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

Chapter 224

He actually had a lot of things to do today. After he had arranged the affairs in the mansion, he also had to deal with the affairs of the court.

He came to see Ye Xi during his free time, but Ye Xi was hiding in the study.

After he came to Yuexi Cottage today, he always felt that something was wrong here, but he couldn't see it.

So he suspected that his wild thoughts were caused by Ye Xi's neglect of him.

After he walked back and forth in the yard several times, he realized that Ye Xi didn't want to pay attention to him today, so he prepared to leave.

When he was almost at the gate, he stopped suddenly, and a light suddenly exploded in his mind.

He finally remembered what was wrong in this yard.

All the toys belonging to the children are gone!

In the past, because Wei Xuan was around, his toys were scattered all over the yard and the house.

Now all these items are gone, not a single one!

Wei Jue knew exactly what Ye Xi meant. She was blaming him as if she had lost the child!

Wei Jue couldn't help but get furious when he realized this. He turned around and wanted to go back to question Ye Xi.

He wanted to ask her if she hated or resented him, but he stopped after taking a few steps.

He didn't dare, because he had anticipated how Ye Xi would attack him, and he didn't dare to face it...

After being stunned for a long while, he turned around again and walked out of the door of Yuexi Cottage.

The wind blew the corners of his clothes, making a rustling sound, but his back looked very lonely, not as majestic as before.

Wei Yuan noticed all the changes in Wei Jue. One day, Wei Yuan called Wei Jue to the study and gave him a lecture.

Wei Jue was still thinking about what his grandfather said until he left.

“What happened to Ye Er is indeed a pity, but don’t we all have to look forward?

When your father and brother passed away, your grandfather was much more sad than you are now. Don't they want to live?"

"But a woman makes you so uneasy?

Even if she is being naughty now, you hold great power, so are you afraid that she will fly out of your palm? "

"Jue'er, you can only grab what you have in your hands.

I don't need to tell you what she would do if you were a mediocre person."

The last sentence was really heart-wrenching. Ye Xi had always been unwilling to obey him.

After what happened to Wei Xuan, she probably hates him even more now.

He felt that his grandfather was right. If he had nothing, Ye Xi would also leave him.

Only by holding power firmly in his hands can he get everything he wants.

After he figured it out, he changed his recent decadence and returned to his previous efficiency, completing the tasks assigned by the emperor even more outstandingly.

For a moment, it seemed as if I had returned to the person I was a few years ago.

The night was as cool as water. Wei Jue had just stepped out of the famous fireworks place in the capital. After getting on the carriage, he told the driver to go to Yuexi Cottage.

In recent days, he would come out from here every night. Recently, many local officials came to Beijing to report on their work, and social engagements were inevitable.

In the past, he would return to the Duke's Mansion after coming out, but tonight, he missed her.

When Wei Jue stepped into the backyard, Ye Xi had already fallen asleep.

Wei Jue asked someone to prepare hot water for him. He took a bath first before getting on Ye Xi's bed.

He knew that Ye Xi didn't like the smell of alcohol on him, so he consciously washed himself before getting on the bed.

He crawled into the bed and went straight to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi had already fallen asleep. She vaguely heard some noises, but she ignored them and continued to sleep.

Not long after, she felt someone lifting her quilt, and then a cool and damp air invaded the bed.

She couldn't help but shudder, feeling something was wrong, and was suddenly awakened by the fright.
