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

Chapter 441 Extra - Wei Jue (8)

Wei Jue laughed. It seemed that Ye Xi had a very high status in the family. Even his brother was controlled by her.

Looking at Ye Xin staring at him with a guilty look on his face, it was hard to connect with the person who was indifferent to him in his dream.

It turns out that he didn't look down on me, he just looked down on me like that.

Wei Jue suddenly felt that the joke had gone too far, and quickly explained:

"No, no, Xi Niang is very good, virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, filial to her parents-in-law, respectful to her husband, and a good wife."

Little did he know that his explanation only confirmed Ye Xi's "guilt".

In Ye Xin's opinion, where does Ye Xi come from in terms of being "virtuous, beautiful and intelligent"? She is filial to her parents-in-law, but she is not necessarily respectful to her husband.

Seeing Ye Xin's incredulous expression, Wei Jue knew that not only had he failed to remedy the situation, but he had also made things even more smeared, so he quickly shut up.

After chatting with him for a few more sentences, Ye Xin left on the pretext of having something to do, probably going to look for Ye Xi.

Wei Jue touched his nose, thinking that he had gone too far this time and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Oh, my dear son-in-law, you are here. Come here for a moment. Mother has something to tell you." Ye's mother suddenly appeared again and called Wei Jue to follow her.

Wei Jue didn't understand why, but he followed anyway. He took a look and found that Ye Xi and Ye Xin were not in the lobby.

Ye's mother led him to the main house, which was the residence of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. As a son-in-law, it was not appropriate for Wei Jue to step in, so Ye's mother asked him to wait outside and she went in.

Wei Jue felt a little awkward because Ye's mother had sent the servants away before she went in, and now there were only the two of them here.

He wondered what the incident on Ye's mother's part was all about.

Not long after, Ye's mother came out with a stack of things in her hand. Wei Jue had sharp eyes and saw that it was a stack of silver bills.

After Ye's mother came out, she smiled and stuffed the banknotes in her hand into his hand, then said:

"It's not easy for a son-in-law to be in the officialdom, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law can't do much to help. You can take this little money, it's a token of my appreciation. Xi'er is young and doesn't know much, so you need to bear with her in the future."

This was the silver note that Ye's mother and father had prepared before they returned home, thinking of marrying off their daughter to a wealthy family. The actual dowry was not much, and most of the shops and fields that came as dowry were purchased by Wei Jue.

That was his sincerity when he first proposed the marriage. The Ye family felt that he had provided their daughter with great material security no matter what.

But they were still worried that their daughter would be wronged, so after discussing it, they decided to give their son-in-law something to compensate him.

Wei Jue didn't expect that his mother-in-law secretly called him over for this, so he quickly declined:

"Mother, there's no need for that. It's already a great blessing from heaven that you can marry Xi Niang to me. I really can't bear it..."

Mother Ye was worried that they would delay too long and cause gossip, so she stuffed the banknote back and interrupted him: "This is just a token of our love. Take it, dear!"

After saying that, she didn't care what he was going to say and hurried to the lobby.

Wei Jue did not refuse anymore. He stared blankly at the banknotes in his hand and suddenly felt that they were a little hot.

If his mother were still alive, she would probably treat him the same way.

When he returned home this time, Wei Jue felt the Ye family's attitude was completely different from what he had in his dreams. It turned out that this was the treatment they gave him when he was truly accepted by them.

On the way back, Ye Xi glared at Wei Jue in the carriage. Wei Jue pretended to be innocent and asked, "My lady, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did you say bad things about me in front of mother and brother?" Ye Xi was a little angry.

"No, my wife is so virtuous, why should I do this?" Wei Jue looked "confused".

"Then what about my mother...Okay, tell me, what did you say to them?"
