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

After sleeping until noon, I thought of Wei Ye while having dinner.

Not knowing whether he had eaten, she asked the maidservant beside her, "Is the child back?"

"Madam, no, Guard Gangyan sent someone back to say that the old master wanted to keep the young master over there for dinner, so we don't have to wait."

Ye Xi nodded.

After dinner, Ye Xi asked Mother Zhao to take her to find Wei Ye.

It's time for him to take a nap. He got up so early and played for so long.

Mother Zhao led the way. The Duke's Mansion was really big. Even though Ye Xi had been to the main house twice, he still didn't recognize the way.

In order to avoid violating any taboos, she was always taken care of by Mother Zhao, who was familiar with the Duke's Mansion.

I don’t know where she was walking, but Mother Zhao suddenly stopped.

Ye Xi was surprised. Just as she was about to speak, she heard something, so she listened carefully.

"Have you seen the Second Madam?"

"I saw her. She is a bit pretty, but she is not the kind that can make the Second Young Master so obsessed with her."

"I heard she is just the daughter of a humble family."

"So they are from a small family. No wonder they don't know any etiquette and don't even know how to greet the old man.

You kept the Madam waiting for so long, you really thought you had become a phoenix.”

"I also heard that she continued to sleep after she returned. That was really unruly."

"What's even more embarrassing is that she saw the young master actually said that he forgot to bring a gift, and even said that he and the second young master would give it together at the Hundred Days Banquet.

Whatever good things she can give, they must have been prepared by the Second Young Master for her."

When Mother Zhao heard the first few sentences, she wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Ye Xi.

She wanted to know what the maids in the noble families thought of her, which to a certain extent could reflect the acceptance of her in this place.

Didn't expect that she would give people such a bad impression? She thought that the more she spoke, the more mistakes she would make, so she tried not to speak at all, but the result was still unsatisfactory.

It seems that it is really not easy to marry into a wealthy family. No wonder my parents refused when they heard about Wei Jue's identity.

If my parents knew that Wei Jue's status was higher than what he said when he proposed marriage, they probably wouldn't be able to succeed.

"Drag these gossipers away and beat them to death."

A cold and familiar voice suddenly came from behind Ye Xi. She turned around and found it was Wei Jue.

He actually came back.

As soon as Wei Jue finished speaking, someone stood up behind him and dragged away the girls who were gossiping at the corner.

They were frightened when they heard the Second Young Master's voice, and then they saw several strong men coming to drag them away, so they quickly knelt down and tried to beg for mercy.

As a result, he was covered with his mouth and dragged away after only saying a few words.

Ye Xi felt that a few bad words said to him would not be enough to punish him, so he quickly stepped forward to comfort Wei Jue:

"The maids are still young and ignorant, so don't kill them. Just give them a few beatings to teach them a lesson."

Wei Jue looked at Ye Xi, then turned around and ordered the executioner to change the sentence of caning to twenty strokes of the cane, and then sell it out.

Ye Xi knew that this was Wei Jue’s bottom line and stopped trying to persuade him.

She quickly stepped forward and acted like a spoiled child: "Why are you back? Did you leave the court? Why didn't father and elder brother come back with you?"

The anger on Wei Jue's face dissipated a little, and he answered her questions one by one:

"I came back after I finished reporting on my work. My elder brother and father still have official business to attend to, so I came here to pay my respects to my grandfather first."

"Then let's go together. I'll go pick up Ye'er. The old man said that Ye'er will have dinner with him."

Wei Jue nodded.

After Ye Xi picked up the child, she originally wanted to go back to the yard with Wei Jue.

As a result, Wei Jue said that he had to leave for something and asked her to go back first, so she had no choice but to go back first.
