Marry a Duke

Chapter 121 Missy

When the carriage entered the city, Fu Ran couldn't help but be curious, so he lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the top of the city wall.

Lan Yin didn't know Wei Xuan's instructions, so naturally she didn't know there was a human head hanging high on the city wall.

Wei Nian wanted to go over to take a look, but was stopped by Fu Ran.

"There are too many people outside, there's nothing to see." She told Wei Nian in a soft voice that there were many people crowded at the city gate, all of whom came to watch the excitement and pointed and talked constantly.

If the city guards had not been there to disperse the crowd, the crowd would have grown larger and larger, hindering the people from entering and leaving the city.

Fu Ran only took a quick glance and could not see it clearly. The heads hanging high on the city wall were quite far away and could not be seen clearly either.

If she had not heard what Wei Xuan said in the yard before, she would not have been able to tell that it was a human head.

Her mood was a little complicated.

In the past, I had only heard about how powerful Wei Xuan was, but I had never seen him in person, so the experience was different.

Now, she really saw it.

Only then did I realize that Wei Xuan was as his name suggested.

The Wei family's carriage went straight into the city without stopping. Mingyue and Yuanxin went back to the Duke of Wei's Mansion with them first, stayed in the mansion for a while, and then took the carriage of the Prince of Shou's Mansion back.

After Fu Ran returned home, he took Wuyou directly back to Chaoguangyuan.

Lan Yin also took Wei Nian back to Qingyin Tower.

What happened last night made them not get a good rest, so they took a good rest after coming back.

Fu Ran held Wuyou in her arms and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already afternoon. Qiaoer told her that Mingyue and Yuanxin had been with Madam Wei in the mansion for lunch before returning.

During this time, he came over to invite her over, but knowing that she and Wuyou were sleeping, he did not disturb them.

When Fu Ran woke up, Nanny Xu had already asked someone to send food over from the kitchen.

Wuyou was also fed by the wet nurse.

Wei Xuan had never returned to Chaoguangyuan. Fu Ran asked Qiao'er and found out that he had sent them back home and then left.

The man in black who came to our door last night and the follow-up must be dealt with properly.

Wei Xuan has been very busy these two days and didn't even go to her room at night to accompany Wuyou.

Fu Ran felt a lot more relieved.

On this day, Fu Ran was drawing a sample dress for her daughter. She planned to make one for her daughter herself after the sample was finished, which could be regarded as her mother's intention.

She didn't have very good skills, but there were embroiderers in the mansion, and every season, someone would come to take measurements and make clothes for them.

Wuyou gave quite a few small clothes as rewards, and Lanyin also gave Wei Nian a lot of small clothes that she had rarely worn before.

Lan Yin was worried that Fu Ran would dislike her, but who knew that Fu Ran liked her so much.

"This is what Nian'er wore. If I give it to Wuyou, Wuyou will like it too." Fu Ran felt that wearing Nian'er's old clothes was better than wearing new clothes directly.

The old clothes have become much softer after being worn several times.

Lan Yin's expression relaxed. She had originally planned to make a few sets of clothes to give to Wuyou.

But Nian'er really had a lot of small clothes, some of which she had only worn once or twice, and some of which she had not even had time to wear because she had grown up and could no longer wear.

Lan Yin originally wanted to give these clothes to her relatives from her mother's side.

But one time, she accidentally heard someone say that she was a widower and it was better to stay away from her.

Gradually, she stopped interacting with her relatives from her mother's side.

She could be looked down upon, but her daughter could not.

Nian'er is the eldest granddaughter of the Duke's Mansion. Just based on this identity, she can have a very happy and fulfilling future.

"But some people think that it's unlucky that Nian'er lost her father before she was born. If you wear Nian'er's clothes, you will be unlucky." Lan Yin's eyes were red.

She has been feeling upset about this.

So, she only picked out a few styles, all of which were made of high-quality fabrics, and sent over clothes that Nian'er had hardly worn.

"Did someone really say that?" Fu Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise. Lan Yin was the eldest lady of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion. She had both status and position. Who would dare to gossip about her in front of her?

Even though Wei Qing is dead, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has not collapsed and it will be her eternal support.

Lan Yin nodded silently.

Fu Ran was a little angry: "Is the person who said this stupid? My elder brother died on the battlefield defending his country. How great is that? How can you allow others to slander his wife and daughter? Sister-in-law, you don't need to have any dealings with such people anymore. It shows their character."

What good luck and bad luck.

It's all nonsense.

Lan Yin nodded gently: "I have gradually lost contact with them. If they look down on Nian'er, I will not get close to them anymore. Fu Ran, you are so nice. I have always been worried that you would refuse."

Fu Ran took her hand and patted it: "Sister-in-law, Nian'er is so cute. Brother's spirit in heaven must want to be with Nian'er, but he sacrificed for the country, so we must take good care of Nian'er as well as him."

Lan Yin pulled the corners of her lips slightly.

The words are so.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That's right, my Nian'er's status is still noble."

"Yes, she is the eldest daughter of our Duke Weiguo's Mansion."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Wei Lin came here. She came to find Fu Ran, but she didn’t expect Lan Yin to be here too.

She came here yesterday. She heard that her mother was ambushed while she was worshipping Buddha in the other courtyard. She was extremely worried and rushed here in a hurry.

She was relieved to know that her mother was fine.

She has already informed the Shen family that she will stay at her parents' home for half a month to accompany her mother.

Of course the Shen family would have no objection, as they have always followed Wei Lin's wishes.

When Wei Lin just came over, she happened to hear the last sentence they said and thought that the two of them were saying bad things about her in private.

Her face immediately looked bad. Yudi, who was outside, saw her coming and was about to report inside, but Wei Lin pushed Yudi away.

Entered Fu Ran's room.

"I really can't believe you're really capable. Even my sister-in-law is being led around by you and is on the same page with you." Wei Lin's eyes were filled with coldness: "You two are still secretly plotting against me? What? I'm the eldest daughter of the Wei family. Even if I get married, it can't shake my status."

Fu Ran and Lan Yin looked at each other, both of them were speechless for a moment.

Neither of them really mentioned her at all.

"Linlin, did you misunderstand?" Lan Yin asked anxiously.

Wei Lin had no opinion about Lan Yin. Lan Yin was also pitiful. Now that her elder brother was gone and she only had a daughter, her second half of life would not be easy.

"Sister-in-law, you have a soft personality, so you can't just listen to others. You have to do whatever she tells you to do and say whatever she tells you to say. Don't let her lead you by the nose. You don't have her scheming." Wei Lin's words were like a direct hit to Fu Ran's face, calling her out by name.

Fu Ran paused expressionlessly.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

She wanted to hear what other charges Wei Lin was going to put on her.
