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

Chapter 254

Because Ye Xin still had to be on duty, he went back to the yamen after the two of them finished talking.

Pei Zhu wandered around the street for a long time. He looked around all the time, hoping to see Ye Xi, but he was disappointed.

Ye Xi had been following Pei Zhu for some time, making herself act like a stalker.

Later, he felt that his behavior was a bit rash. It would be fine if he was discovered by someone, but he was afraid that it would cause gossip to Pei Zhu.

The reason she didn't look for Pei Zhu recently wasn't because her obsession had dissipated, but because she had suppressed it, and then something not too big or small happened.

After she returned to Hangzhou City, there was no one to serve her.

After she left, Chuntao came back to take care of her mother. When she reached age, her mother arranged for her to marry off.

She wanted to buy herself two maids, so she was very worried.

Because what she wanted was a girl who knew some martial arts skills, so that she could take care of her daily life and protect herself.

She is different now than before. In the past, she only needed to live at home.

Now she needs to be in public and occasionally go to distant places for inspection.

Although you can consider hiring a bodyguard every time, it is still better to have one or two regular people around you.

She thought of Xue Jiu. If she had a person like him around her, she could feel at ease wherever she went.

In the end, she decided that she shouldn't daydream.

Her worry was written all over her face. Ye Xin saw it and asked curiously. Ye Xi then told Ye Xin her thoughts.

When Ye Xin heard this, he said he would help her find out, so he went back to the yamen and looked for his colleague who was a patrol officer.

He asked them if they knew any maid who knew some martial arts and was willing to be a maid, and said that the monthly salary would be generous.

This kind of girl is really hard to find, and Ye Xin found her half a month later.

A patrolman came to Ye Xin and said that he had a distant relative who worked in a security company. The family had a daughter who had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had followed her father on several escort missions.

But the other party's father didn't want his daughter to take such risks again. When he heard that someone was looking for a girl who knew martial arts, he wanted his daughter to be a guard.

Ye Xi was definitely happy to hear that someone was willing to come, but from what her brother said, the other person should be quite old.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that the other party was 20 years old and still unmarried, apparently due to family reasons.

Ye Xi thought that as long as the other party was willing, it would be helpful for a while, so she accepted the meeting.

The visitor was a dark-skinned, square-faced girl named Jin Ling.

Maybe because of his martial arts training, the opponent is quite tall, especially his arms, which are quite strong.

Ye Xi understood that one of the reasons why Jin Ling was still unmarried was probably because of her appearance.

The Zhou Dynasty liked pretty and fair-skinned girls, but Jin Ling's appearance was totally different from the popular ones.

Ye Xi asked a few questions, which were nothing more than name, age, whether one had travel experience, things to pay attention to when traveling and staying at accommodation, etc., mainly focusing on issues related to future travel safety.

Jin Ling's reply seemed experienced, and there were some things that should be paid attention to that even Ye Xi had not thought of.

Ye Xi was very satisfied, and the two parties signed a contract with a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. After all, he was risking his life, so the salary should be more generous.

Jin Ling moved into the house arranged by Ye Xi of the Ye family. Inside the house, she met another maid who lived in the same room with her.

After chatting with her, I learned that the girl in the same room was called Hong Xiu, fourteen years old. She was seen by Ye Xi when she was selling herself on the street to bury her father, and then bought by Ye Xi to serve him.

Hongxiu is different from Jinling. Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, she looks like she is twelve years old at the age of fourteen. She is short and thin, but her facial features are very delicate.

Jin Ling is a rough person, but she likes Hong Xiu very much, so she treats Hong Xiu as her own sister.
