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

Chapter 338

Ye Xi waited until Wei Jue was willing to release the person and then went home directly, and then asked someone to send a letter to Qin Song.

His words were full of apologies. Qin Song had been waiting for Ye Xi but she never showed up, which made the guest unhappy. After trying to appease the guest to no avail, he had to watch the guest leave.

Then he ran to the Ye family to find Ye Xi, but the Ye family said that Ye Xi was not there and they didn't know where she had gone. He was very anxious.

He could only go back to Xinwei Restaurant and wait. He finally received a letter from Ye Xi. He was relieved to know that she couldn't come because she was not feeling well.

Although it is a pity to miss this distinguished guest, nothing is more important than the safety of the host.

Ye Xi told him in her letter that he should continue to wait for news and that she would come to see him when she got better, so he could only wait for news in the store.

Ye Xi didn't know that he had invisibly avoided a disaster.

In the government office in Hangzhou City, Xue Jiu was reporting something to Wei Jue.

"My lord, I heard that some of the Third Prince's subordinates are taking the Third Prince's orphan to recruit soldiers and horses everywhere, preparing to make a comeback.

Recently, they have been in contact with the owner of Xinwei Restaurant. I heard that they want to win over the other party and make them their helper. "

Wei Jue frowned after hearing this. The owner of Xinwei Restaurant was Ye Xi.

He remembered one thing. When he was pestering Ye Xi that day, he heard her mention that she had an important date. Could it be that she was going to meet the other party?

"The Third Prince has an orphan?"

Wei Jue remembered that the secret agent he had placed beside the late emperor had reported something.

When they hunted the Third Prince for the first time, there was a pregnant woman beside him. When they hunted him for the second time, the woman was not seen and only the Third Prince was caught.

Later, the woman was caught again, but it seemed that she had already given birth to the child and the child was not with her.

That woman was willing to die for the Third Prince, so the child must be his.

Wei Jue thought it necessary to explain clearly to Ye Xi and not let her accept investment from other people casually to avoid getting into trouble.

Speaking of the fact that after the Third Prince was executed, his remnants still had the energy to make trouble, simply because the Crown Prince's background was in doubt.

There has long been a story circulating among the people that the biological mother of the current emperor was once given away by the late emperor to someone else, and was later taken back.

The current emperor was born less than ten months after his biological mother returned, so his origin is questionable.

The late emperor had few children. The second prince died of illness a few years ago, and many of the other princes died before they reached adulthood or became disabled.

Therefore, the only person who can compete with the Crown Prince for the throne is the Third Prince.

"Instruct all the secret agents to find the Third Prince's orphan. Once the orphan is found, we will catch all the remaining gang members in one fell swoop.

Don't act rashly before you find it, so as not to alert the enemy." Wei Jue ordered.

"Yes."

Xue Jiu retreated upon receiving the order.

In fact, there is another reason why Wei Jue does not want to touch the remnants of the Third Prince for the time being, and that is the attitude of the current emperor towards the Wei family.

If the emperor still has murderous intentions towards the Wei family, then he will kill with a borrowed knife and use those remnants to clear the way for him.

When the time comes, a child from the royal family will be promoted to the throne and he will be the regent.

If the situation is still not ideal in the future, he might as well send Ye'er to that position.

It was two days later that Ye Xi saw Wei Jue again. She felt that the frequency of their meetings was a bit too high.

Just when she was thinking about how to persuade the other party to reduce the frequency of their meetings, she heard Wei Jue give her an unexpected message.

"I heard that a distinguished guest wanted to invest in your Xinwei Restaurant and expand the restaurant to Xiqiang. Is this true?" Wei Jue went straight to the point.
