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

Chapter 195

Ye Xi's mood was somewhat affected, so she nodded in agreement.

As soon as he returned home, a servant came up and said that there was a letter from Hangzhou City, and handed the letter to him.

When Ye Xi heard that the letter was from Hangzhou City, she was delighted and hurried back to her room to read it.

The letter was written by Ye Xin. After Ye Xi settled down in Yuexi Cottage, she wrote the letter to Ye Xin.

The two siblings kept in touch through letters after informing each other of their correspondence addresses and their current situations.

This time Ye Xin brought good news, saying that he was going to get married. His wife was Ling, the daughter of his mentor, and the wedding was scheduled for two months later.

Ye Xi quickly looked at the date when the letter was written. Almost a month had passed and time was running out.

She continued reading. Ye Xin meant whether she could make it back to Hangzhou to attend his wedding.

She also said that her parents missed her and hoped that she would come back to attend the wedding and resolve the misunderstanding with her parents.

Ye Xi looked at the letter and burst into tears.

She was so happy that her brother was going to get married.

She hurried to the warehouse, picked out a lot of items, including silks, satins, precious jewelry, etc., and had someone load them onto the carriage.

Still feeling that it was not enough, he ordered his butler to go out and buy some things specifically as gifts.

The next day, Wei Jue came and saw the housekeeper busying around and asked curiously.

The butler then gave Ye Xi all his instructions.

When Wei Jue heard that it was a gift prepared for someone else and that it happened after the letter came from Hangzhou, he felt something was wrong.

He asked the housekeeper to show him the loading list that Ye Xi had ordered. He looked at it and handed it back with an expressionless face, but he was very uneasy in his heart.

The items on the list are all very valuable. This gift is definitely not for an unrelated person, but most likely for Ye Xin.

If it was really him, then if she met Ye Xi today, she would probably make a request that he didn't want to accept.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by the housekeeper: "Sir, the girl said that if you come, don't leave in a hurry. She wants to see you."

Did this predict that he would leave?

Wei Jue laughed angrily. He had never seen her so enthusiastic in wanting to see him before, so he thought she didn't know how to compete for favor, but it turned out she just didn't bother to do it.

He wanted to see how far she would go the first time she took the initiative, so he changed his mind and went straight to the backyard.

"Girl, the master is here!" Xia Mu ran in happily and said.

As soon as she saw Wei Jue stepping into the yard, she turned around and ran into the house to report to Ye Xi without saying hello, completely ignoring the existence of her master Wei Jue.

Wei Jue was no longer surprised by Xia Mu's heartlessness. Apart from not being able to distinguish between the primary and the secondary and occasionally doing some unruly things, he was generally a loyal servant, so Wei Jue didn't bother to care.

"I heard you were looking for me."

Wei Jue pretended not to know, sat down directly, picked up the tea brewed by Dongju and sipped it slowly, waiting for Ye Xi to speak.

"Sir, my brother is getting married in a month. I want to go back to Hangzhou with gifts to attend the wedding. Time is tight and I want to leave immediately."

Ye Xi didn't beat around the bush.

Wei Jue raised his eyes and looked at Ye Xi. He didn't expect Ye Xi to be so direct. She had no intention of playing tricks at all. It seemed that his methods were not yet mature.

"The journey from Beijing to Hangzhou is long, Xi Niang doesn't need to go. I'll have someone prepare a gift and send it over to express my appreciation.

Brother-in-law... your brother should be able to understand."

After Wei Jue finished speaking, he blew away the tea foam, took a sip, and waited for Ye Xi to make a move.

"Xi Niang has only one brother in her life, and he has only been married once. Are you going to stop her?" Ye Xi was dissatisfied.
