Chapter 124
After Xue Jiu sent the person out, Wei Jue became angrier and angrier. Finally, he swept all the items on the table to the ground and vented his anger.
Xue Jiu returned to the door and stood quietly, not daring to go in. He thought that since the adults had no other instructions, he might as well stand outside and wait to avoid being affected.
Ever since the quarrel with Miss Ye, the adult's complexion has been getting worse day by day. Now that Miss Ye is sick, not only does his complexion look bad, but his temper is even worse.
Wei Jue finally couldn't bear it any longer and ended his shift early to go back home to see Ye Xi.
I heard from the servants that Ye Xi felt better today. His high fever subsided after taking medicine, but he was still confused.
Wei Jue went to see the man and found that his complexion was indeed better, but he was still unconscious. He sat on the edge of the couch and watched him.
After a while, he reached out and touched her forehead, wondering what she was thinking.
Seeing this, the servants in the room retreated quietly and closed the door.
"It would be fine if you just made me worry, but I didn't expect your whole family to be like this. It really makes me embarrassed.
They are not from any wealthy family, so why do they act so noble and upright? I am really puzzled."
The more Wei Jue thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. The Ye family's behavior clearly showed that they looked down on him.
He was a lord of the third rank, so it would not be disgraceful for him to marry a girl from a humble family, or even a daughter of a higher-ranking official.
In order to avoid being infected with the disease, Wei Jue stayed in his main room for the past two days.
The next morning, after he got up and packed up, he went to see Ye Xi first and found that Ye Xi had woken up and her face was not as pale as before.
As soon as he was happy, he said to Ye Xi: "Xi Niang, you have to get better quickly. Do you know that someone is waiting to see you?"
After hearing this, Ye Xi glanced at him and said nothing, as if she was not interested in what he said.
The people he mentioned were definitely not the ones she really wanted to see. She was too sick to entertain him now.
Seeing that she ignored him, Wei Jue thought that she was still angry with him, so he said, "It's your brother who came. He heard that you were sick and asked me to tell him when you are better so that he can come to see you."
Ye Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Wei Jue, her eyes full of disbelief. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, which made Wei Jue laugh.
"What? Do you still think I'm teasing you? He has come to the Command Headquarters to look for me, how could he be fake?"
"Where is he?" Ye Xi's voice became hoarse, very different from before.
"Originally, I wanted him to live in the mansion so that you two could meet more easily, but he insisted on staying in the inn. When you are better, I will have him brought here."
As he spoke, Wei Jue unconsciously held her little hand and squeezed it gently. He felt that not only Ye Xi's face had become thinner, but even her hands had less flesh.
Ye Xi was silent. She understood the deep meaning of her brother's action. After a while, she spoke: "No, I will go see him after I get better."
Wei Jue frowned after hearing this: "You are about to run away, what if you get sick again? You have to listen to me on this matter, don't discuss it anymore."
Ye Xi gave up. He would not change his decision. She was too lazy to continue talking and closed her eyes silently, pretending to sleep.
Wei Jue thought she was feeling unwell and needed to continue resting, so he stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked the servants to take good care of her.
Perhaps because she knew Ye Xin was waiting for her, Ye Xi felt much better and her illness healed quickly.
On the third day, she couldn't wait to tell Wei Jue that she wanted to meet Ye Xin and asked him to make arrangements.
