Marry a Duke

Chapter 54 Wei Xuan, Get Out of the Way

Fu Ran had been hiding all the way. Since she came to this world, she had hardly any chance to go out alone. The few times she went out were all in daytime. She depicted the world with her eyes.

Keep it in mind more or less.

But very limited.

She walked along the wall and hid for a while when she encountered a dark place.

Passing by a civilian's house, she saw some clothes that had not been put away at night, so she took one and changed herself in the dark.

The bun on her head was also changed.

His face was smeared with wood ash from the corner of the wall.

Now it seems that she is no longer the wife of the Duke of Weiguo.

But now she doesn't have a household registration card, and she can't leave the city easily without an identity.

She went out of the city several times, either with the *** or with the Wei family. For such aristocratic families, no one dared to check them easily even at the city gate.

She did not need to show any identification documents.

But now she is the only one here, and the soldiers guarding the city will definitely ask her to show her identity.

Tomorrow morning, she will first inquire in a place a little further away from the city gate, and if anyone is doing household registration—

"Let's just hide until tonight." She curled up next to a haystack and spent the night.

At dawn the next day, she tidied herself up again, not too gorgeous but also not like a beggar.

What she needs is a presence in the crowd that won't attract any second glances.

"Come with me."

Fu Ran waited for an opportunity at the city gate. If there was a gap when no one was guarding the city during the shift change, she would take that opportunity to escape from the city.

From now on, the world is vast and she will definitely find a way to make a living.

But she never expected to meet Cheng Jiang here.

"Brother Cheng, why are you here? How do you know it's mine?" She thought her modification was quite successful.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Jiang saw through it at a glance.

"Yesterday, I accidentally heard the steward of the *** Mansion talking to someone. He was going to send a secret guard to bring you back. But last night, he didn't bring you back. The secret guard quietly returned to the *** Mansion."

Because of this matter, Cheng Jiang specially switched shifts with the brother who was on duty last night.

"They said you ran away." Cheng Jiang knew she couldn't get far, and he was worried. If she was caught, she would end up in a miserable state. "You want to leave the city. I brought my sister's household registration. Although my sister died, I never cancelled her household registration. I thought that this way I could pretend that she was still alive."

Cheng Jiang always carries his sister's household registration card with him.

"From now on, you will be called Cheng Susu, my sister Cheng Jiang. If you leave the city, go to Chengjia Village under Xuzhou Fengcheng."

Cheng Jiang showed her a clear path.

Fu Ran was extremely grateful.

"Brother Cheng is my adopted parent. Please distance yourself from the matter I asked you to do as soon as possible. As for my brother and sister-in-law, I cannot save them in my current situation."

Cheng Jiang's expression changed slightly.

"I'll help you save it."

"Don't." Fu Ran didn't want to drag him down. He was just a guard of the Fu family's mansion. If he really rescued the three people from the Fu family and let Fu Ran know, Cheng Jiang would surely die.

There was no deep affection between her and him.

He regarded her as his sister, but she was not his biological sister after all, so he didn't need to do these for her.

"You are the only one left in the Cheng family. You should work hard in the government office. As long as you don't make any mistakes, you still have a future. In two years, you can get married, have two children, and live the rest of your life peacefully."

"Everyone has their own destiny. For the rich family to have come to this, I can only blame my bad luck. If my elder brother and sister-in-law had not sold me to the *** mansion, these things would not have happened. Perhaps it was destined in the dark."

Fu Ran had already made plans. She now had some money on her, so she went all the way to the Cheng family's hometown, where she would give birth to the child under the pretext of losing her husband, and raise the child.

If that place is not a good one, she will choose another place after the child is born.

If she could live a stable life, she would settle there.

"Don't delay any longer and get out of the city quickly. *** has ordered people to search for you in the city." Cheng Jiang asked her to leave quickly and he did not take another step forward.

It would be inappropriate for him to be around her.

Fu Ran nodded heavily.

"it is good."

She held Cheng Susu's household registration card, but she was still nervous. She remembered everything Cheng Jiang had told her about his sister.

The ***'s people have already placed people guarding the city. As soon as they see Fu Ran, they will definitely take him back.

Fu Ran has now redressed herself and looks like a dusty farm woman.

She moved slowly forward with the crowd, waiting to have her household registration certificate checked before leaving the city.

Today's inspection was particularly strict. Everyone of her age was severely questioned, which took too long.

Fu Ran's heart ached.

If this continued, she was afraid that she would not be able to leave the city.

Having finally escaped, she didn't want to go back into the cage.

Behind me, soldiers were coming.

Noisy and very noisy.

Fu Ran didn't dare to look back, but just moved forward.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm, and she looked up in fear.

She suddenly discovered that the person who appeared in front of her and held her arm was Wei Xuan.

Her legs felt weak.

Pretending to be calm.

Perhaps, he couldn't recognize his own appearance at all now, because she looked different now than before.

"What are you going to do?" she stammered, her voice low and hoarse.

Wei Xuan looked at the thin, gray little woman in front of him. She did not hide the fear on her face when she raised her eyes just now. She was very scared.

Yesterday, the *** sent people to abduct her, and the people from the Duke of Wei's Mansion failed to protect her, so she was taken out of the Wei family.

She found an opportunity to escape on her own.

She probably thought that there was no place for her in either the *** Mansion or the Wei Family, and if she wanted to survive, she could only run away.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here, no one can hurt you." His movements became gentler, as was his tone.

Fu Ran suddenly lowered his head.

"Please, let me out of town. I can't do anything and I'm of no use to you."

She turned the top of her dark head towards him.

How could she be of no use to him.

She was carrying his child.

"Come back with me." He said in a deep voice. The soldiers guarding the city came over but were stopped by Bian.

"Wei Xuan, the devil wants to hold me hostage and use the baby in my belly to threaten you. I will die once the baby is born." She raised her eyes and watched the team move forward. She became more and more anxious.

Now that he was here, she had no chance to leave the city.

"It's the same with the Wei family. When I give birth to the child, there will be no place for me to stay. I am an ordinary person. I just want to survive. Why is it so difficult? In your eyes, my life is like an ant. Can you trample on it at will?"

She knew he must be thinking so.

She just wanted to win his conscience for a moment.

Unfortunately, she didn't get her wish.

Wei Xuan would be pulled out of the team and even take the transfer certificate from her hand.

"Cheng Susu——." His voice was low and full of coldness.

Fu Ran was shocked.

“I picked this up.”
