Marry a Duke

"It seems that Xiao Ningzi has told the Duke everything. Well, let's not beat around the bush. The Duke, please send someone to me. I wanted to ask Guard Gao to help, but Guard Gao must have something more important to do. Someone else can do it."

She doesn't pick.

If only someone could help her find out where the mute grandmother's nephew and his family are now.

She wanted to go by herself.

"Why do you want to investigate the mute grandma's nephew?" Wei Xuan asked calmly.

I also guessed a little bit in my mind.

"I suspect that the mute grandmother's nephew might have been detained by the police to threaten the mute grandmother, just like my family." They were all coerced.

The mute old woman would certainly not dare to tell Mrs. Wei about such a big thing, and could only endure it in secret.

He usually keeps an eye on Fu Ran's every move and tells him some of the things that happened in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Maybe, the dumb old woman would choose some things that she thought were unimportant to tell ***.

Wei Xuan never doubted the mute woman.

The mute woman is old and disabled, and her staying in the Wei family is intended to provide her with someone to rely on in her old age.

Arranging her to clean the garden was just to give her something to do so that she wouldn't have the thought of leaving.

It doesn't matter when she cleans or whether she cleans thoroughly.

However, when Fu Ran mentioned it, he remembered some things.

The mute woman always follows the rules when doing things.

She usually cleaned the garden like other housekeeping tasks, starting early in the morning.

"I'll send someone to investigate." Wei Xuan's face was somewhat solemn. If the *** really imprisoned the mute woman's nephew to force the mute woman to work for her.

These are all evidence of ***’s downfall.

What he needs to do is to find evidence and make it impossible for the accuser to defend himself and pin the crime on others.

She could no longer look for a scapegoat, and had to take responsibility for everything herself.

"You believe it?" Fu Ran was very surprised. She thought he wouldn't believe it.

Xiao Ningzi didn't quite believe it.

I don't think the mute woman would be like this.

"Whether it is true or not, we will know the answer after investigation." His tone was light.

Fu Ran nodded. "That's right. Don't miss any suspicious opportunity. The Duke is a man who can do great things, unlike Xiao Ningzi--" She muttered the rest of the words.

"Then I won't disturb the Duke's rest." She bowed slightly as a gesture of respect. Now that her belly had grown bigger, it was not very convenient to perform a big gesture of respect.

The child is half his, and she doesn't want to let her child suffer too much.

After Fu Ran finished speaking, he turned and left. Wei Xuan didn't say anything, his hair was still wet.

His dark eyes were fixed on her back.

She walked slowly, one hand subconsciously protecting her belly.

She was wearing less clothing today, allowing him to see her belly more clearly.

The bulging belly contained his bones and blood.

It felt amazing.

Maybe he was disgusted at first, disgusted that someone forced him to do the thing he hated most in his life.

The child you are carrying is also dispensable.

Now everything has changed.

Fu Ran left the house, called Yu Di back, and talked to Xiao Ningzi for a few more words.

Xiao Ningzi was honest and didn't answer.

Wei Xuan was silent for a while, then called Bi'an.

"Master."

"Let Gaomian come over."

"Yes."

Soon, Gao Mian came over and Wei Xuan asked him to check on the mute woman's nephew and report the news as soon as possible.

Gao Mian came back after an hour and found Wei Xuan had not yet fallen asleep.

"Master, the nephew of the mute woman originally lived in a bungalow in Zicao Lane with his wife and a daughter."

The people living in Zicao Lane are all living in poor conditions.

This bungalow was bought by the mute woman with all her life savings.

"I asked a few people, and the nephew of the mute woman returned to his hometown with his wife and children a few months ago."

"I checked the room and found that everything was not put away. Even the quilt on the bed was not folded. It was obviously not like he was away from home. It is very likely that, as the master said, he was controlled by someone."

And the neighbors were not alarmed, which shows that the people sent by the police did a perfect job.

"Tomorrow, find someone who can speak sign language."

He wanted to ask the mute woman himself.

"Yes."

That night, Fu Ran still slept soundly.

Wei Xuan believed her and was willing to send someone to investigate, which made her feel a lot better.

At least, he doesn't just oppose everything he encounters.

The next morning, after she had breakfast, she looked out from Chaoguang Courtyard and did not see any trace of the mute woman in the garden.

At this time of year in the past, the mute woman would wander around the garden, seemingly very busy.

"Raindrop, you got up so early in the morning, have you seen the dumb woman?" She believed that the dumb woman was not a bad person.

Just like her, she is likely to be exploited by the ***.

"I didn't see it, but I heard from Xiao Ningzi that the mute woman was taken away by the Duke." Yudi said.

what?

Fu Ran looked shocked.

He took the mute woman away directly. Could it be that he had found out something and wanted to confirm it with the mute woman?

"Where did he take the mute woman?" She wanted to go and see, and also wanted to hear what the mute woman said.

"I don't know either." Yu Di shook her head. "Madam, since the Duke has already dealt with this matter, you don't need to worry about it. Just take a good rest."

Why take a break? She is just pregnant, not sick.

I am in good health now.

"Then come with me for a walk outside."

Yu Di looked embarrassed, "Madam, the Third Miss is going back home today. What if I run into her in the garden?"

The third young lady has always been unruly.

"The third young lady is going back home." Fu Ran murmured. Wei Lin hadn't seen her for some time. If she came back home, she would definitely look for trouble with her like she did last time when she came to Xingyuan.

She was hiding in Xingyuan at that time but couldn't stop Wei Lin from coming to her house. Even though she lives in Chaoguangyuan now, she can't avoid it.

If you can't hide, then don't hide.

"It doesn't matter. If we meet, then we meet. Otherwise, she will come to me again."

She took a look and saw what Wei Xuan had done to the mute woman.

Fu Ran and Yu Di went to the lotus pond. There was no one in the pavilion beside the rockery. Some of the courtyards in the backyard were uninhabited. The doors were locked and would only be opened for cleaning.

As for Qingfuyuan and Qingyinyuan, Fu Ran did not go there.

The front yard is even more difficult to get through.

"Forget it, let's go back." She was a little disappointed.

Just as he was about to go back, he happened to see the dumb woman coming back with a pale face.

Fu Ran reminded Yu Di that she couldn't walk fast, but Yu Di could. Yu Di went forward to stop the mute woman and asked her if something had happened.

The mute woman was gesticulating and Yudi couldn't understand anything.

But Fu Ran can. In her previous life, she worked as a volunteer in a welfare home for a year and learned some sign language.

The dumb woman could hear it but couldn't say it.

"Mute, was it the Duke who wanted to question you just now?"

【Yes.】 The mute woman drew with her hand.

Fu Ran asked a few more questions, and the mute woman answered her one by one.

Fu Ran immediately understood that Wei Xuan had found out everything.

His speed was so fast that she originally thought that he would send people out to look for the mute woman's nephew early this morning.
