Chapter 231 Discovering the Trick
"Come back with me." He knew she didn't want to go back to Beijing yet. "You said Wuyou needs her father, and I need her too."
Fu Ran was silent.
After a while, she said to him seriously.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of her and give her lots of love."
"How can they be the same? Fatherly love and motherly love are different. If you don't like your previous life, then live a new life." He was willing to promise.
"You know, I went through so much trouble to bring you back to Beijing. I hope you'll be willing to go back with me."
Fu Ran was silent.
"Little Liuzi under the overpass does have some knowledge. I have left him in charge of the Duke of Wei's residence."
"You just let him work in the Weiguo Mansion and didn't imprison him?" she asked hurriedly.
Wei Xuan's gaze was deep.
There's a bit of complexity in it.
What kind of person is he in her heart?
That was all she thought of him.
The waves of bitterness that arise in my heart are indeed not pleasant.
"He can help you leave the capital, and he is a flexible person. As long as we spend time to train him, he will be a useful person." Why shouldn't he want him? If he controlled Xiao Liuzi, he would be turning against her.
She has never been a person who is ungrateful. Xiao Liuzi has helped her so much. If he touches Xiao Liuzi, he would be touching her.
He wasn't that mean.
"Whether it's Alin or Cheng Jiang, I will arrange a suitable position for them after returning to the capital," he promised.
For a moment, Fu Ran didn't know whether he should persist.
She went far away from home just to find a place where she could develop freely and settle down.
"let me consider it."
Wei Xuan didn't give her much time to think about it. He still had things to deal with, and the capital was waiting for him to return.
As for returning to Beijing, he could give her plenty of time to think about it.
"Let's go back first. After we get back, if you don't want to stay in the capital, I'll come with you for a walk."
Two days later, they left Nanxiang. Wei Xuan had ordered people to take care of all the aftermath in Nanxiang.
In the case of the Salt Inspector, he had ordered people to investigate almost everything.
They went to Linfu first.
Wei Xuan stayed in Linfu for seven days, and during these seven days, he often went out.
Yuchi Mingxiu was guarding Fu Ran.
Protect their safety.
Fu Ran suggested to him that he should go back to Beijing first, but he refused.
"I'll go back with you."
If Yuchi Mingxiu went back alone, I'm afraid his parents would not let him off easily.
He now had to stay by his sister's side and bring her back to the capital safely to his parents.
My sister was lost once when she was young.
Now it’s the second time.
The two elders could not bear it a third time.
When he arrived at Linfu, Fu Ran wanted to go out for a walk and broaden his horizons.
If I return to the capital this time, I don’t know when I will come back next time.
She placed Wuyou in a villa, where Cheng Jiang and Alin were guarding him and Dong Niang was taking care of him. There were also other guards in the villa.
She went out with Yuchi Mingxiu and his two guards.
In order not to attract attention, she found clothes worn by local girls, women's clothes, to avoid causing trouble.
Yuchi Mingxiu and his two guards also changed their clothes.
They went out the back door.
The case Wei Xuan was investigating was that the salt inspector had disappeared in the Lincheng area.
The Salt Inspector was a lucrative job and was appointed by the emperor, making him his confidant.
Salt tax is a major part of the national treasury revenue. There are people selling private salt. Many cases have occurred in the Jiangnan area. The emperor has sent Shi Chi Yang to inspect the salt market and he must catch those who sell private salt in one fell swoop.
But Chi Yang disappeared and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Jiangnan is far away from the capital, so people think that the emperor is far away and cannot control this place.
While Wei Xuan was injured, he had ordered people to conduct a thorough investigation in secret.
Now, Chi Yang's whereabouts have been found.
I led people to rescue them yesterday.
Linfu is a big city. Compared with Nanxiang Town, it is much larger, with beautiful scenery, beautiful people, and many delicious foods.
Fu Ran walked, ate and bought along the way.
She bought these things as gifts.
Some are kept for personal use.
She also bought Wuyou several new sets of clothes.
The money used was Wei Xuan's.
He gave her a few banknotes, which she did not hesitate to spend.
He bought something worry-free, and as a father, it was reasonable for him to spend some money.
Yuchi Mingxiu even bought a lot of things for Wuyou as his uncle.
He also wanted to buy more for his sister, but she refused.
Yuchi Mingxiu was still a little sad.
"Ma'am, come and take a look and choose."
"it is good."
Take a look, pick out, and take home the one that suits you.
Yuchi Mingxiu and his two guards were already carrying a lot of things.
"Huanhuan, there are too many things. Let them take the things back first, and then we can go shopping slowly. You can go ahead and buy whatever you want."
Fu Ran took a look and found that there were indeed a lot of things.
She agreed.
"Then it's up to you two."
"That is my responsibility."
Both of them had their hands full and carried the things back to the carriage in the distance.

"Isn't that the Duke of England?" Fu Ran thought he was dazzled and pulled Yuchi Mingxiu to look together, but Yuchi Mingxiu was not familiar with the Duke of England at all.
"Shouldn't the Duke of England be in the capital? Why is he here?" Yuchi Mingxiu was puzzled.
It is said that the Duke of England kept a mistress without telling the eldest princess, and not only did he keep her, but she also gave birth to two sons.
After the princess found out, she killed the Duke of England's concubine and imprisoned her two sons.
Later, he negotiated terms with the British king and released his two concubines.
But later, there was only one left.
The Duke of England wanted to save his only remaining son.
Even though he tried every means to confront the eldest princess, in the end, he found that he was too naive.
He might even be a match for the eldest princess.
Fu Ran had worked in the Princess's Mansion for such a long time, she was very familiar with the Duke of England. Over the past two years, the Duke of England had indeed changed, he looked older and more tired.
But he is still noble.
She had never heard Wei Xuan mention that the Duke of England came with him.
"Let's go take a look together." Fu Ran pulled Yuchi Mingxiu.
"Follow me." Yuchi Mingxiu protected his sister behind him.
The Duke of England went up to the teahouse and entered the private room. He only brought one guard with him.
Fu Ran and Yuchi Mingxiu took a detour to avoid the crowd. Before they went upstairs, the Duke of England came downstairs with two unfamiliar men.
Instead, he went to the brothel opposite.
There was a brothel maid entertaining him, but Fu Ran was not able to enter as he was wearing women's clothes.
She immediately asked someone to get her some clothes, and after changing into them, she and Yuchi Mingxiu sneaked into the brothel.
After spending some money, I finally found out where the British official was.
One of the elegant rooms had a tightly closed door.
There was no one around, so they came up secretly. The others were stopped at the stairs.
"Did the Duke of England really come here on the orders of the Princess Royal?"
“Of course, without the eldest princess’ order, even if I came to the Lin Mansion, it would be useless. Duke Weiguo has already found Chi Yang. You should clean up the mess as soon as possible and find someone to take the blame.” Duke Yingguo said lightly.
Fu Ran was shocked when he heard this.
The Duke of England actually obeyed the orders of the eldest princess.
She once thought that the Duke of England and Wei Xuan were on the same side.
Could it be that the couple was playing Wei Xuan in the palm of their hands?
