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

Chapter 188

Ten days later, Wei Jue and his grandfather Wei Yuan became engaged to Yao Yushu, the eldest daughter of a fourth-rank official in the Dali Temple.

Wei Yuan was still very curious about why Wei Jue chose Yao Yushu.

"Miss Yao is well-educated, kind-hearted and worthy of being the mistress of the house," Wei Jue explained.

"Yeah, but I heard that he has a weak temper."

Wei Yuan frowned, thinking that it might not be appropriate for her to be the mistress of the house.

"It's not like there's no housekeeper in the mansion. The mistress only needs to supervise. Harmony in the family is the most important thing."

Wei Jue naturally understood Wei Yuan's unfulfilled meaning, but he couldn't say that he just took advantage of the other party's weakness.

"Forget it. As long as I can help the Wei family expand, everything else is fine."

So Wei Yuan took the matchmaker to the Yao family to propose marriage.

As soon as the marriage news of Duke Wei's Mansion came out, the capital city was instantly in an uproar.

Everyone envied Yao Yushu, the girl who was chosen, and some young ladies from prominent families were naturally indignant.

Why did Yao Yushu deserve to marry into the Wei family?

Not to mention the family background of the Duke's Mansion, Wei Jue is now a favorite of the emperor, but he chose a mere fourth-rank daughter.

You know, nowadays, Wei Jue is more than qualified to marry a legitimate daughter of the first rank.

The marriage between the Duke of Wei's Mansion and the Yao family instantly became a hot topic in the capital, and people could be heard discussing it in the streets.

The Wei family acted quickly and all the necessary formalities were followed quickly after the engagement.

This attitude of being anxious to get married inevitably caused some people to speculate, but it was just idle gossip.

Ye Xi started taking medicine since she fainted last time. At first she thought she would only need to take it for a few days.

It turned out that except for the few days during the Chinese New Year, I didn't stop taking the medicine at other times, which was very strange.

So when Dr. Li came for a follow-up visit, she asked about this.

"Doctor, why haven't I stopped taking the medicine? If I'm not sick or in pain, it's not appropriate to keep taking medicine. As the saying goes, medicine is three-quarters poison."

"Madam, the last time I examined you, I found that you were cold and afraid of the cold. The master said it was because you came from the south.

The capital is cold, and I am afraid you can't stand it, so I'll prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate for a while, so that you can live in good health in the capital."

Doctor Li lied naturally, as Wei Jue's instructions to him included keeping it a secret from Ye Xi.

"I see, doctor, can I take the medicine for a while and then stop?

After all, I've been eating it for so long recently that I feel a little nauseous when I see the black soup."

Ye Xi said helplessly.

"This...I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Stopping the medication at random will waste the effects of the medication you took before."

Doctor Li was in a dilemma, but he still tried to persuade her, "If the medicine tastes bad, why don't I improve the recipe to make it more palatable?"

"Why not make the medicine into pills and I can swallow them directly?" Ye Xi said.

"Yes, I will go back and study it."

"Thank you, doctor."

After seeing off Doctor Li, Ye Xi wanted to go out for a walk for the first time. She had been staying in the house for a long time.

Xia Mu and Dong Ju accompanied her out.

While choosing jewelry in a jewelry shop, Ye Xi heard the girls around her discussing the marriage between the Wei and Yao families.

At first she didn't pay attention. The world is so big, there are so many people with the same surname, and she didn't think of Wei Jue.

But when the other party said in an envious tone that Miss Yao was so lucky to be able to marry into the Duke of Wei's mansion, she noticed it and asked the other party a question.

"My lady, who is the Miss Yao you mentioned going to marry in the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

"Of course it's Lord Wei Jue. He is the only eligible man to marry in the Duke's Mansion right now." The girl next to her explained.
