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

Chapter 131

Time passed quickly. Liusu's injury healed and she was arranged to come back to serve Ye Xi. Cuilan should also come back according to reason.

But Ye Xi felt that there was no need for so many people, so she told Wei Jue to keep Xia Mu and no longer needed Cui Lan to serve her, so she always had two maids by her side.

Ye Xi originally wanted to tell Wei Jue that she didn't want Liusu to serve her, so that she could get rid of Liusu's surveillance. However, after what happened last time, she didn't dare to do so, fearing that Wei Jue's guard, which had already been lowered, would rise again.

"Miss, the New Year is coming soon. My master asked me to ask you if there is anything you need to prepare specially so that I can prepare it." The housekeeper in the mansion asked.

"The New Year is coming so soon?" Ye Xi muttered to herself after hearing this. After a while, she said, "I don't have any here. You can arrange it yourself."

"Miss, here are two portions of silver. This portion is for you, and this portion is for rewarding your servants during the New Year."

"Put it down. Thank you for your help. I'd like to invite you to have some tea."

Ye Xi came back to his senses and took two bags of silver from the reward money and handed them to the housekeeper.

"Oh, no, I don't need it." The butler declined.

"Take it. You have worked hard and made great contributions. You deserve it."

Ye Xi knew that the other party was just pretending to make excuses. If she really didn't give it to him, he might create trouble for her in the future.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with.

"Thank you for the reward, young lady." After receiving it, the butler left with a smile on his face.

This year is Wei Jue’s first New Year since he was transferred to the local area. His home is in the capital.

Because he had just arrived in the local area, he could not return to Beijing without the imperial edict, so he could only celebrate the New Year there.

Years ago, he sent people to deliver letters and gifts back to Beijing, taking care of all the relationships at home and other that needed to be taken care of.

As the year draws to a close, he has already taken vacation at home.

Ye Xi has always felt a lot of pressure from Wei Jue in the mansion. In the past, she only had to face him at night, but now she has to meet him day and night, which is really a bit too much for her.

Fortunately, Wei Jue was not the kind of person who indulged in sensual pleasures all the time. He spent most of his time during the day either sweating on the training ground or studying military books in the study. He also set up a sand table in his mansion to facilitate his simulated command.

Generally speaking, Ye Xi's life was not that difficult, but she still couldn't avoid the fact that sometimes he would suddenly get in the mood and grab her for sex no matter day or night.

Ye Xi is afraid of the cold in winter and doesn't like to walk or take a bath. Wei Jue discovered at the beginning that Ye Xi always likes to wrap herself up like a dumpling.

The beauty of the woman's figure was not apparent from her clothes, and one might have thought that she was just afraid of the cold.

When I occasionally smelled the sour smell on her body when we were intimate, I realized that she was so afraid of the cold that she didn't even want to take a regular bath.

She was not at all afraid of the bad smell on her body, and only then did I realize that she was so afraid of the cold.

He asked people to light the charcoal fire, and the whole room was warm, but Ye Xi still didn't want to take a bath.

So he got angry and personally took her to take a bath. Ye Xi was unwilling to cooperate, so he suppressed her with brute force, and the two of them had a big fight over the bathing issue.

Wei Jue began to doubt his own taste because of this incident. How could he fall for such a sloppy young lady?

Not only does she lack the gentleness and grace of a woman, she can't even maintain basic cleanliness. But he has no other choice but to sulk and serve her himself.

The first time he forced Ye Xi to take a winter bath, Ye Xi let out a ghostly howl like a pig being slaughtered, making the servants in the mansion think that he was going to kill Ye Xi.

Later on, people found out that it was he who bathed Ye Xi, which made him feel so ashamed. As a minister, he had to help a concubine take a bath.
