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

His companion was instantly beheaded, and a stream of hot blood sprayed onto his face and body.

"What the hell!"

He had just let go of the person in front of him when the scene before him shocked him so much that he couldn't tell if he was hallucinating.

Just as the arrow was about to hit the carriage, both the people and the carriage vanished instantly.

They vanished completely in the blink of an eye! Not only Ji Wen, but everyone blinked hard twice, but the carriage was nowhere to be seen; it had simply disappeared…

"Find them quickly, they can't have gone far."

The moment Ji Wen spoke, Song Qingqian grabbed his collar and thrust a dagger straight into his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and turned to the side, but the dagger pierced his chest.

Song Qingqian threw him off the horse with a forceful movement, turned around and disappeared. He was so close, so close to taking that beast's life!

"Find...find a doctor!"

After leaving behind a single sentence, Ji Wen completely fainted. Seeing this, the man in black could only lift him onto his horse and turn to leave.

After the carriage entered the space, it headed straight for the vast and boundless grassland.

Lu Jingchuan exerted all his strength to stop the two horses. He immediately lifted the carriage curtain and saw that the people inside had completely fainted...

"Qianqian..."

Lu Jingchuan was startled when he didn't see Song Qingqian and cried out in alarm.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Song Qingqian waving at him from a distance. Only then did Lu Jingchuan begin to survey his surroundings. The golden tiles and the rooftops were even more dazzling than those of a palace.

Neatly arranged warehouses, vast grasslands, forests, lakes, and rivers stretch as far as the eye can see...

He saw it when he was swept away by the tornado last time. It wasn't a hallucination; it actually existed. Where exactly is this?

How did they get in? He then turned his gaze to Song Qingqian, knowing that all of this must be inextricably linked to her.

"Qianqian..."

"Shh! Don't talk!"

Song Qingqian reached out and grabbed him, explaining with a smile, "Your time here is limited, let me take you back to your room for a tour first!"

What will happen to my mother and sister-in-law?

"It's alright, you'll be out in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Row!"

Lu Jingchuan was relieved. He had only taken two steps with her when two solemn and elegant doors caught his attention.

"This...this is not the palace..."

Shh! You know what I mean!

Song Qingqian smiled gently, took his hand, and walked straight inside. Everywhere they went, Lu Jingchuan was speechless with astonishment.

This house is truly comparable to two imperial palaces. No… it’s far more luxurious than an imperial palace. There are many things here that he has never seen before…

Lu Jingchuan felt his understanding had been completely refreshed; it turned out that his wife had single-handedly turned the entire capital upside down.

No wonder she had no shortage of money along the way; now it seems he really was lucky to be with her…

"Qianqian, where is this?"

Seeing Song Qingqian leisurely lying on the soft couch on one side, Lu Jingchuan sat down somewhat awkwardly. He had never seen such a comfortable couch before.

"My home, from now on, will also be your temporary home. How about it, do you like it?"

"like!"

Lu Jingchuan nodded seriously. Who wouldn't love such a paradise?

"Qianqian, where does this thing exist? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Uh……"

This stumped Song Qingqian. After a moment of thought, she explained, "Do you understand space? It's similar to parallel space."

Lu Jingchuan shook his head: "Does it mean something illusory, something imagined?"

"No, it's just a unique space. Never mind, you probably wouldn't understand even if I explained!"

"There's still half an incense stick's time left. Do you want to take a shower? You smell like you killed jackals yesterday."

Song Qingqian glanced at his robes and frowned as she spoke.

Lu Jingchuan asked doubtfully, "Is that alright?"

"Of course, but you need to finish this quickly!"

As Song Qingqian spoke, she pushed him into the bathroom. Worried that Lu Jingchuan wouldn't be used to the shower, she filled the bathtub with water.

Of course, before leaving, she still taught Lu Jingchuan how to use the shower.

After throwing his clothes into the laundry tub, Song Qingqian took a clean robe and placed it outside before turning and leaving the room.

The people inside the carriage were still fast asleep when Big Yellow smelled their scent and excitedly pounced over.

Song Qingqian rubbed its head and said with a smile, "It seems you're recovering well, but you still need to rest more and wait until you're fully recovered before you can go out."

"You silly dog, it's so nice here, you can enjoy yourself to the fullest. Why are you thinking about going out to suffer? Are you worried about the two kids?"

Big Yellow wagged its tail excitedly.

Song Qingqian sighed and explained, "Human hearts are unpredictable. The fewer people here who know this, the better. I'm worried that if they find out and it gets out, it will bring them death."

“Actually, I didn’t want to tell Lu Jingchuan either. He had already suspected something, but the situation was urgent, so I just told him. He… isn’t exactly an outsider. At least he’s on my side. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t tell anyone else.”

Song Qingqian muttered an explanation to herself.

Lu Jingchuan was indeed quick and decisive. After rinsing off, he quickly dressed and came out, watching the man and dog near the carriage from afar.

