Marry a Duke

For the first time, Fu Ran looked carefully at Brother Fu, Sister Fu and her two nephews. She was not sure if these were the two children she saw last time.

They were slightly taller and thinner than I remembered.

One of them had a pale face and looked like he had suffered a lot.

"Ranran, thanks to the Duke for his mercy, he saved us from suffering and allowed our family to be reunited again." When Brother Fu saw Fu Ran, he was no longer the same as before.

Fu Ran used to be thin, timid, and honest.

Now standing in front of them was the wife of the Duke, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had an air of nobility, and was dignified and generous.

The *** took their whole family away, imprisoned them, and later sold their youngest son. Brother Fu was completely helpless. If they dared to complain, they would either go without food for a few days or be severely beaten.

After the fight, there is no medicine left and you need to heal yourself.

Many people who were imprisoned with them died.

*** never showed up, but the people below were all ferocious.

Brother Fu repeatedly asked them to let him meet Fu Ran.

He hoped that Fu Ran could find a way to save them outside, but what he got was a beating.

Brother Fu no longer dared to make any requests. Sister-in-law Fu complained all day long, blaming Fu Ran for not doing anything outside. Their family was going to die in this dark prison.

Fortunately, someone came forward to rescue them. Brother Fu and his family were already on the verge of death at that time. Sister-in-law Fu was breathing more than she was breathing out, Brother Fu was covered in wounds, and the eldest son of the Fu family was also dying.

They were sent to a safe place, where they were provided with three meals a day and doctors treated their injuries.

Not long after, Fu Ran's youngest son who had been sold was sent over, and the whole family was sent to Huaizhou, where they changed their identities and started a new life.

"As long as you are all fine, I will be relieved. I have been unable to save you before, and I hope you don't mind. With my own strength, I am no match for ***. Even if I want to play tricks under her nose, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Fu Ran felt completely relieved.

They are still fine and did not die in vain.

The mute woman was sent to another hospital, but her health was getting worse and worse. She wanted to continue to forgive sins, but her mind and body could not keep up.

If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Fu Ran could understand the mute woman. Without support in her heart, she had no hope of living.

"Ranran, please don't say such things." Fu Nian lowered his head in shame. "If my family wasn't poor back then and I felt that letting you into the *** mansion was for your own good, I would never have handed you over to the matchmaker and let you suffer for so many years."

Fu Nian shed tears silently.

Mrs. Fu supported Fu Ran and looked into his eyes, with a lot to say.

Before, Mrs. Fu thought Fu Ran was just a trouble.

She didn't want another Fu Ran to appear in her little family.

Later, Fu Ran was sent to the *** mansion, but Fu Ran did not blame them at all. Instead, he would send them the money he had saved from time to time.

"Fu Ran, it's your sister-in-law who has let you down over the years. Ah Da, Ah Er, come on, kneel down and kowtow to your aunt."

Ah Da and Ah Er knelt down immediately.

"aunt."

Fu Ran was unable to move, so he asked Yu Di to help him up.

"We are a family, so there is no need for such a big gift." She asked Yudi to hand them the red envelope she had prepared earlier, "This is a little gift from auntie, not much, you can keep it."

Ah Da and Ah Er received the red envelope with red eyes. After going through hardships, they realized that an ordinary life is also a blessing.

Before, they were ignorant and didn’t know that their aunt’s situation was also difficult.

Fu Ran didn't want to let them stay in the Duke's Mansion, and wanted to find an inn for them to stay temporarily, but the people in the Duke's Mansion might still be keeping an eye on the Duke's Mansion.

If they find out that they have returned to the capital and do something bad to them, it will be difficult to rescue them.

Wei Xuan has also sent people to make preparations and find a suitable place to accommodate them. He will send them out of the city early tomorrow morning.

Before leaving, Fu Nian suddenly took something out of his arms.

It was a jade button, which he stuffed into Fu Ran's hand.

"No need--." Fu Ran refused subconsciously.

I didn't think about it carefully, why Fu Nian would buy such a thing. The material of the jade button is quite good. Most importantly, ordinary people would never buy such impractical things.

"Of course, you should take it. This thing is related to your life experience. For so many years, I have been hesitating whether to sell it. When my mother passed away, she asked me to keep it well. It will be of great use in the future. But for so many years, no one has come to look for you."

Funian thought it must be fake.

Maybe my mother was confused before she died.

But the Fu family has never been rich. If their ancestors had such good things, they would have sold them long ago.

Fu Ran was stunned for a moment and accepted the jade button.

The quality of the jade button is only slightly better than ordinary ones, so it is not too rare.

"I'm not from a rich family?" she asked strangely, "Why hasn't anyone come to see me in all these years?"

Funian nodded.

"We have always lived there, and no one has come to ask about us. Maybe they looked somewhere else, but gave up when they couldn't find it. I can't keep this thing with me forever, for fear that I will pawn it one day."

Now, Fu Ran is the wife of a duke, and is different from ordinary people.

Perhaps, with this jade button, she can find her family.

"Forget it. Maybe I am just an abandoned child. There is no need to be so persistent in finding my family." She didn't care about her background.

Fu Nian wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Perhaps, you are a daughter of a wealthy family. Mother said before she died that she found you by the river. You were supported by a piece of driftwood. You were very lucky. You were wearing this jade button at the time. The other things have been lost for a long time, so mother did not tell you in detail."

It was indeed discarded.

Fu Ran didn't care anymore.

"Sister..." Fu Nian took three steps and turned back. For the past ten years or so, he truly loved his sister and put her first in everything. Later, he got married and had his own wife and children, and gradually he felt estranged from his sister.

His eyes were filled with tears.

"It's my brother's fault that he made you suffer so much. From now on, you should be a good wife of the Duke and stop thinking about us." They, the poor relatives, should stop bothering her.

Fu Ran was surprised, but didn't know what to say. He was still a little emotional, perhaps it was the emotions that the original owner had been unable to calm down for a long time.

The original owner also respected and loved his brother, so he was willing to ignore himself and send the saved money back to them.

Fu Ran smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will make my life better and better."

The word "brother" made Fu Nian feel relieved.

The relationship between them as siblings is shallow, and perhaps that is where it ends. He was too worried in the past, but he won't be like that in the future. He can neither be a help to his sister nor hold her back.

"Let Da and Er study, there will be a way out for them."
