Marry a Duke

Chapter 7 Don’t save me until you die

This matter should have been investigated by the people in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, after all, the incident happened in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

*** has spoken, and *** will investigate. The Grand Tutor's Mansion can't say anything, but today's Grand Tutor's birthday banquet is originally a happy event, and it would be too embarrassing to make such a fuss.

***'s intervention was suspected of shielding Princess Ruhui, and at the suggestion of Old Master Huo, Duke Weiguo took over to investigate the matter.

Madam Huo and Madam Cheng had suffered great grievances, all of which were provoked by Princess Ruhui, but they did not dare to face Princess Ruhui directly.

Madam Huo wanted to keep the peace, but Princess Ruhui insisted that the emperor make the decision for her and convict Madam Cheng of disrespect.

Princess Ruhui was arrogant and willful, and acted arbitrarily, without considering that General Cheng was the hero of this event.

"Who hit you?" His cold voice seemed to be filled with ice, chilling.

"It was a time of chaos, so I didn't see clearly."

"Princess Ruhui pointed out that it was Madam Cheng who beat you, but Madam Cheng was so far away from you, how could she jump over and beat you?" Bi'an added.

He felt that the maid in front of him was no ordinary person, as she had been in the Huguo Temple before.

She was also with the Grand Tutor's Mansion this time, and she could even serve the empress.

It can be seen that she must be the ***'s confidant, not just a second-class maid in public.

Bi'an made it clear, what else could Fu Ran say?

"Since everyone knows the truth, why do you keep asking? I am just a servant, my words are not taken seriously, and nothing I say counts."

Her brows were slightly furrowed, her face was slightly pale, and she looked pitiful.

"Even if someone wants to kill me, it's just a matter of words." She looked up, her eyes moist. She lamented her miserable life in her heart and that she had no say in anything.

Bi'an frowned.

"Who are you pretending to be pitiful for?"

"Big brother, I haven't offended you. Am I pretending to be pitiful? I am really pitiful." Fu Ran was still a little timid. He didn't dare to curse loudly and just muttered a few words.

The Duke of Wei in front of her was on the battlefield, and killing people was not the right path. How could she dare to offend him easily?

Little did she know that Duke Weiguo had an extraordinary hearing and he heard everything she muttered.

"Do you have anything else to say?" The cold voice sounded again.

"I am innocent." Fu Ran said.

Duke Weiguo said nothing more and left with Bi'an. The door closed again, and Fu Ran didn't even have time to ask when she could leave.

She sighed, fortunately she had eaten about 80% full when she sat down, so she could still hold on for a while.

Half an hour later, the door was slammed open.

Fu Ran woke up suddenly, and before he could come to his senses, he saw Princess Ruhui coming like a demon and ordering two maids to lift Fu Ran up.

Fu Ran's heart sank. This guy didn't seem like he was going to let her go.

"Bitch, teach her a lesson." Princess Ruhui gave an order.

Hong Zhao and Hong Xiu started to hit Fu Ran with their fists and kicks. All Fu Ran could do was to protect his head and face and avoid the two's heavy blows.

After a while, Princess Ruhui called for a stop.

Fu Ran was already covered in scars.

"My Lord, what did I do wrong to deserve such a severe punishment?"

"How dare you make up stories about me in front of Duke Weiguo, accusing me of beating you and making me lose face."

What was even more infuriating was that she was mocked by Ji, and Grand Tutor Huo even wanted her to apologize to Madam Huo and Ji.

Humph, they deserve it.

Fu Ran was speechless for a while. Duke Weiguo was trying to send her to death with just a few words.

"My lady, I didn't say anything."

"Are you saying that Duke Weiguo has wronged you? Who do you think you are?" Princess Ruhui looked at her as if she were an ant. It would be effortless for her to kill her.

"Now you have brought disgrace upon this princess. The *** Mansion will not tolerate you. Come, break her legs and throw her out to fend for herself."

At the princess's command, Hongxiu and Hongzhao picked up the sticks outside the door, which they had prepared long ago.

Fu Ran's face was pale. He had just been beaten up. He would be fine after some rest.

If her legs were broken, her life would be ruined.

She ignored the pain in her body, struggled to get up, used all her strength to push the two maids away, and rushed out.

Even if she couldn't escape far, she would still try. At least Master Huo looked like an honest man. Perhaps, if she begged for mercy from him, she could still escape.

There was someone outside the door. Fu Ran couldn't stop in time and bumped into that person's arms heavily. She groaned in pain, but the other person was fine.

Duke Wei pulled her up, and a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

Not only the Duke of Wei came, but also Grand Tutor Huo and others.

Fu Ran wanted to ask for help from Grand Tutor Huo, but Duke Weiguo had already pulled her behind him.

When Princess Ruhui ran out and saw so many people, her face changed immediately.

***'s expression was so dark that ink could drip out of it, and she gave Aunt Qiu a look.

Nanny Qiu immediately stepped forward and was about to take Fu Ran back.

Duke Weiguo stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Everyone heard clearly what the princess said just now. This girl didn't say anything. The princess said everything that needed to be said."

Princess Ruhui looked at Duke Weiguo in disbelief. It turned out that he was bluffing just now and now he brought so many people with him just to get evidence.

"Wei Xuan, how could you do this to me?" There was a look of obsessive pain in Ruhui's eyes.

Her favorite man is Wei Xuan, but he plotted against her for others.

"Shut up." *** scolded, "Old Master, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. The child is still young and ignorant. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back."

"Today, I am here to apologize to Madam Huo and Madam Cheng. I will punish my daughter severely for what she did."

Now that *** had spoken, Madam Huo and Madam Cheng could not continue to hold on.

After Grand Tutor Huo gave Princess Ruhui a few words of instruction, Aunt Qiu was about to take Princess Ruhui back, and Aunt Qiu called Fu Ran.

"Fu Ran, go back."

Fu Ran shuddered, his hands subconsciously grasping the hem of Duke Weiguo's clothes, his eyes trembling.

"Duke Weiguo saved me. If I go back, I will be beaten to death."

When she raised her hand, the fragrance wafted over again.

Wei Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

She caused the princess to lose such a big person, even the *** would put all the blame on her. By then, not to mention her legs, she would really lose her life.

Seeing that the Duke of Wei was unmoved, Fu Ran did not dare to ask Master Huo for help again. Asking others for help at this time would undoubtedly be further discrediting Master Huo.

Then she really would have no place to stand.

She quietly loosened her hand, and under the gaze of Nanny Qiu, slowly followed.

The small body trembled slightly due to the pain, and as it walked forward, its body slowly straightened up.

When he walked to the corridor, Fu Ran looked back and saw Duke Wei talking to Grand Tutor Huo, who also looked over there.

Fu Ran looked up at the sky, muttering to himself.

If she died, that man would be the culprit for watching her die without helping.

Having power but no compassion.
