Marry a Duke

She felt unwell all over, and felt so uncomfortable that she felt like her whole body was about to break apart.

Her hand rested lightly on her belly.

"Is the child okay?"

"The kid is fine."

She was completely relieved to hear his answer.

The child was very lucky. She encountered assassinations and pursuits many times, but she managed to escape every time and was still safe and sound in her belly.

This further proves that the bond between her and her child is very deep and strong.

If she could make her own decision, she would hope that the fetus in her belly was a girl, so that she could take the girl away from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and live on her own.

She will use everything she has learned to give her children the best life.

But this world is not very friendly to women after all. She can endure hardships and work, and is not afraid of anything, but she cannot bear to let her children suffer.

So, I hope the child is a son. At least, men will feel a little more relaxed in this world.

As the eldest son of the Duke of Wei, even if he cannot inherit the title in the future, at least he can be guaranteed to be rich for the rest of his life.

She was thinking carefully, her brows slightly furrowed.

Wei Xuan thought she was still feeling unwell.

"I'll ask the master to come over again."

"No need." Fu Ran came back to his senses and held him back. The master came, but the result was the same. "Duke, I'm fine. I just need to rest. Don't bother the master anymore."

Wei Xuan stopped and looked at her deeply.

"You shouldn't stand in front of me. You will only get hurt." He has guards around him, and his own skills are definitely enough to protect himself.

This is the Huguo Temple. Even if someone wants to place people in the Huguo Temple, they definitely won’t be able to place many people.

He was more than capable of dealing with just two of them.

But she almost got into trouble.

"Your Majesty is right. I really can't resist anyone. It's just that I saw something was wrong with them at that time. I thought Nian'er was still so young, so I was anxious for a moment."

She didn't say that she wanted to keep him so that the child would have a father.

Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows, "You and Nian'er have been getting along very well recently."

Fu Ran's expression froze.

Is he pointing at her?

You wouldn't think that she was deliberately trying to curry favor with Wei Nian.

She really wasn't like that. It was Lan Yin who took Nian'er to Xingyuan to see her. Wei Nian liked her and that's why he always stayed close to her.

"My Lord, please don't misunderstand me. If you think it's not good for me and Nian'er to be close, then I will avoid you in the future." She stammered.

She stepped back and her expression became colder.

"I feel a little dizzy. I want to lie down for a while." After saying that, she lay down and closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Wei Xuan knew she had misunderstood.

It’s not a bad thing that she is close to Nian’er. Since her eldest brother passed away, her sister-in-law rarely goes out. Nian’er is still young and not very close to other people.

Now, it’s a good thing that Nian’er is willing to get close to her.

Children are innocent, but not easy to deceive.

He didn't say anything else, just told her to rest and called Yu Di to come in and take care of her, then he left.

As soon as he left, raindrops rushed in.

"Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable again? Do you want to ask the master to come and take a look?"

"No need, I'm fine, just a little tired and want to sleep for a while." She still felt pain in her bones and all over her body. An ordinary person could not bear it.

"The lady is asleep, and Yudi is watching her. I'll call you if there's anything."

Fu Ran nodded.

She is really tired.

I had been thinking about finding the right opportunity to create a new path for myself, but I haven't found this new path yet, and I'm being constrained everywhere.

If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

Madam Wei and Wei Lin kept Lan Yin and Wei Nian together. Master Xuantian had already ordered the two monks who assassinated Wei Xuan to be moved to the back mountain for temporary custody.

Someone will take over and investigate further to see if they can find any clues.

They dared to take action in the Huguo Temple. The person who directed them behind the scenes was not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people can’t even enter the Huguo Temple.

"They are too bold. This is the Huguo Temple, under the feet of the emperor. How dare they assassinate the current Duke Weiguo? Aren't they afraid of the Duke Weiguo's wrath?" Wei Lin simply couldn't imagine it.

Huguo Temple must be held responsible for this matter.

Master Xuantian is highly respected, but he is not good at judging people.

Such people are still kept in the Huguo Temple.

From now on, who among the noble families will dare to come to the Huguo Temple to burn incense?

If you are not careful, you may die at the hands of the monks in Huguo Temple.

"Master Xuantian, you must get to the bottom of this matter and give the Wei family an explanation." Wei Lin's attitude was aggressive.

"Lin'er, don't be rude." Madam Wei stopped her daughter, "This is not what Master Xuantian wants. People's hearts are hidden, and it is hard to guard against them."

"Then we should give the Wei family an explanation. Who sent someone to kill my second brother? The Wei family has come to this point now. Our father is gone, our eldest brother is gone too. Who else can't tolerate my second brother?"

The second brother is the only male in the Wei family.

The child left behind by my eldest brother is just a girl.

It is still unknown whether Fu Ran is pregnant with a boy or a girl.

If it was a boy, she would have made some contribution.

Lan Yin held Wei Nian in her arms without saying a word, her entire body shaking uncontrollably.

Thinking about how her second brother was holding Nian'er when the assassin broke in just now, what would she do if Nian'er was hurt?

It’s all Fu Ran’s fault. If she hadn’t blocked it, giving her second brother a chance to react, both her second brother and Nian’er would have been injured.

"Mom, mom, don't be afraid, Nian'er is fine." Wei Nian comforted Lan Yin, "It was Second Aunt who was injured."

Lan Yin was shocked.

"Mom will take you to see Second Aunt."

Lan Yin handed Nian'er to the nanny beside her.

She has little strength, and now that Nian'er has grown up, she can hold him for a while, but she can't walk far.

"Mother, Nian'er and I will go see if Fu Ran has woken up so that we can thank her."

"Don't worry." Madam Wei didn't want them to leave. "Just because we caught two assassins doesn't mean there are only two assassins. If there are people lying in wait, it would be dangerous for you to go now."

She was protecting her eldest son's wife and children, and could not let them come to any harm. Otherwise, how could Wei Qing's spirit in heaven rest in peace?

"Don't worry about Fu Ran. Master Xuantian has already checked on him and confirmed that he is fine. He just needs to take a good rest. Wei Xuan is also there."

As he was speaking, Wei Xuan came over.

Lan Yin opened her mouth, but ultimately did not say her request.

My mother-in-law won't agree.

Wei Xuan ordered his men to thoroughly search the entire Huguo Temple. No familiar faces were allowed to enter, and unfamiliar faces were arrested directly.

Everyone had to be questioned.

Master Xuantian asked the Disciplinary Institute to cooperate and interrogate everyone in the Huguo Temple.

Huguo Temple is a national temple and cannot tolerate any mistakes.

After a thorough investigation, no other suspicious people were found. These people had witnesses who could prove their whereabouts during this period, and they had no motive.

For the sake of Master Xuantian, Wei Xuan asked the Discipline Hall to properly discipline the monks in the hall.

"Master Xuantian, I will take those two back to deal with them."
