Marry a Duke

Chapter 158 Unhappy

Wei Xuan's face darkened slightly.

Fu Ran's expression also froze.

She read the book very seriously. The author of the travelogue wrote very well, describing the customs of various places with humorous words and tone, and also interspersed some folk stories.

She was so fascinated by the pictures that even after Wuyou fell asleep, she still didn't feel sleepy at all and planned to watch two more pictures before going to sleep.

No matter how bright the lights in the room are, reading late at night will hurt your eyes.

In this age when even glasses are hard to find, she still cherishes her eyes. She doesn't want to be in a state where everyone is just a hazy shadow in her eyes.

"You, you're back. I was so engrossed in watching the movie that I was startled by you." Her tone softened a bit. She explained and looked cautiously at Wuyou's little bed.

Fortunately, Wuyou was still asleep and was not woken by her voice.

"It's late at night, why are you still not asleep? You are wasting your eyesight here just to read this?" Wei Xuan directly pulled her hand away and casually flipped through a few pages.

It is indeed a leisure book.

When he was young, there was a time when he liked to read these leisure books. He found them interesting and there was no pressure in reading them. But later he realized that reading them was useless and instead wasted a lot of his time, so he gradually read less.

"It's quite beautiful. I was late by accident. I also asked Qiao'er not to come and call me." Qiao'er was on guard tonight and she obeyed the instructions very well.

What she says is what she says.

If Raindrop was on guard tonight, he would have come in several times and asked her to go to bed early.

She closed the book and placed the two books aside in the cabinet, treating them with great care and treasure.

Then he yawned, kicked off his shoes and got into bed.

"I'm really sleepy. I'm going to sleep first." She rolled to the inside of the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

Wei Xuan frowned, walked to the small bed, looked at Wuyou for a while, and then went to the bed. Fu Ran was really asleep with steady breathing.

He had something to ask her.

Seeing how she was, he didn't insist on waking her up.

The next morning, Fu Ran slept late.

When I got up, there was no one in the room.

I didn’t even know when Wuyou was taken away.

As expected, I can’t stay up late.

She saw the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, her face was ruined by staying up late.

After breakfast, I played with Wuyou and Wei Nian for a while.

The Shen family sent an invitation, inviting her to have dinner at a less busy restaurant in the name of Shen Yan and Wei Lin.

Fu Ran agreed.

When Wei Nian heard that Fu Ran was going out to play again tomorrow, she also wanted to go.

"Aunt, just take me with you. I will be good and obedient. I won't make any noise or run around. I can also take care of my sister Wuyou." Wei Nian pulled Fu Ran's clothes and shook it pitifully.

Children love to play by nature.

It’s normal for a kid like Wei Niancai to be playful.

When she gets older, it will be inconvenient for her to leave the house.

but--

Wei Nian is not her daughter, so she cannot be the master of Wei Nian.

"Sister-in-law, please go with us tomorrow." Fu Ran invited Lan Yin to join us.

Lan Yin shook her head and refused.

"I heard that your biological brother is Mr. Shen's cousin. They invited you out so that you can meet your biological brother. For me, he is a stranger and it is not convenient."

Lanyin has to be more careful now that she has lost her husband.

You can't have anything bad on you, otherwise, you'll easily be criticized by others.

She loved her husband deeply. Even though Wei Qing had passed away, she could not see anyone else in her heart. She would never let her husband bear the infamy that he did not deserve because of her momentary negligence.

"Sister-in-law is right. I didn't think it through." Fu Ran nodded.

But Wei Nian didn't understand.

"Mom, Second Aunt, what's the big deal? I want to go. I want to go." She was small but smart and knew that Second Aunt had agreed.

Now, as long as her mother agrees, she can go with them.

So she took Lan Yin's hand and kept shaking it.

"Mother, just let Nian'er go with Second Aunt. I promise that I will always follow Second Aunt and will never run around." The little girl's eyes were moist, and it was obvious that if Lan Yin disagreed, she would burst into tears.

Lan Yin was in a dilemma.

She didn't want her daughter to go.

But she was afraid that her daughter would be sad.

"Will you really be good?" She finally compromised, unable to bear seeing her daughter sad and crying.

Wei Nian promised immediately.

"Fu Ran, I'll leave it to you. Take her with you tomorrow. I'll let Hui Niang go with you. If this girl is really noisy and disobedient, let Hui Niang send her back first."

Hui Niang was a servant in Lanyin Courtyard.

He is big and strong.

"Okay." Fu Ran couldn't help but laugh.

She sent someone back and promised to attend the invitation on time tomorrow.

That night, Wei Xuan came back even later.

The Daliang envoys entered the city, and the Ministry of Rites had already arranged their accommodation. There were more than 30 people coming this time, including five Daliang envoys and a prince.

It was this prince who came forward to marry Princess Otsuki.

So tonight, the Dayue Kingdom held a banquet to entertain the envoys from Daliang.

Princess Lianxing was also at the banquet, and even Princess Chang and Princess Ruhui were at the table.

After Fu Ran's experience the night before, she learned her lesson and stopped watching with fascination. When Wuyou fell asleep, she also went to bed early.

And let the raindrops extinguish all the lights in the house except one.

That night, Wei Xuan came back too late and did not enter Fu Ran's room.

The next morning, Fu Ran got up early. He had to keep an appointment with the Shen family today, so he had to prepare in advance.

For this purpose, she specially picked out a bright dress to express her mood. Wei Nian also came over early in the morning. She wanted to have breakfast with Fu Ran. Lan Yin couldn't stop her, so she let her come over.

Wei Xuan came back late last night and got up late too.

When he walked out of the room, he saw Fu Ran and Nian'er wearing going-out clothes and talking to each other in their ears.

Wei Xuan glanced at Xiao Ningzi.

Xiao Ningzi immediately stepped forward to report.

"Master, you came back too late last night, so you didn't tell me. Yesterday, the Shen family sent an invitation, inviting Madam to come out of the house today to keep an appointment. Madam has already reported to the old lady, and the old lady agreed." He Xiao Ningzi told the truth.

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes.

The Shen family would not suddenly invite Fu Ran over if there was nothing going on.

Moreover, even if they were to invite him, they would only invite the couple for a week, and would never invite Fu Ran alone.

"Do you know where they are having the banquet?" Wei Xuan asked.

"I know. I took a look at the invitation sent yesterday. They are hosting a banquet at Yue Tower in the west of the city." Xiao Ningzi was very cunning. When he met the doorman delivering the letter at the door, he took it and took a look at it before asking the doorman to deliver it to his wife.

Wei Xuan didn't say anything and just walked out.

Fu Ran was relieved that he didn't see Wei Xuan. If he was there, he would have to explain if he asked.

After a quick breakfast, Qian Wu drove the carriage and took Wei Nian and Wuyou to Yue Tower in the west of the city.
