The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

The next day at noon, Fu Yunxi and others had lunch and prepared to set off.

Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian's bodies have largely recovered, and they just need to continue recuperating. As for the ten secret guards including Mu San, their physical conditions are still good, and their meridians are recovering. The long-term deficit must be made up step by step, and they must not be impatient for quick results.

"Xier, you must be careful on your journey and remember to write back!" Lord Zuo said goodbye on the shore.

During the past few days with Fu Yunxi, he was always in high spirits. Even though he was gray-haired, the joy in his smile was still clearly visible. Now that she was about to leave, the old man's reluctance to let her go was even more touching.

"Grandfather, we will come back to see you once we are settled!" Fu Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears. No one is good at facing separation. She checked her grandfather's pulse and found that the old man was still in good health.

She left behind many tonic recipes, hoping to help the Baili family. Once she had arranged all matters in Lianjiang County, she and Mu Yibai would definitely return, and maybe bring new members with them.

On the way back, everyone's mood was completely different from when they came. Mu Da sent a fast horse to report the letter first, and Mu Yibai and his companions took two carriages and traveled day and night just to see their families as soon as possible.

"Rest at the inn tonight. I'll prepare some delicious food." In the past few days, everyone has taken shortcuts to save time. Fu Yunxi has sufficient supplies and does not need to go to the county town to replenish them. He can just concentrate on his journey.

"You've worked hard, Yunxi. We can just have a meal at the post station." Mu Aiguo had seen all of Fu Yunxi's behavior during this period. He was very happy that Mu Yibai could find Fu Yunxi.

Fu Yunxi is not only good at managing the household, but also has excellent cooking skills and medical skills. What is more rare is that she has good conduct and character. The Mu family must have been able to marry such a daughter-in-law as a result of years of good deeds!

"Father, you have to eat well while you are on the road, so that when we get home, mother and sister-in-law will feel at ease when they see you." Fu Yunxi has been taking care of the ten of them. Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian have recovered to their best. They are gradually becoming stronger and no longer frail. They even look several years younger.

"Father, just listen to Xier! Mu Da should be home by now. Grandmother and mother must have received the news. You and big brother must take advantage of these few days to take care of your health so that they can rest assured."

Mu Yibai knew that Xier had a hard time, but he loved his wife very much. He helped Xier with work during the day and massaged her body at night. Now his technique had become very skilled.

Xiji often fell asleep during his massage, leaving him alone to enjoy the night and the beauty.

……

"Hey, have you heard? The new emperor has thrown Prince Jing, the former crown prince, into jail! Along with his mother, the dowager concubine, and the prime minister's faction, he has claimed that they are collaborators and traitors, causing great losses to the Great Zhao Kingdom!"

Mu Yibai was checking in when he happened to hear a conversation in the lobby. The topic was about Zhao Hengzhi's ascension to the throne and his actions after ascending the throne.

"Is this true? How come I have never heard of such an important event?"

Several men were drinking and chatting.

"It hasn't been announced yet, so you naturally don't know! My uncle is an official in the capital, and he said that this fact is almost certain. He also said that the Mu family was wronged at the beginning, which was really pitiful. Many people had their homes confiscated and were exiled."

Perhaps because the man's story was so vivid and vivid, everyone around him believed it a little.

"Is there any evidence? Our new emperor is so decisive and swift in his actions. He is much better than the previous emperor. The previous emperor probably only did one good thing, which was to 'burn himself to apologize'!"

"How can they be imprisoned without evidence? They are the prince and the concubine, and those arrested are all important officials of the previous dynasty. If there is no solid evidence, how dare the new emperor touch them so easily!"

"Then it must be that the eldest prince is restless. The emperor has done many good things. I heard that when he was a prince, he went to the people to understand their sentiments and donated all his money. And judging from his attitude towards the empress dowager and the former second prince, he is not someone who cannot tolerate Prince Jing and the concubine."

"That's right. Our new emperor has done a lot of practical things for the people. Prince Jing must have done something extremely treasonous and that's why he was arrested!"

The few of them were chatting enthusiastically, and generally speaking, they all approved of Zhao Hengzhi, sympathized with the Mu family, and hated the eldest prince.

Mu Yibai and the others just laughed it off after hearing it. These had nothing to do with them anymore. It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before Zhao Hengzhi would be able to clear the Mu family's grievances!

When Mu Yibai and his party arrived at Lianjiang County in a horse-drawn carriage, they saw Jiang and others guarding the county gate from afar. The fourth and fifth concubines were also there. Even the Chen and Wang families came to greet them with their families. All the brothers in Yunmuzhai who had no work came.

"Father, eldest brother, grandmother and the others are all here, bringing their three babies with them. From a distance, we can see that Jiaojiao and Lin Xue have grown quite a bit taller!"

Fu Yunxi lifted the car curtain and waved to them, and they responded from afar.

"Hold on tight! We're almost home!"

Chen Jianzhong was driving outside. Seeing this situation, he sped up so that everyone could reunite as soon as possible!

……

"Mother, I am sorry that I failed to fulfill my filial duty and caused you trouble and distress."

"Grandma, mother, I'm sorry to have caused you worry."

Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian got out of the car first, ran quickly to Jiang, and knelt down.

It was hard for them to imagine how much hardship this orphan and his widowed mother had endured over the past year. Even though the hardships of the past were now a thing of the past, they were still filled with guilt. They felt guilty that they were the reason for the Mu family's confiscation and exile, and they felt guilty that they were not by the family's side when it was most difficult.

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, let me take a good look at you!"

Jiang's eyes were blurred with tears, but she still tried her best to wipe away the tears, just to see her son and grandson clearly. She reached out and stroked their faces, and touched their shoulders and arms, only to feel that all this was like a dream.

"Go and let Juan'er and Jie'er take a look!"

After seeing this, Jiang finally felt relieved. This way, she would have an explanation to face her husband when she died. Luo, Aunt Jiang, Lin Jie and others standing by also burst into tears and kept wiping their tears with handkerchiefs.

"Master, Yitian, you are finally back!"

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Mom, Jie'er, I'm back."

Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian are still immersed in the joy of reuniting with their family.

Lin Jie suddenly burst into tears, "Father, husband, our Mu family has had three more lucky babies in the past year or so. Come and have a look. These are Chen An, Wan Qing, and Jia Yi."

Lin Jie and Luo happily introduced the babies to Mu Aiguo and his wife. Chen An and Wanqing were already able to walk, and Jiayi was no longer a baby in swaddling clothes. The babies were born with fair skin and inherited the excellent genes of the Mu family.

"May God bless our Mu family! These babies are so adorable. Although I missed their birth this time, we will be together as a family in the future and will never miss anything!"

Mu Aiguo happily hugged Dabao, then Erbao, and was still worried about Sanbao. At this moment, he suddenly felt that life was like this and he had nothing else to ask for.
