The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Second brother, look!"

Mu Yiheng was posting Spring Festival couplets with Mu Yibai in the corridor when he suddenly saw two figures in the yard through the window. He could only vaguely make out that they were two people because they were wrapped very tightly and looked round, making it difficult to tell who they were.

Mu Yibai looked in the direction that Mu Yiheng pointed, and his pupils shrank instantly. Could it be that...

"Yiheng, let's open this door together!"

Mu Yibai put down the Spring Festival couplets and prepared to work together with Mu Yiheng to open the door leading to the yard. The wind and snow outside were so fierce that it required two people to apply force from both sides at the same time to open the door.

"Brother, it's so cold outside, how can we open the door wearing these clothes?"

Mu Yiheng was startled by Mu Yibai's words. He must have figured out who the person was.

However, in weather of more than 30 degrees below zero, they were only wearing ordinary winter clothes. If they opened the door rashly, they might freeze to death.

"Go in first and tell mother that Uncle Yun is here. Mu Da, come and help me open the door."

Mu Yibai and his elder brother Mu Da both have internal strength and can withstand being in a cold environment for a short period of time, but Mu Yiheng is really not able to do that. Although he later started to practice martial arts, internal strength cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After hearing this, Mu Yiheng immediately understood what Mu Yibai meant. Without staying for too long, he went into the house to deliver the message to everyone.

"Open the door!"

Mu Yibai looked at the two figures running fast in the snow. After confirming that they noticed him and were walking towards him,

He ordered his brother Mu to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in, chilling the skin and Yun Huo and Huo San, who were exhausted.

"Uncle Yun, Huo San, please slow down for a moment."

Brother Mu closed the door again, and saw that Yunhuo and Huo were covered in ice and snow. Only their eyes were exposed. The snowflakes on their eyelashes trembled slightly, and the skin around their eyes was frozen red. The two rested for a while in the warm corridor before speaking.

"Oh, this weather is really unbearable. When we were in the army, we experienced all kinds of bad weather. But we were stopped by this little snowstorm!"

Yunhuo and Huo San began to take off their clothes. In order to spend the New Year together at the Mu family, they came during the day when the sun was out. They wrapped themselves tightly in three layers of clothing, so they could survive outdoors for a while. However, it was really cold! Even someone like him who had been working in extreme environments for many years was frozen red.

"That's right. It's only because Uncle Yun and I are strong that we can walk here in this kind of weather. It would be impossible for others to do so. But then again, Second Brother Mu, your courtyard wall is a bit too high. We were wearing so many thick clothes that we could hardly get in."

Huo San muttered as he took off his clothes. Xiaoliu and the others had originally planned to come over to celebrate the New Year together, and he missed the food cooked by Fu Yunxi very much.

However, in the end, I was stopped by the severe cold. It was extremely comfortable to stay at home. Not everyone can endure such suffering.

"Let's go to the inner room and warm up. The wall is only one and a half meters high. If we can't get in, will all the Kung Fu my father taught me be wasted?"

Mu Yibai invited them into the house. The corridor was directly connected to the outside yard. The temperature was just above zero, but the floor heating in the house was burning hot. In order to make the children and everyone more comfortable, it was conservatively estimated to be more than ten degrees.

"You can come in, you can come in. We can come in easily!"

Huo San joked with Mu Yibai that his kung fu was taught by General Mu himself. What he was most proud of in his life was that he was taken in by General Mu when he was a child. Not only did he have no worries about food and clothing, but he could also join the military camp and become a warrior defending his country.

"Come in quickly, you must be freezing! Sit down and have a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up first."

Aunt Jiang went to cook ginger soup when Mu Yiheng reported the news. She could hardly imagine what it would be like to walk in such a heavy snowstorm.

"Thank you, auntie. Please stop worrying. We are much better now."

Huo San took the ginger soup from Aunt Jiang and drank it all in one gulp. Fortunately, the ginger soup was warm, not too hot, otherwise he would have gotten burned if he drank it so eagerly.

Yunhuo also took the ginger soup and drank it. They both immediately felt warm in their stomachs, and their whole bodies became warm.

"Your clothes are all wet! Here are some new clothes for you to change into."

Mrs. Luo was busy looking for clothes for them. Their outer coats were placed in the corridor. The corners of their inner clothes were a little damp.

"Sister-in-law, please don't bother. We can just wear this. We brought New Year gifts for everyone."

As he spoke, Yunhuo took out two brocade boxes from his arms, each the size of two palms.

"We are deeply touched that you came here despite such a heavy snowstorm. Why do you need to bring anything with you?"

Luo was still wondering why there was a bulge on Yunhuo's chest.

"Please accept it. This is a gift from all the brothers in our Yunmu Village. Uncle Yun has been protecting you all the way, fearing that you might freeze to death."

Huo San smiled and said that this was the most valuable item in Yunmu Village, and Uncle Yun insisted on keeping it for himself.

"Given your friendship with Aiguo, do we still need to be so polite to each other?"

Yunhuo is Mu Aiguo's deputy general. They have been partners since the day they entered the military camp.

This friendship alone is so important that there is no need to worry about formalities.

“Sister-in-law, there is no need for me and my elder brother to be polite, but this is the kindness of dozens of brothers from Yunmu Village. We have been taken care of by the Mu family along the way, especially Yibai and Yunxi, who have given us a lot of help. Even when we built the house later, everyone helped a lot. Therefore, this is a little kindness from the brothers of Yunmu Village.

Yun Huo held the brocade box in his hand and became more and more excited the more he spoke. If the brothers of Yunmu Village had not received the selfless help and rescue from Mu Yibai and his wife, they would probably have had difficulty surviving the natural disaster.

"Okay, we'll take these. You two should change into new clothes. Today is New Year's Day, and everyone must wear new red clothes. No exceptions!"

After hearing Yunhuo's words, Luo was deeply moved. She had no choice but to accept the New Year's gift and asked them to change their clothes.

At this moment, Yunhuo and Huo San were unable to refuse and followed Mu Yiheng to the next room to change clothes.

Yunhuo was originally big and strong, but after putting on the red coat, he inexplicably looked cute, which made people laugh.

Huo San was handsome, and the red dress made him look even more gorgeous. Everyone reasonably guessed that Mu Aiguo fell in love with him at first sight on the street because of his face.

However, the little beggar's face must have been covered by the mud, and no one knew the real reason why Mu Aiguo took Huo San away!
