Chapter 344
"You have to get used to it. Your parents always value things more, such as... grandchildren." There was something alluring in the tone of Wei Jue's last two words.
But Ye Xi didn’t understand. His parents’ grandchildren were all at home. Could something have happened?
Her face changed. Could it be that he did something?
As soon as Wei Jue saw her expression, he knew that she had misunderstood. This person always thought so badly of him.
He explained helplessly: "Grandpa used the wrong word, I should say, grandson."
grandson?
Wei Ye!
That's it!
The token he gave must be for entering and leaving the government office, so Wei Ye did not follow them.
Then it is very likely that he stayed in the government office, and he asked his parents to go see Wei Ye.
This guy really knows how to manipulate people's hearts. She was wondering why her parents could be bribed by a mere token. It turned out that they were using their grandson to seek credit.
It seems that the idea of grandparents being close to each other works everywhere.
Thinking about it carefully, Ye Xi could understand Ye's father and mother. They had never seen Wei Ye since he was born. At first they thought their grandson was dead, but later they found out that he had been replaced.
Although the person is still alive, the gap in status is there, and they cannot recognize their child openly.
Now that Wei Jue has given them tokens allowing them to see the child, they must be very happy and are probably on their way to see the child.
No wonder he was so impatient to send her away, afraid that he would miss the chance to see the child today.
Ye Xi felt that he must have said more than just this to his parents.
She vaguely guessed that he must have promised his parents something about her identity.
This is what parents care about the most. Although having a concubine doesn’t sound good, it is definitely better than having a mistress.
She didn't really want to talk about this, so she didn't ask any further questions. It was enough for her to know the reason for her parents' change.
There was a silence that followed. Ye Xi was thinking about whether to ask that question, but Wei Jue looked certain that she still had questions, so he didn't urge her, but just stared at her with interest.
In the end, it was Ye Xi who spoke first: "You...why did you suddenly mention Si Yu? What can a child like her do to you?"
She wasn't sure how much he knew, and thought it wouldn't be a coincidence that he knew Siyu's background.
Maybe it was just an accidental remark that hit the nail on the head for her guilty conscience.
"Isn't she the Third Prince's child? Qin Weiyu specifically entrusted her orphan to you, didn't she?"
He knew! Even more than she thought!
Ye Xi was a little terrified and asked tremblingly: "Did you arrange someone around the Third Prince? That's why you know so much?"
Wei Jue did not answer her directly, but just looked at her with a smile. This reaction actually answered her indirectly.
"You... aren't going to reveal Siyu's background and find another job, are you?" Ye Xi asked uneasily.
Wei Jue was amused by Ye Xi's guess: "Xi Niang, it will not benefit us if we betray her. If she dies, your family will not survive. I will not do such a loss-making business."
After he mentioned this, Ye Xi finally understood the pros and cons.
If Siyu's background is exposed, she and her family will be implicated for harboring a traitor and may even die.
Wei Jue cares about her now, so he will naturally not let anything happen to her. What’s more important is that there is Wei Ye.
Although Wei Ye has no relationship with the Ye family on the surface, he is not really unrelated to the Ye family after all.
To put it bluntly, if something really happens to the Ye family, it is entirely possible for Wei Ye to use his relationship with the Ye family to survive.
The Duke's Mansion certainly doesn't want to have anything to do with the rebel, so Wei Jue uses Siyu to lure her out, but he won't really do anything to Siyu.
