Marry a Duke

On the way here, I had heard about Fu Ran's situation. She had woken up, which was the best.

"Can I have a meal?"

"Yes, I drank two bowls of porridge."

Wei Xuan didn't ask any more questions. When he arrived at Xingyuan, he found Fu Ran still sleeping, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Why did you fall asleep again?" A person who had slept for two days and two nights was really that sleepy.

"Madam is tired. She had some porridge and went to bed again." The raindrop replied in a low voice.

"Doctor Ji said that if Madam wants to sleep, let her sleep."

Since Doctor Ji said so, Wei Xuan had no reason to doubt Doctor Ji. However, he was still worried whether there was something wrong with Fu Ran's health.

Is it normal to be so sleepy?

Fu Ran slept until noon the next day. When he woke up, his spirit had almost recovered, but his mood had not yet recovered.

This trip of ups and downs had a huge impact on her.

After she recovered, she began to face up to how she should live her future.

*** sent secret guards to take her away, but she wanted to go to ***'s mansion in person. At least, *** was not able to control the wife of Duke Weiguo openly.

Ever since she came into this world, she has always felt like she was drifting with the flow.

Now, she knew that this flow, at the end, was a dead end.

She needs to rise up and make a living for herself.

Fu Ran ate some food and fed herself and the baby in her belly.

She wanted to go out and go to the *** Mansion, but she didn't want to ask Madam Wei for help.

Madam Wei only thought of her as a child-bearing machine. After giving birth to the child, she would not have to live anymore. She really didn't want to beg her.

"Xiao Ningzi, is the Duke in the mansion?" She had lived in Chaoguangyuan for a few days, but had never seen him.

"The Duke just left this morning. He won't be back for lunch, but will be back home before dinner." Xiao Ningzi told the truth.

Fu Ran nodded.

"Please wait for the Duke to return home and tell him that I want to see him."

Xiao Ningzi looked at her for a moment, didn't ask any questions, and agreed.

Before that, the Duke personally carried the person into the palace.

Even if he had doubts in his mind, he dared not doubt his master.

Fu Ran invited Doctor Ji to ask him about his physical condition and what he needed to do next.

She can’t take too much medicine, but she has written down everything she needs to pay attention to in daily life.

She wanted to live, and her child wanted to live too.

And, live well.

Before dinner, Wei Xuan returned home. As usual, he went to Qingfuyuan first.

Fu Ran asked Yu Di to bring dinner over first. If Wei Xuan ate at Qingfuyuan, it would take a lot of time, and she and the children would not have to wait and starve.

After Yudi had prepared the meal, Wei Xuan returned to Chaoguangyuan.

There was a meal for one person on the table, but there were quite a few dishes, including meat, vegetables and soup, enough for Fu Ran to eat full and nutritiously.

Fu Ran sat at the table and was a little surprised to see him. He could eat so fast while having dinner with the old lady.

Wei Xuan glanced at her and sat down on the other side of the round table.

"Add a set of bowls and chopsticks." he said.

Yudi responded immediately and prepared the dishes.

More rice was served.

"How's your appetite today?" He held the chopsticks and glanced at her. Her face looked a little rosier today, not as pale and haggard as in the past few days.

"Thank you for your concern, Duke. I'm much better now." Fu Ran poured himself a bowl of soup. Today's soup was chicken soup, which was clear and not greasy.

It can be seen that Wei Xuan is quite satisfied with her condition.

During the meal, neither of them said anything until they finished eating and Yu Di cleared the things on the table. Then Fu Ran spoke to Wei Xuan.

"Duke, I have a request, please agree to it." She looked calm. She was just leaving the house, he didn't have to accompany her, but she had to go.

"explain."

"I want to go to ***'s mansion tomorrow. *** has taken great pains to find secret guards to arrest me. Some things have already torn our faces apart. I can't defeat ***, but it is necessary to let *** know my determination."

She has no power, no one to rely on.

Some had their relatives threatened.

"What determination?" Wei Xuan's eyes deepened and he asked lightly.

"I am determined to sacrifice for you. Since you think I am useless and are trying to use the child in my belly to control the Duke, I'm afraid you are wrong."

"The child can't control the Duke." Fu Ran smiled coldly.

How could a child who has never been expected by his father threaten him?

She was not what he wanted, and the child was not what he wanted.

She intended to obey the emperor and find a way out for herself. The emperor asked her to get close to the Duke of Wei, so she got close to the Duke of Wei.

"Your Majesty, you may cooperate on the surface. In secret, I will let you know all the tasks assigned by the Queen Mother. Although I am not a professional spy, I will definitely be able to cover it up for a few months. When the child is born smoothly, I will stay far away and not let the Queen Mother have the opportunity to control me and the child again."

Seeing that Wei Xuan had remained silent, she remained silent for a while.

"The Duke probably doesn't like children. Wait until I go downstairs and beg for him. The Duke will ask for a daughter from a high-class family to give birth to a legitimate son from a distinguished family. That would be the most appropriate."

After all, she just couldn't bear to leave her child.

I don't want the child to be born and give it to the Duke's Mansion.

She was going to leave with the child.

"Do you think that *** can trust you so easily?" His face was calm, but his eyes were deep as he stared at her face and her eyes.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"You killed her secret guard."

"......" Fu Ran's face froze, she looked at him in disbelief, suddenly remembering the night she escaped. She had no choice but to stab the secret guard's neck with a pair of scissors.

and so--

The secret guard was actually stabbed to death by her.

Her face turned pale instantly.

She never thought that one day, someone would die in her hands.

She dared to swear that she was absolutely a good citizen who abided by the law.

"Is that person really dead?" She was barely able to breathe, unable to believe it.

"Excessive blood loss, rescue is ineffective." The person is indeed dead.

Wei Xuan saw that she looked extremely frightened and was afraid that her emotions would fluctuate again, so he comforted her again.

"You did nothing wrong. That person kidnapped you from the Wei family and left your safety at risk. You just did it to protect yourself. You had no choice."

The day a secret guard becomes a secret guard, he has already confirmed that he can die at any time.

He had not expected that Fu Ran had such courage.

Kill the secret guard, steal the horse and escape.

If she had been a step later, she would have left the city and would have been nowhere to be found in such a big world.

She was holding Cheng Susu's household registration card, so everyone would just continue to look for Fu Ran. Once they were far away from the capital, it would become increasingly difficult to find him.

She would then disappear into the crowd with her child.

"Once you fall into ***'s hands, you will indeed lose your freedom and have no guarantee of life. Killing ***'s secret guards means that you will never be able to return to *** and be used by her."
