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

Chapter 161

After listening to the discussion around him, Ye Xi finally understood the whole story and was convinced that the person in front of him was indeed Pei Zhu.

Her face turned pale, and she suddenly turned to look at Wei Jue.

Wei Jue drank his tea calmly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

In fact, this was indeed Wei Jue's work. He had been brooding over it ever since the last time Ye Xi and Pei Zhu met.

He was worried that if he let Pei Zhu go in the future, if Ye Xi disappeared again one day, she might go looking for him, and then the two of them would hide and live together somewhere he couldn't see.

After racking his brains, he finally came up with what he thought was a good idea, which was to clear Pei Zhu of the charges first. Instead of driving him to a place where he couldn't be seen, it would be better to keep him in sight and then force him to marry.

Didn't Ye Xi even despise the position of his concubine? The reason why she was obsessed with Pei Zhu was that she was still fantasizing about going back to be his wife.

Then he would cut off her retreat, he didn't believe she could still be the other party's concubine.

In order to eliminate the possibility of Pei Zhu divorcing his wife and remarrying, he also specifically asked Yang Jian to look for a suitable woman for marriage.

The daughter of the Wu family who was chosen had only one relative, her sick father, and no brothers, sisters, or other relatives.

Wu's father had been ill for a long time and his time was coming to an end. Once Wu's father passed away, Wu's daughter would have no brothers or clan members to rely on, and would become one of the "wives who cannot be divorced." [1]

Pei Zhu will be tied to each other for the rest of his life, completely cutting off any possibility between Ye Xi and Pei Zhu.

Ye Xi and Pei Zhu were unaware of what he was thinking.

Pei Zhu also saw Ye Xi and Wei Jue. He had just picked up the bride and discovered them shortly after entering the house.

Wei Jue's table was really too eye-catching. Their outstanding looks alone were enough to attract everyone's attention. Plus, there was Yang Jian, who everyone wanted to get close to, so it was hard for Pei Zhu not to notice them.

He really didn't expect Ye Xi to be there. Not long after Ye Xi visited him in the courtyard where he was under house arrest last time, Yang Jian came.

The other party brought a life-saving message, saying that Wei Jue gave him two choices, either to die bravely, or to agree to marry a girl and leave here safely.

Pei Zhu was not stupid. Why would he hesitate about such a choice? He decisively chose the second one.

Then he went through the same trial again. The difference was that this time the arguments were all in his favor.

In the end, he was rehabilitated and received compensation, and he hastily held his wedding banquet just a few days after being released.

If I didn't understand the purpose of this arrangement at the beginning, what else could I not understand after meeting Ye Xi?

The other party simply wants Ye Xi to give up on him, which also shows that he is not confident in himself, so he has to use this method to make both parties give up.

It's really a vicious move.

No matter how much he complained in his heart, he still had to go through the necessary procedures. With a pale face, Pei Zhu and the bride with a veil completed the wedding process in front of Ye Xi.

When the words "send her to the bridal chamber" were heard, everyone present, except a few people who knew the truth, started to make a noise.

Throughout the whole process, the bride had a red face, Pei Zhu and Ye Xi had pale faces, and Wei Jue had a dark face.

Only Yang Jian watched the show with great interest, but of course he did not dare to be too blatant, after all, his distant cousin had a bad temper.

Yang Jian didn't expect that his distant cousin could go to such lengths for a woman. He had sent many beautiful women to him before, but he had never seen Wei Jue be so attentive.

Now, they have made such a fuss just for a divorced woman. If the Duke knew about this, I don't know how much trouble it would cause.
