Chapter 421: Escape Stopped
"Okay, the people have been sent here, let's all go back!" The housekeeper took everyone away, leaving only Chu Zheng's parents in the yard.
Mother Chu supported her husband and walked slowly towards the room.
Chu Zheng didn't know what was going on, but seeing that his parents had difficulty walking and the Chu family didn't even send a servant, he was so angry that he kicked the floor vase next to him.
Crash——
"Who?" Chu's mother reacted quickly and immediately looked towards her son's room.
The moment the door opened, her heart was in her throat, and she thought that the eldest wife had come up with some new way of torturing her. When she saw the appearance of the person who came.
His pupils were tightly locked, and he held onto Chu's father's arm tightly, which also made Chu's father more awake.
"Mom, what happened to Dad?" Chu Zheng walked over.
It’s not a dream!
Mother Chu shook her head and tears immediately fell.
"Zheng'er?"
"Mom, it's me!" Chu Zheng hurried forward to help, carried his father back to the room and put him on the bed.
"Why are you back?" Chu's mother felt her son's arm up and down in disbelief. "Did something happen? Don't try to hide it from your mother..."
Seeing his mother about to cry, Chu Zheng hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm fine. Father and you were fine when I left, but you're not feeling well? I'll go get a doctor right away!"
"Don't go!"
Chu's mother hurriedly stopped her son and turned to look at her husband who was drowsy on the bed. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer. "Your father is like this, it's all your uncle's fault!"
Chu's father is the only half-brother of Master Chu. The age difference between them is very small. Since their father passed away, Chu's father's life has been getting worse and worse.
Now, Master Chu was sick, and he actually asked his father to bleed him. That was three bowls of blood. The master almost fainted right after he finished bleeding.
Hearing this, Chu Zheng was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
"brute!"
He stood there motionless, his fists clenched, and Che Ping's words kept echoing in his ears.
"Mom, let's leave the Chu family!"
Once there is a problem, there will be a second one. His father's body can't withstand the continuous blood draws.
Just as he finished speaking, the butler's voice came from outside again, and some blood-replenishing medicine was sent over.
Chu Zheng immediately hid behind the barrier. After hearing the butler's request, he wanted to beat the other person up.
The housekeeper said condescendingly: "Second Madam, I'm sorry to bother you with the Second Master's health. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that Young Master Chu will be able to return safely!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Mother Chu was holding a bunch of blood-replenishing herbs, her eyes red as she looked at her still unconscious husband and her son who had not yet reached the age of marriage, her heart bleeding.
What should their family do?
Chu Zheng was seen rummaging through the drawers and cabinets very quickly, placing all the usable items in his room on the table, picking and choosing, and packing them into a small bag.
This is what their family has saved over the years.
"Mom, has a doctor checked Dad's condition?" he turned around and asked.
Mother Chu nodded slightly. "In your uncle's room, the doctor said it was just excessive blood loss. He's weak and needs to be well cared for... ahem... Zheng'er, what are you going to do?"
Chu Zheng said solemnly: "When Dad wakes up, we will leave!"
Mother Chu didn't expect her son to be serious. She immediately panicked and said, "The eldest lady must have sent guards to watch us. We can't get out. Even if we get out, where can we go?"
"Don't worry about it. I have my own way!" Chu Zheng said with a serious face, "Besides, I lost the herbs. You know how much the master values the escort of the herbs this time. There will be no good ending anyway, so we might as well give it a try!"
Mother Chu's legs and feet went limp, and she immediately fell to the edge of the bed, her face showing even more despair.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng couldn't bear to make his mother so worried, and said directly: "Don't worry, with the Ming family protecting us, we will be fine!"
Mother Chu was puzzled: "Ming family?"
Chu Zheng nodded slightly and told his mother about Madam Ming's recruitment of him. Although she found it a little unbelievable, the uneasiness in Chu's mother's heart finally dissipated a little.
Two days passed like this, and Chu's father was able to go out of bed normally. Tomorrow was the day he would be taken to have his blood drawn again.
After discussion, Chu Zheng and his family of three decided to escape from the Chu Mansion tonight.
That night, the snow melted a lot, and the moonlight shone on the road, illuminating the way home.
Chu Zheng carefully opened the courtyard gate. They were very close to the back door, but there were no less than ten guards along the way.
He did not stay there for the past two days in vain. He had already figured out the shift change time for these people. Now there was still a quarter of an hour before this group of guards were off duty.
He looked to the left and saw an old man standing in the corner of the shade where no one could see him. He stretched out his arm slightly to show that he was still there.
Chu Zheng's face was conflicted, but he said nothing in the end.
A quarter of an hour later, he immediately carried his father on his back, and Chu's mother also carried a bag on her back, and the three of them walked out of the yard.
The surroundings were quiet, the cold wind was blowing wildly, and the branches were rustling. Chu's mother stared at her surroundings and hurried to catch up with her son.
Suddenly, there was a noise around the corner ahead. The faces of the family of three turned pale. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they realized it was a cat passing by.
Why are there no guards?
Mother Chu was full of doubts, but seeing the back door right in front of her, she no longer cared about these doubts. Her face turned red with excitement and her heart beat even faster!
She didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow her son out, but it was better than being raised like an animal in the Chu family, right?
“There they are!”
"stop!"
Suddenly, just as one foot was about to step out of the back door of the mansion, a group of guards suddenly shouted behind him.
Chu Zheng turned his head, his pupils locked, the old man did not stop them!
"Mom, let's go!"
I thought I was going to escape, but I didn't expect to be discovered at the critical moment.
Mother Chu's breathing stagnated, and she suddenly lost her strength. Her whole body felt sore and she couldn't move.
"Mom!" Chu Zheng ran out of the house and found his mother still standing there. His voice became a little louder with anxiety.
Mother Chu also hated her own weak body and became even more certain that she would not be able to escape today.
"Zheng'er, take your father and leave quickly. Don't worry about your mother!"
Chu Zheng's eyes turned red with anxiety: "Let's go! Why don't you move? Do you think that if you stay, the Chu family will let us go? They will only use you to threaten me and Dad!"
"Hmph! Run! Let's see where you can run to!" Old Madam Chu slowly appeared and looked at the branch that she had never taken seriously. She was so bold that they dared to run away one day!
