It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 120

When the morning bell rang, the silence in the city was completely broken, and all kinds of clanging and clanging sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking came from all directions.

Chunying relaxed her tense nerves. They had already entered the civilian area outside the city, and the patrol teams they would encounter would become fewer and fewer.

Not long after, people began to walk out of different alleys and join the main street. Judging from their direction, they were most likely heading towards the East City Gate.

Chunying drove the mule cart slowly behind the group. When she could see the guards on the city wall, she quietly turned into a deep alley, found a secluded place to stop, and then gently knocked on the carriage door.

"What's the matter?" The small carriage was too crowded for five people to move around, and Fu Weixin, who was closest to the front door, could only push open a gap himself and ask in a low voice.

Chunying tilted her head slightly and said, "Girl, we will soon be leaving the East City Gate. The gatekeepers will search the carriages, and there is no escape. You and Yile will need to get off the carriage and blend in with the crowd."

"After leaving the city, just walk north along the official road. Jiang Yan and I will come to pick you up."

Fu Weixin was reluctant: "Let the four of them leave the city on their own. Can't I go with you two? The gatekeepers won't check who is riding with whom in the mule cart..."

Fu Weixin still had some concerns, fearing that Jiang Yan and Chunying would abandon everyone and run away on their own after leaving the city.

The two of them had been wanting to leave him for a long time. Although they were bound by a marriage contract and their official names had not been changed, the world was vast. If they hid, it would be extremely difficult for him to send someone to tie them up and bring them back to vent his anger.

Jiang Yan didn't expect that in a moment, Fu Nulang's thoughts had already drifted to how to deal with her and Chunying who were "about to defect".

At this moment, she pushed open the door a little more, pointed at the disguises on her and Chunying's faces, and then pointed at the Chang Mansion mark on the outside of the carriage that had not been wiped off. She explained to Fu Nulang, who had been cooperating but suddenly became petulant:

"The boss's family has to bring their women along when they go to work. We left in the morning, but the news would spread throughout the city within the morning, and then reach the Chang Mansion. If we were to leave later, we might be discovered and arrested."

Seeing that Fu Nulang remained silent, Jiang Yan must have realized that her previous idea was not very reasonable. She turned and earnestly reminded him: "Girls, you will split into two groups later. Remember to pay attention to the people around you and don't let anyone abduct you."

Hearing the word "guai", Tingying looked at Jiang Yan worriedly. How could she talk without any taboos when she was out?

But Tingying was sitting at the back. Due to the narrow door and the lack of light inside, Jiang Yan couldn't see her expression at all. He continued:

"Well... remember to imitate the mannerisms of the sisters-in-law and aunts. Act like they talk and walk the same way. Yes, especially you, the girl, you must first forget the manners you have at home. Those things like holding your head high and chest out, and walking delicately, are too easy to give away."

Although what he said made sense, Fu Weixin still couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yan. She felt that Jiang Yan's next words seemed like an opportunity for revenge.

But Jiang Yan just felt that he was extremely innocent in receiving this look. After confirming again and again that his words were still very respectful to Miss Fu, he didn't bother to take it to heart.

The mule cart slowly moved towards the alley entrance again.

Yile confirmed through the gap that no one was walking in the alley, so he pushed open the rear door and jumped out. Then he supported Fu Nulang, Baoqin and Tingying who got out of the car in the same way, and walked out of the alley.
