Marry a Duke

Chapter 16: Sleeping Separately

Fu Ran put on makeup today, and it fit her well. She originally had a small face and fair skin, and after careful application of makeup, her eyebrows and eyes showed more color.

The pain just now made her eyes red. At this moment, she looked pitiful and distressing.

She swallowed the pain and was still a little surprised to see Wei Xuan enter the room.

He was completely forced into what happened that day. As a man, and more importantly a powerful official, he was merciful by not killing her on the spot when she was played around with like that.

"Duke." She stood up and bowed slightly.

The veil on her head had long been torn off.

Her wedding dress was not in its original place. She was probably the least bride-like bride in the entire Dayue Dynasty.

Regardless of whether she and he were willing or not, they had already become husband and wife months ago.

Therefore, tonight’s wedding night is not that important.

"What's going on?" He didn't take a step forward, but just looked at her indifferently with a pair of cold eyes.

Fu Ran didn't think that what happened in the new house could be hidden from him.

Perhaps he already knew it and just wanted to hear what she had to say.

"It was all my fault that I didn't know the etiquette and broke the rules. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me." She tried to cover up what happened tonight by downplaying it.

Wei Xuan curled his lips coldly.

"My bride has no veil and no wedding dress. Why? Does the *** family look down on the Duke's family? Or do you look down on the man you are going to marry?"

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fu Ran looked up in surprise and stared at him. He was very handsome, but his eyes and expression were really cold.

Therefore, others dared not look directly at him.

I couldn't even look at his face.

Only someone with a family background like Princess Ruhui would dare to confront him, and would fall in love with him, to the point of ignoring everyone's obstruction, to the point of going crazy.

"Are you blaming me, Duke? I was born in a humble family and had no choice but to let others arrange things for me. It was not intentional that day. I am also a victim." Fu Ran looked up at the roof.

She wanted to look up at the sky and pretend to be speechless.

Unfortunately, God does not follow people's wishes.

It is quite difficult for her to see a free world.

Seeing that he pursed his lips and remained silent, Fu Ran continued.

Wei Xuan suddenly remembered the promise she made that day in the Huguo Temple.

Even when he was reciting the sutras.

She doesn't look like a woman with a crush on Shen Fu.

However, she was from the *** Mansion, and it was normal for her to be helpless.

"You won't marry me?" He asked coldly.

Fu Ran shuddered and immediately shook his head, nonsensical, how could she not want to get married?

"It's a great blessing that the Duke is willing to marry me. How could I not want to? I don't know how happy I am in my heart, but I'm afraid that the Duke has resentment in his heart and doesn't want to see me."

"As long as you know."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around, "I won't go back to my room tonight." After saying that, he left.

Fu Ran watched him walk away. Only when the footsteps really faded away did she quietly breathe a sigh of relief. This time, she closed the door herself and bolted it from the inside.

Wei Xuan said he would not come. Wei Lin had already come to cause trouble for her, so no one else would come.

She planned to change her clothes, but the dowry sent by the *** family was in another room. She searched the bridal chamber thoroughly but could not find any clothes to change into.

The Duke's Mansion is indeed going too far.

She had just arrived and didn't know anyone, nor could she order anyone around.

She raised her hand and sniffed. There was no foul smell, but there was a smell of blood.

There was no water in the house.

Fu then stepped back and fell on the bed, spreading his arms and legs. No matter what tomorrow would bring, he had to get enough rest today so that he would have the strength to deal with tomorrow.

She had just squinted her eyes for a moment when there was a knock on the door.

She had no choice but to get up and open the door.

There was a girl in her twenties standing outside the door, looking at Fu Ran with a calm expression.

"Madam, I will come and treat your wound."

Fu Ran was quite surprised and let her into the house.

"But Miss San asked you to come over?" she asked.

The girl glanced at her.

"No." And that was all.

Since the other party didn't want to say more, Fu Ran didn't ask any more questions. It would be more convenient if it was a girl. If someone was kind enough to ask for a doctor and it was a man, she didn't care.

If it got out that the wife of Duke Weiguo had to invite a doctor on her wedding night and even lift her clothes, it would be too embarrassing.

Fu Ran asked the girl's name.

The girl glanced at her again.

"Su Yu."

"Miss Su, thank you. I will always remember your great kindness." She lifted her clothes and untied the straps.

The next moment, a bloody wound appeared in front of Su Yu.

Su Yu was a female doctor. She cleaned the wound with water and applied medicine.

From the shape of the wound, you can guess how it happened.

During the whole process, she didn't say a word. She applied the medicine, changed the bandages, and left with her medicine box.

The maid who came in after her took the blood out again and closed the door.

The room was quiet.

Although I didn't have the chance to take a bath, I did feel much more comfortable after changing the medicine. The medicine Su Yu gave me was refreshing and cool, and the wound didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Fu Ran fell onto the bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

*

Duke's Mansion, study.

Su Yu came over directly carrying the medicine box.

Bi'an wanted to take her medicine box, but Su Yu avoided him.

"I just wanted to help you mention it out of kindness." Bi'an touched his nose. His kindness was really taken for granted.

Su Yu didn't even look at him.

When I entered the room, Wei Xuan was sitting at the desk.

Su Yu had a cold expression on her face. Although not as cold and stern as Wei Xuan, her expression was cold enough among women.

"Madam was injured by a sharp dagger." Su Yu said.

"Dagger? But suicide?" Wei Xuan asked.

Bi'an became more and more confused the more he listened. Why were they talking about suicide?

"What? Madam committed suicide? Impossible. If she wanted to commit suicide, she wouldn't have waited until now." She should have ended her life on the day the accident happened, so as not to bring disgrace to the Duke's Mansion.

Wei Xuan looked at him coldly.

"go out."

Bi'an had no choice but to leave the study and wait in the yard.

"Judging from the direction, it's impossible that she committed suicide. She was injured by someone." Su Yu replied.

Wei Xuan was silent for a moment and asked Su Yu to leave first.

Su Yu left the study carrying the medicine box.

Bi'an looked at her several times.

She's a pretty girl, why is she so cold?

That night, Wei Xuan slept in the study.

The next morning, Fu Ran was awakened. Finally, someone knew that she should change her clothes, and the maid from the Duke's Mansion brought her a new set of clothes.

Fu Ran put it on and it fit her well. Compared with the maid's clothes in the *** mansion, the material of this dress was much better and the color was bright, which made her skin look white and tender.

She was originally good-looking and young, still in her prime.

In the past, I was also wearing the clothes of a maid in the *** Mansion. The name of a maid covered everything.

Now she truly shows her true self.

"Madam, the old lady is waiting for you to come over and pay your respects, but please don't make her unhappy on the first day."
