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

Yu Ke'er saw through Lu Yunqi's thoughts and scoffed, "Brother Yun, this second floor is at least fifteen feet high. Do you dare to jump?"

"You used to only know how to crawl through dog holes, have you grown bolder today? Brother Yun, I still vividly remember the time you were chased by dogs all over the yard."

“Brother Yunqi, as long as you give her up, Ke’er will definitely not let the shopkeeper make things difficult for you. It’s really not worth putting yourself in danger for this little bitch.”

Lu Yunqi's tone softened after hearing this, and he tried to negotiate terms by suggesting:

"Ke'er, release Xuan Yuanxue first and let her safely go to her room on the fourth floor. I'll go with you, and you can do whatever you want with me."

"Let her go? Brother Yun, you're just feeling sorry for this little bitch, aren't you?"

Yu Ke'er gave a self-deprecating laugh, feeling as if she had been hurt to the core: "Brother Yun, what about me? When have you ever cared about me? We've had a friendship for over ten years, how can you not see my good qualities?"

She wiped away her tears and said with a mocking smile, "Fine, I promise you, Brother Yun, you can have her come over, and I'll personally take her back."

"no, do not want…"

Xuan Yuanxue grabbed Lu Yunqi tightly and shook her head frantically: "She's gone mad, she won't let me go. Let's jump, Second Brother Lu, I'm not afraid of heights!"

"Okay, let's jump!"

Seeing several men rushing towards him, Lu Yunqi grabbed Xuan Yuanxue tightly, leaped backward, and jumped out of the window.

When Xuan Yuanxue saw that Lu Yunqi had really jumped, she hurriedly ran over. She saw that Lu Yunqi had shielded Xuan Yuanxue with his body, letting her be his shield.

"What are you all standing there for? If you don't kill them, not only me, but you will all be dead!"

Yu Ke'er scolded anxiously, "If Song Qingqian finds out about this commotion, they will surely be doomed, given her ruthlessness."

"Second Brother Lu, you...you mustn't die! Wake up!"

Xuan Yuanxue was terrified when she saw Lu Yunqi's back covered in blood. If Lu Yunqi died, how could she face the Lu family?

She already owes him so much, more than she can ever repay. If Lu Yunqi were to lose his life because of her, wouldn't she become a sinful person?

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Yunqi opened his eyes and looked at Xuan Yuanxue, who was crying with tears streaming down her face. He gave a bitter smile and said, "I'm not dead yet. What are you crying about?"

"Help me, I'm feeling a little dizzy!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunqi had just sat up when he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood…

"Quickly, everyone be quiet, don't wake others up."

"They're right ahead; they can't escape..."

Lu Yunqi hurriedly looked around. To the left and back of the yard were exiled people, but as he ran over, he bumped into several of his men. They had probably been captured and dragged away before they could be rescued.

But to the right is a dead end, where all sorts of random things are piled up, including hay and other miscellaneous items. It's not impossible to climb over the wall using these things...

Lu Yunqi casually picked up two pebbles and threw them at Lu Jingchuan's room. Seeing no reaction, he smacked them again.

If Lu Jingchuan hears the noise and realizes they've disappeared, their chances of being rescued might be greater.

Moreover, with Da Huang around, they would definitely be discovered no matter where they hid. Now, all he had to do was stall for time and ensure his and Xuan Yuanxue's safety.

The pain in his back kept stimulating his nerves, and Lu Yunqi felt that the effect of the drug had been weakened a lot. At least he was completely clear-headed at the moment.

"go!"

Lu Yunqi wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, dragged Xuan Yuanxue straight to the corner, hurriedly gathered several haystacks and piled them together. Seeing someone coming, he stepped on the haystacks and whispered:

"Quickly step on my shoulder and jump over the wall!"

"okay!"

Xuan Yuanxue was now so panicked that she had completely lost the ability to think. She did whatever Lu Yunqi told her to do.

But as soon as she got on the wall and looked down, she felt instantly dizzy; it was so high…

Seeing her go up, Lu Yunqi took a few steps back, ran over with all his might, stepped on the haystack, jumped up, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and climbed over the wall.

"Jump quickly, I'll catch you!"

Lu Yunqi jumped down first, opened his arms to Xuan Yuanxue, and urged her anxiously.

Xuan Yuanxue closed her eyes and jumped down, instantly landing in Lu Yunqi's firm embrace.

"Quick, find somewhere to hide!"

Behind the post station was a desolate forest overgrown with weeds. Xuan Yuanxue had only run a few steps when she felt her dress being torn by sharp thorns, and her legs were aching.

Turning around, she saw several men leaping over the wall. Without caring about anything else, she let Lu Yunqi hold her hand tightly and hurriedly fled.

It was pitch black all around, with only the bright moonlight shining down to illuminate the path ahead...

The two ran for an unknown amount of time when suddenly Lu Yunqi lost his footing and fell down with Xuan Yuanxue.

Just as Xuan Yuanxue was about to scream in fright, Lu Yunqi quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh! Hush!"

Lu Yunqi whispered in her ear that his leg seemed to be injured after the fall, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't move.

After a moment, he felt alright; it was probably just a superficial injury. He was incredibly grateful for the tireless training he had undergone during this time, which had greatly improved his physical condition. Otherwise, he dared not even imagine the consequences.

Calming himself down, Lu Yunqi began to survey the place in the moonlight streaming in…

This should be an ancient well that has been abandoned for a long time. The well is circular, and the walls are made entirely of broken tiles. It is five feet wide and more than ten feet high.

There was a large depression at the bottom of the well. Lu Yunqi sat on the edge, picked up a fallen stick, and probed it down. The stick didn't reach the bottom, but he could hear the sound of water.

They have no tools at the moment, and climbing up empty-handed would be extremely difficult. It seems they can only wait for rescue here.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from above. Startled, Xuan Yuanxue quickly leaned against the well wall, barely daring to breathe loudly, for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, the person came and went in a hurry and did not see the abandoned well covered by weeds.

Just as she let her guard down, two drops of water suddenly fell on her face. When she reached out to wipe them away, she realized that it was actually raining lightly from the sky.

It started raining, and misfortunes never come singly. Xuan Yuanxue wanted to cry but dared not make a sound, so she could only hug herself tightly and grieve silently.

It's all her fault for being too careless. How could she have fallen for Aunt Xue's trick so easily?

Big Yellow is such a smart wolfhound, how could it eat food thrown to it by someone else, how could it get poisoned so easily? If she had been more careful and asked Sister Qian to go check with her, this definitely wouldn't have happened...

She looked up and quickly moved closer to Lu Yunqi. The well was mostly covered by weeds, so even when it rained, only a few drops would occasionally fall, which didn't have much of an impact.

Lu Yunqi was closing his eyes, trying his best to endure the physical pain and inexplicable restlessness, when suddenly a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. Lu Yunqi felt as if his body had been exploded, and he frantically wanted to absorb a little comfort.
