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

Chapter 245

"The Third Prince is on the run. It's not safe to go back there. You'd better stay in the Duke's Mansion."

Wei Jue didn't expect that Ye Xi would want to go back after hearing all this.

His heart felt as if it had sunk into an iceberg, chilled to the bone.

But he knew that it was not appropriate to argue with Ye Xi at this time. Her emotions were unstable, so it was normal for her to have a bad temper.

"You just said that the emperor is suspicious of the Wei family. If you let me continue to live here, won't I be buried with him if he is punished one day?

Compared to the Third Prince, I think His Majesty is more dangerous."

Ye Xi looked into Wei Jue's eyes, wanting to know how he would react and whether he was planning to drag her down for his own selfish reasons.

Wei Jue froze. That's right, although he had a countermeasure, it was difficult to guarantee the safety of the Duke's Mansion before the countermeasure succeeded.

"Let me take Ye'er away. You are still young. If we can get out of this predicament in the future, you can have as many children as you want.

Ye'er is my only child. Please let me take him away, considering that I have served you for several years without any status or position.

If something unexpected happens in the future, at least there will be some blood left in your Wei family, right?"

Ye Xi felt that his words were perfect. Based on the analysis of the current situation, this was the best outcome.

“It’s too late, Ye’er has already appeared in front of the world, he can’t leave.

Once he leaves, His Majesty will become suspicious of the Wei family, and the Wei family may not be able to hold out for long."

Wei Jue was moved by Ye Xi's words, and now he regretted very much that he had listened to his grandfather's arrangements.

He even wondered if his grandfather had planned this a long time ago and that was why he insisted on letting Xuan'er replace Ye'er.

"…Then let me go."

It’s not that Ye Xi is not heartbroken, but since she can’t take Wei Ye away, she can only go by herself.

This is Wei Ye'er's fate, and she has tried her best.

Ye Xi also admitted that she was selfish. She had accepted her fate and thought that everything would be worth it as long as she could accompany her children as they grew up.

But now, even if she stays in the Duke's Mansion, the child cannot be too close to her.

According to the rules of wealthy families, children born to concubines should be raised by the mistress, for fear that the children raised by concubines would not be presentable.

What's more, the child belongs to the mistress, so how can a concubine be close to him? It is a big taboo to educate him.

If that's the case, why should she stay and watch her child recognize another person as his mother and feel heartbroken all the time?

"Xi Niang! How can you be so selfish? Even if Ye'er is not raised by you, don't you want to see him once in a while?"

Wei Jue couldn't believe that Ye Xi actually said such a thing.

For the first time, he witnessed how cruel this woman was. She couldn't even keep the child with her!

"From the day you took him away, I considered him dead."

Ye Xi didn't know how she could say such cruel words, but she said it anyway.

"No! No!"

Wei Jue hugged her tightly, which hurt her a little, but she held back and didn't say a word.

Wei Jue seemed dissatisfied with her silence. He lowered his head and searched for her pink lips, wanting to kiss her.

"Sir, the emperor has sent someone to summon you to the palace."

Xue Jiu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Wei Jue's movement was interrupted. He froze for a moment, then let go of Ye Xi.

The emperor summoned people, so he had to act as soon as possible, so he told Ye Xi: "You should take good care of your injuries and stop thinking about it."

Ye Xi still said nothing.

Wei Jue stared at her for a while, and thinking that she couldn't fly out of his palm now, he gave up.

He asked Xia Mu to come in and serve him, and then he turned and left.

Ye Xi looked at Wei Jue who was leaving and felt extremely melancholy. Was she really going to spend the rest of her life in this place?
