Marry a Duke

Chapter 63: Settlement of Accounts after Autumn

Fu Ran did not show off everywhere. Her original intention was not to show off everywhere.

She went out with two guards arranged by Wei Xuan and Yu Di.

She bought some common items from small vendors walking along the street and noted the locations of an escort agency, a horse and carriage company, and a silver shop.

I also visited two affordable clothing shops, which sold all kinds of clothes and shoes.

She wanted to take this opportunity to get as familiar with everything in the capital as possible.

After doing all this, she took Yu Di to a teahouse to listen to storytelling.

We ordered some tea and snacks and were able to sit there for the entire afternoon.

The storyteller talked about all sorts of things, and she listened with great interest.

It was before sunset that she returned to the Duke of Wei's Mansion with raindrops.

She did not eat out for dinner. She had drunk a lot of tea and had some snacks in the afternoon, so she was not really hungry.

She was not that stingy. Although she did not have much money, she still ordered tea, snacks and some food for the two guards.

If you are hungry at night, there is still some food in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

The carriage moved slowly, and Fu Ran thought that he would make another trip tomorrow and go in another direction.

The capital city is very big, and I am afraid I won’t be able to see everything in just a few days.

The carriage travelled one block before being stopped.

"The person in the car is the wife of the Duke of Wei." The visitor was quite polite and did not show off his weapon right away.

But whoever was able to stop their carriage must have been watching them for a while along the way.

Two guards stopped in front of the car.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the *** Mansion. *** has been missing the wife of the Duke of Weiguo very much recently. She hopes that the wife of the Duke of Weiguo can come back to the *** Mansion to see her, so she ordered us to come and welcome the wife of the Duke of Weiguo."

The other party revealed his identity.

The two guards are considered to be of above-average martial arts skills in the mansion, but they do not actually have any decision-making power.

Normally, they do whatever their superiors tell them to do.

When leaving the house today, the Duke has instructed them to protect the lady and return home safely.

"It's getting late. It would be inconvenient for Madam to go to the mansion now. Let's do it another day." One of the guards said.

But the other party did not move away.

"We dare not disobey the orders of the *** easily. Please ask Madam Weiguo to accompany us."

The other party's tone was firm.

Fu Ran lifted the car curtain and looked at the people coming. There were not many of them, only four in total, and they were obviously martial artists.

But judging from his body shape, he is not a secret guard, but a visible guard of the *** Palace.

"Please go back and report to ***. Tomorrow morning, I will go to ***'s house to pay my respects to her." Fu Ran spoke calmly and his expression was harmonious.

"But *** ask Madam Weiguo to go there today."

"It's getting late today, and my Duke is still waiting in the mansion. If I don't come back soon, I'm afraid he will come to my mansion, and then it will disturb me."

Although the words were said calmly, the implication was to warn the other party that if she went there at this time, Wei Xuan would definitely find her mansion.

I believe that today's *** may not be happy to see Wei Xuan.

The other party hesitated.

As if he had made up his mind.

"Since Madam Weiguo has said so, I will immediately return to the *** residence to report to you. Madam Weiguo must keep her promise."

The other party spoke the last few words in a particularly strong tone.

It was a strong warning. If Fu Ran dared to say it but not do it, they would not be so easy to talk to tomorrow.

Fu Ran agreed calmly.

He retreated back into the car and asked the guards to continue driving.

Yu Di was terrified as he listened to this. It was the ***'s men who came and almost took Fu Ran away.

Fu Ran almost died.

This time, *** sent someone to find Fu Ran again. Even if Fu Ran could get away with it this time, what about next time?

Are you really going to *** Mansion tomorrow?

Isn’t that a dangerous place?

"Madam, how can you agree to them? What if the Duke doesn't allow us to leave the house tomorrow? Even if the Duke agrees to let us leave the house, the people sent by *** almost killed you before." Yu Di was so anxious that he was turning around.

Fu Ran patted her hands to calm her down.

"Don't be afraid. *** has already tried once. That time, she didn't bring me back. If she tries again, it will obviously not be in line with her good character."

*** is known to be gentle, dignified, generous, unparalleled in wisdom, good at strategy, and understands people's hearts.

She is good at manipulating people's hearts, but in recent years, as she gets older, she has become more and more impatient. For some things, she wants immediate results.

Last time, she sent secret guards to sneak into the Duke of Wei's Mansion. It would have been fine if she had taken Fu Ran to the Duke's Mansion in one fell swoop. However, even if Wei Xuan had objections, she would not dare to act rashly for the sake of the fetus in Fu Ran's belly.

But the fact is not so, the secret guard failed.

Not only did they fail to capture Fu Ran, but they also lost a secret guard, which alarmed Wei Xuan.

With Wei Xuan's personality, there was no way he would miss such a good opportunity.

Maybe the two of them are competing with each other secretly again.

"But what is a character? Is it important?" Yudi didn't understand.

"It's important. It's the most basic thing to maintain a person's image. *** is particularly concerned about it. She is a high and mighty ***, and no one can bring her down from the altar."

Yudi still didn't understand, but after hearing what the lady said, perhaps the lady did understand.

When I returned home, it was already dark.

If the people from the *** government hadn't stopped the car, they could have gotten back before dark.

In this case, it is indeed a little late.

I heard from the doorman that the Duke has returned and will be having dinner with the old lady at Qingfuyuan.

Fu Ran had no interest in going to Qingfuyuan to eat paitou.

After entering the mansion, he asked the two guards to leave.

She brought Yudi back to Chaoguangyuan. Xiao Ningzi was there, but she said nothing.

Yudi went to the kitchen and asked someone to bring some water so that Fu Ran could sober up from the smell on his body.

There is no arrangement for elegant seating in the teahouse today.

It cost more to sit in a private room, so she sat in the lobby and listened, surrounded by all kinds of people.

Some women had perfume on their bodies, some men smelled of alcohol, and even worse, some had body odor.

If it weren't for the storyteller, who spoke so enthusiastically, Fu Ran wouldn't have been able to hold out for that long.

I took a nice bath, washing myself from head to toe, and I felt very clean. There was juice made from flowers in the water, which had a light floral fragrance that was very intoxicating.

"Madam, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and see if there's anything to eat. I'll bring some over to you." Yudi said.

Fu Ran nodded.

"Okay, take more and we can eat together."

Yudi agreed, and the lady never put on airs in front of her.

If there is anything delicious, I will share it with them.

The one who got the most before was Qiya, because Qiya had a big appetite and was not picky about food. Now that Qiya is not in the house, the lady is thinking about her in everything.

Yudi went to the kitchen, found a familiar kitchen, and brought a large bowl of noodles and a few side dishes.

There was a large bowl of braised rabbit meat left tonight, but Yudi only asked for a small bowl.

When I arrived at Chaoguangyuan with the food box, I found that the Duke was sitting in front of my wife.

Yudi's heart was shocked, and her little hands trembled, and she almost couldn't hold the food box in her hands.

The Duke is here to settle the score.
