Marry a Duke

Chapter 109 Eating Together

When they arrived at Qingfuyuan, the old lady took Wuyou from Wei Xuan's hands and lamented that Wuyou looked 70% like Wei Xuan when he was a child. Fu Ran disagreed. Looking at Wei Xuan's current appearance, could it be that he looked feminine when he was young?

The old lady also talked about some things in Wei Nian’s childhood.

Wei Nian is the first grandchild of the Wei family. Her arrival gives Lan Yin hope of life and also brings comfort to the old lady.

The old lady was also very disappointed once, wondering why Wei Nian was not a son.

If it was a son, he would be able to continue Wei Qing's bloodline.

If Wei Nian was a son, Wei Xuan would not even want the title of Duke. He would leave it to his brother's son to inherit the title.

All I can say is that nothing in the world goes as planned.

"You and Xuan'er are still young. It would be good if you give birth to a little girl as your first child. After resting for two years, you can have a son. Our Wei family must have a bloodline to carry on the family." The old lady held Wuyou for a long time before handing him to the wet nurse and letting Wei Xuan and Fu Ran sit down to have breakfast.

The old lady was not in a hurry to put so much pressure on Fu Ran.

She had just finished her confinement and had a difficult delivery. She was still scared of giving birth, so she said she would take a two-year break until she recovered.

Fu Ran just smiled and didn't respond.

She never thought of giving birth to another child for the Wei family.

Having Wuyou is enough for her. As a person who has died once, she just wants to live well and accompany her Wuyou as he grows up.

Wei Xuan glanced at Fu Ran and did not miss the disapproval on her face.

He didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Fu Ran would take Wuyou back to Chaoguangyuan.

"Wuyou will wake up soon. She will make a fuss when she wakes up. I will not disturb my mother. I will take her back first."

Old Madam Wei saw that she really didn't want to stay in Qingfuyuan, so she didn't make things difficult for her. She just asked her to bring Wuyou over to accompany her more often in the future.

Fu Ran responded emptily.

Fu Ran left Qingfuyuan and went nowhere else, but went straight back to Chaoguangyuan.

Wei Xuan was about to go out when he was stopped by Old Madam Wei.

"You and Fu Ran have already given birth to a child. Live a good life in the future. Once she recovers, give birth to a son as soon as possible." Wei Xuan still had to implement this matter.

Wei Xuan agreed.

"Don't worry, mother. Everything has its own progress. Don't rush it."

Madam Wei shook her head, with worry in her eyes.

She once thought that there was no need to rush, but her husband was gone, and her eldest son was also gone. If she had arranged a marriage for her eldest son earlier, and got married two years earlier, perhaps there would be more children in the house now.

"Mother won't force you. Mother knows you have your own plans."

After Wei Xuan left the house, he went straight to do some work and returned before dinner.

Fu Ran didn't know that he came back early.

Wei Nian came over to play with Wuyou.

She told the story to Wuyou and Wei Nian together.

She looked for some books suitable for children on the market, but there were few story books, except for Hundred Family Names, Thousand Character Classic, and Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars.

The one or two books I found were also mainly educational, and the whole story was about teaching people how to behave in society.

That's too deep for children.

Fu Ran couldn't find a suitable one, so he compiled a few books himself, which were interesting and educational.

Wei Nian liked listening to it very much.

There are things to play, things to listen to, and delicious food at Chaoguangyuan. Wei Nian doesn't want to go back to Qingyinyuan at all.

If her second uncle hadn't come back in the evening, she would have just wanted to stay in Chaoguangyuan all day.

Wei Nian is not afraid of Wei Xuan, but Lan Yin is different.

She knew that Wei Xuan truly loved Wei Nian, but they could not take advantage of this favoritism and cause trouble to Wei Xuan's life.

Therefore, Lan Yin would definitely pick up Wei Nian after dinner every day at the latest.

For dinner today, Fu Ran asked the kitchen to prepare mushroom river soup and honey-glazed roast duck, leaving the duck legs for Wei Nian.

Wei Nian couldn't stop thinking about it, and Lan Yin came to take it several times but never took it back.

"Mom, there's something delicious tonight. It's really delicious. I must stay and eat with my aunt." Wei Nian insisted.

Lan Yin couldn't bear to say anything harsh to her.

"If you want to eat it, let's ask the kitchen to make one more. Your uncle should be back soon."

"Uncle will come back if he wants to. I'm not afraid of him, and he won't drive me away." It's just that when Uncle is angry, he doesn't say a word, which is a bit scary.

But my second uncle never loses his temper with her.

Wei Nian is still a child, and children's minds are naturally pure. She won't think so far.

Lan Yin felt weak all over.

"Sister-in-law, please stay and eat with us. I asked the kitchen to prepare a roast duck, but the portion is quite large and we can't finish it. It would be a waste if you don't stay and eat with us." Fu Ran originally wanted to invite Lan Yin to eat with him.

Lan Yin's eyes were filled with tears. Fu Ran was an easy person to get along with.

She is also really good to Wei Nian.

Lan Yin didn't know how to refuse, and since Fu Ran invited her so warmly, she stayed.

Yudi and Qiaoer were just about to go to the kitchen to bring dinner when someone from Qingfuyuan came.

Ask Fu Ran to go to Qingfuyuan for dinner.

Fu Ran's expression froze. She had just been there for breakfast and was going again for dinner.

There was uneasiness in Lan Yin's eyes.

"I'll take Nian'er back first. Maybe my mother has something to tell you."

Fu Ran originally wanted to nod, but after seeing Wei Nian's eyes, he made up his mind.

"Sister-in-law, you and Nian'er please go with me."

Lan Yin froze.

"This, this is not appropriate." She didn't want to go.

"Sister-in-law, you also know how difficult my position was when I first came to the Duke's Mansion. Even if the situation has eased a little now because of Wuyou's birth, it is still impossible to act as if nothing happened."

Her eyes were slightly red and she looked sad.

"The old lady may want to make up for the injustice she did to me before, but I really don't know how to deal with it. Sister-in-law, can you accompany me and help me to be brave?"

If she went with Lan Yin, taking Wei Nian and Wu You with them, it was unlikely that the old lady would summon them to Qingfuyuan for meals every day.

After all, she still felt a little uncomfortable in front of the old lady.

How can you live if you can't even eat comfortably?

Lan Yin was a soft-hearted person. After hearing what Fu Ran said, she couldn't say no and could only nod.

She also remembered that when Wei Qing had just passed away, the old lady was considerate of her and often asked her to go to Qingfuyuan to have meals with her and talk with her. In fact, she was also uncomfortable, but at that time, there was no one to accompany her.

She went there every time with gritted teeth.

Fu Ran ordered Yu Di to deliver dinner directly to Qingfuyuan.

It was only when I arrived at Qingfuyuan that I found out that Wei Xuan had returned home.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn when he went out that morning.

She didn't know he had returned because he didn't go back to Chaoguangyuan to change clothes.

The old lady was surprised when she saw Lan Yin and Wei Nian, but she didn't show it.

The eldest daughter-in-law and Wei Nian haven't had a meal with her for some time.

"It's good that everyone is here. Come and sit down. Li Niang, start serving the meal." The old lady instructed Madam Li.

Nanny Li smiled and immediately asked the maid to serve the meal.

In addition to the dishes that had been arranged previously, there were a few more dishes on the table, including a honey-glazed roast duck, which smelled very fragrant.
