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

Chapter 130

"I saw you tie it around your waist and then left." Xia Mu replied.

Took it away? Still tied around his waist? She thought that the jade would not catch his eye.

For a person who is very particular about food, drink and other expenses, jade of this quality is useless.

I didn't expect that he not only accepted it, but also hung it around his waist. He wasn't afraid that others would see it and think he was down and out.

Ye Xi unconsciously touched the jade pendant hanging in her lapel, wondering when would be the right time to get it.

She thought about it. Wei Jue was very passionate about her and was watching her closely, so she couldn't leave. Besides, winter was coming soon. If she left at this time, she would probably freeze to death outside. She had to wait until winter was over before considering it.

However, she was able to succeed yesterday only because Liusu was not around. Xia Mu was easier to control, and Liusu was more cunning.

If Liusu came back to serve her one day, she was afraid that she would not be able to realize her plan easily.

She thought for a long time and came up with an idea in her mind. She did not go to the bookstore today and explained to Xia Mu that she was tired and would not go out today.

After that, she either went to the bookstore every other day or for several days in a row, giving others the impression that she really liked going to the bookstore and that her going times were not fixed.

After all, she went too far at the beginning, and suddenly stopping and not going at all would arouse suspicion.

She felt that her recent behavior was similar to that of a secret agent.

About a month later, she went to the Huilong Money House designated by Pei Zhu, using the excuse that she wanted to save money, opened an account there, and deposited some silver.

Naturally, this matter was not hidden from Wei Jue, and Wei Jue asked about it that day.

"I heard that you went to the bank today?" He asked casually.

"Well, there's no return if you keep money at home, but you can earn some interest if you put it in a bank." Ye Xi answered naturally, but her heart was beating very fast.

"What use is this little interest? If you need money, just tell me and I can help you with your expenses." Wei Jue felt puzzled because he never treated her badly.

"It's different. Besides, if we keep the money at home, what if it gets stolen? We have to keep it separate to feel at ease." Ye Xi said.

"..."Wei Jue suddenly froze because of the two words Ye Xi mentioned - home.

He never thought that he would hear these two words from her mouth. He always thought that she would not regard his home as "home". The shock in his heart was beyond words.

He could only keep staring at Ye Xi's face, trying to find some clues of lying from her face.

"Sir, why are you looking at me?" Ye Xi felt frightened by his stare.

"Xi Niang, do you really consider this place as your home?" Wei Jue suddenly stepped forward, tightly grasped Ye Xi's shoulders, and asked seriously.

"...Sir, you hurt me." Ye Xi was frightened by his strength. She was at a loss for a moment and struggled.

"Answer me." Wei Jue was angry at her lack of direct response and shouted.

"Sir, of course it's true." Ye Xi's voice trembled a little.

When Wei Jue saw Ye Xi's pale face and trembling voice, he suddenly felt that he had gone too far. He was confused. Why did their positions seem to be reversed?

Those who should have been hysterical are now very well-behaved, and those who should have been confident of victory are now full of doubts.

Was he too suspicious? Ye Xi looked like she had accepted her fate and stayed by his side obediently. Why did he feel that it was unreal?

He let go of Ye Xi's shoulders and left without saying a word, leaving Ye Xi with a puzzled look on her face.
