Post station.

The Lu family's eldest son was detained for two days, and his discomfort from the change in environment dissipated.

They used to drink wild vegetable soup in Luzhou Prefecture, but now, after a long journey, they have gained some weight.

The poison in my body has probably dissipated in the past two days, and I feel much more energetic.

While feeding her grandson, Madam Lu reminded Madam Jin, "Eat less, your husband hasn't eaten yet!" Madam Jin also felt sorry for her husband, but she still retained some rationality.

As she shoveled rice into her mouth, she muttered, "Mom, it would be better if those two ate less, otherwise how are we going to carry them out of here?"

The Lu family also understood that keeping them locked up indefinitely was not a solution.

But when she thought about going out and not even having enough to eat, and having to drink wild vegetable soup every day, she realized she had had enough.

Instead, it gave rise to the thought that being locked up wasn't so bad, at least I wouldn't go hungry.

So, unwilling to give up, she asked, "Elder sister, what do you think these people outside are doing, kidnapping our whole family here?"

Upon hearing this, Jin paused in eating, her chopsticks still in her mouth. She had thought about this question while traveling in the carriage for several days.

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

Before fleeing the famine, her family lived in Yushan Town; they went to Luzhou Prefecture after fleeing the famine.

They were not from wealthy families, so they could not possibly offend powerful figures, let alone go to such great lengths to bring them here.

Jin didn't understand and continued eating.

Seeing her ravenous appearance, Madam Lu cursed her inwardly, but dared not curse her to her face again.

After Jin had eaten and drunk her fill, she left only a small half bowl of rice for Lu Dazhuang.

Lu Dazhuang looked at the white rice in his bowl, said nothing, and started eating by himself.

After he had eaten his fill, he had the strength to speak. “We can’t stay here forever. Who knows what kind of heinous things those people might do?”

Jin glared at him irritably, "You think I don't want to escape? The windows are nailed shut, and the door is locked from the outside."

Every time they delivered food, they threw it on the ground like feeding a dog, so we had no chance to escape.

Besides, with your legs broken, even if no one is guarding outside, it would be difficult for you two to crawl out.

Lu Dazhuang looked at his crippled leg and slammed it hard with his hand, but he felt no pain at all.

This completely enraged him, causing him to pound even harder.

Upon seeing this, Madam Lu quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to the bedside to stop the hand that was about to hit her leg.

Tears streamed down her face. "Oh my god! The second son is dead, the third son is heartless and doesn't recognize his mother, and the fourth son is nowhere to be found."

"If anything were to happen to you, would you even let this old woman like me live?"

Hearing his mother's heart-wrenching cries, Lu Dazhuang calmed down completely, and the strength in his raised hand gradually diminished.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Mother, you and Tiger's mother go first, find the government office to report to the authorities, and then come back to rescue Tiger and me."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu refused without hesitation, "No way!"

Lu Dazhuang panicked, "Mother!"

Madam Lu wiped away her tears, her eyes still brimming with them. "The Lu family only has the two of you left. If something happens to you two, father and son..."

"A hundred years from now, how will I have the face to see your father!"

After saying that, Madam Lu started cursing again, "That wretched hussy Changping, I secretly fed her candy when she was little."

I never imagined she'd be even more despicable than the two sisters from the second son's family!

After all, she had never given the two sisters a kind look, but when it came to good things, she always favored the eldest son's family, so the younger generation naturally treated them better.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the four people in the room all turned very ugly.

Hatred surged from my heart to my brain, and I felt a sharp pain all over my body from anger.

As the head of the family, Lu Dazhuang was paralyzed in bed every day and had to rely on his mother and wife to beg for a living.

Whenever he saw his own legs, he wished he could put that little beast back into his mother's womb!

After a moment of silence in the room, Jin said, "What the master said is right, we can't escape together."

"Mother, if you're worried about your mobility making it difficult to escape, stay here with them and wait for me to report to the authorities to rescue you."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu felt that something was wrong. What if someone found out that someone had escaped and the gang of thugs started beating people?

She's an old woman, and her bones ache from being beaten every day, but she can't stand being hit.

Therefore, she made up her mind, "Eldest daughter-in-law, I will go with you to report to the authorities."

We must get them out of here!

Having made up their minds, the two decided to take advantage of the opportunity when someone brought them lunch to knock the person unconscious and escape.

At the same time, a carriage was parked in front of the Anchang Marquis's residence.

Yuqing stood at the door. When she saw Lu Changping, who was dressed in a maroon dress, she bowed and said, "Fourth Young Madam, the carriage is ready."

Lu Changping looked at the carriage ahead and then asked Yuqing to confirm, "Is the woman that Fourth Young Master brought back really from a brothel?"

Yuqing remained in the same position. "After some investigation, I found that it is indeed the case."

The fourth young master couldn't come up with that much money right away, so he could only book the woman for half a month.

At the same time, they discussed with the madam that they would definitely redeem the woman within the next two weeks.

Upon hearing this, all of Lu Changping's doubts vanished.

When she heard that the woman's indenture was still in the madam's hands, she could no longer sit still.

She had worked hard to obtain her current status, and if that woman were to enter the household, her future would undoubtedly be even more difficult.

It's become increasingly clear these past two days that the servants of the Marquis of Anchang's mansion are paying less and less attention to her.

Now that she dares not return to the Marquis of Lin'an's residence, it means that she has no one to back her up.
