Marry a Duke

The next morning, the weather was clear.

Fu Ran was also in a good mood.

The raindrop brought water for her to wash.

Qiya brought chicken porridge, steamed dumplings, and beef pancakes from the kitchen.

They are all very delicious.

When Fu Ran first arrived, he couldn't even imagine such a sumptuous breakfast.

The lunch was also very rich, with at least two dishes and a soup, and they were all good dishes, not perfunctory.

After lunch break, there are also foods such as bird's nest porridge and white fungus soup.

There are also some food supplements that can calm the nerves, and there are endless varieties of them.

Qiya told Furan that the kitchen has been working hard to prepare three meals a day for Furan recently.

"It was arranged by the old lady. She has taken a liking to the baby in your belly and will not neglect it at all." Qi Ya said happily.

She is happy when Fu Ran treats her well and when others treat her well.

Before, Fu Ran had been treated coldly by many people in Juyuan.

Now she is finally spoiled by someone, even if it is because of the baby in her belly, at least she is being treated preferentially.

"I am also blessed by this child." Fu Ran was very pleased, but he did not dare to be too pleased with it.

Many things in this era are relatively backward.

When a woman gives birth, it is like stepping into the gates of hell.

You still have to be careful and cautious about eating.

If the fetus is too large and difficult to deliver, there is a high possibility of two deaths.

The baby was too big to be delivered smoothly, and no one was able to perform a caesarean section, so the baby suffocated to death in the womb.

Adults are naturally not immune.

As waves of supplements were delivered to her, she only picked some to eat and gave the rest to Qiya and Yudi.

They don't have much chance to eat these delicious things on weekdays.

So, after a few days, her complexion became rosy.

People look more energetic.

Apart from the bulge in the lower abdomen, there is no growth of flesh anywhere else.

Fu Ran was also racking her brains thinking about how to get closer to Wei Xuan, how to make her believe that she was already close to Wei Xuan.

Privately, she has asked someone to check and see if they can find out where the rich family members are being held.

If she knew their whereabouts, she could spend some money to hire someone to rescue the rich family and send them to a safer place.

She didn't want to care.

But *** mentioned again and again that if anything happened to the rich people, it was all because of her.

She is truly sinful.

Maybe it's because of pregnancy that people are more likely to be soft-hearted.

Before she knew she was pregnant, her heart was indeed colder and harder.

Brother Fu Ran sold her and accepted the money from the ***. It was all his own fault.

If she had not been sold at the beginning, she would never have been a servant in the *** mansion.

How could such a thing happen?

Everything is predestined.

But for the sake of the baby in her belly, she wanted to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. She was also worried that God was unreasonable and would count sins that did not belong to her on her.

Or, report it directly to her children.

She had no one she could trust, so she changed the matter over and asked Qi Ya to ask her father to leave the house.

Qiya's father works in the outer courtyard and often has the opportunity to go out of the house.

Ask him to help deliver the letter and silver to Cheng Jiang.

She felt that she could trust Cheng Jiang.

Let Cheng Jiang take the money and find someone to help her investigate.

Of course, they would not let Qi Ya's father work for nothing. They would give him two taels of silver for delivering a letter.

That’s almost a month’s salary.

A few days later, Fu Ran received a reply from Cheng Jiang.

The letter is short.

Read it, will arrange it as soon as possible.

There was no signature on the letter.

But Fu Ran recognized Cheng Jiang's handwriting.

Cheng Jiang didn't receive much education. Later, he entered the government office and found an opportunity to learn more characters. However, his handwriting was really ugly.

Fu Ran calmed down for the time being and waited for good news from Cheng Jiang.

"What is this?" Fu Ran had not yet digested his lunch. After a short rest, Qi Ya brought him another bowl of soup.

Qiya looked at it and smelled it.

I remembered what the cook mentioned just now.

"It's a tonic soup. It contains several good things for replenishing blood and qi. It's made especially for you." Qi Ya said excitedly.

Fu Ran didn't want to drink another sip.

She looked outside.

"Is today the Duke's day off?"

She seemed to have heard someone mention it before.

Even when Wei Xuan was on leave, he was still very busy. He held great power, so naturally he was busy with important matters.

On days off, I may not be in the mansion.

"It seems so." The raindrop thought about it and it seemed to be today.

"Yudi, bring this bowl of nourishing soup and go to Chaoguangyuan with me." Fu Ran stood up and tugged at her dress.

I have been staying in Xingyuan recently. I don't have to pay my respects to Madam Wei, and I don't have much contact with my sister-in-law Lan Yin.

She doesn't pay attention to her makeup in the hospital.

Today, she just let Yudi comb her hair into a high ponytail.

Her hair is waist-length and black and smooth.

Even a simple high ponytail can have a certain flavor.

Fu Ran was not sure whether Wei Xuan was in Chaoguangyuan, and she did not plan to dress up elaborately.

She just wanted to bring him some soup.

If *** asked again, at least she had tried. If she failed, she could only blame Wei Xuan for being too cold-hearted and difficult to approach.

"What about me?" Qi Ya asked eagerly.

"Just stay in Xingyuan and look after the yard."

As she thought, Wei Xuan was not there when they arrived at Chaoguangyuan.

Fu Ran asked Yu Di to leave the tonic soup and have the servant in the courtyard deliver it to Wei Xuan's room.

She did not stay to wait for Wei Xuan to return home, but turned around and went back to Xingyuan with Yu Di.

The news soon spread to the old lady's Qingfuyuan.

When Nanny Li got the news, she first passed it to the old lady.

"Madam is very thoughtful. She specially sent a tonic soup to the Second Master."

Old Madam Wei half-closed her eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in her hands.

Recently, she had reorganized all the servants in the mansion, and any suspicious persons were sent out.

"Her only support in the Duke's Mansion is Xuan'er. Even if she gives birth to the baby in her belly, she still has to rely on Xuan'er. As long as she is not stupid, she will know that she should cling to Xuan'er."

When Old Madam Wei learned that Wei Xuan had specially asked Doctor Ji to take Fu Ran's pulse and asked Doctor Ji to prescribe some nourishing medicine, she knew that Fu Ran was already in Wei Xuan's heart.

Although she was dissatisfied with Fu Ran's background and her motives behind marrying him.

My son is now also fighting against the ***.

One day, Wei Xuan fights and wins, and Fu Ran's coming and going will be easy to control.

"Send someone to watch over it. Don't let Xuan'er drink the medicine that has passed through her hands. It must be tested for poison before it can be put in front of Xuan'er."

Old Madam Wei could never completely trust Fu Ran.

The tonic came from her hand. If the *** ordered her to poison Wei Xuan.

It's hard to guard against.

The Wei family now has only Wei Xuan as its sole descendant, who has to shoulder all the glory of the Weiguo Mansion and cannot afford any mistakes.

"Yes, I will have someone try the poison right away."

The poison was tested with silver needles and found to be non-toxic in the soup.

Moreover, this soup comes from the kitchen and is not made by Fu Ran himself.
