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

Chapter 223

Not long after, he asked Xue Jiu to bring the news that Wei Xuan had died of illness in the Duke's Mansion to Yuexi Xiaozhu, in order to shut the servants of Yuexi Xiaozhu up.

But there was one thing he didn't expect, that was that his grandfather actually didn't agree with Ye Xi and Wei Xuan seeing each other again.

What grandpa meant was that if Xuan'er wanted to completely become Ye'er, then Ye Xi and Xuan'er should no longer have any contact with each other.

Xuan'er should cultivate more mother-son relationship with Yao Yushu.

Wei Jue argued that since their biological mother was still alive, it was neither logical nor moral to prevent them from meeting.

Finally, Wei Yuan took a step back. If Ye Xi entered the mansion as a concubine, the concubine would always have a chance to see the legitimate son.

However, Ye Xi had to keep her identity in mind: she was only Wei Xuan's aunt and not his biological mother.

Because of this incident, Wei Jue delayed for a long time and did not dare to meet Ye Xi.

Today, he finally mustered up the courage to see Ye Xi, he really missed her.

Ever since Wei Ye's accident, he has been physically and mentally exhausted, and finally everything is over.

He also returned to his normal life, so he came over.

"Where is the lady?" he asked amid the servants' greetings.

Today is a day off, so he came here early in the morning, thinking that Ye Xi would be here at this time.

"Madam is in the study, looking at the account books."

Wei Jue was stunned when he heard this answer. He knew that this so-called account book did not refer to the expenses of Yuexi Cottage.

She has never taken care of the accounts since she moved in here. All expenses were arranged by people on his side, so this account book can only represent the business handled by her.

He thought she wouldn't be in the mood to care about these things at the moment, but he didn't expect that he was narrow-minded.

When she came outside the study, the door and windows were open, and the sunlight just happened to shine on the table where she was looking at the account book.

She avoided the sunlight and looked at the account book attentively. From time to time, she took a pen to write and draw on another notebook. She must be doing some calculations.

Ever since he met her, he discovered that she didn't use an abacus to do math, but liked to draw all kinds of symbols on paper that he couldn't understand.

But the results she calculated were accurate. He was surprised at first, but now he is used to it.

The sunlight reflected on Ye Xi's face, making her whole body glow with warmth.

Coupled with her peaceful expression, she was very pleasing to the eye. Wei Jue stood outside the door and watched for a long time before stepping in.

"Xi Niang, you got up so early today."

It’s no wonder Wei Jue was surprised, as she used to love sleeping in.

Thinking back to when he had been scolded for disturbing her sleep, how could he not be surprised now?

After hearing this, Ye Xi raised her eyes and glanced at him: "I went to bed early yesterday, so I got up early."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued writing and drawing, then turned the page.

Wei Jue thought that Ye Xi's first question would be when he could meet Wei Xuan.

He had already thought of the right words, but she didn't ask, but instead answered what he said casually.

"Have you had your meal?"

"I've eaten. Ask Xia Mu to prepare it for you."

This time, Ye Xi didn't even raise her head and just did her own thing.

Ye Xi's performance now is no different from the past, but Wei Jue always feels that Ye Xi has changed.

In the past, if Ye Xi was so busy in the study and ignored him, he might have just gone up to her and hugged her to ask for favors, and would not leave until he was satisfied.

Now that he saw Ye Xi was busy, he didn't dare to go up to disturb her. Instead, he asked someone to prepare the food so that he could eat.

He hadn't been to Yuexi Cottage for a long time, so he took the opportunity when the servants were preparing food to go to Ye Xi's room first.

He wanted to see what items were missing so that he could come over and make Ye Xi happy.

But when he stood in the room, he couldn't tell what Ye Xi was missing.

But he changed his mind and thought that Dongju was a smart person, so he could just let Dongju make the arrangements when the time came. So he went to the dining room to eat with peace of mind.
