Marry a Duke

Chapter 142 He Decided

Wei Xuan and Fu Ran carried their daughter to Qingfuyuan. Yuan Xin, Wei Lin and Princess Mingyue were already there, but Lan Yin and Wei Nian had not arrived yet.

Lan Yin had sent someone to inform her that Wei Nian slept late last night, so she was not woken up this morning and had breakfast in Qingyin Courtyard.

Old Madam Wei has always loved Wei Nian, so she would never make Wei Nian get up early just for breakfast. The child is still young and needs to grow, so it is good for her to get more sleep.

Besides, she also knew that Lan Yin was not the kind of person who liked to join in the fun. There were so many people here, and she wouldn't be able to adapt if she came, so she didn't force her.

"Everyone is here, let's serve the breakfast." Nanny Li asked the maid to serve the breakfast.

The others took their seats one by one.

Mingyue didn't sleep well last night because of something. There was a dark spot under her eyes and a hint of tiredness on her face.

However, her eyes were still bright. Today, she wanted to meet the two people she had chosen. If one of them suited her, the marriage would be arranged immediately.

Yuan Xin was talking to Old Madam Wei, and her eyes glanced at Wei Xuan intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Xuan was teasing his daughter all the time.

He also loved Wei Nian because Wei Nian was the child of the Wei family, the posthumous child of his brother, and the only drop of his brother's blood left in this world. Therefore, he cherished her and must protect his brother's only daughter.

Wei Nian had always been taken care of by his eldest sister-in-law and the maids. He did not see him all the time. On the battlefield, it was common for him not to see him for several months or even a whole year.

Now Wuyou is in his arms. He watched her being born and growing up little by little. From such a tiny little ball of flesh, she has become more and more lovable, which makes his heart soften more and more.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to have your own flesh and blood.

It was the first time for him to become a father, and it was also the first time he felt the pride and preciousness of being a father.

Wei Lin looked at Wei Xuan's different appearance and glanced at Fu Ran with some dissatisfaction.

What kind of person is the second brother? He is upright and extraordinary. How can he be down to earth and hold a child with a kind face? This is not Wei Xuan at all.

“Second brother, you should hand Wuyou over to the wet nurse. It’s time for dinner. No matter how adorable Wuyou is, you don’t have to hold him in your arms all the time.” Wei Lin said, with a sour tone in her voice.

Wei Xuan raised his head and glanced at her calmly.

He didn't say anything to her and let the nanny take Wuyou to play aside.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Xin immediately wanted to prepare the meal for him personally.

Fu Ran was sitting next to him. Sitting in the first seat was old lady Wei. He was on the old lady's left. Yuan Xin was on the old lady's right. On the other side of Yuan Xin was Wei Lin, and on the other side of Wei Lin was Ming Yue.

To Wei Xuan's right was Fu Ran, and to Fu Ran's right was originally Lan Yin, but Lan Yin did not come, so two positions were left vacant.

Fu Ran didn't know that Lan Yin was not coming, otherwise, she would have moved to the side.

The breakfast on the table was very rich. Madam Wei usually ate light food, but today there were guests in the mansion, so there was a wide variety of food for all tastes.

Fu Ran picked two and ate in silence.

"Mom, I have already sent someone to deliver the invitations to the two young masters of the Ding and Mu families that Mingyue wants to meet today. They will arrive later and Fu Ran will entertain them." Wei Xuan said.

Old Madam Wei looked up in surprise and glanced at her son.

Mingyue mentioned yesterday that she would invite Master Ding and the young general of the Mu family to come to the house today to see which one of them would be suitable to be the princess's future husband. She had already asked someone to make preparations.

I didn't expect that my son wanted Fu Ran to entertain the guests.

It seems that his son has made up his mind to let Fu Ran be in charge of the inner house in the future.

Whatever——

The wife of Duke Weiguo will eventually be the head of the household. She can support the family for a while, but she cannot hold the power for her whole life.

Madam Wei nodded and said, "That's great. However, Fu Ran has never done these things before. Let Madam Li guide you. If you don't understand anything, just ask her."

Fu Ran, who was pushed onto the stage, had no choice but to agree.

"Yes, old lady."

I have to thank Aunt Li again later.

Since Nanny Li can do it, why bother asking her to do it?

Fu Ran had a lot of questions but didn't know how to ask them. However, Wei Lin was the first to object when she heard Wei Xuan say that.

"Second brother, how can you entrust such an important matter to her? She knows nothing and can do nothing. This is a matter that concerns Princess Mingyue's life. If there is any mistake, our Wei family will become sinners." Wei Lin couldn't understand what his second brother was thinking.

But she just wanted to stop it.

"Mom, Fu Ran has no experience at all. You should do this, or I can--"

As soon as she said this, Fu Ran laughed.

See it.

She said that Wei Lin would definitely be able to do it.

But she didn't laugh out loud, there was just a hint of smile in her eyes. She was not stupid. If she laughed at this time, wouldn't that be a slap on the face of the old lady, Wei Xuan and Wei Lin?

She didn't want to make enemies everywhere, as it would not benefit her.

She buried her head and ate hard, as if Wei Lin was not talking about her just now.

Wei Xuan saw the smile in her eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Wei Lin, you are already a married woman. You don't need to be in charge of your natal family affairs. If you want to be in charge of the family, go find Shen Yan."

"Second brother..." Wei Lin was dissatisfied. "What on earth did she trick you into thinking that you are still on her side?"

"Linlin..." Yuan Xin called out softly, "Just listen to Second Brother Wei. Don't be angry. Second Brother Wei is doing this for your own good."

Wei Lin glared at her. How could this be considered as doing it for her own good? She was even said to be a married woman. What? Would she no longer be surnamed Wei after she got married?

Doesn't she have a place in the Wei family?

"You are stupid. My second brother is letting Fu Ran entertain guests now. He will be in charge of the inner house one day. She is the legal wife and in charge of the inner house. Even if you marry into the Wei family in the future, what good will you get?"

"Wei Lin." Madam Wei said in a low voice. It was too much to say this in front of so many people. "Do you really dare to say anything?"

"Mom, I'm not wrong."

Mingyue's brows furrowed as she listened, thinking that the situation had indeed become like this because of her. "There's no need to trouble you. Please ask Young Master Ding to meet General Mu outside. It would be inappropriate to go into the Duke of Wei's mansion."

"Mingyue, don't worry about it. Someone has already sent the notice and they will be here soon. I will stay in the mansion today to meet them. You can ask directly what you want to see or what you want to ask." Wei Xuan said.

Mingyue nodded.

"If Brother Xuan is there to check, maybe it will be better."

She looked at her cousin again. Why did Wei Lin feel that she was about to enter the mansion? But her wife was right in front of her, and Brother Xuan had not expressed his opinion.

"Just like Brother Xuan said, let Sister Fu Ran entertain them."

Fu Ran had no choice but to agree.

"Princess Mingyue, rest assured. I will do my best to make this happen."
