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

Chapter 168

Wei Jue found that he seemed to have underestimated Ye Xi's position in his heart, so he should be nicer to her in the future.

Now he is not married yet, and she is the only one by his side. If he does not pamper her, when the mistress comes to the mansion in the future, he will have to consider her wishes, and she will inevitably be wronged.

When Ye Xi woke up, she felt very uncomfortable and had severe heartburn. She knew she was too hungry, but the thought of the rotten food made her stomach feel even worse.

Suddenly, she noticed that the quilt on her body did not seem to be the one she usually covered with. She felt a dark shadow beside her. She turned around and saw that it was Wei Jue.

She was stunned for a moment. Was she hallucinating because of hunger? But what could she do when she saw him? Would she eat him?

He is not a chicken, duck, fish, goose, or any other delicacy. She frowned unconsciously, pouted her lips, and stared at Wei Jue with dissatisfaction.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"

Wei Jue naturally did not miss the disgust on Ye Xi's face. He thought she was blaming him and asked in a flattering way.

"I want porridge, shredded chicken porridge." Ye Xi was not polite. She was really starving to death.

"Let them bring the food up." Wei Jue shouted to the outside, then helped Ye Xi up.

Ye Xi just sat up and found that the room was much warmer. It turned out that the silver charcoal was burning. Now, she felt a little too hot. No wonder she was sweating in her sleep.

She was about to take off some of her outer clothes in front of Wei Jue, but just as she started, she found that Wei Jue was staring at her, a little dazed.

She glared back and said, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

"How about I help you?"

Wei Jue blurted out. He actually had no other thoughts. He was just worried that Ye Xi didn't have enough strength.

But to Ye Xi it didn't sound quite the same. She thought he was still thinking about trivial things at this time, and that calling him a beast was overestimating him.

She said angrily, "No, get out!"

Wei Jue finally understood what Ye Xi meant. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'll let Xia Mu come in to help you."

Then he stood up and walked out. Someone outside the door seemed to hear him say something and he didn't come in again.

Not long after, Xia Mu came in and helped her take off several outer clothes. Xia Mu also brought a basin of warm water for Ye Xi to wash up. After all, Ye Xi's appearance was dishevelled and looked really unsightly.

Ye Xi knew that she had been sick for the past few days and would definitely not be able to see anyone if she hadn't washed herself. Now that she was able to get up, she might as well clean herself up.

After a simple tidy up, the food was ready, and Ye Xi quickly asked Xia Mu to help her eat.

She felt that if Xia Mu was not there, she would have to crawl over to eat.

She had just taken a few mouthfuls of porridge when Wei Jue walked in and sat down next to her.

She ignored the other person and just ate and drank. Because she couldn't eat the hard dishes for the time being, she only picked out some easy-to-eat dishes.

Wei Jue served her food without saying a word.

When Ye Xi was almost full, she noticed that something was wrong with Wei Jue today. She did not delve into his actions in the past few days.

She knew what he was thinking, and she chose to bear it to show her attitude.

She thought she would die here, but unexpectedly there was a sudden turn of events.

In fact, she felt very uncomfortable after that night. How could she not feel pain when she saw Pei Zhu remarrying with her own eyes? But she also knew that Pei Zhu was lucky to be alive, and she couldn't have it all.

For a period of time afterwards, she was depressed and had no time to care about Wei Jue's coldness towards her. She was happier when he didn't come during that time, so she didn't have to face the culprit every day.

Time will fade everything. During those trapped days, she gradually forgot the intense heartache she felt at the beginning, and began to accept the fact that Pei Zhu had left her.
