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

Chapter 248

Ye Xi did not object and put it on him herself.

She lowered her head, but she could feel Wei Jue's burning gaze staring at her.

Her heart skipped a beat. She had been with him for so many years and had had physical contact countless times, but she had never felt the same way as she did today.

She could only explain that parting made people sad.

When she finished putting on the rope and was about to step back, Wei Jue held her face and gave her a deep kiss.

"Take care of yourself." Then wait for him to come back.

He didn't say the last sentence out loud, he only said it in his heart.

Ye Xi lowered her head and said nothing. Wei Jue said, "Let's go."

He helped her onto the carriage and watched her go away. He arranged for a team of palace soldiers to escort her.

After everyone disappeared from his sight, he returned home to bid farewell to his grandfather and inform Yao Yushu.

He was worried about Wei Ye, but he knew that his grandfather would never allow Yao Yushu to hurt Wei Ye.

After all, if anything happens to him, Wei Ye will be the hope of the Duke's Mansion.

Then he also embarked on a journey north, and the two of them went in opposite directions, one south and one north.

Twenty-five-year-old Ye Xi and thirty-one-year-old Wei Jue parted ways and pursued their own careers.

After being away from the capital for five years, Ye Xi finally embarked on the journey home, her heart filled with joy.

When she learned that she could go home, she sent a letter back to the Ye family by express horse.

She and Xin are on the road at the same time, but Xin should arrive a few days earlier than her.

Her letter was to her brother. She was not sure whether she should stay at home with her status, nor was she sure whether her parents would welcome her.

So she asked her brother in the letter to arrange a two-story house for her, and to move out if it was inconvenient at home. There would always be a place for her to live in this big world.

On the way south, she heard that the court had sent troops to the north and that the Huns in the north seemed to be showing signs of invading the Great Zhou.

Now the imperial court has sent troops to the north just in case.

Ye Xi knew that the Great Zhou Dynasty was surrounded by the sea to the east and south, and by continuous mountain ranges to the north and west.

The north is mostly populated by the Xiongnu, and the west is mostly populated by the Qiang people.

If a fight really breaks out on the northern border, the Qiang people in the west may also want to take advantage of the situation and invade, so it is imperative to increase the number of troops guarding the west.

But it's not her turn as a little girl to take care of these things.

She couldn't help but think of the arrogant Wei Jue. Although he was a complete villain to her, she knew that he was very talented.

If he had not been disliked by those in power, he would have been able to make contributions to the country.

She had heard before that in history, some people, in order to consolidate their power, did not hesitate to delay reinforcements and let the vanguard die on the battlefield.

Turning a war that was originally winnable into one that ceded territory in exchange for peace was just to strike at political enemies.

Those soldiers who experienced life and death on the battlefield would never have imagined that they would become victims of others' political manipulation.

It is hard to say that this is not the case with Wei Jue today.

She thought about it carefully and decided that since she had already left, she should just live her life well and let everything else take its course.

However, she still hopes that the country will be stable. The destruction of the country would be a disaster for the people.

After she figured it out, she suddenly realized that she could be in a good mood, and she felt comforted.

After walking on the road for more than twenty days, we finally arrived in Hangzhou City on the twenty-third day.

When she saw the three familiar big words, tears welled up in her eyes. She was finally - back!

What she didn't expect was that her father and mother were waiting for her outside the city gate.

She needed to show her pass and be questioned. When she opened the curtain, she found that Ye's father and mother were looking at her.

She shouted, and then the three of them looked at each other in silence, all of them seemingly too happy to speak.
