Marry a Duke

Chapter 64 Kneel down

Yudi placed the food in the lunch box on the table one by one, and she looked at her lady nervously.

But Fu Ran looked calm and his complexion was normal.

The food was laid out properly, and Yudi was still holding the food box, standing aside, feeling a little at a loss. Her reason told her that she should stay here to help her lady.

But the Duke certainly doesn't want her to stay here.

"Yu Di, you go down first." Fu Ran said. Originally, the food on the table was eaten by her and Yu Di together, but now that Wei Xuan came, it was not convenient for Yu Di to stay.

"Go to the kitchen and get something to eat."

The raindrop nodded randomly, and the worry in his eyes was clearly visible.

Fu Ran gave her a soothing look, and the raindrops retreated.

Fu Ran started eating in front of Wei Xuan, one thing at a time, slowly and methodically, with his appetite not disturbed at all by Wei Xuan's appearance.

Wei Xuan looked at her quietly for a while.

"I already know what happened today. *** wanted you to come over and you agreed. Why?" he asked.

Fu Ran looked up at him with surprise in his eyes.

"Why do you ask that, Duke? If the empress wants me to come to her house, I should of course accept it. If I don't accept it, what if the empress sends people to arrest me? Wouldn't I be suffering in vain?"

Is she stupid or is he stupid?

She now just wanted to quickly get rid of the control of the *** and the Wei family.

"Don't worry, Duke. Tomorrow when I go to the mansion, I will not do anything that is detrimental to the Wei family. I said at the beginning that if *** does anything that is detrimental to the Wei family, I will tell you, as long as you give me a divorce letter."

She was very calm, but there was expectation in her eyes.

She really wanted a divorce from him.

For the first time, Wei Xuan saw clearly that she really wanted to escape from the Wei family.

Yes, she had suffered a lot of grievances since she married into the Wei family. No one treated her as the wife of a duke, and he didn't care about her before.

As long as she behaves herself in the Duke's Mansion, it will be fine.

When she first found out she was pregnant, there was hope in her eyes, but now, she has probably seen through it.

"***'s affairs are not something you can handle alone. You killed the secret guards around ***, and *** will not let you off easily. Since you married into the Wei family, you have never actually helped ***."

"So, even the Duke knows about it." Fu Ran ate slowly. The food tasted good, but it didn't quite fit the flavor.

Maybe it’s because there’s someone sitting in front of me today who’s really disgusting.

I don't want to feel sorry for the baby in my belly.

She wants to eat more.

So she continued to stuff it into her mouth.

"I have been in the Duke's Mansion for several months, and I have never done anything against the interests of the Wei family. You have never gained any benefit from me. It's nothing more than that outsiders can talk about you without scruples, saying that you had the misfortune of marrying a maid."

She curled her lips slightly.

"In fact, people are very forgetful. If the Duke is willing to let me go, ensure my safe departure from the capital, and then marry a daughter of a noble family, people will only remember the new Duke's wife, and will no longer remember that there was a maid who sat in this position and occupied it for several months."

She also expressed her apologies. After all, not everyone can enter the Duke's Mansion if they want to.

Wei Xuan looked at her indifferently, knowing that she was going to continue talking, and did not interrupt her.

"My lord, this time I will try to get close to *** and get the plan that my lord needs from ***. Even if my lord doesn't like it, at least I can save a lot of effort. To you, I am insignificant and can be discarded at will, so--" She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at him steadily.

Wei Xuan's face was calm and he said nothing.

The next moment, Fu Ran slowly stood up, stood in front of him, lifted her skirt, and knelt down.

Wei Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

He went forward to help her up, but Fu Ran insisted on kneeling and did not want to get up.

When she came to this world, she couldn't completely avoid the rules of this world. They existed, and she couldn't change them by herself.

She could only comply temporarily and seek other opportunities.

"My Lord, I beg you. If I can successfully escape from the capital, I will find a place deep in the mountains and old forests to live out the rest of my life. I will never let anyone know about my relationship with the Wei family, and I will never let the evil people find me. I will also set up a longevity tablet for you, and burn three incense sticks every day to pray for your longevity."

She wanted to take a gamble that Wei Xuan was not a cruel and cold-blooded person.

In the end, there is still a bit of softness in my heart.

She has no background, a miserable life, and everything she does is passive.

Wei Xuan pursed his lips.

"Get up. It will be embarrassing if others see us."

Fu Ran obeyed and stood up.

Because she was pregnant, her movements were slow.

"I will go to the *** Mansion tomorrow morning. I hope the Duke will not stop me. Even if the old lady stops me, I will find a way to solve it."

The next morning, Fu Ran got up early, dressed, had breakfast and went out.

She skillfully found the two guards from yesterday.

The guard is not here.

The person who appeared in front of her was Gaomian.

"Guard Gao..." Fu Ran was quite surprised. She had not seen Gao Mian many times, and Gao Mian rarely showed up. "Why is it you?"

She and Bi'an look down on each other.

So, Bi'an did not appear in front of her.

Gao Mian's face was calm, and there was no disgust or contempt in his eyes when he looked at her.

"The Duke has ordered that I will escort the Madam to the *** Mansion today." Gao Mian replied.

Fu Ran did not question Wei Xuan's decision.

"Then it'll be hard work."

She thanked him and got into the carriage with Yudi. Gaomian drove at a slow speed.

Gaomian is wearing just ordinary guard attire today, so he doesn't look very conspicuous.

However, Fu Ran was still a little worried because Gao Mian was Wei Xuan's close attendant.

*** should know him.

When we arrive at ***'s mansion, it would be better to let him stay outside the mansion. If he enters the mansion and is discovered by ***, it would be inappropriate.

The carriage slowly moved to the *** Mansion.

Fu Ran got out of the car and looked up at the tall door lintel, feeling a little complicated.

At first, she tried her best to escape from the *** mansion, naively thinking that after escaping from the *** mansion, she would have a chance to start her life again.

The slap of reality was so hard that it hurt her for a long time.

To this day, the mark of the slap is still on her face.

The doorman saw her and immediately went inside to report.

Fu Ran waited at the door for a while, and someone came to pick her up.

"***Please ask Madam Weiguo to go to the flower hall."

"Thank you." Fu Ran nodded and told Gao Mian to stay outside the door.

"I may be out soon. Guard Gao can wait outside. I will take Yu Di in."

Gao Mian was assigned by his master to stay by Fu Ran's side at all times to protect her, so it was impossible for him to just wait outside the door.

"Don't worry, madam. The Duke has ordered me to be your close guard. I must accompany you into the palace." Gao Mian said.

Fu Ran glanced at the doorman and took two steps towards Gao Mian.

"Guard Gao, you are the Duke's attendant. If the empress saw you, there are some things she would not tell me. If you are not here, maybe you can get some useful information. You stay here and wait."

Seeing that Gaomian still wanted to follow, Fu Ran frowned.

"Why? My words are useless to Guard Gao?"
