Marry a Duke

Chapter 38 Leave the mother and leave the son

Wei Xuan didn't return until the evening.

When I returned to Chaoguangyuan to change clothes, I saw that the tonic soup on the table had already gone cold.

The servant reported back that it was sent by the madam.

"Madam?" Wei Xuan frowned.

The servant immediately lowered his head, thinking that his master was unhappy.

"Master, it's the wife of Xingyuan. She said that the Duke is busy handling government affairs every day and is too tired. He needs to have some rest."

The servant reported back word for word what Fu Ran had said when he brought the soup.

"I will take the tonic soup away immediately."

As he spoke, the servant came forward and took the soup away.

The soup was already cold and couldn't be drunk in the first place.

Moreover, Nanny Li even brought people over to test the poison, and the servant didn't know whether he should tell it or not.

"Ningzi, next time she brings you soup, just ask her to take it back and don't put it on my desk." Bi'an reminded kindly.

Ningzi is not very old, only fifteen years old this year.

Ningzi hesitantly talked about what Nanny Li and her people had done today.

Now it seems that even the old lady is not confident about the things sent by the lady.

Otherwise, Nanny Li wouldn't have to bring people here in person.

He thanked Bi'an.

"I know what to do next time. I'll take this bowl of soup and pour it out."

Ningzi took the cold soup and found a place to pour it.

I was muttering in my heart that the lady was just looking for trouble.

Wei Xuan said nothing, just looked at Bi'an indifferently.

Bi'an's scalp tingled as he was stared at, so he touched his nose.

"Master, what I said is correct. Who knows what she is up to? She is using her family to force her. She has already started to collude with someone outside. That person is from the government."

Bi'an felt that he did not lock up Fu Ran because of the baby in her womb.

She even dared to bribe the servants of the Duke's Mansion privately to deliver letters to the guards of the *** Mansion.

Does she have a brain?

Do you think the Duke's Mansion won't be able to discover this trick?

Fortunately, Qiya’s father was loyal enough and presented the letter first.

After reading the letter, Wei Xuan asked Qi Ya's father to follow Fu Ran's instructions and continue to deliver the letter to Cheng Jiang, the guard of the *** Mansion.

"What can she do? She's just trying to save her family."

Wei Xuan has already changed into his regular clothes.

A long robe with dark green patterns made his figure look even more upright.

"Maybe there is some secret message in it." Bi'an didn't believe it was that simple.

Wei Xuan looked at Bi'an like a fool.

"If she has this ability, she still needs to find Qiya's father and pass the message to the guards of the *** Mansion."

Bi'an's expression froze.

Also.

If she was really capable, she would have known where her family was imprisoned long ago.

"I was overthinking, please forgive me, Master."

"Just back off."

Wei Xuan waved his sleeves and left, going to Qingfuyuan to have dinner with Old Madam Wei.

Qi Ya hurried back to the apricot garden carrying a plate of melon seeds.

The melon seeds had been half scattered because of her running.

"Fu Ran, Fu Ran, I saw the Duke come back." Qi Ya saw the Duke return home and enter Chaoguang Courtyard from afar.

She originally wanted to pretend to walk over unintentionally to see if the Duke would drink the soup that Fu Ran brought over.

But she didn't dare.

If the Duke finds out, he will kick her out of the Mansion.

She peeked for a while from a distance.

After a while, Xiao Ningzi from Chaoguangyuan came, holding the can of tonic soup that Furan sent in the afternoon.

Then, she watched Xiao Ningzi feed the whole can of soup to the small trees in the garden.

It can be repaired.

"Tell me, does the Duke not like to drink soup?" Qi Ya asked blankly.

Fu Ran's heart tightened.

It's not that he doesn't like soup, it's just that he doesn't like the soup she gave him.

However, she didn't worry about it.

"It's okay. It's been so long, the soup has already gone cold. How can you drink it? It's normal for the Duke to pour it out. He is such a precious person, asking him to drink cold soup is too unfair to him."

Anyway, she tried.

The servants in the mansion have been reshuffled recently. It seems that a lot of old faces are gone, and some new ones have been recruited.

But Fu Ran always believed that there must be ***'s spies among both the new and old employees.

"Next time when he is at home, bring him a cup of hot soup."

Qiya nodded.

I think what Fu Ran said makes a lot of sense.

Qingfuyuan

Old Madam Wei and Wei Xuan had dinner together.

Originally, I wanted to call Lan Yin and Wei Nian over together.

But given Lan Yin's personality, she might feel very restrained and even have trouble eating, so Madam Wei gave up the idea.

During the day, someone brought Wei Nian to live with her.

But we can’t raise the eldest son’s only flesh and blood like his mother.

The mother and son finished their meal and made tea.

The two talked about some things that happened in the court.

Wei Xuan has already captured Deng Yuan, and the evidence is solid and there is no way to deny it.

Just before Deng Yuan was about to plead guilty, he committed suicide.

"You have cut off ***'s financial resources. *** and the Duke of England will definitely not show mercy to you." Old Madam Wei was still a little worried.

Deng Yuan had been in charge of part of Dayue State's salt business. He had made a lot of money for the *** by using his status to buy and sell private salt.

"I'm afraid the Duke of England is unaware of this matter." Wei Xuan said.

"Humph, they are husband and wife. Even if *** despises Duke Ying, Duke Ying cannot be unaware of the situation. You think he is stupid, but he is pretending to be ignorant."

But Mrs. Wei didn't think so.

The Duke of England endured humiliation and hardship for many years beside ***.

He has always been gentle to *** and Princess Ruhui, but in front of ***, he no longer has any dignity as a man.

Wei Xuan did not argue the matter with his mother.

He knew very well what kind of person the Duke of England was.

*** thought she had control over people's hearts, but she didn't know that even the person closest to her couldn't really control others.

After the mother and son finished discussing the important matters, Mrs. Wei talked about Fu Ran.

Recently, the kitchen has been sending supplements to the apricot garden in a steady stream.

I just hope she gets better.

"When the child grows up, the mother suffers. If the mother is over-nourished, the fetus will be too big and it will be difficult to deliver the baby," said Wei Xuan.

But Madam Wei didn't care.

After all, she just doesn't care about Fu Ran as a person.

"It's fine if the fetus is large. Once Fu Ran is unable to deliver the baby, let the doctor deliver it by cesarean section."

"The risk is too great. There has never been a successful cesarean section in Dayuechao, and the mother has been saved."

Of course Madam Wei knew.

"But in our Dayue Dynasty, there are precedents of fetuses being able to survive healthily after being delivered by cesarean section."

How could Wei Xuan not hear what Madam Wei was planning?

She is going to leave the mother and son behind.

Once Fu Ran gives birth to a child, she will no longer be of any use.

Died in childbirth——

It's a perfectly normal way to die.

Just like the previous wife of Duke Weiguo, who died of childbirth complications.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Madam Wei softened her tone.

"Xuan'er, you are still young. Your destiny will appear by your side sooner or later. Fu Ran is obviously not one of them."

"Son understands." Wei Xuan said no more, "It's getting late, mother should go to bed early."
