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

Chapter 189

After hearing this, Ye Xi was silent for a moment, but quickly adjusted himself and thanked the woman in front of him.

After leaving the jewelry shop, Ye Xi asked Xia Mu and Dong Ju: "When was your master's marriage decided? Did you deliberately hide it from me?"

Xia Mu and Dong Ju looked at each other, and Xia Mu's brain was not very clear.

Dongju took the initiative to explain: "The master's marriage was arranged before the New Year. The master said that he was afraid that the girl would be unhappy during the New Year, so he asked everyone in the yard to shut up and not talk about it."

"No wonder you tried to persuade me to go out before the New Year. I see. Now that the New Year is over, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?"

She'll know it sooner or later anyway, so I might as well not hide it.

Fortunately, he has been busy with his wedding recently and has to come to see her. It seems that men are born masters of time management.

Because of the marriage news, Ye Xi lost interest in shopping and went straight back home.

On the way, Dong Ju disappeared for a while. Ye Xi guessed that she had sent someone to report to Wei Jue.

Although there were only three of them going out, she knew that there were guards in plain clothes following them all the way.

Wei Jue still suspected that she was restless and didn't want what happened before to happen again.

After she returned home, she locked herself in her room with complicated thoughts.

She was not surprised to hear the news. After all, Wei Jue was not young anymore, and many people's children of his age were old enough to help with housework.

She knew something about Wei Jue's affairs.

She had heard of General Wei's deeds before she got married. If she hadn't been delayed due to mourning, perhaps they wouldn't have met.

When she heard about General Wei and his eldest son dying for their country, she admired them from the bottom of her heart.

How could such a hero who serves his country and his people give birth to such a vile and shameless person like Wei Jue?

"Good morning, my Lord."

A maid's greeting was heard outside the door, and Ye Xi heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by the appearance of Wei Jue.

His steps seemed a little untidy, his breathing was unstable, and he seemed to be a little anxious. After seeing Ye Xi, his face looked a little uneasy.

Ye Xi had never seen him like this before. He would never panic in front of her, only get furious.

Ye Xi didn't say anything, but just stared at him, wanting to see what he was going to do.

"Xi Niang, are you ready to eat?"

After holding it in for a long time, I asked such a strange question.

Ye Xi turned her head and looked at the sky. It was not time for dinner, so it would be more appropriate to ask her if she wanted some snacks.

"I'm not hungry. Please feel free to say whatever you want to say." Ye Xi knew that Wei Jue must have something to say.

"You, you heard about it, right?" Wei Jue asked.

As soon as he heard the report from the person sent by Dongju, he rushed over immediately.

Along the way, I thought of countless guesses about her reaction and countless ways to deal with it.

But when he really got in front of her, he was at a loss for words, and just now his brain went blank and he asked a stupid question.

"What did you hear? About the master's marriage?" Ye Xi looked at Wei Jue with an indifferent expression.

Wei Jue frowned. He was very unhappy with Ye Xi's reaction.

Is she so confident that he can still treat her like this after marriage?

Or, no, she has no expectations, so she doesn't care or mind.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand and was being ravaged repeatedly, causing him excruciating pain.

His originally panicked mood slowly calmed down, replaced by a feeling of chill at not being able to get what he wanted.

"Xi Niang, do you not care? Aren't you worried that the mistress will embarrass you after entering the mansion? Or, will I ignore you?"

"To embarrass me? I am not a concubine of the Duke's Mansion. She must have a reason for embarrassing me.

As for the cold shoulder, hasn't your Excellency tried it before? It's just a matter of time and practice."

Ye Xi's attitude was cold.
