The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"General! You and Yitian are finally back!" Yunhuo saw Mu Aiguo and Jiang Shi greeting them one by one, and hurriedly wiped away his tears and stepped forward to salute Mu Aiguo.

"Yunhuo! We haven't seen each other for a long time. I never thought we would meet again in such a situation. In the barracks in the past, you risked your life for us. I will always remember it in my heart. I am grateful for your care for my family during this period of time."

On the way, Mu Aiguo listened to Huo San telling about his past with Yun Huo, and could only sigh that things in the world are unpredictable.

When the emperor issued the decree, Yunhuo risked his life to make an appeal, trying to ensure that the Mu family would never betray the country, but if they wanted to accuse them, they would always find a pretext. The emperor did not want any evidence, but just wanted to accuse the Mu family and weaken their power.

Fortunately, Yunhuo did not lose his life because of this, otherwise he would have blamed himself for the rest of his life.

"Uncle Yun! I miss you so much!" Like Mu Yitian and Mu Yibai, they have a deep friendship with Yun Huo. To them, Yun Huo is not only an elder, but also a comrade-in-arms and friend. Now he has become a family member. It's really great!

"I miss you too! Let's not talk about the past anymore. During the famine, if it weren't for Yibai and Yunxi, the dozens of brothers in our Yunmu Village would have no idea where to go! Now it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Yun Huo, Mu Aiguo and others are all passionate people. They have fought together in the battlefield and are people who can back each other up without hesitation. There is absolutely no betrayal between them.

"That's right, let's not mention the past anymore. We will live a good life here from now on and no longer care about those things like killing enemies on the battlefield." Friendship rises with the wind, the past falls with the flowers, and everything is in silence!

People from the Chen family and the Wang family also came forward to greet Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian. This scene made Mu Yibai feel dazed for a moment. When he was a child, his father and grandfather returned in a similar scene, wearing armor and loved by the people.

No wonder the emperor was wary of the Mu family. Their ancestors had been loyal to the Great Zhao Kingdom for generations, but he refused to even grant them the title of returning home in glory!

"Everything at home has been prepared, just waiting for your return."

Jiang personally took charge of the preparation of a luncheon, gathering together the people from the Chen family, the Wang family, and Yunmu Village to have a reunion dinner. This was the biggest happy event for the Mu family in recent times, and it had to be a lively occasion!

"Thank you for your hard work, mother. Let's set off now!"

Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian helped Jiang get on the carriage. This place was still some distance away from Mojia Village. The reunion at this moment made all the hardships they had along the way seem particularly worthwhile.

"Grandma is not in good health to travel long distances. We should have stayed by your side to show our filial piety, but now we have to trouble Grandma and Mother to come here."

Mu Yitian had mixed feelings.

"We are all very happy that our husband and father can return safely. If mother hadn't stopped us, grandmother would have come to wait for them a few days ago." Lin Jie said while holding Chen An and Wanqing and following behind Luo.

"It was Mu Da who estimated the time accurately. Although he said that you are all in good health and there is no problem, mother is also worried about your days outside. After all, there is no place like home."

In fact, Luo Shi had been unable to suppress her longing for Jiang and had been looking forward to picking her up earlier, but she trusted Mu Da, and Bai Ge'er had told her the expected arrival time. She felt that they would definitely not want Jiang Shi to travel back and forth so many times at such an age, so she endured and waited until this day to come out to greet her.

"Grandma, mother, my father and I are in good health, thanks to my second brother and his wife who have taken care of us. From now on, just leave the rough work at home to me. I feel that I am stronger than before!"

Mu Yitian's words livened up the atmosphere and made Jiang and the others laugh uncontrollably. In the past, he loved poetry and books the most and had never done any hard work. If Bai Ge'er's legs had not been injured, he would not have rushed to the battlefield.

"We trust Xier's medical skills. Chen'an, Wanqing and Jiayi were all delivered by her. She is really our family's lucky star!"

