Chapter 422 Chu Zheng agreed
Knowing that her ending would not be good, and perhaps as a conditioned reflex in the face of Mrs. Chu's increasing suppression, Mother Chu knelt directly on the hard ground.
"Madam, please, let my son and husband go!" She begged for mercy with tears in her eyes. Seeing the guards surrounding her son, she knelt down and hugged Madam Chu's legs.
Old Madam Chu kicked the man into a pile of snow nearby in disgust.
"Mom!" Chu Zheng wanted to rush forward, but was forced to kneel on the ground, and his father was also controlled.
Madam Chu sneered and stepped forward. "Now we don't know whether my son and husband are alive or dead. It's your honor to donate blood for them. How dare you try to escape? Come, break this woman's legs!"
The two guards immediately gathered in front of Chu's mother and raised their hands -
"No!" Chu Zheng yelled, his neck veins exposed, his eyes red with anxiety: "Old vicious woman, aren't you curious why I'm here?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Chu suddenly remembered, yes, shouldn’t he be on the way to deliver the medicine?
Her brows furrowed, "Where are the herbs?"
Chu Zheng burst into laughter: "I won't tell you, and you'll never know in this lifetime!"
Even though they were just some medicinal herbs, as far as he knew, the Chu family was acting on orders this time.
Moreover, this order is not given by an ordinary person.
If we mess it up, no one will have an easy life!
Madam Chu was not a kind person. She narrowed her eyes and shouted, "Hit him!"
Seeing that the board was about to fall on Chu's mother, Chu Zheng was anxious: "Don't hit me, I don't know, those herbs disappeared right before my eyes!"
But Madam Chu has been through a lot, so how could she believe it?
The heavy board fell on Chu's mother's legs, and a shrill wail was heard. Chu Zheng looked at his aunt with bloodshot eyes full of hatred.
After all, Chu Zheng was young and a half-grown boy. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he broke through the shackles and snatched a sword. He wanted to kidnap Madam Chu, so at least there was a glimmer of hope.
Madam Chu quickly stepped back: "Come here, capture him for me!"
The sword was heading straight for Chu Zheng's vitals. Just when he thought he would not survive the night, a buzzing sound was heard.
The two secret guards rushed into the sky and quickly beat the guards on the scene to pieces.
Madam Chu's face was in a panic: "Who are you? Do you know that this is the Chu family of Yangzhou? How dare you cause trouble here? Are you trying to save your life?!"
Without saying a word, the two secret guards ripped her hair off with a sword, frightening Madam Chu so much that she closed her eyes and fainted.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"
Chu Zheng stared blankly at the two unknown men in black carrying his parents on their backs, and unexpectedly thought of Mrs. Ming.
Inside the inn.
Luo Tingshan looked at Zhu Mingqing and said helplessly, "Didn't I say I wouldn't help you?"
Zhu Mingqing said innocently: "I forgot!"
Luo Tingshan snorted, "Then the bet is void..."
Seeing Zhu Mingqing's eyes narrowed and shifted to his legs, he said with great shrewdness: "I lost, so of course the bet can't be voided!"
Zhu Mingqing stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, you are so loyal!"
Luo Tingshan pursed his lips: "...Brother?"
Zhu Mingqing blinked: "Don't worry, I won't forget your efforts. We have worked together so many times and it's always been a pleasure. I'll take care of your body!"
"Ahem..." Luo Tingshan was shocked by the last few words. What did it mean to wrap his body?
"What a fuss!"
Zhu Mingqing turned and walked out: "I'm going to meet the Chu family. You should go to bed early. If you sleep one second later, you will forget about those legs!" When she opened the door, she turned her head and showed a threatening smile.
Luo Tingshan: ...
I have to say it or not, but I have to get used to Ming Qing's occasional bold words.
And, what she meant was that she had to be responsible for her own body?
Luo Tingshan suddenly felt a secret joy in his heart, perhaps he himself did not realize it, he just felt that he slept very soundly tonight.
On the other side, Zhu Mingqing came to the Chu family's room.
Both Chu's father and mother looked ill, and the doctor came quickly. The former only needed to rest well, but Chu's mother's legs suffered.
The bone is broken and it will take more than a hundred days to recover, especially in this kind of weather, it is even more painful.
But Chu Zheng was truly relieved. As long as he could be cured, everything would be in time.
Bang--
After sending the doctor away, he knelt down in front of Zhu Mingqing, raised his eyes, and said seriously: "Thank you for saving me tonight, Madam. I, Chu Zheng, have always been grateful. If you have any requests, please let me know!"
What this means is that I accept your recruitment.
But Zhu Mingqing smiled and asked them to stand up, and did not continue his conversation: "Rest well here first, don't go out for the next few days!"
Chu Zheng stared blankly at Madam Ming as she left. Turning around, he saw his mother with a worried look on her face.
"Zheng'er, doesn't that lady agree?" Mother Chu asked hurriedly.
Chu Zheng knew his mother was easily impatient, and in serious cases, she would lose her appetite. He immediately comforted her, "No, Madam is definitely trying to test me. Since Madam saved us, she will definitely not abandon us. It's getting late today, you should go to bed early. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow, okay?"
Mother Chu fell asleep worriedly.
Chu Zheng was worried, so he sat on a chair outside and took a nap all night.
The next day, at daybreak, breakfast was served. The Chu family ate absentmindedly. After everything was over, Chu Zheng could no longer bear the quiet atmosphere and stood up, saying, "I'm going to go find my wife. Dad and Mom, wait for me to come back!"
Mother Chu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, no matter what the result is, you are not allowed to hide it from us."
When Chu Zheng found Mrs. Ming, he discovered that she was playing chess with a man in the yard while warming herself by the fire. It seemed that they were quite interested.
He just stood at the corner and didn't go over.
Luo Tingshan placed a chess piece down and said in a voice heard only by the two of them, "He's coming!"
Zhu Mingqing nodded lightly.
Luo Tingshan raised his eyes and looked at the calm woman: "Now it seems that he is grateful to you."
Zhu Mingqing also looked up, his peach blossom eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his eyes raised, like a cunning fox.
"I stole his medicinal herbs, it's good enough that he doesn't hate me."
A faint, muffled laugh escaped Luo Tingshan's throat. "When the Chu family sent someone to assassinate me, they should have expected this day to come. As for the second branch family, they were merely pawns abandoned by the Chu family!"
Snap——
When the black chess piece fell, a smile appeared on his face: "I am going to win!"
Zhu Mingqing was not very good at playing Go. He lowered his eyes and saw that there was indeed no way out.
She lazily leaned back in her chair, wrapping herself tightly in her fur coat. "What a shame, there's no reward!"
Luo Tingshan said meaningfully: "As long as the previous rewards are not withdrawn!"
Seeing that the movement here had stopped, Chu Zheng walked over tentatively, with a hint of embarrassment on the boy's face.
"Mrs. Ming!"
Zhu Mingqing turned around and motioned him to sit down. He said directly, "I took back the herbs as a small revenge against Old Master Chu. I didn't mean to target you!"
She didn't want to spend so much effort to recruit someone who was wary of her, so it would be better not to have him.
Chu Zheng was stunned: "I thought..."
"Do you think that the Chu family and I are robbers?"
"No!" Chu Zheng quickly retorted, "Madam Ming acts in an upright manner, how could she be the same as them!"
