Chapter 36: Successful Escape

 On this day, the women of the Cheng family went to work like other prisoners and came back in the evening.

After a busy whole day, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted. After a quick dinner, they went to bed.

At night, in the quiet yard, five men in black sneaked in silently.

In the moonlight, the five men looked at each other, and the one in the middle made two gestures. The other four men immediately dispersed, with two people approaching a house and breaking in through the window.

The man in black who gave the order walked into the main room and waited.

But after a moment, bursts of puffing sounds were heard.

Soon, the other four men in black came to the main hall with bloody knives.

The five people completed their mission and were about to leave.

Suddenly, several broken clay pots were thrown in from outside and rolled to the feet of several people, with thick smoke still coming out of the mouths of the pots.

"Oh no, cover your mouth and nose and get out of here!"

A man in black shouted, but it was too late. As soon as he finished shouting, the man rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

After that man fell, the other four also fainted.

Two men with their faces covered ran in from outside, and one of them kicked one of the men in black in the calf.

"Madam's drug is really powerful."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

That's right, these two people are Cheng Feng and Cheng Huo.

The two men poured tung oil all over the yard, then set it on fire. After it was completely burned, they quickly left.

The fire burned for a long time, and by the time it was discovered, the people in the house had already been burned to a crisp, and their original appearance could not be seen at all.

The next morning, everyone in Beihuang City was talking about one thing.

On the second day after the Cheng family's female members arrived in Beihuang City, all of them were burned to death.

Soon, news came from outside the city that two escorts who left the city yesterday to return to Beijing to report were encountered by bandits on the road, hacked to death and thrown off a cliff.

The women of the Cheng family had already left the courtyard through the underground secret passage last night and were now in the City Lord's Mansion.

Just as Wang Erniu said yesterday, they actually moved into the City Lord's Mansion.

He was still treated as a distinguished guest and was welcomed in respectfully by the Chen family father and son.

Chen Ying's father, Chen Delin, was supported by the housekeeper and walked in front of Old Madam Cheng. He knelt down and covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Madam, the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion was in trouble, and I was unable to help. I am really, really ashamed!"

Seeing his father's actions, Chen Ying also knelt down.

Old Madam Cheng quickly helped the father and son up.

"Please stand up quickly. Now that you two can lend a hand and help us get out of this situation, it is already a great favor to the Cheng family."

"Please don't say that. Once you are a soldier of the Cheng family, you will be a soldier of the Cheng family for life!"

Chen Delin was so excited that all the energy and blood in his body rushed to his forehead. He felt dizzy and his eyes went dark. He immediately covered his head and almost fell down.

"Father, be careful!"

Chen Ying was shocked and nervously helped him walk to the side and sat down.

Then he shouted orders to the butler.

"Go find a doctor!"

After receiving a signal from her mother-in-law, Meng stepped forward.

"If you two don't mind, I'd like to take a look for Mr. Chen?"

Chen Ying nodded repeatedly.

"I've heard that the wife of Marquis Pingnan is an excellent doctor. This is great. Thank you very much."

Meng smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"The Marquis' Mansion is gone, and I am no longer the wife of the Marquis of Pingnan."

Then she reached out to feel Chen Delin's pulse, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

"But I have a headache from time to time, and I feel dizzy when I move suddenly?"

Chen Delin nodded.

Meng sighed.

"It is indeed a symptom of hyperactivity of liver yang."

Hearing her words, An Luo thought about it and felt that the symptoms sounded familiar. To be on the safe side, she opened Baidu to search again.

"Liver yang is rising? Isn't that... high blood pressure?"

She quickly ran to the bedroom, took out the medicine box, and found the blood pressure medicine.

"Yuan, put your hands behind your back. I'm going to give you something. Let's do this quietly so no one else finds out."

The little fellow pursed his lips, nodded imperceptibly, shuffled his little feet a little, and quietly retreated to his mother and aunts.

I hid behind my mother, because the fairy sister said that I had to be quiet and not let anyone see me.

Yu An didn't dare to make any big movements. His little head was just straight, not shaking at all. He opened his big black eyes and looked left and right. When he saw that no one was noticing him, he let out a long sigh.

In fact, it's not that no one saw it. The Cheng family now pays more attention to Xiao Yu'an than before, plus she was kidnapped before.

It can be said that the Cheng family cannot let the little guy out of their sight for a moment, and someone must be paying attention to him at all times.

Didn't you see the sisters Tian Qin and Cheng Qiuluo look at him for a while, then look away before being discovered, until their eyes were cramped?

Well, the little guy didn't want them to notice, so they just pretended not to see it.

Little Yu'an, who thought he had concealed himself well, had his hands behind his back with his arms slightly open. He stood straight and tried hard to look as if nothing had happened. He looked so adorable.

[Sister Fairy, Yu'an is ready! ]

Anluo sent a small medicine bottle over.

Xiao Yuan only felt something appear in his hand. He quickly held it tightly and then quietly brought it to the front.

Unexpectedly, the medicine bottle was shaken, making a rattling sound.

The little guy was so frightened that his body trembled. He quickly raised his head and looked around, and the baby fat on his cheeks trembled.

"Cough cough cough!"

What else could Tian Qin do? She could only help him cover it up.

She covered her lips and coughed softly twice.

The little guy looked at her worriedly.

"What happened to mother?"

Tian Qin smiled and shook her head.

"Mother is fine, she just choked on her saliva."

The Cheng Qiuruo sisters pursed their lips and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Choked by saliva? Sister-in-law, this excuse is really...

Good!

Hearing that his mother was fine, Yu An felt relieved and concentrated on fiddling with the small medicine bottle in his hand.

[Sister Fairy, what should Yu An do? ]

"Yuan quietly tells your grandmother that this medicine can relieve Mr. Chen's symptoms. Take one tablet first, no more than two tablets a day, with a five-hour interval between the two."

The little guy nodded in confusion, then walked to his grandmother with his short legs and shook her sleeve.

"Grandma, Yu'an wants to tell you something in private."

The little guy pulled his grandmother to the corner and took out the medicine bottle.

Hearing the babyish voice beside her, Mrs. Meng looked hesitantly at Old Madam Cheng beside her.

Old Madam Cheng nodded slightly at her calmly.

Only then did Meng pour out a pill and return to the Chen father and son.

"This is... a miraculous medicine I got by chance. It is very effective for the hyperactivity of liver yang."

Chen Ying's eyes flashed, and before he could say anything, Father Chen had already reached out to take it.

But there was a hand that was faster than his.

With a "pop" sound, Meng's hand was beaten red and the pills fell to the ground.

"Stop! Who are you? Do you know any medical skills? How dare you give Mr. Chen random medicine?!"
