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

Back in the carriage, Song Qingqian had barely settled in when Zhang He hurriedly rode up, having fallen countless times and covered in mud.

Upon seeing Song Qingqian, he hurriedly said, "Miss Lu, come out for a moment, Lord Sun requests your presence!"

Song Qingqian leisurely stroked Da Huang's fur and softly declined, "Sir, I just caught a cold and am very weak. It's inconvenient for me to receive guests, and I'm afraid I might infect you. I'd better not go. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

"Miss Lu, it's urgent, extremely urgent!"

Zhang He was extremely anxious, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Since it's urgent, why didn't you come in person? It seems it's not important. How could someone as insignificant as us catch your eye? I'd better not go and bother you."

Song Qingqian pouted and complained.

“Song Qingqian, the master is injured. As a member of the exile team, since you know medicine, you should do your part.”

Zhang He nervously reminded her, anxiously calling her name.

"It's your good fortune that the master needs you. If you can save the master, you will definitely be treated well in the future. This will be beneficial to you in every way!"

Song Qingqian shook her head and refused directly: "Then please tell the magistrate that I am just a weak woman with little influence and no power, and I really don't need any special treatment. It's fine as it is!"

"Song Qingqian, you're a prisoner, don't be ungrateful."

Zhang He gritted his teeth, wishing he could go up and drag Song Qingqian down to Sun Wuyin's carriage to treat him.

Although Hu Guo treated the wound, he said he couldn't cure the poison. He had witnessed Song Qingqian's medical skills several times, and they were far superior to his own, so Song Qingqian might have a solution. That's why he came looking for her with a long face.

"Sir, you are mistaken. I am not being ungrateful; I am just being cautious. If I go and fail to cure the sir and lose my head, who will I complain to?"

"you…"

Zhang He tried both soft and hard tactics, but Song Qingqian remained unmoved. However, Sun Wuyin's situation was extremely urgent; if there was any delay, the team would fall apart!

"Song Qingqian, I swear on my life that even if you can't cure her, I will protect your entire family's lives. Is that acceptable?"

"Don't be so stubborn. If being polite doesn't work, I'll just order the soldiers to take you away."

Seeing Zhang He's frantic state, Song Qingqian felt she had prepared herself, and then, feigning a moment's thought, spoke:

"I don't believe those guarantees. Here's a flat price of five taels of silver. Give me the silver and I'll go get treatment right now!"

"What? I have no money!"

"Then there's nothing more to discuss, sir. Please make yourself at home!"

"Song Qingqian!"

Zhang He stomped his feet in anger, his teeth itching with hatred, but Sun Wuyin's life hung in the balance and couldn't be delayed any longer. I gritted my teeth and spoke:

"Five taels it is!"

Song Qingqian happily accepted the silver, and seeing that only Zhang He was riding a horse, she casually asked:

"Where are the horses? Does the official expect me to walk? I have no problem walking, but I'm worried about whether this Magistrate Sun will be able to wait..."

"You! Give her the horse!"

Zhang He ordered a soldier on horseback at the back of the column. Although the soldier was very reluctant, he still threw the reins into Song Qingqian's hands out of respect for Zhang He.

Just then, Jiang Ce's weak cry for help came from the wheelchair behind the carriage. He saw Zhang He and, as if grasping at a straw, pleaded for help in a hoarse voice:

"Help...help me...please..."

Zhang He glanced at him, then ignored him and turned his horse around to leave quickly.

Song Qingqian smiled and reminded him, "Jiang Ce, do you see? Now you're just a useless piece of trash abandoned by the soldiers. You're a burden wherever you go. If I were you, I'd rather just end it all!"

She then rode away.

Jiang Ce was soaked by the rain and felt alternating chills and fever. He developed a high fever. If... if he continued to be soaked like this, he might die.

Seeing the busy Lu Yunqi, he hurriedly pleaded, "Lu Yunqi, would you... would you push me inside to take shelter from the rain? I'll give you two taels of silver."

Seeing that Lu Yunqi remained unmoved, he quickly added, "Three taels..."

"This is all I have left, please help me out, okay? I'll definitely remember your kindness and treat you well in the future..."

Lu Yunqi ignored him and got into the carriage.

Outside Sun Wuyin's carriage, Song Qingqian saw the eldest daughter of the Gao family who had been abandoned.

When Gao Huayan saw her, she quickly lowered her head and turned her face away. She had fallen to this state just to survive. If she had any other choice, she would not have taken this step.

Song Qingqian stepped directly onto the carriage. At this moment, Sun Wuyin lay there with a livid face and a stiff body, barely breathing.

Hu Guo sat to the side, sighing repeatedly. Seeing Song Qingqian, he quickly explained, "This old man is too clumsy to concoct this antidote. Miss Lu, please take a look..."

"That snake looks ordinary, but how can its venom be so potent? In all my years of traveling around, this is truly the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

Song Qingqian glanced at Sun Wuyin's wound, deliberately frowned, and pondered for a long time before suddenly realizing what was happening:

"Dr. Hu, does this venom look like the venom of a five-step snake?"

"Legend has it that the five-step snake has large venom glands, long fangs, and its venom has good hemolytic properties. It is known as a high-level killer among snakes. If the venom is not cleaned up, the snake will die from the poison in just a few hours."

Hu Guo panicked even more upon hearing this and said anxiously, "What can we do? I just tried to suck the snake venom out of his body, but the venom has already entered his bloodstream, and I really can't do anything about it!"

"Miss Lu, you must think of something quickly."

"Help...help me!"

After uttering two words in a low voice, Sun Wuyin gripped Song Qingqian's dress with all her might and assured her:

"You saved me... I promise I'll never make things difficult for the Lu family again, I... I'll do whatever you say..."

Song Qingqian nodded and reassured him, "Sir, I'm not sure about it. I can only say that I will do my best."

"Just do your best... just do your best, you must heal me!"

Song Qingqian took a deep breath and explained, "Sir, it's raining heavily outside, and staying in this carriage for too long without proper air circulation will hinder your recovery."

"Or you could send a team out to scout out where there's a place to rest nearby, and then have the soldiers quickly carry you there..."

"well!"

Sun Wuyin then spoke weakly, ordering, "Zhang...Zhang He, take twenty men out to find a place to rest and take shelter from the rain. Go quickly and come back quickly!"

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Zhang He glanced at Song Qingqian with a puzzled look. Was there a conflict between detoxification and sheltering from the rain? Besides, Sun Wuyin hadn't gotten wet at all in the carriage the whole time!

Do you have antitoxin serum?

Song Qingqian pressed for an answer.

Hu Guo nodded: "These are all homemade ones that I've already tried, but they don't work at all."

His homemade venom worked against ordinary venomous snakes, but this venom was too potent.

"Then we'll have to try this. Hopefully it will work!"

As she spoke, Song Qingqian took out a porcelain bottle from her small bag, poured out a black pill, and handed it to Hu Guo, asking him to feed it to Sun Wuyin.

"Miss Lu, what is this?"

After Hu Guo finished feeding the medicine, he belatedly asked the question. It was all his fault for being so impatient; what if he had caused a major disaster?

"My homemade antidote pills can cure all poisons, but I don't know if they'll work on this five-step snake. Let's wait and see."

As soon as Song Qingqian finished speaking, Hu Guo was terrified. This young lady Lu was too fierce! But now, there was really no other way but to try anything.
