Chapter 222
Ye Xi locked herself in the house for several days, and Wei Jue did not show up again because he did not dare to face Ye Xi.
Most of the meals that Xia Mu sent in were sent out intact, and Yuexi Cottage was immersed in a depressing atmosphere.
The servants all knew that the master had taken Master Xuan away and had a quarrel with the mistress.
Not long after, news came that Young Master Xuan had died of illness in the Duke's Mansion.
After hearing this, the lady felt even worse and the servants became even more cautious.
During this period of time, Ye Xi thought a lot.
Wei Jue brought to light a problem that she had never thought about before.
Indeed, she can be a mistress for the rest of her life, without any name or status, but her children cannot.
In this era, the identity of an illegitimate child is shameful and no matter what you do in the future you will be criticized.
She knew this when she was unwilling to have a child for Wei Jue.
Although she was not born and raised in this era, she heard a lot of gossip after she came here.
Even his brother's face was full of contempt when he mentioned an illegitimate child who attended the same school as him at home.
It can be seen how unpopular this identity is.
After having a child, one day she had the idea of earning more money and leaving it to her child so that he would not have to live on others.
But one day he will grow up and know what his identity will bring him.
At that time, would he blame her?
Blame her for causing him to be unable to even become a bastard of the Duke's Mansion because of a momentary anger?
Being a bastard's son, at least it was a legitimate identity, and he would not be looked down upon no matter whether he took the imperial examinations or other things in the future.
But she felt heartbroken to be separated from her child like this.
After so many years, she finally compromised and settled down because of her children.
Now God can't bear to see her have good fortune and has played such a big joke on her.
Forcing the child to stay would affect his future, and she would be unwilling to let the child go.
When he was repeatedly tormented by the choice, Xue Jiu brought the news that Wei Xuan had died of illness in the Duke's Mansion.
She realized that she no longer had the right to speak up and everything was a foregone conclusion.
From then on, there was no longer Ye Xi's child Wei Xuan in this world, only Wei Ye, the young master of the Duke's Mansion.
Now, what she had to do was to help Wei Xuan secure his position as the eldest son. In the future, he must inherit everything from the Duke's Mansion.
This way, she would not be in vain for the pain she had endured in losing him.
What she lost must be taken back from the Wei family.
She wants to use the Wei family's power to go further, and her child wants to get everything from the Wei family!
It was a month later that Wei Jue appeared in Yuexi Cottage.
He had too many things to deal with in this month. First, he had to bury Wei Ye, and then he had to comfort Wei Xuan.
Not long after Wei Xuan arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he found that he could not see his mother, so he began to cry and look for her.
He was the only person in the Duke's Mansion who had accompanied Wei Xuan for a long time, so he had to coax the child all the time and help him go through the adaptation period of leaving Ye Xi.
Furthermore, although Yao Yushu said that he had mistaken Wei Xuan for Wei Ye, Wei Jue was still worried.
Fearing that Yao Yushu would destroy himself along with him, he dismissed all the maids and nannies around Yao Yushu and rearranged his people.
A special person was arranged to take care of Wei Xuan's daily life.
Yao Yushu can get along with Wei Xuan as a mother and child, but she cannot stay with the child alone.
He knew that there were rumors that the young master of the Duke's Mansion was ill, so he spread the news that the young master had recovered under the skillful hands of the imperial physician.