Jiang gave full affirmation to Fu Yunxi. Now that the Mu family is reunited, no one is missing. She has no regrets in this life!

Mu Aiguo and his group returned not too late, so when they arrived at Mojia Village, it was just time for lunch. Qi Hongying closed the hot pot restaurant for a day and took her sisters home to prepare meals so that Fu Yunxi and the others could have a hot meal when they returned.

"Excuse me, is this Mu Yibai's Mu family?"

As soon as Mu Yibai and his companions arrived at the door of his house, they saw three men on horseback appearing outside the door, followed by a group of people.

"this?"

Jiang, Luo and others looked at each other in bewilderment. Mu Yibai had been away from home for several months and no strangers had ever come to his home. Yet, he had just returned and encountered someone coming. These people looked well-dressed and did not seem to be from Lianjiang County.

"I am, who are you?"

Mu Yibai walked out of the crowd. He roughly knew the intentions of the people who came. Fu Yunxi also saw the purpose of those people's visit and comforted Jiang and others.

"General Mu, I am an envoy from the Imperial Academy, and I am here to read the new emperor's edict."

When the leading man saw Mu Yibai, he immediately dismounted respectfully with a big smile on his face.

"Ah."

Mu Yibai saw that there were not only the Mu family members around, but also the Wang family, the Chen family, and Yunhuo and others, and was wondering whether to let them go in first.

The envoy from the Imperial Academy spoke up, "General Mu, the emperor said that when the imperial edict is read, there is no need to dismiss the attendants, and there is no need to perform formalities."

The envoy came to read the imperial edict, so he naturally understood the emperor's meaning, and therefore treated the person in front of him with great respect.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, envoy."

Since there was no need to perform formalities or to dismiss the attendants, Mu Yibai said no more and waited quietly for the messenger to read the edict. Jiang and others also stood in the direction of the imperial edict.

The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Mu family of the Marquis of Loyalty has devoted all their energy and blood to defending the territory of Great Zhao, and their achievements are outstanding. I am very pleased! It has now been found that General Mu Aiguo and his son Mu Yitian have not colluded with foreign enemies or committed treason for glory.

The person who framed the loyal and good has been found out and will be severely punished! Today, the title of Marquis Aiguo Zhongyi of Mu is restored, and he is granted a mansion, 1,000 hectares of fertile land, and 100 taels of gold; the title of Marquis Tianyi Yong of Mu Yi is granted, and he is granted a mansion, 1,000 hectares of fertile land, and 100 taels of gold; the title of Marquis Baiwu An of Mu Yi is granted, and he is granted a mansion, 1,000 hectares of fertile land, and 100 taels of gold; the Mu family is granted a gold medal of immunity from death, and they are honored as princes. This is decreed!

"General Mu, congratulations to you, and congratulations to the Mu family for getting their injustice redressed!"

After the envoy from the Hanlin Academy read out the imperial edict, he immediately and respectfully handed it to Mu Yibai.

The envoys this time were not the same as those from more than a year ago, but what was the same was that they all had awe for the Mu family.

Jiang and others behind him were all crying with joy. Today was a double happiness!

The Mu family finally no longer bears the stigma of treason. Now there are three marquises in the family. This is an unprecedented honor and will be passed down through the ages!

"Thank you, envoy. However, we intend to settle down in Lianjiang County. This house and fertile land are really unnecessary."

Mu Yibai handed the messenger a bulging purse and at the same time wanted to refuse the mansion and fertile land in the capital because he had no time to take care of them.

"Marquis Wu'an, the emperor specifically pointed out that the residences of Marquis Zhongyi and Marquis Yiyong are in the capital, and your residence is in Lianjiang County. The former Marquis' Mansion has also been vacated and renovated for the Mu family. You and your family can go there at any time. The fertile lands awarded are all in Lianjiang County.

The emperor has instructed that you must accept these so that you and your family will have a place to rest when you go to the capital in the future."

The messenger ordered people to take out the land deeds, gold and the golden medal of immunity from death, and conveyed Zhao Hengzhi's will to him.
