Confiscating property? A stunningly beautiful substitute bride empties the national treasury and is

Song Qingqian's hands were held tightly by Song Qianchou, and she couldn't break free or escape.

Song Qianchou laughed arrogantly, staring at Song Qingqian with a ferocious expression, like a demon crawling out of hell, wanting to drag her down to hell.

"Song Qingqian, Lanlan was violated by that beast Sun Wuyin, it's all your fault, you deserve to die, you deserve to die... Haha..."

"Song Qianchou, you keep saying that she is your most beloved daughter, that you gave her your whole heart, but little did you know that she is not your child at all. You raised someone else's daughter, and in the end, you even lost your life for her. You are the most foolish person I have ever seen!"

After saying that, Song Qingqian kicked Song Qianchou in the lower abdomen. Seeing that he still wouldn't let go, she immediately flipped over and turned their positions around. This way, even if they fell to the ground, she could at least cushion the impact and not die.

"You're talking nonsense! I don't believe your attempts to sow discord!"

"Believe it or not, with your disgusting and perverted relationship, whether you're biologically related or not is no longer important."

Song Qingqian continued sarcastically, "Sun Wuyin is the first, and there will be countless others in the future. Even if you die, you can't change her fate."

"Young lady of the Lu family!"

"Song...Song Qianchou?"

Some people saw the stairs break and some people fall down. In an instant, a crowd gathered and shouted in panic.

"Qingqian!"

Lu Jingchuan felt his heart stop beating instantly, and without thinking, he rushed down and jumped after him.

When Song Qingqian heard someone call Lu Jingchuan, she turned around and saw him jump down without hesitation. How could this be? Wasn't he afraid of dying?

She soon realized how naive she had been; that was a war god general, how could he have jumped if he didn't have some ability?

Lu Jingchuan used his lightness skill to instantly grab Song Qingqian's waist with one hand and hold her tightly in his arms. With the other hand, he took out a dagger and cut off Song Qianchou's wrist. He then kicked Song Qianchou hard to the ground and landed on an open space not far away with Song Qingqian.

"My wife, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Lu Jingchuan was anxious to check. Just now, he suddenly felt his heart go empty. A sense of powerless panic swept over his whole body. He was afraid of losing her. He couldn't lose her!

Song Qingqian stared blankly, saying nothing, her gaze passing over Lu Jingchuan and landing directly on Song Qianchou, who was barely clinging to life.

"Old man..."

"father…"

The Song family members rushed downstairs and surrounded Song Qianchou, weeping bitterly…

"Lan...Is Lanlan my biological daughter?"

Song Qianchou raised his only hand and gripped Old Madam Song's arm tightly, pressing her for answers.

"Sir, you...you mustn't believe the nonsense other people are spouting..."

When pressed for answers, Madam Song's eyes darted away. The secret she had kept for over a decade could not possibly be known to anyone, especially since she had personally killed that person.

"you…"

Song Qianchou coughed up a mouthful of blood and died instantly.

"master…"

The Song family was devastated and wept bitterly. When they saw soldiers approaching, they cried even harder.

"My wife, don't be sad. He deserved to die!"

Lu Jingchuan covered Song Qingqian's eyes with his large hands, bent down and picked her up in his arms, then walked towards the stairs.

At this moment, Song Qingqian did not struggle. She nestled quietly in Lu Jingchuan's arms like a cat, her head pressed against Lu Jingchuan's chest.

Listening to his strong heartbeats, Song Qingqian suddenly felt unusually at ease.

She was safe and sound, and she should be happy, but for some reason, her heart ached terribly. Perhaps the fluctuations just now had triggered the original senses of this body.

Over the past decade or so, the original owner of this body repeatedly held onto hope for this so-called biological father, only to have it shattered time and time again; every single moment was filled with pain…

Now that Song Qianchou is dead, everything has vanished along with him.

"Third sister-in-law..."

"Third son's wife..."

The entire Lu family rushed forward, trembling with fear. The matriarch wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, tightly grasped Song Qingqian's hand, and nervously muttered:

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest."

"Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. That old bastard Song Qianchou is too inhuman. How could he be so heartless?"

"Third Sister-in-law, you scared us to death!"

Lu Xieyue's eyes were red and swollen, but she was still shaken; it had been too dangerous.

"I'm fine, I made everyone worried!"

Song Qingqian forced a reassuring smile at everyone. Once again, she truly felt how wonderful it was to have family who cared about her.

"It's good that you're alright. If you ask me, we should stay far away from them in the future. Who knows what bad things they might be up to!"

Mrs. Bai sighed, holding her daughter, and then added, "..."

"This is all thanks to the third brother. His leg is much better now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Song Qingqian nodded in agreement.

"Miss Lu, are you alright? Oh dear, you scared us to death just now!"

A group of people, led by Wang, knocked on the door and came in, asking questions with concern.

"It's alright, thank you everyone for coming to see me."

Song Qingqian smiled gently and looked at everyone with gratitude.

"That old man from the Song family is really despicable. If you ask me, young lady from the Lu family, you shouldn't have let the Song family off the hook. It must have been them who instigated it."

"They must have seen that Song Qianchou was covered in ailments after rolling down the stairs, and that he would only be a burden if he continued to fall, so they came up with this scheme. They are so vicious."

"Young lady of the Lu family, you can't just swallow this injustice silently. The Song family demands an explanation..."

Everyone was talking at once, saying all sorts of things.

Song Qingqian nodded to each person. They were all strangers who had met by chance, and their relationship was based on the connection they had built over this period of time. She was already very grateful to have so many people who genuinely cared about her.

Lu Yunqi was squeezed into a corner near the door by a room full of people. He kept his head down and didn't say a word.

For a moment just now, he truly hated himself for being a member of the Lu family, unable to help at all in a crucial moment.

Song Qingqian saved his life twice when he was in danger, but when she, Song Qingqian, faced a life-threatening situation, he could only watch helplessly. He was truly terrible…

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, everyone left Song Qingqian's room.

After giving a few final words of advice, the old matriarch led the Lu family members back to their rooms.

The noisy room fell silent in a moment, and the two were somewhat speechless.

Lu Jingchuan lifted his foot and sat down beside Song Qingqian, his fingers interlaced on his knees, his brows furrowed, a thousand words in his heart, yet he couldn't find the words to say.

Song Qingqian wasn't injured to begin with, but as Lu Jingchuan approached, she felt increasingly uneasy.

After a moment of silence, Song Qingqian spoke first: "Thank you for saving me just now. Don't worry, out of gratitude, I will definitely help you get rid of the Gu worms on your body."

Lu Jingchuan turned to look at her and gave a wry smile: "Wife, we are husband and wife. It is only right and proper for me to save you. Why do you have to put a bargaining chip on this relationship?"
