Marry a Duke

Chapter 207 Caught in the act

There were too many people, and Jin Zhao's carriage could not get too close to the city gate.

Fortunately, the lady was taken away by the Duke, otherwise, Jin Zhao and Qiao'er would be guilty of different crimes.

"Yes, Madam." Qiao'er had already seen Fu Ran searching everywhere.

"Madam must be looking for us. I'll go over first."

"Okay, I'll wait here."

Qiao'er squeezed through the crowd. She was good at martial arts and had no burden on her, so she was able to quickly get through the crowd and come in front of Fu Ran.

"My Lord, Madam."

"Qiao'er, I've been looking for you everywhere." Fu Ran's eyes lit up, "Where are Jin Zhao and the carriage? Take me there quickly. If we don't get to Yuchi's house soon, they will be worried."

"Yes." Qiao'er replied and left with Fu Ran.

Fu Ran didn't look back at Wei Xuan from beginning to end.

Qiao'er also thought that the Duke did not have time to accompany his wife back to her parents' home today.

However, he didn't know that Wei Xuan was standing there, looking at Fu Ran with deep eyes.

As soon as Fu Ran got on the carriage, he asked Jin Zhao to hurry up.

There are too many people here, so we can't go fast.

Jin Zhao took a shortcut and arrived at Yuchi's house, where the banquet had already started.

All the guests had arrived and were waiting for her.

"Sister, you are finally here. I thought you were not coming, and was planning to go to the Wei family to find you." Yuchi Mingxiu had quick eyes and saw Fu Ran at a glance and quickly went to greet her.

"I didn't know that today was the day Princess Lianxing was going to Daliang. I just went to the city gate to see her off. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see her again in the future, so I've been delayed for a while. I'll go tell my parents." Fu Ran explained.

"Okay." Yuchi Mingxiu went in with her.

There were only four tables set up, all in the main room.

Yuchi Sui personally entertained the guests, but due to health reasons, Yuchi Sui did not let Shen Fengan accompany him to entertain the guests. Instead, he sat down and ate with the guests.

Shen Feng'an looked again and again, but he didn't see Fu Ran coming.

She was also a little anxious, but the guests had already arrived, so she didn't want to show it on her face.

Her table was occupied by the Shen family’s relatives, including Shen Yan and Mrs. Shen.

"Fu Ran is here."

Mrs. Shen saw it first and laughed.

Shen Fengan also saw it and stood up immediately: "Huanhuan, why are you so late? Mother thought you were not coming, so she was just about to ask your brother to go check on you."

Fu Ran repeated what he had just explained.

Shen Fengan nodded: "As long as everything is fine."

Next to her, there was a seat reserved for Fu Ran.

Fu Ran sat down and didn't see Yuchi Xinxin at all.

"Mom, where is Xinxin? And my cousin." Shen Yanjin also left the table.

"Xinxin accidentally got some wine on her clothes just now, so she went to change. The same thing happened to Shen Yan. Let him go to Mingxiu's room and change into Mingxiu's clothes."

What a coincidence.

Both of them got their clothes wet and went to change clothes together.

No one else.

She hooked her finger at Yuchi Mingxiu.

Yuchi Mingxiu went over: "What's wrong?"

"Brother, I think there's something wrong. Take two people to see why both of them got their clothes wet at the same time."

"Okay." Yuchi Mingxiu remembered what she had said before and immediately called people to come over and take a look.

Fu Ran didn't rush to get up.

The banquet has already begun and everyone is enjoying the meal, with everyone offering flattering words to each other.

After Shen Fengan finished talking to others, he saw Yuchi Mingxiu leaving.

"Where is your brother going?"

"Go find Xinxin and my cousin. They haven't come for such a long time. I'm afraid they are in trouble."

"What's the trouble?" Shen Feng'an didn't care. "It's just a change of clothes. What's the problem?"

Fu Ran just smiled.

The dishes on the table were prepared in advance, the ingredients were prepared, and the chef cooked them carefully, and they all tasted very delicious.

Fu Ran ate a little.

There was no other sound in the yard, so she guessed that nothing had happened.

But Yuchi Mingxiu never came out.

If nothing happened, why hasn't he come back yet?

While they were eating, the doorman came to report that the Duke of Weiguo had arrived.

Yuchi Sui was also stunned. He had never heard that he would come today.

Fu Ran was also like that. Wasn't he very busy today? Besides, he didn't mention it when she came just now.

It suddenly appeared, what's going on?

Shen Fengan glanced at his daughter.

"What's going on? How did he find time to come here?"

"He must have finished the things on hand and knew that the Yuchi family was holding a banquet. It would be inappropriate for him not to come, so he found time to come." Fu Ran didn't know and just guessed.

Shen Fengan nodded.

That's all I can think of.

Wei Xuan was a male guest, so he sat at the main table, leaving an empty seat for him.

Wei Xuan glanced at Fu Ran.

Fu Ran nodded slightly and continued eating.

There were quite a few people at the table flattering him, and Wei Xuan responded to them one by one, and even toasted everyone with a glass, thinking that he was drinking a penalty drink.

At the banquet, things were quite harmonious.

However, Shen Yan, Yuchi Xinxin, and Yuchi Mingxiu have never come out.

They didn't show up until we sent the guests away.

Mrs. Shen also found it strange.

Shen Yan is not usually like this.

Yuchi Mingxiu heard the noise outside gradually fade away and knew that everyone had left, so he came out with a grim face.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt, something happened."

Fortunately, there was no one else in the house at this time, except Wei Xuan and Mrs. Shen.

They went to Yuchi Mingxiu's room together, only to see two people lying on his bed, with loose clothes and flushed faces.

In Shen Yan's arms, was lying Yuchi Xinxin.

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes with a fierce look in them. After all, Shen Yan was his brother-in-law.

"What's going on?" Madam Shen asked heavily. Shen Feng'an had no idea how to react. "Ming Xiu, tell everyone to leave."

The servants have been dismissed.

Just keep a few of them that are relevant.

The two obviously did not succeed, but their clothes were loosened and they had physical contact again.

Shen Yan is a man, so his reputation is not important to him. But Yuchi Xinxin is an unmarried girl. If the news gets out, her reputation will be ruined and she will never have the chance to marry into a good family.

For a woman, reputation in the boudoir is the most important thing, which is no different from losing her innocence.

"Wake them up." Yuchi Sui said angrily, "How shameful! There are so many people in our house today. If the news gets out, what will people say about us?"

But no matter how we called them, they just wouldn't wake up.

Yuchi Sui asked someone to bring some water, cold water.

A basin of cold water was poured directly on the two of them.

Shen Yan and Yuchi Xinxin both woke up.

The two were stunned for a moment, wondering why so many people suddenly came into the room, but soon they realized what had happened.

Shen Yan's face turned pale.

Yuchi Xinxin started crying.

"What's going on?" Madam Shen said heavily, "Shen Yan, how could you do such a thing."

Shen Yan's face was pale.

There was confusion in his eyes.

"Mom, I really don't know what happened. I went into the room to change clothes, and suddenly, I felt dizzy. I don't know anything about what happened afterwards." She didn't even know why he was in bed with his cousin Xinxin.
