Marry a Duke

Chapter 156 Brother Comes to Visit

Fu Ran was a little bit angry with Wei Xuan. If he had something to do, he could just go by himself, but he insisted on taking her and Wuyou with him.

You see, this will implicate Wuyou and he cried for a long time.

She cried so hard that her heart ached.

After the wet nurse finished feeding, Wuyou finally calmed down after filling his little tummy. He opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and babbled.

The raindrops play along.

Nanny Xu saw that Fu Ran didn't look well and tried to persuade him.

"Madam, children grow up by crying. It's rare for our little lady to cry like this. Don't take it too seriously. It's not worth worrying yourself."

Aunt Xu is old and has a good eye for people.

Fu Ran is worried and unhappy, and the problem is with the Duke.

I heard that the Duke was in a bad mood when he was at the Shen family today. His wife mentioned her own brother and spoke without restraint, asking her how she was living in the Duke's Mansion. If she was not satisfied, he would take her away.

Listen, this is not something a brother should say.

Not to mention that the Duke was unhappy, even she felt uncomfortable when she heard it.

"Madame Xu, I'm not unhappy. Wuyou is fine now." Fu Ran has adjusted his mood and no longer complained for a long time over trivial matters.

Life is short, why bother yourself with trouble.

Wei Xuan went to the study to do some work and said he would come over later.

Before dark, he asked Xiao Ningzi to come and call Fu Ran to go to Qingfuyuan for dinner.

After being rejected by Fu Ran, she felt a little tired and Wuyou fell asleep, so she didn't go over.

Let him go to Qingfuyuan to fulfill his filial duties.

Wei Xuan did not make things difficult for her. After dinner, they returned to Chaoguangyuan. It was not too late yet.

Fu Ran just had a simple meal and was not too hungry. Wei Nian came over and played with Wuyou for a while. Only after Wuyou fell asleep did Wei Nian leave reluctantly.

"Mom, I really want to sleep with Wuyou." Wei Nian was a naive boy, and what he said really made Lan Yin not know how to respond.

She held her daughter's small hand tightly and looked at the stars in the sky.

"If you accompany Wuyou, then who will accompany mom? Nian'er, mom only has you, but Wuyou still has your second uncle and second aunt to accompany her, so Wuyou just needs to accompany mom well." Lan Yin said gently.

Wei Nian nodded vigorously.

Yes, if she goes to accompany her sister Wuyou, what will her mother do?

Mom will be scared at night and have nightmares.

"Mom, I understand. I will always be with you from now on and will never leave you alone." Wei Nian said loudly.

Lan Yin laughed.

"Nian'er is so nice."

The mother and daughter returned to Qingyinyuan under the starlight and moonlight.

Recently, Nian'er has been going to Chaoguangyuan from time to time. Lanyin felt it was inappropriate at first, but after going there many times, she gradually got used to it and felt it was nothing.

As long as Fu Ran has no objection, it will be fine.

Fu Ran settled Wuyou down. The little girl was sleeping on the small bed, raising her two little hands, looking very cute. She helped her daughter pull up the quilt.

There is a faint fragrance on the body that has been bathed.

She didn't want to pay much attention to Wei Xuan.

"I was not thoughtful enough today. Next time I will let the wet nurse accompany me." Wei Xuan said.

Seeing the little guy crying like that, he felt very reluctant to let him go.

Fu Ran glanced at him.

"You don't have to be so delicate."

"The child is still young and will cry when she is hungry. This is not considered pampered. Besides, she is my, Wei Xuan's daughter, so she should be more pampered." He looked at Wuyou in front of the crib for a long time.

Fu Ran felt quite comfortable hearing this.

If he wants to see, let him see as much as he wants. Fu Ran went to bed first.

By the time Wei Xuan lay down on the bed, she had already fallen asleep.

Wei Xuan turned sideways and looked at her for a long while before closing his eyes to rest.

*

The next morning, Wei Xuan went out for something.

Fu Ran was relieved when she didn't see him when she woke up.

Shortly after breakfast, someone came to report that someone was looking for her.

Fu Ran found it quite strange.

She didn't have many friends in Beijing, and she didn't know many people either. No one had ever come to her house specifically to see her.

"Who is here to see you, Madam?" Raindrop asked on her behalf.

"He's a young man, tall and strong, with a loud voice. He said he came here specifically to see his wife." said the doorman.

The image of Yuchi Mingxiu immediately appeared in Fu Ran's mind.

"Is he here alone?"

The concierge replied, "Yes, there is only this young man."

"Where are the others?"

"The old lady welcomed the people to Qingfuyuan first."

Fu Ran frowned slightly when he heard this. The old lady welcomed the person to Qingfuyuan. She was afraid that Wei Xuan had already told the old lady everything that happened in the Shen Mansion during dinner yesterday.

She didn't know what the old lady's attitude would be.

but--

She was really a little worried that Yuchi Mingxiu's straightforward personality would offend Old Madam Wei.

She asked the wet nurse to take good care of Wuyou while she went to Qingfuyuan.

Fu Ran's footsteps were hurried.

Before I even reached Qingfuyuan, I heard Madam Wei's loud voice, mixed with Yuchi Mingxiu's voice.

Fu Ran slowed down his pace.

It seems that Madam Wei is in a good mood and Yuchi Mingxiu has not offended her yet.

She entered Qingfuyuan and Nanny Li reported inside.

So he let her in.

When Yuchi Mingxiu saw Fu Ran coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately stood up to greet her: "My sister is here. I came here today to pay my respects to the elders of the Wei family and to see the family my sister is marrying into."

Fu Ran's lips froze.

Is it so straightforward?

Is she concerned about what happened yesterday? Maybe she feels that she was wronged in the Wei family.

"Fu Ran, Ming Xiu said that he is your brother, and you two even have the same token of trust. If this is true, it is a good thing. You have been lost outside for more than ten years and have suffered a lot. If you can recognize your relationship, it will be God's compensation to you." Old Madam Wei said affectionately.

Thinking about Fu Ran's suffering, it is true that Fu Ran had a very hard life in the past ten years or so, but the original owner did not feel it was hard.

Still living my life steadily.

"Mother is right. I always thought that I was born poor, and it was a stain on Wuyou that she had a mother like me. If I were really the lost daughter of the Yuchi family, Wuyou would be able to hold her head up in front of others in the future." Fu Ran said frankly.

Isn’t this also what the Wei family thinks of her?

Because of her humble status, she was not worthy of being the wife of the Duke of Weiguo.

Although Wei Xuan had a bad reputation, he still held power.

However, those women who wanted to marry into the Wei family had no way at all.

Most of those who slandered the Wei family did so because the Wei family simply looked down on them and they were simply not worthy of Wei Xuan's eyes.

"Don't belittle yourself. You are Wuyou's biological mother. No matter what your status is, she cannot look down on you. Besides, Wuyou is the legitimate daughter of our Duke of Wei's mansion. Who dares to look down on her?" Madam Wei said in a deep voice, "Don't take the gossip outside seriously."

"Yes." Fu Ran followed suit.

"Ming Xiu, although you both have tokens of trust, and you can be sure that Fu Ran is the daughter of the Yuchi family, but now your parents have not arrived in the capital, and have not officially recognized each other, it is still inappropriate for you to meet Fu Ran privately, so you and your sister should talk in my Qingfu Courtyard."
