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

Chapter 165

When the noises in the yard gradually died down, he knew that she had rested and it was impossible for her to do as he wished, so he hardened his heart and left.

On the first day of the new year, he first drank tea in the main hall, and then went to the study to play chess. Last year, because he could not remember the rules, he lost several games to Ye Xi.

In order to save face this year, he even took out chess, thinking that if he played again this year he would be able to avenge his previous humiliation.

But he didn't expect that even today, although he and she were in the same big yard, it seemed as if there were mountains and seas between them, and the two could not see each other at all.

After fiddling with the chess pieces casually, he felt bored and left the study again.

He began to walk around, pretending to check on people's cleaning results, strolling everywhere. Xue Jiu, who was following behind him, was a little tired from strolling around.

Finally, in the fifth chapter, when approaching Ye Xi's courtyard, he persuaded her: "Sir, if you want to see Miss Ye, why don't you go directly to her?"

In fact, Xue Jiu really didn't understand adults. He obviously liked Miss Ye, but he just couldn't resist seeing her.

It was understandable that I was very busy before and couldn't take care of it, but now it's the New Year and the adults are on vacation at home with nothing to do.

If you really miss Miss Ye so much, why should you endure it?

"Nonsense! When did I ever want to see her?" Wei Jue yelled angrily when his true feelings were revealed.

"If you don't want to, why do you go around and around? You have passed Miss Ye's yard several times."

Xue Jiu has followed Wei Jue since he was a child. Although they are master and servant, they have a friendship similar to that of brothers and dare to speak their minds directly.

Just now, the adults took him around in circles, and every time they passed Miss Ye's yard, they walked very slowly. Once they passed this section of the road, they walked very fast on the way back.

When he arrived in front of Miss Ye's yard, he slowed down again, which was hard not to notice.

Moreover, the adult was too jealous. He still remembered the first time he and Miss Ye pretended to meet by chance in an inn. Miss Ye just said a few more words to him to express her gratitude for giving up her room for him, but the adult was very unhappy.

Everything was targeting him that day, so much so that when Miss Ye came to thank him again the next day, he didn't dare to be too enthusiastic, for fear that the adults would target him again.

"No... no, I just want to take a walk to digest my food."

Wei Jue had been staring at what was happening in Ye Xi's yard, to see if anyone was going to open the door or something like that, and he didn't care whether his behavior was inappropriate or not.

"Sir, let me be fair. If you really care about Miss Ye so much, you should stop ignoring her like this.

You don't know that nowadays servants are greedy for power and look down on the weak. If you do this, they will think that Miss Ye has fallen out of favor and will not serve her attentively.

"It really makes Miss Ye give up. You won't be able to coax her anymore. My mother said that girls still need to be coaxed."

Xue Jiu touched his head, feeling a little shy. It was the first time he talked about this with Wei Jue.

"You don't even have a lover, and you still know how to coax a girl?" Wei Jue despised him.

"I……"

"Go get a doctor! The girl has fainted!"

Xia Mu's panicked voice came from the yard. Wei Jue's mind went blank for a moment. He suddenly turned around and trotted over, pushed open the gate with force, and ran towards the inner room.

The servants in the yard heard Xia Mu's shouting and thought there was nothing to be surprised about, as it was not the first day the girl was sick. Before they could say anything, they saw a shadow floating past them.
