye Xi was tormented by this whole process of going to the toilet. She endured the pain and thought that she should drink less water, take medicine, and reduce the number of times she went to the toilet, otherwise she would be in so much pain.

Ye Xi had nothing to do and since he couldn't fall asleep for the time being, he began to analyze his current situation.

Before she was caught, the robbers said they wanted to exchange her for a ransom because they knew she was the owner of Xinwei Restaurant. This logic makes sense.

After being arrested, the so-called boss said that she was injured and it was difficult to explain to others. Who should the other party explain to?

This matter is very strange. If he was after money, the most important thing to ensure is her personal safety, and there should be no need to explain it to anyone else.

Moreover, kidnapping requires some skills. Generally, the host's family members are kidnapped. The best candidates are children, followed by partners and parents. How can one directly kidnap the host?

It is not a good idea to ask for too much. After all, everyone knows that the person who can mobilize the most money is the boss, and the others are just making small moves.

Either the kidnappers are not familiar with the business, or they have small ambitions, or there is another hidden agenda.

Ye Xi tended to the last possibility, because from the tone of the boss, it seemed that her life safety was more important than his explanation to "others".

Who wants to capture her? Why? What role does Qingfeng Village play?

Unable to figure it out, Ye Xi felt very uncomfortable and fell asleep again in a daze.

The letter in which Ye Xi was arrested and ten thousand gold coins were demanded was delivered to the owner of Xinwei Restaurant in the capital.

The shopkeeper's hands couldn't help shaking when he received the letter. The person in charge, Qin Song, left with the boss.

The boss had something going on, and Qin Song probably couldn't escape either. For a moment, the shopkeeper who received the letter didn't know what to do.

Later, he immediately thought that he should send the letter to Yuexi Cottage, where there might be someone in charge living, so he could only cooperate in mobilizing the ransom.

As soon as the shopkeeper's letter was delivered to Yuexi Cottage, there was an uproar there.

Ever since Yan Wu was assigned to Ye Xi by Wei Jue, he has become the manager here. He is in charge of everything when Xue Jiu is not around.

As soon as he saw the contents of the letter, he knew something bad was going to happen. He first told the shopkeeper to collect all the ransom he could, and he would ask the adults for the rest.

Although Your Excellency is not short of silver, 10,000 gold is not a small sum. Even if Your Excellency can take it out all at once, you have to be cautious about it, for fear that your political enemies will seize the opportunity to impeach you in the future.
