Marry a Duke

Chapter 241: Husband's Mother Wants to Change Son-in-Law

Wei Xuan put down everything he was doing on the pretext of recuperating from illness and has been recuperating in the Duke of Weiguo's mansion for three months.

For three months, he had not even set foot outside of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Anyone who came to visit Wei Xuan, unless they were close relatives, would not even be able to see Wei Xuan.

Some people in the court began to re-position themselves.

Before this, some people were still optimistic about Wei Xuan. They believed that Wei Xuan had the ability to overthrow the eldest princess, so those who followed the wind wanted to follow Wei Xuan.

Now it seems that Wei Xuan’s luck has run out and his life or death is approaching.

Some people turned to the eldest princess and surrendered.

The emperor came twice, and Wei Xuan was lying in bed the whole time.

Every time the emperor came, his face became gloomier.

When he came the second time, Wei Xuan directly told the emperor his "death date".

When the emperor left, he looked very unhappy.

At the Princess's Mansion, everything was going as planned. The Princess was in a very good mood. She held three banquets in the past three months and invited many people to the Mansion.

In the name of flower viewing.

In the name of fish watching.

In the name of listening to opera.

They were all small matters, but she could hold a grand banquet and have all the wives and daughters of the civil and military families in the court run to the Princess's Mansion.

She just wanted everyone to know that Wei Xuan's misery made her extremely happy.

This time, invitations to attend operas were sent to the residences of the Duke of Weiguo, the Duke of Shenguo, and even the residence of the Marquis of Chenyuan.

The eldest princess invited the most famous opera troupe in Jiangnan, and the leading actress was even more famous.

Ordinary people can’t find that even if they have money.

The princess was rich and powerful, so she invited the entire troupe into her mansion to perform for three consecutive days.

Anyone who receives the invitation will definitely go. The eldest princess is powerful and no one wants to offend her.

Moreover, the plays of the Jiangnan Liucai Opera Troupe are what everyone looks forward to and wants to watch.

Mrs. Shen did not want to attend the invitation received by the Duke Shen's Mansion. Such occasions were too stressful and tiring.

"I'm saying I'm sick, so I won't go." Mrs. Shen said.

Shen Yan understood his mother and was about to ask someone to reply.

Yuchi Xinxin said that she wanted to go.

“I’ve heard of the Liucai Opera Troupe, but I’ve never seen it in Xuzhou. This is also my first time seeing it in the capital. I’ve missed such a good opportunity and I’m afraid I’ll never see it again.

Besides, since this is a letter from the Princess, we must send someone there no matter what. Otherwise, if we offend the Princess, the Duke of Shen’s Mansion may not have a good life.”

Yuchi Xinxin wanted to take this opportunity to get to know some useful people at the banquet.

The Duke Shen's Mansion basically does not hold banquets on weekdays. Madam Shen said that she is old and does not want to worry about it anymore. It is not an easy thing to hold banquets every few days.

The Chenyuan Marquis Mansion had just moved to the capital not long ago, and although it had many names to host banquets.

But Shen Fengan was in poor health, and Yuchi Sui would not let the banquet disturb her rest.

"What are you going to do? Just stay at home. You won't recognize many people at the banquet, so you might make mistakes." Shen Yan is not going, Madam Shen is not going, and only Yuchi Xinxin is going. Who knows what kind of trouble will arise.

"I will go with the nanny and the maids. We are just attending the banquet, not going to war. How can I go wrong? After all, I am the eldest daughter of the Yuchi family who has been raised for more than ten years. I know everything that needs to be paid attention to at the banquet."

Yuchi straightened his back proudly.

In comparison, Fu Ran was just a maid in the Princess's Mansion before, so how could she know any rules or vision?

Yuchi Xinxin insisted, and the Shen family's mother and son were helpless with her.

Shen Yan sent someone to keep an eye on her to prevent her from causing any more trouble.

Shen Fengan went to the Duke of Weiguo's mansion to accompany Fu Ran.

"Mom doesn't plan to go. Such occasions are too lively. I prefer quietness." Shen Feng'an said. Her body has been in poor health for many years and is indeed not as healthy as others.

Now that her daughter is back with her, she has to pay attention to everything, take care of her health, and spend more time with her daughter.

"I don't like it either. The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion also received the invitation, but the old lady rejected it immediately. The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion has a lot of things to do now and can't leave. The eldest princess sent the invitation to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion on purpose."

Shen Fengan also felt that the eldest princess had ulterior motives.

"But if none of you go, the princess will definitely make up rumors that are unfavorable to you in front of others."

"Then let her make it up. There are many people who flatter her. The Wei family is in a turbulent time right now, and we don't want to be distracted by these unimportant things."

After Shen Fengan visited Wei Xuan, she became even more worried.

"Wei Xuan's condition doesn't look good." She didn't know how to comfort her daughter. If Wei Xuan really couldn't hold on, she still had her family behind her.

"Huanhuan, you have to know that although you married into the Wei family, you will always be the daughter of the Yuchi family and the most precious to your parents." Shen Fengan left the house and then took Fu Ran's hand.

Unexpectedly, although her voice was not loud, Wei Xuan in the room heard it clearly.

He is a martial artist, so even if he was poisoned, his facial features are still better than those of ordinary people.

His spirit was not so bad that he would remain unconscious.

"Mom, I know." Fu Ran knew what she meant.

"If Wei Xuan really can't be saved, it's just bad luck. We can't save him from death." Shen Feng'an felt that there would be no more miracles.

There are not so many miracles in this world.

"Huanhuan, mother will make plans for you as soon as possible."

Plan early?

What are you planning?

Fu Ran felt that there was something else behind her words, maybe she was planning for her to marry someone else.

This is the Wei family. Shen Fengan didn’t explain it too clearly, but that was indeed what he meant.

It was a mistake for my daughter to marry into the Wei family from the beginning. Everything that happened afterwards made her unhappy and unhappy. So she should just give up all that and find another happy one.

If you meet someone you like, you still have to get married.

She and her husband will definitely love and cherish her, but she wants someone who is completely trustworthy to protect her throughout her life.

After all, she and her husband will grow old, and it is impossible for them to stay by their daughter's side all their lives.

Shen Feng'an was trying to persuade her with all his heart, but Fu Ran didn't want to spoil her fun, so she just responded perfunctorily and told her not to worry.

Shen Fengjia stayed with her at Wei's house for half a day before being taken home by Yuchi Sui.

When Fu Ran returned to the room, Wei Xuan was sleeping.

She left the room, thinking that she would wait until he woke up before letting him eat and take medicine.

But it was already an hour past noon and he was still asleep.

There is no intention of waking up.

"Wei Xuan." She called him softly at the bedside at first. She was worried that her voice was too loud and would scare him, a patient.

"..."

"Wei Xuan, aren't you hungry? It's time to get up and eat." Fu Ran frowned. If it were in the past, if she had leaned so close to him and talked to him, he would have opened his eyes long ago.

Her heart ached.

Could it be that the poison has taken effect?

"Wei Xiuning." She suddenly raised her voice, "Wake up quickly, Jin Zhao, go get the imperial physician."

She said anxiously.

The next moment, her slender wrist was held tightly by him.
