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

"Mrs. Lu, are you busy?"

Huo Chong walked over with a bag of mushrooms in his arms, smiling, and explained:

"I just heard from Aunt Wang that these mushrooms can be sold for money after being dried. My mother asked me to come and ask if there are any unusable ones among the ones we've picked. If they're unusable, then we won't bother with it."

Song Qingqian glanced back at the Huo family. At that moment, Old Madam Huo was holding her grandson and talking to him. The eldest son of the Huo family was holding his daughter and adding fuel to the fire. Huo Shi was busy cooking for the family.

It seems that even if we sell it for money, it won't reach the Huo family. Oh well, everyone has their own fate!

Song Qingqian smiled and picked out a few items from Huo Chong's package.

"These few are poisonous and cannot be used, the others are fine."

"Okay, thank you!"

Huo Chong smiled and continued, "Young Madam, is there still rice from yesterday? I'd like to buy some."

"No, the lucky bags were taken by the soldiers and we couldn't get them back. I'm helpless about it."

Song Qingqian said regretfully that she had just checked the Pindou system and it was still out of service, so it seemed that it wouldn't be back up anytime soon.

"OK then!"

Huo Chong was about to leave with regret when Song Qingqian called her back.

Then Song Qingqian gave him a large portion of the leftover rice they had finished eating, and said with a faint smile:

"If you don't mind, you can buy ours too!"

"I don't mind at all, having this is already very good!"

Huo Chong chuckled, took the money, and stuffed it into Song Qingqian's hand.

Song Qingqian pressed further, "Did your mother send you to buy this?"

Huo Chong scratched his head sheepishly and explained, "It's not really. I just felt sorry for the two kids and thought that even if the adults were wronged, the kids shouldn't be wronged, so I bought them a portion. Besides, we had a better meal yesterday, so it can last for a while."

Song Qingqian nodded in agreement: "Adults can manage, but your Wanwan is still too young and needs special care."

"I think so!"

Huo Chong waved and left.

Suddenly, a commotion arose among the exiled crowd. Several people fainted, foaming at the mouth and convulsing uncontrollably. Others began to hallucinate, becoming delirious, cursing and shouting for war...

Lu Lanyue exclaimed in alarm, "Third Sister-in-law, could they... could they have eaten some poisonous mushrooms and gotten poisoned?"

Song Qingqian nodded: "Never mind them, let's eat! Besides, Doctor Hu is here, everything will be fine."

"it is good!"

They verbally agreed, but their eyes remained fixed on the exiled crowd; they realized how terrifying poisoning was.

At this moment, Lu Laosi's wife, Madam Xu, was urged by the old man to come over.

Seeing the Lu family eating, Xu felt even more awkward, unsure whether to leave or stay.

After struggling with her thoughts for a long time, she finally took out two bird eggs from her bosom and explained:

“Jingchuan’s wife, we just found these two bird eggs in the woods. Since you have two children, we brought them over so they could have a taste. It’s a way for our fourth branch to express our gratitude to you.”

"Thank you for not holding a grudge against us because of the family division, and for treating us all the same by buying us meals..."

Xu's words were somewhat incoherent, then she wiped away her tears and continued speaking to Lu Jingchuan:

"It's all our fault for being blind and listening to the eldest brother's instigation. To be honest, we did have our own selfish motives back then; we were also afraid..."

After weeping for a while, seeing that Song Qingqian remained unmoved, Xu knelt down before the old lady with a thud and pleaded:

"Third Sister-in-law, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us. We will never be so foolish again."

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Get up!"

The old lady hurriedly went to help Xu Shi up, and Xu Shi sobbed, "Third sister-in-law, I won't get up until you forgive me."

The old lady sighed, "What's there to forgive or not forgive? Aren't we doing just fine as we are now? Why do we have to talk about these things?"

As Xu knelt down, everyone rose from their small stools. Lu Xieyue leaned close to Song Qingqian and whispered a complaint:

"I hate it when she cries at the drop of a hat. What's the point of pretending to be weak? They were clearly just panicked because Lu Haofeng was poisoned. Why didn't they try to get on her side earlier?"

As soon as Lu Xieyue finished speaking, she noticed Lu Jingchuan staring at her. She glared back at her third brother and continued:

"Third sister-in-law, you can see that Mother is going to soften again. How boring!"

Lu Jingchuan's lips twitched. This little girl had been following Song Qingqian for a few days and didn't even respect him anymore. He just wanted her to keep her voice down. Was she really afraid that others wouldn't hear her if she spoke so loudly?

"Since you're annoyed, stop looking! Come on! I'll take you to pick wild apricots!"

After Song Qingqian finished speaking, she hooked her arm around her shoulder, and the two swaggered away, leaving the others present even more bewildered.

The old lady's face darkened even further. What... what should she do?

"Third sister-in-law..."

Madam Xu burst into tears and tightly embraced the Old Madam. Madam Bai tried to pull her away, but before she could act, Lu Yunqi simply stepped past her, pulled Madam Xu aside, and coldly warned:

"We forgive you, you can leave now! Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary."

"And these two bird eggs of yours, take them both. We appreciate your kindness, but we don't need the gifts. Zhan'er and Yu'er don't like eating bird eggs."

"Yes, I don't like eating bird eggs!"

Zhan'er immediately echoed.

"I...Yu'er doesn't like it either, but Third Aunt has everything!"

Mrs. Bai awkwardly went up and covered her daughter's mouth; this little mouth of hers really wasn't afraid of causing trouble.

"Third sister-in-law..."

The old lady sighed and waved her hand: "You may leave. Since we've severed ties, let's treat each other like strangers. There's no point in maintaining any kinship ties."

Seeing the resolute attitude of the group, Xu cursed Song Qingqian in her heart a hundred times over. They were about to succeed, but Song Qingqian had pulled this stunt. It was really too much.

And that girl Xieyue, she's never been a good person since she was little, yet she still has the nerve to look down on them.

She then turned to look at Lu Jingchuan pleadingly; in this family, Lu Jingchuan was the only one with any human touch.

"Jingchuan, we really regret it. We can promise that we will never associate with the other companies again. Is that alright?"

"Jingchuan..."

Lu Jingchuan sighed and said bluntly, "Fourth Aunt, it's none of our business who you choose to befriend or sever ties with."

“My wife’s opinion is my opinion. As long as you don’t have any intention to harm others, I can treat you the same as they do.”

"Fourth Aunt, please go back!"

"Jingchuan..."

Xu wanted to try again, but Lu Jingchuan had already turned his head away, so she could only leave unwillingly.

"Sister-in-law, Fourth Aunt has passed away!"

Lu Xieyue turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "It seems we haven't reached an agreement."

Song Qingqian tapped her brow with her finger and smiled meaningfully:

"We're all gone. What will your mother think? It would be strange if she agreed!"

"why?"

"You're still too young. You'll understand in time!"

Song Qingqian's deep eyes looked into the distance. The old lady was no longer the same as before. She was the one who needed to be taken care of on the road to exile. How could she cause trouble for everyone for the sake of her own compassion?

"I used to think they were honest and didn't do anything wrong, but I didn't expect it was all a deliberate disguise. It seems that being honest on the surface doesn't necessarily mean being honest at heart."

I've learned my lesson. You should know this too, don't be fooled by some people's temporary pretense.

Song Qingqian explained in a low voice that if the Xu family hadn't come and made this scene, she would have really thought that they were just afraid of death back then. Now it seems that they are truly a bunch of snakes and rats with no hope of cure.

Lu Xieyue nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I'll remember that, Third Sister-in-law!"
