Marry a Duke

Chapter 118 Testing

Yuan Xin's eyes were almost glued to Wei Xuan, but she tried hard to pretend not to pay much attention to her.

Mingyue saw it clearly and knew that her heart was with Brother Xuan, and felt that this was not appropriate.

Brother Xuan's wife and daughter live in the house opposite. It's not very good for my cousin to covet someone else's husband so blatantly.

Besides, Brother Xuan has already married a wife. If my cousin really likes Brother Xuan that much, does it mean that she wants to become a concubine in the Wei family?

That won’t work. My aunt won’t agree.

"Young lady, please go back. There are corpses all over the ground that need to be dealt with. Not only can you not help, but you will only delay time." Bi'an spoke frankly.

He had been hiding in the dark, and rushed over when he heard the signal. He knew that this girl was with Princess Mingyue, and he seemed to have seen her somewhere in the capital before.

Bi'an's words made Yuan Xin's face turn pale.

"I, I just want to help." She was almost on the verge of tears.

"Okay, then come and help me move the body." Bi'an frowned. How could a timid young lady from a noble family do this job?

Yuan Xin looked at the corpses all over the floor and resisted the urge to vomit.

"Since it's inconvenient, Mingyue and I will go back to our room first." She looked at Wei Xuan deeply before going back to her room with Mingyue.

Wei Xuan frowned and used his sword to lift the masks of each man in black, revealing their true faces.

"Master, how should we deal with this?"

"Cut off their heads, hang them at the city gate, and send people to watch them." Wei Xuan said expressionlessly.

Bi'an agreed immediately.

After making sure that there were no more men in black nearby, Qian Wu and others helped deal with the bodies in the yard. They chopped off the heads and dragged the bodies directly to the mass grave and burned them.

Bi'an even hung the heads of these men in black at the city gate overnight.

Wei Xuan's body was covered in blood, and his hands were also blood red.

He hates the smell of blood.

It was the same on the battlefield before, but now that you are on the battlefield, you have to kill the enemy.

He had been enduring this unbearable smell.

He originally wanted to go back to his room directly, but considering the smell of blood on his body and Wuyou in the room, he went to an unused guest room and asked the kitchen to boil some water. He washed himself thoroughly before going back to his room.

And send someone to get clothes for him.

Fu Ran did not go out to watch the fun. He moved the tables and chairs behind the door, hugged Wuyou, and could no longer fall asleep.

There were many dead bodies lying in the yard.

She heard Wei Xuan's instructions clearly. He calmly ordered Bian to chop off those people's heads. It was not wrong, just a little bloody, but it was enough to shock people.

As soon as they entered the temple, someone wanted to attack them. There must be someone watching them day and night.

I just don't know who is behind this time.

They were obviously well prepared. Those dozen or so men in black were all very skilled. Wei Xuan had not taken much action before, and there were people around him so he didn't need to do it himself.

Even when fighting, they try their best not to cause bloodshed.

This time, he killed them ruthlessly. Perhaps because there were old and young people involved, he did not delay and killed them directly.

Qiao'er delivered Wei Xuan's clothes to the guest room.

At this time, Yuan Xin asked Mingyue to bring her to see Fu Ran.

It was already late and the sky was already slightly bright.

Soon, daybreak will come.

"Cousin, this isn't a good idea. Let's not go." Mingyue tried to persuade her. It was still dark outside, and it would be embarrassing for her cousin to go into someone else's house.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xin looked at Mingyue with a gentle expression.

"Mingyue, don't worry. I'm just concerned about Mrs. Wei. She has a child with her. She must be frightened by what happened just now. She has not stepped out of the room. Let's go over and talk to her to give her courage." Yuan Xin said as a matter of course.

Mingyue thought about it and agreed.

Fu Ran had such a young child with him, and he must have been frightened by what just happened.

"Why don't you wait until daytime, cousin? Don't think too much. Brother Xuan already has a wife and a child, and you are also going to be engaged."

When talking about engagement, Yuan Xin had an indifferent expression. Her family had already chosen a suitable future husband for her, but she was not satisfied.

She has her own expectations.

She thought that before getting married, she would find someone she truly liked and was willing to marry.

Wei Xuan is such a person.

But the Yuan family would never allow her to be a concubine.

"I know my limits." Yuan Xin still insisted on doing so. Mingyue was a little unhappy. How could her cousin, who was such a gentle and polite person, be so stubborn now?

"Forget it, I don't care about you. I'm not going anyway." Mingyue turned around and went back to her room, not wanting to go with Yuanxin.

It would be difficult for her to explain to Old Madam Wei and Brother Xuan later.

If my cousin insists on doing it, let her handle it herself.

When Yuan Xin arrived, Fu Ran was talking to the wet nurse. Wuyou in his arms was not sleepy at the moment, and the two of them were teasing her.

Qiao'er was not in the room, delivering something to Wei Xuan, so there was no one waiting outside the door.

The door was also open, and Yuan Xin stood at the door, looking graceful and elegant.

"Second Madam, can Yuan Xin come in?" Yuan Xin asked.

Fu Ran looked at Yuan Xin under the light. She saw clearly what happened in the yard just now. It seemed that this Miss Yuan could not control her emotions. In such a dangerous situation, she rushed out directly.

I don’t know if Wei Xuan was very touched.

She hid herself very well and didn't dare to reveal anything.

"Miss Yuan, please come in." Fu Ran said.

Wuyou was handed over to the wet nurse, who held him aside and coaxed him.

Fu Ran invited Yuan Xin to sit down, with a look of surprise on his face: "Miss Yuan, you came here at this time, do you have something important to tell me? Or, Miss Yuan, are you here to look for the Duke? He hasn't returned to his room yet."

She didn't think Yuan Xin was looking for her.

If Yuan Xin wanted to find Wei Xuan, she would know that he had not returned to his room at this time.

Yuan Xin smiled gently: "Second Madam, I came to see you. Such a terrible thing happened in the yard just now. I was worried that Second Madam was frightened, so I came to check. How is Second Madam?"

Fu Ran nodded: "It's fine. It seems Miss Yuan is doing well too. Thank you for your concern." Fu Ran looked at the sky, which was almost dawn. She wanted to go see Lan Yin and Wei Nian.

They must have been terrified, too.

She also had to go and pay her respects to the old lady.

"You are too polite, Madam. I see that you are a soft-hearted person. You may not be used to a man as hard as steel as the Duke. You did not see the trick that the Duke showed just now. Otherwise, you would have nightmares every night."

Yuan Xin said in a very caring tone.

Fu Ran immediately understood why she came.

She came to remind herself how incompatible she and Wei Xuan were.

Fu Ran chuckled and said, "That's right. The way the Duke twisted someone's head just now was really terrifying. But Miss Yuan was really brave. She dared to rush out without any fear at all."

Yuan Xin didn't expect that she knew everything. She saw everything outside.
