Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 15

The days passed day by day, and the whole Chu family was in full swing preparing for the [-]th birthday of Old Master Chu.

If this was in previous years, it would not have been so lively at all. It was just because the Miss Chu family was given a marriage to the King of England. By the way, those dignitaries who did not move around on weekdays sent invitations one by one. , wanted to cling to the Chu family, which made the Chu family look good all of a sudden, so the old man Chu waved his hand and organized the birthday banquet wantonly.

But it was precisely because of this reason that Chu Qingyan took this opportunity right, because she knew that on the day of the birthday banquet, the entire Chu family would definitely be full of traffic, and the chances of her and her parents slipping away would be greatly increased.

Chu Qingyan looked calm on the surface, but in fact, her heart was already impatient because of the approaching time. She was looking forward to it and also had a faint fear, which was curiosity and fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, she is only a child, and no one will notice her emotional changes, but she can feel that the guards against her in the yard seem to be slowly becoming lax.She guessed it was because Mrs. Chu's [-]th birthday was tomorrow, and there was not enough manpower, so she was transferred away.

Even though she thought so, Chu Qingyan felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She looked up at the gradually darkening night, and there was something wrong in her heart that she couldn't explain clearly, but tomorrow was their chance to escape, and no matter what happened, she couldn't change her decision.

So she carried a burden on her back, opened the window secretly, and when no one was around, she stepped on the dressing chair and climbed out with great difficulty. Send it to your parents' room, otherwise it may be too late to wear it tomorrow.

What Chu Qingyan didn't know was that when she left in the dark, the person hiding in the corner showed a malicious smile, and then sneaked after her
"Master Huo Ling, it seems that the young lady of the Chu family is being targeted." The man in black on the roof looked at the crowd of people below, and couldn't help reporting to the person in front of him.

"What's none of my business?" Huo Ling looked down at the thin figure shuttling through the path, showing a look of disdain.

There was a drop of cold sweat on the forehead of the man in black. Lord Huo Ling, are you sure you are here to protect the young miss of the Chu family?Obviously, you and Master Shui Ling made a good promise, Master Shui Ling only let you come to the Chu family tonight, if there is any mistake, you will probably be torn to pieces by Master Shui Ling!

Seemingly feeling the strange expression of his subordinates, Huo Ling finally realized that he actually expressed the most true thoughts in his heart. He coughed lightly twice, and then ordered, "Miss Chu family seems to be in danger, let's follow Go and see!"

Another drop of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in black. Master Huo Ling's face-changing speed is really too fast!

Chu Qingyan had no idea that the danger was approaching little by little. As soon as Chu's mother opened the door, Chu Qingyan saw her mother happily wanting to go forward, but seeing her, her face suddenly turned pale.

Just when she was confused, the red flames spread from behind her, dragging her figure longer in front of her, and reflected the frightened eyes of her mother red.

There are only two words left in Chu Qingyan's heart at the moment, bad!

Was discovered.

As if confirming her thoughts, a voice with a hidden smile sounded from behind her.

"Qingyan, you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"

It was Aunt Ertang's voice.

Chu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then tightened the burden in her hand, the panic on her face disappeared instantly, she comforted the mother in front of her with her eyes, then turned around calmly, and the burden in her hand followed suit. behind her.

Chu Qingyan turned around with a smile, just in time to meet Ertang Auntie's smirking expression under the bright torches, the sarcasm in her eyes looked a bit ferocious in the dark night, she swept her eyes lightly, and saw that the outside of the dilapidated hut Already surrounded by the servants, Chu Qingyan understood in her heart, it seemed that they were ready to fall into the trap this time, she raised her eyebrows, and she didn't know where she showed her flaws.

"Aunt Ertang, my niece hasn't seen her parents for a long time, so I came to visit them specially." Since the other party knew what to ask, she opened her eyes and told lies.

"Hehe——" Mrs. Xing stepped forward, and Baochun, the big maid beside her, supported her, and approached step by step, like a dark yaksha, approaching the prey with its teeth and claws, "Qingyan, you really think I am blind , don’t think that I didn’t see the burden in your hand. Announce the spring!”

The icy smile on Mrs. Xing's face turned into a ruthless mockery, and she made a sudden noise, causing Chu Qingyan to take a step back, but she was small and not strong enough, and the burden in her hand still did not escape Baochun's interception. To be drawn away.

"Open!" Mrs. Xing snorted coldly, and then Baochun tore away the bundle, and the two clothes inside were shaken to the ground.

Mrs. Xing stepped on the two maidservant clothes, looked down at Chu Qingyan, and said with a half-smile, "Qingyan, tell Aunt Ertang what you are doing with these clothes when you visit 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, "Aunt Ertang, Qingyan saw that her parents couldn't eat well, that's why she thought about taking them with her. These clothes are for parents to wear, please don't blame Ertang Auntie."

Mrs. Xing turned to look at her sister-in-law with contempt, "Sister-in-law, you said the Chu family treated you badly? You actually let Qingyan do such a sneaky thing. If it gets out, what face does the Chu family have? You are also a big family." Why didn't you even consider this when you came out of here?"

"Aunt Ertang, you are not allowed to say that about my mother!" Chu Qingyan suppressed her emotions and said with a pursed mouth.

"Sir, don't interrupt children!" Mrs. Xing glared at him angrily.

Chu's mother hurried forward to protect her daughter, and said with trembling lips, "Second cousin, it's because I didn't teach you to show off my face, 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 she could get away with it, otherwise, what kind of punishment awaits her family.

Chu Qingyan could understand her mother's desire 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 the siblings don't want to help you, but that the parents already know about this matter, so please come with me now!"

Chu's mother's face suddenly lost all color, and Chu Qingyan clenched her hands tightly. It seemed that this catastrophe could not be avoided.
