The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

The first wife is full of joy, but the second wife is not at peace!

Cai took the package and found that her parents' family sent dry food, while the second aunt's family sent delicious dried meat and meat jerky. She felt unbalanced and said sarcastically, "The second aunt is so lucky. She was able to marry into the Mu family as a concubine and enjoy wealth and honor. Now that she is in trouble, her family still cares about her. But the dry food is limited. It's better to leave the delicious meat jerky for men."

After saying that, she ate the sweet potatoes herself and gave the dried meat to Mu Yiguo, her son and her grandson.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

When the house was searched, the second concubine followed the example of the first wife and stuffed gold jewelry into her and her daughter's hair. However, she knew that she could not act rashly at this time. After all, she was now a commoner and her daughter was also a concubine. Their future fate depended on the head of the household.

For the first meal, everyone hurriedly finished it on the roadside. No one had any extra thoughts and no one dared to escape, because now they and their families were demoted to commoners and exiled. If someone escaped, the rest of the family would be implicated, and the person who escaped would also become a criminal and be wanted by the whole city.

While everyone was not paying attention, Fu Yunxi secretly used a water bag to collect some spring water from the space. After drinking a sip, she instantly felt that her physical fatigue had subsided a lot. She was very surprised. It seemed that the spring water in the space was indeed extraordinary.

She hurriedly took all the water bags, and using the bag as a cover, replaced the water with spring water in the space, and then gave it to everyone to drink.

Mu Yibai took it and took a sip, and immediately found that the water was different. The water that the nanny and the officials had brought before was well water, but this water tasted sweet and made him feel comfortable all over after drinking it. He couldn't help but think of what Fu Yunxi said before that the space absorbed all the jade antiques to upgrade. At that time, he had questioned her words, but now he thought that this might be true. After all, it was not surprising that magic weapons like space existed.

After they had rested for less than a quarter of an hour, the leading officer called everyone up: "Hurry up and get to the next woods before dark, otherwise we'll be sleeping in the wild without even a shelter." Everyone complained. It had only been such a short time since they rested, but their soles were still swollen.

After the people in the big house drank the spiritual spring water in Fu Yunxi's space, they swept away their morning fatigue and caught up with the exiled team.

In the afternoon, Lin still felt a little bit of sinking in her abdomen. But after drinking her brother-in-law's water, she no longer had that feeling and instead felt more energetic.

After walking for about two hours, the leading officer let everyone rest for a quarter of an hour. Everyone was already sweating and exhausted under the scorching sun, but under the whip of the officer, they had to force themselves to move forward.

Fu Yunxi sat on the side of the road, picked up two willow twigs and a dead branch, and wanted to weave a hat to block the sun. However, her skills were not good enough, and after weaving for a long time, there was only an outline. She had to give up and planned to take out a straw hat from the space and modify it.

Aunt Jiang saw this and stepped forward, picked up a dry branch and said, "Weaving bamboo hats is a technical job. Many people have studied for three to five years but still cannot get the hang of it. My uncle's family is in the weaving business, so I know a thing or two." After she finished speaking, she made the branch in her hand take shape of a bamboo hat in just five moves. It's not like she's just a superficial learner.

Fu Yunxi admired and praised: "Auntie, your craftsmanship is amazing! I feel that the sun is too strong, and I want to weave a hat to block some of the sun and avoid heat stroke."

Mrs. Luo laughed and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. Auntie's cooking skills are very good! If she hadn't married into the Mu Mansion with me, she would be in great trouble now!"

Aunt Jiang's biological mother was Luo's nanny. She grew up with Luo. Although they were master and servant, they also had a close relationship. In the Mu family for many years, she served Mu Aiguo and Luo wholeheartedly, and taught the illegitimate sons Mu Yiheng and Mu Linxue well. Even her daughter-in-law Liu was a decent person.

"Then I'll take my sisters to pick up more branches and wear them to protect the sun after weaving them." Fu Yunxi took Jiaojiao and Lin Xue to pick up branches nearby, but they didn't walk too far. The two little girls' faces were red from the sun.

When other families saw the eldest wife of the Mu family weaving hats, they also wanted to imitate her. However, when they got the same branches, they could not weave anything neat and beautiful. They could only comfort themselves that it was enough as long as it could provide shade.

Everyone finally made it to the evening and collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion.

Fu Yunxi and Mu Yibai looked at the bare trees around them and the mountains in the distance with only a few green leaves. They couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. The cold winter had just passed, and if the trees didn't bear fruit and the grass didn't grow, would the animals in the mountains come out to look for food?

The official led everyone to come and get dinner, and said that steamed corn bread was free, but other pastries and steamed buns would be charged extra, even the water bag cost five taels of silver.

There were fewer people buying pastries at noon, so the price dropped at night. After all, the food could not be stored for long and could be replenished in the next town. However, the price of water bags doubled. After all, there were no streams on the road and water bags were consumable items.

Mu Yiheng brought back twelve steamed buns just like he did at noon, but did not buy any food or water.

The other families were all suffering and complaining a lot!

However, Fu Yunxi secretly prepared a sumptuous dinner for the Mu family's main house. Because they were stationed there, everyone lived in relatively scattered places, so Fu Yunxi and Mu Yibai took them to a secluded place to sit.

Fu Yunxi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she took out some hot food, including taro cake, braised chicken, fried shrimp with eggs, fish with ginger and scallions, and wine.

Jiang and the others looked at them and wondered if these were all the dishes from yesterday's wedding banquet. How could there be hot meals in this wilderness? Luo looked at Mu Yibai with a puzzled look. How many more surprises did her daughter-in-law have for her?

Mu Yibai whispered, "Everyone, eat quickly. Don't ask or say anything else. We still have things to do after eating."

When everyone saw that Mu Yibai did not explain and lowered his voice, they immediately understood that this was the secret of the eldest wife. The new daughter-in-law was as capable as Brother Bai.

Everyone suppressed their doubts, looked down at the sumptuous dinner, and gave Fu Yunxi a thumbs up in their hearts.

Fu Yunxi didn't know at this moment that she had gained a large number of fans. She only gave the villain a point in her heart. At the same time, she was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. It seemed that her bold attempt was right. She knew that her action this time was risky, but she still did it.

Jiang and the others were smart people and didn't ask too many questions. Maybe they already considered themselves as family members! But now no one could disturb her from enjoying the food. Isn't this the picnic that modern workers yearn for?

It's so cool!
