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

Chapter 151

He held Ye Xi in his arms for as long as she cried, and his right hand kept stroking her back. As her crying gradually faded away, he knew that Ye Xi was finally tired of crying.

He let go of Ye Xi, looked at her swollen eyes and tears and snot, took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose, and said:

"So ugly. Other women cry like pear blossoms in the rain, but you cry like Zhong Wuyan."

Although he said that, he found that his body was starting to get hot after wiping for a while.

He smiled bitterly. Even if Ye Xi looked like Zhong Wuyan, he still wanted her.

Throwing away the handkerchief, he began to tear her clothes. It had been so long since he last touched her and he really missed her, so he let go and tormented Ye Xi.

This whole process lasted until the sun went down. After Wei Jue got up, he asked the maid to prepare hot water for Ye Xi to bathe, and he took a cold shower.

After coming back and seeing Ye Xi still lying there, he sat aside and said, "I know you are tired, at least get up and wash yourself, and then continue to lie down after dinner, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

Ye Xi ignored him and remained motionless. Wei Jue lowered his head and leaned close to her ear and said, "But do you want me to serve you personally? I don't mind."

"...No need, let Xia Mu in." Ye Xi still couldn't stand Wei Jue's shamelessness.

When Ye Xi came out, she found Wei Jue sitting at the eight-immortal table. The food on the table was untouched, as if he was waiting for her.

"Now you're here, please sit down and have your meal." Wei Jue said.

Ye Xi was indeed very hungry. She had a poor appetite in the past few days and had eaten little. She was tormented again.

Even if she didn't want to eat, her body couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't get sick. She came back to save Pei Zhu, and she couldn't get herself into trouble and fail to save the person.

Ye Xi ate her meal obediently, which attracted Wei Jue's sidelong glance. He thought Ye Xi would resist and use this as a threat to him, so he was ready to continue "teaching" her a lesson.

After finishing the meal, Ye Xi couldn't wait any longer and called Wei Jue who was about to go out. Wei Jue turned around and looked at Ye Xi.

"Now that I'm back, my Lord, when do you plan to release him?" Ye Xi didn't say the name, she knew Wei Jue understood.

"You really didn't hide your purpose of coming back for him at all. Are you so anxious that you can't wait until the next day to discuss this matter?"

Wei Jue was a little unhappy, but when he thought about the few hours he had just tortured her, he felt relieved.

"For a transaction, it's better to pay for the goods first." Ye Xi said bluntly.

These words were like needles piercing his body. Although Wei Jue wanted to get angry, he suppressed it.

He looked Ye Xi up and down and had some ideas in mind.

"The news has spread everywhere. It's impossible to let him go. Otherwise, it will damage my reputation."

This sentence caused Ye Xi to turn around and glare at him, but Wei Jue seemed not to notice and continued, "But Xi Niang, don't worry too much. I have my own way to protect him. But before that, I have to make proper arrangements for you."

Ye Xi had no interest in his arrangement. It was nothing more than house arrest, which meant she would lose the freedom she had before. She had prepared herself mentally before coming back.

But unexpectedly, after this day, Ye Xi didn't see Wei Jue for several days in a row.

She asked Liusu indirectly about where Wei Jue was going, but Liusu was no longer so enthusiastic about her because of the previous incident in which she was implicated, and she did not answer her questions most of the time.

Only the naive Xia Mu could still say a few words to Ye Xi, and he served her as attentively as before.
