Days passed, and the entire Chu family was intensively preparing for Grandpa Chu's 70th birthday.
If this was left in previous years, it would not have been so lively at all. It was just because the Miss Chu family was given marriage to the King of England, and by the way, those dignitaries who basically did not move around on weekdays sent invitations one by one. , wanting to have a relationship with the Chu family, which made the Chu family's face brighten all of a sudden, so the old grandfather Chu waved his hand and organized this birthday banquet.
But it is precisely because of this reason that Chu Qingyan was able to see this opportunity, because she knew that on the day of the birthday banquet, the entire Chu family would be full of traffic, and the chances of her and her parents slipping away would be greatly increased.
Chu Qingyan seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, her heart had long since become impatient because of the approaching time, and her expectation was accompanied by a faint fear, which was curiosity and fear of the unknown.
Fortunately, she was only a child, and no one would notice her mood changes, but she could feel that the guards in the yard seemed to gradually loosen up for her. She guessed that it was because tomorrow was Grandpa Chu's 70th birthday, and there were not enough staff, so she was transferred away.
Although she thought so, Chu Qingyan felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She looked up at the darkening night, and there was something in her heart that she couldn't explain, but tomorrow was the chance for them to escape. No matter what happened, she couldn't change her decision.
So she carried a burden, secretly opened the window, and when no one was around, stepped on the dressing chair and crawled out with difficulty. She couldn't escape tonight, but she had to put on the disguised clothes she had prepared for the past few days. Send it to the parents' room, otherwise it will be too late to wear it tomorrow.
What Chu Qingyan didn't know was that when she walked away in the dark, the person hiding in the corner showed a malicious smile, and then sneakily followed.
"Lord Huo Ling, the little miss of the Chu family seems to be being watched." The man in black on the eaves looked at the large group of people below, and couldn't help but report to the people in front of him.
"What's the matter with me?" Huo Ling looked down at the slender figure walking between the paths, showing a look of disdain.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the man in black, Lord Huo Ling, are you sure you are here to protect the young lady of the Chu family? You and Shui Ling-sama clearly promised you well. Tonight, Shui Ling-sama will let you come to the Chu family. If something goes wrong, you will probably be dismembered by Shui-Ling-sama!
It seemed that he felt the strange expression of his subordinates, and then Huo Ling reacted. He actually said the most real thoughts in his heart. He coughed lightly, and then ordered, "The little miss of the Chu family seems to be in danger, let's hurry up and follow. Go and see!"
There was another drop of cold sweat on the forehead of the man in black, and the speed at which Lord Huo Ling changed his face was really too fast!
Chu Qingyan didn't know that the danger was approaching little by little. Mother Chu just opened the door. Chu Qingyan saw her mother happily and wanted to step forward, but she saw her face turned pale all of a sudden.
Just when she was confused, the red fire spread from behind her, dragging her figure in front of her, reflecting her mother's terrified eyes.
There are only two words left in Chu Qingyan's heart at the moment, bad!
was discovered.
As if confirming her thoughts, a voice of hiding a knife in a smile sounded from behind her.
"Qingyan, what are you doing here if you don't sleep at night?"
It was Aunt Ertang's voice.
Chu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then tightened the burden on her hand, and the panic on her face was suddenly hidden. She used her eyes to comfort the mother in front of her, and then turned around calmly, and the burden in her hand also followed. behind her back.
Chu Qingyan turned around with a smile, just in time to meet the smirk of the second aunt, who was bright with the torch. The sarcasm in her eyes seemed a little hideous in the dark night. She was already surrounded by people, and Chu Qingyan understood in her heart. It seemed that this time they were already ready and waiting for her to fall into the trap. She raised her eyebrows, not knowing where she was showing her flaws.
"Second aunt, my niece hasn't seen her parents for a long time, so she came to visit them specially." Since the other party knew what to ask, she also opened her eyes and lied.
"Haha—" Mrs. Xing stepped forward, and the big maid Baochun by her side supported her, approaching step by step, like a dark Yaksha, approaching the prey with her teeth and claws, "Qingyan, you really think I'm blind, Don't think I didn't see the burden in your hands. Spring!"
The icy smile on Mrs. Xing's face turned to ruthless mockery, and she suddenly spoke out, causing Chu Qingyan to take a step back. was taken away.
"Open!" Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, and then she tore off her bag, and the two clothes inside were shaken to the ground.
Mrs. Xing lifted her foot and stepped on the clothes of the two servant girls, looked down at Chu Qingyan, and said with a half smile, "Qingyan, tell Aunt Ertang, what are you doing with these clothes when visiting your parents in the middle of the night? ?"
Chu Qingyan frowned and looked at the clothes that had been stained with footprints, but her face was replaced by a pitiful look, "Second aunt, Qingyan saw that her father and mother could not eat well and dressed warmly, so she thought of bringing it with her. These clothes are for parents to wear, please don't blame Ertang aunt."
Mrs. Xing turned to look at her elder sister-in-law with contempt, "Sister-in-law, you said that the Chu family has treated you badly? You actually let Qingyan do this kind of sneaky thing. If it spreads out, what kind of face does the Chu family have? You are also a big door. How come you didn't even consider this?"
"Second aunt, you are not allowed to say that about my mother!" Chu Qingyan suppressed her emotions and said with a sullen mouth.
"Speaking of adults, don't interrupt children!" Madam Xing glared at him angrily.
Mother Chu hurriedly stepped forward to protect her daughter, and said with trembling lips, "Second cousin, it's because I didn't teach you to look good, so I don't blame her."
"Mother—" Chu Qingyan felt a little sad.
Mother Chu shook her head at her. At this time, it would be best if they could get away with it, otherwise they didn't know what kind of punishment would be waiting for their family.
Chu Qingyan could understand her mother's intention to calm things down, but she knew that this matter would not be so simple, otherwise Aunt Ertang would not stay here on purpose.
as predicted.
Mrs. Xing shook her head in embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, it's not that my younger siblings don't want to help you, but my parents already know about this, so please come with me now!"
Mother Chu's face suddenly lost its blood, and Chu Qingyan clenched her hands tightly.
