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

Chapter 411

"Xi Niang, you will always be with me, right?"

Although Wei Jue was asking questions, his tone was strong and unyielding.

Ye Xi was silent. If she had a choice, the answer would be self-evident, but now she could only answer this question with a perfunctory "hmm".

But Wei Jue was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

He let her go and instead put his arms around her shoulders, staring at her intently, forcing her to look into his eyes and answer the question.

Ye Xi had no choice but to make her words clear.

"Xi Niang will always be with you, my Lord."

Wei Jue seemed satisfied, but also not so satisfied.

His breathing was sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and he always felt like there was a blockage in his chest that couldn't dissipate.

He just couldn't understand why he had to have her. She was not stunningly beautiful, nor was she gentle and considerate, nor was she completely devoted to him, but he just couldn't let her go.

The two of them didn't even have a proper status. To put it bluntly, a hundred years after his death, she wouldn't even be able to be included in the Wei family's genealogy, let alone be buried together.

The two of them spent half a day flirting with each other - Wei Jue thought it was okay, so he asked someone to help Ye Xi to Yanju for dinner.

When Wei Jue arrived, he found that Wei Ye had not arrived yet, so he frowned. Ye Xi knew what he was thinking and persuaded him:

"Don't restrict the child now that he's here. He's just having a meal, not meeting the emperor. It doesn't matter if he comes back whenever he's hungry."

"Or I'll go call the young master. He must have been chatting so long with the young lady that he forgot the time." Hong Xiu said.

"Go check on the situation first. If they are happy chatting, then stop talking. If they are almost done chatting, you can tell them that the food is ready and ask them to come over."

Ye Xi was in good spirits and had a smile on her face.

Hongxiu took the order and left.

"You are so pampering to Ye'er, in the future he..."

"He is just a little bit spoiled here. Wherever he goes, he has to look at your face. You even have to control the rules here."

Ye Xi interrupted Wei Jue with dissatisfaction. Her rare good mood had to be ruined by such a trivial matter.

Not only was Wei Jue not annoyed, he looked at Ye Xi lovingly. In recent years, she had become more and more fond of throwing tantrums at him.

"Xi Niang, you really are..." He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but just looked at her with a smile.

"Father, aunt."

"My lord, mother."

Wei Ye appeared holding Siyu's hand, followed by Hongxiu and Xue Ting.

Ye Xi responded and asked them to sit down.

Because Xue Ting was younger, Ye Xi didn't treat her as a servant and took care of her just like she did with Si Yu, so she sat down too.

"You were so engrossed in talking about something that you even forgot to eat?" Ye Xi looked at Wei Ye and the other kids with a smile.

"My brother brought us a lot of fun little things." Siyu replied.

"That's right, these little things are so beautiful!" Xue Ting also rushed to answer.

A few children began chattering about how fun those little things were, and the whole Yanju was bustling with activity after the meal.

Even Wei Jue felt that this atmosphere was very good and very much like a home.

There was only one little master, Wei Ye, in the Duke's Mansion. Generally, the older playmates were not allowed to sit together and eat with the master, so the place seemed much quieter during meal time.

Ye Xi also felt very satisfied with such days. It turned out that having children around her was really a blessing.

It would be great if all parents and relatives were around, with several generations living under the same roof.

She missed her parents. In the past few years, she had only kept in touch with her family via correspondence and had no chance to go home.

The main reason was that Wei Jue didn't want her to leave him for so long. He originally wanted to bring her parents to Beijing to reunite with them, but she refused.

She is worried that it is not good for her parents to travel long distances as they are old.
