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

Song Qingqian nodded, feigning doubt, and said, "Yes, I bought them all when I was in Youcheng."

"Sir, haven't you bought anything during all this time you've been gone?"

Xiao Zhuozi sighed. "That's easy for you to say. They're all out looking after exiles; where would they get the money to buy supplies?"

Moreover, the supplies for the exiled troops were all allocated by the imperial court, so they didn't have to spend their own money, unless someone wanted to get special treatment.

"Miss Lu, could you sell me a lotus leaf chicken? It's raining today, and besides steamed buns, there's really nothing else to eat."

Sun Wuyin still resented him for the poisonous snake incident, so Xiao Zhuozi naturally wanted to take this opportunity to show off. Moreover, he could also see that Sun Wuyin was very interested in the chicken.

"Alright, sir, let's go together. I'll find you the biggest one."

As Song Qingqian spoke, she stood up, gave Lu Jingchuan a wink, and pulled him up. Just as she was about to leave, Sun Wuyin called out to her.

Song Qingqian smiled and instructed Sun Wuyin, "Sir, you and Doctor Hu will wait a while. This official and I will go back for a moment, and I will come back later if you need me."

"Go back quickly!"

Sun Wuyin snorted coldly through his nostrils, thinking to himself that he definitely wouldn't have compromised if he hadn't been so hungry.

"You can rest assured, sir!"

Song Qingqian slipped away with Lu Jingchuan's help, having just been worried about not having an excuse to leave, and now Xiao Zhuozi had given her a way out.

Therefore, once people have a better option, they will inevitably make selective compromises.

"Miss Lu, how much did you buy this lotus leaf chicken?"

Xiao Zhuozi became interested and asked further, "Sun Wuyin is really too difficult to please. He won't eat anything too vegetarian, and he won't even drink porridge. He wants to eat meat every meal. But this is exile. Where can you eat whatever you want?"

"I bought it for 600 coins, sir, just give it to me at the original price!"

"That!"

Xiao Zhuozi chuckled, picked up the lotus leaf chicken, and was about to leave when he saw that Song Qingqian showed no sign of leaving. He frowned and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I'll be there later, no rush."

As Song Qingqian spoke, she waved her hand at him, and Xiao Zhuozi's heart skipped a beat, his face turning ugly.

Song Qingqian immediately added, "Sir, I just spoke with the magistrate and I will definitely be there later. Have you forgotten?"

Helpless, Xiao Zhuozi could only nod and turn to leave. Right now, eating was the most important thing, and everything else could come second.

Just then, a soldier shouted, "It's terrible! The flood is coming! You all need to escape!"

"Go and wait in the carriage."

After finishing her sentence, Song Qingqian led Dahuang and ran in the direction the soldiers pointed.

"Song Qingqian".

Lu Jingchuan reached out anxiously but missed her. Just as he was about to chase after her, Lu Yunqi stopped him and quickly spoke:

"Chuan'er, you stay here to take care of Mother, I'm going to go after my younger brother and sister-in-law!"

Lu Jingchuan anxiously instructed, "Whatever you do, make sure nothing happens to her!"

Lu Yunqi nodded and quickly gave chase, but he was stopped by soldiers after only a few steps. Zhang He shouted:

"go back!"

"In this short time, you should move your carriage to another location quickly, otherwise the flood will surely sweep you away."

"If Song Qingqian can go, why can't I!"

Lu Yunqi gritted his teeth and spoke angrily.

"We can't control her suicidal tendencies, but you can't go!"

There were wolfhounds beside Song Qingqian. He tried to stop them, but the wolfhounds were so ferocious that he didn't have time. Besides, he wished Song Qingqian would die sooner.

The deaths of the female attendants were not a great loss, after all, they were just there for show, and even if the list were submitted to higher authorities, they would not be given a second glance.

Lu Yunqi clenched his fists, about to go up and punch Zhang He, but was restrained by the soldiers and kicked twice in the stomach.

"What? Are you still not convinced?"

Zhang He sneered and leaned close to his ear, continuing to provoke him: "I've already tasted your sweetheart's mother, she's nothing special. I just wonder what her daughter is like when she serves people, whether she's as slutty as her mother..."

Lu Yunqi's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Zhang He. What was he saying...?

He quickly changed his tune: "Whether she serves someone or dies, it's none of my business. I'm not going to chase after Song Qingqian anymore. Let me leave!"

"You really don't care?"

Zhang He looked at him suspiciously, but seeing that Lu Yunqi remained expressionless, he raised his hand to signal the soldiers to release Lu Yunqi.

Lu Yunqi moved with incredible speed, punching Zhang He in the face and quickly grabbing his neck.

The accident happened so fast that many people didn't have time to react. They only saw Lu Yunqi, burning with anger, threatening:

"Get out of the way, I'm going to chase after Song Qingqian, or I'll strangle him."

Seeing that he was acting like a madman, Zhang He gritted his teeth and said, "Get out! If you insist on going to your death, I won't stop you!"

Seeing the soldiers clear the area, Lu Yunqi clutched his stomach and quickly ran away.

As Song Qingqian and Dahuang chased after them, they heard the roaring flood rushing towards them.

In the blink of an eye, an unstoppable force rushed towards Song Qingqian, and she quickly used her mind to collect all the floodwaters into her space.

Big Yellow charged ahead and got drenched. It barked a few times, and Song Qingqian smiled at its unwilling look, reminding it:

"Silly dog, this is a mountain and water area, where are there any fish? Are you starving?"

"To treat you, I'll take you to a buffet."

After muttering to herself, Song Qingqian took Dahuang into the space. When Dahuang saw the plump fish in the river, its eyes widened. Without thinking, it plunged in to enjoy the delicious food.

The newly collected mountain and water resources have converged to form a natural lake. Apart from the water being a bit murky, there is nothing unusual about it.

The boundless grassland was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the various colors blended together to create a beautiful scene.

Song Qingqian casually picked a flower. If she remembered correctly, this should be a dandelion. It seems there are so many little surprises on this lawn.

Just then, a plump rabbit hopped to her feet. Song Qingqian reached out and stroked it a couple of times; it felt really nice.

"You're so well-behaved, I can't bear to eat you!"

Whisper, whisper!

The Crimson Flame Horse neighed excitedly a few times, then galloped towards her, circling around her.

Song Qingqian stroked the fur on its neck and smiled happily.

"Don't worry, I'll always remember you."

"It's mainly because you're too outstanding; too many people are eyeing you. But you'll definitely have opportunities in the future!"

After riding her fiery steed around for a while, Song Qingqian returned to her magnificent little nest.

After taking a nice hot bath, Song Qingqian lay on the bed for a short rest.

Not long after, the notification sound from the Pindou system rang out, and Song Qingqian quickly clicked to browse it.

Immediately, she jumped out of bed excitedly. This ghost messenger had actually launched various artificial intelligence services on the system.

Seeing that she could place an order to cook, Song Qingqian immediately became excited. Her warehouse full of ingredients finally had a purpose.
