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

Chapter 219

"Good morning, my Lord."

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment when she heard the servants' greetings. It was not until she saw a familiar figure appear that she was sure that Wei Jue had really come.

After a month's absence, he finally showed up. Ye Xi thought he would not show up today.

“You’re here….”

Ye Xi paused, her breathing becoming a little difficult.

She had almost never seen Wei Jue like this. He looked pale, haggard, and much thinner.

The first impression Wei Jue gave her was that Wei Ye’s illness might not be serious, otherwise why would he be like this.

Wei Ye’s illness is so serious?

"I heard Ye'er is sick? Is he okay now?"

Ye Xi asked, she didn't even notice her voice was trembling.

Because she really didn't want anything to happen to such a well-behaved child.

"Yes, the imperial physician is taking care of him." Wei Jue responded to Ye Xi and then looked at Wei Xuan.

"Today is Xuan'er's birthday. Daddy didn't prepare a gift for Xuan'er. Can you give Xuan'er a hug?"

Wei Jue looked a little lonely, but he still forced a smile towards Wei Xuan.

"Daddy, give me a hug."

Wei Xuan didn’t care whether there were gifts or not, he was just happy to see Wei Jue coming.

Wei Jue hugged Wei Xuan tightly, buried his face in Wei Xuan's neck, lowered his head and said nothing.

Wei Xuan must have felt uncomfortable because of the tightening, so he started to become restless and struggled to get down.

"Sir, Xuan'er seems to be feeling unwell, please let him go quickly."

Ye Xi noticed something was wrong with Wei Jue and hurried forward to carry Wei Xuan away.

"I'm sorry, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss Xuan'er very much." Wei Jue said.

"have you eaten?"

Wei Jue shook his head, and Ye Xi ordered the servants to serve a few more dishes. Then Wei Jue started eating and drinking as if nothing had happened.

Ye Xi sat aside and observed Wei Jue. He seemed really hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.

She didn't believe that the Duke's Mansion could be short of food for him, it could only be that he couldn't eat enough.

At night, Wei Jue did not return to the Duke's Mansion, but stayed at Ye Xi's place.

Ye Xi was no longer sure about her guess. Could it be that Wei Ye’s condition was not as serious as she imagined?

Or is it getting better?

She thought Wei Jue was going to go beastly again, but after they got on the bed, he just hugged her tightly from behind and kept whispering.

"Xi Niang, I feel bad, very bad..."

"Xi Niang, don't leave me, don't leave..."

He drank a lot of wine tonight, and kept mumbling something she couldn't understand.

Ye Xi felt mixed emotions, and at the same time she had a bad premonition.

What happened to make Wei Jue like this?

It’s understandable that he feels bad because of Wei Ye’s illness, but why does it involve her?

Isn't it clear whether she can leave him?

She asked him tentatively what happened, but he could not get any results except repeating the same few sentences.

Ye Xi was so sleepy at last that she fell asleep.

The next morning, after Ye Xi got up and finished her meal, she didn't see Wei Xuan coming to see her. This shouldn't be right.

So she asked Xia Mu.

"The young master was taken out by the adults early in the morning." Xia Mu said.

Ye Xi didn't expect that Wei Jue would take Wei Xuan out at this time.

Although the current situation is special, this has happened before, so she didn't take it to heart.

"It's almost sunset, hasn't Xuan'er come back yet?"

Ye Xi looked at the sky and asked Xia Mu with some uneasiness.

"Yes, ma'am. I guess you want to take the young master to dinner before returning. Would you like to serve the meal?"

Xia Mu asked, she didn't understand why Madam should worry about the young master's safety when the adults were there.

"Serve the meal, and let Xuan'er know when he comes back."

Ye Xi felt that she might be overthinking.
