Chapter 145 Escape
As luck would have it, Liu Suyu was washing clothes with her former maid that day. She knelt in front of the maid when no one was around. ”
"Xiao Yun, I want to leave here, I hope you can help me."
The maid Xiaoyun was surprised that this concubine seemed to have changed a lot in character since she became a maid. Could it be that she didn't want her own son anymore? He begged the lady to keep him at the beginning because he wanted to watch the young master grow up safely. Why did he want to leave now?
"In fact, as a servant, I have advised you before. The reason why the Madam did that is to protect her position here. She will never return your child to you. If you don't ask others for help, you will not get your child back. Why bother staying here? If you go back home, you can still be a good daughter to your parents. If you stay here, you will never get ahead in your life. The Madam will never let you and the young master recognize each other."
Liu Suyu nodded helplessly. She had figured it out. If she continued like this, not only would she not get what she wanted, but she might even lose her life. The eldest lady was able to frame her through this incident, and there would be more things to come in the future.
"For the sake of our past friendship, I am willing to help you. I know tomorrow is the eldest lady's birthday, and they will definitely hold a birthday party for her. You can sneak away while they are busy, and I will cover for you. Don't come back then. If the eldest lady finds out, you will be finished. They will definitely frame you with some crime and send you to the government office. You won't be able to get out even if you want to, and you won't have any freedom at all."
"After I leave here, I will find an excuse to fool my parents, and then leave this sad place and never come back. As for my son, they will not harm the child, so I can rest assured about this."
Time soon arrived, and it was the day of the eldest lady's birthday.
Liu Shuyu got up early in the morning, packed a simple bag, and then escaped from the back door under Yun'er's cover.
The rest of the people were busy in the hall, so no one noticed that this little girl had disappeared.
After leaving this wealthy family, he went to the antique shop as agreed and found Gu Leyou and Lu Yan.
She knelt in front of the two men, thanking them for their help, otherwise she might not have been able to get out.
Gu Leyou helped her up and said to her earnestly: "You must remember to be more careful in doing things in the future."
Liu Suyu nodded heavily, her eyes full of gratitude and determination: "Le You, Mr. Lu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will definitely keep your words in mind."
Lu Yan nodded slightly, with a concerned look on his face: "Now that you are out, what are your plans? If you have any difficulties, just speak up."
Liu Suyu stood up and looked into the distance: "I plan to find a stable place, find a job, and slowly save some money so that I can live a better life in the future."
Gu Leyou took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Here is some small change, take it first, just as travel expenses."
Liu Suyu's eyes were red, and she refused to take it: "How can I do this? I've already troubled you too much."
Gu Leyou stuffed the purse into her hands and said with a smile, "Take it. It's always good to have more money with you when you go out."
Liu Suyu held back her tears and accepted the purse: "Leyou, if there is a chance in the future, I will repay you with gratitude."
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Liu Suyu turned and left. Looking at her receding back, Gu Leyou sighed softly: "I hope she will be smoother in the future."
Lu Yan raised his hand and patted her shoulder gently: "Good people will be rewarded, she will be safe."
However, Liu Shuyu has to go back home first to pick up her parents.
When Liu Suyu returned home and saw his parents, he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He leaned on his mother's shoulder and cried. Liu's father and mother were heartbroken when they saw this, but they were also confused. What happened to their daughter? You were living well in a wealthy family, why did you suddenly come back?
She didn't dare to tell her parents the truth, so she lied and said, "Mom and Dad, the child I gave birth to died of illness. I have thought it through and don't want to be someone's concubine anymore, so they kindly gave me some money to let me come back. Now I just want to be with you two and don't want to go out and show my face again."
She described it so lightly, but even though she said so, she felt very sad inside.
"My poor girl, how could it turn out like this? You were fine when you married that master a year ago. We all know that you gave birth to a big fat boy. How could you lose that child?"
Although Liu's father and mother didn't quite believe what he said, the fact was real. Who wouldn't want to protect their child back then? But the child was destined not to be his from the moment he became pregnant. No matter how strong he was, it was useless. Even if the county magistrate could protect her for a while, he couldn't protect her for a lifetime.
What’s the use even if I get a son? They will definitely try every means to get their son back. Instead of doing that, it is better to leave the son in that family. The son can live a life of luxury and the mother can feel at ease.
If I force my son to stay with me, he probably won't be able to get used to this kind of poor life. After all, my family is not rich, and sometimes there are a lot of troubles. Why not let my son stay in that family and be the eldest son?
After the birthday banquet, the lady of the wealthy family discovered that the girl was missing.
So she gathered all the servants together and asked, "Where did that little bitch go? Does anyone know? She didn't sneak out again, did she? If she did, she shouldn't come back, so that I won't be upset if she sees her."
But the nanny reminded her, "Madam, if that girl leaves and spreads nonsense outside, saying that our eldest young master is her son, then our family's reputation will be ruined. Also, if this matter spreads, not only will Grandpa's reputation be damaged, but if your family also learns about this, there will be a big disturbance. So she can't leave. We have to find a way to bring her back."
That's true. If the person is not found, there will be endless trouble in the future. If this little girl goes out and talks nonsense, not only will it damage the reputation of their wealthy family, but also the reputation of him as the eldest lady. After all, what he did in the first place was an immoral thing.
