Marry a Duke

Chapter 255 Want to Partner

It was indeed she who fed him the medicine before.

He was only half alive at the time, and she was willing to do anything for him just to keep him alive.

Now that his condition is getting better, taking medicine is a piece of cake for him.

He can kill six people with his bare hands.

She looked at his hands, which were long and slender with neatly trimmed nails. His hands were not particularly white or soft, but they were men's hands after all.

He is a martial artist and has light calluses on his hands.

But still a pair of beautiful hands.

Especially when holding a cup or playing chess, it is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Just thinking about the fact that his hands could kill people at will, she felt a chill on her neck.

She should be grateful to him for not killing her.

Otherwise, he could have let her die many times in the nearly two years before that.

She once thought that his evil towards her was just the result of restraint.

She suddenly reached out and touched his palm.

Wei Xuan did nothing but looked at her.

"What do you want to do?"

"Look at your hands. I didn't see you clearly when you dealt with the secret guards of the Princess's residence that day. Wei Xuan, is this Kung Fu easy to learn? Can you teach me a few moves?"

With his ability, even if he learned just a few tricks, it would be enough.

Ordinary people probably can't get close to her.

"You don't need to learn as long as I'm here." He stretched out his hand and pulled her hand holding the medicine bowl closer to him.

Fu Ran understood and started to feed him medicine.

"That won't work. You can't always be by my side to protect me. Danger is always everywhere. Even if Qiao'er is here, forget it. I definitely don't have the talent to learn martial arts."

Wei Xuan didn't answer her until he finished drinking the medicine.

"Practicing martial arts is not easy. You have to endure a lot of hardships. You don't have to endure them without any hardship."

Fu Ran nodded, agreeing very much.

He had been practicing for many years, and she was just in the mood for it, not really wanting to learn martial arts.

The Duke's Mansion has no shortage of guards. If the guards can't protect her, even if she has learned some mediocre kung fu, she will still die in the end.

After finishing the medicine, Xiao Ningzi also brought over the food.

Wei Xuan doesn't eat much.

Fu Ran ate most of it.

She asked him to go to bed and rest first.

"You stay with me." He looked lazy again.

Fu Ran had no choice but to go and accompany him.

She slept soundly and had a pleasant dream.

In the dream, I was a martial arts master and could compete with him.

She was laughing happily in her dream.

Wei Xuan pulled her into his arms and she was unaware of anything.

"Wei Xuan, just admit defeat." She murmured in her sleep.

Wei Xuan was slightly stunned.

After a moment, making sure that she was not awake, he half-closed his eyes and stared at her sleeping face.

"What kind of strange dream are you having?"

*

Fu Ran has been visiting all over the city with Xiao Liuzi these days. Next, she began to plan her direction.

It is better to do something familiar than to do something new.

People eat for food.

She focused on food.

She opened a food shop. Wei Xuan knew that she wanted to cook, so he gave her a few shops.

He really just waved his hand and gave her the deed to the shop.

The shops are all in very good locations.

If you want to rent a shop in these locations, the rent alone will cost a lot a year.

"What do you think? Look at how cowardly you are. You are the wife of the Duke of Weiguo, but you still have to go out and do business. The wealth of our Duke of Weiguo Mansion is beyond your imagination. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay in the mansion and be the wife of the Duke? Why do you have to go out and suffer?

Our Duke's Mansion has more shops than these, and I am just giving you a hand and letting you have some fun."

There are three shops in total, two of which are connected to each other on the same street.

The other one is across the street, a separate shop, also of considerable size, with two floors.

Nowadays, there are people in the Duke's Mansion who are running the business.

Although it is not a business that makes a lot of money.

But you won’t lose money.

Wei Xuan gave her three shops that were not very profitable, and the rest of the shops that were particularly profitable naturally continued to make money.

If she was interested, Wei Lin felt that her second brother would give it to her given his current status.

She also owns several shops, which were her dowry when she married into the Shen family. Now that she and Shen Yan are divorced, she has brought the dowry back, and it is still under her name.

Now she doesn't want to get married at all.

She just wanted to stay at home with her mother. Her sister-in-law was very lonely without her brother, so she stayed at home to keep her sister-in-law company.

With the talent of my second brother, even if he had ten Wei Lins and Lan Yins, they could still live a life of luxury and rely on the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion for the rest of their lives.

"Now that Wei Xuan has sold his shop, I can't let him suffer any loss. When the business takes off, I'll give him a share of the profits." Fu Ran has his own ideas. He has to rely on Wei Xuan for everything in order to succeed.

Then it would be better for her to just be the Duke's wife in the Duke's Mansion.

"Why would my second brother want it?" Wei Lin shook her head. "But, what kind of food business are you in? Tell me. If it's really a good business, I can invest in it."

Wei Lin has quite a bit of private money.

Lan Yin who was standing by also said.

"I, I can too--." She had a dowry and the inheritance left by Wei Qing. Old Madam Wei gave it all to her. She would keep it for Nian'er, but now she can also take out a part of it.

She thought Fu Ran's idea was good. She had been staying in the backyard because it made her feel safe.

But her Nian'er will have to go out and see the world sooner or later.

She didn't want to think her mother was a useless person in the future.

Fu Ran is someone you can trust.

"You all want to join in?" Fu Ran thought it was possible.

Wei Lin is divorced. Although she is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, in this world, divorced women are easily criticized by outsiders.

Lanyin is a widow. As the saying goes, there is always trouble around a widow, so Lanyin doesn't like to go out.

As a woman, you also need to have your own support.

Lan Yin also has a daughter, but Wei Lin has no children.

She needs spiritual sustenance.

"Yes, I'm not short of money, I just want to invest some for fun." Wei Lin said.

Lan Yin also nodded.

"Fu Ran, if you don't mind, I'd like to invest a little too, but not too much."

Fu Ran didn't hesitate for long.

"Okay, we are all family, so let's not talk about our differences. Xiao Liuzi and I have been doing some research outside recently. There are quite a lot of food in Beijing, but most of them are fixed types of food. We can expand it and make people feel fresh at the beginning and come to try it. As long as our taste is among the best, we will definitely have a fixed customer base and we won't have to worry about not making money."

"Then what kind of chef are you looking for? Maybe you have been to Jiangnan and you want to cook Jiangnan dishes?" Wei Lin asked.

Fu Ran gave her a thumbs up.

She is indeed the fierce eldest daughter of the Wei family, and she sees things more clearly than ordinary people.

"I stayed in Jiangnan for a few months. There are many delicious dishes there, and I know some other dishes. By combining them, we can have a unique menu for ourselves."
