Marry a Duke

Alin still took the risk and went to the Mansion of Duke Shenguo, after all, going to the Mansion of Duke Weiguo was too risky.

Shen Yan was not there, and neither was Yuchi Mingxiu.

They had been looking for Fu Ran outside for a long time.

The only one left in the mansion was Madam Shen, and she asked someone to bring A-lin to her.

After asking, I found out that Alin was from the Princess's Mansion.

Mrs. Shen was extremely shocked.

Send Alin back immediately.

"Don't let the princess find out, otherwise it will be bad for you." Mrs. Shen thought about it and decided to keep A Lin for now. "You'd better not go back yet."

Alin originally thought that it was okay to go back, and he could defend himself.

"What if the princess finds out that you have betrayed her? Given her personality, do you think you still have a chance to beg for mercy?" Mrs. Shen didn't want the people who helped Fu Ran to end up like that.

Otherwise, how sad Fu Ran would be.

Mrs. Shen directly asked someone to send Alin to a safe place for the time being.

She sent several groups of people, one to look for Shen Yan and Yuchi Mingxiu, and another to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion to look for Wei Xuan.

Alin hastily drew a route map.

This place is quite far from the Princess's Mansion, and others would never imagine that people could be imprisoned there.

Half a day had passed since the route map was handed to Wei Xuan.

After the accident, Qian Wu’s life or death is unknown and he is still in a coma.

Wei Xuan has ordered people to keep an eye on all suspicious people.

The eldest princess also sent people.

But the eldest princess seldom goes out on a daily basis, and the places she goes are relatively normal.

"Gao Mian, immediately take people to surround the area above, do not let anyone in or out, and find the location of the lady as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Gaomian took the order and took his men to the route according to the map.

This house is located in the western suburbs and there are not many people around. This huge house was once the villa of a favored minister of the previous emperor. Later, when the previous emperor passed away, the property was taken back.

Although it is registered in the Ministry of Revenue, if it is something that the eldest princess likes, it will definitely fall directly into her pocket with just one word from the eldest princess.

The eldest princess renovated it and seldom came here on weekdays.

But it is definitely under the name of the eldest princess.

This villa covers a large area, with rockery, lake, and a large courtyard. It has everything. The eldest princess would occasionally bring Ruhui here to stay for a few days.

From the outside, this villa is no different from other villas.

But the inside is very different.

When the princess got this villa, she began to make extensive renovations, dug dark rooms, dungeons, and built many secret rooms. The craftsmen who worked for the princess at the time are now nowhere to be found in the capital.

I don’t know whether he was sent to another place or killed.

Cheng Jiang was arrested.

Someone saw Cheng Jiang and Fu Ran saying things they shouldn't have.

Cheng Jiang was tied up and left together with Fu Ran.

Cheng Jiang didn't make any excuses. At this moment, any amount of excuses would be useless.

"Brother Cheng, it's all my fault that you've been implicated." Fu Ran only hated herself for being powerless. If she had the ability, she wouldn't have been oppressed to this extent. Now, not only could she not take care of her own life, she couldn't even take care of Cheng Jiang's life.

"Where is Alin, Brother Cheng? Has Alin been discovered by the princess?" He may have even been silenced, which is why he has not come back.

Cheng Jiang had been tortured, his face was pale and blood was hanging from the corners of his mouth.

As soon as he opened his mouth, blood started gushing out.

"Brother Cheng." Fu Ran ignored the pain in his body and tore off a piece of his sleeve to wipe the blood off Cheng Jiang's body. "Brother Cheng, hold on. A-Lin will definitely find the Duke of Shen's Mansion, and someone will definitely come to save us."

Cheng Jiang spat out two mouthfuls of blood before he felt a little better.

"Alin left the Princess's Mansion safely, he will see her off. Fu Ran, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer, you have to hold on, you must hold on." Fu Ran held on, that is, his sister held on.

Since he couldn't save his sister at the beginning, he wanted to save Fu Ran.

"Brother Cheng, please stop talking." Fu Ran tried hard to treat his injuries. He was beaten so badly that he suffered internal and external injuries. There was no medicine here and no doctor was available.

"I won't watch you die."

Fu Ran once again threatened the doorman outside with his own life, asking them to call a doctor.

"If no doctor comes, then send me a coffin. Princess Ruhui is looking forward to me accompanying her to Daliang. If you really don't care and cause me to die here, and no one will accompany the princess, then you can only pay with your heads."

Fu Ran said coldly.

Anyone who has come into contact with Princess Ruhui knows what her personality is like.

How could they not know?

"Go and get the doctor."

At this moment, the Princess and Princess Ruhui were not here, so they had no one to ask for instructions. But if Fu Ran really died here, the princess would definitely punish them for incompetence.

Even if they didn't want to live, they couldn't escape severe punishment.

A doctor was called in, who stopped Cheng Jiang's bleeding and gave him some medicine.

"Hold on. If you're lucky, you'll be fine tomorrow after tonight."

The implication is that if he is unlucky and cannot survive this night, Cheng Jiang will not have a tomorrow either.

Cheng Jiang started to have a high fever and looked like a fireball.

But Cheng Jiang kept muttering "sister, sister".

No matter how dangerous the situation was, he wanted to protect his sister, but he failed to protect his own sister.

He regarded Fu Ran as his own sister and protected her time and again, putting in a lot of effort and almost losing his own life. It took him such a long time to return to this position.

He was just thinking, what if one day Fu Ran still needed him?

The eldest princess will definitely not let Fu Ran off easily.

This is Cheng Jiang’s obsession.

The obsession with not protecting his own sister.

Only by saving Fu Ran could he feel that he could be redeemed.

Now, he is dead.

"You don't have to worry about me. Death is not scary. It's good to die. I can go see my parents and sister." He didn't go anywhere at the beginning and didn't return to his hometown, but he lied to Fu Ran and made Fu Ran think he went back.

He didn't want Fu Ran to feel like he owed him a favor.

He did all this willingly and didn't ask anyone to repay him.

He wanted to die, but he didn't dare to die.

Now, he can't bear it anymore. His parents and sister probably won't blame him for not cherishing his life.

"Brother Cheng, don't talk nonsense. You have saved me so many times. I will not let you die easily. Alin has gone to deliver the letter. Someone will come to rescue us soon. We can escape together." Fu Ran's eyes were sore, and his heart felt like a hand was pinching it tightly.

Her friendship with Cheng Jiang was just like that. In order to have someone to rely on, she treated him with her true heart.

Cheng Jiang is a cold person, she didn't actually do anything.

She was not worth Cheng Jiang risking his own life to save her.

"I'm tired and I miss Susu." Cheng Jiang closed his eyes and the blood on his lips flowed out again.
