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

Chapter 110

After Ye Xi was sent back, she locked herself in the room. Douzi and Chuntao thought that Ye Xi was worried about Pei Zhu, so they took turns going to the door to persuade her, but Ye Xi did not respond.

Douzi felt that things were becoming complicated, so outside the door he suggested going to Hangzhou City and going to the Pei family to talk to Mr. Pei and ask him to help.

Ye Xi then responded to him, saying that the round trip would take a long time and she would find a way, and asked Douzi not to work on it for the time being. Douzi had no choice but to listen to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi locked herself in the room for a whole day and night without leaving the room.

During this period of time, she carefully considered what Wei Jue and Liusu said hundreds of times.

She had to admit that Liusu's words made sense. No matter what happened in the future, the most urgent task was to keep Pei Zhu alive.

What Wei Jue said was right. They were trapped in such a simple trap. To put it bluntly, it was because they were powerless and had no influence.

The next day, she finally came out of the room.

Chuntao and Douzi were both very worried. Ye Xi ate first and then asked Chuntao to prepare the bath.

After taking a bath, she went out again to the bookstore to find Liusu.

She asked Liusu to tell Wei Jue that she wanted to meet Pei Zhu alone and asked him to arrange it.

Liusu was very efficient and replied to Ye Xi on the same day, saying that the adults agreed, and handed a document to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was puzzled. When he opened it and saw the contents, his face turned pale. It was a divorce certificate.

The content has been drafted and even the names of both parties have been signed. It will take effect after only a private seal or fingerprint is stamped.

In ancient times, because many people were illiterate, many documents were not signed by the person themselves, but by someone else.

I only need to press my fingerprint on it, so literate people in ancient times had an additional skill to make a living, which is selling calligraphy, or to put it simply, writing letters and documents for others.

Ye Xi understood what Wei Jue meant. The reason why he agreed to let the two meet alone was to get the other party to sign the divorce agreement. It also indirectly expressed his meaning that he hoped this would be the last meeting between the two.

Ye Xi's tears could not help but flow out. Liu Su saw this and said, "My Lord said that everything has been arranged. It depends on when you want to see me. Just let me know when you are sure."

"…Then tomorrow."

Ye Xi originally wanted to say that today, she wanted to get Pei Zhu out as soon as possible so that he would suffer less.

But she knew that her behavior was seen as a sign of agreement by the other party, and the other party would surely not embarrass Pei Zhu in prison anymore.

And she hasn't figured out how to tell Pei Zhu.

That night, Ye Xi thought a lot. She went over again and again how to explain to Pei Zhu, and finally fell asleep with tears in her eyes.

When she got up the next day, she used a lot of rouge and powder for the first time.

Because she was very haggard, she didn't want Pei Zhu to see her like this and wanted to leave a good impression on him.

Ye Xi also wore a veiled hat and arrived at the yamen alone.

Unexpectedly, Liusu had already been waiting for her at the door. When she saw her coming, she asked in a low voice whether she had brought the divorce documents.

Ye Xi said nothing, but raised his left hand towards Liusu, with the document hidden under his wide sleeves.

Liusu also noticed that there was something hidden under the sleeve, although she was not sure whether it was the divorce documents.

However, she couldn't check it in public, so she just whispered, "The divorce documents today are extremely important, so make sure you don't make any mistakes."
