The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Zheng Chengyuan saw a dilapidated temple in the distance and was overjoyed. He urged the team to move forward at full speed and told everyone that there was a temple a mile ahead where they could spend the night. When they arrived, they would cook meat and everyone would have a share.

After hearing this, everyone regained their spirits and continued to move forward.

In the past, the masters and ladies of the noble families would not have believed that they could walk such a long distance, but under the pressure of reality, they all stimulated their potential. During these three days of walking and stopping, no one fell behind.

At this moment, everyone had arrived at the ruined temple and found a place to rest. The ruined temple was spacious enough to accommodate the exile team, and the officials found a slightly cleaner place to light a fire and cook meat.

This night was the happiest night in the past few days. The officials cooked meat and everyone had a little. Although there was not much meat, who wouldn’t be happy with free meat?

Because the wild boar was killed by Mu Yibai, each person in the Mu family's eldest branch was given a few extra pieces of meat. The people in the eldest branch originally wanted to eat the delicacies that Fu Yunxi had conjured up, but it was not convenient to stand out in the dilapidated temple, so they had to follow everyone and eat wild boar meat and steamed corn bread.

But Fu Yunxi still secretly took some delicious food when no one was paying attention, and also prepared milk for Jiang, Lin and Mu Yibai.

Late at night, Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi came to the woods behind the temple while everyone was asleep.

Fu Yunxi took out a rehabilitation device, similar to parallel bars and a space walker, with a waist protector to prevent the patient from losing strength and falling during rehabilitation.

After Fu Yunxi helped Mu Yibai onto the rehabilitation equipment, she watched him from the side and encouraged him. "Go slowly. This is how it is when you just recover. You are already very good."

Fu Yunxi knew that the patient needed to build confidence at this moment, so she kept encouraging him.

After hearing this, Mu Yibai became more convinced that he could do it and must stand up as soon as possible. He didn't expect that he was so persevering that he persisted for half an hour and was able to walk a few steps.

But Fu Yunxi was worried that haste makes waste, so when she saw Mu Yibai's forehead was sweating, she asked him to stop. She then took out a foot bath bucket and asked him to soak in the holy water and massage the acupoints.

She wanted to help Mu Yibai remove his scars and make him forget his painful past.

"Xier, thank you." Mu Yibai was able to walk a few steps independently, and his heart was extremely excited. He had never thought that this day would come from his previous life to now. When his feet touched the ground, he finally believed what Fu Yunxi said. She must be a fairy sent by God to save himself and the Mu family. If they were really together, he would never let her down in this life.

Fu Yunxi could naturally sense Mu Yibai's excitement. Since she came to this world, she had already regarded herself as a member of the Mu family and did not ask for his gratitude.

"Xier, if you are willing, I will never let you down in this life." Mu Yibai said solemnly, as if responding to Fu Yunxi's words on the day of their wedding!

Fu Yunxi felt sweet in her heart, but she felt that Mu Yibai was more grateful to her at this moment.

"Oh, by the way, I also want to find a time to let Grandma and Mom soak in the spiritual spring water. After the marrow is cleansed, their bodies will be better and they will be able to cope with the subsequent journey."

"Okay, whatever you say." Mu Yibai's peach blossom eyes gazed at Fu Yunxi tenderly. Under the moonlight, the two of them looked like a beautiful painting.

……

Everyone on the road noticed the abnormality of this year. The scenery on both sides of the official road was desolate. The midday sun was scorching hot, shining on the hair and clothes, making people feel restless.

At noon, Zheng Chengyuan luckily led everyone to find a water source, which was a small river. Seeing that there were no deep mountains around, Zheng Chengyuan let the team rest nearby. However, the river water was very shallow and could only be used for drinking. It was certainly not enough for bathing and washing clothes. If there was no rain, the river would not last for a few days in such weather.

Before dark, the team had arrived in Beiyun County.

"We have arrived. You can rest here tonight. You can buy some supplies tomorrow morning. We will no longer provide water and dry food from tomorrow morning. You will need to cook your own meals on the road. We will set off tomorrow afternoon."

Everyone was happy to hear that they could rest here for half a day and finally relax.

But I also heard him say that from now on everyone will have to cook for themselves. Doesn't that mean we will have to spend money everywhere?

And carrying a heavy burden on the road, things will probably be even more difficult from now on!

However, Zheng Chengyuan did not think so. When he arrived in Beiyun County, he realized that this year might really be a famine year. The town had also changed. Although it was not prosperous in the past, it was close to the capital after all, so the people lived and worked in peace and the streets were bustling.

Many shops on the street are closed, there are no vendors, and the largest inn in Beiyun County is also deserted. They must make plans early and buy more dry food, otherwise it is uncertain whether they can reach the border smoothly.

"This year is a famine year. It should be because the harvest is poor, which has caused many people to lose their jobs. Tomorrow morning, Xier and I will go to the street to do some shopping. You can just rest in the inn. Don't walk around. Be careful."

Mu Yibai discussed the arrangements for tomorrow with the people from the first house. Today, Zheng Chengyuan did not make things difficult for them. The inn was quite large, so everyone would pay to stay in the guest rooms tonight. No one would stay in the cowshed or the big dormitory.

"Yibai, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you, why not let Yiheng go shopping."

Aunt Jiang felt distressed when she saw that Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi had been taking care of the whole family, arranging all their food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"Nothing, auntie. My husband and I are going to the street to find out the situation and buy some things we may need on the road. You can tell us what you need. Don't worry about not being able to get it or it being unsafe."

Fu Yunxi still wanted to stock up more supplies with Mu Yibai. Although there were few stores in the town, they would need a lot of things when they settled down at the border in the future. Therefore, they wanted to buy anything that might be useful and store it in the space.

"Okay, then you must be careful when you go out, and Brother Bai must protect Xier."

Upon hearing this, Jiang had no choice but to ask him to be careful when going out, and the family only then made arrangements to enjoy a sumptuous dinner.

After dinner, Mu Yibai talked about business with everyone.

"Xi'er has a prescription that can relieve fatigue and cure old diseases. It only takes an hour to take a medicinal bath. Xi'er and I will prepare the medicinal bath ingredients before we go shopping tomorrow morning. You can take a bath in your room tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xier!" Jiang stepped forward and held Fu Yunxi's hands, expressing gratitude.

"Grandma, we are a family. As long as everyone is well, I will be happy."
