Marry a Duke

Chapter 102 Full Moon Banquet

On the day of the full moon, Fu Ran had gotten much better. Although her physical condition was not as good as before giving birth, she had recovered 70%. The remaining 30% still needed to be further adjusted.

When she has free time, she hugs her daughter and sings to comfort her.

She was weak and nearly died. When she recovered a little, she had no breast milk to feed herself, so she had to rely on the wet nurse for food.

A wet nurse had been appointed before, but perhaps because they were worried that there would not be enough milk, they hired another one.

Both wet nurses were healthy and well-bred women with no bad habits.

The rewards given by the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion were really generous, so they did their best to take care of Wuyou.

Fu Ran still felt a little regretful. The daughter he gave birth to after surviving many dangerous situations was raised drinking someone else's milk, and there was no milk powder in this world that could replace it.

For the sake of her daughter's healthy growth, she quickly convinced herself.

Healthy growth is more important than anything else.

Wuyou is the eldest daughter of Duke Weiguo, so a full-moon banquet must be held.

However, it was not a big wedding. The Wei family did not believe in luxury, so they only invited some close friends and relatives, and there were quite a few people. Aunt Xu told her that there were more than a dozen tables prepared.

The invitations had been sent out, and some families who had not received invitations came to congratulate the Wei family. It was not easy for the Wei family to refuse them, so all together there were more than twenty tables.

Wuyou was a little bigger than other children when she was born, which was why Fu Ran had a difficult delivery. She tried hard to control her weight and gave all the nutrition to the child. After she gave birth, she fell seriously ill again. On the full moon day, she was even thinner than before she was pregnant.

Her waist is slim and there is not much fat on her stomach. She has recovered very well.

Fu Ran doesn't need to go out to meet guests today, but Wuyou is one month old, so he still needs to be taken out to be seen by close relatives and friends.

Madam Wei personally sent a golden longevity locket, which was quite big and substantial.

Fu Ran shook his head and his hands were very heavy.

It's really too heavy and not suitable for little Wuyou to wear.

Taking this into consideration, Old Madam Wei gave Wuyou another golden Buddha of the perfect size to hang in front of him.

The clothes Wuyou was wearing were also custom-made in advance. The bright red color was particularly festive. Her skin was already fair, and the red color made her skin look even more rosy.

So cute that you want to take a bite.

Wearing a red tiger hat embroidered with the Chinese zodiac on her head, she looks so cute that it’s a bit unfair.

Fu Ran also changed her clothes, which were the ones she wore before she got pregnant and seemed a little loose.

Nanny Xu tied her hair for her. Because her face was too pale and lacked color, she put on light makeup and lip balm. She looked much more energetic, and her eyes and brows were more delicate.

Fu Ran held Wuyou in his arms, looking at her innocent and peaceful sleeping face, and was reluctant to take his eyes away.

The guests ahead have arrived one by one.

The full moon banquet was personally organized by Old Madam Wei. Lan Yin and Wei Nian came to Chaoguang Courtyard early in the morning. Wei Nian liked Wuyou very much. She stared at Wuyou all day long and asked Wuyou every day when she would grow up and when she could play with her.

Fu Ran always answered her patiently.

Lan Yin, on the other hand, felt a little apologetic towards her daughter's persistence.

"Sister Wuyou, today is your full moon banquet. So many people are coming. It's so lively. You are still sleeping. Please wake up. I will take you to see the fun." Wei Nian held Wuyou's little hand and kept repeating how lively it was outside.

The last time the Duke's Mansion was so lively was when Wei Xuan got married.

However, the liveliness back then was different from that now. No one in the Duke of Weiguo’s Mansion was truly happy at that time.

This time, I was truly happy.

"Nian'er, I'm still too young. Even if I wake up, I can't accompany you to the front to watch the fun. If you want to go, I'll let nanny take you to see." Lan Yin said.

Wei Nian looked at Fu Ran, and Fu Ran nodded to her.

"My sister is still young. Can she play with you when she's older?"

Wei Nian then agreed with some disappointment, still wondering in her heart why her sister didn't grow up quickly and play with her.

As Mammy led her to the front yard, she could still hear her asking in confusion in her lovely voice.

"Why does my sister only eat and sleep every day? Isn't she bored?"

Lan Yin felt helpless when she heard this.

"Nian'er is really something."

"Nian'er is adorable like this. Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about it. Wuyou does nothing but eat and sleep every day." As he spoke, the sleeping Wuyou began to hum, and Fu Ran had no choice but to hand her over to the wet nurse.

The little guy really does nothing but eat and sleep.

He woke up now, he must be hungry.

The wet nurse carried Wuyou to the back room to feed her. After a while, she brought Wuyou out, who was full and continued to sleep.

Before Fu Ran could take it, Wei Lin arrived.

She came to carry Wuyou out to meet the guests.

"Many distinguished guests have come, and they all want to see Wuyou. Let me carry her out." Wei Lin took Wuyou directly from the wet nurse's hands.

Facing Wuyou, Wei Lin's expression softened a little.

"Wuyou is so handsome, just like my second brother." As she spoke, she glanced at Fu Ran.

Fu Ran was speechless.

"Yes, but no matter how much she looks like her father, she is still my daughter."

Fu Ran was feeling very angry. The child was hers, so why was he trying so hard to distance himself from her?

The gender is similar to hers.

Wei Lin choked and glared at Fu Ran. Today was the full moon banquet, and she would not argue with Fu Ran.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the front?"

Lan Yin shook her head.

"I won't go. I'll stay here with Fu Ran." She didn't like socializing and didn't know what to say to others.

Wei Lin didn't make things difficult for her and went out with Wuyou in her arms.

The meals were delivered, and Fu Ran and Lan Yin ate in Chaoguangyuan. After Wuyou was taken out, he was never brought back.

Even after Fu Ran and Lan Yin finished their lunch, no one showed up.

The wet nurse did go with them, but there were so many people in front of them, and Wuyou had to stay there for so long in such a noisy environment, so how could he sleep well?

Fu Ran was a little angry. Although today was Wuyou's full moon banquet, Wuyou was not the protagonist and did not need to go out for social events. Why let such a young child go out and show up in public?

She couldn't stay still.

"Sister-in-law, go back and rest first. I'll go to the front and take a look."

Fu Ran had her hair cut and her makeup tidied, then she left Chaoguangyuan and went to the front.

The raindrops accompanied her.

"Madam, you haven't fully recovered yet. The young lady will be fine. You don't have to make this trip."

"Wuyou is still young, and it's not appropriate for him to have much contact with all kinds of people. It's been so long since I brought him away and they haven't brought him back. I just want to go and see what they are doing." Fu Ran said as calmly as possible.

There are guests in the mansion today, so she won't make a scene too badly.

The banquet in the front yard has ended, and many guests have gone home. The remaining ones are those who have close ties with the Wei family.

Lady Shen Guogong and Shen Yan were also there.

When Lady Shen Guogong saw Fu Ran, she immediately went to meet him and asked with great concern: "I heard that you had a difficult birth. How are you recovering now?"

She always saw Shen Fengan's appearance in Fu Ran, intentionally or unintentionally, and naturally she cared more about Fu Ran.
