Marry a Duke

Chapter 217: Shallow Relationship

Alin led Yuchi Mingxiu in.

The courtyard was kept clean and tidy, and it didn't look like a temporary residence. He knew that they were not opening the shop to do business temporarily, but were going to settle here for a long time.

Jiangnan is far away from the capital, and it is also thousands of miles away from Xuzhou.

There is almost no possibility of communication.

She chose a good place that could avoid both the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Chenyuan's Mansion.

"Sister, why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Yuchi Mingxiu tried his best to act natural so as not to scare her away again.

Last time, she was already very dissatisfied with them.

I don't want to recognize them anymore.

Fu Ran glanced at him and asked him to sit down first.

"You haven't eaten yet? Come and eat first. You have two guards, ask them to come in and eat together." There might not be enough food, so three more people were added and some noodles would be ordered later.

"No need, they are eating outside." Yuchi Mingxiu arrived and told the two guards to find a place to eat first.

Fu Ran could do less and naturally would not go after the person.

Everyone sat down to eat. Dong Niang ate quickly and went back to the house carrying Wuyou.

Yuchi Mingxiu found it difficult to swallow his food.

"Sister, are you really not going to go back? Mom and Dad know that their attitude that day hurt you, but you are the one and only daughter in their hearts. That day, the incident happened suddenly, and we did not stand on Xinxin's side. We really don't blame you.

You left without a trace, and your mother was at a loss. She became ill, and if Guang was still here, she would have followed him around looking for you."

Fu Ran was very calm when he heard this.

"You don't need to look for him anymore. Yuchi Huanhuan drowned more than ten years ago. There is no such person in this world anymore."

"Huanhuan, how can you say that? You don't know how happy we are to know that you are still alive." Yuchi Mingxiu's eyes were slightly red.

The more excited he was, the calmer Fu Ran seemed.

Fu Ran had already let it go.

When she first knew that she was the biological daughter of the Yuchi family, she was quite happy and felt that she had a backer.

She felt that after leaving the Wei Mansion, she would have a new way out.

"I was also very happy at that time, but unfortunately, a bucket of cold water was poured down on me mercilessly just when I was in high spirits, forcing me to face the facts. I didn't like the Duke of Wei's Mansion and had long been planning to leave. I had thought that I would go to Xuzhou with you and never return to the capital.

Unfortunately, the plan failed before it even started.

It is true that you feel guilty towards me, but your feelings towards me are simply due to guilt.

Yuchi Xinxin is right. She is your daughter who you have raised for more than ten years. Although she is not your biological daughter, she is better than your biological daughter.

It is only natural for you to believe her.

Even if I go to Xuzhou with you, everyone in Xuzhou will compare her with me. "

She smiled lightly.

“I also thought that even if they felt guilty about me, at least they could give me a place to stay.

Later I thought about it again and again, and decided that I still have to rely on myself for everything.

Why should I let others control my future? I have spent half my life being controlled by others, that is enough."

After all, she wanted to live her own life.

Try to tear yourself away from your past self as much as possible.

After going to Xuzhou, she might not be able to please everyone in the Yuchi family. Once they dislike her, will they compare her with Yuchi Xinxin?

Why should she compare herself with others?

"Huanhuan, don't say that. My parents and I will do our best to protect you and compensate you." Yuchi Mingxiu was a little anxious.

"I don't need your compensation. You don't actually owe me anything, so there's no need to feel guilty all the time. The people around me now are closer to me than my family." Fu Ran said.

Yuchi Mingxiu knew these people.

A Lin and Cheng Jiang were originally guards of the Princess's Mansion. They were old acquaintances of hers. Later, they rescued her and stayed together in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

The other is a wet nurse.

"How did you leave?" He didn't understand. "Are you the only ones?"

"Of course there is another key person." Fu Ran had to mention Xiao Liuzi. He had something to do on the way and would come to meet them later.

Fu Ran originally wanted to wait for Xiao Liuzi, but was rejected by him.

The route was marked so he could find it.

Xiao Liuzi was a capable man. He urged them to leave as soon as possible to avoid wasting their previous efforts. So, they first settled down in Nanxiang. After Xiao Liuzi finished what he wanted to do, he would live with them for a while.

No one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

Fu Ran did not mention Xiao Liuzi because he was worried that Xiao Liuzi would return to the capital to continue his development in the future.

If the Duke of Weiguo knew that she had escaped, they would make trouble for Xiao Liuzi, who had helped a lot.

"None of this has anything to do with you, Yuchi Mingxiu. You owed me more than ten years, so just write it off. I just want to live a few years of peace and raise Wuyou well. If you really feel guilty about me, just pretend you didn't see me here."

Fu Ran looked at him straight.

Yuchi Mingxiu gritted his teeth.

How could he refuse what she said?

"Come with me to Xuzhou. There are also good places in Xuzhou. You can choose any one of them. It's okay if you don't want to live in Yuchi's house. No one will force you, okay?" He still wanted to take her back.

How would he explain to his parents if they knew that she didn't want to go back with him?

"You really don't have to suffer alone outside, sister. If you don't want to go back to the Wei family, we can solve it. Wei Xuan can't force you, and he can't force the Yuchi family."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to give up, Fu Ran had no choice but to increase the dosage.

"Before I left the capital, I was very afraid of what would happen if I was found by Wei Xuan. Now that I'm out, I've seen the vastness of the world. It's impossible for me to return to the Duke of Wei's Mansion. I don't need the Yuchi family."

She looked calm and determined.

"Yuchi Mingxiu, even if we have no blood relationship, and we never had any from the beginning, there is no need to force it now. I don't want to end up with us becoming enemies and hating each other."

These words were so heavy that they struck Yuchi Mingxiu's heart hard.

Waves of cramping pain.

This is his biological sister. They have the same father and mother and the same blood.

"Sister, don't do this--." He begged in a low voice.

"We did something wrong, please give us a chance to make amends."

"You did nothing wrong. You just did what you were supposed to do. There's no need to force it." She didn't hate them or blame them. She just happened to encounter this opportunity.

"If you just leave like this and don't tell anyone, I will be grateful to you." Fu Ran smiled gently and added more food for him, "If you insist on taking me back, I will hate you."

She said it without any reservation.

Such straightforwardness almost broke Yuchi Mingxiu. He was at a loss for a moment. He didn't want her to hate him, but he couldn't just leave like that.
