Marry a Duke

Chapter 307: Husband and Wife

The mother and daughter talked about what happened in the teahouse today.

Fu Ran was actually not familiar with these princes. They had not been to the capital for a long time, and not many people in the capital knew them well.

But Shen Fengan had heard her husband mention it, and as she was the daughter of the Duke of Shen's mansion, she knew something about these things.

In addition to the Prince of Yan, there were also a Prince of Wu and a Prince of Changle who were recalled to the capital this time.

"You have seen the Prince of Yan. I have heard your father mention him. He lives in Yan and is usually low-key. Because the emperor is far away, the Prince of Yan's mansion is considered a local tyrant. Perhaps his followers are used to being rude and think they can do whatever they want when they come to the capital."

Shen Fengan said with a smile: "This matter will surely be reported to the palace soon. The Prince of Yan may not stand a chance as he is not good at disciplining his servants and is rude to the people."

"I also feel that he did not discipline his servants at all when they did such a thing in public, and he had no regard for the suffering of the people."

If such a person really comes to power, ordinary people will suffer.

The ministers who were favored by him could naturally thrive like fish in water.

"There is another Wu Jun Wang in the north. The Wu Jun Wang Mansion has always been known for its military strength, but the imperial court is in charge of the military. I heard that the Wu Jun Wang Mansion also has private soldiers."

"Such a big thing, the emperor doesn't know?"

"Perhaps he knows, but the situation is not too serious, and the emperor must not take it seriously."

Fu Ran nodded.

Yes, the emperor has reached this point and he can no longer care about so many things.

"The last Prince of Changle County was known for his generosity and kindness, and was quite popular in the local area."

"So, among the three princes, Prince Changle is most likely to be favored.

Shen Fengan shook his head.

"Not necessarily. The emperor summoned the three princes to the capital for testing, but he did not say for sure that the future crown prince would be chosen from among these three princes."

Or maybe this is a means of misleading people.

Fu Ran stayed with Shen Fengan at Chen Yuanhou's mansion for most of the day. After Yuchi Sui came back, they had dinner together as a family before returning home.

She had already told Wei Lin in advance that she would stay at Chen Yuanhou Mansion late before returning.

When they returned to the Duke's Mansion, they had already had dinner.

Fu Ran first went to Madam Wei’s Qingfuyuan, and then returned to Chaoguangyuan.

Wuyou saw her coming back and flew over to her.

Fu Ran held his daughter in his arms.

Some tears came out of Wuyou's eyes.

Her mother never takes her with her when she goes out to play.

Fu Ran looked at it with both amusement and soft-heartedness.

"Okay, next time I go out, I must take Wuyou with me, okay?"

Wuyou then smiled happily and rubbed his little head against her face.

When Wei Xuan came out of the house, he saw the mother and daughter rubbing against each other.

They rubbed against each other and laughed.

He walked forward and hugged both mother and daughter in his arms.

Fu Ran looked up at him, his eyes filled with smiles, his face gentle and peaceful. Wei Xuan concentrated, unable to look away for a long time.

"I didn't hear you mention going back to Chenyuan Marquis Mansion yesterday."

"I had an idea yesterday, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Today I went to a teahouse and had something delicious so I wanted to bring some for my mother. I even brought back two pots of flowers. It was worth it."

The flowers are in the yard.

Shen Fengan is very good at taking care of flowers, and the flowers bloom very beautifully.

"I'll go with you next time."

"Okay, I told my mom that I'll bring Wuyou along next time."

The couple coaxed Wuyou to sleep before preparing for a bath.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, the room was filled with a faint and pleasant scent of incense.

Fu Ran asked about what kind of person Prince Wei Xuanyan was.

"Wei Lin has already mentioned it during dinner. Don't worry, someone is watching their every move. The position of crown prince is not something you can just take if you want to, even if you have royal blood flowing in your veins."

"Then I'm relieved. In fact, the current emperor is not a bad person. Apart from being too indulgent to the eldest princess, he has no other problems. It's a pity that he won't live long. If he is replaced by someone more powerful and less caring towards the people, that would be a real disaster."

Today's peddler is indeed miserable.

She was afraid that all people would be like this in the future.

"Don't worry, Prince Yan will never have a chance." Wei Xuan said.

Now that the emperor trusts him, he lets Wei Xuan do everything. The decision he makes is the emperor's decision.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was indeed busier than usual, with many people coming to deliver letters. Fu Ran received many letters every day and had to sort them one by one.

I will only reply if there is someone I need to meet.

I will only come back if there is a banquet that I need to attend.

Otherwise, the post will be returned directly.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was at its peak, and many people wanted to curry favor with it.

The three princes had originally wanted to come to the Duke's Mansion, but were reminded by Wei Xuan that family and national affairs should not involve the inner residence.

No need to come if you have nothing to do.

The three princes were afraid of displeasing Wei Xuan, so they did not come to his house.

Fu Ran had never seen them.

The couple would usually have a short chat. Fu Ran would first talk about his family. Wei Xuan didn't like to talk about outside matters, so he would only talk when Fu Ran asked.

He wouldn't force her, he would tell her whatever she wanted to know.

Unless it is confidential and cannot be disclosed.

Fu Ran would not chase him.

"No matter where you meet the three princes in the future, don't be too lively."

"I understand." She didn't want to be enthusiastic towards them, as she might not meet them again in the future.

She doesn't go out every day.

"When will your shop open?"

"I originally thought that I would open the shop after the new emperor came to power and a new atmosphere was in place, but now I think that this time is too long. I plan to open the shop under someone else's name first, and it will no longer be called Sanheji."

She has her own considerations.

The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is now under the attention of others. The Emperor is not living a happy life now. If the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is too happy, it will not be good.

Some people are bound to be jealous.

"The restaurant will open next month under the name of Xiao Liuzi. After it is renovated, it will open under the name of Cheng Jiang and A Lin." Outsiders are not clear about the relationship between Xiao Liuzi, Cheng Jiang and A Lin and the Weiguo Mansion.

In the eyes of outsiders, it must be an asset of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. After such a big incident, it was transferred to someone else, which is reasonable.

As long as the taste is unique and there are activities from time to time, there will definitely be a lot of customers coming.

"Okay." Wei Xuan nodded. It was indeed not appropriate to be too ostentatious. "Once the big things are settled, you can do whatever you want in the future."

His tone was as if he was the one who called the shots.

Fu Ran laughed.

"If the person in the palace knew about this, I'm afraid they would blame you."

"What are you afraid of?" Wei Xuan didn't care.

"I have not done anything wrong to Dayue. How could Dayue do anything wrong to me? I'll let you do whatever you want. You are not a bad person and you can't do bad things. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Yes, you are right." Fu Ran admitted defeat. He had his own opinion. If they really argued, she might not be able to win against him.

This man, there's only one thing he doesn't want to do.

There may be nothing he cannot do.
