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

Chapter 166

Before anyone could see clearly, they heard a bang. It was the sound of the door being pushed open with great force, and the door hitting the wall as it opened and closed.

Then the person seemed to have gone in. The servants were horrified. Who is so brave? !

Just as they were about to go closer to take a look, they heard a familiar roar coming from inside.

"Where are all the dead people? Please ask Doctor Wang to come over!"

It was the master's voice! The servants were so frightened that they hurried to work, without any trace of their previous laziness.

Wei Jue helped the unconscious Ye Xi up and was surprised to find that she was so light. Her originally round face had become pointed and had lost its former rosy glow and turned waxy yellow.

If the person hadn't been lying on the couch, he would have thought it was a different person.

He also found that Ye Xi was not only dressed bulky, but also in a weird way. He pulled her clothes apart with his hands and found that she was wearing too many clothes. He looked around.

There was no charcoal fire, not to mention silver charcoal, there was not even ordinary charcoal fire. He did not forbid her to put on more clothes, so why was she dressed so shabbily?

He touched the quilt again and found that although there were two quilts, they were both very thin and not of the standard for use in winter.

Now, what was there for him to not understand? Ye Xi looked like this, she must have been frozen.

"Someone, bring a thick blanket!"

Wei Jue shouted angrily, and the servants waiting outside the house couldn't help but tremble.

They never expected that the adults would come suddenly, and seeing that they seemed to be very concerned about the girl, they were trembling in their hearts. It seemed that punishment was inevitable.

"Sir, there are no thick quilts here." Xia Mu said aggrievedly, regardless of whether there was any movement outside.

"I didn't mention you. Are all the people outside dead? Where's the butler? Let him come over here!"

Wei Jue's voice pierced the sky and the guards outside the yard could hear it clearly.

The housekeeper, who happened to rush over after hearing the news, was so frightened that his legs went limp. As soon as he entered the room, he came in front of Wei Jue and knelt down without saying anything.

"Sir, I'm here." The butler said tremblingly.

"You're the one who deducted her expenses? And made her so seriously ill?"

Wei Jue asked angrily, his face dark and his eyes were like a sharp knife, sweeping across his body like scraping his skin. He could already feel the pain.

"Old slave deserves to die! Old slave deserves to die!"

The butler began to kowtow. Looking at Wei Jue's expression, he didn't dare to say that this was Wei Jue's intention.

After all, Wei Jue had specifically instructed that no reward money should be given to Ye Xibei this year, and he thought that there was no need to allocate any other expenses.

"He deserves to die! Someone, take him away and give him thirty strokes of the cane." Wei Jue roared, and someone immediately came in and pulled the butler away.

"Sir, please spare me, spare me..." The butler was covered with his mouth and dragged away before he could even utter two words.

"Take him out of the yard and beat him. Don't disturb others." Wei Jue added.

"Sir, the quilt is here!" Two servants trotted to Wei Jue.

Wei Jue had just taken off the quilt on Ye Xi when he discovered that there were several hot water bottles stuffed around her, and those hot water bottles were already cold.

He asked Xia Mu to take away the hot water bottle and the old quilt. When he covered Ye Xi with a new quilt, he accidentally saw Ye Xi's hands, which were red and swollen. It was frostbite.

He quickly covered her with a quilt and then asked someone to burn the silver charcoal.

"Why hasn't Doctor Wang arrived yet?" Wei Jue asked.

"Sir, we're on the way." Xue Jiu said.

"Where did Liusu go?"

Wei Jue then remembered that Xia Mu was a stupid person, but Liusu was not only smart but also had great authority. He actually took care of people like this. How could he not blame him?
