Marry a Duke

Chapter 41 Yes, I will change it now

The news I got from Cheng Jiang.

After the youngest child of the rich family was sold, the other three were also moved to other places and imprisoned.

Cheng Jiang has not yet found out where the new place is where they are being held.

After all, he was just a small guard in the Queen's palace, not a close confidant of the Queen or the Duke of England.

It was somewhat difficult for him to do this.

Fu Ran also asked Qi Ya's father to send some silver.

The worries in her heart directly affected Fu Ran's appetite. She had no appetite for dinner today and only ate a small bowl of porridge.

Her belly is not very big now, so if she wears looser clothes, it can be hidden a little bit.

So, she asked Qiya and Yudi to find some loose clothes.

The two of them were very responsible and brought a pile of clothes for her to choose.

She tried on several outfits and settled on a plain, dark-colored, ordinary dress.

There is no logo of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion on it, and it is not a uniform distributed to maids.

"Madam, are you really going to leave the house?" Yudi was very worried.

The old lady and the Duke do not allow Madam to leave the house.

Madam imagined the last time she climbed the dog hole with Qiya.

But last time was last time. This time is not appropriate. My wife is pregnant. If something goes wrong -

I couldn't even imagine the raindrops.

Qiya has a simple idea and doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it.

If Fu Ran wants to go out, then just go out.

"I'm just going to go out for a while to do something small. Nothing will happen, so don't worry." Fu Ran comforted them.

If she stepped out of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion openly, she would also go to the *** Mansion openly.

But she couldn't go out through the main door now, so all she could do was to find Cheng Jiang or look for other opportunities.

When Wei Xuan arrived, he saw Fu Ran wearing a plain, dull dress. From the back, it was not easy to tell it was her.

"Ah, the Duke." Yudi was startled when he saw the person.

There was no sound when the Duke came in.

Qi Ya silently stood in front of Fu Ran.

Fu Ran is out of favor. The old lady doesn't like Fu Ran, and the Duke doesn't like Fu Ran either.

I'm not here to cause trouble for Fu Ran.

Fu Ran gently pushed Qi Ya away, still feeling very touched.

But here, no one can stop Wei Xuan.

"You two go down first." She didn't want to implicate innocent people.

Qiya was still hesitating. Yudi followed the instructions and pulled Qiya away first.

Bi'an stayed in the yard and did not go into the house.

"We didn't know the Duke would be coming. The maids were all waiting in the house. It was really rude of us to not be able to greet the Duke outside." Fu Ran said politely.

The clothes she wore were indeed not very nice-looking, but this did not hinder her fair face and clear eyes.

Wei Xuan's gaze moved from her to the pile of clothes beside her.

It can be seen that they are all coarse cloth clothes.

"Is the Duke's Mansion lacking food and clothing for you?" He frowned. The Duke's Mansion has always been managed by his mother. There are only a few masters in the mansion. The expenses are high, but the income is also not small.

As far as he knew, the servants in the mansion had eight sets of clothes to change every year.

Two sets per season, all year round.

Fu Ran knew he had misunderstood.

"No, no, the Duke's Mansion doesn't need me to wear clothes. I just have nothing to do, so I asked them to take out all the clothes in the room and try them on one by one to kill time."

She found an excuse without blushing or breathing heavily.

It's normal for a girl to have this hobby.

"Really?" Wei Xuan curled his lips, "I thought you changed your clothes and were going to sneak out of the house like last time."

Fu Ran's face froze.

He guessed pretty well.

"My Lord, you are joking. Fu Ran doesn't dare to do that."

Wei Xuan motioned for her to sit down, and he also sat down on a chair not far away.

Fu Ran had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed.

It seemed that he had something to say to her and would not leave for a while.

"I heard that you asked the old lady to go to the *** Mansion."

Sure enough, nothing that happened in the mansion could be hidden from him.

Fu Ran nodded.

"Yes, the Duke also knows that the remaining people of my Fu family are in the hands of ***. In the past two days, *** took the initiative to sell the youngest child of the Fu family, and his whereabouts are unknown."

There was worry in her eyes.

It was all because of her. She wanted to be cruel and ignore the rich family, but that went against the original owner's wishes.

The original owner's kindness would not allow her to turn a blind eye.

This body has its own reactions. When she heard that her youngest child was sold, she didn't know what kind of situation the child would end up in, and she felt sad.

"After my brother married my sister-in-law, she got pregnant soon after. At that time, the family had a lot of expenses. I was young and could barely help with some chores. Later, when our first child was born, the family expenses became even higher."

"My sister-in-law suggested that I also go and make money, selling myself into a slave in a brothel, that would be the quickest way to make money."

She laughed at herself, thinking that it was not uncommon for poor families to sell their children.

It was her brother and sister-in-law who sold her.

There are many precedents of biological parents selling their children.

"Those two kids are not familiar with me, nor are they close to me, but we share the same blood."

She touched her belly gently.

"If the baby in my belly can be born safely, then they will be cousins, more or less blood relatives."

She looked at him with her bright eyes.

She was begging him for mercy.

"My Lord, as long as you are willing to rescue my brother and his wife, I will not complain no matter what you ask me to do in the future."

It is not easy for her to leave the house right now, so she can only rely on him.

Wei Xuan lowered his eyes, stared at her belly for a while, then slowly looked away.

"Don't worry. In three days, the Prince Qi's Mansion will hold an engagement banquet. You can go with me."

Engagement banquet at Prince Qi’s mansion?

"Who is engaged to whom?" She had a vague feeling that it was Ruhui.

"Princess Ruhui is engaged to the prince of Qi Palace."

The Prince of Qi and Princess Ruhui are cousins, and the Prince of Qi's Mansion and Princess Ruhui are cousins, which is considered a close relationship.

Fu Ran looked a little strange.

I'm afraid that the Prince of Qi's Mansion doesn't know that Princess Ruhui drugged him in the first place and is no longer innocent.

***This is a marriage between the Qi Palace and the strong.

Fu Ran came back to her senses and found that Wei Xuan had been staring at her.

She stiffened.

I don’t know if my expression just now revealed too much emotion.

"This is a good match." She tried to soften her expression and smiled more sincerely, "Thank you, Duke, for taking me out to broaden my horizons."

She immediately saluted.

She also wanted to go and see the engagement party of Princess Ruhui and the Prince of Qi.

Didn’t Princess Ruhui refuse to marry anyone before?

The only one she likes is Wei Xuan.

In fact, the Prince of Qi's Palace had already fallen into decline. It was just a title and a palace, but the Prince of Qi had no real power.

"Change this clothes." Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes and stood up.

He has a tall and straight figure, and when he stands up, he looks very handsome.

Fu Ran agreed immediately.

"Yes, I'll change it right away."
