Chapter 214
Chapter 214
My grandfather's original words were that only the legitimate son was allowed to hold a banquet in the Duke's Mansion, so as not to break the rules.
Because of this sentence, Wei Jue did not return to the Duke's Mansion for a long time.
Finally, Wei Jue wanted to hold a birthday party for Wei Xuan at Yuexi Cottage, but was rejected by Ye Xi again, saying that he wished the whole capital knew that she was a mistress who could not see the light of day.
Because of this incident, he and Ye Xi were in a cold war for a while, and the ice was not broken until Wei Xuan’s first birthday party.
Although Ye Xi didn't let him hold a big birthday party, she still solemnly held a one-year-old birthday ceremony for Wei Xuan.
Now that Wei Xuan is two years old, he feels it is time to take him back to see his grandfather. After all, he is also his child, his grandfather's great-grandson.
He thought Wei Xuan would be shy, but he didn't expect that when he saw his grandfather, he would stare at him curiously for a long time.
Then he actually walked up to his grandfather, grabbed his beard, and pulled it down hard, which frightened him so much that he walked up to him and wanted to hug him back.
In the end, not only did the grandfather not blame him, but he also smiled and hugged Wei Xuan into his arms, saying, "You're already bullying your great grandfather at such a young age?"
This made Wei Jue happy, and he watched the grandfather and grandson playing together.
At the end, the grandfather asked him the child's name. This was the first time the grandfather paid attention to the child.
Wei Jue replied that the child's name was Wei Xuan, and explained the word "Xuan". The grandfather nodded.
After this day, he often brought Wei Xuan back to the Duke's Mansion, one to see his grandfather, and the other to let Xuan'er and Ye'er play together.
He believed that although the two were not born of the same mother, they were still brothers connected by blood, and it was always right to cultivate feelings together from an early age.
Who knows, Ye Xi might move to the Duke's Mansion someday, and then there will be no estrangement between the two brothers.
Just as he expected, his grandfather liked Wei Xuan more and more. When Xuan'er and Ye'er played together, the whole Duke's Mansion was very lively.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he was a child and playing with his brother.
Perhaps it was this lively atmosphere that made my grandfather reluctant to let go, and one day he actually suggested that Xuan'er be raised in the Duke's Mansion and be registered under the name of Yao Yushu.
Wei Jue thought that this method would not only separate Ye Xi and her son, but his grandfather would not even acknowledge Ye Xi's identity, so he became unwilling.
Seeing Wei Jue's silence, Wei Yuan said directly:
"Xuan'er is smart, but he won't have a good future if he stays with that woman. The Duke's Mansion is his future.
Besides, that woman can still give birth to another child for you, so you might as well let her give birth to more.
In order for the Wei family to flourish, two children are still a little too few."
After a pause, he seemed to think it was not enough and continued, "If she doesn't agree, you should take concubines as soon as possible, any number is fine.
Give the Wei family a few more children as soon as possible. The mansion is so big that we can afford to raise as many as we want."
Because of this episode, Wei Jue reduced the number of times he brought Wei Xuan back to the Duke's Mansion.
Ye Xi discovered that Wei Jue seldom took Wei Xuan out recently.
Wei Xuan was a little agitated at first, and kept shouting that he wanted to play with his brother.
Ye Xi had a headache. She had to solve the evil that Wei Jue had done, so she looked unhappy when she saw Wei Jue's face.
Wei Jue also felt Ye Xi's unfriendly look. He knew he was in the wrong and that he had lost more than he gained. He was thinking of ways to make amends.
But Ye Xi suggested faster than him: "Xuan'er just wants to have a playmate of the same age,
Or you could just pick out one or two of the servants' children to play with him.
Children find it fun to play around.”
Ye Xi's suggestion was very good, but it reminded Wei Jue of another thing his grandfather had proposed, which was to let Ye Xi have another child.
Xuan'er is more than two years old, so it won't be a big problem for Ye Xi to have another child.
