The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Yue'er has just given birth, let her rest for a while! I'll prepare some food for you to enjoy when you wake up."

Aunt Jiang walked to the bedside holding the child. This was her little granddaughter, who inherited the strengths of her father and mother and was very cute.

"Well, Yue'er, go to sleep! I will stay here and will never leave."

After Aunt Jiang's reminder, Mu Yiheng stopped bothering her and let her rest.

"Thank you, mother."

As for how the children addressed Aunt Jiang, the Mu family did not care at the moment. Mu Yiheng and Lin Xue were her biological children, so it was reasonable for them to call them mother.

……

The Mu family had another big happy event, and neighbors all came to congratulate them. The Mu family was quite generous and prepared congratulatory money for everyone who came to congratulate them. Although the amount was not much, it was for the sake of celebration.

After finishing all the work, Aunt Jiang went to thank Yun Huo in person, "Today is all thanks to you. I was really anxious at that time. I felt uneasy when Yun Xi was not here."

Aunt Jiang was also confused because of her concern. If it weren't for Yunhuo, Fu Yunxi and the others would not have been able to return so quickly.

"Why should you be so polite to me? The Mu family has helped the brothers of Yunmu Village a lot. What I did is just a small thing. I hope that Yiheng's wife can give birth smoothly. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me!"

Yunhuo is still as generous as ever. He has not yet figured out his feelings for Aunt Jiang, but his desire to repay her is unwavering. In the past, it was Mu Yuanguo, and then it was Fu Yunxi. He is simply unable to repay these favors.

"Well, you can keep these wines! Yiheng said that these are fine wines and can be shared with your brothers."

In fact, Aunt Jiang was not quite clear about her feelings for Yunhuo. She had chosen to avoid him before. This time, when she encountered an emergency, she had no choice but to ask Yunhuo for help.

Ever since they met in exile, Yun Huo had taken good care of the Mu family and kept an appropriate distance from the women of the Mu family. It was unknown when a close connection had developed between them, perhaps it was the time when they took shelter from the rain outside Guandu County, perhaps it was the time when he had surgery and she took care of him every day, or perhaps it was the little things in their daily interactions.

In short, there have been subtle changes in the relationship between the two, but due to rules and dogma, even though Mu Aiguo has sacrificed himself, the two of them have never been able to cross the barrier called identity, so they avoid each other and gradually drift apart.

In fact, she could feel a different kind of feeling from Qi Feng. Mu Aiguo's kindness to her was of a plain and responsible kind.

However, Yunhuo's kindness was touching. The complicated emotions made her feel both unfamiliar and novel and exciting. In short, the waves in her heart were not false, so when Yiheng asked her to come and express her gratitude, she came without hesitation. Perhaps she should be braver as Yiheng said!

"Has that kid Yiheng found something good again? Ask him and Yibai to come over for a drink someday!"

The martial arts school opened by Yunhuo has many students. Mu Yibai and Mu Yiheng are both masters there and they have frequent interactions on a daily basis. Because of this, Mu Yiheng increasingly believes that Yunhuo is a reliable person.

He had long noticed the ambiguous relationship between Yunhuo and his mother, and thought that he would hear good news from them soon, but to his surprise, the two of them gradually became distant.

He is not the kind of person who would restrict his mother's words and deeds with women's virtues, and the Mu family naturally would not do so either. Therefore, he strongly supports the relationship between Yun Huo and his mother, a brother and sister who are one year apart in age. It is a blessing for them to find love at such an age!

"No need to wait until tomorrow, why don't you all come over and have lunch together! Yibai said that Zhao Ming and his companions will be leaving tomorrow, so let's have a meal together before they leave, just as a farewell party for them. I don't know if we will meet again in the future."

This was the second thing Aunt Jiang came here for, to invite the people from Yunmu Village to have dinner.

"Okay, we will definitely go there tomorrow."

Yunhuo was a bit naive. He seldom dealt with women. Apart from business matters, he had no idea what else to say. He could only respond to Aunt Jiang's words blankly and wait for her to continue.

"And I made a pair of gloves for you. I heard Yiheng mention that you need to use various weapons when you train in the martial arts hall. Although you are highly skilled in martial arts, you can't overtrain. Your palms are prone to injury. I also made these gloves for Yiheng and Yibai."

Aunt Jiang took out a pair of dark blue gloves with fine stitching, which looked extremely delicate. She was worried that Yunhuo would not accept them, so she specifically asked to make two pairs for the children as well.

"We are used to handling knives and guns. We won't get hurt."

Yunhuo had not expected that he would be treated like this. He was instantly surprised and delighted. In the past, when he was on the battlefield, he never wore gloves no matter how cold the weather was. Now, teaching is no problem at all.

"The situation is different now. You don't need to fight the enemy anymore. Don't fight so hard. You have to take care of your body."

Aunt Jiang didn't say anything more. She left the gloves and turned away. Yunhuo looked at the gloves in his hands and Aunt Jiang's receding figure, and his heart warmed. It seemed that this hot-blooded man was about to come to his senses!

"Mom, have you sent out the gloves you made?" As soon as Mu Yiheng saw Aunt Jiang coming back from Yunhuo, he couldn't wait to come forward and ask.

Aunt Jiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, they are. Your and Yibai's portions will be ready soon." Aunt Jiang's heart was filled with emotion. She was able to take this step bravely thanks to her son's encouragement.

Aunt Jiang recalled her life and felt that she was very lucky among the many servants. She was born in a wealthy family and had a close relationship with the young lady since childhood. Later, she came as a dowry and had never suffered in the Mu family. Even when she encountered difficult times such as exile and fleeing famine, she did not suffer too much.

But now facing Yunhuo, she couldn't help feeling uneasy. She knew very well that there was a huge gap between her and Yunhuo. Yunhuo was a great general who served his country and his people, while she was just a widow with a granddaughter.

However, I thought about it again. Life is fleeting, so why should I always care about what others think? If Yunhuo is also interested in me, how wonderful it would be to live hand in hand with him in the future. Even if Yunhuo is not interested, life can just go back to where it was, and I won't have any regrets.

……

On the other side, after Zhao Hengzhi and Fu Ziyan had their meal, they immediately began to arrange people to load fruit saplings and grain seeds.

They were thankful that they had enough people with them this time, otherwise they would have to hire extra people to escort them. After all, in their opinion, outsiders are never as reliable as their own people.

After dinner, the house was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Luo then spoke up, "Mom, now that Yiheng's children are born, our home is becoming more and more lively! Shouldn't we give the babies formal names? Dabao and Erbao have been called that for quite a while, and we can't keep calling the third child Sanbao."

The father and grandfather of Dabao and Erbao are not at home at the moment, but the important matter of naming the children cannot be delayed.

Mrs. Luo was determined to give her children nice names that had beautiful meanings.
