I became a stepmother and got rich with my cute baby.

By now, the war has been going on for several years. Although Xuancheng has sufficient troops, it is constrained by insufficient rations and is eventually conquered. The first thing the enemy does when entering the city is to massacre the people.

At that time, Xuancheng was filled with smoke and corpses. The people were suffering and displaced. The situation improved only after the new city lord took office.

But for some unknown reason, everyone in the city was suddenly poisoned overnight. Later, after investigation, it was found that someone had maliciously poisoned the water source, causing many nearby streams and rivers to become poisonous.

The people could not drink the water at all, and eight out of ten people died of thirst or poisoning, so water has now become a commodity more valuable than gold.

Moreover, every day, people who could not bear the lack of water would drink the water from the stream and die of poisoning. The corpses were thrown at the city gate and piled up into a small hill. It was said that the area within miles was filled with resentment and no one dared to approach. It was like purgatory on earth!

Song Wanqing frowned and gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her chest. She clenched her fists, and her black eyes were frosty and as cold as a blade.

"The poisoning issue has not been resolved yet, and we have no other choice but to go into the mountains to look for a ray of hope."

Wen Lingyue sighed, her face full of anger and helplessness, but soon, she suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and a smile reappeared on her lips. She stared straight at Cheng Qian'an and teased.

"Young Master, if you want to know anything else, just ask. I will answer them for you one by one! But in exchange, you have to tell me your name."

As he spoke, Wen Lingyue moved slowly, and without knowing when, he had already approached Cheng Qian'an, with a smile of triumph on his face that was about to overflow.

Song Wanqing was displeased and answered first: "His name is Cheng Qi'an."

At the same time, he reached out and pulled him back to his side.

Seeing this, Wen Lingyue immediately frowned, looked at Song Wanqing with dissatisfaction, and said: "I know you are Mr. Cheng's wife, but you don't have to be so strict, otherwise Mr. Cheng will get tired of your control and turn to someone else's arms. Don't be sad."

Oh! Song Wanqing raised her eyebrows, stepped back, and naturally held Cheng Qian'an's arm with both hands. A gentle smile spread across her face, like the spring breeze in March, eclipsing everything around her.

She opened her red lips slightly, and then, her watery eyes looked at Cheng Qian'an lovingly, with a bit of grievance, and said: "Husband, Miss Wen said that you will get tired of me one day, will you?"

Cheng Qian'an's deep eyes were immediately filled with heartache. His tall body directly enveloped Song Wanqing. He bent slightly and buried his head in her neck, saying aggrievedly: "My lady, if you don't dislike me, that's good. I won't dislike you, my lady."

Wen Lingyue's face turned green and red, she really wanted to go up and separate the couple! Such a handsome Mr. Cheng was actually taken away by that woman, what a waste of talent!

"My wife will never dislike my husband. I just want to keep him by my side all day long..."

What a big dog-food-showing scene! Everyone was directly shocked. They turned their eyes away, but kept teasing the loving couple.

Song Wanqing glanced at Wen Lingyue out of the corner of his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, which almost stimulated Wen Lingyue to jump to her feet!

"You guys! Do you think I don't exist?" She couldn't stand it anymore and roared in a low voice.

Song Wanqing then let go of Cheng Qian'an, and gently brushed her black hair with her slender fingers, and said casually: "Oh, Miss Wen, I forgot one thing. You are now our defeated enemies. According to the rules, you must work as coolies and earn enough points before you can regain your freedom."

Wen Lingyue's eyes widened. She pointed at herself and asked incredulously, "You want me to be a laborer?"

"Are you mistaken? I'm here to rob and attack the stronghold, not to work as a laborer for you!"

"Hey! Don't go too far, or I'll kill you!"

Song Wanqing watched Wen Lingyue being forcibly taken away with a smile in his eyes, and waved his hand. The farce finally ended, and the people returned to their rooms to prepare for bed.

Song Wanqing took the two sleeping little ones from the old lady and brought them back to the room, but she was not sleepy at all, as her mind was full of the situation in Xuancheng.

If what Wen Lingyue said was true, she absolutely could not sit idly by, then she would need to go to Xuancheng. What's more... she could take this opportunity to save people and earn merit points, so why not do it?

At this moment, light footsteps entered the room.

Cheng Qi'an's figure passed through the darkness, and his handsome face became clearer. As soon as he came up, he held Song Wanqing's small hand, his palm was moist and hot, and he said: "Madam, are you unhappy?"

The warm feeling spread through her palms and spread throughout her body. Song Wanqing's frown finally relaxed. She comforted him, "Don't worry, Qi'an. I'm fine. It's just that...something is happening to the people of the world right now. I can't just sit back and watch. So, I plan to go to Xuancheng to check out the situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Qian'an immediately became uneasy. He hugged Song Wanqing tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

His voice trembled: "No, Xuancheng, it's dangerous!"

Even Cheng Qi'an knew that Xuancheng was dangerous, so she had no reason not to go.

Thinking of this, Song Wanqing lowered her eyebrows, a look of sympathy appeared on her face, and she instructed: "We can't waste time, I have to leave tomorrow morning, Qi'an, you stay in the village and help me take care of these two little guys, and also, keep an eye on Wen Lingyue and his group."

Cheng Qian'an's face was full of grievance. He kept shaking his head and his breathing became rapid. "No! I want to go too!"

"No." Song Wanqing refused directly.

Cheng Qian'an pursed his lips and said nothing, staring at Song Wanqing with a pair of determined and aggrieved eyes.

He looked so much like a cat, so proud and stubborn that Song Wanqing couldn't help but feel pity for him. After a long silence, she sighed helplessly. She knew that she couldn't persuade Cheng Qian'an at all. If she didn't agree, there was no telling what he would do.

She could only say: "Okay, you can go with me, but you must be obedient and not leave my sight, understand?"

As he spoke, Song Wanqing felt a little nervous.

In these turbulent times, swords and spears are merciless. She dare not guarantee Cheng Qian'an's safety 100%. What should she do if something goes wrong?

The next day.

Song Wanqing and Cheng Qian'an rushed to Xuancheng. There were almost no pedestrians on the road. When they were about a mile away from Xuancheng, they finally saw a group of people gathered in front of them, brandishing swords and guns, and no one knew what they were doing.

Song Wanqing squinted her eyes and looked carefully, only to find that it was actually a group of robbers who were robbing! She seemed to see the merit value waving at her, and she smiled and took Cheng Qian'an's hand and quickened her pace.

What was robbed was a horse-drawn carriage that was luxuriously decorated. There were two carriages carrying supplies following behind it. It was obvious that the family was a wealthy one. The robbers threatened the people in the carriage to get off. A couple dressed luxuriously got off in a hurry, followed closely by a young man.

The young man had a white face, black hair, a slender figure, and probably a rather hot-tempered character. His eyes were full of anger, and he cursed, "Bah! A bunch of beasts!" Then he rushed forward.
