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

"Since you cherish your hair so much, I'll just give you an even better one!"

After finishing her sentence, Song Qingqian took out a pair of scissors from her spatial storage and snip-snip. In a short while, Song Weilan's hair looked like it had been chewed by a dog, a truly pitiful sight.

Immediately afterwards, Song Qingqian began to vigorously manipulate her cheeks...

Ha ha…

In the blink of an eye, Song Qingqian burst into laughter at her masterpiece.

Song Weilan's face was covered with dense black marks. Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that it was a clown face drawn with an oil-based pen. Under the current conditions, it would take at least ten days to half a month to wash it off.

After finally taking all the gold, silver, and valuables from her room, Song Qingqian left satisfied.

This amount of retaliation is certainly not enough. After all, the Song family is also going to suffer a great deal. Evil people will be punished by evil people.

What was once a magnificent and dazzling mansion of marquises has been reduced to nothing but devastation and lifeless wailing overnight.

Before the imperial edict even arrived, the servants and maids had already gone on strike, each harboring their own secrets. The various branches of the Lu family also began frantically looting the mansion, fearing that they would be implicated in the confiscation of their property.

After changing into a lighter dress in her room, Song Qingqian turned around and went to the old lady's courtyard.

Even from a distance, several families were making a ruckus over dividing the family property. Song Qingqian smiled coldly. Although it was true that when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, this was still a bit too hasty.

The women all looked at her with disdain when she entered, and then glared resentfully at their husbands and sons.

No wonder the third brother insisted on keeping her yesterday; it turns out that the young general with such illustrious military achievements is also such a lecherous fellow…

Song Qingqian walked gracefully past the crowd, her light blue butterfly dress appearing even more fresh and refined in the morning light.

Her hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin, and her face was free of any makeup, which made her fair complexion stand out even more for her youthful innocence and tranquility.

Some people couldn't help but frown deeply. How could such a pure and refined young girl have been so fierce yesterday? They must have been mistaken...

Even Lu Yunqi, who had been beaten yesterday, was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. If he had known that the Song family would marry such a beauty, why would he have run away from the marriage?

No no no…

Lu Yunqi quickly discarded his unrealistic ideas. He only liked Ke'er; all other women were just common things.

Moreover, Song Qingqian only appears pure and delicate on the surface; she can be ruthless when she hits someone, and his abdomen is still aching slightly.

Thinking back to the warning look in her eyes, Lu Yunqi suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine. Damn it…

"Daughter-in-law greets mother-in-law. I am late today, please forgive me."

Song Qingqian bowed respectfully. On the first day of their marriage, tea should have been served, but she couldn't find her maid, and given the current situation, she figured no one was in the mood, so she decided to skip it if possible.

"Get up quickly, it's not that you're late, it's that they arrived too early."

The old lady sighed repeatedly, her voice hoarse, and Song Qingqian could barely make out what she was saying.

Overnight, the old lady seemed to have aged more than ten years; her once jet-black hair had instantly turned into strands of silver.

His face was sallow with sunken eyes, his entire forehead was covered in purplish-blue marks, and wrinkles covered his cheeks, making him look completely bloodless.

Song Qingqian glanced back and saw that only Bai Shi and the two children were not there; the rest of the Lu family members were all present.

"Mother-in-law, what are they doing?"

Song Qingqian asked a question she already knew the answer to.

The old matriarch sighed, "What else can we do? If we want to divide the family property, we're afraid they'll be implicated..."

"What does your mother-in-law think? Do you want to divide it?"

Lu Yunqi was indignant and immediately rebuked, "What do you mean? You think you can take charge of the household just because you've married into this family? What good will it do you if we split up? Besides, we're family, how can we just separate like that?"

Song Qingqian said frankly, "I didn't want to be the head of this family, but I know that relatives who can share the good times but not the bad times are useless to keep even if you force them to stay!"

"Besides, you are doing this for everyone's good, but they don't think so. If they wanted to share the hardships with their mother-in-law, they wouldn't be here, much less use the Lu family's property without permission."

Actually, Song Qingqian wanted to take everything, but when she went to the storeroom, the valuables had already been moved away. She sighed, smiled, and chose to leave.

Fine, anyway, no one can take these things with them when they're going to confiscate them. It'll be easier for her to collect them all at once once all the officers and soldiers have gathered.

"What? You've touched the things in the storeroom?"

Lu Yunqi was astonished. He looked at the houses in disbelief and asked, "No, why?"

Lu the eldest snorted and said, "The ones who are wrong are the eldest and the third. What does it have to do with us? We have families to support. We can't be dragged down."

"Sister-in-law, we're so sorry, we really have no other choice. Why don't you have some mercy and sign this severance agreement? We don't want to be beheaded!"

"Yes... Sister-in-law, please be kind this once for the sake of our family."

"Third Sister-in-law, Third Brother is the most considerate of us brothers. If he were still alive, he would never bear to see us suffer..."

……

Song Qingqian was furious at their shamelessness. She pushed away the people surrounding the old lady and angrily shouted:

"You're supposed to be elders, how can you talk like that? In the past few years of the Lu family's glory, haven't you all shamelessly come to acknowledge our kinship? Now that the third branch has suffered a setback, you're so eager to sever ties? Let me tell you, no way. We live together, we die together."

“Who do you think you are, you little brat? We’re discussing this with the old lady, what right do you have to interfere? To put it nicely, you’re Jingchuan’s wife, but to put it bluntly, you’re not even a second wife.”

Boss Lu was humiliated and said angrily.

"What I am is none of your business! But if you want to sever this relationship today, you'd better show some attitude. Beg to come in the first place, and beg to leave the second. Otherwise, we'll all die together. Even as ghosts, we'll have company. We can still bicker and fight in the afterlife. Wouldn't that be great?"

"You...you're shameless! This is insubordination...you don't understand rules, you have no manners..."

Old Master Lu trembled violently, almost piling up all the words he could think of.

Song Qingqian snorted coldly: "Insubordination? What kind of elder are you? I would be ashamed to have an elder like you."

"you…"

Boss Song raised his hand to hit Song Qingqian, but she pierced his heart and lungs with three silver needles first, causing him to collapse to the ground and convulse uncontrollably.

"You shameless hussy, how dare you frame my master! Help! Beat this shameless woman to death!"

As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law, Qian, finished speaking, the old matriarch rebuked her:

"Let's see who dares!"

"She is my Lu family's lawfully wedded wife, Chuan'er's wife. Anyone who dares to touch her is slapping Chuan'er in the face!"

The old lady had also realized that she was now old and her eldest daughter-in-law, Wenwan, was pregnant; she could no longer support the family.

The second daughter... well, her two daughters are not yet of marriageable age, she needs a strong-willed daughter-in-law to keep her grounded. It seems that Chuan'er's judgment in people is beyond reproach.
