Marry a Duke

Chapter 51: Suppression everywhere

We returned safely to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

The monks who had escorted them all the way returned the same way.

Wei Xuan took away the bodies of the two assassins. After returning home, Fu Ran never saw her again.

It was dark long ago.

After a day of tossing and turning and experiencing life and death, Fu Ran finally needs to take a break.

After a good night's sleep, Lan Yin brought Wei Nian over early the next morning.

Lan Yin was extremely frightened by what happened yesterday, but fortunately, Wei Nian was fine.

Lan Yin also brought several gifts, including a jade bracelet, clear pearl earrings and a gold hairpin.

Everything is exquisite.

She came to thank Fu Ran for calling out. If she hadn't stood in front of him and called out, giving Wei Xuan time to prepare, Wei Nian would have been injured.

She could no longer bear the slightest harm to her loved ones.

"Madam, these things are very precious. I cannot accept them. Yesterday I just did a little favor. You really don't have to keep it in mind. We are all family, so there is no need to be so formal."

Fu Ran pushed the gift box back.

Lan Yin insisted, "If you don't accept it, I will be uneasy. Fu Ran, I am a widow. It is not appropriate for me to wear gold and silver when I go out. Everything should be plain. Even if these things stay with me, they will be useless."

"You can keep these things for her and give them to her as a dowry when she grows up."

"She has no worries about her dowry, and she doesn't lack these things."

Fu Ran thought so too. Wei Nian is the eldest granddaughter of the Wei family. When she gets married in the future, the dowry prepared by the Wei family will definitely be very considerable.

She couldn't bear to see Lan Yin disappointed, so she accepted it.

"In fact, given my situation, it is not appropriate for me to wear these, but since it is a kind gesture from the Madam, I will accept it."

After lunch, Lan Yin brought Wei Nian to Xingyuan to play.

Wei Nian was getting closer and closer to Fu Ran.

Lan Yin even felt that she and Fu Ran were in the same boat to some extent. She had lost her husband, and although Fu Ran had a husband, it was impossible for her and her husband to be of the same mind again in their lifetime.

Even Fu Ran's situation was worse than hers.

Lan Yin felt full of sympathy. Now that Wei Nian liked Fu Ran, she thought it would be good to have a companion in the mansion.

Old Madam Wei heard that Lan Yin and Fu Ran have been getting close recently.

She was very dissatisfied.

"Lan Yin brought Nian'er and Fu Ran closer. What is she thinking?"

Old Madam Wei suspected that Fu Ran was trying to seduce Wei Nian.

Wei Nian is her only granddaughter now.

It is the only bloodline of the eldest son.

Madam Wei takes good care of her. Lan Yin has a gentle personality, so let her be. However, we cannot let Wei Nian and Fu Ran get close to each other without knowing the reason.

No matter how well Fu Ran does, Madam Wei will never acknowledge her as her second daughter-in-law.

She is not worthy of Wei Xuan.

You'll never be able to match it.

"Mom, Fu Ran is alone and helpless in the mansion. She can't come to Qingfuyuan often, so she can only ask for help from my sister-in-law." Wei Lin returned to the mansion to accompany Old Madam Wei.

She was also quite frightened during this trip.

The Wei family is supported by the second brother. If anything happens to the second brother, the Wei family will be finished.

She wanted to stay home to comfort her mother.

"Lin'er, go and warn Lan Yin, tell her not to be fooled by others."

"Mom, don't worry. I will talk to my sister-in-law in a proper way."

Wei Lin said a lot of things in front of Lan Yin, and not a single word was good about Fu Ran.

He even threatened Lan Yin to obey him. If she continued like this, it would affect Nian'er's future.

Lan Yin didn't dare to joke about her daughter's future.

In this life, her only hope is Wei Nian.

*

Lan Yin and Wei Nian had not appeared for several days, and Fu Ran had a vague idea in his heart.

Wei Nian is a simple and lovely girl, and very smart.

She didn't lie about her love for him at all.

Now she suddenly stops coming, something must have happened.

“Fu Ran, I’ll go to the eldest lady’s yard and ask.”

"No, if you go, it will only embarrass the Madam."

Fu Ran sighed. He had finally made friends with Lan Yin and now he had someone he could talk to. But now, his happiness had only lasted for two days.

"No need to go. The Madam has her own reasons for not coming. If we go, it will make things difficult for her."

"But--" Qiya also likes Miss Nian'er very much. Now that she is not coming, Xingyuan will be boring.

"Okay, Qiya, stop causing trouble for the Madam. The Madam said she won't go, so let her not go." Yu Di thought about the gossip in the mansion and knew that the eldest Madam would definitely not be able to withstand it.

The Third Miss is still in the mansion recently, but we can't let her catch us, or she will embarrass the Madam.

Wei Lin came uninvited.

Wei Xuan has not shown up these days and has been dealing with matters outside.

He was very busy, so naturally he had no time to take care of household matters.

He must have no feelings for Fu Ran.

"Miss Third, Madam is resting. Please wait for a moment and allow me to go and invite Madam." Yudi said as she walked, unable to stop Wei Lin.

Wei Lin didn't even look at the raindrops.

"I'm here, and I need to ask her. I have something to talk to her about." She strode into Fu Ran's room.

Fu Ran was taking a nap. As the pregnancy progressed, she gradually became sleepy.

My mental state is not very good. If I don’t get enough sleep, I will feel tired all day.

When Wei Lin came in, she still woke her up.

She asked for the bed slowly, and Wei Lin's attitude towards her had already made it clear that no matter how polite she was, Wei Lin would not be polite to her.

In this case, there is no need to just go through the motions.

"Miss San suddenly barged in, but what's the big deal?"

"My second brother has been busy everywhere recently and has been entangled with many things. Tell me, is he secretly informing ***?" Wei Lin stepped forward and pulled Fu Ran down directly.

"You are a spy sent by the *** Mansion. You must have reported all the matters of the Weiguo Mansion to ***. That's why my second brother is so busy that he hasn't been home for several days."

Her younger sister returned home and stayed there for three days, without even seeing her second brother.

*** first sent people to Huguo Temple to assassinate his second brother.

Later, he threw dirty water on the matters handled by his second brother, placed people in charge, and opposed his second brother everywhere.

Fu Ran looked puzzled, she was married into a wealthy family.

But she could report anything back to the government office.

"Miss Third, what are you talking about? I have been in Xingyuan all day and have never stepped out of it. I know nothing about what is going on in the mansion. How can I send a message to the mansion?"

Wei Lin didn't believe it.

"Don't think I don't know. You asked Qi Ya's father to communicate with the guards of the *** Mansion, and he must have passed the news from the mansion. Now, Qi Ya's father is in my hands. If you don't tell the truth, let him come out and identify you."

When Qi Ya heard that her father had been arrested, she almost jumped up.

If the raindrops hadn't pulled her back, she would have rushed in.

Fu Ran's face turned pale.

She did find Qi Ya's father and send letters to Cheng Jiang, and she did send several letters.

She knew very well that if Qi Ya's father was dragged out, he would definitely confess without being tortured.
