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

Chapter 382

Wei Jue watched the people behind him moving many boxes and crates to Ye Xi's room, then turned around and said to Ye Xi, "Put everything in the boxes and crates in order later."

Ye Xi nodded in response, but when she actually asked someone to pack the boxes, she was stunned.

She thought the things in the box were toys given to her by Wei Jue as a reward. After all, it was not the first time he did such a thing.

But she didn't expect that all the things inside had nothing to do with her. They were basically Wei Jue's own things, including his court robes.

The court robes were all here, indicating that he not only planned to live with her for a long time, but also planned to treat this place as his home.

Ye Xi suddenly felt a little panicked. Doesn’t this mean that they will have to face each other day and night from now on?

It took me the whole afternoon to put his things away.

During dinner, Ye Xi kept staring at Wei Jue, wanting to see what he meant, but she didn't ask.

Wei Jue felt her passionate gaze. This was the first time that he felt excited, although it didn't show on his face.

Did she have a change of heart and treat him differently because he was going to move in?

If it was so easy to win her favor, he would have done it long ago.

But he soon came to his senses. If she was someone who could be bewitched so easily, why would he have failed to win her over after so many years?

"What? Are you infatuated with such a guy?" Wei Jue teased.

Although he was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand her looking at him like that, so he had to speak out to save himself.

"..." Ye Xi felt that Wei Jue was becoming more and more shameless.

"The boxes are filled with your clothes, even court robes. What is your Excellency doing?"

Ye Xi still asked, otherwise she would suffocate to death.

"Can't you see? I want to treat this place as my home and spend more time with you." He said it confidently and as if it were a matter of course.

Ye Xi was silent. She didn't need his company, nor did she want him to treat this place as his home.

Wei Jue seemed to know what her silence meant, and stated his purpose directly.

"People say that relationships are cultivated. I think the time we spent together was too short, so Xi Niang didn't feel a sense of belonging to me.

It won’t happen again in the future. I will make you get used to the feeling of having me by your side.”

Ye Xi thought back to the past, when every time he came to Yuexi Cottage, he was there for sex.

Even if there are occasional moments of tenderness, most of the time it is for the purpose of making love or after making love, anyway, they all have bad intentions.

Now he is not satisfied with having her body, he also wants her heart.

"Sir, aren't you afraid that doing this will displease the Duke and Madam?" Ye Xi still wanted to dissuade him from the idea.

"Grandfather is hoping that I will have three wives and four concubines to expand the Wei family. As for Yushu, the daughter of a mere fourth-rank official wants to control me?" Wei Jue's tone was full of contempt.

Only then did Ye Xi understand Wei Jue's reason for marrying Yao Yushu. He wanted a daughter-in-law who matched the status of the Duke's Mansion, but also one who could not control him too much.

It really is a typical example of having both.

It is said that he favors his concubine and ignores his wife, but there is only one woman, Yao Yushu, in the Duke's Mansion.

Yao Yushu was in charge of all the household affairs in the Duke's Mansion - except for not being able to manage her husband, Wei Jue gave her enough face and power.

Although he dotes on his wife, he doesn't care about Yao Yushu at all, and he even moves out to live with her, which is somewhat of an embarrassment to her.

Ye Xi sighed, thinking that she was really thinking too much, so she should just take care of herself first.

From that day on, Wei Jue lived in Yuexi Cottage. He would go back to the Duke's Mansion every three to five days and occasionally stay the night there.

During every festival, we would go there first, and then come back here when it was time to go to bed. This is a story for later.