When Dahuang saw him, it barked twice and then pounced on him. Lu Jingchuan smiled, bent down and patted its head, then checked its wound.

Lu Jingchuan witnessed firsthand how badly it was injured last night, yet it was lively and energetic again after only a few hours. It was simply amazing.

No wonder Song Qingqian took it away; she's keeping it here. But seriously, this place is really beautiful.

"Perfect timing!"

Song Qingqian smiled at him, then left the space along with the carriage.

Lu Jingchuan whispered, "Is this the place we just disappeared from?"

Song Qingqian nodded, flicked the horse's tail, and the carriage sped away, leaving this dangerous place behind.

Lu Jingchuan leaned closer to her and whispered, "Qianqian, is it true that if we disappear somewhere, we'll reappear there?"

"That's the case in most situations, but there are exceptions!"

"I see!"

"Qianqian, is it true that only you can take us in, and we can't go in on our own even if we want to?"

Lu Jingchuan continued to press for answers, as he had too many questions in his mind that he needed to verify one by one.

Song Qingqian nodded and smiled faintly: "Of course, only I can control my space, no one else can."

"Qianqian, where did you get this space? Can I have one too?"

"you?"

Song Qingqian frowned as she looked at him, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "It's impossible in this life, but maybe it's possible in the next?"

"Then why are you allowed to have it?"

"Then I must have lived two lives, haha..."

After Song Qingqian finished speaking, she burst into laughter. Lu Jingchuan looked at Song Qingqian with suspicion.

He knew long ago that she was not the original Song Qingqian, but he did not believe in the two lifetimes theory. Let alone two lifetimes, even if there were ten lifetimes, the original Song Qingqian would still be just a young woman confined to her room.

Song Qingqian now seems to have had a different soul...

Just as he was deep in thought, the people in the carriage slowly woke up. Lu Yunqi hurriedly lifted the curtain to take a look and saw that Song Qingqian and Lu Jingchuan were acting as if nothing had happened.

He asked hurriedly, "Were we just attacked? Those men in black..."

"Ran!"

Song Qingqian said in a low voice, "They were persuaded by Lu Jingchuan's silver tongue, and then we ran away..."

"How did you escape? Don't try to fool me. There were so many men in black, how could you possibly get away?"

Lu Yunqi pressed for an answer, his face full of confusion. These people were clearly after their lives, how could they be let go so easily? But they were indeed safe now…

"just……"

Song Qingqian said frankly, "You were knocked unconscious by the smoke bomb just now. We broke through the men in black to escape. We're safe now, but you must be careful in the future!"

"Yes...yes, we need to calm down. It's strange that so many poisoned arrows didn't hit the carriage."

As Lu Yunqi spoke, he examined it carefully again and indeed there wasn't a single one.

Seeing that Lu Yunqi was still confused, Lu Jingchuan said bluntly, "Second brother, isn't it good that we're all alive? Do we have to get injured to be considered safe?"

Lu Yunqi quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, that's not what I meant. I just find it a bit unbelievable. I thought our whole family was going to die here, but now we're all unharmed. Anyone would be confused!"

"A narrow escape from death means good fortune is on the horizon, which means our good luck is yet to come!"

Song Qingqian smiled reassuringly.

When the exiles saw their carriages chasing after them, their eyes widened in disbelief. They were all unharmed! Had they reached an agreement? But those men looked like desperate criminals!

When Sun Wuyin heard that they had returned, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and had nowhere to vent his anger. This family was really hard to kill.

Seeing them catch up, Wang went over to them and asked about their well-being, whispering to them endlessly.

Song Qingqian raised her hand and pushed Lu Yunqi off the carriage, giving the order:

“Now that we’re safe, go for a run. You’ve been lazy these past few days since you got injured, and if this continues, you’ll just become a useless person again.”

Lu Yunqi pouted unconvinced, not daring to refute. He only rested for half a day yesterday because of the rain, so where did the several days come from?

After noon, the exiled group finally saw the so-called Imperial City in the valley, or more accurately, a small town.

Not long after Xiao Zhuozi went up to negotiate, the group entered the city one after another, and the Lu family members curiously lifted the carriage curtain to watch.

There were quite a few people on the street. As soon as Sun Wuyin entered the city, he rode away with Xiao Zhuozi, and the exiled team was handed over to Hu Dou for management.

Hu Dou was a very cautious man. Seeing Sun Wuyin leave, he immediately led the exile team to the official road around the city. In less than half an hour, the exile team arrived at the designated post station.

Unlike the previous inns which were large and had several floors, this inn was just a very large courtyard with rooms neatly arranged around it. There was a very large stable on the north side.

There weren't many people at the post station; most of the rooms were empty when the exiled groups checked in.

Lu Xieyue was shocked to hear that a room cost two taels of silver, and Wang Shi also complained:

"This inn is really not good. The rooms are small and smelly, and it's so expensive. Isn't this extortion?"
