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

The procession had only been going for half an hour when it suddenly stopped ahead, followed by Madam Song's heart-wrenching cries.

Curious, some people went closer to see what was going on, and saw two people lying on the ground not far from the front of the line.

Wang whispered to the group, "It's Song Weilan, the eldest daughter of the Song family, and the old lady of the Hu family, who were just swept away by that tornado."

"They all died from the fall!"

"The old lady from the Hu family died relatively normally, she probably didn't suffer too much. But Song Weilan clearly landed face-first and was completely mangled, her clothes were covered in blood, and both her wrists were broken..."

Wang shook her head as she spoke, it was truly too tragic, she felt horrified just looking at it, and she might have nightmares tonight!

"Really? That's terrible!"

Mrs. Huo dared not look, and could only mutter in agreement. Ever since Old Madam Huo died, she couldn't bear to see dead people...

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi's face instantly turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly pushed through the crowd to get inside.

If he wasn't mistaken, Song Weilan and Song Qingqian were swept away together. Song Weilan ended up here, but what about Song Qingqian?

Lu Yunqi couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to think any further. If someone was smashed into a pulp, how high must they have been thrown from...?

"Chuan'er...no, it can't be!"

Lu Yunqi couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had personally witnessed the two families hastily dig a pit together under the urging of the soldiers, dragged the two people in, threw them in, and then filled the pit with soil to bury them!

The exile procession resumed its journey after only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Lu Yunqi stood frozen in place, his body covered in a cold sweat.

In his past life, such scenes were commonplace in his dreams. He had practically buried his entire Lu family with his own hands. He eked out a living, and couldn't even remember where his family members were buried...

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

As the procession passed by, Lu Xieyue reached out and patted Lu Yunqi, asking him with concern.

"Second Brother, your face is so pale, are you not feeling well? And why are you sweating?"

"fine!"

Lu Yunqi regained his senses and hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"It's alright...it's alright..."

"You guys go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll catch up in a bit!"

Lu Yunqi waved his hand. His legs were so stiff that he felt it was difficult to move them. He didn't dare let his younger sister see that something was wrong with him.

"okay!"

Lu Xieyue was a little confused, and then she turned around and whispered to Xuan Yuanxue.

"Sister Xue, Second Brother will listen to you. Go and check on him. I feel like something's wrong with him."

"Row!"

Xuan Yuanxue glanced back at Lu Yunqi several times, and seeing that he was still standing there motionless, she was a little worried. Thinking of this, she turned around and walked back.

She had only taken a few steps when she saw Yu Ke'er approaching. This woman was actually alive; she was really lucky.

Last time, the two of them were almost killed by Yu Ke'er. Now she still dares to get involved. She's simply beyond redemption!

"Brother Yun, are you feeling unwell? Ke'er is here to help you!"

Yu Ke'er smiled gently and tried to help Lu Yunqi up, but he shoved her away forcefully.

"roll!"

Lu Yunqi snorted, utterly disgusted.

"Brother Yun, I know I was wrong about what happened last time. I apologize to you. Didn't you take revenge back then? My heart still hurts!"

"Brother Yun..."

"Step aside!"

Xuan Yuanxue stepped forward and deliberately bumped into her. Yu Ke'er lost her balance and fell to the ground, scraping her palm.

Xuan Yuanxue stepped forward to help Lu Yunqi up, and warned Yu Ke'er:

"You're a heartless person. Stay away from us. We don't need your fake compassion!"

Yu Ke'er gritted her teeth and got up to pounce on Xuan Yuanxue, wanting to fight her, but Lu Yunqi kicked her directly in the abdomen.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to get out?"

Lu Yunqi shielded Xuan Yuanxue behind him, glaring at Yu Ke'er with eyes wide with fury.

Yu Ke'er clutched her lower abdomen, writhing in pain and unable to straighten up; her whole body was trembling uncontrollably…

"Yu Ke'er, don't pretend, I didn't use any force at all!"

"Ignore her, let's go!"

Xuan Yuanxue glanced at Yu Ke'er on the ground, tugged at Lu Yunqi and reminded him that they had fallen to the back of the group and would be whipped if they were any slower.

"it is good!"

Lu Yunqi had just taken a step when his legs buckled and he nearly fell. Xuan Yuanxue reacted quickly and caught him, asking with concern:

"Second Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, you were probably just stressed, you'll feel better after a while!"

As Lu Yunqi explained, he quickly composed himself. He had just witnessed too many tragic scenes of people, which traumatized him and made his body somewhat out of control.

What did you just see?

Xuan Yuanxue helped him up and asked with concern.

"I'm not going to say it, you'll have nightmares if I do!"

After Lu Yunqi finished speaking, he turned around and saw Yu Ke'er being helped up by Yue Kun and placed on the grain transport cart, looking as if she was in extreme pain.

No wonder Yue Kun was so ruthless towards him back then; it turns out he had already been having an affair with Yu Ke'er. She really did find herself a powerful backer.

After a while, Lu Yunqi recovered and quickly caught up with the Lu family, dragging Xuan Yuanxue along with him.

Looking at her hand being held tightly, Xuan Yuanxue smiled, her mood bright and cheerful. It seemed that this was quite nice.

After noon, the exiles only managed to rest for half an hour before being urged to set off.

The vegetation in the ancient city area is now severely damaged, and even a gentle breeze can stir up a cloud of yellow sand.

With Song Qingqian and the other woman absent, the other branches of the Lu family began plotting to steal the grain from the Lu family's carriage.

With the help of the Wang and Huo families along the way, they were eager to make a move but dared not. As night fell, they became more and more restless.

Lu Haize quietly approached Lu Yunqi and started chatting with him. Lu Yunqi ignored him, but Lu Haize kept saying nice things and wouldn't let it go.

Lu Haoyu approached the two Lu sisters to catch up, while Lu Che directly caught up with Bai Shi, calling her "elder sister-in-law" repeatedly.

Madam Qian also shamelessly came to apologize to the old lady...

Xuan Yuanxue and Zhan'er were isolated to one side, and the more they looked at them, the more they felt that they had ulterior motives.

Wang tugged at her and cautiously reminded her, "This weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chickens is definitely not a good thing. Tell them to be careful. It's not appropriate for outsiders like us to interfere."

Xuan Yuanxue nodded silently. She was an outsider too, so how could she interfere?

After a day's journey, they finally saw a grove of trees. Sun Wuyin was overjoyed and, without hesitation, allowed the exiled team to enter and find a place to rest.

Now, even if there's a tornado, the team will be safe with the trees providing shelter, and the sandstorm won't kill anyone.

That evening, several branches of the Lu family took the initiative to befriend the third branch. The eldest son of the Lu family and Madam Qian directly took out the meat they had snatched from the tornado and wanted to share it with the other branches of the Lu family.

The second branch of the Lu family brought out two jars of fine wine, intending to drink with the Lu family's children.

The third branch of the family kept refusing, but the other branches were quick to offer help, some cooking, some grilling meat, making porridge, and pouring drinks...

The entire Lu family fell into a strange state. The Wang and Huo families were relegated to a far corner, unable to help and too embarrassed to get involved.
