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

Chapter 244

According to Wei Yuan, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, the founding emperor secretly formed a team to hunt for treasure.

He was worried that the founding of the country would be unstable and someone would actually find the treasure and endanger his rule.

Decades have passed, and no one knows whether the royal family found the treasure.

In fact, the Wei family didn't care about the treasure at all. They were founding heroes and held high positions, so there was really no need for them to cause trouble.

But unfortunately, it happened when Wei Jue was about to be transferred to a local official.

When he got it, he thought it was really incredible. He didn't think that what he got was real.

But no matter whether it is true or false, once the emperor knows about this, the Wei family will probably be in trouble.

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, he was assassinated and the Lu Ban ball was lost.

At first he didn't want to look for it, but for some reason his grandfather asked him to look for it secretly, so he met Ye Xi again when he went back to look for the item.

Later, Wei Yuan realized that the emperor had obtained the news from somewhere and seemed to suspect that the Wei family had the treasure map of the previous dynasty.

He believed that the Wei family must distance themselves from this matter, so he asked Wei Jue to silence everyone who knew about it, and the Wei family would pretend that this had never happened.

But after a few years, Wei Yuan discovered that the emperor's suspicion of the Wei family had not diminished. Instead, he became more suspicious of the Wei family because of a surviving secret guard.

This is a fatal suspicion.

When Wei Jue discovered that the Third Prince showed signs of rebellion, Wei Yuan felt that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to free the Wei family from suspicion.

So Wei Yuan planned to take advantage of the enemy's strategy, but his plan was very risky.

In order to gain the trust of the emperor, he planned to put himself, Yao Yushu and Wei Ye in a position where they would surely die.

If the treasure map cannot be forced out even if the Third Prince kills the three of them, then the Emperor should eliminate his suspicion of the Wei family.

In his plan, he only wanted to keep Wei Jue.

Wei Jue is now able to stand on his own and can fully support the entire Duke's Mansion, and he will have children in the future.

In order to make things more realistic, Wei Yuan even asked his confidant to tell Xue Jiu that Wei Jue asked him to send Ye Xi to him for safety reasons.

He saw that Wei Jue liked Ye Xi. If Ye Xi could die in this operation, the blow to Wei Jue would definitely win the trust of the emperor and, by the way, resolve Wei Jue's obsession with Ye Xi.

He always thought that it was not a good thing for Wei Jue to be so obsessed with a woman.

Unexpectedly, the plan hidden from Wei Jue was discovered by the other party, who rescued them in time.

In this way, Wei Yuan's plan failed.

Wei Jue only revealed this much of the truth to Ye Xi.

What Wei Jue didn't say was that Wei Yuan was very dissatisfied with him because of this matter.

Wei Yuan believed that it was worth sacrificing a few insignificant people in the Wei family to save the Wei family.

But Wei Jue disagreed. He didn't have many relatives left in the world, so he planned to solve the problem in another way.

As for what method to use, he did not discuss it with Wei Yuan, nor did he intend to reveal it to Ye Xi.

Wei Yuan could only sigh that his womanly kindness might lead to the destruction of the Wei family.

Ye Xi didn't expect that Wei Yuan would regard her as a troublemaker. She didn't even dislike Wei Jue for being a troublemaker.

If it weren't for his crimes of confiscating property and exterminating the clan, such a disaster would never have befallen a common person like her.

Now, her health is not good, the child is not her own, and she may be alone for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, she hates the Wei family so much.

"I want to go back to Yuexi Cottage." Ye Xi said expressionlessly.
