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

Chapter 180

Wei Jue changed his mind and decided that there was no need to worry. As long as Ye Xi stayed in the capital, he would sooner or later see the power of the Duke's Mansion.

He felt relieved when he thought that she would probably have to come back and beg him for help.

"According to your."

He told Xue Jiu to take a detour to the best inn in the capital, Wei Yu Tower, and settle Ye Xi down before returning home.

Ye Xi successfully moved into Weiyu Tower. Wei Jue left behind Yan Wu, one of his more capable guards, and asked him to stay with a team to protect Ye Xi's safety.

Seeing Ye Xi turn around and go back to her room without any reluctance, his heart was burning with anger.

According to the rules, he should first go to the palace to meet the emperor before returning home, but when he came back, the palace gate had been locked, so he handed in the note and went in before returning home.

On the way back to the Duke's Mansion, Wei Jue told Xue Jiu to find a quiet house as soon as possible, buy it, and put it in Ye Xi's name.

All the servants and housekeepers were prepared, and Ye Xi was allowed to move in as soon as possible. It was not appropriate for her to live in an inn with so many people.

Originally, he deliberately didn't make arrangements in advance in order to trick her into staying at the Duke's Mansion, but as a result, he not only failed to trick her but also ended up sending her to a place like an inn.

When he returned to the Duke's Mansion, Uncle Lin, the housekeeper, was already waiting for him at the gate.

In fact, they should have waited at the city gate. Wei Jue was worried that his grandfather would be alarmed and Ye Xi would not be able to enter the Duke's Mansion, so he asked Uncle Lin to meet her in front of the gate.

In this way, he could let Ye Xi enter the house first, and then persuade his grandfather later.

At this point, the words he had originally used to persuade his grandfather were no longer useful. He only needed to go and visit his grandfather as he had done in the past.

"Grandfather, your grandson is back!" Wei Jue knelt down in front of Wei Yuan as soon as he entered the door.

"Good boy, get up quickly and let grandpa have a good look at you." Wei Yuan also missed him very much. He hadn't seen his grandson for more than two years.

"Grandpa is in good spirits. I brought him some gifts." Wei Jue presented the treasures he had collected to his grandfather.

"Okay, okay." Wei Yuan smiled from ear to ear.

Although my grandson hasn't been around for the past two years, he has always given me gifts during the holidays, which makes me very happy.

After the two grandfather and grandson exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wei Yuan asked seriously, "Did you find the object?"

Wei Dezhong's heart trembled, and he shook his head: "No, I have searched all over Suzhou in the past two years, but I haven't seen any trace of him. However, the people I sent out are still looking for him."

Wei Yuan pondered for a while and said, "If we can't find it, that's fine. But we must get rid of all the people who know about it. We can't let anyone know that the item has been in our Wei family's hands."

"My grandson obeys your command."

After that, Wei Jue did one thing. He asked Xue Jiu to send people to kill all the people who knew about the incident and had been scattered out to look for the object, including Liusu.

Wei Jue did come back on time. The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival, which was normally a time for vacation, but he still went to the palace to meet the emperor with gifts.

In fact, whether or not he could see His Majesty at this time was not important at all, as long as His Majesty knew that he put His Majesty first.

The emperor actually found time to meet him. He first asked about Wei Jue's political achievements in the Liangjiang area, then expressed his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism for the Duke's Mansion, and finally accepted Wei Jue's gift and returned the gift.

His Majesty's special care for the Wei family is not only because of the Wei family's contributions, but also because the deceased old man of the Wei family was the teacher of the current emperor, of course, in terms of martial arts.

When the emperor followed our ancestors to conquer the world, the old man of the Wei family was designated by our ancestors as the emperor's martial arts master.

Wei Yuan was about the same age as the emperor. By Wei Jue's generation, his elder brother followed his father to guard the border, while Wei Jue became the companion of the crown prince's son, the little grandson of the emperor.

He was said to be a study companion, but in fact he was left in the capital as a hostage.

After Wei Jue passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he changed his identity and continued to stay in the palace. Finally, he was spared from the role of hostage because his father and brother died for the country and he was pitied by the emperor.
