Marry a Duke

From the mute woman, Fu Ran learned the general development of the matter.

The mute woman's nephew was controlled by someone and forced to keep an eye on Fu Ran's every move, even Chao Guangyuan's every move.

The area she cleaned was just outside Chaoguangyuan.

Moreover, she was a mute, and the people in the Duke's Mansion never thought of guarding against her.

She sent a lot of news to the *** government.

Now that the Duke knows, she has no face to stay in the Duke's Mansion any longer.

The mute woman has already pleaded guilty, and she will not complain no matter how the Duke's Mansion punishes her.

She only hoped that before she died, the Duke would rescue her nephew and his family.

That was the only bloodline from her mother's family.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Fu Ran staring at the mute woman's back for a long time without moving, Yu Di asked worriedly.

Fu Ran slowly came back to his senses.

For some reason, she saw death on the mute woman's face.

"Where is the Duke?" she asked.

Yudi didn't know, so Fu Ran asked her to go and find out and then come back to tell her.

After this incident, the mute woman found that her nephew's family was missing and was trapped by such a powerful man as ***.

She had done something wrong to the Wei family again and could no longer stay in the Duke's Mansion.

It was also tormenting for her in her heart. Over the years, Madam Wei had treated her very well and given her a place to settle down.

She was worried that the mute woman would be upset.

Yudi dragged Xiao Ningzi along to find out where the Duke was.

After a moment, he came back.

Coincidentally, Wei Xuan returned to Chaoguangyuan, so Fu Ran didn't have to look for him everywhere.

"Are you looking for me?" Wei Xuan had already heard Xiao Ningzi mention it.

He actually underestimated her observation skills. The mute woman often came in and out in front of him, but he had never cast a suspicious eye on her.

Fu Ran nodded.

There was no one around her available, so she let the raindrops go, but the raindrops were timid.

He still needs guards around him.

"The Duke has just asked about the mute woman. She didn't deny it, did she?"

"No."

"She begged the Duke to rescue her nephew. It seems that she wants to apologize." Otherwise, she would not trouble the people in the Duke's Mansion again.

How could Wei Xuan not understand the meaning of her words?

If the mute woman wanted to apologize, the only way was to die.

His dark eyes darkened slightly.

"Bi'an."

"My subordinate is here."

"Find someone to keep an eye on the dumb woman and don't let her commit suicide."

Bi'an was stunned for a moment and stared at Fu Ran with narrowed eyes. These were all said by her, and now he believed her without even a doubt.

Why do you still doubt the mute woman?

Isn't the real suspicious person her, the wife of Duke Weiguo?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Fu Ran raised her eyebrows. Bi'an has been dissatisfied with her for a long time.

I'm afraid he is thinking that she deserves to die even more than the mute woman.

Bi'an was about to speak when he noticed that the Duke was staring at him, and he was shocked.

"I'll go right away." He hurried away.

Fu Ran pursed his lips and said nothing.

"I think it would be bad if the mute woman died in the Duke's Mansion. Maybe the *** would use this as an excuse to have the Censorate impeach the Duke's Mansion."

Wei Xuan's eyes flashed.

"You know quite a lot."

"Learn little by little. People living in this world must constantly improve themselves." She curled the corners of her lips and showed a not-so-good smile. "Fortunately, the Duke is a sensible person, unlike Guard Lin, who once he makes a decision, will stare at a person forever."

Anyone except a blind person can see what Bi'an is thinking.

"He is just too straightforward. You don't have to worry about it." Wei Xuan said.

Fu Ran didn't argue any more. Bi'an was his close attendant, so he was naturally close to him.

The relationship between her and him was far from close.

"The Duke is right." She bowed and went back to her room with Yudi.

When talking to Wei Xuan, she tried her best not to feel oppressed.

But he was a powerful official, holding a high position of power and making great contributions. He was a young man who grew up in a duke's mansion, and the aura around him was not something that ordinary people could have.

She has become calmer each time.

"Madam, are you okay? I see you look a little pale." Yudi said worriedly.

Fu Ran shook his head.

She's fine.

"I am a little worried about the mute woman. She is all alone and helpless. Perhaps, asking the Duke to help her save her nephew is just a slim hope. Perhaps, in her heart, her nephew has no chance of survival."

So, she didn't want to live anymore.

The dumb woman is old, and the only hope in her life is taken away by the ***.

She had dealt with *** before, although not face to face, but she knew that *** was not a soft-hearted person.

Her nephew's family would have been in great danger if they had fallen into the hands of the traitors.

Fu Ran suddenly remembered that her brother and sister-in-law were still in ***'s hands.

There has been no new news from Cheng Jiang.

I don't know how they are doing.

I am afraid that there are many crises and little hope for survival.

That night, the mute woman hanged herself in her room.

Fortunately, she was rescued in time by the guards hiding in the dark, and the mute woman's life was saved.

Wei Xuan sent someone to look for the mute woman's nephew.

Sadly, they had already been dealt with.

*** is good at threatening people and using the bloodline of their relatives to threaten them.

The handling of this matter was even more clean and efficient.

It is usually difficult to obtain evidence.

Before the mute woman was informed of this matter, Old Madam Wei called her over and told her that her nephew and his family were all fine, and that the Duke's Mansion had given them some silver to let them go far away and not to make a living in the capital.

So as to avoid being seen by *** again and then being killed.

The mute woman believed it.

Only if she believed it could she have hope of living.

Old Madam Wei also arranged for the mute woman to work on the farm outside. Even if she didn't work, the Wei family would let her live out her life in peace.

The mute woman didn't dare to stay in the Duke's Mansion any longer, for fear that the traitors would use her to deal with the Duke's Mansion.

That day, he was taken out of the city by the Duke's Mansion's carriage.

When Fu Ran found out about this, the mute woman had already left the city.

Wei Xuan entered the capital early in the morning, and in the afternoon a large number of imperial guards suddenly rushed into the Wei family.

We need to search for evidence in the Duke's Mansion.

Leading the imperial guards were Emperor Xuanzong, Duke Ying, Wei Xuan, and the prime minister.

The last one to show up was the current emperor.

*** was sitting in a small sedan chair, being carried by several people. *** was drugged, and that person confessed that he was instructed by the Duke of Weiguo.

He bit himself with poison in front of his face.

*** was poisoned by a strange poison, the Tianshan Cloud Needle, and even the Imperial Hospital could not come up with an antidote for the time being.

Therefore, *** felt weak and painful all over, his face was pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.

This is tortured by pain.

The emperor didn't want to see his sister being tortured like this.

He knew that his elder sister had been fighting openly and secretly with Wei Xuan recently, and neither of their methods had been spared.

Wei Xuan has never been a purely kind person.

He can use the necessary means without blinking an eye.

For a moment, the emperor didn't know who to trust.

*** wants the emperor to give him justice.

Bring the imperial guards into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion to search. As long as a drop of Tianshan Yunzhen poison is found in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, it will be confirmed that Wei Xuan was the one who poisoned them.

The crime of murdering a member of the royal family was enough to make Wei Xuanbie very guilty.
