It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 112

It is not so easy to break free from the cage of Chang Mansion, so Fu Weixin secretly summoned Yile, Jiang Yan and Chunying to plan together.

Baoqin and Tingying had served her longer, so she actually trusted them more. However, after observing them for a while, she realized that their obedient and law-abiding personalities were not suitable for participating in the escape plan.

Not to mention helping to come up with a solution, Fu Weixin could imagine how hard the two would try to find ways to dissuade her from taking risks before things were settled. She didn't want to waste too much time trying to convince them.

"Girl, do you have a destination?" Jiang Yan's first words confirmed Fu Weixin's judgment of her character.

"Go back to Heding Prefecture." This was the direction Fu Weixin finally confirmed after thinking for many days. Xiding Prefecture was the sphere of influence of the Chang family. She had never been to other prefectures and counties. She was unfamiliar with the place and knew it was not suitable for a group of weak girls like them to break into their lives.

Jiang Yan asked doubtfully, "How sure are you that Governor Chang won't send us back?"

"Seventy...sixty percent." Fu Weixin clasped his fingers together, recalling Aunt Chang's attitude towards her after she took over the power of the governor. Although she was still lukewarm and ignored her, it was much milder than the occasional nitpicking in the early days.

Moreover, "I own a farmland outside the city of Heding Prefecture. If... we can hide there."

Although Fu Weixin's wealth was not as great as that of the Chang Mansion and the Inspector's Mansion, he had some relics left by his parents and jewelry and cloth purchased by the mansion, so he could be considered well-off.

Four years ago, when she went to Xishan to pay tribute to her family, she met a family selling their farm and fleeing to the south. She bought it for some unknown reason. Later, she had no time to go there and gradually forgot about it. Who would have thought that one day it would become her home.

Fu Weixin pulled his thoughts back and told Jiang Yan and the other two, "You must keep it a secret from Madam Huang and prepare some food and water for the journey."

The three of them nodded in unison.

What follows is the most critical part of the escape operation - when to go and how to go.

Yile asked, "When do you plan to leave, young lady?"

"Within a week?" Fu Weixin hesitated. She had never traveled on her own before, and her elders had always arranged the itineraries and notified her directly.

Jiang Yan objected, "It snowed heavily yesterday. The severe cold coupled with the thick snow will make it difficult to move forward." She was worried that everyone would freeze to death on the road.

"Driving a carriage?" Fu Weixin looked at Yile. She had learned this skill from someone else.

Yile pondered for a moment: "It's okay to drive the carriage slowly, but if you run fast like that to escape, you'll slip."

"And there may be wild beasts or refugees along the way. It's too dangerous for us to handle it with just a few people," Chunying added.

Fu Weixin became more and more discouraged as he listened: "So when do you think it's best to set off?"

"If you want to be safe, maybe in spring?" The time Jiang Yan gave was suddenly postponed to two months later. After she said that, she felt that it was useless. If she could endure until that time, the people in Chang Mansion might have taken the initiative to send Miss Fu back to Heding Mansion.

If they were not sent back, Jiang Yan imagined that they would encounter tigers, brown bears, and wild wolves that had been hungry for the whole winter and were out looking for food... She couldn't help but shudder.

Chunying also suggested a solution, which was to follow the caravan or hire a security team to go to Heding Prefecture, but this was also difficult for a group of girls like them.

Not to mention that they were locked in the yard, making it difficult to know what was happening outside the mansion. Even if the team was found, could they be trusted?

She was overthinking it. Fu Weixin weakly waved away Jiang Yan and the other two, then curled up on the couch, hugging her legs.

Before closing the door, Jiang Yan saw that Fu Nulang was in a bad state and comforted her, "Don't worry too much, girl. Although we haven't found a suitable solution yet, we can make more preparations during this period so that we can escape at any time when the opportunity comes."
