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

Lian Rongrong went to meet Qi Yuan, and after some struggle, Qi Yuan's leg injury tore open again.

"Are you alright?" Lian Rongrong naturally helped Qi Yuan up.

Qi Yuan's face was somewhat pale, but he still managed a smile and comforted Lian Rongrong:

"It's just a wolf, it can't hurt me. What about you? Are you injured?"

Lian Rongrong shook her head, a touch of emotion welling up inside her. She handed the short crossbow to Qi Yuan and continued:

"Thanks to your crossbow, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to handle it. Here, take it back!"

Qi Yuan smiled and shook his head, then pushed the short crossbow back. "Keep it for self-defense."

Lian Rongrong looked at Qi Yuan in surprise, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Lian Rongrong had lived two lives after all, and she wasn't stupid. If she didn't feel anything after Qi Yuan treated her like this, she would truly be a block of wood.

Seeing that Lian Rongrong looked somewhat troubled, Qi Yuan immediately pretended to be relaxed and took out another short crossbow from his sleeve.

"Don't overthink it, it's just because I have two. I'm not stupid, I won't just give away my life-saving items to someone else."

Since Qi Yuan had said so, Lian Rongrong stopped being coy, thanked him, and put the short crossbow into her sleeve.

The two walked a little further before they saw Lian Yijun and the others standing around the people who had been trapped earlier.

However, Lian Yijun and Lian Yicheng did not look too good.

When Lian Rongrong walked up to her two brothers, she hadn't yet noticed who they had saved.

After Lian Yijun and Lian Yicheng reluctantly stepped aside, Lian Rongrong finally saw that the man crouching on the ground, trembling, was Qi Wangsheng.

Lian Rongrong was very familiar with the three women who clung tightly to Qi Wangsheng.

Just over a month ago, Qi Liu and Qi Rou were still bossy and domineering, but now they are clinging to Qi Wangsheng with their heads all messed up like a chicken coop.

Meng Yuyan, standing to the side, was in an even worse state. Her face was pale, her lips were purple, and there were large patches of brown bloodstains on her skirt. But the bloodstains were clearly not from today.

Although these people looked pitiful, Lian Rongrong felt no sympathy for them whatsoever.

After all, just over a month ago, these damned bastards wanted to kill her and Fu Bao.

"Look at what a lousy day this is! I spent so much effort fighting those beasts, only to end up saving a bunch of things that are even worse than beasts!"

Lian Yicheng spat and turned to walk to Lian Rongrong's side.

"Little sister, let's go!"

Lian Yicheng's reaction caught Qi Yuan's attention. When Lian Rongrong turned around, Qi Yuan remained standing still.

"Do you know these people?" Qi Yuan glanced at Lian Rongrong.

A cold smile appeared on Lian Rongrong's lips, and then she replied in an icy tone, "I'd recognize you even if you were ashes!"

Lian Rongrong stopped talking and walked straight ahead with her second brother, Lian Yicheng. Qi Yuan glanced coldly at Qi Wangsheng, who was squatting on the ground, with a very unfriendly expression.

As Qi Wangsheng crouched on the ground trembling, he happened to hear Lian Rongrong's voice. He looked up and saw Lian Rongrong's graceful back as she turned away.

"Rongrong, it really is you!"

Qi Wangsheng shamelessly got up and chased after her, but before he could get close to Lian Rongrong, he was kicked away by Lian Yicheng!

"What kind of filthy thing dares to gravitate towards my little sister? Get out of my way!"

Despite Lian Yicheng's cold words, Qi Wangsheng was not discouraged at all, and he continued to walk towards Lian Rongrong step by step.

"Rongrong, I was confused before, and I was bewitched by this slut."

But you have to believe me, I love you. And I know you still love me, right?

Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked your life to save me! Rongrong, let's start over, okay?

As Qi Wangsheng spoke, he reached out to grab Lian Rongrong's sleeve. This time, before Lian Yicheng could make a move, Qi Yuan kicked Qi Wangsheng in the chest.

