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

Chapter 185

"Xi Niang, it was so beautiful just now!" Wei Jue added, as if explaining his behavior just now.

But Ye Xi didn't buy it. He must have something wrong, as a woman should be aware of. However, she didn't care, so she didn't ask any further questions.

After Wei Jue finished speaking, seeing that Ye Xi didn't respond, he suddenly became a little angry, picked her up and walked towards the inner room.

Ye Xi was no longer surprised and simply threw the slingshot in his hand onto the table.

But Wei Jue's abnormal behavior had just begun. In the inner room, Wei Jue tormented her with a rare violent temper.

He hasn't been like this for a long time. He used to be like this because he was angry with Pei Zhu.

He has never been like this since Pei Zhu remarried.

Today she asked herself if she had made him angry, and she had not even left the house for some time, so there should be no reason for him to be unhappy.

She became even more certain that something must have happened to him, so she didn't ask anything and just suppressed her tears and waited for him to finish.

Normally, when she couldn't bear it anymore, she would cry and beg him, and if he was happy, he would speed up and release her.

But today she lost her temper and refused to beg for mercy, and finally fainted from exhaustion.

Wei Jue stopped only after he found that she had no reaction, and then quickly asked someone to call a doctor.

He quickly got up and dressed, then took the wet handkerchief from the maid and wiped her sweat.

After putting clothes on her, I sat by the bed and looked at her, and my thoughts suddenly went back to three days ago.

That day, when he returned home from court, his uncle Lin told him that his grandfather wanted to see him, so he went to see his grandfather.

When Wei Yuan saw him, he handed him a stack of drawing papers and told him that they contained portraits of ladies from famous families.

The blank space in the portrait contains not only the other person's name, but also an introduction to his or her family background.

"Our Wei family is dwindling, and you are old enough. It's time for you to expand the Wei family.

These women are all of equal social status to ours. You should first marry the mistress and give birth to a legitimate son, and then you can take in a few concubines.

Let the Wei family prosper and have a lively home, so that I, the old man, can be happy too."

Wei Yuan said so.

Wei Jue felt something was wrong as soon as he saw those drawing papers, and it turned out to be just as he expected.

The first thing he thought about was what would happen to Ye Xi if he got married? How would she react if she knew?

He didn't even realize that his heart was beating faster and his hands were sweating, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being discovered by his elders.

I didn't react for a long time.

"Jue'er?" Wei Yuan asked in surprise when he saw that Wei Jue had no reaction.

"Grandfather, this matter is not urgent."

Just as he opened his mouth, he felt something was wrong. He was already twenty-six years old and could not be considered young. But Wei Yuan interrupted him before he could open his mouth.

"Why not? You are not a child anymore. If not... you should have children around you by now."

He understood what Wei Yuan had not yet expressed. After he passed the imperial examination, he first entered the Hanlin Academy. At that time, he had just started his official career and had no intention of getting married.

Later, his father and brother passed away, and he mourned for his father for three years.

After his reinstatement, he joined the army and was stationed in various places. Later, he was transferred back to Beijing to serve as the Minister of War. Before he could even get comfortable in the position, he was transferred to Suzhou City.

"The reason why I persuaded His Majesty to transfer you back this time is to arrange your marriage and expand the Wei family as soon as possible.

The current situation is unclear, and I'm afraid there will be more turmoil in the future. If anything happens to you, the Wei family will be defeated.

This matter must be settled as soon as possible. After you make your choice, your grandfather will propose marriage and you will be welcomed into the family in the early spring of next year.

If things go well, by the end of next year, grandpa should be able to hold his great-grandson in his arms."

Wei Yuan said.
