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

"You...you all wait!"

Lu Haofeng was trembling uncontrollably, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot, and tears streaming down his face.

He stared fiercely at Song Qingqian's back, his heart filled with hatred; the people of the third branch of the family deserved to die.

Lu Jingchuan glanced at Lu Haofeng with a cold look, but when he saw Song Qingqian approaching, he immediately put on a caring smile.

"They've ruined my good mood. Qianqian, let's go!"

He had really intended to act as Song Qingqian's henchman to vent everyone's anger, but Song Qingqian wouldn't let him wipe his hands, so he could only wait quietly. Unexpectedly, she sent his second brother instead.

Song Qingqian let out a long sigh of relief and whispered, "This matter has wronged Yu'er and Xuanyuan Xue."

"Yu'er is alright, she'll probably forget about it after playing around for a while, but Xuan Yuanxue will definitely be traumatized. These people are really filthy, and the way they look at people is even more filthy. We need to find an opportunity to teach them a good lesson."

“Our family has mostly women. Lan Yue and Xie Yue will be of marriageable age in less than two years. We’re not afraid of thieves stealing from us, but we’re afraid of thieves eyeing us. We have to be careful in everything we do.”

"Qianqian is right. This is something we really need to take seriously. Don't worry, with your third brother here, I will definitely protect their safety."

As Lu Jingchuan spoke, he looked at Song Qingqian. In fact, compared to the others, he was most worried about her.

Song Qingqian nodded and said meaningfully, "I don't disbelieve you. Actually, you and Lu Yunqi are both conscientious brothers. Although Lu Yunqi was unreliable at first, his kindness to the two sisters is impeccable."

Inside the carriage, Xuan Yuanxue had changed into a dry dress, her hair loose on her back, and she was wiping it with a towel.

Her eyes were a little red, but she didn't let a single tear fall. She didn't want to cause trouble for the Lu family, and she didn't want everyone to think of her as a crybaby.

While wiping her down, Lu Xieyue comforted her, saying, "Sister Xue, the third sister-in-law of the Xu family who pushed you stabbed her, and Lu Haofeng, who tried to take advantage of you, was reportedly beaten up and crippled by the second brother. They all helped you get revenge, so don't be sad!"

Xuan Yuanxue smiled faintly and said, "Xieyue, I'm not sad. I just feel a little uncomfortable because I was kicked in the stomach and then got splashed with cold water. It's really nothing."

"Then let Third Sister-in-law take a look at you in a bit; she's a skilled doctor!"

Xuan Yuanxue nodded. She suddenly realized that she hadn't had a relapse after falling into the water, which was somewhat unbelievable, as she used to have relapses whenever something happened to her…

Lu Xieyue glanced at the tight fabric of her dress, hesitated for a long time before pointing to her chest and asking awkwardly in a low voice:

"Sister Xue, why don't you bind your chest? Women should bind their chests, otherwise they will be looked down upon by others."

"Why would you look down on us? Women in our area never bind their breasts!"

Xuan Yuanxue opened her mouth wide in surprise. She looked down at herself and realized that her breasts did look bigger than others'. Was that why those people wanted to bully her?

After she finished speaking, Lu Xieyue was even more shocked. How could this be? In the Northern Xia Kingdom, apart from those kept in brothels in various places, girls from respectable families were all educated by their tutors from a young age.

She doesn't look like a woman from that kind of place. Could she not be from Northern Xia?

Just as Lu Xieyue was about to ask her a question, she saw Song Qingqian come in, and she quickly shut her mouth.

"Third Sister-in-law, Sister Xue said her stomach is upset. Could you please take a look? I'll head out now!"

"it is good!"

Song Qingqian nodded and closed all the carriage curtains again, leaving no gaps.

Did you see any bruises when you changed clothes?

"Sister Qian, it's a little bit but not too serious. I think I'm about to get my period and I caught a chill. It's really nothing!"

Xuan Yuanxue quickly explained, and then she took off her outer robe and put it aside for Song Qingqian to check.

Song Qingqian glanced at her, took her pulse, and whispered, "Drink more hot water. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Just take it and you'll be fine."

"Yes, thank you, Sister Qian."

Seeing Song Qingqian go to find the medicine box, Xuan Yuanxue asked in a low voice, "Sister Qian, have I caused you any trouble? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"

"Fool, it wasn't your fault, why are you apologizing!"

Song Qingqian handed her a black pill, which Xuan Yuanxue swallowed directly with spring water. She didn't care what kind of medicine it was; she only knew that Song Qingqian wouldn't harm her.

"You were terrified just now, weren't you?"

Xuan Yuanxue nodded, sniffed, and was indeed terrified, especially when the man reached out to touch her body…

"Xue'er, you must remember, in this group of exiles, never trust anyone, especially men. No matter how eloquently they speak, not a word of it is true; they all have ulterior motives."

Song Qingqian calmly advised, "Protecting yourself is more important than anything else. Don't easily open your heart to others; people here are the ugliest."

Xuan Yuanxue nodded seriously: "Sister Qian, I'll remember!"

Song Qingqian stroked her hair, which was mostly dry, then tied it up and comforted her with a smile:

"Don't overthink it. Just stay here and wait for your older brother to come find you. As long as I'm here, I won't let these people bully you."

"Thank you, Sister Qian!"

Xuan Yuanxue reached out and grabbed Song Qingqian's dress, speaking softly:

"Sister Qian, could you help me bind my chest? I'm not very good at it, and I don't want to be seen as an oddball and cause you unnecessary trouble."

"Row!"

Song Qingqian went to the back of the package and took out a brand new ribbon. It seems that Lu Yunqi bought quite a lot of things and was very thoughtful.

Xuan Yuanxue blushed instantly after taking off her inner garment. While Song Qingqian helped her, she tried to distract her by speaking:

"Actually, you don't need to mind it. Every country has its own customs. It's good to follow local customs when you're in a country, but there's no need to treat it as a burden."

"It's normal to feel uncomfortable at first, you'll get used to it. Sometimes, deliberately hiding your abilities in the exile group is a way to protect yourself."

Xuan Yuanxue smiled broadly: "Sister Qian, I understand. I just overlooked it and didn't notice it before."

"It's okay, it looks good just like this."

Song Qingqian smiled and handed her the outer robe: "Put it on and go out. The fish should be ready by now!"

Seeing them chatting and laughing, the members of the Lu family were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode. At least with Hu Guo there, there was someone to apply medicine and bandage them.

Hu Guo glanced at Lu Haofeng's injury and shook his head. After a moment, he waved his hand and said:

"Stop trying to fix it, it's beyond cure. Let's see if we can continue using it now. If it becomes necrotic, we'll have to surgically remove it."

Upon hearing this, Madam Qian immediately wailed, "My son, my poor son!"

"Lu Yunqi, you heartless bastard! It's one thing for you to be incompetent, but you've also completely ruined my son. Could it be that you're just seeking revenge for that little slut Yu Ke'er?"

"There are plenty of men who have slept with that little slut, why don't you go and take revenge on them all? Instead, you've caught my son and tortured him, you'll die a horrible death."

"Lu Yunqi, I curse you to be without a wife and children for the rest of your life..."
