The few people ignored Lu Yanluo's struggle and captured her and sent her back to Old Man Li's home.

At this time, Old Man Li was just able to move, and was furious and wanted to go out to catch someone, but he didn't expect that the person had already been caught by the villagers.

"You should be more careful. You can't even keep an eye on your wife, how come you let her run away?"

When the villagers said this, Old Man Li felt even more ashamed. Without saying a word, he raised his hand with a fierce face and slapped Lu Yanluo, knocking her to the ground.

"I told you to run! Bitch!" Old man Li got hot-headed and didn't care about anything else. He kicked Lu Yanluo again and again.

Seeing that the man was motionless, the villagers were afraid that someone might die, so they quickly pulled Old Man Li away and advised him, "Forget it, forget it, stop beating him, or he might be beaten to death."

Old man Li then gave up and picked up Lu Yanluo and locked her up in a small room nearby.

"Just stay inside and come out when you have thought it through! What bad luck!" Old man Li spat, slammed the door shut and left.

Lu Yanluo was seriously injured. She lay on the ground for a while and vaguely heard people talking outside.

"Forget it, forget it. Women are always like this when they first come here. Yours is good enough. She's beautiful and can give birth to a big fat boy for you. Just be content."

"That's right, wait until she's out, and then you can enjoy the happiness!"

The person outside the door laughed evilly, which made Lu Yanluo feel a little scared. She had a bad guess.

Why do people who are making trouble in the bridal chamber remain indifferent when they see their hands are tied?

Why did those people send me back after I ran away, and it seemed like they were used to running away.

And why are there people at the entrance of the village so late at night? Are they trying to prevent me from escaping?

If this is true, then what kind of place is this? It is no surprise for the people who were kidnapped from outside.

Over the next few days, Old Man Li brought food and some medicine every day. Lu Yanluo learned her lesson this time and ate and applied medicine obediently.

She decided to pretend to be submissive on the surface so that Old Man Li would relax his guard against her and at least get out of the room first.

Sure enough, a few days later, Old Man Li opened the door and let Lu Yanluo out.

Lu Yanluo was still very obedient and consciously helped Old Man Li with the housework. Perhaps because of the injuries on Lu Yanluo's body, Old Man Li did not touch her anymore, which made Lu Yanluo feel relieved.

There were several times when villagers came to deliver things to Old Man Li, and Lu Yanluo met them at the gate of the courtyard. The villagers looked at Lu Yanluo's kind smile and unconsciously let down their guard.

After a few times, the villagers felt that Lu Yanluo had been tamed and could live peacefully with Old Man Li.

Because of the villagers' persuasion and Lu Yanluo's well-behaved behavior, Old Man Li gradually relaxed his guard against Lu Yanluo.

On the other side, Chu Xuan and his men turned the entire capital upside down, but still failed to find Lu Yanluo. Instead, Chu Yao and Chu Yuan were sent back.

Chu Yao said that he and Chu Yuan were knocked unconscious by someone, and when they woke up again they were already at the gate of the Night King's Mansion. The two children had no idea what had happened in between.

Not only that, on the day when Chu Yuan and Chu Yao were sent back, Chu Xuan sent people to look for the old man again, only to find that the old man had disappeared long ago.

Chu Xuan left some secret guards to monitor the old man's actions secretly that day, but the man disappeared right under the secret guards' noses.

Chu Xuan became more and more worried about Lu Yanluo's safety. All signs indicated that this was obviously a trap designed by someone, and the target was Lu Yanluo.

The more anxious he was, the more clueless he became. Chu Xuan sent people out to investigate, but there were no clues. Whether it was the real culprit who knocked Chu Yao and Chu Yuan unconscious, or the strange old man, they all disappeared in the capital at one time.

In the study, Chu Xuan was depressed and drank to drown his sorrows.

Chu Yao saw this, pushed open the door and walked in, stood in front of Chu Xuan, and said: "Father, mother has not been found yet, you can't give up, maybe mother is waiting for you to save her. Yaoyao and Yuanyuan can't live without mother, father, you can definitely save mother!"

Chu Xuan raised his hand and patted Chu Yao on the head. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Yes, father will definitely rescue mother. He will!"

He absolutely cannot give up. Lu Yanluo might be suffering somewhere at this moment. If he gives up, what will Lu Yanluo do?

In the village, Lu Yanluo, who had been suffering, has had a better life recently. Old Man Li has now allowed her to walk around the village.

By listening to the villagers' idle chatter over the past few days, Lu Yanluo summed up some information. This place is called Lijia Village, which is three hundred miles away from the capital. The village is very small, and it takes a day's walk to the nearest Fenghua Town. It is very isolated.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Yanluo met a woman in the village. Like herself, this woman was also poisoned and mute and could not speak. Fortunately, the woman could read, and Lu Yanluo was overjoyed. The two of them learned about each other's experiences through writing.

The woman's name was Ayun. She was the concubine of an old man in the village. What surprised Lu Yanluo was that this woman was also captured like herself. They said that she was bought. In order to prevent her from escaping, the old man who bought her also poisoned her and made her mute.

Lu Yanluo's guess was confirmed. This village was indeed accustomed to captured women, because there were more than one, or even more.

"Do you want to leave here?"

Lu Yanluo wrote down what she was going to say stroke by stroke.

Ayun hesitated and didn't dare to answer. It has been a year since she was captured. She thought about escaping at the beginning, but failed every time. She was beaten all over every time. She was scared of it.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo understood Ayun's hesitation and wrote again: "I can take you out, but you have to help me find the way. And I need an antidote for the poison in my body."

Ah Yu hesitated for a while, lowered his head and wrote word by word: "I only know the way to the town. As for the poison, I will help you steal the antidote. Can you really take me away?"

Lu Yanluo nodded affirmatively: "I am the princess of the Ye Palace in the capital, Lu Yanluo, the prince must be looking for me everywhere now, let's escape to the town temporarily and ask the government for help."

Knowing that Lu Yanluo was the princess, Ayun finally gained confidence and nodded firmly: "I will help you steal the antidote tonight."

Lu Yanluo originally asked for the antidote in the hope of finding it, but she didn't expect that there was actually one in the village, but...

"Since there is an antidote, why can't you speak?"

Ah Yu's mood instantly dropped: "I've been poisoned for too long, and the antidote is useless. But you've just been poisoned for a short time, you will definitely be fine, just wait for me!"
