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

Chapter 383

On the night of moving in, Wei Jue tormented Ye Xi on the bed. God knows he had been single for a long time, and now with such a beautiful girl in his arms, how could he control himself?

After the incident, he hugged the unconscious Ye Xi, and first used his hands to push aside her wet hair to reveal her flushed face.

After staring for a long while, he sighed. Now he was satisfied but not satisfied.

He was satisfied that she was in his arms, but he was not satisfied that she could no longer give birth to a child for him. The Duke's Mansion had only Wei Ye as a child, which was too few.

His grandfather had urged him more than once to take a concubine and have more children, and he thought that this was actually necessary.

Men from ordinary families all hope to have many children and grandchildren, let alone him, a powerful Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

That’s right, in order to dispel the emperor’s suspicion of the Wei family, he was transferred to the position of Minister of Revenue, in charge of the court’s finances.

In fact, the emperor did not want him to be in charge of the finances, but he had indeed worked hard and made great contributions during the expedition, and it would be difficult to convince the people if he was not given a lucrative position. When weighing the pros and cons between military power and financial power, the emperor chose the lesser of the two.

His Majesty thought that because the war had lasted for three years and the treasury was empty, Wei Jue could not gain any advantage and it would only look good on the surface.

Both parties made the choice they thought was best for their own considerations.

Looking at Ye Xi's sleeping face, Wei Jue put all his thoughts aside. The most important thing at the moment was to keep this stubborn girl.

She had just returned to him, and he hadn't lost interest in her yet.

At first he thought that his feelings towards Ye Xi were the same as his feelings towards other women and that he would lose interest in her soon. However, after so many years, his attachment to her had not diminished but increased.

He couldn't figure it out so he just stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he just didn't want to let go.

His left hand kept caressing Ye Xi's body, and gradually he found the interest. He turned over and covered her without saying a word.

Ye Xi was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by him.

The noise in the room continued for a long time before it stopped. Wei Jue asked someone to go in and wipe Ye Xi's body, while he went to the ear room to wash himself.

After coming back, he fell into a deep sleep while hugging the dry Ye Xi.

Ye Xi felt groggy after waking up. She remembered that not long after she fell asleep last night, she was tormented by Wei Jue for a long time. She cursed him as a beast in her heart, frowning and puffing up her face.

"But are you cursing me in your heart?"

Ye Xi was startled to find that Wei Jue was standing not far away, looking at her without saying a word.

It seemed that the other person heard her getting up outside and came in to check, only to find that she looked unhappy.

"Why is your Excellency still here?"

Ye Xi immediately looked at the sky and discovered that it was already noon but he was still there.

"I'm taking a day off today, otherwise how could I have dared to torment you for so long last night?"

Wei Jue said these words in broad daylight, making Ye Xi's face turn red.

In fact, she had heard Meng Lang say these words many times before, but after all, she hadn't heard them for four years and she was not used to it for a while.

Ye Xi ignored him. She remembered that she was naked and the other party didn't seem to want to avoid him. She didn't know how to start the conversation.

After all, they had done more intimate things, and it seemed a bit hypocritical to ask the other person to dress for her and get out of the way.

But she didn't want to get dressed in front of him. This was a dilemma. How about... lying back and sleeping for a while?

"Why don't you get up? Do you want me to change your clothes?"

Seeing that Ye Xi was about to hide in bed, Wei Jue said, "It's not impossible. I will serve you reluctantly for once."
