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

Chapter 422

Wei Jue was very pleased when he saw Wei Ye coming in.

"I don't think I can stay for too long. According to the rules of our dynasty, you should observe mourning after I'm gone. But don't worry, I've already made arrangements.

At that time, you will still be in mourning, and although you will not hold an official position, you will enter and leave the palace as the emperor's teacher and perform the duties of a tutor.

After the three-year mourning period is over, you can take any official position you want."

"Yes, father."

"Many of the Wei family's secrets and the hidden assassins and assassins they have been training have been handed over to you, and you have done a great job in the past few years.

But we have to pay attention to His Majesty. Today, the Wei family is able to call the shots because of their meritorious service to the emperor, but that is because His Majesty is still young.

As the Queen Mother's family is weak, if things get out of control in the future, you can do whatever you want."

As he spoke, Wei Jue coughed a few times before continuing.

"I have suppressed your maternal ancestors for so many years just to intimidate them, but now I am almost dead.

You need obvious support, so I promoted your grandfather and uncle to higher positions.

Those officials who have followed me for many years have also been handed over to you. You must use them well.

Remember, you have to strike a balance in this regard, so that they can play a role in your hands without getting out of your control.

If one day they decide to become your enemy, do not show any mercy."

"I know, kid."

"I have already told Xue Jiu what to do after my death, so you can just listen to him.

Your great-grandfather hasn't been in good health recently, so you have to take good care of him. It would be your fault as a father to have him die before another one.

Also, don't learn to be like your father. After the mourning period, marry more wives and concubines to expand the Wei family. If something happens in the future, the Wei family will not be extinct."

Wei Jue finally suddenly warned Wei Ye.

"I will obey my father's orders."

"Go out and let Xi Niang come in."

This day finally came. Wei Jue was lying on the bed looking at the people surrounding him.

Wei Yuan has fallen ill, and the people who stay by his side are still the same few people. Wei Jue has already explained everything he wanted to tell Wei Ye.

At this time, I just reminded him, "Don't forget what I said."

Wei Ye nodded with red eyes.

Wei Jue then gave everyone a formal explanation and asked them to leave, leaving only Ye Xi.

When Yao Yushu left, her eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Ye Xi. She hated Wei Jue for not giving her, his legal wife, any face at this time.

She also hated Ye Xi for making her live without dignity for so many years.

When everyone left, Wei Jue held Ye Xi with his hand, which was as dry as a stick of firewood.

In just a few days, his face began to look dead.

"Xi Niang, we will be husband and wife in the next life. Tell me, do you still blame me today?" Wei Jue stared at her.

Ye Xi knew the impact her answer would have on this man.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any. Her life could have been very happy. Although she was not rich, she did not pursue those things.

But the man was about to die, and she didn't want to anger him, so she lied.

"I'm already this old, so what's so strange about it? I have to thank you for taking care of me over the years."

Wei Jue's gaze dimmed as he stared at her. He knew it would be difficult to hear what he wanted from this young lady. After all, she had been stubborn for a long time.

He smiled bitterly. Why did he end up in the hands of this young lady in his life?

"You don't have to thank me. You are my woman, and I should take care of you. If you can share a little of my love, my life will be complete."

Wei Jue waited for Ye Xi's answer for a long time. He turned his head and looked at the gauze curtain above his head, his hand still holding Ye Xi's hand.

The process of waiting for death is long and painful.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, he felt the pain in his body begin to disappear, and then he saw her charm as she was when he first met her.

That was the beginning of their ill-fated relationship, and he was so immersed in it that he didn't want to wake up.
