Marry a Duke

Originally, Mingyue was still two months away from her coming of age. It was normal for a girl to get engaged before she reached the age of 15, but it was very rare for her to get married before that.

However, it is also a helpless move to take emergency measures.

That night, Wei Xuan brought Mingyue back to the Shou Palace to discuss the matter with the Shou Princess. In the end, Mingyue would be the one to choose the person, but she still needed to inform the Shou Princess in advance.

Only then did Princess Shou realize that Mingyue actually thought this way and had already done it.

She was originally against such a casual decision on the marriage of her only daughter. She wanted to take a good look at the other party and make sure that his family background, character, and appearance were worthy of Mingyue and the Shouwang Mansion before she would agree.

Princess Shou shed tears silently.

"Mingyue, it's all because of my mother's uselessness."

"Mom, don't say that. I chose the marriage myself, and of course I am willing to do it. Mu Yan is a responsible man, and he will definitely protect our Shouwang Mansion." Mingyue still decided to choose Mu Yan. General Mu also has a good temperament, and she has asked Wei Xuan for his opinion.

Wei Xuan also had a high opinion of General Mu.

Mingyue believes that she will not make the wrong choice.

Princess Shou asked Wei Xuan privately again, and Wei Xuan could only guarantee that there were no problems with the Mu family's conduct and character for the time being. However, after Mingyue and Mu Yan got married, they would live together as husband and wife, and he could not guarantee their emotional matters.

Everything depends on the bright moon.

Princess Shou discussed with Mingyue for a while and finally agreed. Tomorrow morning, Princess Shou and Wei Xuan will go to the Mu family together to ask the Mu family to propose marriage and prepare for the marriage immediately. In addition, they will also go to the Ding family to explain the reason to Prime Minister Ding.

When Wei Xuan returned to Chaoguangyuan again, it was already midnight and Fu Ran's house was already quiet.

Wei Xuan hesitated for a moment and decided not to disturb the mother and daughter's sleep tonight.

The next morning, Wei Xuan and Mingyue left the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Fu Ran woke up and heard Qiao'er mention this matter.

She didn't ask any further questions because the matter had little to do with her.

She was also relieved that Madam Wei didn't send anyone to ask her to go to Qingfuyuan.

After having breakfast at Qingyinyuan, Lan Yin brought Wei Nian to Chaoguangyuan.

Wei Nian teased Xiao Wuyou.

Lan Yin was talking to Fu Ran.

Lan Yin: "Have you heard? Princess Mingyue has decided to marry General Mu. This morning, the Duke and the princess returned to the Shou Palace. It looks like the wedding will be held in the next two days."

Fu Ran didn't quite understand it, but even though the matter was urgent, it still had to be kept secret from everyone.

If the Huo family sets their sights on the Mu family and eventually steps in to sabotage the marriage between the two families, I'm afraid everything will be ruined.

She believed that the Huo family and the eldest princess must have sent people to keep an eye on the Shou Palace at all times.

I'm afraid that there are people arranged by the two families watching outside the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

"If this can be accomplished, it will also help solve the urgent problem of the Shou Palace. I wonder which young princess Mingyue has chosen."

Lan Yin shook her head: "I haven't heard of that."

"If you didn't say it, we won't ask." Just focus on taking care of the children.

While the two were talking, Wei Lin came over with Yuan Xin. Fu Ran then realized that Mingyue went back to the Prince Shou's Mansion, but Yuan Xin did not go with her.

Shouldn't she be staying close to Mingyue? Mingyue is not in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and it is somewhat improper and unreasonable for Yuan Xin to stay.

"Oh, my sister-in-law is here too. It seems that my sister-in-law and Fu Ran have a good relationship now. Why did she come to visit without even notifying my sister?" Wei Lin said with a hint of meaning.

Lan Yin was really not used to this kind of sarcastic tone.

"Linlin, it's being too polite of you to say that." Lan Yin said calmly.

Wei Lin glanced at her sister-in-law and said nothing to her.

The reason she came today was naturally to find Fu Ran.

"You are quite cunning. With just a few words, you actually made Mingyue choose the young general of the Mu family." Wei Lin squinted at Fu Ran. Mingyue actually listened to her few words.

Wei Lin was unhappy because Mingyue listened to Fu Ran and not her.

She felt that the Ding family was good, and that the Left Prime Minister also held a lot of real power. The Prince Shou's Mansion was now just an empty shell and could not be of any use.

Having the help of the Ding family from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is not better than the Mu family, a family of military generals.

The world is relatively peaceful now, and there is not much room for military generals to use their skills.

Without meritorious service, it is difficult to have the opportunity to be promoted, unlike civil officials, whose chances of promotion are much greater.

"What the eldest lady said is true. Princess Mingyue is a person with independent ability. She has her own considerations. She chose the young master of the Ding family and the young general of the Mu family. All I said was that I hope she can choose the one she likes more." Fu Ran chuckled. She felt that her words did not have such a big impact.

Originally Mingyue was going to choose from the two of them.

Either your surname is Ding or your surname is Mu, and everyone has a 50% chance.

There is no final decision, Mingyue may choose anyone.

Wei Lin's accusation was groundless and she couldn't possibly admit it.

"Mingyue is only fourteen years old. She does have her own thoughts and opinions, but she has never encountered anything like this. After all, she is still young and easily influenced by the people around her." Yuan Xin said lightly.

The implication is that Fu Ran's words had an impact on Mingyue.

Yuan Xin was also unhappy. Mingyue had only met Fu Ran a few times, so why would she be willing to listen to Fu Ran's opinions?

"Miss Yuan, you are the cousin of Princess Mingyue. You should have cared more about Princess Mingyue. Unfortunately, Miss Yuan is more concerned about her own future. Today, Princess Mingyue returned to Prince Shou's Mansion, but Miss Yuan is still staying in Duke Wei's Mansion. Is this a nameless move? Or has the Wei family already promised you a position, so you are willing to stay in the Wei family?"

Fu Ran's words were directly directed at Yuan Xin.

She doesn't like beating around the bush, but she is willing to do so if necessary.

But some people just love to rush towards her.

Accusing her of things that had nothing to do with her.

Why should she be blamed for nothing?

Yuan Xin's expression changed slightly, and Wei Lin immediately felt sorry for Yuan Xin when he heard it.

"What do you mean by saying this? That's right, Yuan Xin stayed in the Wei family for a reason. Do you think that if you take charge of welcoming two guests tomorrow, you will be the mistress of the Weiguo Mansion? You are not qualified." Wei Lin accused disdainfully.

Fu Ran was not angry at her words.

"Whether it's a yes or no, it's not up to the eldest lady or Miss Yuan. At least, what happens tomorrow is not something I asked for."

She smiled faintly.

"Also, there is one thing I want to remind you clearly, Miss. Whether you recognize me or not, I am indeed the wife of the Duke of Wei. Even if I am not in charge of the inner house, it does not hinder my status."

It doesn’t matter whether others recognize it or not.

It doesn't bother her at all.

Some people just want to make themselves miserable.

"If the eldest lady and Miss Yuan really have a problem, they can ask the Duke to divorce me." She flipped her fair palms, "I am happy to accept the divorce letter, but as long as the Duke does not divorce me, I will be the wife of the Duke of Wei, and I will be legitimate."