Liu Suyu didn't dare to tell her parents the whole story, so she could only say, "Mom and Dad, let's leave quickly. This place is no longer suitable for us to live. If we don't leave quickly, it will be bad if there are any troubles. I have already thought of a place to go. Let's pack our bags and leave quickly. Don't delay any longer."
Although Liu's father and mother didn't know why their daughter did this, they knew that she was doing it for their own good, so they hurried back to pack their luggage.
That afternoon they hurriedly slipped out through the back door, planning to hire a carriage to head towards the trail. As for where they were going, Liu Suyu still hadn't figured it out.
Although they left, she still felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.
Liu Suyu and her family had just stepped onto the trail when they vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves.
She thought to herself that this was bad. If they caught up with her, everything would be leaked.
Soon, several people riding tall horses appeared in front of them. The coachman was frightened and quickly stopped the carriage and left this place.
The man riding the tall horse said to the people in the carriage: "Come out quickly, everyone inside. As long as you follow us back obediently, we will not do anything to you. If you don't obey, then we will send you on your way."
Father and Mother Liu looked at their daughter at a loss. Father Liu asked, "Daughter, have you offended someone? They are here to hunt us down, right?"
Liu Suyu nodded. It was indeed true, but she didn't dare to tell her parents the truth.
"So what should we do now? We can't just hide forever. Those people are out to kill us."
"These people are paid to do things for others, so they will never be reasonable. Let's find out the truth and go back with them, otherwise our lives will be in danger."
This was said by Liu's mother.
So the family of three got off the car, and the other men also got off their horses, walked up to the family of three, and said directly: "Come with us, otherwise you will not survive today."
Liu Suyu suddenly knelt in front of them.
"Brothers, please let us go. We are just ordinary people who have offended someone we shouldn't have offended. Don't worry, we will keep our mouths shut and will never tell anyone else what we know. I will keep it to myself forever and won't let anyone else know."
"Our lady has said that only the dead cannot speak. If you don't come back with us, then we will have no choice but to get rid of you. This way, we won't have to worry about future troubles."
These rich people are really ruthless. In order to achieve their goals, they are willing to harm the lives of innocent people.
If no one comes to rescue them today, they will be dead.
If she had known this would happen, she would rather marry an ordinary man. Now she married a rich man and gave birth to a son. However, she claimed to me that her son was dead and that I could no longer worry about him. This was a huge blow to her, but she still had to live on. After all, if she was lucky in the future, she would still have a son to rely on.
"Miss, please don't embarrass us. We are also doing things for others in exchange for money. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you shouldn't be alive in this world."
The implication of this statement was simple, that is, he was doomed to die, leaving her no chance to regret, nor any chance of survival.
Just when he didn't know how to change the situation, Liu's father gave them an idea.
Everyone looked at Father Liu, and the leader asked, "What good ideas can you, an old man, come up with?"
Father Liu spoke slowly, "It's very simple. That is to poison my daughter and make her mute. Only in this way can she keep her mouth shut about the things you are worried about. In this way, you can spare her life."
Liu Suyu looked at her father in disbelief.
I didn't expect my father to come up with such an idea. Although she has some looks, if she can't speak, her quality of life will definitely be greatly reduced in the future.
What's the point of him living in this world? But there is also a saying that it is better for a good person to live a miserable life than to die.
There is always hope while you are alive.
But Liu's mother disagreed with Liu's father's approach. After all, she only had this one daughter, and if she was poisoned and made mute, her daughter would be incomplete.
So she also knelt down and begged these people to let her daughter go.
She said: "My dear brothers, I know you are taking money to do this for others. What I want to say is that we also have some money. Can we give you this money and let us go? We really don't want to die."
In fact, they are all people who are half buried in the ground. They are not cowards at all. They just don’t want to stage a tragedy of the old sending off the young.
But these people are also living on the edge of a knife. How could they possibly listen to them? After all, the other party offered a lot of money, and they must take her life.
But a younger brother next to him said, "Brother, what the old man said makes sense. We take money from people and half-kill them, but we don't say we must take their lives. The old man said we can drug his daughter so that she can't talk. As long as she can't talk, she can't tell anyone about it. As for the two old couples, they definitely don't know. If they knew, they wouldn't react like they did just now."
So the big brother in black took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and asked his younger brother to give it to Liu Suyu.
Liu Suyu looked at the medicine bottle handed to her, and her hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.
In her eyes, that small bottle seemed to be the entrance to endless darkness. Once opened, her life would be completely rewritten.
Her lips trembled, but no sound came out. Her heart was filled with despair and fear.
Seeing this, Liu's mother rushed over, grabbed the medicine bottle in her hand, and protected it tightly behind her, crying, "No, absolutely not! How can you bastards be so cruel to a girl!"
Father Liu's face also flashed with pain and struggle. He lowered his head, not daring to look directly into his daughter's eyes, and stammered, "My daughter, I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do..."
The big brother in black frowned and said impatiently: "Old woman, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit! Either let her drink the medicine, or all three of you will die!"
After saying that, he waved his hand, and his younger brothers drew out the sharp blades at their waists. The cold light flashed, and the atmosphere became tense.
The big brother in black asked again: "Do you want to drink or not? If not, then I can only let them ask you to leave."
