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

Chapter 137

"Did you see the iron flowers just now look good?" Wei Jue felt Ye Xi's stiff body and knew that he had scared her just now, so he randomly found a topic to ease the atmosphere.

"It looks good. I like watching this." Ye Xi said softly.

Wei Jue suddenly felt warm in his heart, and the unexpectedness just now dissipated a little, but his chest still felt as uncomfortable as if there was a stone blocking it.

After Ye Xi finished speaking, she became quiet again. The scene of eating dumplings just now reminded her of the trip she went out with Pei Zhu last year.

At that time, Pei Zhu also bought a bowl of glutinous rice balls to share with her. She was very happy eating it and felt that one bowl was not enough.

Pei Zhu refused to let her eat more, fearing that she would get indigestion after eating too many glutinous rice balls, but he bought her other snacks. She felt so happy at that time, but thinking about her current situation, her situation is really sad.

When Wei Jue saw that Ye Xi was in a bad mood, he lost interest in strolling and took her in a carriage directly back home.

After bathing, Wei Jue couldn't wait to start tormenting Ye Xi. The anger in his heart had not yet dissipated.

A few days ago, he specifically asked someone to inquire whether there would be any iron flower performance tonight. If not, he would ask someone to invite a craftsman.

He did not forget that the servants reported that she liked to watch the iron flower making, but he also did not forget that she subconsciously refused to eat the rice dumplings when he asked her to.

This made him urgently need to do something to prove that she was his. She had no right to reject him, not even a little bit!

After finishing, Wei Jue lay aside, staring at the bed curtains with empty eyes. He didn't know whether he was satisfied at this moment.

He felt that his body was satisfied, but he always felt something was empty in his heart. He looked at Ye Xi who had her back to him.

He believed that she would give him whatever he wanted.

Ye Xi turned her back to Wei Jue and pretended to be tired and fell asleep, but in fact she was crying silently.

She was afraid that Wei Jue would pounce on her again, so she could only remain motionless, but tears kept sliding down her face and into the pillow.

Not sure if it was because he caught a cold during the Lantern Festival trip or because he was in a bad mood, but Ye Xi fell ill again the next day.

Wei Dezhong felt a little guilty, and he didn't know whether he felt guilty about taking her out or about torturing her like that last night.

He should have been on duty on the 16th day of the first lunar month, but he did not go in the morning because Ye Xi was sick. After the doctor left, he told the servants to take good care of her before going to the Command Headquarters.

Ye Xi had a long dream. In the dream, she and Pei Zhu were having a great time at her parents’ home. Suddenly, a group of people broke in and forcibly separated her and Pei Zhu. No matter how she screamed heartbreakingly, it was of no use.

Then she woke up with tears streaming down her face.

When Wei Jue came back, Liu Su stepped forward to report the matter, saying that Ye Xi had a nightmare and was scared to tears.

Wei Jue was a little panicked. Ever since he brought Ye Xi to him and had her sleep with him day and night, he had never noticed that she had a nightmare.

He guessed that she was scared by the Lantern Festival incident, and he regretted why he was so anxious. There was still a lot of time to come.

Originally, Ye Xi was sick, and in order to prevent the illness from being passed on to the master, the servants took the initiative to tidy up Wei Jue's original bedroom, thinking that Wei Jue would return to his original place to sleep. Unexpectedly, he still slept with Ye Xi.

Seeing that Wei Jue insisted on doing this, Liusu stopped wanting to persuade him.

Ye Xi's illness recurred several times, and it was not until early February that she finally recovered.

During this period, she realized one thing: her physical condition was too poor. She must have some problems being so afraid of the cold. If she wanted to escape successfully, she had to take care of her body.
