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

Chapter 421

Wei Ye seemed to have more interactions with the Yao family. She would occasionally see people from the Yao family entering and leaving the Duke's Mansion, which had never happened before.

Ye Xi had a nightmare at night. After being awakened by the shock, she was frightened again when she turned her face to the side.

Wei Jue stared at her with his eyes fixed. Since he fell ill, there was always a candle burning in the room.

Although the candlelight was dim, it was enough to allow him to see things, in case something happened to him and he was not discovered in time.

This scared Ye Xi to death. Wei Jue's eyes were a little cold, and Ye Xi's scalp was numbing.

"Sir, why don't you sleep?" Ye Xi felt that his voice was trembling.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see you." The voice was also indifferent.

After Ye Xi coaxed the man to sleep, her heart was pounding. She felt that Wei Jue's abnormality was becoming more and more obvious. She had some bad guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to believe it, let alone ask.

She knew it was time for her to prepare for her own way out, so she contacted Ashan, who had recently stayed in the capital.

Today, Ah Shan is doing very well in his life, and he is surrounded by many talented people, many of whom are very skilled.

While the doctor was treating Wei Jue and didn't let her get close to him, Ye Xi went out to meet A Shan.

After arranging everything, he returned to the Duke's Mansion as if nothing had happened.

In the following days, Wei Jue's condition became more serious.

It seems that all the medicines nowadays are ineffective on him. He feels better without taking the medicines, and he just vomits blood.

After taking the medicine, he vomited repeatedly, and what he vomited was a mixture of medicine and blood.

Later, he simply refused to take medicine and even lost his appetite for normal meals. Not only did his complexion become ugly, but his whole body quickly withered and looked miserable.

He knew he didn't have much time left.

Ye Xi had always been by his side, taking care of him and witnessing his decline.

She accidentally learned from the doctor that Wei Jue's poison should have taken effect long ago, but he had been using medicine to delay the onset. It was already amazing that he had managed to hold out for three years.

Nowadays, all medicines and remedies are ineffective because the time of death is approaching.

Ye Xi was trembling all over when she heard the news. She knew that something she didn't want to face would happen soon.

Today she was driven out and stayed with the servants, which was a rare thing.

The servants were all looking at her quietly, all of them were guessing where she would go in the future. After all, the doctor said that the master would probably only live for a few days.

The reason why Ye Xi was kicked out was because Wei Jue called Xue Jiu in for a talk. He cleared the yard again and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Wei Ye might also know what the doctor meant, as he stayed with Wei Jue these past few days and did not go to court.

Ye Xi saw Wei Ye walk directly into Wei Jue's yard.

Now Wei Ye is actually the head of the Duke's Mansion. Even with Wei Jue's orders, the servants guarding the courtyard did not dare to stop Wei Ye from entering and leaving.

Perhaps it was the so-called bond between father and son, Wei Ye had been feeling uneasy these past few days.

When he heard the doctor say that his father didn't have much time left, he simply took a leave of absence from court and stayed at home to take care of his father.

When he heard the guards say that his father was talking to Uncle Xue and that no one was allowed to enter or leave, he didn't take it to heart.

He felt that there were no secrets between him and his father, so he walked in without saying hello.

It was on this day that he heard a secret.

The Wei family has many secrets, and this is just an inconspicuous one, but it is still shocking to him.

He left silently, pretending that he had never been there, and returned to the gate of the courtyard to wait until he saw Uncle Xue coming out before going in.
