Marry a Duke

Chapter 157 Scary to Death

Old Madam Wei did not stay to listen to their conversation, but let them talk in the courtyard of Qingfuyuan. There were maids coming and going around, so it was a way to avoid suspicion.

Yuchi Mingxiu told Fu Ran everything about the Yuchi family in Xuzhou.

The Yuchi family is one of the wealthiest families in Xuzhou. The Yuchi ancestors had made great contributions and were granted the title of marquis. This generation of Yuchi Sui directly inherited the title and became the new marquis.

Now, Yuchi Mingxiu is also the young marquis of Chenyuan Marquis Mansion.

But he was a straightforward person and never used his status as a young marquis to bully others.

"Huanhuan, I heard about how much you've suffered over the years. Don't worry, when you return home, all your previous losses will be compensated to you." Yuchi Mingxiu said frankly.

He never thought that Fu Ran was already married.

Even if they recognized each other, she would not be able to stay in her parents' home for long.

"Dad and Mom talk about you from time to time. After you disappeared, our family brought back a foster sister and named her Yuchi Xin. She is about your age. Whenever Dad and Mom see her, they sigh that if you were still alive, you would be her age and it would be time to start discussing marriage."

Unfortunately, the first time all I got was disappointment and guilt.

Beyond that, there's nothing they can do.

Because their daughter died more than ten years ago.

Yuchi Xin——

This was the first time that Fu Ran had heard this name carefully. She had heard before that the Yuchi family later adopted a daughter and placed all their guilt towards their biological daughter on the adopted daughter.

I have to say, if she were the person involved, she would still care more or less.

How can something that belongs to Yuchi Huan be compensated by another person?

That would only make me feel more guilty towards Yuchi Huan.

"Thanks to her, she has been with your parents for so many years, so that they don't have to miss your missing sister all the time." Fu Ran said.

Yuchi Mingxiu raised his eyebrows, disagreeing with her statement.

"Huanhuan, why do you still say that? They are also your parents. They will receive the letter and come to the capital to meet you soon."

Fu Ran didn't argue with him about this.

It’s a bit early to call them father and mother before you really know each other.

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."

Yuchi Mingxiu also talked about the customs and culture of Xuzhou, which were quite different from those of the capital. After all, Xuzhou was quite far away from the capital.

Precisely because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, even the air there is much freer.

"Huanhuan——" Yuchi Mingxiu suddenly lowered his voice. Seeing that the maids were quite far away from them, he lowered his voice and said to Fu Ran, "After our parents come, we will be reunited as a family and then take you and Wuyou back to Xuzhou to live for a while."

"If you never want to come back, just stay in Xuzhou. If you don't want to stay in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Dad and Mom will definitely find a way to help you solve it."

Yuchi Mingxiu knew how powerful Wei Xuan was.

But so what.

If we only regard him as a powerful official, he is indeed a remarkable man.

But if he is considered as your brother-in-law, he is not qualified.

Especially since Huanhuan had suffered a lot before.

Yesterday, my cousin's wife let slip that Huanhuan suffered a lot when she first entered the Wei family.

Yuchi Mingxiu also disliked his cousin's wife because Wei Lin trusted Wei.

"You are really my good brother." Fu Ran laughed softly. He really cared about him sincerely. "Brother, you don't have to think too far ahead. Let's take it one step at a time."

Fu Ran's call of "brother" made Yuchi Mingxiu's face brighten.

In the past, Xinxin called him brother, and he always treated Xinxin as his own sister. But Huanhuan was different. She had been missing for so many years and had suffered so much, which made him feel even more distressed.

Perhaps because of their blood relationship, he felt that his sister was good in everything.

Yuchi Mingxiu had not yet accepted his identity, so it was naturally not appropriate for him to stay in the Wei Mansion for too long. He politely declined Madam Wei's invitation to stay for dinner and said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Fu Ran to be prepared.

After two days, invite her out for dinner.

Whether he was in the Wei family or the Shen family, he still felt uncomfortable. He would ask his cousin to arrange a place with a good environment for his sister to come out for a meal and have a good chat.

Fu Ran agreed.

Faced with such an enthusiastic Yuchi Mingxiu, she seemed to have no reason to refuse.

To be honest, after listening to Yuchi Mingxiu's words, she was in a good mood.

What he said hit her heart directly.

If she acknowledged her relatives, went to Xuzhou, settled down in Xuzhou, and then found a reason to divorce Wei Xuan, this would seem to be the best and most peaceful outcome.

There is no need to fall out deliberately. After all, Wei Xuan is Wuyou's father.

She didn't want Wuyou to grow up with the pain of his parents being at odds with each other.

Wei Xuan returned home at night.

As soon as I stepped into the door, I knew that Yuchi Mingxiu was here today.

After learning that they met at Qingfuyuan, he said nothing more.

I hurried back to Chaoguangyuan and changed my clothes.

Today, in addition to the government affairs, Huo Long's people have found Huo Nanfeng's whereabouts, but have not yet successfully rescued him.

Huo Long asked the princess to send more people. Seeing that the news was clear, they could find the person soon.

He couldn't delay any longer and had to find Huo Nanfeng as soon as possible and bring him back to Huzhou immediately.

His people also had many inconveniences in traveling in the capital.

We can't be too ostentatious and we can't gather in large groups. Once we disperse, some things will be difficult to do.

Holon's anger had reached its peak.

If we can’t find Huo Nanfeng, I’m afraid we’ll explode.

Wei Xuan wanted to see how he exploded.

This created a rift between him and the eldest princess.

The nearest thing he has to deal with is the envoys sent by Daliang. The envoys will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. It was he who defeated Daliang in the first place. This time, the emperor ordered him to bring officials from the Ministry of Rites to receive the Daliang envoys.

"Master, Madam has gone to bed." Xiao Ningzi said something when he saw his master changing into pajamas.

If I go there at this time, I'm afraid I'll wake my wife up.

"It's okay." Wei Xuan still went over. There were candles lit in the house. When he entered the house, he saw Fu Ran sitting at the table, reading a book by the light.

She sat upright, her eyes at a suitable distance from the book, reading seriously, and the expression on her face changed depending on the content of the book.

Wei Xuan did not ask anyone to report it.

He went straight in.

He walked over slowly, and Fu Ran didn't even notice him approaching.

He saw clearly that she was holding a book, Travels in Dayue Chishan.

It is a travel book, which shows that her mind is outward-looking.

There was another book in front of her, which contained some romantic affairs of the capital city of Dayue as known by some people in the folk.

Wei Xuan had heard of such a book, which talked about the trivial matters of some officials of the time, and might even include him and the Wei family, but much of the content was false.

"Are these the books you are reading?" he suddenly said, and Fu Ran was startled. Fortunately, he held the books tightly in his hands, otherwise the books would have fallen.

She turned back and glared at him.

I am watching it intently.

"Do you know that it's night time now? If you scare people, they will be scared to death." She said unhappily.
