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

Chapter 242

Wei Ye was the least injured, but he was still frightened by the sword wound at such a young age. He was terrified for several days and it took a long time for him to recover after being comforted.

After a while, Ye Xi was finally able to get out of bed and walk, so she wanted to go out for a walk today.

Xia Mu couldn't persuade her, so he helped her walk in the yard.

Xia Mu had rarely stayed in the Duke's Mansion, so he was not familiar with the route, and the two of them walked blindly on the corridor.

"I heard that the one living in Hibiscus Garden is the prince's concubine. I wonder if they are going to take her into the palace this time?"

A little girl's voice came from the other side of the rockery.

Ye Xi and Xia Mu both paused and looked at each other.

Sure enough, gossip was everywhere. Ye Xi said nothing, but stopped and listened carefully. After all, he was eating his own melon.

"The prince has brought her back to the mansion, so it should be correct. If she is not taken into the mansion, the concubine will probably have no chance of survival."

Another girl's voice was heard. She sounded older than the previous one, and her voice was lowered.

"How to say."

"I heard from the imperial physician that she was badly injured and she probably won't have children in the future.

You think, she couldn't even enter the palace after making such a great contribution in saving the young master?

When I grow old and have no children, how can I survive?"

Then came the little girl's exclamation, "This... is too tragic."

Ye Xi had no interest in listening to what followed.

No wonder the imperial physician didn't tell her about her condition in person after the follow-up visit during this period. So that's why.

Wei Jue's recent performance is compensation? Haha.

After hearing this secret, Xia Mu didn't dare to look at Ye Xi's expression. She was worried about Ye Xi but she was timid.

She didn't dare tell anyone about this, for fear that she would be beaten to death if the adults found out.

She had a premonition that the two talkative girls might not end up well.

When returning to the house, Ye Xi met Dongju, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Dongju didn't look well.

She learned from Xia Mu that Wei Jue was beaten with a stick when he came back because Dong Ju failed to protect him, and he probably just recovered from his injuries.

"Dongju, if you're not feeling well, you should go back and continue to recuperate. Xiamu is here, and there are other people here too."

This incident could not be considered Dongju’s fault, and she did not understand why Wei Jue was venting his anger on her.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam. Dongju is fine now." Dongju insisted.

Ye Xi didn't say anything else, but she thought of someone whom she seemed to have not seen recently.

She had some bad guesses and said, "I haven't seen Xue Jiu recently. Is he..."

She believed Dongju could understand the unfinished meaning.

"No, Guard Xue is fine. He was just punished by the adults with a stick and is recovering from his injuries."

Dongju understood immediately and explained it quickly.

There were quite a few people who were punished this time, and the only one who escaped was Xia Mu. It was Wei Jue who spared him because Ye Xi could not be without someone familiar to take care of her.

"Why? This time, there were many dangers. Xue Jiu was loyal, so why was he punished with a cane?"

Ye Xi was dissatisfied, and looked like he was going to find Wei Jue to argue with him.

Dongju was silent, as if hesitating whether to speak or not.

Ye Xi saw her hesitation.

"What's wrong? Is there something you have to hide from me? If you don't tell me, I'll go ask him."

Thinking about what those girls said just now, she became furious.

"Xue guarded him... He was beaten because he sent you to the wrong place."

Dongju still told it, but in fact what she knew was not specific.

She just heard Wei Jue blaming Xue Jiu for being credulous and sending someone to the wrong place, which almost caused Ye Xi to lose her life, so he gave him a beating.
