Marry a Duke

Chapter 111 Return the wish

Wei Xuan has never been a gentle and polite person. Even when he was young, he was full of vigor and had an arrogant attitude.

At the age of fifteen, he followed his father and brother into the military camp for training. Over the years, he had been good at both civil work and military skill in taking down cities. After his father and brother passed away, he took over the banner and defeated Daliang.

Now he is able to keep calm.

People often mistakenly believe that he is a gentle person.

"You are so disgusted that you don't even try to hide it." Wei Xuan sat beside the small bed and looked at Wuyou's little face with a gentle gaze, "Fu Ran, you probably forgot who you are."

Fu Ran paused slightly.

"Identity? What identity? Is it the identity of the wife of Duke Weiguo? Or the identity of the adopted daughter of ***?" No matter which identity it was, he didn't like it very much.

She asked him to go back because she was thinking about his own good, but how could he not appreciate it at all?

"My lord--"

Wei Xuan glanced over indifferently.

Fu Ran paused, remembering what Madam Wei had said not long ago, that she should not call him Duke anymore, as it seemed strange, and should call him by his courtesy name.

"Xiu, Xiu Ning——"

Only then did Wei Xuan look away.

"You want to spend more time with Wuyou. I totally agree. Wuyou is your child too. You can let her stay in your room overnight and have a nurse serve her."

"I don't like too many people around me disturbing my peace. When the nanny comes into my room, is she with Wuyou or with me? How can outsiders tell?" His black eyes were shining.

Fu Ran knew that there were a bunch of gossipers outside who believed everything they heard. If that was true, and Wei Xuan was in the same room with the wet nurse, they would definitely think that Wei Xuan had taken the wet nurse in.

When Fu Ran thought of this possibility, he looked a little dazed, which was very cute.

"It's not appropriate. Xiu Ning's reputation cannot be ruined. But if Wuyou and I accompany you, won't it also disturb your peace?"

"I can adapt slowly. After all, you are my wife and daughter, and it's only legitimate." Wei Xuan insisted on moving in, and Fu Ran couldn't drive him away.

She is not good at either literature or martial arts, and this is his Duke's Mansion.

I had no choice but to accept the possibility that he would still have to rest here tonight.

Wei Xuan hasn't had time to take a bath tonight. He has been with Wuyou since dinner. Now he has to rest in her room, so he has to take a bath in her room.

Xiao Ningzi asked someone to bring more water, and also sent Wei Xuan's pajamas and the clothes he would wear tomorrow morning.

Wei Xuan took a bath in the bathroom in her room.

Wuyou was sleeping soundly. Fu Ran felt complicated. She wrung out her hair and carried her daughter to bed. Little Wuyou was sleeping in the middle. She was so small that Fu Ran felt weak in her heart just by looking at her.

A moment later, Wei Xuan came over and turned off all the lights except one.

Fu Ran knew that he came over and lay down on the outside of the bed. She pretended to be asleep and ignored him.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan had no plans to do anything with her. Perhaps he just simply wanted to stay with Wuyou.

She breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

The body is no longer so tense.

Wuyou woke up once during the night, was fed, had his diaper changed, and then slept until dawn.

They still had breakfast at Qingfu Hall. Today they were going to fulfill a vow, so Lan Yin brought Wei Nian to Qingfu Hall early in the morning.

When Wei Nian saw Wuyou clinging to him in a loving way, his repeated calls of "sister" warmed his heart.

Lan Yin was a little embarrassed. Her daughter was too enthusiastic and she didn't know whether Wei Xuan and Fu Ran liked it or not.

Even if they didn't like it, they wouldn't say it to her face.

But she couldn't persuade her daughter.

"Nian'er, do you want to hug your sister?"

"I do." Wei Nian blinked his bright eyes and nodded vigorously.

Lan Yin was shocked when she heard this.

Before, when Wuyou was lying on the bed, my daughter only went up to him, hugged him, and shook his hand, but she didn't dare to really hold him up.

"Furan, Nian'er is not strong enough, I'm afraid Wuyou will fall." Lan Yin said anxiously.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. Nian'er is still young, but she is very strong. She can hold Wuyou." Fu Ran watched from the side and let Wei Nian hold Wuyou. He would definitely not let Wuyou fall.

"But..." Lan Yin's cautious look made Madam Wei feel helpless. She advised, "Lan Yin, just let Nian'er hug her sister. She likes Wuyou so much. If she can hug her, she will be even happier. You don't have to worry too much. There are so many people around, they won't let her drop her sister."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had already spoken, Lan Yin didn't know what to say.

Wei Nian was naturally happy and stretched out his little hands waiting to hug his sister.

Fu Ran gently placed Wuyou in Wei Nian's hands and adjusted the position bit by bit. The baby, who had just come out of confinement, was still soft, fragrant, and not heavy.

Wei Nian was able to hold the baby, but the position was not very good.

Fu Ran took Wuyou back from Wei Nian and praised Wei Nian.

"Nian'er is really amazing. He can hug his sister now."

Wei Nian giggled, ran to Lan Yin, and told her mother in a particularly loud voice: "Mom, my sister smells so good and sweet."

Lan Yin's expression froze again.

What a description.

"Yes, Wuyou is so fragrant and sweet that people can't help but want to kiss it." Fu Ran lowered his head and kissed his daughter's little hand. It is better not to kiss her on the face because the child is still too young.

So as not to hurt her.

Her movements were casual, which made Wei Xuan envious.

He also wanted to be as carefree as she was.

But he couldn't do it as casually and naturally as she did.

The family prepared three carriages.

Because Wuyou was with them this time, Madam Wei and Lan Yin's mother and daughter rode in the same carriage, while Wei Xuan and Fu Ran's mother and daughter rode in the same carriage. The carriage drove out of the city at a slow speed, but rather slowly.

Their car is free to drive.

Gao Mian was indeed much more reliable. He didn't talk much but was dependable in his work. Unlike Lin Bian, he never stopped talking. Fu Ran felt that he had less to worry about.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Wei Xuan took Wuyou from Fu Ran's arms.

The wet nurse and Qiao'er also followed along. They were in the third car, and would stop the car to feed Wuyou at any time if she needed any.

Fu Ran looked at Wei Xuan with a complicated expression. When he looked at Wuyou, his eyes were full of tenderness and warmth.

She looked for a while and then turned her gaze outside the car curtain.

The carriage left the city and did not head towards the Huguo Temple, but went to another place, a few miles farther away from the Huguo Temple.

The carriage moved slowly, so they would be lucky if they could arrive before noon.

The Hua'en Temple we went to worships Guanyin and Yue Lao, the deities for seeking children. No matter high-ranking officials or ordinary people, everyone can go there to pray, so the incense there is very prosperous.

The Wei family had already sent two people to Hua'en Temple in advance to reserve a meditation room, and arrangements had also been made for the villa. They were afraid that they would not be able to make it back to the city in time tonight, so they would stay in the villa for one night and return to the city tomorrow.

Fu Ran had no objection. He took the wet nurse and Wuyou's belongings with him. Su Yu was also sitting in the third carriage.

Everything is available, so she can accept living in another courtyard.

There were children on the bus, so they walked slowly. By the time they arrived at Huaen Temple, it was already afternoon.
