The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"My dear, how can a mere county magistrate possess so much gold, silver and jewelry?"

When Fu Yunxi and his companion arrived at the storehouse of the magistrate of Suixi County, they saw boxes of jewels.

They had walked around the yard and had given up hope because the county magistrate's house was extremely ordinary, no different from ordinary people's homes, without any luxurious decorations or embellishments, which almost deceived them. They didn't expect that there was an entirely different world inside!

"Normally, a county magistrate shouldn't have so much property. This box is enough for him to earn for a lifetime."

Mu Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that the county magistrate must have been very social, and that his family had so much property of unknown origin, and he also knew not to show off his wealth.

Apart from this storehouse, all the items in the yard were consistent with his status as a county magistrate, but what was the point? Ill-gotten gains could only be hidden in a deserted corner, and were not used by himself or his family.

"It seems that he has been greedy for a lot, but he dare not spend the money. It would be better to find a way to benefit the people of Suixi County and make everyone rich together. Although the money is small, it can be made in an honest way!"

Fu Yunxi didn’t understand what these officials were thinking, but they knew that they couldn’t keep the county magistrate!

"There are always some people who can't resist temptation. Maybe it's just a small temptation at first, but once it starts, it's like the water of a big river. It's hard to stop it. Let's take it and leave."

Mu Yibai has seen many corrupt officials like this. The largest officialdom in the world is the imperial court, and the twists and turns therein are truly extraordinary and fascinating. Now that he has the opportunity to escape from that hypocritical place, he couldn't ask for more!

"Okay, let's take these grains as well. I'm sure the county magistrate will find a way to get new grain!"

As Fu Yunxi spoke, he began to put all the boxes of varying sizes in the warehouse into the space. It must be said that the county magistrate was quite smart. Having experienced years of famine, he also realized the importance of food. There was nothing superfluous in the warehouse, only money and food.

"Well! This time, we must make him feel heartbroken, otherwise he won't take our Shun and Lianjiang County seriously at all."

Mu Yibai strongly agreed with Fu Yunxi's approach. To deal with such a person, he had to use his method to deal with him!

After Mu Yibai came out of the warehouse, he scouted the roofs of the county magistrate's house and found that there was no such things in every house. It seemed that he was determined not to let others know that he was rich in order to avoid being accused of corruption.

"Let's go! Let's see what else he can do."

Fu Yunxi and the other man had no intention of continuing the fight, so they returned home after looting the items.

Fortunately, Mu Yibai's mastery of Qinggong enabled them to rush back to Mo Village before dawn without being noticed by anyone.

The magistrate of Suixi County might wake up and be furious, guessing that the thief who stole his treasure came from Lianjiang County.

However, it was all too late because the ice rain came early!

……

"Sister Ying, you guys should go home quickly! It's getting cloudy soon."

The next day at noon, Qi Hongying and the sisters were helping out in the Mu family's main house. Since the hot pot restaurant closed, they would take the initiative to help the Mu family and Yunmuzhai every day, mainly doing chores like cleaning.

With their help, Yunmu Village looks more and more like home, and is tidy and clean everywhere.

At this moment, Fu Yunxi saw that the weather was changing, so she asked them to go home as soon as possible.

"Okay, then let's go back today and come back when the weather is better."

After hearing what Fu Yunxi said, Qi Hongying did not hesitate and immediately took her sisters and others back to the second house.

The weather had indeed been abnormal recently. Even if they were trapped in the Mu family's home due to the heavy rain, Fu Yunxi would not mind. However, they could not help feeling bad, so they prepared to leave after finishing the work at hand.

"Well, Sister Ying, you can take these game back and enjoy them. The leftovers can be stored in the cellar."

Fu Yunxi asked Mu Yiheng to give the processed pheasants and roe deer to Qi Hongying. They could not finish all the food. Besides, Qi Hongying did not charge for her work, so it was reasonable to give her some food.

"Then I won't be polite with you. Thank you, Yunxi. Let's go."

Qi Hongying knew that it was useless to refuse and she would eventually accept it. They were afraid that they would never be able to repay Fu Yunxi's kindness!

About an incense stick's time after Qi Hongying and her companions left, it started raining outside.

In such cold weather, it started to rain ice!

"Xi'er, there's something wrong with the rain. Why is it so loud?"

Lin Jie screamed. She had been sitting on the couch trying to coax her two babies to sleep when it suddenly started raining outside the window.

At first the rain was light and drizzling, and she didn't pay much attention to it. But as she listened, the sound became louder and louder.

It was as if countless small ice cubes were smashing to the ground, catching everyone off guard. No one had ever seen such a scene.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. It is raining outside, but the temperature is low and the rain has condensed into ice."

Fu Yunxi comforted Lin Jie. The icy rain looked normal, except for some small ice chips.

If it turns into a big ice cube, it will be hard to say!

"Second sister-in-law, come and have a bowl of hot soup with me! Mother just made it. You will feel warm all over after drinking it."

Mrs. Luo cooked a big pot of carrot and beef bone soup, which was perfect for this kind of weather. Liu Yue did not have any problem of not being able to eat in the early stages of her pregnancy. On the contrary, she had a very good appetite and enjoyed everything. She often needed to walk around and exercise more.

"Well, looking at the rain, it won't stop any time soon, let's all take a rest!"

Fu Yunxi took the soup and tasted it. Hmm! Familiar taste. This soup was cooked by Fu Yunxi!

"Okay, I'll read the medical book for a while. It's still early now, so we can have dinner later." Liu Yue and Lin Jie sat on the couch together. After coaxing Dabao and Erbao to sleep, she took out the medical book and started reading.

"Yue'er, please light the oil lamp! The children are already asleep." Lin Jie was worried that Liu Yue would damage her eyes by reading. The sky outside was covered by huge dark clouds, and the room was much darker than usual, so she had to light a lamp to read.

"Then I'll light the oil lamp! It's indeed much brighter." When the light came on, the room suddenly became warm.

The sense of security for infancy does not come from a dark environment, but from physical contact. The first and second babies snuggle up to each other, with Lin Jie and Luo guarding them, which gives them the greatest sense of security.

In this warm atmosphere, time passes quietly.

……

"Husband, why have you been visiting Uncle Yun so frequently recently?" After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms early, especially Fu Yunxi and the other two, who did not have a good rest last night because of their night visit to Suixi County.

"It's not a big deal. Uncle Yun wants to lead the brothers in Yunmu Village to make a living. Now everything is almost settled. Xiaoliu and the others work as odd jobs in the hot pot restaurant, and Uncle Yun plans to open a martial arts school to teach the rest of the people kung fu." Mu Yibai explained patiently.

Fu Yunxi nodded slightly and said, "This is a good idea. It can not only give them something to do, but also pass on their kung fu skills. However, opening a martial arts school is not easy. The venue, funds and students are all problems."

"Madam, what you said is absolutely right, but Uncle Yun has already made some plans. He plans to find a suitable venue in the city first. As for the funds, we will all work together to pool them together. As for resources, Uncle Yun also has some reputation in the world, and I believe many people will come here because of his reputation." There was a glimmer of hope in Mu Yibai's eyes.

Fu Yunxi gently held her husband's hand, "That's good, I hope everything goes well for them, and we must also work harder to make our lives better and better."

The rain outside the window was still drizzling, and the two people in the house snuggled up to each other, looking forward to a better future.
