Marry a Duke

Chapter 105 I slept so well

Wei Xuan had no intention of staying in her room overnight.

She risked her life to give birth to his daughter, and now everyone in the capital knows about it. They have also seen that she is the wife of the Duke of Weiguo, and he has no plans to change her.

As long as she keeps her duties and does her best to raise her daughter, she can remain the wife of Duke Weiguo.

And he and she are husband and wife.

That night, he really decided to stay.

Fu Ran didn't react at all. He had already showered and changed into pajamas. He didn't need to bring anything else. He just told Xiao Ningzi to bring his court robes early the next morning.

Wuyou was whining at this time, and Fu Ran held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her gently. For a moment, she couldn't guess what Wei Xuan was thinking.

"Let me hold you." He held out his hand.

Fu Ran hesitated for a moment, but still handed Wuyou to him. He was the child's father and he should hold the child.

Wei Xuan held the little baby in his arms. The baby was so soft that he didn't dare to use any strength at all. There were not many youngsters in the Wei family, and Wei Nian was the only one at the moment. He had held Wei Nian in his arms when he was young, but not often.

Because my eldest brother passed away and I have a widowed sister-in-law, I have to avoid suspicion in everything.

He really felt sorry for Wei Nian, and could only compensate her in other ways.

When she was older, Wei Nian was willing to stay close to him, and he took it for granted that she should be held in his arms, but by then, she was no longer the soft ball she was when she was little.

After a while, Wuyou fell asleep again, but Wei Xuan did not let go.

Fu Ran felt relieved. It seemed that Wei Xuan just wanted to spend more time with Wuyou. This was a good thing and she would never stop him.

"If you want to spend more time with Wuyou tonight, just bring Wuyou to your room. If Wuyou is hungry or has peed, you can replace the wet nurse." After all, they all lived in the same yard.

There are also maids on duty at night.

"No need to bother." He carried Wuyou straight to the bed, which made Fu Ran's eyes widen. He slowly lay down with Wuyou in his arms, and pulled the quilt over him gently.

The bed is big enough for three people to sleep.

But Fu Ran didn't want to get on that bed at all. It was a scary thing to sleep on the same bed with him.

Their memories of the first time were not very good.

Fortunately, I was born into a happy and carefree life.

Fu Ran gave the wet nurse a few instructions before she leisurely went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came out refreshed, the two people, one big and one small, on the bed were already asleep.

Wuyou was lying next to Wei Xuan, and the little face that looked somewhat similar to him made Fu Ran dazed for a moment.

She carefully and gently crawled into the bed. The bed was big enough, but Wei Xuan was very tall. When he lay down, his long legs blocked all her way.

She had to crawl over his legs and get to the inside of the bed. She lay down gently, turned her face to the side, and stared at her daughter's little face.

After a long while, she gently placed her index finger into Wuyou's little hand, closed her eyes contentedly and fell asleep.

Fu Ran slept very deeply this time.

She didn't even know Wuyou had woken up.

The next morning, when I woke up, there was no one around me.

Neither Wei Xuan nor Wuyou was seen.

Fu Ran hurriedly got out of bed, and Qiao'er was waiting outside the door.

"Madam is awake. I will bring you some water right away."

Fu Ran nodded and glanced outside: "Where's the young lady?"

"The nurse took him over to feed him."

Qiao'er came in with the water and Fu Ran followed her into the bathroom.

"Where is the Duke?"

"The Duke got up and went out early in the morning." Qiao'er replied truthfully.

Hearing that he had left the house, Fu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Well, maybe he was just in a whim yesterday. She thought she would not be able to sleep well all night, but last night, she did not wake up once.

Fu Ran brushed his teeth and washed his face.

"Wuyou was very well behaved last night and didn't make any noise."

Qiao'er looked at her strangely.

"Ma'am, the young lady woke up twice last night."

Twice?

Fu Ran had just washed her face, so it was still wet. She looked so dazed and adorable.

"How come I don't know?" she frowned.

Could it be that she was really sleeping so soundly that she couldn't even hear Wuyou's crying?

"The little lady didn't cry much last night. She whimpered a few times, and then the master took her out and asked the nurse to feed her and change her diaper."

Wuyou was on guard last night and saw everything clearly from outside.

I’m afraid the master didn’t sleep much the whole night.

There is still a faint shadow under my eyes this morning.

"Did he stay up all night staring at Wuyou?" Fu Ran muttered. When he came out of the bathroom, Yudi had already brought him breakfast.

"Madam, it's time for dinner."

"Okay." Fu Ran drank a glass of water first, then a bowl of red date porridge, and a vegetable cake and was full.

After breakfast, the nanny brought Wuyou over.

Fu Ran held Wuyou for a while before putting her in the crib.

Wuyou hummed for a while and fell asleep again.

The little guy was quite well behaved and didn't cause too much trouble to the adults.

Wei Xuan was dressed in official uniform, looking very imposing. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and looked like a clothes hanger.

He was a military general with strong muscles. Few people could withstand his punch.

But he has a handsome face, and when he is silent, he looks just like a handsome scholar.

“No matter how busy Duke Weiguo is these days, he must take care of his health. There are traces of blood under his eyes.” The speaker was the king’s uncle, Nan Jingyan. He was a few years younger than Wei Xuan. Thanks to his elder sister entering the palace as queen, he now had a fifth-rank position in the court.

Wei Xuan didn't even look at Nan Jingyan.

Nan Jingyan refused to give up.

He and Wei Xuan have known each other for many years. Wei Xuan has always been aloof, but Nan Jingyan doesn't mind at all.

The fewer friends Wei Xuan has, the closer he seems to Wei Xuan.

Now everyone in the court knows that the Duke of Weiguo and the King's Uncle are on good terms.

"If you don't believe me, look in the mirror." Nan Jingyan took out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to Wei Xuan. "There are so many civil and military officials in the court, but I am the only one who can see that you are different. What do you think? The relationship between us is really special, isn't it?"

Wei Xuan stared at the small mirror he handed over with an expressionless face.

This should not have been in a man's hands.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nan Jingyan with his dark eyes.

"The things used by the King's Uncle are so feminine, does the Queen know about this?" Wei Xuan didn't want Nan Jingyan to get too close. Once there were rumors, he would be affected.

Nan Jingyan snorted indifferently.

"The Queen is my eldest sister, how could she not know that I have loved handsome men since I was a child? Men's love for handsome men is the same as women's love for beauty. It is natural and there is nothing wrong with it. How could my eldest sister blame me?"

Wei Xuan asked him to put the mirror away.

"Don't be embarrassed."

Nan Jingyan complained a few words unhappily.

"This is a private matter. How can your wife tolerate such a lack of understanding of romance?"

Wei Xuan paused, and Nan Jingyan couldn't stop the car and almost hit Wei Xuan.

He avoided it.

"Today's morning court, the emperor will discuss the affairs of Suizhou, and you will report to him."
