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

Chapter 291

Pei Zhu turned around and stared at Ye Xi. He thought Ye Xi minded, but from Ye Xi's tone it seemed that he was very concerned.

He wanted to ask why, but he seemed to understand Ye Xi's feelings, so the question became an answer.

"I've had a fever for a few days. The doctor came to see me every day and I took medicine and rubbed my body. Today, the fever seems to have subsided and my body is not so hot anymore."

"Are you the only one taking care of him?"

Ye Xi looked around and didn't seem to see anyone like an old maid, not even a maid.

"Yeah." Pei Zhu was embarrassed to tell her that because his sick wife had emptied the family savings and could not pay the monthly allowance, there had been no wet nurse to take care of the child for more than a year.

He kept a servant who sold his body by his side to take care of the child on a daily basis.

But the servant is only a half-grown child. He is OK at playing with children, but how can he take care of a patient?

He was worried so he took care of the child himself and he hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

After Ye Xi entered the room, she took off her veil and placed it on the table.

A small figure was bulging on the couch in the room. Ye Xi walked over and saw a little face sleeping soundly.

That little face was 70% similar to Pei Zhu, and Ye Xi couldn't help but marvel at the magic of genes.

Wei Ye looks like Wei Jue, and now Pei Zhu's child looks like this too.

She reached out and touched the child's forehead, and sure enough, the fever had subsided.

Pei Zhu stood behind Ye Xi and watched, and felt that Ye Xi's movements were very natural, just like taking care of his own child.

I have an indescribable feeling in my heart. If they had not separated at the beginning, perhaps this would be their child.

Ye Xi turned around and wanted to say something, but saw Pei Zhu with a bad look on his face.

Suddenly, Pei Zhu didn't have a good rest, so she said:

"You should go and rest. I'll take care of the child for a while. Where is the kitchen? I'll go see if there's anything to eat.

Make something light first, so the child can eat when he wakes up."

"I'll take you there." Pei Zhu said.

"No, you should go and rest. I'll look for it myself. By the way, what's the name of your servant? I may need his help later."

"His name is Fuzi."

Ye Xi discovered that Pei Zhu's naming of the servants was really simple and crude. It used to be Douzi, and now it is Fuzi. Anyway, it doesn't require any brainpower.

Ye Xi nodded and urged Pei Zhu to go to rest.

Pei Zhu was really tired, so he didn't refuse. He returned to his dormitory and fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

After Ye Xi watched the person lie down and fall asleep, she looked around for the kitchen. The kitchen was quite clean and tidy. Pei Zhu was a mysophobe and would probably not allow the kitchen in his home to be dirty.

She searched around and found that there was nothing left except rice and some shriveled vegetables, and there was not much oil or salt either.

She called Fu Zi, gave him some money, and asked him to buy what she wanted.

Fuzi didn't understand what the relationship between the lady in front of her and her master was, but her master seemed to have acquiesced to her actions at home, so she obediently went out.

Ye Xi quickly washed and rinsed everything, put the rice in the pot to cook first, and asked Fuzi to buy some chicken and pork.

She will make some shredded chicken and vegetable porridge later. It is light and tasty, and perfect for the patients.

Fuzi came back soon. There was a small market near their home and people came and went very quickly.

After Ye Xi got the meat, she started to cook it. After she was done, she kept the porridge warm in the pot and went to look after the children.

Maybe it was because of the excessive treatment before, the child was sleeping very soundly now. Ye Xi leaned on the edge of the bed and soon fell asleep as well.
