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

Chapter 220

But when the moon was high in the sky and she didn't hear anyone telling her that Wei Xuan had returned, she could no longer stay there.

"Dongju, hurry up, send someone to find the master. If he is busy and can't leave, bring Xuan'er back first."

Ye Xi was very panicked. Could it be that something had happened to Lian Xuan'er?

"Yes, ma'am." Dongju took the order and disappeared.

An hour later, Dongju came back and brought back a message from Wei Jue.

He said that he would take Wei Xuan to spend the night at the Duke's Mansion today and told her not to worry.

But when Ye Xi heard the news, she felt very disappointed.

Wei Jue has always been very sensible and never takes Wei Xuan out overnight. There must be something wrong with his behavior.

The Duke's Mansion... Did something really happen to Wei Ye?

So Wei Jue didn't even bother to send Wei Xuan back?

Or... a bad thought came to my mind.

Not really, not really. Yao Yushu would be the first one to refuse. She overturned her own guess.

The next night, Wei Jue still didn't come back, but asked Xue Jiu to bring back a message.

He said that his grandfather liked Wei Xuan very much and wanted to keep him for a few more days, but he was too busy to do anything else now, so he would come over in a few days.

After receiving the reply, Ye Xi, who had originally planned to go to the Duke's Mansion to look for someone, gave up the idea.

Wei Jue had even brought up the Duke, and she couldn't possibly offend the Duke, so she could only wait a few more days.

In the past few days, Ye Xi wandered in front of the Duke's Mansion countless times, but in the end he did not get close.

In Ye Xi's eyes, the vermilion gate of the Duke's Mansion was a huge bloody mouth. If she got close, she would be swallowed up, so Ye Xi only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to get close.

In modern times, this door is just an ordinary gate.

Ye Xi not only gets close, but also makes a few comments after listening to the explanation.

But Ye Xi, who was in the middle of it, had a deep fear of this door.

"Once you enter a mansion, it's like entering a deep sea." Only when you are in it can you truly feel the despair it brings to a woman.

Five days later, Wei Jue came walking on the moon.

Ye Xi had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly hugged from behind.

She was surprised and happy, and turned to face Wei Jue.

Even though the candlelight was dim, she could still see Wei Jue's outline, and he seemed to have lost weight again.

"Xuan'er is back too? I'll go see him first. This is the first time he's been away from me for so long."

Ye Xi took Wei Jue's hand away and prepared to stand up, but was restrained by Wei Jue.

"Don't move, Xi Niang, let me hug you tightly."

There was a hint of fatigue in Wei Jue's tone.

"I will come back after seeing Xuan'er. Please wait for a moment."

Ye Xi was worried about her child so she refused to stay there quietly and struggled to get up.

As a result, Wei Jue pressed even harder.

"Xuan'er hasn't come back, and... he won't come back in the future."

Wei Jue's voice was very low, but Ye Xi still heard it.

"What did you say?! What do you mean you won't come back? What do you mean?"

Ye Xi struggled to push Wei Jue away, but Wei Jue held her tightly.

"Xi Niang...Ye'er is gone."

Ye Xi’s struggling movements froze. Wei Ye was gone?

That sweet kid... is gone? Is he really that sick?

“…How come it’s gone?” Ye Xi’s voice was trembling.

"Measles. Even the imperial physician was helpless. He endured for so long... but still died."

Wei Jue's voice was hoarse, and Ye Xi felt her neck was wet. Only then did she realize that even someone as domineering as Wei Jue could cry.

Yes, as a parent, how can you not be sad when your child is gone?

"Then what does this have to do with Xuan'er? Why won't Xuan'er come back?"

Ye Xi didn’t understand.
