Marry a Duke

Chapter 317: Terrible Rumors

Shen Yan is not always available to meet people. He is an official appointed by the court and needs to perform his duties. He is only free in the morning and evening, and on weekends. He cannot take leave often.

So, he would come quickly in the morning and bring some delicious food to Wei Lin.

But I couldn't even see Wei Lin.

Sometimes when he had time, he would come out, but most of the time, Wei Lin would not see him.

Now that the shop is open, Wei Lin enjoys doing business very much and goes to the shop every day.

She also doesn't care about people saying she's showing off.

What's wrong with being in the spotlight?

Who is being bothered?

She is willing to do so.

Anyway, she has already been married once and has no plans to marry a second time. She doesn't care that much about her reputation. More importantly, she is the younger sister of the Duke of Fuguo.

Who dares to say anything bad about her? Wei Lin is not a person with a good temper.

Once he gets angry, he won't care about anything.

"Sister-in-law, you can go with us." Wei Lin called Qingyin.

Now that Wei Nian is older and has her own life, she plays with Wuyou and is very safe at home with maids and nannies accompanying her.

Qingyin can't spend her whole life with Nian'er.

"Yes, sister-in-law, let's go out for a walk together. Don't bring Wuyou and Nian'er today. Let them play in the house and we will go by ourselves." Fu Ran also advised.

Qingyin still has a long life ahead of her.

How lonely it would be if I just kept Nian'er in my mind for my whole life.

Life can be diverse.

You can experience a different life.

The two of them asked her to go together, and usually at this time, Qingyin couldn't refuse.

She is not very good at rejecting others.

"Then I'll talk to Nian'er."

"Don't say it. If you tell them, they will definitely follow you." Wei Lin said.

Nian'er and Wuyou both want to run away.

But they are too young to play outside all day.

"Just let the nanny tell them later." Fu Ran said.

Qingyin thought so too, and the three of them left the house together.

All three shops were opened and business was booming. In the beginning, Fu Ran was the one who planned the business, but later Wei Lin took charge and managed the shops perfectly inside and out.

There is always a constant stream of customers.

This Jiangnan-style shop is now quite famous in Beijing. If you go there during peak dining hours, you have to make a reservation in advance.

Wei Lin felt very happy when he saw the money rolling in.

It turns out that there are so many things women can do besides housework.

Compared to that, things in the harem are so boring.

At noon, Shen Yan arrived.

Took his colleagues to have lunch.

Of course, he chose this place on purpose just to run into Wei Lin.

"Cousin, you're here."

Fu Ran was still quite enthusiastic.

They are our own family, they come to support us every day and they pay, so there is no reason to push them away.

"Cousin--." Shen Yan glanced at Wei Lin who was not far away. Wei Lin just rolled her eyes and didn't even look at him. Shen Yan sighed.

Both he and she made mistakes.

When they separated, both parties felt that it was time to separate.

But now, the temperaments of both of them have changed.

Wei Lin is no longer the arrogant and unreasonable Wei Lin.

"Is there an empty table? There are three of us, my colleague and I."

"Also, follow me." Fu Ran led them over personally.

Several people were also polite.

They all knew that the person in front of them was the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, and it was an unparalleled honor to have the wife of the Duke of Fuguo personally lead them to their seats.

So, when they heard that Lord Shen was coming to Sanheji for dinner, they followed him.

Sanheji’s Jiangnan flavor is already very famous in Beijing.

First of all, it has authentic Jiangnan flavor. The chef is specially invited from Jiangnan, with excellent skills and the best ingredients.

Secondly, this is a shop opened by the wife of the Duke of Fuguo and her sister. You can often see them in the shop, which is something that cannot be achieved even with money.

The wife and sister of the Duke of Fuguo were women who lived in the harem. The Duke of Fuguo was indeed a man who did not care about details and was willing to let the women in his family come out and open a shop in public.

It is precisely because of this move by the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion that the ladies who now open shops and do business can do so more openly.

All people are comparable.

The Duke of Fuguo is willing to let his wife and sister go out to do business, so why are other families still restrained? Are they more powerful than the Duke of Fuguo?

If not, we shouldn't force people to stay.

The hall was already full, and the private rooms on the second floor were also full. There were only one or two empty tables at the back. They were not big tables, but small tables that could only seat four people.

There was just enough room for the three of them to sit.

Shen Yan ordered several signature dishes of the restaurant. Fu Ran asked the waiter to place the order and delivered a signature dish and a drink, but no wine. After all, they still had to work in the afternoon.

You can't drink alcohol.

Shen Yan was obviously a little absent-minded.

Seeing Fu Ran was about to leave, he also stood up and followed him to the side to ask, "How is Wei Lin feeling today?"

"It's fine." Fu Ran said, "But knowing you're here might not be a good thing. Cousin, you can't blame her for this. You married someone else, but she didn't. So, she lost out."

If the two of them reconciled, he would obviously have one more marriage than Wei Lin.

Of course Wei Lin disliked him.

Shen Yan's face turned pale.

this--

He can no longer change.

He couldn't just watch Wei Lin get married again.

"Cousin, please help your cousin and find out if Wei Lin can make amends. I am willing to do anything. Mother also wants her to come back."

Shen Yan said.

Fu Ran looked at him and said, "Cousin, there are rumors outside now. I wonder if you have heard of them."

Shen Yan frowned.

"What rumors?"

"It's no secret that you've been chasing after Wei Lin. Many people know about it now, and some are talking about it after dinner. They all say that you're chasing after Wei Lin again just to gain power in the Fuguo Mansion."

"After all, the identity of the brother-in-law of the Duke of Fuguo is still very prestigious in the Dayue Dynasty."

Not only is it loud, it's also very useful.

Shen Yan looked confused. Obviously, he had not heard of such rumors.

"Did anyone really say that?"

Fu Ran nodded.

really have.

People who dine in the restaurant have said so.

"Then what does Wei Lin think? I didn't - cousin, you know that my cousin is not that kind of person." Shen Yan explained anxiously.

Fu Ran nodded with a sincere look in his eyes.

"Cousin, of course I believe you. But even though Wei Lin doesn't say it, she must be feeling uncomfortable. Maybe she also thinks what those people say makes sense."

Shen Yan gritted his teeth, wishing he could shut the mouths of those nosy people.

"Where's Wei Lin?" He looked around but didn't see Wei Lin.

"Maybe in the backyard." Fu Ran shrugged.

"I'll go and talk to her clearly." Shen Yan had no appetite at all. If he didn't explain things clearly, he would have trouble swallowing his food.

Fu Ran didn't stop him, but still reminded him.

"Talk nicely, don't make Wei Lin angry."
