Marry a Duke

In order to prevent further danger on the road, Master Xuantian sent more than ten martial monks to escort the Weiguo Mansion back to the mansion.

The Wei family originally brought more than a dozen guards, and now there are more than thirty people escorting them on the return trip.

In one of the cars were two assassins who had committed suicide.

Originally, Master Xuantian planned to place them in the back mountain. If things were settled, he would burn them directly in the back mountain, letting them return to dust.

Wei Xuan had a plan, so Master Xuantian let him take the person away.

Today was Wei Qing's death anniversary, and with everything going on like this, both Madam Wei and Lan Yin were unhappy.

Fortunately, Master Xuantian promised to chant sutras for Wei Qing for three consecutive days.

Fu Ran was placed in the carriage and her condition improved slightly. Fearing that she could not withstand the bumps in the carriage, Wei Xuan ordered the carriage to travel slowly throughout the journey.

Everyone followed and walked slowly together.

Before getting in the car, Wei Xuan asked Gao Mian to give instructions to be careful of encountering assassins on the way.

On the way back, Madam Wei, Wei Lin, and Lan Yin, mother and daughter, rode in the same carriage.

Wei Xuan sat in a car with Fu Ran.

Fu Ran was actually not used to it, she just wanted Yu Di to come and accompany her.

"My Lord, you have to be on guard against anyone who might attack us again. In fact, you don't have to accompany me. They are not coming for me." Fu Ran's tone was still a little weak.

The impact of the heavy fall is still there and it will take some time to recover.

"Who do you think will attack me this time?" he asked casually.

Fu Ran was stunned. He would ask this. The person who ordered the monks of Huguo Temple to attack him must be known to her.

And she knew that the only person who would do that to him was ***.

"You said that this time, it was someone ordered by the *** to attack you?"

If that were the case, she would also be in danger.

***Is it certain now that she is useless?

He took great pains to adopt her as his daughter and sent her to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, but she was of no help at all.

A useless abandoned pawn will only lead to death.

Her face turned pale.

"If *** dared to use assassins to kill people, why did he go to so much trouble to send me to the Duke's Mansion?" Fu Ran didn't understand. Isn't it unnecessary for *** to do so?

Was it to deceive Wei Xuan?

"You can't fathom ***'s thoughts. You just need to know that *** can be tolerant, but she is not the only one who can tolerate. She didn't really want to take my life this time. Just two people can't do anything to me."

Therefore, *** only sent two people, and these two people were her to remind Wei Xuan.

If Wei Xuan dared to attack her people again.

Next time, she won't send just two people.

Fish die and net break——

"So, do you think I'm no longer useful to you?" She raised her head and looked at him, with a question mark flashing in her bright eyes.

"If *** really thinks I am useless, then my brother and sister-in-law are also of no value?" The youngest child had already been sold.

The other three may not be as lucky as the youngest one.

Will *** kill people to silence them?

There has been no news from Cheng Jiang in the past few days, and she knows she can't be impatient.

But those who were sold can still be found, but those who were killed can never be rescued.

"If you want to know, go to the *** government office and ask her in person."

"Do you really think I can go to ***'s house openly? If it happens again, I might not be able to avoid it." She lowered her eyes and glanced at her belly.

It's not too big and can be covered by loose clothes.

Will he feel sorry for his own flesh and blood?

*** wants to kill him now, it will be useless to make her angry. Once she goes to ***'s mansion, if *** gets angry and kills her, how can she avoid it?

She couldn't avoid it on her own.

Without a strong family, her parents' family became a burden to her.

Without extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for her to protect herself under the imperial power.

Even though she has high expectations, it is difficult to achieve them in the end.

"Don't worry, *** won't hurt you. Now you are my wife. If something happens to you in ***'s mansion, how can she get away with it?" He said it as a matter of course.

Fu Ran squinted at him. This man did indeed have his own way of doing things, which ordinary people could not see through.

"Your Majesty, you want me to lure the ***, right? The *** can't hold back, so she sent someone to attack you. Once I go to the ***'s mansion, the *** will definitely burn my anger on me. Once the *** takes action, you will have a reason to do something to the ***—."

She wanted to just do what they told her to do.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. If she continued to behave obediently, she would end up dying without knowing how.

"My Lord, you know that I am alone and have to rely on my own strength. If you think I must go to the mansion, then I will go, but I have to ask you to promise me one thing."

Wei Xuan looked at her in silence for a moment.

Under the wide sleeves, fingers gently pinch.

"What's the matter?"

"I can deliberately provoke her and make her do something to me, and then the Duke can use this as an excuse to attack her. If I am lucky enough to still be alive, after the child is born, I will ask the Duke to give me a divorce letter."

She looked forward to a wider world.

Even if she needs to take care of three meals a day, even if she has to work from sunrise to sunset, she just wants freedom.

You can look up at the sky at any time and breathe a deep breath of free, fresh air.

Hearing this, he said nothing, but just stared at her with his frighteningly dark eyes.

Fu Ran's scalp tingled from being stared at.

She forced a stiff smile.

"The Duke had no choice but to marry me. He was threatened by the empress. If I stay in the Duke's Mansion for one day, everyone in the capital will remember that the Duke was forced to marry a maid."

"Your Majesty is wise and brave, and you definitely don't deserve this kind of treatment. After you divorce me, you can find a suitable marriage partner. If you dislike the child, I can take him/her away."

She spoke very sincerely, all her words were from the heart, without any falsehood.

"Are you finished?" he asked calmly.

For some reason, Fu Ran always felt that his tone at the moment was a little too cold.

"My Lord, please think about this carefully." She lowered her voice.

I don't know what made him unhappy.

"Then I will ask someone to deliver the invitation to your residence tomorrow." She raised her eyes and looked at his expression.

"No need." He refused directly.

"Why?" Fu Ran was puzzled. "If the Duke is worried, he can have someone follow me. Guard Lin can also do that. He will definitely keep a close eye on me."

She had some self-awareness and knew that Bi'an was indeed keeping a close eye on her.

"There is one thing I forgot. In a few days, the prince of Qi and Princess Ruhui will be engaged. This time, they will carefully set the wedding date. *** should be very busy these days and won't be able to take care of you."

what?

Fu Ran opened her little mouth.

"Princess Ruhui wanted to kill the prince of Qi, but he still dared to marry her. Does she want to die?"

"If he doesn't marry her, he may not be alive." There was a strange smile on Wei Xuan's lips.

This made Fu Ran wonder if he was also involved in this matter.

He would not add fuel to the fire. The more Ruhui didn't want to get married, the more he would force her to marry.
