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

Chapter 392

Before she could figure out how to tell Wei Jue, she heard the voice of a servant outside calling "Master" and knew that Wei Jue had arrived.

Wei Jue ate with her as usual, but Ye Xi was absent-minded during the meal.

The time of departure is approaching. He has been coming back less often recently. It seems that he has become busy and has spent most of his time in the Duke's Mansion.

She didn't know when he would come next time and was afraid of missing the travel date.

"What are you thinking about? You're so absent-minded that you can't even eat in peace."

After Ye Xi dropped the food on the table for who knows how many times, Wei Jue couldn't help but ask.

The chopsticks in his hand stopped Ye Xi from picking up the next dish and put the dish she wanted into her bowl.

Ye Xi felt that now was the best time to speak.

"My Lord, I, I want to go out for a while."

Wei Jue was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Where are you going?"

"Desert City."

"What?"

"Talk to a local influential person about opening a branch."

Wei Jue seemed to be considering it, and after a while he spoke:

"Xi Niang, Ye'er is going to take part in the provincial examination soon, and His Majesty is going to participate in the autumn hunt, so I can't go with you."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment: "Sir, I am not asking you to accompany me on this trip, I just want to inform you and get your permission."

Wei Jue curled the corners of his mouth. He remembered that Ye Xi had wanted to leave Beijing on his own to discuss business.

As a result, he found out and thought she wanted to run away, and then some unhappy things happened between them.

Since then, Ye Xi never left Beijing without permission, nor did he take the initiative to mention leaving Beijing.

Today is the first time.

He wondered if he had gone too far before, but if she wanted to leave, she should have informed him. After all, he did not completely trust her.

"You want to go by yourself?" he said disapprovingly.

"Qin Song will be with him, and of course the escort will be with him as well."

Wei Jue frowned. He didn't like her being with other men, no matter who that man was.

"I will send guards to escort you all the way. The escorts are unreliable." Wei Jue agreed.

Ye Xi knew that his so-called escort was, first of all, to monitor her, and secondly.

After all, Mocheng is a border city. If she has other ideas, she can leave Da Zhou in just one step.

Although being in another country would not make her out of his reach, it would hinder his search for her to a certain extent.

"Thank you, sir."

Ye Xi is not that stupid. She still has a hard time living in the familiar place in Da Zhou.

How could a woman like her cope with being in a foreign country? Besides, she had been used to being with him for so many years, so there was really no need to create unnecessary trouble.

At night, perhaps because they were about to part, Wei Jue made a lot of noise.

Ye Xi really couldn't bear it anymore, and begged for mercy in a low voice with suppressed voice. Wei Jue seemed to enjoy her state and tormented her for a long time before withdrawing.

While enjoying the afterglow, he stroked Ye Xi's sweaty cheek and whispered.

"I have to follow His Majesty on this autumn hunt. Xue Jiu cannot be assigned to you, so I will let Lin Yan lead the team to escort you."

Lin Yan, a beautiful woman, is said to be skilled in martial arts and has been working for Wei Jue.

I was transferred back half a year ago and have been living with her ever since.

She was not used by Ye Xi, she just lived in her yard. The few times she went out were almost always to do things for Wei Jue.

Because they lived in the same courtyard, she and Ye Xi had many opportunities to meet each other, and they were considered familiar strangers.
