Marry a Duke

The next morning, Qi Ya brought news to Fu Ran.

The Duke is in the mansion this morning and I heard that he will leave in the afternoon to do some work.

Fu Ran thought about it, and asked Qi Ya to go to the kitchen and ask the cooks to stew a bowl of nourishing soup, and then send it to Chaoguangyuan before noon.

Of course, she had to deliver it herself.

The soup was not cooked by her, so it would be unreasonable for her not to even serve the noodles.

She wanted to put on a show so that the ***'s spies would know that she had put a lot of thought into it.

As for the result, I naturally don't force it.

Yudi brought the soup and didn't let Qiya take it.

Qi Ya has a straightforward personality and was worried that she might say something she shouldn't in front of Wei Xuan.

She didn't care. What if Qiya was punished? She would be powerless to save her.

On weekdays, apart from the maids who cleaned the Chaoguang Courtyard, there were only Xiao Ningzi who took care of Wei Xuan's daily life and Wei Xuan's close servant Bi'an.

Gaomian would occasionally appear here, but not often.

The gate to the courtyard is open every day, and no one in the mansion dares to step in without the Duke's permission.

Even when Fu Ran came, he had to report outside the door before he could enter.

Xiao Ningzi was called out.

I saw Fu Ran, and then I saw the soup bowl in Yu Di’s hand.

He immediately understood what was going on.

Yesterday's soup was poured away. The old lady didn't want the lady to bring her soup at all. Who knows if there was anything added in it.

Why is it delivered again today?

Xiao Ningzi frowned.

"Madam, why did you bring it again? The Duke didn't drink the soup yesterday." Xiao Ningzi said frankly.

Fu Ran was not unhappy at all when he heard this.

"I heard that the Duke came back late yesterday, and the soup he brought was already cold. You had to throw it away, although it was a pity."

"The Duke is busy with many things all day and has no time to take care of his body. He is so tired, which makes people worry. I eat and live in the Duke's Mansion. I have to do something for the Duke to feel at ease."

She asked Raindrop to pass the soup forward.

"If the Duke is busy, I won't go in. Please send the soup in. This is a tonic soup for replenishing qi."

The raindrop was brought to Xiao Ningzi as ordered.

Xiao Ningzi glanced at her, but she didn't say she would go in and send it off herself.

He took it reluctantly.

"The Duke's food and drink will be served by someone, so Madam, don't worry. I will bring in the soup today, and don't send any more soup tomorrow."

Xiao Ningzi explained very seriously.

Fu Ran responded and left with the raindrops.

Xiao Ningzi brought the soup into the yard, but did not take it to the study.

Last time, Nanny Li brought people to test the poison, and maybe she will do it this time as well.

He simply didn't bring it to the Duke's room, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.

After a while, I found a place and poured it out.

Coincidentally, when Xiao Ningzi was pouring soup, he was seen by Wei Xuan who had just come out of the study.

"What is this?" Wei Xuan asked.

Xiao Ningzi froze.

He never lied to his master.

Not now.

"Master, this is the tonic soup sent by the person from Xingyuan."

"Why did it fall?" Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Ningzi told about Nanny Li's poison testing yesterday.

"Master, the old lady is worried about the soup and food sent from the Xingyuan, so they have to be tested for poison. Master is so precious, there can't be any mistakes."

Bi'an on the side nodded.

"Xiao Ningzi did a good job this time. From now on, just throw away the things sent by Xingyuan. There is no need to present them to me to cause trouble."

Wei Xuan glanced at the empty bowl and said nothing.

Took Bi'an out of the house to do some business.

*

The next morning, Fu Ran brought some fruits.

Xiao Ningzi's face turned black.

She did it on purpose.

He told her not to send soup to Chaoguangyuan, so she sent it instead.

But now Fu Ran is pregnant with his father's child, and he can't lose his temper with her.

Drive her away.

So, Xiao Ningzi loses things every day.

Whatever Fu Ran gave, Xiao Ningzi would throw out.

These things didn't even appear in front of Wei Xuan.

Qi Ya asked around and found clues to everything. She heard that Xiao Ningzi had lost all of Fu Ran's things.

I feel that Fu Ran is really wronged.

One day, she was so angry that she grabbed Xiao Ningzi and wouldn't let go.

"Did you take it upon yourself to pour out and throw away all the things that the Madam sent over, and not give any of them to the Duke?"

Qiya is big and scary when she shows her power.

Xiao Ningzi is not even as tall as Qiya. She looks thin and small. Maybe she will grow taller in the next two years.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiao Ningzi frowned, "Don't make a noise in Chaoguangyuan, this is not a place for you to come."

She was just a low-ranking maid, who could do odd jobs and serve tea, but she dared to barge into the Duke's yard.

"I didn't enter Chaoguangyuan. If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I will definitely not let you leave."

She just wouldn't let go of Xiao Ningzi.

All of a sudden, things got out of hand.

It alarmed Qingfuyuan and Lanyin, and Furan was naturally not spared either.

When Fu Ran learned that Qi Ya ran to find Xiao Ningzi, she was shocked.

If she wasn't pregnant and couldn't run fast, she could have flown over.

Qiya is a very straightforward person.

Now I think she is good and right in everything. Xiao Ningzi is obviously bullying her by doing this.

"Raindrop, hurry up."

"Ma'am, please go slower and watch your stomach."

Fu Ran still tried his best to slow down his pace.

When she arrived, Lan Yin was already there, and Nanny Li arrived at the same time as her.

I saw Qiya grabbing Xiao Ningzi like a little chicken.

No one expected that Xiao Ningzi would have no room to resist.

Qiya is really strong.

"Qiya, let go." Fu Ran shouted anxiously.

Lan Yin saw her coming and kept looking at her.

Aunt Li's face darkened.

"Let go of your hands. You are causing trouble in the Duke's Mansion. What kind of words are you saying? Don't you two want to stay in the Duke's Mansion?"

Nanny Li was very powerful. Qi Ya glanced at Fu Ran and let go of her hand.

She snorted and retreated to Fu Ran's side.

Fu Ran was a little anxious.

"Madame Li, Qiya is simple-minded. She didn't mean it. If Xiao Ningzi has been wronged, I will apologize to him on behalf of Qiya. If there is any punishment, it will be me."

"Fu Ran, why are you taking the blame for me?" Qi Ya disagreed.

"He deserves it. Why did he act on his own? Madam Li, it was him who threw away all the things that Fu Ran sent to the Duke, and didn't give any of them to the Duke."

Qi Ya also reported everything to Aunt Li.

Nanny Li's expression did not change, but her eyes paused slightly.

Fu Ran figured out something.

There is no way that Madam Li doesn't know about this.

They know, but they don't care.

Because they think Xiao Ningzi is doing the right thing.

She doesn't necessarily have to care about anything, she just wants people to see that she has made an effort.

"Xiao Ningzi, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me directly." Fu Ran asked Qi Ya to step back, and she stood forward with her belly bulging.
