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

"That's not OK!"

Song Qingqian retorted that it wasn't that she didn't trust Lu Jingchuan, but that she lacked self-control and didn't trust herself.

“Qianqian…”

Lu Jingchuan tried to charm Song Qingqian, but seeing that she remained unmoved, he had no choice but to give in in frustration.

"My wife is so heartless. Fine, I'll sleep on the soft couch. Who told me to dote on Qianqian so much!"

After saying that, Lu Jingchuan kissed her cheek. What should he do? He was so reluctant to let her go.

Seeing Lu Jingchuan slink away, Song Qingqian couldn't help but chuckle.

Although there was a screen between them, Song Qingqian could still see the figure curled up on the soft couch through the moonlight.

Lu Jingchuan was tall and burly, and the soft couch was too small for him to sleep on. He looked rather comical with his legs curled up.

Hearing him tossing and turning in an uncomfortable sleeping position, Song Qingqian simply turned her back to him. Out of sight, out of mind, she couldn't be soft-hearted.

In her dazed state, she fell into a somewhat cold embrace. Lu Jingchuan held her tightly and murmured:

"Wife, it's too cold, let me come in and warm up!"

"Um…"

Song Qingqian replied softly, then turned and snuggled into Lu Jingchuan's arms, placing her hand on his chest.

Goodnight, you alluring little devil!

Lu Jingchuan chuckled softly, kissed her forehead, and hugged her even tighter.

What a hypocritical little devil! If he had known she wasn't angry, he wouldn't have spent so much time preparing himself.

After a good night's sleep, when Song Qingqian opened her eyes, she found herself lying on top of Lu Jingchuan.

He was fully clothed, but Lu Jingchuan's upper body had been stripped naked, and her little hands were still gripping his abs and refusing to let go...

"morning!"

Song Qingqian withdrew her finger and smiled awkwardly. She wanted to leave, but Lu Jingchuan grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"My wife made advances at me last night, but luckily I resisted fiercely, otherwise I would have been in real trouble..."

"Hehe...hehe..."

Song Qingqian smiled awkwardly but politely.

"It's your own fault for insisting on climbing up here. If you hadn't gone to bed, none of this would have happened."

"However, considering your good performance, I'll allow you to sleep with me tonight."

Lu Jingchuan nodded in satisfaction: "Okay!"

Early on, Lord Du was already waiting at the courtyard gate. Upon seeing Song Qingqian, he excitedly explained:

"Madam, there are suddenly far fewer locusts today. And a lot of birds have flown in from somewhere. I've never seen many of them before. With these birds around, we'll definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Madam, is there any more of this medicine powder? We've already used up most of it in just one hour, and this probably won't be enough!"

"So fast?"

Song Qingqian exclaimed in surprise: "Yes, we do. It will take time for me to allocate them. Collect them today and have them come back tomorrow."

Lord Du nodded: "Alright then, I'll do as Madam says!"

Just after noon, gongs were sounded in the south of the city!

The porridge wasn't even ready yet, but the villagers had already formed a long line. Word spread quickly, and soon men, women, and children from the village had all come…

Three large pots were boiling simultaneously, and Song Qingqian kept carrying food boxes down from the carriage.

"Oh, there's meat in this porridge! General War truly cares for the people, what a good man..."

"There are also vegetables... This is even better than our usual meals..."

.........

"Don't push... don't push... take your time, there's room for everyone!"

Lu Xieyue was anxious to speak, her arms aching from serving food to everyone.

Looking back, I saw that my third sister-in-law and third brother were still taking things out.

"Second brother!"

As soon as Lu Xieyue finished speaking, she saw her second brother smiling as he wiped the sweat from Xuan Yuanxue's brow, took the spoon from her hand, and continued serving food to the people.

"Pshaw, I wouldn't believe you two aren't having an affair!"

Lu Xieyue pouted and muttered under her breath.

The way the second brother looks at Xuan Yuanxue is so abnormal. Ever since the two of them were rescued last time, the second brother has always been grinning at Xuan Yuanxue in a sly way and showing concern for her in every way.

He doesn't seem to fawn over his two younger sisters like that.

"Big brother, can you take my place?"

Helpless, Lu Xieyue could only beckon to the soldiers on the side to ask for their help.

Seeing that someone had just left, Xuan Yuanxue came over again to collect the item and reminded them:

"Those who have already received food cannot receive it today. Let's help those who have no food!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little wench? When did I receive that? You must be mistaken!"

The man put his hands on his hips and spoke angrily.

"That's right, that's right, young lady, you must have remembered it wrong!"

Several men behind him echoed.

Xuan Yuanxue frowned and stared at the group, emphasizing, "If I remember correctly, all of you have already passed, and you even cut in line! That's not right."

"You little brat, you're good at spouting nonsense. If you don't want to give it to me, just say so. Why make up so many excuses?"

"I...I didn't!"

Xuan Yuanxue was furious. How could there be such an unreasonable person?

Lu Yunqi raised his hand and grabbed the troublemaker by the collar, pulling him out of the crowd of refugees.

"All of you, come out here!"

"Xue'er, continue serving them food!"

Lu Yunqi reached out and pulled the two people behind him out as well, speaking coldly:

"Get out of here now. You'll be back tomorrow. If you insist on causing trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Hey, the government is distributing porridge, what are you, a poor steward, doing putting on a show? If you don't give any, who do you think you are?"

The man chuckled and pushed Lu Yunqi backward forcefully, only to find that he was standing perfectly straight.

Seeing that someone was causing trouble, Song Qingqian handed the items to Lu Jingchuan and then walked over with her whip in hand.

Without saying a word, she raised her whip and lashed it at the men.

"What are you doing? Want to fight? You guys think you're all grown up now, haven't you?"

"Who are you... How dare you hit someone? Do you know who I am?"

The man shouted.

"Who am I? I'm your ancestor! Shameless thing, get out!"

As Song Qingqian spoke, she lashed out with two more lashes.

"We are members of the Lu family. This porridge distribution is a gift from the Lu family to you. How dare you bully our people without even knowing who we are!"

Song Qingqian looked at the crowd in line and said, "If you want to have something to eat, then behave yourselves. I'm doing you a favor by giving you food; if you starve to death, it has nothing to do with us. Think it over carefully."

"Today, those three are the consequence of your cunning and trickery! See that clearly!"

Song Qingqian tossed the whip to Lu Yunqi and ordered, "Beat him, beat him to death! I won't tolerate him not learning his lesson. It's like three rotten apples spoiling the whole barrel!"

The man panicked and quickly knelt down, kowtowing: "Heroine... Heroine, spare our lives! We will never dare to do it again."

"Go ahead and fight! What are you standing there for? Have you forgotten he was just about to attack you?"

Seeing Lu Yunqi hesitate, Song Qingqian reminded him, "Be firm when necessary. Why are you afraid of this kind of troublemaker?"

"what…"

Screams rang out, and the refugees queuing for food were so frightened that their legs went weak. Some of them also felt a sense of relief.

These few scoundrels are always bullying others, and now someone finally dares to teach them a lesson like this. It's really satisfying!
