Marry a Duke

Chapter 81 Are you scared?

"Bi'an, what are you still hesitating about? Tie him up and send him directly back to Prince Qi's mansion." Wei Xuan's voice was indifferent, but with a hint of coldness.

Upon hearing this, Bi'an immediately and rudely tied up Princess Ruhui.

Ruhui saw that Bi'an really dared to be rude to her. She only brought her maid with her today and was unable to stop Bi'an for a while.

"Wei Xuan, if you don't take my mother seriously, she will not let you go." Ruhui screamed madly.

"The Shou Prince was a meritorious official of Dayue who sacrificed his life for his country. Today, the Shou Princess is having a birthday banquet and everyone is celebrating. Only Princess Ruhui is ignorant of etiquette and manners and has no royal manners at all. She ruined the Shou Princess' birthday banquet and threw dirty water on Wei Xuan many times. Since the Queen can't control you, the Duke of Ying doesn't care about you, and even the Qi Wang Mansion indulges you—"

Every word was as cold as stone, striking at Ruhui's heart.

She always knew that Wei Xuan had no interest in her, and when Wei Xuan saw her, he seldom looked at her straight in the eye.

But he treats other women the same way.

Later, Prince Shou died in battle, but he treated Mingyue differently. Because Mingyue was younger than her, she didn't take it to heart.

Only now did she realize that in Wei Xuan's heart, she was so unbearable.

"Didn't the Prince of Qi also come with Princess Ruhui?" someone suddenly brought up.

The other guests suddenly remembered that they had indeed entered the mansion together.

But Li Minghao was nowhere to be seen.

It was not until the steward of Prince Shou's Mansion mentioned it that people knew that Li Minghao had left in a hurry when Princess Ruhui was causing trouble, in order to distance himself from Princess Ruhui.

From this we can see that the love between husband and wife is very ordinary.

"Imperial Censor Zhang——." Wei Xuan shouted.

Also present today is Censor Zhang Qian from the Censorate.

"What does the Duke have to say?" Censor Zhang was quite dissatisfied with Princess Ruhui's arrogance. Relying on her status, she had done many excessive things.

Prince Shou is respected, and so is his wife.

Princess Ruhui ruined Princess Shou's rare birthday banquet, which was extremely unreasonable.

"Please allow Censor Zhang to handle today's matter impartially." Wei Xuan said.

"Yes." Censor Zhang will report the truth. "*** has no relationship with the English public servant's daughter. I will report the truth to the court."

Ruhui's face turned pale again.

"You are not worthy." Her eyes were red and she sprayed at everyone she saw.

Censor Zhang was scolded but he didn't care at all. When he entered the Censorate, his job was impeachment, which was bound to offend ministers in the court.

He had been in the Censorate for more than ten years and was never afraid of these things.

"If Princess Ruhui feels that I am unworthy, that is fine. Tomorrow my impeachment memorial will appear on the cabinet case and be presented to the emperor."

"Someone come here--." Wei Xuan was about to call for help but was stopped by Princess Shou.

“Wei Xuan, it is not appropriate for you to interfere in this matter, so as not to cause you more trouble.” Princess Shou summoned the guards of the Shou Palace and sent Princess Ruhui back to the Qi Palace.

As soon as Ruhui left, the situation calmed down.

Old Madam Wei came out and said something to ease the atmosphere. Everyone temporarily forgot about the unpleasantness and continued with the banquet.

Fu Ran, who was hiding behind the crowd, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she hid quickly and Princess Ruhui didn't see her.

Otherwise, you will definitely get scolded.

"Madam, please come over and sit down." Qiao'er supported her.

Fu Ran nodded. She was indeed a little tired. She didn't know when Wei Xuan and the others would return. It would be impolite for her to return alone first.

It seems that the matter between *** and the Duke of England is really related to Wei Xuan.

Otherwise, Princess Ruhui would not have been able to rush straight to Prince Shou's Mansion.

She knew Wei Xuan's methods. How could such a person allow his enemies to frame him at will?

However, Wei Xuan still had to consider the emperor, after all, *** was the emperor's biological sister.

If they are siblings with deep affection for each other, Wei Xuan will be an outsider.

Fu Ran found a secluded place to sit. Qiao'er did not leave and stayed by her side. Fu Ran felt a little hungry.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and there was one thing she wasn't used to yet.

I feel full after eating very little, and eating more will make my stomach uncomfortable.

But if you don't eat for a while, you will feel hungry again, so you need to eat small meals frequently.

Mingyue then asked the servants to bring some food over.

"This is what Brother Xuan asked me to bring. We'll be having a banquet soon. If you're hungry, just eat something first." Mingyue was in a good mood. Just now, Brother Xuan had Ruhui kidnapped and taken back to Prince Qi's Mansion, which was really gratifying.

She was also in the mood to sit down and chat with Fu Ran.

Fu Ran thanked him, took a piece of osmanthus cake and started eating.

"Thank you, Princess Mingyue."

"You don't have to be polite. With Ruhui's temper, it's a good thing that you used to work in the *** Mansion. How could you tolerate such a master?" Mingyue said with disdain.

It won't happen in the Shouwang Mansion. As long as the servants do their jobs quietly, there won't be any trouble.

The master will not beat his servants without hesitation.

Fu Ran smiled softly, "Those who couldn't bear it are gone, so the ones who can bear it are the ones left."

When Mingyue heard it, she immediately understood.

"So vicious."

"It's not always true. Some people are more unlucky, and there's nothing we can do about it. I'm also quite unlucky." She laughed at herself.

Seeing this, Mingyue found her quite interesting.

"That's right. I really don't know whether to say you have a good or bad luck, but you are doing well now. Brother Xuan is a rare good man. He will protect you, and he is thinking about you now."

Wei Xuan was not in the backyard at this time, and neither was Princess Shou nor Old Madam Wei.

Even Censor Zhang was nowhere to be seen.

They all went to the front yard to discuss the matter together.

Since what happened just now will be reported to the emperor by Censor Zhang, even his mother will never let her only daughter suffer such a great injustice.

They need to have a way to deal with it.

"Of course, I am carrying his child in my belly. Even if he doesn't care about me, he will still care about the child in my belly."

Mingyue saw that her belly was quite big. As a little girl, she couldn't imagine how uncomfortable it must be to carry such a big belly and have difficulty walking.

"If you give birth to Brother Xuan's child, Brother Xuan will treat you better." Mingyue raised her eyebrows and said.

Fu Ran had already finished a piece of osmanthus cake and thanked Princess Mingyue, "Thank you for your good words, Princess Mingyue."

Mingyue is a kind-hearted child. She knows that Fu Ran is in a difficult situation. Having come from an environment like that of the *** Mansion, he was seriously injured several times by Ruhui and almost lost his life.

She felt that Fu Ran was pitiful and a weak person.

People naturally sympathize with the weak, so Mingyue also showed kindness to Fu Ran.

Fu Ran didn't eat any more, fearing that he wouldn't have enough to eat at the banquet.

When the banquet started, Princess Shou and the others showed up. Fu Ran sat next to Wei Xuan in the capacity of the wife of Duke Weiguo. She looked calm and had a rosy face, and did not look like she was frightened.

Wei Xuan glanced at her, and Fu Ran happened to meet his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Duke?" she asked in a low voice.

Wei Xuan withdrew his gaze.

"Are you scared?"
