Marry a Duke

Chapter 245: Dog Relying on the Power of Others

There are too many people attending the banquet today, and everyone has seen a good show.

No matter how good the singers from the Liucai Opera Troupe are, can they be as good as the play just now?

I’m afraid it’s gone.

Although the people present couldn't say it clearly, but -

They still want to see what happens next.

Everyone walked towards the stage. The seats had already been allocated, and the people from the Duke of Wei's Mansion were naturally in the front row.

And leave enough space for them.

He just wanted to leave the seat vacant so that everyone would know that no one from the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion dared to show up.

The play is brilliant.

Fu Ran watched with great interest.

"I never expected that the plays sung by this troupe are so different from those of others." She had attended other people's banquets before and also invited troupes. The level of their performances was acceptable, but none of them sang as well as the people from the Liucai Troupe.

The chief is the chief. That voice and that appearance are simply hard to find in the world.

No wonder it is so difficult to hire a popular opera troupe.

The Liucai Opera Troupe is not restricted to one place, but moves around throughout the month.

Never stay in one place for too long.

Because of this, their reputation is well-known throughout Dayue.

"Do you like watching?" Wei Xuan had no interest in opera, but seeing that Fu Ran was fascinated by it, he might consider inviting Liu Cai to perform in the Weiguo Mansion.

"I like to watch it, don't you? Look at how beautiful she looks." Fu Ran said frankly, without any hesitation, although there were many pairs of eyes staring at them from time to time -

The eldest princess was probably not in the mood to listen to the opera, and was concentrating on guessing why Wei Xuan came.

Ruhui was so angry that she had no mood to listen to the opera at all.

Fu Ran also asked Shen Fengan in the back row to listen to the opera carefully.

As for Yuchi Xinxin, she tried several times to say hello to Shen Fengan, but Shen Fengan didn't even look at her.

When she was needed, she took advantage of the situation.

Who needs her now?

Even looking at her would be redundant.

The Liucai Opera Troupe performed two shows in a row.

The Princess's Mansion arranged a buffet banquet and the chef invited was also very famous in the capital.

After one performance, there was a second performance and the dishes were already served.

It is very thoughtful to allow the guests to eat and watch at the same time.

The eldest princess sent someone to invite Wei Xuan.

"Duke Weiguo, the princess invites you."

"Where are you going?" Fu Ran immediately protected Wei Xuan like a child. If the princess invited people over privately, there would be no good things.

The steward of the Princess's Mansion glared at Fu Ran coldly.

She used to be just a maid working under him, but now she has eyes on top of her head.

"The princess invites Duke Weiguo to the study to discuss matters. As for Duke Weiguo's wife, she should stay here and listen to the opera. She will be sent over after the princess and Duke Weiguo have finished discussing matters," said the steward.

Fu Ran did not follow his arrangement.

"My husband is in a weak state and has only recently gotten a little better. He can't leave home without someone."

The steward's eyes turned cold.

"Madam Weiguo means that there is no one in the Princess's residence?"

As the manager of the Princess's Mansion, people from outside had to bow their heads three points when they saw him, and even the officials in the court mostly tried to curry favor with him when they saw him.

I hope he will have the opportunity to speak well of them in front of the princess.

But this lowly servant not only forgot her own origins, but also dared to question them.

"There are people in the Princess's Mansion, but are they all the wife of the Duke of Wei?" Fu Ran didn't give the steward any face. "Steward Liu, I haven't seen you for a while. You are in charge of the outer courtyard, and you are more powerful than the ministers in the court. In front of you are the Duke of Wei and his wife. What? Do you still have to listen to the orders of a servant of the Princess's Mansion?"

The word "servant" is spoken with extra emphasis.

Extra harsh.

Manager Liu's face looked gloomy.

No one had ever dared to slander his status in the Princess's Mansion like this.

He would not change this position even if it meant a seventh-rank official rank.

"Madam, Duke Weiguo, I represent the eldest princess. What? The eldest princess cannot make any requests? The eldest princess only said that she wanted to see Duke Weiguo, but she didn't say she wanted to see you." Steward Liu refused to compromise at all.

Obviously, Fu Ran was nothing in his eyes.

"Then we won't go." Fu Ran leaned against Wei Xuan, "My husband came to our house for a banquet to listen to opera. Apart from listening to opera, there is nothing else to discuss. Princess, you should go find someone else."

Manager Liu was extremely angry.

"You--, you dare to be the master of Duke Weiguo." Facing Duke Weiguo, Manager Liu's attitude still changed, "Duke Weiguo, please follow me."

Wei Xuan didn't move at all.

Didn't even give him a glance.

"Didn't you hear what my wife said? The dog took advantage of the power of the master and mistakenly thought he was a human." Wei Xuan's words were colder than ice. "As a steward of the Princess's Mansion, you dare not take my wife seriously. How can you take the Duke of this country seriously?"

Wei Xuan gently squeezed Fu Ran's hand.

"The lady whom the Duke holds dear and cherishes is being ridiculed by you. It seems that the Princess's Mansion should consider replacing someone else as the manager. Perhaps the Duke should suggest to the Princess that an incompetent person like you is not fit to sit in such a high position."

As soon as these words came out, Manager Liu's forehead was covered with sweat.

He has been tricked by the Duke and Duchess of Weiguo.

Now whatever he says is wrong.

If the Duke of Weiguo really said something in front of the princess, the princess would not bother to find out the truth of the matter, and she would really replace someone directly.

Even though he had worked in the Princess's Mansion for more than ten years, the Princess could change him at will.

Manager Liu had been gone for a long time and the princess became impatient and sent a nanny over.

The nanny's attitude was quite good and she apologized to Wei Xuan and Fu Ran.

And he made it clear that Manager Liu would be punished.

Invite Fu Ran over as well.

Fu Ran then pushed Wei Xuan forward.

If the princess dares to invite them, they will go.

However, Fu Ran had someone inform Jin Zhao in advance, and Qiao'er was also watching nearby.

There are many people here today, so we have to be careful. The princess doesn't dare to do anything blatantly.

Unless she really wanted to break up in front of everyone.

Fu Ran was still a little worried.

However, Wei Xuan was not worried at all.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

"How can I not be afraid? Have you forgotten the princess's methods? She can use any dark methods. Although I have avoided her several times, I have also been tricked twice."

Just two times they were hurt even more.

Once he was pushed to the bed, and once Wei Xuan was almost killed.

If it happens again, even if both sides suffer losses, it will still be a loss.

"Otherwise, let's just leave and say that you're not feeling well and need to go back to see a doctor." Fu Ran thought that leaving was the best option.

"You can leave for a while, but you can't leave forever, Fu Ran, I have to face what I have to face. I will never back off. If the eldest princess wants to see me, then I will see her."

The nanny in front looked back from time to time, probably because she was afraid that they would run away halfway.

Seeing that he spoke so confidently, Fu Ran seemed to have confidence in his thoughts.

"If they start fighting, I will protect you." But she didn't know how many she could defeat. "When you find a chance, leave first." She couldn't resist too many people.
