Marry a Duke

Bi'an suddenly realized.

"She is afraid of being like the previous lady—"

When Bi'an realized that he had said the wrong thing, it was too late. Wei Xuan's eyes turned colder and Xiao Ningzi looked at him with sympathy.

Bi'an will be secretly troubled.

It's all that woman's fault. If she hadn't done these things, he wouldn't have mentioned his wife first.

"I deserve to die." Bi'an admitted his mistake.

Wei Xuan didn't even look at him.

"Starting tomorrow, you will switch places with Gaomian." He was full of hostility towards Fu Ran, which was inappropriate at the moment.

When Bi'an heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

The master was completely annoyed with him.

Xiao Ningzi walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"You, even though you are doing this for the good of the master, she is still the wife, and the baby she is carrying is the master's flesh and blood. If you are disrespectful to the wife, you are also disrespecting the master. Now the master has said that she is the wife of the Duke of Wei, but you refuse to acknowledge her."

When Bi'an becomes stubborn, he can be quite hateful.

Bi'an's eyes widened, as if he just understood his situation. He had indeed been targeting Fu Ran, and that was all because Fu Ran's stance was against his master.

Fu Ran was sent by ***. Even though Fu Ran was injured and now stood up to testify against ***, he felt that it must be a conspiracy between Fu Ran and ***.

He was the one who insisted on doing it, but he felt he was not wrong.

Defenses can not do without.

If the master confidently treats her as his concubine and lets her run rampant in the Duke's Mansion, if one day she changes, the Duke's Mansion will be unable to defend itself.

The next morning, Gaomian appeared at Chaoguangyuan in place of Bian.

Bi'an is missing.

What was rare was that Fu Ran woke up early in the morning and was able to see Wei Xuan in Chaoguangyuan.

Yudi asked Xiao Ningzi and found out that today was Wei Xuan's day off.

Originally, Fu Ran planned to go out of the house today. She wanted to take the opportunity to find Cheng Jiang. There has been no news from Cheng Jiang for a long time. She also wanted to get accurate information whether the Fu family members were dead or alive.

Since Wei Xuan was at home, she had nothing to hide from him.

Breakfast was also light and nutritious. Fu Ran ate until he was about eight-tenths full and did not dare to eat too much.

After dinner, Yudi went to check and found that Wei Xuan was indeed in the study.

She changed her clothes and went to the study to find him.

Outside the study, Gaomian was on duty.

Fu Ran was quite surprised. In fact, he seldom saw Gao Mian on weekdays. He heard that Gao Mian had other tasks and was sometimes not in the capital. He would be sent out by Wei Xuan to do work.

Wei Xuan has a group of people under his command, but no one knows how many people there are.

Fu Ran vaguely felt that the person who deployed this group of people was most likely Gao Mian.

"Guard Gao, it's rare that you are on duty here today. Where is Guard Lin?" Fu Ran looked around but didn't see Lin Bian.

Lin Bian's words were full of meaning, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

To be honest, even the air feels fresher when he's not around.

Gaomian told the truth.

"Guard Lin has been assigned to another place due to some matters. I will be at your disposal for the time being."

Fu Ran understood it all, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Is the Duke in there?" she asked.

Gao Mian responded, "The Duke is doing business inside, does Madam have anything to do?"

"Please trouble Guard Gao to go in and report. Tell him that I have something I want to discuss with the Duke." She said politely.

Before Gao Mian entered, Wei Xuan's voice was heard from inside.

Let Fu Ran in.

Gao Mian opened the door for her and she walked into the study room. She was no stranger to the study room. At this moment, Wei Xuan was sitting in front of the desk with a pile of files on it.

It seems that even if he is on leave at home, he won't have any free time.

Fu Ran hesitated for a moment. If he was really too busy, would he think she was too busy?

Wei Xuan did not miss the expression on her face.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me." He looked at her.

Fu Ran heard this without hesitation. He knew that whether he told the story now or later, he would know the answer.

"The Duke is in the mansion today. I have something to report to the Duke. I have completely torn my relationship with the *** Mansion. I asked the *** Mansion's guard Cheng Jiang to find out the whereabouts of my brother's family. Now I want to confirm whether they are alive or dead."

Her expression was very calm.

Perhaps as early as after the mute woman's nephew and his family were killed, she had already accepted the possible fate of the rich family.

Once you land in the *** palace, it is impossible to escape alive easily.

Even if she had listened to ***'s words obediently, with Wei Xuan's ability, it would be impossible for him to be controlled by ***, and *** would not be able to control Wei Xuan successfully.

The ones who died were still her relatives.

"What would you do if they were already dead?" He held a wolf-brush pen in his hand, his eyes falling on the file in front of him.

That day, he asked someone to find out where Fu Ran's family was being held.

They also successfully rescued Fu Ran's brother, his wife and children, and also found the child who was sold.

But he was not in a hurry to tell Fu Ran all this.

Fu Ran reluctantly curled her lips, as if she was smiling, and shook her head: "It doesn't matter. Human life is cheap and we have no control over our own lives. I just hope that they can live in a freer and safer world in their next life."

"If they are really gone, could you please have someone help me find out where their remains are? As the only living person in the rich family, I should at least collect their bodies for them."

She didn't cry, feel sad or upset.

But her expression was still sad.

Brother Fu and Sister Fu sold the original owner, and the two children are still innocent.

They lost their lives just like that, and it is the injustice of this world.

If Fu Ran lived a wealthy life, it is estimated that Brother Fu and Sister-in-law Fu would not intend to sell Fu Ran.

After all, we are connected by blood.

"Okay, I'll have someone find it for you." He put down the pen in his hand and promised, "You don't have to be too sad, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Duke. I know that." If I could collect the bodies of the rich family and bury them properly, it would complete their acquaintance.

"There is one more thing I need your help, Lord."

"explain."

"Please return Cheng Susu's household registration card that the Duke took away that day to me." She asked for Cheng Susu's household registration card again, but this time she did not want to keep Cheng Susu's household registration card and escape.

Before Wei Xuan could speak, Fu Ran explained immediately.

"Don't get me wrong, Duke. I'm not holding the household certificate and waiting for an opportunity to leave. I've said before that the household certificate was given to me by someone else. Big Brother Cheng only has one sister. After Cheng Susu died, Big Brother Cheng was the only one left in the world. He always carried this household certificate with him, so he could lend it to me in an emergency."

She never found Cheng Susu's household registration card.

Cheng Susu is dead, so it is impossible to get another one.

"Please give me the household certificate and return it to Brother Cheng so that he can carry it with him and remember his sister." She knew how important Cheng Susu was in Cheng Jiang's heart.

Cheng Jiang even went so far as to help her time and time again, treating her as his sister.

Want to make up for what he didn't do to Cheng Susu.

Wei Xuan frowned slightly when he heard her calling "Brother Cheng" left and right.

Fu Ran was still waiting. After a long while, he stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and took out Cheng Susu's household registration card from one of the books.

Her eyes widened. She didn't expect that he really put the household registration card in the book. She couldn't find it anywhere before, and it was impossible for her to look through so many books one by one.
