Marry a Duke

Chapter 177 I Want 2

Weird.

Fu Ran did not continue to argue with him, because he would not be able to watch his good sister come to his house and accuse her for several days.

I heard that the person Nadu finally chose was Ruhui.

Rather than Princess Lianxing.

Fu Ran went out today with Yuchi Mingxiu and saw the house he bought. The environment of the house is really nice.

She also plans to look around and buy a house like this.

In this world, it would be great if she had a home of her own.

"Our home is in Xuzhou, covering a large area. There is a small lake in the backyard, a pavilion in the lake, a large training ground, and a whole mountain in the back. When my parents come, we will go home together. You will definitely like it." Yuchi Mingxiu did not regard this temporarily rented small house as his own home.

It's just a temporary resting place.

The place that Yuchi Mingxiu mentioned is really attractive.

"Okay, it's such a wonderful place, I must see it with my own eyes and stay there for a few days."

"I can live here for the rest of my life."

After looking around the house, they went to the teahouse outside to drink tea.

Today Fu Ran only let Qian Wu drive the carriage and didn't even bring Qiao'er.

Qian Wu was guarding nearby and did not go forward.

She and Yuchi Mingxiu found a slightly secluded seat in the teahouse, ordered two pots of tea and some snacks, and sat there listening to books, or more importantly, people chatting.

We were still talking about something that has been very popular in Beijing recently.

The envoys from Daliang came to Beijing to seek marriage with Princess Dayue, but they did not seem to be interested in Princess Lianxing. They were attracted by Princess Ruhui instead.

"I heard that Princess Ruhui has taken a liking to her. The imperial decree will be issued soon. It's good that Princess Lianxing doesn't have to marry to Daliang. We have seen Princess Lianxing. What will happen if such a weak person marries to Daliang?"

"That's right. Princess Ruhui has a good personality. She won't let them take advantage of her. She might even be able to gain some benefits for Dayue Nation from Daliang."

"Poor Princess Xing, if she doesn't marry, then her return would be of no value at all."

People only know a little, not much.

They only talked about the little information they knew.

This is enough.

Fu Ran took a sip of tea. She really had to go out and see the world. No one in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would tell her the news.

"Master Yuchi——"

"What are you talking about? Just call me brother."

Fu Ran hesitated for a moment, but still called out, "Brother, do you think the emperor will issue an edict to grant the marriage this time? Once the edict is issued, it cannot be changed."

Yuchi Mingxiu has his own opinion.

"Now the people are spreading this word one by one. However, as long as the imperial decree is not issued, there will still be changes. How can the people of Dayue Country let them choose at will? Wouldn't that lower Dayue's status?"

According to him, there is no need to marry a princess or a county lady.

Choose one of humble origin and give her the title of princess to marry.

It can be considered as coping.

Daliang's ambition is obvious. If we really send the princess and the king's daughter over there, wouldn't that give Daliang a handle?

"That's true, but some people of noble status want to marry." Fu Ran ate a piece of dessert, "No matter who gets married or not, I just hope that this marriage will make the temporarily calmed relationship between the two countries more relaxed, and there will be no more wars in the short term. What the people need is peace and prosperity."

In times of war, human life is worthless.

Just then, someone spoke.

"I heard that the prince of Daliang has a big appetite and wants to marry both Princess Ruhui and Princess Lianxing at the same time. Tsk tsk, he doesn't even take a piss to look at his ugly face, and he wants to marry both the princess and the princess of Dayue at the same time. Give him face."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused enthusiastic response.

Fu Ran and Yuchi Mingxiu looked at each other.

It was too noisy around them, so the two of them had to talk close to each other. If they were far away, it would be hard to hear clearly.

"Brother, I just want to ask, will the marriage between Daliang and Dayue have any impact on Xuzhou and the Yuchi family?" she asked.

Yuchi Mingxiu thought for a moment before speaking.

"There won't be any impact in the short term. Even if it's a marriage alliance, there won't be any movement within three to five years. The reason we sent the princess to marry was because we were worried that the other party would use tricks and take the princess as a hostage to threaten us in return."

"If even Princess Ruhui was sent over, everyone knows that Princess Ruhui is the eldest princess's only daughter, precious and treasured. There is no way she would be left as a hostage in Daliang. This must have been discussed carefully."

Makes sense.

Fu Ran nodded.

"However, it may not be effective over time. Daliang has great ambitions. This time, the Duke of Wei has severely frustrated their morale. There are too many casualties. They need more time to recuperate. If they want to fight again, they have to wait for three to five years."

"After three to five years, maybe they will come back and invade my border again. Everyone in Daliang, from top to bottom, covets the land of Dayue." After all, the land in Daliang is barren.

The land of Dayue is vast and fertile.

"My parents have been rushing all the way. In three to five days, they will arrive in the capital. As long as our family recognizes each other, you can go back to Xuzhou with us and live there for a year or so."

Fu Ran really liked what Yuchi Mingxiu said.

"Okay, when mom and dad come, I'll take Wuyou back to Yuchi's house with you guys."

I won’t come then.

Send someone to deliver a divorce letter to the capital.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. I don’t believe that Wei Xuan will come to make trouble again.

Thinking of this, Fu Ran felt much more cheerful.

After staying in the teahouse for half a day, Yuchi Mingxiu wanted to send her back personally, but was rejected by Fu Ran.

"We haven't completely recognized each other yet. I know you are my brother, but others don't know. Rumors can hurt people. Brother, go back first."

Yuchi Mingxiu had no choice but to go along with her.

Fu Ran got on the carriage and was not in a hurry to return to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

She went to the villa.

After Princess Lianxing returned to the capital, she lived in the palace for a few days and then moved to a villa outside the palace.

She had been living in Fengxian Tower since she was a child, and she didn't have her own princess residence. She came and went like a passerby.

Lian Xing didn't take the rumors outside seriously.

"Madam, we're here." Qian Wu stopped the carriage in front of the villa. Fu Ran got off the carriage. Qian Wu stepped forward to show his identity, and the doorman went in to report to Princess Lianxing.

Fu Ran waited outside for a while, and the servant beside Princess Lianxing came over to welcome her in.

Qian Wu was waiting outside.

Princess Lianxing lives in a small courtyard at the back of the villa. She is the only one living there at the moment, but normally she does not live alone.

"Madam Weiguo, please take a seat." Princess Lianxing's simple and elegant makeup and the casualness and tranquility she exudes make people feel calm.

Fu Ran thanked him and sat down.

"I hope I didn't disturb Princess Lianxing by visiting so suddenly."

"How could that be? I have never had anyone close to me in the capital. If I don't leave the house, I live alone with my maids and guards. I'm happy that you're here, so there's someone to talk to."
