Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Lian Rongrong looked outside through the amber. At this moment, Meng Yuyan was standing next to Qi Wangsheng with a smug look on her face, while Qi Rou and Qi Liushi were even more obsequious and ingratiating upon hearing this.

“Miss, look at this family. How could the master have been so blind to insist on marrying you into the Qi family?”

As soon as she spoke, Chun Tao realized she had misspoke. When she turned to look at her mistress, she saw her frowning and looking serious.

"Miss, Chun Tao spoke without thinking. I was wrong."

Chun Tao quickly admitted her mistake, but Lian Rongrong gestured for her to be quiet. Only then did Chun Tao realize that her mistress's expression was one of tension, not anger.

Following the young lady's gaze, Chun Tao saw Qi Rou walking towards them.

Just as Qi Rou was about to bend down to pick up the amber ring from the ground, the butler's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Old woman, Second Master, something terrible has happened! People from the General's Mansion have arrived!"

The people inside immediately tensed up, and Qi Rou no longer cared about the worthless ring on the ground.

"Mother, what do we do now? What if the General's Mansion comes after us for our people? How are we supposed to explain this?"

Even though my second sister-in-law is a princess, that wretched woman Rongrong is still the daughter of a general; we can't just abandon her for no reason.

Qi Rou had been raised in the inner quarters for many years. Although she was ruthless, she could still panic when faced with trouble.

In contrast, Meng Yuyan's calmness was frightening.

"Explain? What's there to explain? If anyone should be explaining, it should be the General's Mansion explaining to the Qi family."

"What do you mean by that?" Lady Qi asked.

“Mother-in-law, Wang Sheng has never shared a room with that slut, yet she is pregnant.”

During this time, her mother-in-law was unaware of the situation and took good care of her. Today, Wang Sheng returned and revealed everything.

That shameless woman has lost all face and fled on her own. Shouldn't the General's Mansion give us an explanation for this?"

Qi Liu nodded in agreement, "Yan'er is right, it is the General's Mansion that should give us an explanation."

After Qi Liushi and the others left, Lian Rongrong took the child and Chun Tao out of the space.

"The Qi family has gone too far! How could they smear Miss like this!"

Before Lian Rongrong could speak, Chun Tao couldn't help but start cursing at the Qi family.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Qi Wangsheng wants my life. We need to find a way to leave as soon as possible."

As Lian Rongrong put the amber ring on her finger, she instructed Chun Tao:

“Take all the dressing case by the bedside and the gold and silver in the box.”

Yes, yes, take all the dowry with them; we can't let those scoundrels get away with it.

The little guy blinked his eyes, his big, dark eyes fixed on Lian Rongrong.

Lian Rongrong looked down at the baby in her arms, feeling both amused and helpless. However, the little guy was absolutely right; they really couldn't let this scoundrel get away with it.

"We'll take everything from the storeroom too. Chun Tao, let's go to the storeroom."

Strangely enough, after leaving the space, Lian Rongrong felt that the pain in her body had lessened a lot, and she had regained her strength in her legs.

But she couldn't think about that right now; she just carried the child and led Chun Tao toward the warehouse.

Since Lian Rong married into the Qi family, Madam Qi Liu has entrusted the management of the household affairs to Lian Rong. This is not because Madam Qi Liu dislikes managing the household, but because the Qi family does not have much money.

Qi Liu knew that Lian Rong's dowry was generous, and since Lian Rong was in charge of managing the household, she would always help out whenever there was a financial deficit.

And that's exactly what Lian Rong did in the year she married into the Qi family.

Thinking of all the foolish things Lian Rong had done over the past year, Lian Rongrong couldn't help but shake her head. All women in the world are like that.

Even Rongrong gave her heart, but it was all for naught.

"Chuntao, open the door." Lian Rongrong looked around to make sure no one was there before letting Chuntao open the storeroom door.

The Qi family's storeroom was divided into two rooms, an outer room mainly for storing grains, oils, and cloth, and an inner room for storing gold, silver, and valuables.

Lian Rongrong went to the inner room and used her consciousness to store all the dowry into her space. She also took the twenty bolts of silk from the outer room with her.

These things were all prepared for her by her father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law when she got married, and they absolutely cannot be given to the Qi family for free.

[Mother, we've packed all the food; we need to leave the capital as soon as possible.]

The little guy was very anxious when he saw that Lian Rongrong was ignoring the grain in the storeroom.

"food?"

"Yes, Mother, there's no time to explain. Take them with you."

Lian Rongrong nodded. In any case, all the grain was purchased with the original owner's dowry, so it was perfectly reasonable to take it with her.

Lian Rongrong used her consciousness to activate her spatial ring and emptied the Qi family's storeroom before taking the child and Chun Tao to the main hall.

Before she even reached the main hall, Lian Rongrong heard a commotion.

"If you don't hand over my sister today, none of you will leave this house alive!"

The speaker was Lian Rong's sister-in-law, Lin Chuyue. Lin Chuyue was also from a military family and had met Lian Yijun, the eldest brother of the Lian family, on the battlefield. She was the only female general in the Dasheng Kingdom.

Lin Chuyue's fiery temper was well-known throughout the capital, so both Qi Liushi and Qi Wangsheng were somewhat intimidated when facing this female general.

"If outsiders saw General Lin acting so aggressively, they would think that the Lian family was in control of the military and had always been arrogant and domineering."

Meng Yuyan's current status was not legitimate, so she initially hid outside the hall and did not go inside.

Seeing that Qi Wangsheng and his mother were forced into silence, they had no choice but to show themselves.

"Who are you?" Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at Meng Yuyan with disgust.

"I am a cousin of the Qi family. I heard that my cousin's wife gave birth today, so I went to visit her. I never expected to hear my cousin say that he and my cousin's wife have never shared a room."

General Lin, we've never consummated our marriage, so where did the child come from?

Meng Yuyan looked at Lin Chuyue provocatively. Lin Chuyue and Lian's mother, who was sitting in the main seat, were both stunned. Then they both said angrily, "Impossible! Rongrong is definitely not that kind of person."

"If not, why did my cousin's wife suddenly disappear?"

"Of course, it's to escape your pursuit!" As soon as Meng Yuyan finished speaking, Lian Rongrong carried the child into the main hall.

As soon as Lian Rongrong entered, Lian's mother and Lin Chuyue immediately went to greet her.

"Rongrong, what did you just say? They wanted to kill you?" Lin Chuyue glared angrily at the Qi family members, her body instinctively protecting Lian Rongrong and her son.

A warm feeling welled up in Lian Rongrong's heart, perhaps influenced by the original owner's emotions, or perhaps because the original Lian Rongrong had lost her family at a young age.

In short, when she saw Lian's mother and Lin Chuyue protecting her without hesitation, she felt a lump in her throat and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Rongrong, your mother is here. No matter who it is, if they want to lay a finger on you, they'll have to ask Lian Jiaqiang first!"

"Mother, please hold the baby first." Lian Rongrong handed the baby in her arms to her mother, and then walked to Qi Wangsheng.

Before Qi Wangsheng could react, Lian Rongrong slapped him across the face. Qi Wangsheng staggered from the blow, then stood frozen in place, his face filled with disbelief.
