Marry a Duke

Chapter 311: Digging Up the Past

A month later, Prince Wu and Yuchi Mingxiu met at Yueyang Lake. They camped together outside Yueyang Lake, with Yuchi Mingxiu in charge of the siege.

The news will be transmitted back to the capital in a few days.

Fu Ran was worried that Shen Fengan was too worried about Yuchi Mingxiu, so during this period, she would go to Chen Yuanhou Mansion to accompany Shen Fengan whenever she had time.

Taking Wuyou with him, Wuyou loves to go everywhere. The little girl laughs when she is in a good mood. Shen Fengan is indeed in a good mood when he sees the mother and daughter.

She was very worried about her son's condition.

But she had already made preparations.

Ming Xiu will inherit the title of Chen Hou Mansion sooner or later, and will have to face many variables in the future. This is a necessary path for him.

The battle of Yueyang Pool might be difficult, but he has his father and Wei Xuan at the back to give advice, and she also believes that her son is a capable person.

The Yuchi Army was brought up by several generations of Chenyuan Marquis Mansion, so it was not a big problem for Mingxiu to deploy the troops.

However, she didn't say it explicitly.

She was very touched by Fu Ran's kindness.

She wished Fu Ran would bring Wuyou to accompany her every day.

It also prevents her from getting bored.

On this day, Fu Ran came a little late. Wuyou couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he tossed and turned for a while and got up late in the morning.

After they got up, they went to Qingfuyuan to accompany the old lady for a while, and then came to Chenyuanhou Mansion.

When I came, I saw Yuchi Xinxin.

Yuchi Xinxin hasn't been here for a long time.

Although her clothes were still gorgeous and her makeup was exquisite, she did not look very happy.

She hasn't been having a good time these days.

She had no shortage of food and drink in the Shen family, but unfortunately, her methods were not very bright from the beginning, so she could not expect Shen Yanyan to treat her well.

Now she can only make sure she eats well, dresses well, at least on the surface.

She even contacted the ladies in the capital for various reasons. Some of them looked down on her and would not associate with her, but some of them were willing to associate with her because she was Shen Yan's wife.

She is quite busy, attending this banquet today and that banquet tomorrow.

Shen Yan didn't care about her. As long as she didn't ruin the Shen family's reputation, he would treat her as if she didn't exist.

In contrast, Fu Ran rarely participated in the banquet.

She hadn't been here for a long time and came to visit Shen Fengan with some things.

She had heard a long time ago that Yuchi Mingxiu led his men to attack Yueyang Lake, and if he returned from the battle, he would definitely be rewarded.

She never wanted to take the initiative to sever her ties with the Yuchi family.

"Mom, you can't keep blaming me. I was just scared. I was afraid that you wouldn't want me, so I did those stupid things. Xinxin really knows she was wrong and she won't dare to do it again. Mom, please forgive me."

There were tears on Yuchi Xinxin's face.

Every time she came, Shen Fengan was never in a good mood towards her.

Every time she saw her, she realized how failed the Yuchi family's education was over the years. How could they raise a girl like this? How could they use such despicable means?

"Don't cry. People who don't know the truth might think that I did something to you. Our fate is shallow. You ignored you because you were worried that we would find our daughter. That's true..." Shen Fengan sneered.

"We found our own daughter, so of course our own daughter is the best."

Fu Ran is good in every way.

Anywhere is good.

Yuchi Xinxin's face was distorted with anger. She lowered her head and did not dare to raise it for fear that Shen Fengan would see it.

Of course Fu Ran is good, she gets everything that others desire.

Now, her husband is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.

Everyone in the court, from top to bottom, follows the lead of the Duke of Wei.

Who is Shen Yan? He has no status in the court.

Until now, even the position of Duke Shen has been inherited.

When Shen Yan married Wei Lin, he had already gone to the court to request to inherit the title of Duke Shen. However, due to some other reasons, the imperial edict was not issued for a long time.

Now, he and Wei Lin are divorced.

I originally thought that the old lady would submit another memorial and the imperial decree to inherit the title would come down soon, but, instead, the incident of the eldest princess happened again.

Now the emperor doesn't even have much time left, so it's impossible for him to take care of these things.

If you want to bring up the issue of succession to the title again, you'll probably have to wait until the new emperor takes the throne.

Now no one knows who will be qualified to be the new emperor.

If the little prince ascends the throne, Wei Xuan will be behind him.

Shen Yan was originally his brother-in-law. He divorced his sister and married another woman. He was afraid that Wei Xuan would definitely interfere and would not let Shen Yan inherit the title smoothly.

The Duke of Shen's Mansion no longer has much influence, and Shen Yan is not one of the most powerful figures in the court.

Yuchi Xinxin feels a little regretful now.

She shouldn't have been so anxious in the first place and should have thought longer term.

"Mom——." Yuchi Xinxin sat on the ground and cried because of Shen Fengan's words.

Shen Fengan became irritated by the crying.

"Alright, you didn't come to Chen Yuanhou's mansion to cry in front of me, did you? I'm weak and can't stand this treatment. You should go back to the Shen family and cry to Shen Yan, never to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is easy to talk to, but it doesn't mean she will always be easy to talk to."

Shen Fengan was furious because she was scheming and even played tricks on her own family.

She just raised an ungrateful person.

"I really didn't. I just missed mom so much. Mom, please let me stay at home with you for a few days."

"Please don't do that. You're already married, so there's absolutely no reason for you to live in our house again. Xinxin, when you were scheming, you should have known that when you gain something, you lose something. You were planning to give up our family relationship, so it's impossible to pick it up again."

Shen Fengan said coldly.

Yuchi Xinxin wiped away her tears.

"Mom, you are so cruel. Why am I being so cautious? What did I do wrong?"

She revealed her true nature.

There was no point in pretending to be good, so she stopped pretending.

"I am the adopted daughter of the Yuchi family, but I didn't shamelessly rely on the Yuchi family in the beginning. It was you who were willing to raise me. I was so young, what choice did I have? Am I wrong?"

"You are right. That's why, for so many years, the Yuchi family has held you in the palm of their hands, thinking of you in every way, and never letting you suffer. This is what the Yuchi family chose to pay for."

"But you changed after you found Fu Ran. She was the only one in your eyes. You couldn't see me. If I don't think about myself, are you really waiting for you to abandon me?"

"You think too much, too deeply, and think too cruelly of the Yuchi family." The more Shen Feng'an spoke, the calmer he felt.

I have already made it clear.

No need to be hypocritical.

"I didn't..." Yuchi Xinxin wanted to refute, "I was also forced to do so. I just wanted to find a place to stay. You only have Fu Ran in your eyes and hearts, not me. What can I do?"

"When did the Yuchi family ever say there was no place for you? It was all your own idea. Now that you have done it, there is no need to say more. You don't need to come here anymore."
