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

"Moon, I'm so cold, can I hug you?"

Qi Wangsheng, taking advantage of the situation, lifted Wang Yue's blanket and, before Wang Yue could react, had already crawled inside.

Suddenly being so close to a man, Wang Yue felt her mind in turmoil.

She shifted slightly, placed her hands on Qi Wangsheng's chest, and said, half-heartedly:

"You're really too bold. I'm a cousin of the Lian family. What would happen if people found out that I slept in the same bed with you?"

Although Wang Yue verbally refused, she didn't shout, which gave Qi Wangsheng more confidence.

Qi Wangsheng suddenly wrapped his arms around Wang Yue's waist and pulled her into his arms.

"My dear Yue'er, just let me hold you for a little while, I promise I won't do anything."

Do you know that I fell deeply in love with you the moment I first saw you?

However, at that time, my family was of little influence, and I dared not disobey the Lian family's pressure to marry me.

Qi Wangsheng shamelessly portrayed his painstaking efforts to marry Lian Rong as a forced marriage by the Lian family, while Wang Yue, who knew the truth, found the story incredibly pleasing to the ear.

A man and a woman, one incredibly stupid and the other incredibly wicked, could be considered a match made in heaven.

"Moon, I know you have feelings for me, and so do I! For your sake, I have never touched that slut since we got married!"

As Qi Wangsheng finished speaking, Wang Yue suddenly asked excitedly, "You really didn't touch that bitch?"

"It's absolutely true, I swear!" Qi Wangsheng raised his right hand, his expression solemn.

"So, Fu Bao really was conceived through an affair between that slut?" Wang Yue asked smugly.

Qi Wangsheng pressed his advantage, replying, "Otherwise, how could I dare to risk offending the Lian family by divorcing her and sending her home?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue finally came to her senses somewhat. She gently pushed Qi Wangsheng away and said sarcastically:

"Isn't it because of that lowly princess?"

"Princess? You mean Meng Yuyan? What kind of princess is she?"

Qi Wangsheng exerted force again, and Wang Yue's body pressed tightly against his.

Seeing a blush rise on Wang Yue's face, Qi Wangsheng felt even more smug.

"Moon, do you know why Meng Yuyan was able to successfully scheme against me?" Qi Wangsheng looked at Wang Yue with deep affection, and then continued:

"Simply because her features resemble yours! Moon, do you know that your constant longing for me is like having your bones and flesh torn apart!"

Wang Yue's already limited intelligence was completely destroyed by Qi Wangsheng's repeated deceptions.

So much so that when Qi Wangsheng kissed her, she only struggled a little, half-heartedly.

Qi Wangsheng's kiss deepened, and Wang Yue felt unbearably hot all over. But when Qi Wangsheng's hands started to wander, Wang Yue's reason, which had been fading away, finally returned.

Wang Yue grabbed Qi Wangsheng's hand that was reaching for her skirt. "Wangsheng, you can't!"

Things have come to this point, how could Qi Wangsheng possibly give up now?

Ignoring Wang Yue's struggles, he ripped open her skirt sash and whispered in her ear:

"Moon, please, don't refuse me!"

I promise that when I return to Beijing, you will be my only wife.

I will petition for your investiture, making you the most honored woman in the capital!

As they spoke, Qi Wangsheng had already torn off Wang Yue's outer garment, and Wang Yue gradually succumbed to Qi Wangsheng's sweet words and empty promises.

Inside the tent, figures moved about, but everyone was asleep except for Qi Liushi and Meng Yuyan, who were still awake by the fire.

Lady Qi Liu's eyes were filled with joy, and she was very proud of her son, while Meng Yuyan bit her lip until it bled, her heart filled with hatred!

After his final burst of strength, Qi Wangsheng collapsed wearily onto Wang Yue. Both of them were covered in sweat and had long since lost their chill.

Wang Yue blushed and gently stroked Qi Wangsheng's cheek.

"I've given you everything now, so you mustn't betray me one day!"

Qi Wangsheng gently kissed Wang Yue's forehead and solemnly promised:

"Moon, don't worry, I will give you the best of everything in this world."

And that vile woman, Lian Rong! I know you despise her, but when we return to the capital, I will make her kneel before you and beg for forgiveness!

Wang Yue leaned against Qi Wangsheng's chest, and the image of herself looking down on and humiliating Lian Rongrong, who was kneeling on the ground, involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Just as Wang Yue was lost in her own thoughts, Qi Wangsheng suddenly sighed, then said in a somewhat troubled low voice:

"But Yue'er, we still have a problem to solve right now."

That little bitch refused to take me with her. What if I really do die on the road…

Qi Wangsheng glanced at Wang Yue tentatively, then continued, "What are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue immediately stopped smiling. After her initial impulse, Qi Wangsheng's words led her to rethink the matter she had just witnessed.

"Qi Wangsheng, you wouldn't have gotten involved with me just to curry favor with the Lian family..."

Wang Yue couldn't continue speaking. Although she had done it, she still felt ashamed to talk about it.

"What are you thinking? Don't you know who I, Qi Wangsheng, am?"

I just love you, I can't help it! All my promises to you are true!

You should know that I am now a fourth-rank official, and my elder brother is a second-rank general.

Compared to the Lian family, my Qi family is in no way inferior! We are only fleeing from disaster now, but that is only temporary.

There's something else you might not know: if it weren't for this great disaster, the Lian family would probably have been uprooted long ago.

I knew all this, yet I still went through with it with you. What else could it be but love?

Qi Wangsheng launched into a tirade, but Wang Yue only heard that the Lian family was going to be uprooted.

For Wang Yue, the Lian family was her pillar of support. If that pillar fell, Wang Yue, as a cousin, would be nothing.

But then she thought about it again. Now that she had gotten close to Qi Wangsheng, no matter whether the Lian family matter was true or false, she was destined to become a noblewoman.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue immediately decided that she would help Qi Wangsheng no matter what.

"I can help you, but that bitch Lian Rong is very arrogant now."

I suspect that even if I pleaded on your behalf, she wouldn't keep you in the group. The convoy will definitely need to continue its journey once it gets light.

At that time, you can pretend to leave for the time being. I will feign illness at the first gentle slope ahead to slow down the convoy's progress.

Follow me quietly and hide in my car. If we cooperate in secret, we can definitely evade everyone's eyes.

However, there's one thing: I can only bring you along. If there are too many people, we'll definitely be exposed!

Wang Yue glanced sideways at the outside of the carriage, but she could only vaguely make out the figures around the fire.

Wang Yue knew that Meng Yuyan was there too. She wanted to see if Qi Wangsheng was really willing to abandon that illegitimate princess in the wilderness.

I thought Qi Wangsheng would hesitate for at least a moment, but he agreed without even thinking about it.

Wang Yue was very satisfied with Qi Wangsheng's performance. Not only that, Wang Yue also considered the issues of Qi Liushi and Qi Rou for Qi Wangsheng.

"It's one thing to deal with other people, but I still have to take care of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

It's not realistic to bring them along, but you can leave the clothes and food I have here for them.

But let's make this clear first: that person surnamed Meng cannot take even a single one of these things!
