Marry a Duke

Chapter 27: Being the Duke's Wife is Difficult

Before Wei Xuan arrived, Eunuch Hai's men had already broken into the cold palace and stopped Princess Ruhui from giving the next order in time.

But Fu Ran's leg was still injured, and she didn't want to lie on the ground without dignity.

Instead, he propped himself up and sat on the ground with his back straight.

Princess Ruhui kept calling me "lowly slave" left and right, which was really irritating.

She tried it, and luckily, no bones were broken.

Just as another maid was about to hit him with another stick, Fu Ran shouted angrily.

"Don't forget, I'm the wife of Duke Weiguo. Even if I can't do anything to the princess, you guys can still do it." She glared coldly at the palace maids on both sides.

These are all from the palace. They used to follow the empress, and now even when they are doing work in the palace, they still obey the empress's orders.

Maybe you don't know about this yet, but Princess Ruhui is your only daughter.

Naturally, they also have to obey Princess Ruhui.

The palace maid was stopped and was at a loss as to what to do.

No matter what, she is indeed the wife of Duke Weiguo, and now Duke Weiguo is in the emperor's favor.

If the Duke of Weiguo pursues the matter, the princess will be fine.

But they will definitely be severely punished.

Upon seeing this, Princess Ruhui stepped forward, picked up a stick and started to attack.

A slave is a slave, he can't even handle the smallest task.

"waste."

Princess Ruhui swung the stick down, and Fu Ran caught it with both hands.

The princess usually lives a life of luxury, with everything provided for her, so she is not as fussy as the palace maids.

Fu Ran was able to catch it and pulled the stick in her hand hard.

"Why did the princess try to harm Fu Ran again and again? How will the princess explain this to the emperor?"

"How dare you bring up ***? You are not worthy." Princess Ruhui's eyes turned red. Her mother was confused and acknowledged the lowly slave in front of her as her adopted daughter.

Even though she is not my biological daughter, I still want to snatch things from her.

She would never let this lowly slave live well.

Princess Ruhui ordered the palace maids to arrest Fu Ran.

"Hold her hands and don't let her move."

The palace maid did not dare to disobey and stepped forward to hold Fu Ran's hand.

When Lord Ruhui took action again, the door of the cold palace was pushed open.

The people who broke in were several eunuchs, who were Eunuch Hai's subordinates.

They first paid their respects to Princess Ruhui.

"Isn't this the wife of the Duke of Wei? The Duke of Wei is looking for you everywhere. I didn't expect you to come here. This place is not open to ordinary people. Madam, please come with us."

One of the older ones said in a shrill voice.

Princess Ruhui hadn't hit Fu Ran with the stick yet, and hadn't taught him a severe lesson.

How could she let someone take Fu Ran away so easily?

"Go away. This princess didn't say she can leave. No one can take her away."

Wei Xuan stepped into the cold palace at this moment and happened to hear what Princess Ruhui said.

Fu Ran's leg was injured and she could barely stand for long. If it weren't for the two palace maids holding her on both sides, she would have fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.

When she heard Wei Xuan's voice, she felt relieved.

Her bright eyes looked over immediately, and the familiar figure made her feel completely relieved.

She was saved.

No matter how much Wei Xuan disliked her, at least he would not allow his nominal wife to be bullied by others.

That's not just bullying her, it's also bullying the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

"Duke, you are here." Fu Ran's eyes turned red and tears began to drip.

I didn't feel scared just now because there was no one I could trust.

Now that the situation was no longer dangerous, she completely relaxed and couldn't hold back her tears.

When the two palace maids saw that it was the Duke of Weiguo who came, their faces changed drastically and they immediately let go of Fu Ran.

Fu Ran was unable to support himself and sat limply on the ground.

When Ruhui saw Wei Xuan, she changed her fierce expression and dropped the stick in her hand.

He took a step and stood in front of Wei Xuan.

"Wei Xuan, you're here. Are you looking for me?" There was strong love in Ruhui's eyes.

How much she likes Wei Xuan's face.

He is tall, handsome, capable and has a good family background.

He is the most suitable man for her in the entire Moon.

Wei Xuan, however, seemed not to have seen Princess Ruhui. He walked right past her and went forward to help Fu Ran up.

He frowned slightly, but Fu Ran shook his head.

"They hit my legs with a stick. Now it hurts so much that I can't stand up." She was not pretending to be weak. In fact, one hit with the stick would definitely hurt her leg.

The coldness in Wei Xuan's eyes became even more intense.

He picked Fu Ran up.

His black eyes glared coldly at Princess Ruhui.

"The princess is not young anymore. If you continue to insist on your own way and oppose the Duke of Wei's Mansion, don't blame me for being rude."

"I didn't." Ruhui explained hastily, "Wei Xuan, I didn't. I did it all for your own good. She is just a slave and is not worthy of you at all."

In this world, she is the only one who is worthy of him.

"Whether she is worthy or not, she is now the wife of the Duke of Wei. If the princess is dissatisfied, she can go to the empress. Come, arrest all the palace maids who participated in this incident today and send them to the inner prison."

The guards who came with Wei Xuan immediately detained several palace maids.

There was also Sun Sisi, who was watching the fun and looked anxious.

"My Lord, there is a young lady from an aristocratic family here. How should we deal with her?"

Wei Xuan glanced at it indifferently.

He didn't know Sun Sisi.

Fu Ran looked up at him, "That's Miss Sun from the Anbo Marquis Mansion."

After saying that, she buried her head in his arms and spoke in a smaller voice.

"*** had intended to arrange for her to marry you, but things went wrong and she became a victim. Now she is unwilling to accept it."

"She is just Princess Ruhui's follower."

Wei Xuan responded indifferently.

"Send her back to Marquis Anbo's mansion and let Marquis Anbo discipline her properly."

"Yes."

Sun Sisi's face turned pale when she heard this.

But she was not Princess Ruhui, so she did not dare to raise any objections.

Princess Ruhui's shouting failed to stop Wei Xuan.

He asked Eunuch Hai who came later to hand Princess Ruhui over to the emperor.

Fu Ran was carried to a side hall and an imperial physician was called in.

The stick didn't hit her kneecap directly, so the bone was not broken.

But with that much force, my legs turned red and started to swell.

The imperial physician spoke after examining it.

"Madam's leg was hit by a heavy object, which injured her tendons and bones. Although the bones are not broken, the fact that she is unable to stand means that the bones must have been injured and cracked."

"Madam, I will prescribe some medicine for you. Please take it according to the prescription. Rest well within a month and avoid moving around casually."

Fu Ran thanked him and moved his legs. It hurt, but not to the point where he couldn't move them at all.

Maybe after a couple of days' rest, she would be able to walk again.

"Doctor, can I walk if I hold on to something?" she asked very seriously.

There was no other way. She lived alone in Juyuan. Even if someone brought her three meals a day, she still needed to take a bath, go to the toilet, and change clothes.

If she can't do anything about these things, who will help her?

The imperial physician immediately denied it.

"No, if you force yourself to move, your injuries will become more serious, which will be detrimental to recovery and may even leave sequelae."

When Fu Ran heard about the sequelae, he behaved himself.

She was afraid that after her leg healed she would become a cripple.
