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

Chapter 123

Ye Xi's brother, isn't that his brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, he chewed on these three words, not knowing what it felt like.

Then he thought that Ye Xi's illness was related to her family, and her family coming to his house was like timely rain.

"Please ask him to come in." Wei Jue stood up.

Soon, Xue Jiu brought the person over.

"Your humble servant Ye Xin pays his respects to His Excellency." After Ye Xin came in, he knelt down to pay his respects to Wei Jue.

Actually, he was already a juren and didn't have to kneel before Wei Jue. However, he didn't expect that the first official he would meet would be a high-ranking official like the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. So he was nervous for a moment and behaved as if he were still a commoner.

"Please stand up quickly. There is no need for these empty formalities between us."

Wei Jue quickly helped the man up, then looked at Ye Xin carefully. He found that Ye Xin and Ye Xi were indeed somewhat similar.

Ye Xin couldn't help but look up at Wei Jue and found that Wei Jue was not only very young, but also very handsome. No wonder his sister would do such a ridiculous thing.

The two were speechless for a moment. Wei Jue thought he was a man who could get along with everyone, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"...Brother-in-law, I wonder what brings you here?" Wei Jue hesitated for a long time before finally calling out this title.

Ye Xin was stunned. Being called brother-in-law by such a high-ranking official, his heart suddenly trembled. He felt a little overwhelmed and did not react for a while.

Wei Jue didn't know why the other party remained silent. He couldn't help but frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ye Xin speaking.

"Sir, my family received a letter from my sister a few days ago. My father and mother were a little confused. I was afraid that there would be misunderstanding, so I came to Suzhou City to see my sister. I wonder if it is convenient?" Ye Xin chose his words carefully.

Wei Jue felt unhappy after listening to this. The other party was being polite. His parents clearly disagreed, and the other party was vague about it. The unhappiness in his heart was dispelled by Ye Xi's illness.

"Of course it is convenient, but it's my fault for not taking good care of her. Xi Niang just happened to be sick.

Brother-in-law, why don't you stay at the mansion first, and when Xi Niang gets better, I will make arrangements for you?"

Ye Xin didn't expect that Ye Xi was actually sick. He was very worried. In the Zhou Dynasty, the separation between men and women was not so strict. In the past, he could go and see his sister when she was sick.

What Wei Jue said now meant that they could not see each other until Ye Xi recovered from her illness.

Ye Xin couldn't help but frown, but since he was under someone else's roof, he couldn't be rude.

"After my sister's health improves, please send someone to Fulai Inn to inform me, and I will go to visit her again." Ye Xin said.

Seeing that the other party refused the proposal to live in his house, Wei Jue glanced at him lightly and instantly understood what was going on.

As the saying goes, like father, like son. If the parents disagree, the son should also disagree.

From the moment Ye Xin entered the door, he treated him with great respect, without the slightest intention of trying to establish a relationship with him, and he did not give a direct response when Ye Xin called him "brother-in-law".

He knew that the other party probably came to Ye Xi to confirm what she said, nothing else.

Wei Jue was very unhappy. What kind of family did he run into? No one was smart from top to bottom.

Since the other party didn't give him a good face, why should he give them face?

"Okay, okay. Since Mr. Ye insists, why not wait for a few days?" Wei Jue said.

When Ye Xin heard Wei Jue change his address to him from "brother-in-law" to "Mr. Ye", he knew that his refusal had made the other party unhappy. However, he really couldn't accept a new brother-in-law all of a sudden.

"Thank you, sir. I'll take my leave now." Ye Xin didn't waste any words.
