The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Just as I was talking about Brother Mu, I never expected that they would return before lunch.

"Master, we have been investigating for several days. This Baili family is really extraordinary. They lived in seclusion in the mountains in their early years, but every year someone from the family goes out to practice medicine. We have also found out some information about the Saint."

As soon as Mu Da entered the room, he started reporting, and even found out the approximate location of the Baili family.

"Sit down and talk!"

Fu Yunxi happened to prepare a large table full of food, focusing on nourishing the bodies of Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian.

"The Baili family has been practicing medicine for generations. They parted ways with the Sikong family in the past. One reason was because of their different ideas on governing the country, and the other was because the Sikong family had always coveted the saint's magic that could bring the dead back to life."

"But according to our investigation, the Saint is born with one less soul and one less spirit than an ordinary person. When she reaches adulthood, the clan leader will summon her soul and gather her spirit. At this time, the souls of the people around the Saint may be affected, and gradually rumors spread that the Saint can bring people back to life. Seventeen years ago, the clan leader's daughter Baili Zixia was pregnant, and Sikong Xingyao tried to use the Saint in her belly to extend Sikong Boyu's life, so he caused a big disturbance in the Baili family. In order to protect the child, Baili Zixia fled southern Xinjiang and hid her name. As for the Saint, her whereabouts are also unknown."

"This Sikong Xingyao is too evil. He broke up other people's families just for his own son. Doesn't he fear the punishment from heaven?"

Chen Jianzhong couldn't help but feel angry. Regardless of whether the saint possessed such ability or not, even if she really had magic, he couldn't let the saint end up being homeless!

"Have you found out where Baili Zixia went afterwards?"

Huo San looked at Mu Aiguo with an anxious look, and asked the question for him.

"We only know that he is in our Great Zhao State, hiding his real name and identity. His daughter should be around sixteen years old now."

Since she was hiding on purpose, she would not reveal her name. People from the Baili family were also looking for her, but to no avail.

"Sixteen years old?"

Mu Aiguo and Mu Yibai's eyes were focused on Fu Yunxi at the same time, while the others were confused.

"Ma'am, do you think this is possible?"

Mu Yibai asked tentatively.

"It's not impossible. My mother usually stays at home and rarely goes out. As far as I can remember, she rarely goes out on the street and doesn't interact with people. Also, my father really dislikes me. In the past, I just thought that he favored the eldest daughter. Now that I think about it, it's really a bit strange."

Fu Yunxi always felt that her father was targeting her, and there was a difference between the look of dislike and hatred in his eyes.

"So should we go to the Baili family first or to the mangrove forest first?"

Mu Yibai always puts Fu Yunxi first in everything. He knows that she must be confused at the moment and is eagerly waiting for an answer.

"Let's go to the mangrove forest first! Saving lives is the most important thing. Maybe all this is just a coincidence!"

Fu Yunxi was actually eager to uncover the mystery of her identity, but at this moment she was a little timid. Did she belong to this world? Was all this just a book?

"Red Mangrove is just my guess, Yunxi, you look too similar to Baili Zixia, I almost made a mistake."

Mu Aiguo believed that this was definitely not a coincidence. How could two women who looked so similar not be related by blood?

"Xi'er, why don't we go find out the truth first? We originally planned to find a safe place before heading to the mangrove forest. If Baili Zixia is really your mother, then Zuojiangzhu will be our most secure shelter."

It’s not that Mu Yibai wants to rely on his “father-in-law”. After thinking it over again and again, he believes that this is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Mr. Mu, you mentioned that Sikong Xingyao attacked the Baili family. Where is Baili Zixia's husband?"

Fu Yunxi did not directly reject Mu Yibai's proposal, but turned to look at Mu Da. Mu Aiguo stopped talking at this time. He remembered that when he met Baili Zixia more than ten years ago, she was alone and unexpectedly she was pregnant. So her husband must have passed away?

"Bai Li Zi Xia's husband Mu Feng fell into Si Kong Xing Yao's ambush while trying to save his wife and children. He was seriously injured and later died."

"What did you say? Her husband's name is Mu Feng?"

When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed suddenly. Mu Feng, isn’t that the name of Fu Yunxi’s mother?

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? I'm afraid no one would believe that Fu Yunxi and Baili Zixia had nothing to do with each other.

"That's right, Baili Zixia is the only daughter of Baili clan leader Zuojiangzhu, and has been favored since childhood.

When she grew up, she married Mu Feng, the most powerful man. However, a saint appears only once every hundred years, and the year when Baili Zixia became pregnant happened to be exactly a hundred years.

As a result, Sikong Xingyao became malicious and used a sinister plan to deal with the people of Baili Family, causing Mu Feng to be seriously injured.

Even though the Baili family had been practicing medicine for generations, they were unable to cure him, and he soon passed away..."

This is the information that Mu Da had found out. The Baili family had a good reputation and many people praised them highly.

Although they lived in seclusion for many years, they often sent their disciples who had learned skills to go out to treat illnesses and accumulate experience.

It can not only help the poor people and save them from the suffering of diseases, but also pass on the medical skills.

"This Sikong Xingyao is really despicable! Just because of a rumor, he wants to destroy other people's families and even become an enemy of a family. The means he uses are so insidious."

Chen Jianzhong felt sorry for Baili Zixia and Bai Mufeng just by hearing the story.

This family of three should have had a happy and fulfilling life, but it was ruined by Sikong Xingyao!

"It seems that we let Sikong Xingyao die too easily. Such a person should not die on the battlefield. This is simply a blasphemy to his opponents."

Huo San also hated Sikong Liyao, even though it was the Mu family who killed Sikong Xingyao, General Mu and his men defeated the Sikong family openly on the battlefield.

But now, after hearing about what he had done, I always felt that it was too easy for him to die in battle.

"Muda, has the exact location of the Baili Family been determined?"

Mu Yibai felt full of pity when he saw Fu Yunxi's absent-minded look.

She must have been heartbroken to hear that people who might be her parents had been hunted down by Sikong Xingyao in vicious ways.

He could understand the pain of losing a loved one better than anyone else, so he hoped to find a way to comfort and compensate her, or at least let her have fewer regrets!

"It has been confirmed, but the journey is long and the mountain road is rugged. It will take at least ten days to walk."

Mu Da found out the location, but they did not enter. They returned after confirming the information.

Even with the help of their lightness skills, the two of them still spent six days on the round trip. At that moment, General Mu and the other man looked extremely weak. Although their complexion had improved, they were still skinny. If they were to walk along the mountain road, it would probably take them quite a while.

"Okay, then we'll set out tomorrow. We'll take a carriage first, and then make plans when we get to the mountain road. Father, brother, I'll find a bigger and more comfortable carriage so that you can be more comfortable."

Mu Yibai didn't want to delay any longer. If he could find Xier's relatives in southern Xinjiang, then perhaps she wouldn't be so lonely.

"Yibai, don't worry about our health. We will set off after lunch. Yunxi has removed the poison from me. I just need to recuperate slowly. Don't think of me as an old and weak person. I am completely fine. Besides, Baili Zixia saved my life. It would be a good thing if I could bring her daughter back as soon as possible."

In this room, apart from Fu Yunxi, the person who was most difficult to calm down was Mu Aiguo. He valued gratitude more than his life. More than ten years have passed and he still has not succeeded in repaying the gratitude. This matter will always weigh on his mind in the future.
