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

"I really can't help you with this, I don't have any money."

Lu Yunqi's eyes sharpened as he directly rejected him. He could fool him about his feelings, but he was truly useless at swindling money from him.

“Brother Yun, Brother Chuan has some.”

Yu Ke'er was not giving up and said to him in a coquettish tone, "In the past, as long as I used this trick, Lu Yunqi would obediently give in. This time, I don't believe I can be rejected."

"Then you should borrow it from Chuan'er. I can't make that decision for him."

"Brother Yun..."

Yu Ke'er was so angry she almost stomped her feet. How could Lu Yunqi be so stubborn? She had already humbled herself so much, how could he still remain unmoved?

Lu Yunqi turned his head with a cold face, giving the order to leave: "Ke'er, if there's nothing else, I'll go in. As for whether you want to borrow from Chuan'er, that's your business, I don't care."

"Brother Yun, how about lending us some money? Could you lend us your room? You know my older brother has a child who's been sick these past few days. He really needs a quiet place to rest."

Yu Ke'er compromised and said, "Father said that if we can't borrow the money, we must borrow the room. As long as we move in, we won't have to worry about them not lending us the money."

Lu Yunqi frowned repeatedly, so Yu Ke'er's visit to him was truly a blatant attempt to use him. All that talk about liking him and being unable to live without him was utter nonsense!

His eyes darkened, and a bitter smile appeared on Lu Yunqi's lips, a smile that seemed both mocking and genuinely unwilling. All these years of deep affection had ultimately been misplaced.

His heart felt as if it had been plunged into ice, numb with pain. He sadly refused, saying:

"The room was paid for by the third son's wife. I have no right to say whether to lend it or not. Why don't you ask her?"

"Lu Yunqi, are you even a member of the Lu family? Are you really so heartless as to abandon me?"

Seeing his attitude, Yu Ke'er felt increasingly hopeless and decided to drop the pretense, saying sternly:

"Lu Yunqi, I really misjudged you. You're a hopeless and incompetent person. I thought you truly loved me, but I never expected you couldn't even fulfill this simple request. You're a complete coward!"

Lu Yunqi, his face cold, said bluntly, "Think what you want, that's it!"

"Lu Yunqi, you can't leave..."

Enraged, Yu Ke'er grabbed his dress and started throwing a tantrum, trying to get the officials to pressure her to achieve her goal.

clap clap clap...

Song Qingqian clapped her hands and walked out from around the corner as if watching a good show. She really didn't expect that Lu Yunqi had actually improved. It seems that the child is still teachable.

"What are you laughing at? What's it to you?"

Yu Ke'er's tantrum was interrupted before it could be fully unleashed, leaving her unsure whether to continue.

Song Qingqian said smugly, "Of course it's my business. First, didn't you want to borrow money? Lu Yunqi doesn't have any, but I do. Second, this bedroom is mine, and the person in charge is here if you want to borrow it."

"Why can you talk to Lu Yunqi so easily, but you wouldn't dare if it were me? Are you just taking advantage of his affection?"

Yu Ke'er fell silent. She realized that she couldn't win an argument with Song Qingqian, which put her at a disadvantage. But if she went back like this, she would definitely suffer the consequences. So she couldn't leave!

Just as she hesitated, the door opened, and Lu Jingchuan pushed his wheelchair out. After glancing at the group, he looked directly at Song Qingqian and said in a low voice:

I need to talk to you!

"Brother Chuan, please lend us some money. We're family, after all. Even if we're broken, our bones are still connected."

Yu Ke'er quickly turned her attention to Lu Jingchuan. At this moment, the two Lu sisters upstairs heard the commotion and quickly came downstairs, followed by the old lady.

"Aunt, sob sob..."

"Aunt, please have pity on us..."

Upon seeing that everyone she wanted to see had arrived, Yu Ke'er quickly rushed forward, embraced the old lady, and burst into tears, earnestly portraying her pitiful state and recounting the helplessness and sorrow of the Yu family...

The two Lu sisters exchanged a disgusted look, then rolled their eyes speechlessly. Yu Ke'er's actions were truly shameless.

"Second brother, go and pull her away!"

Lu Lanyue spoke up to remind her.

"What she wants to do is none of my business!"

Lu Yunqi left a sentence and turned to go back to his room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang, revealing the pent-up anger in his heart.

