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

Chapter 276

The escort master has been escorting goods for many years and knows that the dilapidated temple is not safe and is a gathering place for evil spirits.

But the rain is so heavy that it doesn't seem to stop any time soon. If I don't take shelter from the rain and get drenched here, I'm afraid I'll get sick.

I thought that since they were many in number, nothing serious should happen, and it was a broad day.

Finally they all went to the ruined temple.

When they went in, there was already someone inside.

Ye Xi saw a noble lady wearing a veil holding a baby, and there were several people who looked like guards around her.

Ye Xi found it strange. A lady from a wealthy family would always have to bring a maid with her when traveling, but why were there only men around her?

If something happens, they will not be able to help. Isn't this the biggest taboo for wealthy families?

Ye Xi concluded that she was a noble lady because she was dressed in extraordinary clothes and her face was covered tightly, which showed that her family had strict rules.

But it is very strange that a family like this does not travel with a maid. Maybe they have something urgent to do.

Because she saw that the lady's shoes and hems were dirty with mud.

As she was looking at the other person, the lady seemed to be looking at her as well.

Ye Xi felt that the lady looked at her for a long time, which made her unhappy. However, she wondered if it was because she looked at her for a long time that the other party returned the favor?

She quickly turned her head and looked away.

Hongxiu and Jinling beside her both held handkerchiefs to wipe the rain off her, but she was still quite wet.

The weather in October was starting to get cooler and she was shivering a little.

Hongxiu quickly took out a cloak from the carriage and covered Ye Xi with it, but Ye Xi still couldn't avoid sneezing a few times.

"Miss, you seem to have caught a cold. Can you light a fire to keep warm?"

Jin Ling asked the escort next to her, and the escort looked around and shook his head.

“It’s raining outside and we can’t even light a fire with firewood, and we can’t use the temple table to burn it.

Otherwise, let the young lady go to the corner and change out of her wet clothes before putting on her cloak."

"That's good, but here..."

"We will stand in a circle with our backs to the young lady, and you can just use your cloak to cover yourself. We should act according to the emergency."

"it is good."

There was quite a bit of noise on their side, but the guards on the noble lady's side just stared at them, without saying anything or moving.

The leading escort had been observing the lady. He felt something was strange but couldn't put his finger on it.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his expression changed abruptly, but he still pretended to be calm, his eyes fixed on the sky outside the temple.

After sitting for only a short while, the leader of the escorts came over and said to Ye Xi, "Miss, the rain has subsided. We still have to hurry on our way. Let's set off immediately."

After hearing this, Ye Xi looked at the sky outside. Although the rain was lighter than before, it was not a good time to travel.

This situation had happened on the road before, but the leader did not choose to travel at this time.

What is the difference between before and now?

Ye Xi unconsciously glanced at the noble lady, then turned to look outside the temple.

Their carriage was standing conspicuously outside the temple, and suddenly she felt her hair stand on end.

Something was wrong. How could that noble lady, who was dressed so elegantly and had a baby with her, not even have a carriage?

Not only was there no carriage, she didn't even see a horse. This didn't fit the logic of a noble person going out.

Thinking of the lady's dirty skirt, she felt that there was something fishy going on here.

The leader probably also saw this problem and didn't want to get into trouble.

"Okay, let's hurry up and don't delay any more. Let's go."

Ye Xi spoke to Hongxiu and Jinling. Hongxiu was unhappy, but she just curled her lips and said nothing. Jinling was always obedient.
