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

Chapter 247

Wei Jue noticed the joy that she inadvertently revealed, but his heart was filled with rage.

After seven years, he still couldn't warm her heart.

If he hadn't had to go to the battlefield and was worried that the emperor would do something bad to her, he would not have been willing to let her go.

He tormented himself for several days before making this decision. He thought Ye Xi would not let him go. He really brought shame upon himself.

He pulled the person into his arms again and repeated everything that happened last night, but this time his actions lacked gentleness.

Ye Xi was afraid that he would change his mind, so she obediently let him do what he wanted.

From that day on until Wei Jue left, he stayed at Ye Xi's place every night.

The day before departure, he asked Ye Xi and Wei Ye to meet.

Ye Xi looked at the young master in front of her. Perhaps because of the previous shock, Wei Ye was a little shy. When Ye Xi stared at him with a burning gaze, he hid behind Wei Jue.

Ye Xi felt a little uncomfortable.

Wei Jue sat down, picked up Wei Ye and placed him on his lap.

"Young master, would you like to eat some milk soup?... Can auntie feed you?" Ye Xi brought the milk soup and asked Wei Ye.

Wei Ye looked at Ye Xi warily, then looked up at Wei Jue.

Wei Jue looked down at him and said, "Eat if you want. She is not a bad person. She also saved you, Ye'er."

Wei Ye got his father's consent and knew that it would not harm him, so he nodded.

Ye Xi started to feed him milk porridge, and she felt uncomfortable while doing so.

The child used to be talkative, but now he is like a saw-mouthed gourd, sensitive and suspicious. That incident must have hurt him.

Today, I'm afraid, will be the last time she feeds him.

After tomorrow, the mother and son will be separated from each other, and her greatest wish as a mother is that he can live well.

After eating a bowl of milk soup, Wei Ye's guard was reduced a little, but he still refused Ye Xi's request to hold him in her arms.

Ye Xi didn't know what to say to the child, so she asked Wei Jue to hold the child while she untied the child's hair and combed it again.

Finally, she took out a bright red peace rope she had woven and put it on the child's hand, hoping that the child would be safe in the future.

Wei Jue's eyes darkened when he saw the safety rope. In all these years, he had never received a single needle or thread from Ye Xi.

The night before leaving, Wei Jue still stayed at Ye Xi's place.

There was a lot of noise in the house. Ye Xi understood Wei Jue's feelings. Everyone would feel afraid of an uncertain future.

For the first time ever, she responded to Wei Jue very gently. Wei Jue was stunned at first, but then he understood and the two of them embraced each other.

The day of departure was sunny and warm, but someone had to say goodbye on such a day.

Ye Xi had nothing to pack, and she didn't want to take away anything Wei Jue gave her.

But Wei Jue asked Dong Ju to pack up and move everything to the carriage.

Wei Jue wanted Ye Xi to take Xia Mu and Dong Ju with her, but Ye Xi refused. She was determined to cut off all ties with Wei Jue.

Wei Jue did not force it.

"Sir, although this is not what Xi Niang wants, Xi Niang has received a lot of care from you in the past few years.

My lord, there is nothing I can do for you on this trip. Please accept this safety rope.

I hope you will be able to turn danger into safety and return home safely."

Ye Xi handed over a rope before going out.

Wei Jue didn't expect that Ye Xi had also prepared her own. He stared blankly at the safety rope in her hand.

The style is similar to Wei Ye's, but his is an adult male version, also red.

"Put it on for me."

He said, holding out his left hand, hoping that she would put it on him herself.
