Marry a Duke

Chapter 120 Guard

Wei Xuan was somewhat surprised that she would think of someone other than ***. Indeed, besides ***, there were others in the court who regarded him as an obstacle.

Some people are nothing but clowns, not worth mentioning in front of him.

Wei Xuan had no intention of talking to her any more.

Fu Ran was also a sensible man. Since he didn't want to say anything, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It was dawn soon and she couldn't sleep at all. When Wuyou woke up, she got up too.

Wei Xuan got up with the mother and daughter. After a simple wash, the kitchen had already started preparing breakfast.

Fortunately, the cooks in the kitchen and the servants in the yard were all unimportant people, and the men in black did not waste time taking their lives.

Otherwise, you might not even be able to have a hot meal early in the morning.

Before dinner, Fu Ran went to Lan Yin and Wei Nian's room, and Lan Yin confided to her the fear she felt when the incident happened.

Fortunately, everything is over.

"If Nian'er is really in trouble, I will die and will not be able to face her father." Lan Yin's eyes were moist.

Fu Ran comforted her and told her not to be too sad, everything was fine.

"We were just frightened, nothing happened. I was also frightened last night, and I didn't know what to do while holding Wuyou. I understand my sister-in-law's feelings best."

Fu Ran's words calmed Lan Yin's emotions temporarily.

Yes--

Fu Ran was also frightened. Wuyou was younger than Nian'er, so Fu Ran should be even more scared than her.

Lan Yin wiped the water from the corners of her eyes, and her face looked much stronger.

"Yes, I am Nian'er's mother, I can't fall down early."

"That's right, look at Nian'er, she doesn't know anything, but she's still carefree. It's you who protects her."

The two talked for a while, and then Nanny Li came over and asked them to have dinner together in the front hall. The kitchen had already delivered breakfast to the front hall.

Lan Yin held Nian'er's hand and went to the front hall.

Fu Ran went with them.

The wet nurse didn't eat with them, and Wuyou was still young, so she didn't need to go to the front hall. Fu Ran had already asked Qiao'er to take care of the two of them.

Although the danger seems to be far away, who can predict whether everything will go smoothly in the future?

Her Wuyou is the most important. She has told Qiaoer that if something really happens, Wuyou's life is more precious than hers, and Qiaoer must protect Wuyou first.

When they arrived at the front hall, the old lady and Wei Xuan had already arrived, as did Princess Mingyue and Yuan Xin. As soon as they entered the flower hall, Wei Xuan came over.

Just now he went out to meet Gao Mian and Bian, as well as two people Fu Ran had never met before.

At this time, he was replaced by an unfamiliar guard.

Fu Ran looked at him twice more and confirmed that he had never seen him before.

"Everyone is here, pick up your chopsticks, and after breakfast, we will go back to the city early." Old Madam Wei said calmly, as if what happened yesterday had not affected her at all.

In fact, she also hoped to return to the city as soon as possible. Once in the city, those people would not dare to be so blatant.

The Duke's Mansion has sufficient guards, and now ordinary people can no longer set foot inside the Mansion.

It’s not like this villa, anyone can break in.

Yuan Xin considerately helped Madam Wei to spread the porridge herself, and also helped Wei Xuan.

Fu Ran helped Lan Yin and Nian Er.

Lan Yin said she could come, and Fu Ran helped her to install it. Lan Yin was so scared that her hands were shaking from time to time.

"Sister-in-law, don't mind it. I just like taking care of Nian'er. Nian'er, if you want to eat anything else, tell Second Aunt and she will help you get it."

After hearing this, Nian'er smiled sweetly and took a serious look at the food on the table.

Pointed at the diced lotus root.

"I want to eat that."

The lotus root cubes were in front of Wei Xuan. After hearing what he said, he placed the plate of lotus root cubes in front of Nian'er. Nian'er could use chopsticks, but she couldn't pick up small things, so she still used a spoon.

Fu Ran glanced at him and scooped some into Nian'er's bowl.

"Nian'er, eat quickly."

"Thank you, uncle, and thank you, aunt." Nian'er said sweetly.

Sitting next to Wei Xuan was Fu Ran, next to Fu Ran was Wei Nian, next to Wei Nian was Lan Yin, next to Lan Yin was Ming Yue, then Yuan Xin, Nanny Li and Old Madam Wei.

Old Madam Wei and Wei Xuan were sitting next to each other.

Nian'er is sweet-mouthed and talkative, which makes the dinner table more relaxed and the atmosphere less solemn.

Yuan Xin saw it all with a smile on her face, but she felt bad in her heart.

It was obvious that Fu Ran was deliberately going against her and letting Wei Nian steal the limelight.

After the meal, Fu Ran was 80% full, Lan Yin was only 50% full, and Yuan Xin was only 30% full.

Wei Nian, on the other hand, was very full.

She touched her belly, feeling very satisfied, and Lan Yin laughed.

After lunch, we took a short break, put our things away, and were ready to set off.

When they set out, Fu Ran still didn't see Gao Mian and Bian appear.

It seems that Gaomian will not appear.

He was assigned to do other things.

"Where is Guard Gao?" She asked before leaving. She asked Qiao'er. The guard was also one of them, but he rarely served in front of the master.

"Gaomian has other things to do." Wei Xuan glanced at her.

"What about Bi'an?" Fu Ran asked again.

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at her: "You don't dislike Bi'an."

Fu Ran had an illusion at the moment, that it was because she disliked Bian that he did not let Bian serve him when Gao Mian had something to do. But Bian was the person who had served him the longest.

I am very familiar with his preferences.

If I change someone else, I’m afraid they won’t be used to it.

Fu Ran was silent for a moment and glanced at the strange guard standing on the carriage.

"My Lord, since Guard Gao is busy, let Guard Lin come back. After all, he is an old friend of yours and you are used to him. Even if I don't like Bi'an, I just need to stay away from him."

She couldn't stand Bian's foul mouth.

As long as Bian would keep her mouth shut, she could still tolerate it.

She was not sure whether Wei Xuan would let Bian come back. It had nothing to do with her anymore. She got on the carriage and sat with Lan Yin and her daughter.

On the way back, Yuan Xin and Ming Yue still rode with Madam Wei.

Yuan Xin naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity to make her presence felt in front of the old lady.

Even though Madam Wei has accepted Fu Ran now, it is true that she once hated him.

Yuan Xin's excellence is obvious to all, and she is very confident that as long as Madam Wei can see all her advantages, she will not let Wei Xuan miss her.

Along the way, Yuan Xin made Mrs. Wei laugh repeatedly.

Even Fu Ran, who was sitting in the carriage at the back, heard the laughter.

Lan Yin listened to her mother-in-law's laughter with a complicated expression.

"Fu Ran, you should know that Miss Yuan, I'm afraid she has some ulterior motives." As a woman, Lan Yin could feel that Yuan Xin was seizing the opportunity to show off in front of her mother-in-law and second uncle.

This is no different from how animals behave when courting.

But his wife is right here, and Miss Yuan's blatant behavior is indeed damaging to the character of a lady from a noble family.

"My sister-in-law noticed it, too." Fu Ran smiled faintly, holding Wuyou in his arms, holding Wuyou's little hand, not caring much: "I noticed it, too, I wonder if the old lady and Wei Xiuning noticed it."
