Marry a Duke

Chapter 202 What does it have to do with him?

Are you ready?

The words he said kept ringing in Fu Ran's ears like a spell.

It's almost become a resentment.

She didn't sleep well all night.

On the other hand, Wei Xuan, who was lying next to her, looked like he had slept very soundly all night.

He got up early in the morning and went to court.

Before leaving, he helped her pull the quilt.

She faintly heard his voice kissing Wuyou and instructing the wet nurse to take good care of Wuyou.

Fu Ran fell asleep just before dawn and woke up after only a short while. He had made an appointment with Princess Lianxing to visit her house today.

I put a lot of rouge on my face to slightly cover up the fatigue from not sleeping well all night.

"Madam, what happened to you last night? You didn't look very well." Yu Di looked worried. "Why not ask someone to go to Princess Lianxing's mansion and tell her that you can go there tomorrow."

Fu Ran shook his head.

I am putting makeup on myself.

"Princess Lianxing has important matters to attend to, and she is not available every day. Since we have already made an appointment, we must go on time. I'm fine, I'll come back later and catch up on some sleep."

She didn't know what Wei Xuan meant.

And I vaguely knew what he meant.

It's not that he doesn't want to, he just hopes she can be prepared.

Fu Ran wanted to tell him that she would never be ready.

After changing her clothes and putting on makeup, she didn't look too rude.

Fu Ran picked out a decent gift from the small storehouse and asked Qiao'er to go with him to Princess Lianxing's mansion.

Jin Zhao was driving the car.

In the past few days, Qian Wu and Cheng Jiang have recovered well.

However, after all, they were seriously injured and they both needed to recuperate for at least a month.

Fu Ran asked Yu Di to go see them every day and come back to tell her about the situation. As long as she was in the mansion, she would visit them in person.

They didn't let the people in the mansion treat them unfairly.

Wei Xuan had people taking good care of them, and they are slowly recovering.

Lian Xing was already waiting in the mansion. She had nothing to do today, so she was only preparing for her wedding.

After the farce of Ruhui and Nadu’s wedding.

This time, when Princess Lianxing and Nadu were married again, there was no grand ceremony.

After returning to Daliang, we started to do something big.

Lian Xing did not raise any objection to this.

"Why don't you let the emperor make a grand arrangement? That's unfair to you." Fu Ran felt that the emperor was too unkind and Lian Xing was just trying to cover up for Ruhui.

Ruhui tried every means to marry Nadu, but ended up with this marriage.

The eldest princess still tolerated her.

It can be seen that the eldest princess really loves her only daughter.

“The emperor is afraid that if he holds another grand wedding that only takes a few days, it will seem too extravagant and wasteful, and the people will complain.” Lian Xing smiled faintly, not really caring.

"Fu Ran, when you married Wei Xuan, you also had a grand ceremony. Tell me, does the grandness of the wedding have anything to do with the harmony after marriage?"

Fu Ran shook his head.

That has nothing to do with it.

"So, I married Nadu because I had selfish motives. I wanted to get something from Daliang that I couldn't get from Dayue. I went through too much in the first twenty years of my life. I watched my closest people leave me one by one. I don't have to worry about the rest of my life. I have nothing to lose."

As she spoke, Lian Xing's eyes turned red.

Fu Ran felt very distressed when he heard this.

"You should have better choices." She hopes that everyone has the ability to choose the life they want to live.

Lian Xing smiled bitterly.

"People live in this world mostly without any control over their own destiny. You are one of us, I am one of us, and many people are like this."

Yes.

So is she.

Fu Ran did not deny it, but compared with Lian Xing's, her misfortune did not seem that tragic.

She was raised in someone else's home for more than ten years, but now she has reunited with her biological parents.

She had a hard life in the past ten years or so, which was not easy at all. She even suffered torture when she married into the Wei family. But now everything is over.

"Are you sure things will get better after you marry into Daliang?"

"I'm not sure. No one can be sure. Daliang is not so trustworthy. However, Duke Wei has promised me that as long as I join forces with him, I will definitely get what I want."

Wei Xuan?

Fu Ran was surprised, "Did he plan this with you?"

"Yes, the princess has always been suspicious. If she suppresses him, he will definitely not join forces with Daliang to deal with Dayue. But the princess wants to use Ruhui to suppress Daliang's power. The Duke of Weiguo wants me to marry to Daliang to contain the Daliang royal family. Once Daliang makes any decision, I will contact the border generals."

Guarding against Daliang is what border guards always have to do.

"Perhaps Daliang will have some concerns because of me. This is also my chance. Duke Weiguo is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and the people. He should not be suspected by the princess for no reason. Although the emperor trusts Duke Weiguo, he has not really used any means to suppress the princess. Instead, he lets the princess do whatever she wants. It can be seen that our emperor is not a clear-headed person."

Lian Xing knew that the current emperor was too frightened back then, and there was still a void deep in his heart.

He may not be a good monarch.

"That's true." Fu Ran also thought so. If the emperor could see clearly, he would know that the eldest princess had done something that was not beneficial to the family and the country, and he would restrain the eldest princess.

But the emperor was confused and always indulged the eldest princess, as well as Princess Ruhui, allowing them to act lawless.

Lian Xing did not treat Fu Ran as an outsider. During their conversation, the two not only talked about themselves, but also about their family and country.

Lian Xing is an extraordinary woman. Not only does she want to avenge her relatives, she also wants to use her own strength to allow Dayue to live a few more years of peace.

"Princess Lianxing is truly an extraordinary person. She is truly admirable." Fu Ran said.

Lian Xing smiled.

"People are different. It's not easy for you to live like this in adversity. The eldest princess used you. When you first entered the Wei family, you were suppressed by the Wei family, but you lived well. You don't have to look down on yourself. You are better than many women."

Fu Ran was deeply touched.

There are few people in this world who can have a say over her.

Yudi is wholeheartedly devoted to her, but only to her. She always puts herself in the position of a maid.

Qiao'er is Wei Xuan's person and has the final say, so it is not convenient for her to overstep her authority.

Others are even more so.

Although I have recognized my biological parents now, but——

After all, there is a gap of more than ten years between them, which needs to be filled slowly, bit by bit.

Princess Yu Mingyue, in fact, was just an acquaintance of her, and it was because of Wei Xuan that they met.

"Princess Lianxing is truly a sweet-talking girl. It's a pity that we have to part ways not long after we met. I really don't want to let her go." Fu Ran hoped that one day she could leave Daliang and live the life she wanted.

"What about you..." Lian Xing smiled, "Should I also wish you freedom? Although, if the Duke of Wei knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy."

"What's it got to do with him?"