"Third sister-in-law, what should we do? Will Mother soften her heart? I think she's just deliberately playing the victim to gain Mother's sympathy."

"Yes, what if Mother softens her heart? They'll definitely take advantage of us!"

The two sisters whispered sadly, complaining softly to Song Qingqian.

Song Qingqian nodded, then turned her eyes and said, "Well, it's hard for my mother-in-law to say about this. You two should handle it. You're not that far apart in age, so even if you fall out, I'll cover for you."

She then whispered a few words in the sisters' ears, and they quickly understood.

As Lu Jingchuan watched the three of them whispering and discussing, a strange emotion inexplicably rose in his heart. If only the Lu family hadn't suffered this misfortune, how wonderful it would be if everyone were living happily together...

Just as the old lady was feeling somewhat exhausted, Lu Lanyue exclaimed, "Hey, whose ten taels of silver fell on the ground? Strange, no one has claimed it. Since no one claims it, it's mine."

What? Ten taels? Yu Ke'er looked back and saw Lu Lanyue bending down to pick up the silver. She quickly let go of the old lady and rushed over to speak:

"It's mine, I just dropped it!"

Seeing this, Lu Xieyue quickly stepped forward to support the old lady, saying with heartache, "Mother, I told you not to come out, but you insisted. Now you've suffered enough, haven't you? Go back and rest. Third Sister-in-law will handle things here."

The old lady sighed repeatedly, then turned and, supported by her daughter, went upstairs. She had truly grown old…

Just as Yu Ke'er ran over to grab it, Lu Lanyue threw the "silver" she had picked up into the air.

When Yu Ke'er saw the "silver" land, she quickly started practicing. Upon closer inspection, she realized she had been tricked. It wasn't silver at all; it was clearly lead.

"Lu Lanyue, you lied to me!"

Yu Ke'er gritted her teeth and was about to go up and teach Lu Lanyue a lesson when Song Qingqian slapped her so hard that her ears rang.

"I was just kidding, so what? You dare to call me back?"

"Song Qingqian!"

Just as Yu Ke'er was about to fight her, Song Qingqian kicked her away.

Song Qingqian sneered, "You're really not qualified to take revenge. Go back and practice some more."

"Remember this, go back and tell the Yu family to keep up your initial arrogance, otherwise I really won't look down on these underhanded tactics. Next time, I'll beat one if one comes, and two if two come. I have fists every day, but I'm just missing a sparring partner. If you want one, go ahead."

"Sir, help! Someone is beating people up!"

Yu Ke'er quickly grabbed a soldier who was watching the commotion, hoping he would intervene. The soldier glanced at Song Qingqian, then at Lu Jingchuan, and finally dragged Yu Ke'er away, muttering curses as he did so.

"If you don't have any money, stay in the backyard. Are you looking for death by barging in here? Get back now."

"Sir..."

Lu Lanyue excitedly hugged Song Qingqian's arm and exclaimed with delight, "Third Sister-in-law is awesome! You're so amazing! I want to learn from you. From now on, I'll never waste words with her if I can just take action!"

Song Qingqian smiled gently, pinched her cheek, and said, "You have to consider your strength before you fight, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers."

"However, since we are now in exile, it's better to be a bit more assertive, otherwise others will think we're easy to bully."

"Okay, I understand!"

Song Qingqian nodded: "Go upstairs and take a good shower and bath first. The food will be delivered in about an incense stick's time. I'll call you then. Take a good rest these next two days."

"it is good!"

Lu Lanyue smiled sweetly, turned around and went upstairs.

Song Qingqian turned to look at Lu Jingchuan and asked in a low voice, "Shall we talk in the room, or here?"

"Let's go back to our room!"

Song Qingqian nodded and pushed Lu Jingchuan back to the room. When Lu Yunqi saw the two of them come in, he quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Song Qingqian smiled and reminded him, "A grown man shouldn't be crying after being dumped. You're so pathetic!"

Lu Yunqi's already weary heart was stabbed again by Song Qingqian. What does it mean to be spineless? How many years of feelings had he invested? How could he just cut them off so easily? Besides, this was a complete and utter deception.

Song Qingqian raised her eyebrows and smiled, comforting him: "Lu Yunqi, you two have already eloped. Although you didn't win her heart, you did win her body, so you didn't lose out."
