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

Lian Jinghuai tenderly supported his daughter. He wasn't angry at all about Lian Rongrong's overstepping of boundaries.

On the contrary, Lian Jinghuai only felt heartache for his daughter!

Lian Rongrong's affairs with the Qi family had already been explained in detail to Lian Jinghuai by Lian's mother.

As a father, Lian Jinghuai was already deeply pained that he couldn't stand up for his daughter. How could he bear to let his daughter suffer any more grievances now?

"Third daughter, you are in charge of all the affairs of the Qi family!"

With her father's permission, Lian Rongrong had no more worries.

She looked at Lian Xiuyan and her daughter again, her expression showing no intention of backing down.

"Aunt, cousin, you've both heard it. Father has given me permission to handle the Qi family's affairs myself!"

"Then you can't kick your cousin out!" Lian Xiuyan shielded Wang Yue behind her, afraid that Lian Rongrong would kick Wang Yue out the next second.

Lian Rongrong smiled slightly, then gave Wang Yue a very provocative look, and continued:

"I never said I wanted to kick my cousin out! The people I want to kick out are the Qi family."

Qi Wangsheng is a bastard, worse than an animal. Why should I take him with me?

As for my cousin, she herself just said that she and Qi Wangsheng had secretly pledged their lives to each other!

My cousin is still waiting for Qi Wangsheng to win her an imperial title, isn't she?

I think that since that's the case, my cousin must already consider me a member of the Qi family.

If I were truly being unreasonable and breaking up a loving couple, wouldn't that be utterly unreasonable?

Lian Rongrong spoke in a high-sounding manner, but it made Lian Xiuyan furious.

"You're deliberately making things difficult for me!"

Even Xiuyan was so angry that she couldn't speak properly, but Lian Rongrong remained calm and composed.

"How about this, Aunt, please don't say I can't tolerate my cousin. If my cousin is willing, she can stay here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue's face lit up with joy, but Lian Rongrong pointed her index finger at Qi Wangsheng, who was wrapped in the quilt, and said:

"But in that case, he would be guilty of rape! According to the laws of Dasheng, he should be castrated and flogged fifty times!"

Lian Rongrong reached out to her second brother, and Lian Yicheng handed the long sword to his sister.

Watching Lian Rongrong approach him step by step, sword in hand, Qi Wangsheng cried out in despair:

"You bitch, are you crazy?"

Lian Rongrong remained unmoved, and with a flick of her longsword, the tip of the sword was aimed directly at Qi Wangsheng's vital point.

"Yue'er, save me!" Qi Wangsheng shouted to Wang Yue, with nowhere else to retreat.

Wang Yue immediately spread her arms to block Qi Wangsheng.

Although Wang Yue was unwilling to leave the Lian family, she had no choice but to save Qi Wangsheng at this moment.

Firstly, Wang Yue still hoped that Qi Wangsheng's vague promises could come true.

Secondly, if Qi Wangsheng is indeed found guilty of adultery by Lian Rongrong, then Wang Yue's innocence will be ruined.

"Hey, what are you doing, cousin? Are you protecting a wicked and evil person?"

Lian Rongrong deliberately provoked Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was so angry she felt like her molars were about to shatter, but all she could do was announce to everyone:

"Wang Sheng did not rape me; we are mutually in love! Today, let us be husband and wife, with heaven and earth as our witness!"

Even Rongrong couldn't help but applaud Wang Yue's foolishness and ridiculousness.

Lian Rongrong tossed the longsword to Lian Yicheng, then clapped her hands and said:

"This affection is truly touching! But since my cousin has already admitted to her relationship with Qi Wangsheng, then I'm sorry."

"A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog; my cousin can now leave with Qi Wangsheng!"

"Lian Rongrong, are you really so heartless as to drive us away?" Wang Yue asked angrily.

Lian Rongrong remained unmoved. She pointed at Qi Wangsheng and said in a completely flat tone:

"He wasn't as ruthless as that bastard was when he wanted to kill me!"

"Bah! It's all because you had an affair with your lover and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Otherwise, why would Wang Sheng want to kill you!"

You reap what you sow. In my opinion, if you have even a shred of shame, you should take that bastard child and die to atone for your sins!

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, Lian Rongrong's slap landed squarely on her face.

"You hit me again?" Wang Yue covered her face and roared angrily.

"You shameless wretch, what can I do?! Wang Yue, let me tell you, my Fu Bao isn't a bastard. If you dare say another word, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Lian Rongrong's sudden serious expression frightened Wang Yue so much that she dared not continue shouting.

But Wang Yue was still unwilling to give up. She looked at her mother, Lian Xiuyan, and realized that her mother had long lost her voice in the Lian family.

Now, the only people who can influence Lian Rongrong's decisions are her uncle and maternal grandmother.

Wang Yue knelt down with a thud and pleaded with Lian Jinghuai beside her:

"Uncle, you've always doted on Yue'er the most since she was little. Please, don't send Wangsheng and me away, okay? We'll die."

Lian Jinghuai glanced at Wang Yue, but in the end he could only sigh and complain:

"Moon, how did your uncle teach you since you were little? How could you be so foolish?"

"Leaving aside the fact that Qi Wangsheng wronged Rong'er in the past, even if it weren't him, you should still remember propriety and shame!"

Seeing that Lian Jinghuai didn't speak up for her, Wang Yue immediately stood up angrily. She pushed through the crowd and ran towards her grandmother's carriage.

Not long after, Wang Yue returned with her shoulders drooping.

Her maternal grandmother refused to see her, and Wang Yue's last hope was shattered.

Wang Yue approached Qi Wangsheng, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly pointed at the crowd and shouted as if she had gone mad:

"You're all bastards! Why? Why do you protect Lian Rong and her bastard child like they're precious treasures?"

All I have is mutual affection with Wang Sheng, yet you insist on driving us to our deaths!

Lian Jinghuai, my father died because of you! And now you're trying to force his daughter to her death!

Wang Yue's words pierced Lian Jinghuai's heart like a poisoned needle.

Seeing her father's somber expression, Lian Rongrong felt a pang of pity. Before he could speak, she stepped forward and said to Wang Yue:

"Stop using my uncle's death to morally blackmail my father!"

Do you really not know how your father has treated you all these years?

If you weren't so stupid and vicious, you wouldn't be in this situation today.

If my uncle, such a good person, were still alive, he would only be ashamed of you!

However, out of respect for my deceased uncle, I will be merciful one more time.

You may take your carriage and its contents with you.

But you are not allowed to take a single penny of the rest! Chen Si, keep an eye on them!

Lian Rongrong was indeed very kind to allow Wang Yue and Qi Wangsheng to take a carriage and supplies.

After all, when the supplies were initially distributed, each vehicle was equipped with enough clothing and food.

But right now, Wang Yue's carriage doesn't have that many things left.

To show Qi Wangsheng how generous she was to her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Wang Yue made him do a lot of things to do last night.

If Wang Yue had known this day would come, she certainly wouldn't have been so generous.

But there's no going back in life. Since things have already come to this point, Wang Yue has no choice but to grit her teeth and keep moving forward.

Fortunately, the things in the car were enough for her and Qi Wangsheng to last for a while. At worst, they could still find Qi Liushi and Qi Rou.

All the supplies combined should be enough to last them for a month or two.

Wang Yue ultimately chose to leave with Qi Wangsheng, carrying with her illusions of being a noblewoman and her deep hatred for Lian Rongrong.
