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

Chapter 375

Wei Jue stared at her for a long time before speaking: "Do you really just want to go back to Hangzhou City?"

Ye Xi nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic.

Wei Jue was amused by her: "My master can go back home after recovering from his injury for another half a month."

Another half month? However, Ye Ximing didn't dare to say so, and instead pretended to be "concerned" and asked, "In half a month, will your injury be healed?"

"It won't get better, but it won't hinder my journey."

Hearing this, Ye Xi complained inwardly: This shouldn't affect your journey now. You can even do that, so what's the point of hurrying on your journey?

"That's good. I'll read to you every day to relieve your boredom."

Ye Xi said this in a flattering manner. She was afraid that he would change his mind, whether it was to make her a personal maid or to extend the time he would go back.

In fact, as Ye Xi expected, his current injury would not hinder his journey, but he had to wait for news from the assassin.

He had some thoughts in his mind about this matter. He almost died here, so how could he let those people go easily?

He has already sent the message to the secret agent and is waiting for a reply and a captured person alive.

Yan Wu lived up to expectations and captured two or three people alive. After interrogation, he handed the confessions to Wei Jue.

Ye Xi didn't know what happened afterwards because Wei Jue asked her to avoid it, but she heard later that those who were captured alive all suffered miserable fates.

She could imagine this. After all, a superior like that would definitely have some tricks up his sleeve.

After Wei Jue received the information brought back by the secret agent, which confirmed his guess, his face became gloomy.

The servants who served during those days were trembling with fear, fearing that they would be punished if they were not careful.

Although Ye Xi was not trembling with fear, she remained silent after seeing his expression and tried her best to go along with him in everything.

She always felt that even if the assassin was caught, it would not relieve his hatred, and the matter was probably quite complicated.

Seeing that the half-month deadline was approaching, she did not dare to mention the matter of going back to the other party.

Unexpectedly, the next day Wei Jue told her that he was about to set off back to Hangzhou City and asked her to prepare.

She was so happy. In fact, she didn't have much to prepare. Just a few pieces of clothing, it was not easy for Jin Ling to pack them.

Wei Jue had all the gifts sent by those officials taken away and loaded into several horse-drawn carriages. Ye Xi thought this was extremely extravagant. These local officials really made a lot of money.

Originally, since they had no baggage, they could have returned to Hangzhou City quickly if they had ridden horses.

Now the old man was disabled and had to bring several carts of valuables with him, so their journey was not much shorter than when they came here.

After finally returning to Hangzhou City, Ye Xi couldn't wait to separate from Wei Jue.

"You have been tired recently, but my injury has not healed yet. I will let you rest for three days. After three days, you have to go to the office to take care of me every day." Wei Jue did not stop her, but just gave an order.

Ye Xi nodded and agreed readily, but what she was thinking was, let’s talk about it when the time comes, I’ll be very busy when I get back.

Since they were already in Hangzhou city, Wei Jue didn't ask anyone to send her off to avoid gossip.

Ye Xi and Jin Ling returned to Ye's house together. When Ye's father and mother saw them coming back, they first blamed her for not having any news for so long, and then Ye's mother pulled her aside.

I whispered to her, "We met Ye'er, he is fine."

The three words "He is fine" are full of love for the grandson.

Ye Xi felt a little guilty looking at the mother like this. If she had known that he was willing to let the child have contact with the Ye family, she would have arranged for the parents and child to meet long ago.

"Did he... have any reaction when he saw you?" Ye Xi asked uncertainly.
