Marry a Duke

Chapter 264 The House is Surrounded

Therefore, the soldiers defending the city had informed each other in advance that if they saw the carriage of the Princess's Mansion, they would clear the city gate from a distance and let the carriage pass directly.

Don't dilly-dally.

But they waited until dark, and the princess's carriage did not return.

They thought that Princess Ruhui had no intention of returning today after leaving the city.

Now people from the Princess's Mansion came to inquire again.

Could it be——

Did something happen to Princess Ruhui?

The soldiers defending the city were also very nervous, fearing that innocent people would be harmed.

After all, Princess Ruhui left the city right under their noses.

After searching the entire city, Princess Ruhui was nowhere to be found until the next morning.

The eldest princess was anxious.

Immediately order a city-wide search.

They wanted to close the city gates, but no one had seen Ruhui.

The eldest princess went to the Huguo Temple in person.

After meeting the host, I learned that Ruhui had an argument with the women from the Duke of Weiguo's mansion yesterday, and they even pushed and fought each other.

The princess immediately understood that this matter was closely related to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

The eldest princess immediately led people to surround the entire Weiguo Mansion.

She led her men into the Duke of Wei's mansion in a menacing manner.

"Wei Xuan, if you don't hand over Ruhui today, I will destroy the Duke of Wei's mansion to the ground."

The eldest princess was furious.

A murderous aura.

No matter how bad Ruhui is, she is still her precious daughter.

Only she can scold, no one else will touch her.

Now Ruhui has been missing for a night, without any trace.

Yesterday, after Ruhui had an argument with them, she disappeared. With Ruhui's personality, it is impossible for her to be so calm.

She had already made a scene.

"What's the matter, Princess?" Old Madam Wei came out first to stop the Princess.

The poison in Wei Xuan's body has not been cured yet, and his body is still weak.

"We, the Duke of Weiguo Mansion, haven't committed any big mistakes. Besides, if Princess Ruhui is a grown-up person and she goes missing, the princess should have looked for her everywhere. Why is she putting the blame on my Wei family?" Old Madam Wei asked bluntly.

"Whenever the princess encounters trouble, she always blames the Wei family. Why? Does the Wei family owe the princess anything? My husband and eldest son both died for your family's kingdom. They were loyal and brave, fearless of hardship, and even risked their lives. How come everyone can bully the Wei family now?"

Every word that Old Lady Wei said was directed at the eldest princess.

Madam Wei has always been a powerful person, but over the years, she has also been known for her kindness.

Never did anything to offend anyone.

But something really happened to the Wei family.

She is not afraid of anyone.

Even if the emperor came today, he couldn't just accuse the Wei family of a crime.

"Madam Wei, what you said is directed at me. I'm afraid you've even accused the emperor in the palace. The old Duke and Wei Qing died defending their country, but they received a lot of compensation after their death. The emperor also reused the Duke of Wei's mansion because of this. Why? There are so many soldiers who died on the battlefield. They were willing to die to protect their country."

The eldest princess never felt that the royal family should feel sorry for the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

That's the way they should go.

Isn't the final fate of a military general to die on the battlefield?

Now Old Madam Wei even dares to use it to seek credit.

Humph.

The eldest princess was extremely disdainful.

"Yesterday, your two daughters-in-law and your daughter had an argument with Ruhui at the Huguo Temple. Afterwards, Ruhui disappeared. They were the last people to see Ruhui. They are the most suspicious. Now, I want to search the mansion."

The eldest princess was very tough.

Let all your men search.

As long as Ruhui is found in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, she will have people raze the mansion to the ground.

"Come here, search this palace carefully."

"you--."

Madam Wei obviously couldn't stop her.

The eldest princess brought too many people.

When Wei Xuan came out of Chaoguangyuan, people were already searching everywhere.

Fu Ran was right next to Wei Xuan.

"What should we do? They will definitely find it out." She tried to keep her face calm. "Is there any underground tunnel or secret room in the courtyard where Hua Mo lives?"

If there is, we really need to hide that person first.

Wei Xuan was not panicked at all.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to inform Hua Mo, he has plenty of ways to hide the person."

Don't forget, Hua Mo is a doctor.

Not only is he a doctor who can cure diseases.

He is also a doctor who can treat the face.

Most people don't dare to enter his medicine room.

"With so many people looking for him, if he is found, we should let Gaomian take him away and hide first."

"It's even more dangerous to take them out of the mansion. I'm afraid that the people around our Duke's Mansion are all brought by the Princess."

Sure enough, Qian Wu came to report.

The people brought by the eldest princess have surrounded the Duke of Weiguo's mansion.

The people around also began to get agitated.

With such a big scene, everyone was speculating that something big was going to happen.

"Then..." Fu Ran saw that Wei Xuan was not nervous at all. She convinced herself that nothing would happen. She trusted him to do the job. "I'll go to my sister-in-law. If the princess wants to interrogate everyone, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will lie."

Wei Xuan glanced at her.

nodded.

Let Qiaoer follow.

At Qingyin Courtyard, Lan Yin had already received the news, and she even closed the gate of the courtyard. Fu Ran knocked on the door for a while before someone came to open it.

Lan Yin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Fu Ran.

"I heard that the princess has come to our house. Will they find the princess soon?" Lan Yin lowered her voice and said, "If they do find her, the princess will definitely come to the emperor to ask for his help. Our Wei family cannot escape responsibility."

Lan Yin thought about it and it was the worst possible outcome.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic. Wei Xuan will not think of a solution. He believes in Doctor Hua and is sure that they will not be able to find it." Fu Ran comforted her.

"Now that the princess knows that it was you, Wei Lin, and I who went to the Huguo Temple together yesterday, if she can't find Ruhui, she will definitely interrogate us one by one. I'm worried that you'll be scared and show your cowardice, and the princess will see through it."

Lan Yin swallowed nervously.

She is indeed not good at lying.

"What if, what if -- I don't know if I can do it."

"Sister-in-law." Fu Ran held her arm and looked straight into her eyes, not letting her dodge. "Look at me, listen to me. We were forced into this matter. Otherwise, it would be Wei Xuan who went to find the princess today. But with Wei Xuan's current condition, I'm afraid he may not be able to seek justice for us."

Lan Yin thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

"So, it's not just for us, but also for Nian'er and Wuyou. They are so young and need a stable environment for them to grow up healthily. As long as we bite the bullet and get down the mountain, we will part ways with Princess Ruhui. Don't say anything else and try to stay calm."

The eldest princess is someone who knows how to manipulate people's hearts.

Lan Yin took a deep breath, and thinking of Nian'er, she felt motivated.

"Okay, I won't let the princess see the flaw. I will convince myself that Ruhui's disappearance has nothing to do with us."

The two of them didn't talk for long before the eldest princess's men arrived at Qingyinyuan.
