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

Chapter 174

It would have been better if she didn't say it. After she said it, Wei Jue became even more unwilling.

In his opinion, everything she made was her personal property and could not be bought and sold on the street.

In the future, people would definitely say that the Duke's family had bad traditions and had fallen to such a state because of money.

"If you love money, I will give it to you. If all that gold and silver is not enough,

I can give you more shops and land, but it is not appropriate for a woman to show her face in public." Wei Jue advised softly.

"It has nothing to do with these. I just want to realize my own value."

After Ye Xi married Pei Zhu, she actually never thought about struggling for herself. Who doesn't want to lie down and enjoy life? But now the situation has changed, and she can't just eat and wait for death.

She was very clear about the consequences of using her beauty to serve men. If someone forced her to hand over these properties one day, she couldn't risk her life for those dead things.

But the connections she has accumulated in the business world cannot be snatched away easily by others, so she needs to be prepared for both situations.

But she couldn't say these words to Wei Jue.

"Xi Niang's value lies in staying in my backyard. Why does she need to show up in public?" Wei Jue said.

"You! You're unreasonable. But I don't care." Ye Xi risked his life.

"It's not up to you, Xi Niang. We will be returning to Beijing in two months. You are going to waste all this time here and it will be over before it is even finished. Why bother?" Wei Jue said it anyway.

"...So you have already made the decision, and it doesn't matter whether I am willing or not, right?" Ye Xi looked at him.

"Xi Niang, the capital is very prosperous, you will like it." Wei Jue tried to persuade.

"What's the point of prosperity? My family is not there. The capital city only means to you." Ye Xi's eyes were a little red.

"Xi Niang, as a girl, you have to get married. You can't stay with your family forever. This time... just treat it as marrying far away.

Moreover, as your husband, I am also naturally your family member." Wei Jue said.

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment. It was the first time she heard him define their relationship.

In fact, only the mistress who married into his family was his husband and wife. For other people, whether they were concubines or maids, the relationship between them was just that of a slave and her master.

She sneered, "Husband? When did you marry me with three matchmakers and six betrothals? Family? Don't insult the word."

Wei Jue instantly became furious, with veins popping out on his forehead. She had never acknowledged him, never, even though they had slept in the same bed for so many days and nights.

"No matter what you think, you must set off for the capital in two months." Wei Jue suppressed his anger and made a conclusion, not allowing her to refute.

As a result, the relationship between the two entered a cold winter again, and they ignored each other for a month.

Based on the lesson from last time, no one in Ye Xi's yard dared to look down on her.

Xia Mu was already used to it, but Dong Ju had never seen such a scene before and was very worried, so he kept persuading Ye Xi.

When Ye Xi heard Dong Ju say, "The capital is thousands of miles away from here, and it's not easy to survive here," she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Even if she were to go into a cold war with him now, it would not change the fact that she had to go to Beijing, but it would make her lose the opportunity to go home and see her family.

The capital city and Hangzhou are thousands of miles apart. After going to the capital city, even if Wei Jue is willing, she won't be able to return to Hangzhou city several times, not to mention that he definitely won't be willing.

After thinking about it all night, she asked Xia Mu to prepare delicious food and asked Dong Ju to invite Wei Jue over.

Wei Jue was surprised to hear that Ye Xi wanted to see him. He thought that the two of them would definitely quarrel until the day of departure.

He was very curious about what Ye Xi wanted to do, so he happily attended the banquet.
