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

Chapter 192

He thought that he had made the best move for Ye Xi in this game of chess.

He wanted to ensure that she would be honored and favored in the future without being oppressed, and he only hoped that Ye Xi could stay by his side forever.

When dawn was about to break, he climbed over the wall again and left while it was still dark.

Because there were still many things to deal with after the wedding, including accompanying Yao Yushu back to her parents' home, Wei Jue had not shown up in Yuexi Cottage for nearly half a month.

Ye Xi's house arrest had not been lifted in the past half month. She could not hear the people outside the courtyard praising the wedding. The servants knew about it but did not dare to say anything in front of her.

Ye Xi indifferently accepted the sympathetic looks from the maids, and she began to think about her future path.

She couldn't leave the capital for the time being, so she should do something in the capital.

Although she could not leave the house, the maidservants around her could.

So she asked Dongju to go to the bookstore and buy as many books about tool manufacturing, agricultural planting, and natural geography as possible.

Dong Ju naturally did as he was told. Wei Jue had never been harsh on Ye Xi in terms of money.

So Dongju worked very efficiently and quickly brought back all the books that Ye Xi wanted.

Ye Xi took a look and found that the books she wanted were not mainstream books, even though Dong Ju bought all the ones she could find.

The books on tools are nothing more than "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" and similar ones.

Agricultural planting is nothing more than introducing some crops and then noting which areas are suitable for planting them.

Books on physical geography are basically travelogues.

She glanced through them briefly, read carefully any parts that interested her, and took some notes.

When Wei Jue was finally able to get time off to visit Ye Xi, he discovered that she was reading books other than storybooks.

He was a little surprised. In his impression, Ye Xi read books for entertainment, and this kind of book had nothing to do with entertainment.

He flipped through it out of curiosity and found that Ye Xi had actually made comments in the blank spaces with great seriousness.

He rarely paid attention to whether Ye Xi's handwriting was ugly or not, but rather to the fact that he seemed unable to understand the words she wrote.

The strokes of her characters were very simple and she wrote them very smoothly, it didn't look like they were made up on the spur of the moment.

He read a few paragraphs and roughly understood the meaning by guessing. Just when he was about to ask a question, the book was taken away by Ye Xi.

"My Lord, you are newly married, why don't you stay with your lovely wife and come to read books with me?"

Ye Xi noticed him when he came in, but ignored him.

Unexpectedly, the other party didn't speak to her, but stared at her book for a long time.

There were her handwriting on the book. She knew her handwriting was ugly, and when he stared at her, she felt like she was showing her naked face in front of everyone, so she quickly took the book away.

Wei Jue originally wanted to ask what happened to this word, but after hearing what she said, he felt a little guilty, so he explained:

"I got married only because of family pressure, and she and I were not in love with each other.

Where does the idea of ​​staying together come from? Xi Niang, you are the one that Master loves."

After saying this, he carefully observed Ye Xi's reaction.

This was the first time they met after he got married. He knew that Ye Xi must be feeling uncomfortable, but he didn't know to what extent.

"Your Excellency, aren't you afraid of hurting Madam Wei's feelings by saying this? After all, she is your legal wife."

Ye Xi's tone was not very good. She didn't expect Wei Jue to be so ruthless to his own wife. Just because of family pressure, he ruined a girl's lifelong happiness.

But she thought about it and realized that she really had no position to sympathize with others.
