Marry a Duke

Chapter 116: Face

Mingyue was talking to the old lady about some interesting things that happened recently in the Shouwang Mansion. The old lady smiled and responded from time to time. After the Shouwang left, the atmosphere in the Shouwang Mansion was indeed not as good as before.

The mood is different.

Seeing Mingyue being as lively and lovely as she is now, it is truly the blessing of King Shou from heaven.

Yuan Xin listened from the side and occasionally interjected a few words.

Old Madam Wei was chatting with them, but Wei Xuan didn't say a word.

Yuan Xin and Ming Yue were both unmarried women, so there were still many things they had to avoid. Wei Xuan left after finishing his meal, leaving behind Madam Wei and cousin Ming Yue.

Yuan Xin looked at Wei Xuan's tall figure as he left, his eyes paused, but quickly shifted away.

Her behavior did not escape the eyes of Mrs. Wei.

Old Madam Wei didn't say anything, but quickly finished dinner and asked the sisters to rest early. The next morning, after breakfast, they would set off for the city.

Wei Nian played with Wuyou for a long time in Fu Ran's room. If Lan Yin hadn't urged her, Wei Nian would have been really tired, and the little girl didn't want to go back.

Lan Yin saw Wei Xuan return to his room, and then hurriedly took Wei Nian away.

The water had been delivered from the kitchen. Fu Ran and the nanny helped Xiao Wuyou wash and change his diaper before Fu Ran continued washing.

Although this is a separate courtyard and is far smaller than the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, it has everything it should have and is very complete.

Fu Ran also secretly sighed in his heart that the life of the rich is indeed unimaginable for the poor.

When Wei Xuan returned to his room, Fu Ran and the wet nurse were already in the side room helping Wuyou wash. He did not go in. After Wuyou was washed, he was carried out and placed on the crib, and Wei Xuan stayed by her side.

Fu Ran was washing slowly in the side room. He had gone out early this morning. Although he had been in the carriage the whole time, he had been to Hua'en Temple and the smell of incense was on his body. He also walked through the crowd and went to the kitchen. He was also very tired, so taking a hot bath could help him relieve his fatigue.

She didn't let Qiao'er serve her because she was not destined to be served by others. She liked to do everything by herself. She had her hands and feet, so why should she let others interfere?

After she finished washing and returned to the outer room, she saw Wei Xuan holding Wuyou's little hand. Under the light, there was a gentle and hazy scene.

Fu Ran paused slightly. She was really not used to Wei Xuan being so gentle.

He should be the one who kills decisively.

"Guo--, Xiuning, I'm done washing." She changed her words in time.

Wei Xuan raised his eyes indifferently and glanced at her casually.

She was wearing a white silk nightgown with her hair hanging down her back, giving off a hint of laziness.

He responded, let go of Wuyou's little hand, stood up, walked past her, and smelled a faint fragrance.

He frowned slightly and entered the bathroom, only to find that this was the smell coming from the dried flowers that had been prepared in the bathroom.

She threw some into the water, and after soaking in it for a long time, her body could be smelling of the faint floral scent.

After feeding the baby, the wet nurse went next door. Fu Ran asked Qiao'er to go downstairs with the wet nurse to rest and they didn't have to keep watch tonight.

Wei Xuan is in the room. If there is anything, just wake them up.

She was about to put Wuyou on the bed when Wei Xuan came out of the bathroom. He looked fresh and had a faint scent on him, similar to hers.

Their pajamas were the same color and texture.

Fu Ran went to the inside of the bed first, but he didn't rush to lie down, nor did he put Wuyou down. He kept holding the child in his arms.

Wei Xuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with his dark eyes.

"Why don't you sleep?" he asked.

Fu Ran glanced at Wuyou, then looked at him again.

"What do you think of Miss Yuan?" she asked.

He didn't finish the soup that Miss Yuan sent him today. Is it because he is a straight man and didn't see Miss Yuan's kindness?

That's not very likely. The Duke of Weiguo, as others talk about him, is full of schemes and has a sharp eye. Even she could see through Yuan Xin's little thoughts, so there's no way he couldn't see it.

Unless he saw it but pretended not to see it.

He raised his eyes, staring at her steadily with his dark eyes, without saying a word.

Fu Ran waited for a while but there was no answer from him. Her forehead twitched. Why did a grown man have to be so fussy? But she didn't dare to say that in front of Wei Xuan.

If his dark side is aroused, I will be the one in trouble.

"Miss Yuan is such a rare good girl. Not only is she full of talent, she is also good at cooking. She is really proficient in everything. She is indeed a daughter raised in a big family. She is really different." She praised Yuan Xin.

Wei Xuan frowned.

"What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything." Seeing that he looked unhappy, Fu Ran decided not to ask any more questions. "Let's go to sleep."

She carefully put Wuyou down, quickly lay down, and pulled the quilt over him.

When he closes his eyes, he looks like he's fallen asleep.

Wei Xuan looked at her series of actions speechlessly. Did she think that if she did it quickly, she would really fall asleep?

Wei Xuan lay down slowly. Because Wuyou was beside him, he was worried about waking Wuyou up.

"I heard that you made a wish to Yue Lao today." He did not mention Yuan Xin, but mentioned the wish she made in Hua'en Temple.

Fu Ran was stunned at first, then she remembered that she had indeed made a wish in Hua'en Temple.

She made the wish with the mentality that since she was already here, why not make a wish.

"Qian Wu told you everything?" Her eyes moved.

"He said something that he was confused about."

Fu Ran opened his eyes and looked at him: "What is there for him to be confused about? Has he never made a wish in front of Yue Lao? Yes, if he had made a wish, he might have a wife and children now."

Wei Xuan was silent for a while.

"You went to Hua'en Temple with me to fulfill your vow, but you made a wish to find another true love in front of Yue Lao. Why? In your heart, I don't exist?"

Fu Ran awkwardly tried to diffuse the situation with laughter.

"It's just a coincidence, it's not real. I'm married and have children. True love only appears in storybooks. It's hard to find in real life."

She is also very realistic and doesn't have a pure love mind.

"You prayed to Yue Lao and made a wish in front of the Buddha, and then you found out that Miss Yuan seemed to be interested in me, so you were suddenly happy and even tested my feelings for Miss Yuan intentionally or unintentionally? Fu Ran, you made no secret of your purpose." He exposed her mercilessly.

Fu Ran wasn't angry either, she didn't try to hide it very deeply.

"I'm just curious. You are the Duke of Weiguo. It's impossible for you to have only one wife, right? Even if you have a bunch of concubines in the backyard, or even mistresses, it's reasonable. There are not many families in the capital that have only one wife in the backyard."

Some families still compete on the number of concubines they have. The more concubines they have, the more face they have.

If you can't compete in quantity, then compete in quality. Which lord's concubine is which family's most beautiful lady, this is a matter of adding glory to one's reputation.

Wei Xuan does not value love between men and women.

"I think Miss Yuan is really interested in you. She is good in every way. It would be great to take her out, right?"
