Marry a Duke

Chapter 306: Tyranny

Fu Ran’s Sanheji has not officially opened yet.

Such a big thing happened in the palace, and now the situation in the world may change drastically.

She didn't want to open several shops at this juncture.

Right now, she just stayed at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion with peace of mind, as she knew Wei Xuan had a heavy responsibility.

He couldn't truly relax until the next king was confirmed.

The emperor entrusted him with an important task.

It’s because the emperor’s health is really failing.

He could only hold on by relying on Akaashi powder.

The three princes came from different places and were not close to the emperor.

Because they were far away, they were not implicated in the fight for the throne.

Even because they were far away and did not have much real power, the Prince's Mansion always allowed them to attack.

This was the grace from heaven when Emperor Tianyuan ascended the throne.

Fu Ran came out with Wei Lin to drink tea today.

He has been behaving himself in the mansion for several months and has just come out for a trip. He has been behaving very well.

They called Qingyin, but Qingyin didn't want to come out, so they didn't force her.

"The mung bean cakes in this teahouse are very good. Bring some back when you go back." Wei Lin asked the waiter to pack two portions, one for her sister-in-law and one for her mother.

Fu Ran added two more portions and sent them to Chen Yuanhou's mansion to his parents later.

"I haven't visited my mother for a while. I'll go to Chen Yuanhou Mansion later." Fu Ran took a sip of tea and said.

After thinking about it, I added another one.

"Who is this for?"

"Let your second brother have a taste too."

Wei Lin suddenly realized, "Second brother is so lucky. Whenever he eats something delicious outside, he always thinks of him. How could he, a grown man, like to eat these snacks?"

"You'll know if you like it after you try it. The mung bean cake here is not at all sweet and the taste is just right. Even if he doesn't like it, it's an extra flavor."

"That's right, second brother is in luck."

The two of them ate and chatted. Qiao'er and the others were sitting at the next table.

The street downstairs was originally quiet, but today it seems particularly lively.

Qiao'er listened to the sound and leaned against the window to watch for a while.

"The Prince of Yan, who seemed to have arrived in Beijing not long ago, brought two followers with him. The two followers were quite arrogant. They thought that the peddler was carrying goods and just bumped into his followers by accident, but they made a big fuss."

Qiao'er said as she looked at it.

Wei Lin also became interested after hearing this. He stopped drinking tea and eating snacks, and continued to watch while leaning against Qiao'er.

Sure enough, the master and his servants were bullying a peddler.

One of the Prince of Yan's followers smashed all the peddler's goods.

The peddler made a living by selling these goods. He was hit hard and had no chance to resist. He cried loudly in the street.

He had already apologized, but the follower still refused to give in.

"This is killing me--." The peddler begged for mercy, but the peddler refused to let him go. Even though his goods were destroyed, they still had no intention of letting him go.

He is just a person of the lowest class, and his life is already difficult.

"That's enough," Prince Yan said at this time, "stop making trouble."

Prince Yan's tone was lazy and he didn't really want to intervene.

He walked forward alone.

Another follower followed closely behind.

The follower who smashed the man's things cursed the peddler a few more times, saying that he was short-sighted and deserved to be poor all his life.

No matter how hard the peddler cried, it was of no avail.

There was a kind person watching the show on the side who helped pick up the things scattered on the ground one by one.

Fu Ran also saw it and had doubts about the character of Prince Yan.

Fu Ran asked Qian Wu to take ten taels of silver to give to the peddler.

He does it to make a living. Maybe there are old and young people at home who are waiting for the money he earns outside to come home for food.

Not only did I not sell anything today, but a lot of things were also smashed.

For ordinary people, it is really a hurdle that is not easy to overcome.

Qian Wu took the silver.

He said that the lady was kind-hearted.

So he went down and helped the peddler pack up the goods and secretly put the silver into the peddler's hand.

The peddler was stunned and took a look at the yellow and white thing in his hand.

"This, this - I can't do that. I can't have it."

"Please accept it. My wife couldn't bear to see you suffer so she is out of kindness. If you accept it, my wife's kindness will be fulfilled." Qian Wudao.

The peddler looked in the direction Qian Wu pointed and expressed his gratitude profusely.

"Madam is really a good person. I will go and thank you."

"No need. Madam is not someone who values ​​reputation. She truly feels that you have had a hard time. Keep it and go home quickly. Today's incident is over."

"Okay, okay, I'll go back." The peddler nodded and looked back as he walked. Only when he could no longer see Qian Wu did he hurried home.

Fu Ran went to Chen Yuanhou Mansion carrying mung bean cake.

Wei Lin didn't want to go with her this time.

Otherwise, I’d be unlucky enough to meet Shen Yan again.

What she hated most now was seeing Shen Yan and Yuchi Xinxin. Even if they were not living well, she didn't want her mood to be affected in any way.

Fu Ran and Wei Lin then separated and Wei Lin returned to the Duke's Mansion first.

Fu Ran was accompanied by Qian Wu and Qiao'er to the Chenyuanhou Mansion.

Chenyuan Hou Yuchi Sui was not in the palace.

Only Shen Fengan was fiddling with the flowers and plants.

When she was in Xuzhou, there were many people in her family and a lot of things to do. Even if she did nothing, someone would come to talk to her or invite her to a banquet.

She was always busy too.

Coming to the capital, it is relatively quiet.

She politely declined unnecessary invitations to banquets, and would go to those that she had to attend, but not often.

The population of the mansion is simple.

Occasionally, I meet with my sister-in-law and chat with her.

Most of the time, she still thinks about her daughter.

"Madam, the young lady is back." Shen Feng'an was very happy when the maid came to report.

"What a heartless girl! I haven't seen her for so long. I thought she had forgotten about me, her mother." Shen Feng'an took the wet towel handed to him by the maid and wiped his hands.

Fu Ran has come over.

"Mom, you are taking care of the flower garden again. These flowers are blooming so beautifully. Why can't I take care of them?" Fu Ran looked at the various flowers that came into view. They were indeed beautiful.

A small pond was dug nearby, with several fish in it.

It is really fun to enjoy the flowers, fish and tea at the same time.

"Whichever one you like, just move it back to the Duke's Mansion. If you want to grow other ones, mother can help you grow them. Why do you have to do it yourself? You have to take care of the Duke's Mansion and Wei Xuan and Wuyou on weekdays. You don't have time to take care of these things."

Shen Fengan held his daughter's hand affectionately.

"You haven't been home for a while. I was just about to talk to your father and ask him to accompany me to the Duke's Mansion to see you and Wuyou. I miss Wuyou so much."

I don’t know if Wuyou misses her.

Fu Ran could see the expectation in her eyes.

"Mom, Wuyou is thinking about you too. I will bring Wuyou here to accompany you in a few days." Fu Ran said.

Shen Fengan happily agreed.

When she learned that Fu Ran came to bring her mung bean cake, her heart softened and her eyes turned slightly red.

"Daughters are good. They always think of their mothers."