"Stay away from her!" Qi Yuan felt as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Especially when he saw Qi Wangsheng approaching Lian Rongrong.

"Who exactly is he?" Qi Yuan looked at Lian Rongrong with annoyance, even forgetting that he had no right or status to question her.

Lian Rongrong seemed completely unaware of this, and actually obediently replied, "He's just my ex-husband, an insignificant person!"

"Ex-husband?" Qi Yuan looked at Lian Rongrong with a surprised expression.

Even Rongrong suddenly realized that her answer was indeed a bit hard for Qi Yuan to understand.

Even after carefully searching her memory, Lian Rongrong couldn't find any reference to Da Sheng's ex-husband.

It's unclear whether this country or dynasty simply didn't have a specific name for it, or if Lian Rong was just unaware of it.

Lian Rongrong thought for a moment, and finally explained to Qi Yuan in simple and clear words:

"So you're saying we were husband and wife, but I divorced him! Is that clear?"

Qi Yuan couldn't quite describe how he felt after hearing Lian Rongrong's explanation.

Upon hearing that the man in front of him had once been Lian Rongrong's husband, Qi Yuan felt an urge to crush him to pieces.

But when Lian Rongrong said, "But I divorced him," Qi Yuan inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction and wanted to laugh.

Having lived for so long, Qi Yuan had never experienced so many emotional changes in such a short period of time.

However, just as Qi Yuan was still processing Lian Rongrong's words, Qi Wangsheng suddenly jumped up again and shouted at Lian Rongrong:

"Oh! So that's why you left so decisively back then. Turns out you hooked up with this pretty boy?"

But Lian Rong, let me tell you, you think you can get rid of me? No way! In Dasheng, there's never been a precedent of a woman writing a letter of divorce to a man!

As long as I don't acknowledge you, Lian Rong, you'll still be on the Qi family's genealogy! You were born a member of the Qi family, and you'll die a ghost of the Qi family!

"You think you can just leave me and have fun with other men? Dream on!"

The subtle feelings between Lian Rongrong and Qi Yuan were magnified infinitely by the perceptive Qi Wangsheng.

But right now, the Lian family is Qi Wangsheng's last lifeline. How could he possibly let Lian Rongrong go so easily?

Qi Wangsheng revealed his true colors, roaring wildly at Lian Rongrong, a scene that instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of Lian Yicheng and Qi Yuan.

The two men raised their feet almost simultaneously, and the double impact landed on Qi Wangsheng. Qi Wangsheng felt a pain in his chest and was then sent flying three meters away.

"damn thing!"

"Son of a bitch!"

The two muttered something at the same time, and then walked to Lian Rongrong's side, one on the left and one on the right.

Watching Lian Rongrong's retreating figure, Qi Wangsheng cried out in despair:

"Lian Rong, without my divorce papers, you can forget about ever remarrying openly and legitimately in this lifetime!"

You and your lover can only have an illicit affair, forever hidden from the light of day!

Upon hearing this, all three stopped in their tracks. Even Rongrong turned her head slightly, a smile on her lips, but her eyes were filled with indifference.

"Who said I need to remarry? Isn't it good enough for me to enjoy my life on my own?"

"You bastard, you think you can threaten me with that?"

Lian Rongrong turned her head and continued forward, ignoring him, but Qi Yuan suddenly changed direction.

Qi Yuan walked up to Qi Wangsheng and squatted down. When he got close to Qi Wangsheng, Qi Wangsheng felt a chill all over his body.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Wangsheng asked tremblingly.

Qi Yuan's lips curled into a wicked smile, then he lowered his voice and whispered in Qi Wangsheng's ear:

"I've heard that in Dasheng, widows can remarry at will! Do you think I'm right?"

Qi Wangsheng froze, and suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat seep down his back.

He glanced timidly at Qi Yuan and cautiously reminded him:

"Let me tell you, I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court, a fourth-rank official! To murder a high-ranking official is..."

"Who said I was going to kill you? Wasn't Lord Qi killed by a pack of wolves while fleeing famine?"
