Marry a Duke

Chapter 89 Daughter

There was no way the Emperor would help him. He didn't directly take away the title of the Duke of England out of consideration for the former Duke of England.

No matter how dissatisfied the emperor was with his elder sister's actions, it was his elder sister who had made many plans for him before he ascended the throne. If it hadn't been for his elder sister who had been planning for him behind the scenes, he might not have been able to ascend the throne as he wished.

In recent years, the eldest sister, as the ***, has acted more and more recklessly and secretly trained a lot of people, but he has turned a blind eye to it.

As long as the national capital is not touched, he will condone the actions of the ***.

The reason why Wei Xuan dealt with her before was simply because the emperor's hand had stretched too far, which was enough to cause a little turmoil in the court.

This time is different, this is their family matter.

The emperor would definitely let the queen make all the decisions on household affairs, and he would not show up.

Duke Yingguo walked out of the imperial study with a deathly pale face, and Wei Xuan came out soon after.

The two left the palace together.

The two walked in silence for a long distance.

The British general tried every possible method, but it was all in vain.

If the emperor doesn't help him, who else can help him?

His eyes fell on Wei Xuan who was standing aside. Wei Xuan had an upright posture and was dressed in an official uniform. When he walked, he looked like an immortal, but his temperament was cold and too aloof.

"Duke Weiguo, you and *** are always at odds with each other, so this time, why don't we make a deal?" The Duke of Yingguo was going to place his last hope on Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan didn't seem very interested.

He raised his eyes calmly without stopping.

"Oh, why did the Duke of England suddenly want to make a deal with me? Wei Xuan has never had any problems with ***. I'm just afraid that the Duke of England has some misunderstanding."

Wei Xuan was able to lift a heavy object with just 10 ounces of force.

"Wei Xuan, let's not beat around the bush. I'm desperate to rescue my two sons. If it's too late, they will most likely die at the hands of the ***. Over the years, I've been the closest person to the ***, and I know exactly what the *** is doing outside."

"The Queen wants to clean up your connections. She doesn't want you to become too powerful in the court and overshadow the emperor. She doesn't want the most important person in front of the emperor to be someone other than her. As long as you are valued by the emperor, you will be a thorn in the Queen's side and she will get rid of you as soon as possible."

The Duke of England has completely torn his relations with the *** for the sake of his bloodline.

Now the situation can no longer be concealed, and there is no way he and *** can return to the way they were before. Even so, he must leave a bloodline for the Duke of England.

"***——, it really is a misunderstanding." Wei Xuan curled his lips but did not smile at all.

"However, I can help you find out the whereabouts of your child."

Upon hearing this, the Duke of England felt relieved.

Even so, it is enough. As long as Wei Xuan opens his mouth, there will definitely be a way. No one knows how many connections he has.

Even the Communist Party has not really figured out how many people he has cultivated and how many people are available for him to use.

Because of this, *** repeatedly regarded Wei Xuan as his number one rival, and spared no effort to infiltrate the Wei family, vowing to find something to hold against him and weaken his role in front of the emperor.

The two men left the palace, each got on a carriage, and returned to their own homes.

Fu Ran was playing cat's tether with Wei Nian in the yard.

Lan Yin is a quiet person, but she would also come to Chaoguangyuan to accompany her daughter. She was not good at playing these games, so she just watched Wei Nian play from the side.

She also chose the right time and came here during the time when Wei Xuan was not at home.

On weekdays, when Wei Xuan was in the mansion, she would never appear in Chaoguangyuan, and would not even let Wei Nian come.

Although Wei Nian is young, she has a quick mind. After being taught twice, she learned it and now she is having a lot of fun playing with Fu Ran.

"I won, I won." After completing it once, Wei Nian shouted happily.

Lan Yin immediately handed the water over to Wei Nian and asked him to take a sip. "Okay, we've played for a while. Let your aunt take a break. You, Yu Di and Qiao Er can play for a while first."

"No, my aunt is still the best and the most fun." Wei Nian stuck to Fu Ran.

Fu Ran didn't care.

She wasn't that tired.

She sat in the armchair and didn't move much, but Wei Nian had been standing in front of her, and her legs felt a little tired.

"Nian'er, auntie needs to rest for a while. Let's have a cup of tea and some snacks before playing, okay?" Fu Ran pointed to the new snacks on the table.

These are the butterfly cakes that were just made in the kitchen. They smell so good just by smelling them.

She wanted to eat, but she didn't dare to eat too much.

"Okay." Wei Nian still listened to her, sat down and started eating snacks.

Fu Ran only ate half a piece and drank a cup of tea.

Lan Yin saw that she looked a bit tired and felt a little embarrassed. If it weren't for Nian'er who insisted on coming to play with Fu Ran from time to time.

She could rest more.

"Nian'er, let's go back first. Come and play with auntie tomorrow. Look, auntie is tired."

Wei Nian looked over. She was a child and couldn’t tell whether the adults were tired or not.

"Aunt, are you tired?" she asked directly.

"No, Madam, I'm not tired. Nian'er is here to play with me. Time flies. I'm not bored either."

Lan Yin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she was sincere.

"Don't call me Madam anymore. Just call me Sister-in-law or just my name." Lan Yin said.

Fu Ran had always called her Madam, but she had forgotten that in the mansion, her own status was the most honorable, as she was the wife of the Duke.

Madam Lan Yin is just a dependent.

Fu Ran suffered some hardships when he entered the mansion before, and now he is probably being scolded because of his original identity.

But her situation has changed.

"Sister-in-law." Fu Ran didn't want to call her by her name. If Wei Xuan or Old Madam Wei heard it, they would accuse her of being disrespectful to elders and not even calling her sister-in-law.

Lan Yin listened and smiled slightly.

"See, you like children too. If the first baby in your belly is a boy, Nian'er can play with his brother in the future."

Lan Yin knew how the baby in Fu Ran's belly came about. Up to now, Fu Ran and Wei Xuan still slept in separate rooms. Perhaps, they would never sleep in the same room again in this life.

Having a second child is difficult.

The first one is a boy, the eldest son of the Duke of Weiguo, and can naturally be appointed as the crown prince.

For Fu Ran, it is also a solid guarantee.

But Fu Ran shook his head.

"No, I hope that it's a girl in my belly." She likes soft and cute girl babies, like Wei Nian, who is very soft and cute.

"If it's a younger sister, it would be better to play with Nian'er."

If it is a son, although he has the title of the eldest son, his origin is not very glorious after all. His parents are not willing to have him, and he has to bear the burden of the Weiguo Mansion as soon as he is born.

If he is appointed as the Crown Prince, he will have to bear the honor and disgrace of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion for the rest of his life.

If he could not be named the crown prince, his life would be even more miserable.
