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

Although Lian Rongrong knew that Qi Yuan was angry with her, she still couldn't bring herself to look at him.

But that night, Lian Rongrong still tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her mind filled with Qi Yuan's disappointed and annoyed face.

The same was true for Qi Yuan in the other carriage.

Lian Rongrong's words, "It doesn't matter, we'll separate sooner or later anyway," echoed in Qi Yuan's ears again and again.

Qi Yuan tossed and turned in the carriage until the sky began to lighten, at which point he gradually became sleepy.

Of course, besides Lian Rongrong and Qi Yuan, there were others who couldn't sleep that night.

However, their problem wasn't because of something on their mind, but because of the cold winter!

In Qi Wangsheng's mind, although the Lian family were military families, they were extremely kind and generous to others.

Even if he were an ordinary person, let alone someone who was once the Lian family's son-in-law, the Lian family would never have ignored him.

Therefore, Qi Wangsheng felt that as long as he pretended to be sincere enough and repented earnestly, he would definitely be able to gain the Lian family's forgiveness.

But this time, things didn't seem as simple as Qi Wangsheng had imagined.

All night long, while the family stayed in the warm carriage, they could only sit around the fire outside.

The only act of kindness the family showed was not driving them away from the fire.

Besides that, there was only a quilt that Wang Yue had secretly brought over.

Wang Yue's performance rekindled Qi Wangsheng's hope, who had almost given up.

Looking at the blanket covering him, Qi Wangsheng smiled. How could he have forgotten that the Lian family also had a Wang Yue?

You should know that this woman had given him hints more than once, especially in the days leading up to his marriage to Lian Rong.

If he hadn't left home to go to war on his wedding day, Wang Yue would probably have become Qi Wangsheng's woman long ago.

Since Lian Rong was completely unyielding, Qi Wangsheng decided to set his sights on Wang Yue.

But Qi Wangsheng knew that he didn't have much time left! Once it was broad daylight, the Lian family would definitely be on their way to leave.

By then, it would be virtually impossible for human beings to catch up with horses.

Therefore, if Qi Wangsheng wants to succeed, he has no choice but to seize this last opportunity!

"Wangsheng, where are you going?" In a daze, Qi Liushi saw her son tiptoe to his feet.

Qi Wangsheng turned around and glared at Qi Liushi, then gestured for her to be quiet.

"Wang Sheng, you can't abandon us!"

Qi Liu looked at Qi Wangsheng with some fear. All along the way, Qi Liu had known that her son disliked them as a burden.

If it weren't for the worry of not being able to explain things to Qi Wangde when they returned to Beijing, her youngest son would probably have abandoned them on the road long ago.

It was only right that this heartless scoundrel got his comeuppance. Qi Wangde had just been sent out for disaster relief when a major riot broke out in the capital.

Starving refugees rushed into the homes of wealthy families in the capital like madmen, instantly looting everything in sight.

The Qi family was not spared either. In this great winter disaster, apart from a few military families with guards, all officials and wealthy merchants suffered losses to varying degrees.

The Qi family was supposed to have a guard, but at this critical juncture, Qi Wangde led his guard to provide disaster relief!

The way of heaven is reincarnation, who has heaven spared?

But the Qi family didn't see it that way; they blamed everything on their bad luck.

Initially, Qi Liu still held a glimmer of hope, thinking that temporarily leaving the capital was just a temporary expedient.

However, after leaving the capital, Lady Qi Liu discovered that fleeing the famine was not what she had imagined at all.

When people are chasing after fate, they have no choice.

During the ten-odd days away from the capital, Lady Qi Liu suffered from hunger and cold, and was often ravenously hungry.

But she dared not complain to her son, because from Qi Wangsheng's attitude, Qi Liushi had already realized the crisis.

But this bellyful of anger had to be vented, so among the group, Meng Yuyan became the punching bag and the unlucky one!

The more polite the Qi family was to Meng Yuyan before, the more harsh they became during their escape from famine.

Even so, Lady Qi Liu was still uneasy every day, fearing that one day when she opened her eyes, her son would have abandoned her.

Qi Liu grabbed Qi Wangsheng's sleeve, her eyes filled with fear.

Qi Wangsheng ignored his mother's worry and fear. He forcefully shook off Qi Liu's hand and said in a low voice:

"Stop acting crazy! I'm not abandoning you, I'm trying to find a way to make sure the Lian family can't abandon us!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Liu finally calmed down, but at the same time she was very worried, after all, she had seen the Lian family's attitude before.

"Son, I think that little bitch Lian Rong is determined. Do you have a way to make her change her mind?"

Qi Liu's eyes flashed with the scheming and malice of the past once again.

Qi Wangsheng's gaze fell on the carriage where Wang Yue was. "Is Lian Rong the only slut in the Lian family?"

After saying that, Qi Wangsheng tiptoed toward Wang Yue's carriage, and Qi Liushi, who was left behind, immediately understood.

When Qi Wangsheng entered Wang Yue's carriage, Wang Yue was still fast asleep, wrapped in a quilt.

The carriage was so warm that the sudden change in temperature made Qi Wangsheng shiver.

It was still dark, and the only thing visible inside the car was the faint outline of the moonlight.

Qi Wangsheng quietly approached Wang Yue's side. To prevent Wang Yue from suddenly being startled and screaming, Qi Wangsheng reached out and covered her mouth as soon as he got close to her body.

This sudden turn of events really frightened Wang Yue.

Wang Yue suddenly opened her eyes wide and instinctively wanted to call for help, but found that her body and mouth were being held down tightly.

Aside from making fearful "whimpering" sounds, Wang Yue could do almost nothing.

"Shh! Yue'er, it's me!" Qi Wangsheng whispered as gently as possible in Wang Yue's ear.

Upon recognizing Qi Wangsheng's voice, Wang Yue did indeed temporarily stop struggling.

"I won't hurt you. I'm just afraid of scaring you. If you suddenly shout, it will attract the attention of that bitch Lian Rong."

"I'll let go, don't shout, okay?" Qi Wangsheng said to Wang Yue in a coaxing tone.

Wang Yue opened her eyes and looked at Qi Wangsheng, then nodded vigorously as a sign of assurance.

Qi Wangsheng released his hand, but did not completely pull it back. He had to ensure that he could quickly control Wang Yue if she disobeyed.

However, Qi Wangsheng was overthinking it, because Wang Yue really had no intention of shouting.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Wang Yue asked Qi Wangsheng in a low voice.

"Moon, I'm so cold. Can I stay here with you for a little while, just a little while!"

Qi Wangsheng may be a scoundrel, but he is a handsome one.

Wang Yue seduced Qi Wangsheng partly out of jealousy of Lian Rong, and partly because of Qi Wangsheng's face.

Wang Yue felt incredibly pleased to be begged by Qi Wangsheng like this.

"Now you know that Lian Rong is a slut, and I am the kindest one, right?"

Wang Yue looked smug, completely unaware that she had already become someone else's prey.
