Marry a Duke

Chapter 108 What does this chapter mean?

Wei Xuan came back a little late tonight. Fu Ran took a bath early and coaxed Xiao Wuyou to sleep.

She thought about it carefully. If he wanted to stay overnight tonight, using the same reason as yesterday, she really had no right to refuse.

But she really didn't want to.

"Madam, the Duke is back and will be at Chaoguangyuan soon." Qiao'er came back quickly to report the news.

That's right, she asked Qiao'er to guard the door of the Duke's Mansion and tell her immediately once Wei Xuan returned.

She asked the wet nurse to take Wuyou to the next door.

As long as Wuyou didn't sleep with her, he had no reason to stay overnight.

He couldn't just sleep with the wet nurse for Wuyou's sake.

Thinking of this, Fu Ran felt that tonight was all right.

The nanny carried Wuyou, who was sleeping soundly, to the next room, got into bed and turned off the lights.

When Wei Xuan stepped into Chaoguangyuan, his eyes looked towards Fu Ran's house. Her room was pitch black, without even a light.

He didn't say anything and went back to his room.

Xiao Ningzi has already ordered people to prepare water.

After Wei Xuan washed up, he came out of the bathroom, but he did not step out of the room again.

Before he could ask in detail, Xiao Ningzi had already told Wei Xuan everything that had happened in Chaoguangyuan today.

"Madam has left the young lady in the care of the wet nurse tonight, and she has just gone to bed." Xiao Ningzi certainly knew that the Duke had stayed in Madam's room last night.

He was also very shocked. He had originally thought that from now on, the Duke and his wife would live the life of an ordinary couple.

Unexpectedly, the lady would resort to this trick.

She wanted to reject the Duke.

Xiao Ningzi observed his master's expression very carefully.

"Master came back late today, and Madam might have gone to bed early because she couldn't hold on any longer. I'll ask Qiao'er to tell Madam right away." He was a man, and it was not convenient for him to knock on Madam's door at night.

"No need." Wei Xuan stopped Xiao Ningzi.

Since Wuyou was born, the lights in Fu Ran's house have never been turned off. Even in the middle of the night, the lights are still on. He needs to get up at night to feed and change diapers. When Wuyou is not sleepy, he still needs to coax her for a while.

There was a light on in her room all night last night.

She turned off the light today just to tell him that he didn't need to enter her room again.

She also handed Wuyou over to the wet nurse and sent her next door.

It's not that she has always been reluctant to let Wuyou be too far away from her, she is afraid that Wuyou will not be close to her. If Wuyou is fed by the wet nurse during the day and sleeps with the wet nurse at night, she will only be more familiar with the wet nurse's breath and will not be close to her biological mother.

"You go down first." Wei Xuan said.

Xiao Ningzi wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Gao Mian. Xiao Ningzi retreated to the door and began to mutter, "The lady is a little ignorant."

The Duke was willing to step into her house and spend the night with her, so what else could she be dissatisfied with?

If you have to make such a fuss, isn't this just a slap in the face of the Duke?

"Guard Gao, what do you think the lady is thinking about?"

"It's not your place to know what the lady is thinking." Gao Mian glanced at him and said, "Go back and rest if you have nothing else to do."

After saying that, Gao Mian moved and hid in the darkness.

Xiao Ningzi muttered a few more words and retreated.

Wei Xuan did not step out of his room tonight and slept in his own room.

That night, Fu Ran didn't sleep well. She started dreaming as soon as she closed her eyes. Sometimes she dreamed that Wuyou was looking for her, and sometimes she dreamed that Wuyou didn't want to pay attention to her.

Finally, I dreamed of Wei Xuan’s cold and disgusted eyes.

It scared her awake.

When I woke up, it was daybreak and the servants in the mansion had already gotten up and were cleaning the yard without making any noise.

Fu Ran couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up, changed his clothes, and went next door to bring Wuyou back.

Wuyou was picked up and moved his little body somewhat unhappily.

Fu Ran's movements became gentler, and when he returned to his room, his eyes drifted towards Wei Xuan's room on the other side.

There was no movement from his end last night.

Fu Ran no longer thought about anything else but his daughter in his arms. Wuyou woke up for a while, and Fu Ran held her and sang a song to comfort her.

The songs she sang were a mess. She only remembered the melody, but she didn't remember most of the lyrics, so she just made them up.

Her advantage is that her tone is gentle and soft, which is definitely a magic weapon for coaxing babies.

When Yudi woke up, he was shocked to find that she had gotten up early.

"Ma'am, why are you up so early?"

"Can't sleep."

Yudi opened her mouth, hesitated, and finally spoke after a long while: "The Duke did not come over last night. He went back to his room and slept as soon as he returned to the mansion."

Fu Ran nodded. It was normal for him to take a rest since he came back late.

Besides, her refusal was already clear.

He holds a high position and holds great power, so naturally he will not compromise himself.

She just hoped that after two days, he would get used to it and would never think of entering her room again.

"What are you going to do without resting when you return home?" Fu Ran said casually, "Yu Di, go and bring breakfast over. I got up early and I'm a little hungry."

"Yes." Yudi said nothing else and hurried to the kitchen to serve breakfast.

Before Yudi came back, Xiao Ningzi came over and called "Madam" in the yard.

Fu Ran asked him to come over and talk.

"Madam, the Duke has instructed you to bring the young lady to Qingfuyuan for breakfast." Xiao Ningzi reported.

Fu Ran's hand, which was helping his daughter pull up the quilt, paused slightly.

Wei Xuan made a request and she couldn't refuse.

Besides, the old lady hasn’t seen Wuyou for a few days, so I think Wuyou can understand.

So she agreed.

Let Xiao Ningzi go to the kitchen to inform Yudi that there is no need to send breakfast over.

After a while, she carried Wuyou and followed Wei Xuan to Qingfuyuan.

She also took a closer look at Wei Xuan's expression and found nothing unusual. It was the same as what she had seen before.

Wei Xuan reached out, took Wuyou and held him in his arms.

Wuyou had just fallen asleep, and his little mouth was still sucking non-stop.

Wei Xuan stopped and looked at the little face gently.

Fu Ran stopped in her tracks, almost bumping into him, and she stepped back a little.

When she looked up and saw Wei Xuan's expression, she was shocked. It seemed that Wei Xuan really liked Wuyou.

Her heart sank.

This is how to do?

If Wei Xuan liked Wuyou too much, he would definitely not be willing to let her take Wuyou away.

She also thought about leaving the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion one day and going to a wider world with Wuyou to live a free and easy life.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her face wrinkled.

Wei Xuan turned his head to look at her at this moment.

The way her face was frowning made him purse his lips.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?" he asked suddenly.

Fu Ran was startled for a moment, but not too surprised, because he knew he would definitely ask.

"No, I slept very well last night. I was too sleepy, so I went to bed early. I got up early today and I'm in good spirits. But the Duke came back late last night, so he should rest more."

The second half of the sentence is just a courtesy.

"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. You don't have to come back too late tonight." He said slowly, and his steps were also slow, so as not to walk too fast and startle the little baby in his arms.

Fu Ran was shocked.

What does he mean by this?
