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

Chapter 418

Ye Xi did not walk around, but found a quiet place to sit.

She pondered the conversation between Wei Jue and Yao Yushu. Although it was not explained very clearly, she still captured the key information.

She had always been curious about who was behind the kidnapping in Mocheng. Wei Jue said that they were just bandits who took risks to gain wealth and had been wiped out by him, so she did not ask any more questions.

Today, Fang realized that Yao Yushu was the mastermind behind this. No wonder Wei Jue did not explain the matter to her in detail, as he did so in order to protect her.

What Yao Yushu meant was that Wei Jue actually knew her plan a long time ago, replaced her people, used her plan to accomplish his own things, and invisibly took advantage of her.

Ye Xi didn’t know what Wei Jue was trying to accomplish, but she finally understood why the “robbers” that day treated her so politely.

Not only did he not make things difficult for her, he also let the doctor treat her injuries and was even worried that he would not be able to explain to the client.

If the client was Wei Jue, all this could be explained.

Originally, she felt very guilty for being injured because Wei Jue saved her, but now it seems that the other party's injury has nothing to do with her, and her injury was probably beyond the other party's expectations.

She didn't know who Wei Jue was going to deal with, and in the end she got herself involved. She probably fell into someone else's trap because of a mistake.

Wei Jue knew that the person pretending to be him was not himself, so why was he not on guard?

She didn't understand the tricks here, nor did she want to understand. At least the guilt in her heart disappeared completely.

She was still somewhat afraid of her own life and death. If things were out of his control, she would have died long ago. She was lucky to have survived with only injuries.

While she was thinking about this, she heard someone greeting her.

"Girl An."

It’s Lin Yan.

Ye Xi thought that it was Lin Yan who led the team to escort her to Mo City, and she wondered what role Lin Yan played in this plan.

If she knew this already and made it look so realistic, it can only be said that she has good acting skills.

He was also willing to watch so many of his companions die in front of him just to complete the mission.

She really wanted to ask, but she stopped herself. What would it matter if she asked?

The dead cannot be resurrected, and if that was her master's wish, she might face a more miserable fate if she didn't do it.

Ye Xi found that he had no right to question the other party.

Suddenly there was some noise around them.

Ye Xi looked over and found an old man with white hair and a youthful face standing not far away and greeting some guards.

Seeing how the guards were quite respectful to the old gentleman, Ye Xi felt that he must be a very important person.

"Who is that old gentleman?" Ye Xi asked Lin Yan.

"Miss, he is the master who is responsible for training guards for adults. He is called Mr. Liao, and his subordinates were also trained by Mr. Liao." Lin Yan explained.

"So he has been under your command for a long time, but I don't think I've seen him before."

"It's been a long time. Mr. Liao has been following the Duke since he was young.

He seldom comes to the Duke's Mansion, and you... haven't stayed in the Duke's Mansion much before, so it's normal that you haven't seen him."

Lin Yan felt a little embarrassed when explaining.

"I see."

This little episode passed just like that. Ye Xi never expected that one day she would discover a secret because of the appearance of this old man.

When Ye Xi returned to Tingfeng Garden, Wei Jue was just about to make medicine.

His illness has become more serious. Now, in addition to taking medicine three times a day, he has to soak in a medicinal formula to relieve the toxicity. He is suffering a lot.

Ye Xi paused for a moment before stepping forward to serve.
