"Yu'er, come here!"

After Song Qingqian called Lu Yu'er over, she immediately carried her up and placed her in Lu Jingchuan's arms, instructing her:

"Yu'er, please sit down first. We'll switch with Zhan'er when he can't walk anymore."

"Third Aunt, I can walk, so let Yu'er sit here!"

Zhan'er quickly added that he was a man and had to protect his sister and mother; he could do it.

Song Qingqian smiled and patted his head, nodding: "Alright then, but if you're too tired to walk, you have to say so. You're still a child, you don't have to force yourself, understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

The family happily followed the exile procession, but some of the exiles kept looking back at the horse that Song Qingqian was leading, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Why were they the only ones receiving preferential treatment, even though they were all exiled? As for how they got the horse, they chose to ignore it, since they didn't have the ability to capture the Crimson Flame Horse…

Since the matter was brought up, the Lu family has become increasingly polite to Song Qingqian. Of course, Song Qingqian didn't take it seriously, and everything remained the same.

Lu Yunqi silently followed behind the women of the Lu family. The wound on his back had not been treated since last night and was unbearably itchy. He glanced back at the doctor and finally made up his mind to wait for the Yu family.

When the old man from the Yu family saw him stop, his face turned black with anger, and he spat out a mouthful of phlegm and cursed:

"Useless things are just an eyesore!"

"Ke'er, if you help him, then get out of the Yu family with your aunt. We don't have people like that who betray their own family."

Madam Yu said disdainfully, "As expected, children born to women who can't be presented in public are all the same. What a pity for the master's offspring..."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yu Ke'er hid behind Madam Xue, who silently lowered her head and said nothing more.

After all, she was a dancer by profession, and it was already a stroke of luck that she was able to get Old Man Yu to redeem her. She had no other hope, and only hoped that her daughter could marry into a good family.

Originally, everyone approved of Ke'er and Lu Yunqi's relationship. After all, the Marquis's family was powerful and the Yu family relied on them in many ways, so it was a marriage that strengthened family ties.

But who could have imagined this would happen? Now everyone is turning the tables and blaming her daughter…

With a forced smile, Madam Xue assured, "Don't worry, sir. From now on, our Ke'er will no longer have any dealings with that second son of the Lu family."

The old man from the Yu family remained silent. He had originally hoped to benefit from the Lu family's influence through Lu Yunqi, but now that he had been kicked out, what use was he to them? He was just a burden.

"Ke'er, quickly promise your father, otherwise we will really be kicked out."

Madam Xue pulled her daughter out from behind her and urged her in a low voice, "This concerns your future life and death, so you can't be careless."

Under Lu Yunqi's eager and adoring gaze, Yu Ke'er made her promise:

"Father, your daughter will be obedient. Your daughter will definitely not associate with Brother Yun again."

Madam Yu said sarcastically, "You're trying to seduce that useless Lu Yunqi. You'd be better off focusing on Lord Sun. After all, he's our provider now. Only if he treats us well can we have a good life."

Yu Ke'er nodded silently: "Madam is right!"

"You vixen, you're just like your mother!"

Old Madam Yu snorted coldly and spat out a curse.

Old Man Yu nodded: "It's good that you know. Our Yu family doesn't support idlers!"

Hearing the Yu family's conversation, Lu Yunqi was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. Incredulously, he rushed forward and grabbed Yu Ke'er's hand, pleadingly asking:

"Ke'er, you won't do that, right? You love me, we said we'd be together forever... Tell them, tell them..."

Yu Ke'er's tears flowed uncontrollably, falling like broken beads onto Lu Yunqi's hand.

She was so frail that she could not support herself and slumped against Lu Yunqi. He took the opportunity to put his arm around Yu Ke'er's waist, feeling even more bitter inside.

"Ke'er, don't worry, I understand... I don't blame you... It's all my fault..."

"Brother Yun, let's just forget about it!"

As soon as Yu Ke'er finished speaking, a soldier lashed out with a whip, and she hurriedly buried her face in Lu Yunqi's arms.

"what…"

Lu Yunqi took another solid lash, his old wounds not yet healed and a new one added, the pain making him feel as if he had lost half his life in an instant.

"Brother Yun, I'm sorry, please forget me!"

After Yu Ke'er finished speaking, she wiped away her tears and ran off to catch up with Aunt Xue.

Lu Yunqi didn't react in time and was whipped hard again before he quickened his pace.

The old lady looked at her second son with heartache and sighed. Her son was not a bad person at heart, he was just stubborn.

Now that she has lost her son and daughter, she can't just stand by and watch him be beaten to death, can she?

After thinking for a long time, she still pleaded, "Qingqian, even if your mother-in-law begs you, please help him. As long as you can save his life, your mother-in-law... your mother-in-law is willing to be your servant for the rest of her life!"

Song Qingqian sighed and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you want him to get better?"

"Of course!"

The old lady nodded quickly; she dreamed of the best for her children.

Song Qingqian said bluntly, "Then let's leave him alone. He'll only realize his mistake when he's had enough of the coldness of human relationships. Right now, his eyes are blinded. The more we try to stop him, the deeper he'll sink. It's better to let him see things clearly."

"Can…"

“Mother-in-law, don’t worry about it. I know what I’m doing.”

"All right!"

The old lady turned back to look at Lu Yunqi walking behind the Yu family. How had she treated this brother before? And now? This was how they treated her son… It was truly heartbreaking!

Lu Yunqi followed Yu Ke'er at a distance, neither too close nor too far, to express his protest and dissatisfaction.

Not only did Old Man Yu kick him, but even the eldest brother of the Yu family disliked him and punched and kicked him, but none of this could stop his determination to be with Yu Ke'er.

Seeing him go mad, Aunt Xue was extremely anxious. What should she do? They might really be kicked out of the Yu family...

As the exiles passed through a grove of trees, a wonderful aroma of roasted meat suddenly wafted through the air, and everyone's eyes lit up as they rushed toward the source of the smell.

"Oh no, it's an ambush!"

Before losing consciousness, Song Qingqian led the group into the space after speaking.

Looking at the more than two hundred people who had completely lost consciousness, the bandit leader smiled knowingly and praised them:

"Kid, you're the one with the most tricks up your sleeve, always knowing how to use others' influence."

"Guards, seize all their money!"

"Boss, where's that beauty?"

At this moment, the man who had used the skill stood up and reminded him, "Boss, the government is pressing us hard right now. We must not cause too much of a scene, or we will suffer more losses than gains!"

"Ah, right, right, Brother Lin is right. Just take three or five to have some fun, don't alert the enemy!"

The bandit leader chuckled and strode towards Sun Wuyin, who was dressed as an exiled official…
