Confiscating property? A stunningly beautiful substitute bride empties the national treasury and is
Chapter 22 1 stone 3 birds
Seeing her third aunt suddenly become so fierce, Xiao Yu'er didn't dare to get any closer to her and could only pitifully lean against Lu Lanyue's side.
Just as Song Qianchou was being encouraged by his wife and daughter to go and ask Song Qingqian for some food, he had only taken two steps when he heard the Lu family arguing over some food.
He knew he wouldn't get anywhere by going there, so he had no choice but to return. He simply couldn't eat a single bite of that wild vegetable porridge.
He had just picked up a steamed bun and taken a bite when he heard his wife speak in a resentful voice:
"Hey! Each white steamed bun costs five copper coins, and we only have fifty taels of silver among us. At most, we won't last long. Besides, we can't just eat steamed buns every day, can we?"
"In that case, starting at noon, our family will only buy three steamed buns each. Master, you and Madam Liu can eat the coarse flour steamed buns the soldiers give us. That way, we can hold out a little longer..."
Liu lowered her head silently. She was the one with the least say in the family, as her mother-in-law had always been so domineering and autocratic.
"I don't want it! That's not even fit for human consumption."
Song Qianchou protested.
Madam Song snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Then go ask that little bitch for it. That way we can save a lot of money."
Song Qianchou was speechless again after being cornered like that...
Just as the officers and soldiers packed up the large pot and were about to set off, someone suddenly shouted: "There's a horse! It's a wild horse!"
"No...it's a warhorse..."
Zhang He recognized it and corrected him, "What a majestic warhorse!"
Sun Wuyin immediately became interested and commanded, "Catch it! I want to tame it, and it will be my mount from now on!"
The officers and soldiers rushed forward and quickly surrounded the Crimson Flame Horse. However, before they could arrest it, the horse kicked them away one by one with lightning speed, leaving the officers and soldiers no time to deal with it.
The exiled soldiers were all eager to try their luck on the warhorse. After half an incense stick's time, most of the soldiers were wounded, but the Crimson Flame Horse was completely unharmed.
After it runs away and shakes off the soldiers, it will turn back and repeat this process, which is the greatest provocation to Sun Wuyin.
At this moment, Song Qingqian stepped forward and suggested, "It would be a pity if such a warhorse escaped. How about the officer gives everyone a chance? Whoever successfully captures this warhorse can keep it, okay?"
"The suggestion is good, but the warhorse won't do!"
Sun Wuyin hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Whoever can capture this Crimson Flame Horse can choose any one of my horses for themselves."
"Is this true?"
Song Qingqian smiled.
"My word is as good as gold!"
"it is good!"
Song Qingqian nodded, and after watching the exiled crowd rush past, she slowly walked towards an open space.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Song Qingqian put her finger to her lips and whistled. In an instant, the Crimson Flame Horse rushed out of the crowd and galloped towards Song Qingqian with lightning speed.
Just as everyone was gloating and waiting for Song Qingqian to be kicked away, Song Qingqian lightly leaped onto the horse's back and put the reins on the Crimson Flame Horse.
She then rode her fiery steed and galloped away through the crowd. A moment later, she rode the same steed back to the exile group.
Before handing it over to Sun Wuyin, Song Qingqian affectionately stroked its head and stroked its fur before finally handing it to Sun Wuyin.
Just as Sun Wuyin confidently approached, the Crimson Flame Horse, as if possessed, kicked him directly in the side of his kidney...
"Ah~"
A scream rang out as Sun Wuyin was kicked more than ten meters away. Song Qingqian touched her kidney in shock; she knew without a doubt it must be incredibly painful…
As expected, the old emperor's horse was just as ferocious as he was.
"You guys hold him back, I refuse to believe it today!"
Sun Wuyin had just recovered when he ordered his soldiers to arrest her, but no one dared to go. So he pointed at Song Qingqian and said:
"You go!"
Song Qingqian had already chosen her horse and was about to lead it back when she heard this, she quickly waved her hand:
"I'm not going. I want to live a few more years."
"It listens to you, go! If you can hold its reins, I'll give you five taels of silver!"
Sun Wuyin began to tempt her.
Song Qingqian smiled faintly: "Sir, who are you trying to fool with five taels of silver? This is a matter of life and death, fifty taels!"
"Are you dreaming? Song Qingqian, you're an exile. You have to do whatever I tell you to do!"
Sun Wuyin snorted coldly and mocked.
Song Qingqian shook her head: "That won't do either. I'm being exiled, not executed. Do you think the official would try to tamper with the imperial edict?"
"you…"
Sun Wuyin, panting heavily, sighed and conceded, "Twenty taels, that's the most I can give you."
After a moment of silence, Song Qingqian nodded, walked closer, and held out her hand, saying, "Give me the silver!"
Sun Wuyin angrily threw twenty taels at her, and all the exiled prisoners were stunned. Could this really happen?
Song Qingqian was quite pleased with herself after receiving the money. She chased after him, grabbed the reins, and handed them to Zhang He.
After gripping the reins tightly, Zhang He helped Sun Wuyin mount the horse.
In an instant, the Crimson Flame Horse broke free of its reins and charged forward, throwing Sun Wuyin off and kicking him hard.
"Grab...grab it..."
In a short while, there was no trace of the Crimson Flame Horse.
Sun Wuyin was carried onto the carriage, glaring at Song Qingqian with resentment, his teeth itching with anger.
This is what it means to lose everything! The Crimson Flame Horse ran away, he lost twenty taels of silver, and he even inexplicably gave Song Qingqian a horse!
Song Qingqian was humming a little tune as she led her horse, feeling incredibly happy.
What a joke! She's already achieved her goal. She wouldn't even ride such a fine Crimson Flame Horse herself, so why would she just hand it over to someone else?
The Lu family was stunned when they saw Song Qingqian leading the horse back, especially Lu Yunqi, who felt as if the sky had fallen.
He had originally thought that this woman still needed him, since Lu Jingchuan couldn't leave without him, but now he really didn't even have a chance to show his abilities.
Many officers and soldiers were injured to varying degrees, and they were all complaining. Before Song Qingqian could even take a sip of water, they were ordered to set off.
Lu Lanyue put the floor mat away, hesitated for a moment, and then gave it to Song Qingqian.
"Third Sister-in-law, this is for you!"
Although she didn't know the exact relationship between Song Qingqian and her third brother, Song Qingqian was still there, so it was only right for her to call her "third sister-in-law." If Song Qingqian didn't let her call her that, she could change her address later.
Song Qingqian smiled and nodded. Lu Lanyue felt much more relaxed seeing her smile.
“Come over and lend a hand, let’s help your third brother up.”
"No need, I can manage on my own!"
Lu Jingchuan refused their help, but after trying for a while, his legs wouldn't budge. He lowered his head in frustration, his eyes filled with regret.
Song Qingqian went straight up to help him up and said:
"Don't give up. Recovery takes time, so take it slow!"
“You climb up with my help.”
Lu Jingchuan bit his lip, supported Song Qingqian's shoulders, grabbed the reins, and climbed up. It was just a simple action, but he was already covered in sweat.
