There was a dog hole not far from the back door through which she could crawl out.
Unexpectedly, after running two steps, a voice came from behind: "Stop."
Chunfen kept walking. She had one thought in mind: run faster and faster.
The imperial guards were shocked to see someone daring to escape right under their noses. They swooped down towards Chunfen.
Chunfen felt a strong force coming from behind her, and she fell forward, with the child in her arms being thrown out by inertia.
"My child." Mrs. Chen let out a blood-curdling cry, ran over at an astonishing speed and caught the child.
It wasn't until she held the child in her arms that her heart finally settled.
She hugged the child tightly, with her cheek against his little face.
Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise she would not be alive.
The next second, the child was snatched away by a pair of big hands, and the imperial guards lifted him up high, saying, "What a little bastard."
It almost ruined everything.
If we are really taken away and the truth comes out, we will be in trouble.
If you let the guilty minister go, the consequences will be very serious. Not only will you lose your job, you will also be whipped.
"Let my child go." Mrs. Chen was worried and stepped forward to snatch the child away.
Without the need for the guards who were supposed to arrest the child to give orders, the guards nearby grabbed her and said, "Don't move."
"Please, don't hurt my child." Mrs. Chen tried to break free from the restraints, staring at the child tightly, tears streaming down her face. "If you have anything, come to me, I'll have someone take the child away."
"Humph, do you think you can escape? I'll deal with you after I've dealt with you." The imperial guard laughed, loosened his grip, and the child fell straight down.
"No." Madam Chen screamed heartbreakingly and struggled desperately. The imperial guards had to use both hands to control her.
I really don't know where she, a woman, gets all the energy from.
Mrs. Chen's heart seemed to be crushed by someone. She fell to the ground helplessly, and endless hatred grew in her heart. She hated herself for being powerless and unable to save the child, and she hated this cannibalistic world even more.
She did nothing, yet she had to go into exile with him.
Don't even mention that she's enjoying the good life with me.
If she had enjoyed the slightest happiness, she would not be so unhappy.
The problem is that Chen Yean treated her like a beast of burden.
No, even worse than cattle and horses.
The cattle and horses still have time to rest, and during that time they can eat good fodder.
What about her? She is busy from morning till night, without a moment's rest, and will be criticized if she eats something good.
What? Why don't you hire a servant?
She wanted to, but how many eyes were watching Chen Yean's job as an imperial censor?
Anyone who dares to commit corruption will lose his position tomorrow.
With that little salary, it's hard to afford servants or even food, let alone food.
She could earn money on her own and take care of her family, but now she is told that Chen Yean is corrupt.
Borrowing the hand of lover to commit corruption.
The lover is a man.
No wonder he disliked her in every way. It was obvious that she was the one who earned the money in the family and took care of the whole family, but Chen Ye'an still looked down on her.
It turns out that my true love is this man.
An old man.
Ironic. How ironic.
“Wow wow wow.”
The child fell to the ground, crying loudly.
It turned out that Mrs. Chen was afraid that the baby would fall and get hurt, so she specially prepared thick swaddling clothes, and the muddy ground also saved the child's life.
Mrs. Chen's cold body warmed up. She slowly raised her head and looked at the child. To confirm that the sound really came from the baby's swaddling clothes, she crawled towards the child and held him tightly in her arms: "Child, my child."
