Marry a Duke

Chapter 150 I'm Not Sleepy

The bright moon is an illusion.

Only at this moment, Fu Ran's smile is genuine and sincere.

She held the two gold locks in her hands lovingly. After a moment, Fu Ran finally felt that her behavior might be a little out of line.

She suppressed her joy and put the two gold locks back into the brocade box.

Mingyue is a person who is willing to spend money.

The Shouwang Mansion is only short of people, but never short of money.

The two gold locks together make up a sufficient amount of material.

In remote areas, these two gold locks can be exchanged for a house with a yard or several acres of fertile land.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Princess. You and the Duke of Xian are newly married, and I haven't prepared any gifts yet. It's really rude." She looked embarrassed.

Mingyue waved her hand.

"Why do you need to prepare the gifts? Brother Xuan has already prepared them." Mingyue smiled happily.

When Brother Xuan takes action, that is not an ordinary thing.

Why did Fu Ran's eyes light up when he saw the gold?

Could it be that she never saw these things at all in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion on weekdays?

Mingyue gave him a deep and meaningful look.

Wei Xuanquan pretended not to see it.

but--

Fu Ran's little thoughts were not hidden from others, and everyone could see them clearly.

Old Madam Wei remained silent. Seeing all this, she didn't know what to say. It would be inappropriate to say anything in front of Mingyue.

It's normal that Fu Ran, who came from an obscure background, had never seen good things.

She was only a second-class maid in the *** mansion, and even if she had the chance to receive some rewards, they were nothing more than food, cloth, silver, or first-rate coins of not very good quality.

No matter how valuable the item is, it is not the business of a second-class maid.

After marrying into the Duke of Weiguo's mansion, she didn't get any good results.

Later, his situation improved a little. He received monthly salary and saw nice things. He could only wear exquisite head ornaments.

Luxurious clothes can only be worn for a limited time.

Apart from this, there is no other reward.

Even though she gave birth to Wuyou for the Wei family, she did not receive any obvious rewards.

"Taking advantage of today's happy event, Fu Ran, you also made a contribution to the birth of Wuyou. I was so busy before that I forgot. You are also a contributor to the Wei family. I will give you a shop and some pocket money." Madam Wei waved her hand, and Nanny Li quickly got the house deed.

Fu Ran took it and looked at it, his eyes curved with smile.

It is a shop, and a prosperous one, right in the capital.

Although it is not the most prosperous area, it is not remote at all.

She had to work very hard to hold back from laughing out loud in front of everyone.

In the past, she would not be very willing to come to Qingfuyuan. She would rather stay in her own room and eat happily.

When you arrive at Qingfuyuan, you have to be careful about what you eat, how you sit, and how you talk.

But if there were rewards for coming, she would definitely want to come every day and eat three meals a day.

"Thank you, ma'am." Fu Ran thanked her.

According to the prices in the area near the capital, this shop is worth at least a few hundred taels.

She suddenly felt like a rich woman.

With this money, she felt that her back could be straighter.

"Madam, why are you still calling me old lady?" Madam Li reminded.

Fu Ran naturally understood.

"Thank you, mother." Fu Ran was willing to comply for the sake of the shop.

Madam Wei smiled.

Mingyue didn't stay in the mansion for long and left after lunch.

Fu Ran walked back to Chaoguangyuan with light steps. She suddenly felt that she was adorned with jewels and precious stones. It was true that money gave people courage. There was a reason for that.

Especially for someone like her who is trapped in the backyard and cannot go out and show her skills for the time being - she may not be able to do so. After all, this world is also full of difficulties.

She carefully hid everything that belonged to her.

Some of it was kept inside the palace, and some of it was kept outside.

Although she didn't feel safe anywhere.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

She had no more trusted place to put her possessions.

One day, she will leave the Wei family. If she cannot take the money out of the Wei Mansion, at least there will be some spare money outside.

Fu Ran's good mood is obvious to all.

She returned to Chaoguangyuan with Wei Xuan. The light in her eyes had never faded, and even the look she gave Wei Xuan was full of pearls.

The two of them stepped into the gate of Chaoguangyuan.

Fu Ran discovered that Wei Xuan was walking in the same direction as her.

But her house was not in the same direction as his.

"My Lord, it's time for Wuyou to take a nap. It's rare for you to have a rest at home, so you should go back to your room and have a good rest. When Wuyou wakes up, I'll have the nurse carry him to her."

Fu Ran said in a brisk tone.

"Are you in a good mood?" He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.

The smile on Fu Ran's lips froze slightly.

"Of course. Seeing that Princess Mingyue and General Mu get along well after marriage, although Princess Mingyue was forced to find a marriage in a hurry, at least this marriage is what she likes, so they won't become a resentful couple after marriage." Fu Ran said seriously.

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"You are right. Mingyue has a lively personality. If she marries into the Ding family, she will have to be controlled by Prime Minister Ding and Madam Ding. She may not be able to bear it. The Mu family is a family of military commanders. The family tradition is more open, and they will not control her in any way."

Fu Ran nodded.

"This is good. Mingyue is still young. In two years, she and General Mu will be more stable and have a deeper relationship. They will be a good couple."

Wei Xuan said nothing, just looked at her.

Fu Ran looked straight at him.

"Does the Duke have any other instructions?"

She yawned.

No hand covering.

She just wanted to tell him that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

"You always call me Duke now?" Wei Xuan changed her words after hearing Nanny Li's reminder today. Before this, she always called her mother Old Madam and him Duke.

She had called Xiu Ning a few times before.

"You call him Duke in front of others, but wouldn't it be too formal to call him Duke in front of Wuyou? Wuyou will grow up slowly, and she will hope to have parents who get along harmoniously." Wei Xuan said casually.

"From now on, if there are no outsiders around, just call me Xiu Ning."

Wei Xiuning.

It’s not that you can’t shout.

It's just a name.

Fu Ran, considering that he had received two big gifts today, did not argue with him and simply nodded in agreement.

His face turned pale: "I will call you whatever you say. From now on, when there are no outsiders around, I will call you Xiuning."

Her answer was somewhat perfunctory.

However, Wei Xuan didn't care about these.

"It's time for lunch break. I'll go with you."

As he said this, he still went towards her room.

Fu Ran was stunned for a moment before following.

What's wrong with him? How can she rest with him around?

How did her fake yawn end?

She was very excited about receiving such a big gift and was thinking about how to hide it and where to use it. If he was in her room, it would cause all kinds of inconvenience.

"Guo--, Xiuning, I will disturb you, you should go back to your room and rest."

"I'm not afraid of noise."

"Xiuning, actually, I'm not sleepy yet."

"It's okay, you do your thing and I'll rest mine."

"Wei Xiuning——." Someone gritted his teeth secretly.
