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

Chapter 167

"Liu Su arrived after the housekeeper, and is now kneeling outside."

Xue Jiu said, in fact, it was not just Liusu, almost all the servants in Ye Xi's yard, except Xia Mu, were kneeling outside.

"Hmph, they are all just deceiving their superiors and subordinates. Drag them all out. The men will be given thirty strokes of the cane and the women will be given twenty strokes of the cane. We will teach them a good lesson." Wei Jue said with a dark face.

"Yes."

Doctor Wang finally arrived and said that Ye Xi fainted mainly because of poor diet. It was not suitable to take medicine during the New Year, so he asked her to eat more supplements and easy-to-digest porridge to nourish herself.

"What's going on?" Wei Jue asked Xia Mu with a bad look on his face.

"Sir, the girl's diet has been poor since the second month since you came.

At first, we had to eat cold leftovers, and then we had to eat stale rice and stale vegetables. Recently, almost everything is stale and we can’t pick out the good ones to eat.

The girl doesn't eat much to begin with, and she's been sick lately, how can she endure this?"

As Xia Mu spoke, he began to wipe away his tears.

Only then did Wei Jue realize that those servants had even treated Ye Xi harshly in terms of food.

He glared at Xia Mu: "If she doesn't tell you, you don't know how to go find someone, right?"

"I went to look for them, and they all said that the girl would be kicked out of the house sooner or later, so there was no need for her to eat well and use good things, and it would be a waste." Xia Mu burst into tears after being yelled at by Wei Jue.

"You're such a blockhead, why don't you come to me?" Wei Jue was so disappointed in his friend.

"I...I don't dare! Wuuu~" Xia Mu cried out of fear.

"You!" Wei Jue was furious.

Xue Jiu, who was standing aside, knew that he shouldn't find it funny at this moment, but he almost couldn't help it.

Although he could understand the adults' anger, he also found this silly girl funny.

In fact, he could understand the adults' tolerance towards this girl, not only because she was young, but also because of her dedication in serving Miss Ye.

"Hurry up and make some ginseng soup. Prepare all the best supplements for this period of time so that Xi Niang can recover as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xia Mu replied while wiping tears and sniffing his nose.

"I didn't tell you, go get some warm clothes and change into them when Xi Niang wakes up. What are you wearing?"

Wei Jue was worried about the girl going to the kitchen. Who would take care of Ye Xi when she woke up? He was worried about the others.

The servant girl standing further away heard what was said and knew that it was directed at her, so she went downstairs to prepare.

After the ginseng soup arrived, Wei Jue helped Ye Xi up and fed her the soup, being very careful, fearing that he would break her with too much force.

He didn't know whether Ye Xi regretted this matter, but he regretted it.

She just had a stubborn temper. He had seen it before, but he just didn't believe it. This time, she would rather eat rotten rice and get frostbite than give in to him.

Xia Mu is a fool, but she is not. If she was willing to put in the effort and teach Xia Mu what to do, she would not be able to overcome such difficulties and would have to bear it herself.

The meaning is very clear, that is, he is unwilling to bow to him.

If neither of them bows their heads, things will easily get into trouble. She doesn't care about herself, but he cares about her.

Anyway, she is by his side, so why not he give in a little? She is living a good life, so he should be happy, right?

Why did it have to be this desperate? It was all my fault that I figured it out too late, causing her to suffer in vain and wasting so much time.

After feeding Ye Xi the ginseng soup, he asked someone to heat the food up at the stove so that she could enjoy it immediately after she woke up.

He asked everyone else to go down, and he sat alone beside the couch, quietly watching over Ye Xi.

This New Year's Day was not as lively as last year, but it also made him feel at ease, because by staying by Ye Xi's side, all the boredom and anxiety of yesterday disappeared without a trace.
