Marry a Duke

Chapter 8 Everyone has their own agenda

After returning to the *** Mansion, she never saw the *** and the princess again, and Nanny Qiu asked her to go back first.

She returned to her residence with injuries all over her body. Qiu Ge was terrified when he saw her miserable appearance.

Qiu Ge helped her ask Cheng Jiang for medicine. After applying the medicine, Fu Ran couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

The next morning, I slept until I woke up naturally.

Qiu Ge was no longer in the room, so she immediately got ready and went to work in the yard.

As soon as he entered Hengyuanju, he was called in by Qingzhu.

"*** wants to see you."

Fu Ran followed him into the main hall, where *** and the Duke of England were both there.

Fu Ran knelt down somewhat stiffly and bowed deeply.

"Get up, Fu Ran. You were wronged yesterday at the Grand Tutor's Mansion." *** gently asked Nanny Qiu to help Fu Ran up.

Fu Ran was shocked. This was not logical and there must be something wrong.

Could it be that she hasn't finished taking the blame yet?

"The slaves dare not."

Nanny Qiu still helped the person up.

"Duke Weiguo did take advantage of you yesterday. He caught Hongying in the act and made her expose her mistakes. This kid just has a bad temper."

*** naturally couldn't bear to blame her daughter in the slightest.

The Duke of England smiled faintly and said nothing.

"After this incident, Duke Wei should feel guilty towards you." *** could see clearly that Wei Xuan was a arrogant person. Yesterday, he looked at Fu Ran.

It can be seen that he has already remembered this person in his heart.

"The Duke of Wei is a noble man with many things to do, and he may not remember me." Fu Ran knew he was self-aware and did not dare to let such a person remember him.

*** had other ideas.

In the inner hall, all the outsiders had been sent away long ago, and only the Queen Mother, Duke Yingguo and Nanny Qiu were left.

"Fu Ran, your indenture is in the *** Mansion. It is a lifelong indenture. You belong to my *** Mansion for the rest of your life. You must do whatever I ask you to do."

Nanny Qiu handed over a piece of paper, and Fu Ran understood that it was her indenture.

"Yes."

"I want to place someone in the Duke of Wei's mansion, and you will cover for her."

Cover? How? Fu Ran has a strong sense of crisis.

"Madame Qiu will tell you the rest."

Fu Ran was taken away by Nanny Qiu, who didn't say much. She just asked her to behave herself and wait for ***'s arrangements.

Fu Ran just wanted to escape immediately.

What they arranged could bring good things.

***Let her rest for three days to heal her injuries. She will have the same meals as usual and does not have to work.

Cheng Jiang came to see her with some medicine. Seeing that she was beaten like this, Cheng Jiang felt complicated.

"Remember next time, don't try to be the leader." Cheng Jiang said.

Fu Ran smiled bitterly.

"How could I dare to speak out? I was beaten like this because I didn't speak out. If I really spoke out, I would have become an unknown corpse in a mass grave."

Cheng Jiang was silent for a moment before speaking.

"If you need me anywhere, just ask."

Fu Ran nodded. What she wanted most urgently now was to escape from the *** mansion. If she was used by ***, she would die. If she was used to fool the Duke of Weiguo, the Duke of Weiguo would also kill her.

It's a dead word.

She thought about it all night and realized that escape was not the solution, the only option was to die.

Once you successfully escape from the government, you can find an opportunity to get a new identity and start a new life.

"I originally thought that I could keep a low profile and leave the *** government after saving enough money and getting my indenture back. But now it seems that I can't do that."

Cheng Jiang is a bodyguard. He has not signed an indenture and is a free man.

But he could understand Fu Ran's helplessness.

"Brother Cheng, is there a mass grave outside the city?"

Cheng Jiang nodded and looked at her in confusion.

"Why did you suddenly think of the mass grave? Don't let your mind wander."

Fu Ran asked Cheng Jiang to help her keep an eye on the situation at the mass grave, and if she came across someone similar to her, she could borrow him.

"Okay." Cheng Jiang agreed to her.

After three days of rest, Fu Ran's body was almost recovered. She continued to work, doing the work of a second-class maid every day. She had a few days of peace.

She hadn't seen Princess Ruhui these past few days, and heard that the princess was confined to her room for half a month as punishment by the censor.

Next month, there will be a birthday party for the old wife of the Duke of Wei at his mansion.

Nanny Qiu asked her to prepare well. No matter what Fu Ran was going to prepare, she knew in her heart that *** was going to take action.

***On the surface, he got along well with the Duke of Wei, but in private, he had a lot of complaints about him.

That night, Fu Ran was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by someone.

It’s a red trick.

Qiu Ge was sleeping in the room. The noise just now did not wake Qiu Ge up at all. Fu Ran realized something was wrong.

"No need to look. She was given some medicine and she won't wake up for a while." Hong Zhao led Fu Ran to see the princess.

Princess Ruhui was still under house arrest, and she summoned Fu Ran in the middle of the night because she didn't want to alarm him.

This matter must be kept secret from ***.

"come here."

Fu Ran stepped forward.

"My princess summoned me here. What do you want me to do?"

Princess Ruhui looked her up and down. Fu Ran was wearing the standard clothes distributed by the *** Mansion, and every maid was wearing the same ones.

There will just be slight differences in color and quality depending on the grade.

Looking closely, she is pretty, delicate and elegant with bright eyes.

Ruhui felt a little helpless.

"Kneel down."

Fu Ran knelt down as he was told.

"Fu Ran, I know what my mother is up to. She has found a suitable candidate and wants to send him to the Duke of Wei's mansion. She wants you to cover for her so that she can draw attention to you and prevent others from suspecting that person."

The more Fu Ran listened, the more frightened he became.

To draw attention to her? No, that would be to draw harm to her.

"Mother must have that man marry the princess as her second wife so that she can use some means to control the Duke of Wei. Why doesn't mother let me marry into the Duke's mansion?" Ruhui was indignant.

In the entire Dayue Kingdom, she only has eyes for him, and she will never allow him to marry anyone else.

"I don't know what the princess means." Fu Ran took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"Why are you so stupid?" Ruhui looked at her with disdain. "Next month, the old Duke's wife will have a birthday banquet at the Duke of Wei's mansion. My father, mother and I will all attend the banquet. I want you to follow my instructions during the banquet."

The implication was that she wanted to override ***'s orders and act on her own.

The mother and daughter are using tricks to divert the trouble to her. Fu Ran is not stupid and will not do stupid things.

"The slaves dare not."

"If you don't obey my orders, I will make sure that no trace of your body remains." Ruhui said coldly.

Fu Ran had no choice but to agree first. The lord hadn't said what he wanted her to do yet, but the princess had said a lot of things. It was nothing more than asking her to be cannon fodder so that the person arranged by the lord could successfully marry into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

Given the situation of the secret fight between *** and Duke of Wei, Duke of Wei would definitely not marry anyone whom *** interfered with.

So, they were forcing Duke Weiguo to marry.

Just think about it and you will know that the means will not be fair. She is not even a chess piece. Who knows, when the day comes, she will be sent to be sacrificed.
