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

"That's strange!"

Song Qingqian suddenly remembered that Song Weilan had gone to see Sun Wuyin during the day. Could it be that the two had reached some kind of secret agreement?

"Forget it, whatever she does, I'll just mind my own business!"

Lu Xieyue nodded and continued in a low voice, "Third sister-in-law, do you think Sun Wuyin will allow the two of them to go out together? I also want to go out for a walk."

"Probably not. Maybe next time. Besides, look at your second brother. He's been staring at you longingly for ages. His mind is probably already elsewhere."

As Song Qingqian spoke, she pointed to Lu Yunqi, who was peeking inside from a distance. She knew that Lu Yunqi wasn't the only one eager to get out…

Lu Xieyue sighed: "Alright, I was just saying it offhand, I know it can't be done."

Song Qingqian smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely happen. I'll definitely take you out when I have the chance."

"Really? Then it's a deal, Third Sister-in-law!"

Lu Xieyue exclaimed in surprise.

Song Qingqian smiled indulgently and nodded in promise: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"

"Third sister-in-law, I knew you were the best!"

Lu Xieyue excitedly grabbed her arm and affectionately went to find Wang Shi to squeeze in.

When Wang saw the two of them approaching, she glanced at Song Qingqian, and her eyes instantly lit up.

Her gaze was too direct, and Song Qingqian's heart skipped a beat. She unconsciously pulled her collar up even higher.

Wang chuckled and said, "We've all been through this before, don't take it to heart, I understand."

"Miss Lu, we've started letting people out. Today, for the first time ever, two people from each special family can go out. Who of you will go out?"

"I...I'll go!"

Lu Yunqi leaned over and eagerly raised his hand. He had finally managed to get two people out, and now it should be his turn, right?

Song Qingqian chuckled softly, unusually not refuting: "Go ask your mother-in-law. If she agrees, then you can come out with me!"

"Got it!"

Lu Yunqi ran off in a flurry, and Madam Wang said with some regret:

"General Lu definitely can't get out. Sun Wuyin is watching him every day, afraid he'll escape!"

Song Qingqian nodded: "So I didn't think about letting him go out. It's fine for him to stay at the post station. There are many people here, so if something happens, we can look out for each other."

"Yes, so after thinking it over, I decided to let my husband go out alone. Anyway, I made a list of everything he needs, so he can just buy whatever he needs."

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yunqi arrived in his carriage. Lu Xieyue looked at his worthless grin and speechlessly remarked:

"Second brother is really impatient!"

Song Qingqian smiled and nodded, instructing, "Who says otherwise? I'm leaving now. You should go back with your aunt. Don't wander off; it's not safe outside!"

Madam Wang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lu, I guarantee I'll send the Third Miss back safely."

"Auntie, it's only a few steps. I can go back by myself. You don't need to help me."

Lu Xieyue explained with a smile.

Wang shook her head: "That won't do. Don't be fooled by the respectable appearance of the people here. Who knows how filthy they are inside? It's best to be careful!"

"You're a bit better off. Your second daughter seems to be kind-hearted and easy to bully. You'll have to talk to her when you get back. When you're exiled, you have to be tough when necessary, so that others won't dare to bully you."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Auntie!"

The two returned happily. As Lu Xieyue passed through the corridor, she saw Lu Jingchuan standing there, gazing absently in the direction the carriage had left. Puzzled, she asked:

"Third Brother, Second Brother and Third Sister-in-law have already left. What are you doing standing here? Do you want to leave too? Or did you not have time to see your sister-in-law off?"

"I'm just a little worried. If you're not in a hurry, go back to your room and stay there. Don't wander around. It's not safe outside."

Lu Jingchuan glanced at her and said, "This third sister is too curious. She wants to go and see everything. She's also the one I can't trust the most."

"understood."

Lu Xieyue pouted unhappily and pushed open the door to the old lady's room.

Lu Jingchuan sighed. He hadn't seen Song Qingqian when he woke up that morning. For some reason, he felt worried and guilty. He had indeed gone too far last night…

Lu Yunqi drove his carriage behind the soldiers, feeling incredibly relaxed and happy.

Song Qingqian smiled faintly. This second son of the Lu family seemed to have been holding back for far too long, so she raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Lu Yunqi, do you have a shopping list? What do you want to buy? Don't worry, I'll pay today. You can buy whatever you want."

"Wow, so you're really rich and powerful? Then I won't hold back."

"You're welcome!"

Lu Yunqi seemed to be in a really good mood, as he was even joking with Song Qingqian.

"Lu Yunqi, have you really let go?"

Song Qingqian asked curiously, "I've heard about what happened to Yu Ke'er last night. How should I put it? I don't feel schadenfreude, but I feel mostly sorry for women in this era."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi's handsome brows furrowed deeply, and he scoffed coldly:

"I'm in a good mood today, so don't mention her!"

The treasure he had always cherished and couldn't bear to hurt had grown into a weed that could be bullied by everyone. He would never be so foolish again.

Song Qingqian nodded with a faint smile: "Alright, it's good that you've let it go. There are countless women in the world, and there will definitely be one you fall in love with. But before you like someone in the future, you must understand them clearly, so you don't get deceived again!"

"Do I look that stupid? That easy to fool?"

Lu Yunqi asked again, speechless.

After pretending to ponder for a moment, Song Qingqian nodded: "It's pretty silly to just stare at it like that!"

"Hello, you're so smart! It's suffocating to even talk to you for one more word!"

Lu Yunqi was speechless; she had ruined his perfectly good mood.

Song Qingqian suppressed a laugh as she watched him get the short end of the stick, and her mood instantly brightened. Lu Yunqi needed to be put down from time to time, otherwise his arrogant tail would be wagging in the air.

Only by calming down can one weigh the pros and cons and remain composed in the face of adversity.

Sure enough, once they were out on the street, Lu Yunqi was like a wild horse, curious about everything. He wanted to buy this for Zhan'er, that for Xiao Yu'er, and this hairpin for his two younger sisters…

Lu Yunqi was able to take care of almost everyone in the Lu family. It was the first time Song Qingqian had ever realized that a man could be so thoughtful and considerate.

Just as Song Qingqian was getting tired of taking out money, the two of them were suddenly caught up in a fight.

The two horses, startled, galloped forward. Lu Yunqi glanced at the carriage, then at Song Qingqian, and finally gritted his teeth, moving to Song Qingqian's side. He whispered a reminder:

"This...this isn't coming for us. It's obvious these people are chasing the brother and sister. Let's not get involved..."

Before he could finish speaking, a long sword came straight at his shoulder, but Song Qingqian quickly blocked it with her dagger.

"We...we were just passersby! Are you blind? How can you kill innocent people in broad daylight?"

Song Qingqian tossed the dagger to him, speechless, and said, "Stop babbling, or we'll all be dead!"
