Marry a Duke

Chapter 216: Come to the Door

The person who came was Yuchi Mingxiu.

Wei Xuan sent people to search for Alin and Cheng Jiang but to no avail. He chased them all the way to the bank of Xinjiang River, where he saw three ships heading in different directions. He sent people to chase them along these three routes.

But they didn't expect that Fu Ran got off the boat halfway and had to travel by land for a while.

They wasted a lot of time in it.

Later, we found their traces and continued chasing them all the way to Jiangnan.

They then travelled by land.

Cheng Jiang's guess was correct. Wei Xuan had indeed secretly distributed the portraits of the four adults to various prefectures, and ordered each prefecture to conduct secret investigations and find Fu Ran at all costs.

The officials from various states did not dare to make a big announcement. Even if they did look for someone, they asked the plainclothes runners from the government office to look for him.

Finally, someone in Nanxiang saw someone who looked somewhat similar to Fu Ran.

They also went through several rounds of confirmation, as they were afraid of offending the Duke of Weiguo and Marquis Chenyuan in case they found the wrong person.

I heard that the missing person was the wife of Duke Weiguo and the beloved daughter of Marquis Chenyuan.

With such a noble status, the yamen runners didn't understand why she wanted to live a good life but insisted on coming to the south of the Yangtze River.

The guards from the Yuchi family have been keeping an eye on Fu Ran's breakfast shop.

After confirming that they were open for business today, Yuchi Mingxiu observed for a long time. The last time things didn't go well, and Fu Ran must have remembered it, so he escaped quietly.

It’s because I feel I can’t stay in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion any longer.

I still feel that I can no longer get along with the people of the Yuchi family.

No matter which possibility it was, Yuchi Mingxiu could not accept it.

He reluctantly accepted that Fu Ran didn't want to stay in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Yuchi Xinxin has already married Shen Yan. The wedding was a simple one, but Wei Lin came to their house several times to cause trouble.

Shen Yan originally wanted to look for it with them.

Was rejected by Yuchi Sui.

The Shen family has a lot of things to deal with now. Wei Lin cannot tolerate Shen Yan marrying another woman in such a short time.

Although she divorced Shen Yan.

But she thought that one day, Shen Yanyan would come to make peace.

When she feels it's about right, she'd be willing to marry him again.

But he married someone else.

With Wei Lin's personality, he won't give up until the whole place is turned upside down.

"My Lord, do we still want to go over there?" The guard had been staring at them for a while. "The eldest lady was just in front, but now someone else has come. Has she discovered us?"

"It's unlikely. We have been avoiding her. If she wants to escape, Cheng Jiang and Alin will run away with her. Let's wait and see." Yuchi Mingxiu was afraid that if he rushed over suddenly, he would scare Fu Ran.

She already had many complaints about them.

Her attitude at the beginning made her feel dissatisfied and she felt that they were biased towards Tan Xinxin.

They are wrong.

but--

No matter what, they are a real family, a blood-related family.

She could beat them and scold them, but how could she just leave like that and never recognize them again in this life?

My mother fainted from crying several times and blamed herself every day.

If I can’t find Huanhuan, I’m afraid my mother’s body won’t last much longer.

In the afternoon, the breakfast shop began to pack up and close.

The guard reminded Yuchi Mingxiu.

"My Lord, aren't we going yet?"

"Wait a little longer. This is on the street and there are a lot of people. If they start a commotion, it will be too conspicuous. We can just follow them back secretly."

"Yes."

Fu Ran stayed in Grandma Zhang's shop for half a day. Cheng Jiang and A Lin closed the shop and took them home.

"It seems that Cheng Jiang was mistaken. If he was really from the capital, he would have come to our door long ago." A Lin said.

"Not necessarily. It's better to be careful." Cheng Jiang still felt that the man was suspicious.

"I agree with Brother Cheng's opinion. We should be careful. Brother Cheng, please investigate secretly in the next few days. Nanxiang Town is not very big, and with all the people coming and going, it will be easy to find out which ones are outsiders and staying here." Fu Ran said.

Cheng Jiang nodded: "Okay, I'll check it out after I send you back."

Ah Lin: "I'll take them there. Cheng Jiang, you go now."

Cheng Jiang glanced at Alin, who raised his eyebrows. Why didn’t you believe him?

"alright."

Cheng Jiang turned around and checked the whereabouts of the suspicious person.

Alin sent them home and closed the door immediately, not welcoming any uninvited guests.

Wuyou slept at Grandma Zhang's place for half a day. When she woke up, she felt very energetic. The little one can already crawl around everywhere, and I was really afraid that she would bump into something or fall if she was not careful.

Just two teeth grew, and when he opened his mouth and smiled, two teeth as big as millet grains were revealed.

Incredibly cute.

Fu Ran has already added complementary food to her diet. Dong Niang’s main task now is to take care of Wu You, not to breastfeed her.

Wuyou had already stopped drinking Dongniang's milk, so Furan found goat's milk to feed her.

The little guy is also strong and very cute.

After resting for a while at home, Dong Niang began to prepare dinner.

Just as dinner was ready, Cheng Jiang came back, and with him came Yuchi Mingxiu and his two guards.

One of the guards was the suspicious person Cheng Jiang saw at that time.

"Why did you bring them back?" As Alin opened the door, he almost wanted to kick the people away, and then he closed the door.

The unexpected guest was not welcome at all.

"What are you doing here? No one welcomes you here." Alin said bluntly.

"How do you talk to my young master?" Guard Sihai said to Alin.

Yuchi Mingxiu is the eldest son of Chenyuan Marquis's Mansion. This time when the Marquis came to Beijing, he submitted a memorial to his superiors.

"Si Hai, don't make trouble." Ye Tao pulled Si Hai down.

The prince hasn't even spoken, so why is he making a fuss?

If they make the eldest lady unhappy, they won't even be able to see the prince. They can't bear the responsibility.

Sihai gritted his teeth and stepped aside, not daring to say anything else.

"I'm here to look for my sister. She's inside. Please go in and tell her to see me." Yuchi Mingxiu tried his best to suppress his excitement.

He wanted to rush over.

The terrible sister kicked him out.

Alin gave Cheng Jiang a look, and Cheng Jiang went in. Alin closed the door in front of them.

"Wait."

Dong Niang had already put dinner on the table, so Fu Ran never had any shortage of food.

For four adults, three dishes and one soup, it is a well-off life.

As for Wuyou, it was a separate complementary food and he had eaten it before the meal.

"Cheng Jiang is back, A Ling can start eating now."

"Okay." Fu Ran came out holding Wuyou. Seeing Cheng Jiang and A Lin's unusual expressions, her heart skipped a beat. "What's going on?"

"Here they are, right at the door." A-Lin rolled his eyes, "They really know how to find him."

Cheng Jiang nodded.

"The one who came was Yuchi Mingxiu, the son of Chenyuan Marquis's mansion. He said he was your brother."

They also knew about these things in the capital, and Fu Ran told them all on the way. Along the way, Fu Ran did not hide anything from them and told them everything he needed to say.

"It's him." Fu Ran felt relieved, and Yuchi Mingxiu was ready to deal with it. "Is there no one else?"

"I brought two guards, no one else for now."

"Since he's already outside the door, let him in. He won't leave unless you talk it out."
