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

After noon, the exiled group still hadn't received any news about being allowed to go out and make purchases. Many of them became anxious and went to Sun Wuyin's room to plead for mercy.

Wang was unsure about going alone, since several groups of people had already come and gone. Even if she went, it would be in vain. So she knocked on Song Qingqian's door and called her out.

He then persuaded several women to go to Sun Wuyin's room. Of course, Sun Wuyin gave them the same excuse: no way!

If you can't go out and lose several people, then you don't even need to go to barbarian lands to lose all your people. What's the point of exiling them?

After pondering for a moment, Song Qingqian solemnly said, "Sir, I have a way to cure your face. How about this exchange?"

Sun Wuyin touched the half of his face that was tightly wrapped up, and his heart suddenly began to stir. Could it really recover? Many doctors had said they were powerless to help.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Wuyin did not answer first, but instead asked again:

"Do you have any way to cure my eyes?"

"Is the eyeball still there?"

Sun Wuyin shook his head and completely destroyed it.

Song Qingqian sighed: "Then there's nothing I can do, I definitely won't be able to see it!"

"Sir, even a god descending to earth couldn't cure your eyes, let alone a mere mortal like me."

Sun Wuyin thought Song Qingqian was deliberately being aloof and refusing to treat him, so he snorted and said:

"If you can't cure it, what are you talking about? Get out! Nobody's leaving without my orders!"

"Young Lady Lu, this..."

Wang was getting anxious. If they couldn't get out, she and her husband would have to push the carriage, which they couldn't handle!

Song Qingqian patted her reassuringly and smiled faintly at Sun Wuyin:

"Since Your Excellency has made up your mind, we have nothing more to say. We will not disturb Your Excellency any longer!"

Seeing Song Qingqian leave, the Wang family and the others dared not linger and hurriedly chased after her.

Seeing the group looking listless, Song Qingqian smiled reassuringly and said:

"Don't worry, everyone. Go back and wait. Sun Wuyin will agree. If we can't get out today, we definitely can tomorrow!"

"Why?"

Wang asked, puzzled, "Sun Wuyin refused so firmly just now, wouldn't he contradict himself?"

Song Qingqian's eyes flickered, and she chuckled softly, "Sun Wuyin is such a person who values ​​his reputation. Do you think he wouldn't seize the opportunity? Besides, the wound will itch terribly at night, and he might not be able to bear it."

"Well, I feel much more at ease knowing that you said that!"

Wang smiled broadly and called her sisters to go home.

After Song Qingqian returned to her room, she saw Bai Shi breastfeeding her child on the bed behind the screen.

The old lady smiled and said in a low voice, "Your sister-in-law has quite a lot of breast milk, so Niannian won't go hungry. It's all thanks to your medicine."

"As long as the adults and children don't suffer, that's good. Xiao Luo will bring over some soybean and pig's trotter soup later, so give your sister-in-law some to nourish her."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Where did Chuan'er go? I didn't see him at noon."

"Not in the room?"

"No, I just went to your room and it was empty."

The old lady sighed. She had to turn around and check on these children every now and then, for fear that something might go wrong.

If they don't stay at the inn, she'll feel at ease knowing they're all under her watchful eye; but if they don't stay together, she'll worry even more.

"He's probably in Beichu. Mother-in-law, don't worry, he'll take good care of himself."

Song Qingqian smiled and comforted her.

“I checked Bei Chu’s place too, and there’s nothing there! I’m worried about his injuries; I don’t know how serious they are.”

The old lady explained helplessly, "I know he's definitely hiding something from me, but he hasn't fully recovered yet. What if something unexpected happens to him..."

"I…"

The old lady's eyes reddened as she spoke, and her voice choked with emotion, "The Imperial Concubine was murdered for no reason today. I'm worried about her. That old emperor is such a heartless person."

As Song Qingqian comforted her, a question arose in her mind: Did she know about the Eighth Prince beforehand? Who secretly told her?

“Mother-in-law, my husband will be fine with Bei Chu and the others protecting him. Don’t worry. Besides, he knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Last night she gave Lu Jingchuan a bottle of medicine that could change his skin color; presumably, the Eighth Prince received it and was able to avoid trouble.

"Third son's wife, I beg you, please take good care of him. He listens to you, but sometimes he doesn't take what this old woman says seriously. Health is the most important thing; everything else... is just fluff!"

Having experienced so much, the old lady has come to understand that power and status are all illusory things; only the safety of her children is what truly matters.

Song Qingqian nodded seriously: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll find a chance to have a good talk with him!"

The old lady stroked Song Qingqian's hand with satisfaction, then suddenly remembered something and pulled Song Qingqian to a soft couch on the side.

She took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, carefully unfolded it, and handed it to Song Qingqian, saying happily:

"When Chuan'er was born, your father accidentally obtained a very rare piece of Hetian yellow jade from the border, which he originally intended to present to the old emperor."

But I had my own selfish reasons. I thought that even if I gave such a precious thing to the old emperor, he might not even glance at it. Besides, he already had a concubine, so it would be better to keep the Hetian jade and make it into bracelets for his three wives.

Your sister-in-law's things were probably taken away, and your mother-in-law was too embarrassed to ask. I kept your second brother's and Chuan'er's things. When I heard that the house was going to be searched, I gave them all to Chuan'er.

I don't know where he hid it to avoid the search, but now that you're married, you've finally settled down.

Your mother-in-law originally planned to give it to you after you had children, but given the current situation, I'm sure you're not in a hurry to have children.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter when I get it, just in case I don't make it through..."

“Mother-in-law, you are in good health and will definitely live to be a hundred years old. Don’t be so pessimistic.”

Song Qingqian pushed the jade bracelet towards her. Although she was genuinely touched, she couldn't accept something that didn't belong to her, so she spoke tactfully:

“Mother-in-law, since this gift is so valuable, wouldn't it be more thoughtful to give it to him after we have children? There's no rush, and besides, my relationship with my husband isn't what you all think…”

Before Song Qingqian could finish speaking, she heard Lu Jingchuan knock on the door, say something, and then push the door open and come in.

"Chuan'er, you're back? Your mother and wife were just talking about you. How are your injuries?"

After the old lady finished speaking happily, she casually stuffed the bracelet into Song Qingqian's hand and got up to greet Lu Jingchuan.

Song Qingqian frowned, looking at the jade bracelet in her hand with some embarrassment. Could it really be handled like this? Those who knew it were indeed priceless, but those who didn't would think it was some hot potato.

Besides, she hasn't agreed yet. What if Lu Jingchuan marries someone else in the future? Wouldn't the old lady have lost out on this bracelet?

She gave Lu Jingchuan a meaningful look, but Lu Jingchuan ignored it and went straight to chat with the old lady.

Helpless, Song Qingqian could only put the bracelet away, deciding to return it to Lu Jingchuan later when she had more time.
