Marry a Duke

Chapter 138 Selection

In the carriage, Mingyue had already started looking for possible marriage partners.

Mingyue has been spoiled since she was a child, but there are also people around her who try their best to please her.

The gentle and refined cousin, the grandson of the arrogant and domineering master, the young and handsome young master of the marquis's mansion - the more Mingyue looked, the less reliable they seemed.

They only know how to play on weekdays, and even if they have some ambition, she still looks down on them.

She can force herself to find a marriage, but she cannot really let herself be unwilling and regret it for the rest of her life.

Now that there is an imperial decree, the other party will certainly not refuse easily.

but--

Fu Ran still reminded Mingyue not to look for the only child in the family.

Finally, Mingyue chose the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Zuo's family and the second son of General Mu's family.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Mingyue told Wei Xuan the news.

"Brother Xuan, tomorrow please help me call Ding Menglin from the Zuo Xiang family and Mu Yan from General Mu's mansion over. I want to meet them in person."

Wei Xuan was quite surprised.

After a few questions, Mingyue told Wei Xuan everything Fu Ran had said. At this time, Fu Ran had already returned to Chaoguangyuan, holding Wuyou in his arms.

She couldn't interfere in the affairs of Prince Shou's Mansion.

She didn't want to get involved either.

With Wei Xuan involved, it is only a matter of time before these issues are resolved.

She has her plans.

"Is that really what she said?" Wei Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow. He and Princess Shou had indeed thought about this possibility, but Princess Shou rejected it immediately.

Mingyue was unwilling to marry into the Huo family. First, she didn't want to marry far away, and second, she didn't want to be forced to marry.

If you just randomly find someone to marry in a short period of time, how is it different from being forced to marry.

There's just no need to marry far away.

Princess Shou has only one daughter, Mingyue, and she only hopes that her daughters can live a good life.

"That's exactly what Fu Ran said. I just couldn't think of it for a moment. Doesn't Brother Xuan think this is a good idea?"

Mingyue looked up at him, her eyes full of questions.

Wei Xuan patted her head and said, "Not really. If you don't want to marry into the Huo family, this is a good idea. The imperial decree doesn't have to be your offspring. Princess Shou can adopt a male from the family. If the emperor really wants to inherit the Shou Palace, he won't force her."

"I don't want to marry into the Huo family. Even if I just find someone in the capital, it's better than marrying into the Huo family. Humph, they came all the way to the capital just to have me marry into the Huo family so that they can swallow up the Shou Palace openly. I won't do as they wish and will make them make a wasted trip." Mingyue raised her little face slightly, looking aggressive.

Wei Xuan glared at her for a while, and finally said calmly: "Do you really want to meet them?"

"Really?" Mingyue was very sure.

"Well, I'll send someone to tell Princess Shou your idea later. If she has no objection, I'll bring that person to your house tomorrow and let you meet him." Wei Xuan said.

Mingyue was a little worried when she heard this. What if her mother didn't agree?

"I'll have someone go back and inform my mother about this."

Wei Xuan did not reply to her, but instead asked someone to arrange accommodation for her and Yuan Xin.

The two lived in the guest house, with adjacent rooms.

Yuan Xin said that she was here to accompany Mingyue, so she should act like one, so she needed to stay by Mingyue's side every step of the way.

The courtyard is quite close to Qingfuyuan, and you can go there to find the old lady at any time.

But it is still some distance from Chaoguangyuan.

The accommodation was arranged properly and all the missing items were replenished. A banquet was held at Qingfuyuan for dinner. The old lady invited Mingyue and Yuanxin to dine together. Wei Lin, who had received the news today, came back again.

Lan Yin, her daughter and Fu Ran were invited to dinner.

Fu Ran wanted to find an excuse to decline, but Nanny Li told her not to spoil everyone's fun and to take Wuyou with her, as the old lady was very happy.

It was quite lively with so many people together, but the old lady didn't take it to heart.

With Wei Xuan around, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Fu Ran really didn't want to face that kind of social situation. Besides, Wei Lin was back and she didn't want to see Wei Lin at all.

"I just want to be with Wuyou." She murmured while hugging her daughter.

The sound of raindrops nearby made me break out in a cold sweat.

"Madam, you can't let Madam Li hear what you said. If she tells the old lady, we will be in trouble. Madam, just go. It's just a meal. Just eat your own food."

Fu Ran glanced at Yu Di and saw how anxious she was.

"Raindrop, don't be too anxious. You're sweating."

The raindrops touched my forehead.

It really is.

She smiled awkwardly: "Madam, I am too nervous. The banquet at Qingfuyuan is about to start. Madam, you should go there quickly. It will be bad if you are late."

"No hurry." Fu Ran was indeed not as anxious as Yu Di. She called the wet nurse and asked her to feed Wuyou and change his diaper. Only after the little guy fell asleep did she carry Wuyou out of the room.

Wei Xuan was not seen in Chaoguangyuan.

I did meet Xiao Ningzi.

"Madam, the master has ordered you to go to Qingfuyuan immediately. He has already gone there."

"Yeah." Fu Ran didn't say much and went to Qingfuyuan slowly. Lan Yin and Wei Nian arrived at about the same time as her. When they met, Lan Yin and Fu Ran had exactly the same expression.

Both of them were helpless. Neither of them wanted to participate, but neither of them could refuse.

They just want to stay in their own house and spend time with their daughter instead of coming here to socialize with others.

Outside Qingfuyuan, Wei Lin's voice could be heard from afar.

She was very emotional. She had heard about Mingyue's grievances and was cursing the Huo family for being shameless and shameless on Mingyue's behalf.

"Why don't they just steal or rob? Why do they have the nerve to come to the capital? They know your father has passed away, but they shamelessly bring up the past to marry you. I think they are just wishful thinking."

Wei Lin completely stood on Mingyue's side.

The Huo family's calculations are too loud.

"Sister Lin, you are the best. The Huo family deserves to be scolded. I have been scolding them for a long time." Mingyue likes to hear people scolding the Huo family, and she joins Wei Lin in scolding them.

Madam Wei's face was full of helplessness and indulgence.

After everyone had gathered, I told them to stop arguing.

"Okay, take a break. You've been scolding for so long, your throat must be burning. Someone, come and give the princess and the young lady a bowl of Tremella soup to moisten their throats."

Madam Wei ordered.

The servant immediately agreed and brought each of them a bowl of Tremella soup.

After drinking the soup, everyone took their seats. Wei Xuan was the last one to arrive. Fu Ran was a little surprised to see him come in last. Didn’t he come to Qingfuyuan early?

"Please sit down. Princess Mingyue is going to stay in our Duke's Mansion for a while. This is a good thing. Lanyin, Furan, don't stay in the room all day. Come out more often to accompany the princess and don't let her get bored." Old Madam Wei looked at her two daughters-in-law.

Lan Yin and Fu Ran had no choice but to agree.

"Yes, mother."

The two of them sighed in their hearts. With Wei Lin here, it was not their turn to accompany her.
