The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

The water bag that Mu Yibai provided to the Chen family was actually spiritual spring water from Fu Yunxi's space. Otherwise, given Mr. Chen's physical condition, it would be impossible for him to wake up so quickly.

After Mr. Chen recovered, the Chen family dragged a cart to the back of the Mu family's main house.

"Yibai, I am grateful to you for being here today. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. Although I am old and don't have many days left to live, I have many children and grandchildren, so I can do some physical work."

Everyone in the Chen family was at a loss as to what to do. Their grandfather was too honest. They were willing to help even if he didn't mention it.

"Old Master Chen, you don't have to take it to heart. This is an equal exchange. You are blessed with great fortune and many children and grandchildren. You still have a long life ahead of you."

"Haha, I really admire you. If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have said anything!"

"Old man, stop talking. Let Jianzhong and the others load the luggage into the car! We still have some time to rest."

Old Mrs. Chen quickly interrupted Old Man Chen, not wanting him to bring up those sad things again, so as not to make everyone even more sad.

"Okay, okay, I didn't think it through. From now on, our family will follow you so that we can take care of each other."

"Great! Grandma Chen can still chat with my grandmother, so we won't be bored on the way."

Fu Yunxi agreed to what Mr. Chen said and took a bag of spiritual spring water to Mu Yibai. She knew Mu Yibai's character. Since he decided to help, he would help to the end. Although the Chen family seemed to have a lot of strong laborers, the consumption was also very high. Moreover, it would take at least three hours to walk from here to Yuanbei County, and they would not be able to do without water.

"You must be Yibai's new daughter-in-law! What a pretty and capable girl."

Grandma Chen fell in love with Fu Yunxi at first sight. Not only was she beautiful, but her manners were also very decent. Moreover, although the people in the Mu family's main house were dressed simply, they were all clean, which must have been due to the contribution of her, her granddaughter-in-law.

"Yes, Grandma Chen, just call me Yunxi. I'll take you to find my grandmother. She's resting over there."

After Mu Yiheng handed the packages from home to the Chen family, he went with Fu Yunxi.

Mu Yibai did not hide it from others and directly handed the water bag to Chen Jianzhong. Chen Jianzhong was surprised at first, and then very moved. At a time like this, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is rare to send charcoal in the snow.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to thank him, he heard Mu Yibai say, "Take it! There are so many of you who still need to do manual labor."

Indeed, in this wilderness, exposed to the wind and sun, and having to push a cart, even a young and strong man would not be able to endure without food or water.

Brother Mu, I will remember this favor, and we will be with you from now on."

Chen Jianzhong knew the significance of this water. He just tasted it and found that this was no ordinary water. It was not only sweet and delicious, but also refreshing.

This bag of water might be the life guarantee of my grandfather and the Chen family.

"Master, the people in the first house are too much. They actually gave the Chen family two bags of water. Did the Chen family save his father or grandfather? Why are they so ungrateful?"

When Cai stopped by the roadside, she kept staring at the Chen family and the people from the first wife's house, just to watch the fun. She was secretly glad in her heart that she had severed ties with the first wife's house early and did not have to pay attention to the old lady. Otherwise, the journey would have been difficult and she would have been exhausted to death.

But in the end, Mu Yibai gave Chen Jianzhong two bags of water! That was two bags of water! If he saved it for the second room, it would last for two or three days.

But now, before they even reached Yuanbei, their pockets were empty, with no dry food or water. The county town they passed by was not rich, and they could not buy any food at all.

"Okay, you're still not tired. We're out of water, so you'd better say less." How could Mu Yiguo not be angry, but he had no right to be angry. They had already broken off their relationship, and if he went to ask for water, wouldn't he be laughed at?

"Master, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Zhang'er! Look at his red face and chapped lips. How can he hold on if this continues?"

At this moment, Cai had already forgotten Mu Yibai's warning. Her mind was dominated by thirst and she only wanted to drink water.

"You have to hold on even if you can't. Look at the people around you, they are all like this. You have no shame, but I still have some!"

Seeing that Mu Yiguo was so determined, Cai had no choice but to sulk aside, secretly cursing herself for marrying a loser who was so obsessed with face that he suffered in vain!

"Everyone pack your bags and move forward quickly! If you feel thirsty or hungry, just remember that there is a famous rich land ahead. Once you get there, there will definitely be supplies to buy. Supplies are in short supply now, and if you are slow, they may all be gone."

Zheng Chengyuan was urging everyone to set off again, constantly making promises, but everyone could only look on in vain to quench their thirst. Otherwise, if they didn't even have a goal, how would they have the energy to move forward?

"My dear, is Yuanbei really as good as Zheng Chengyuan said?"

Fu Yunxi was somewhat curious about Yuanbei County. The original book did not describe in detail the counties along the villain's route of exile. They had no worries about food and drink along the way, and were able to collect property and supplies from the manors that Mu Yibai had purchased along the way. It was smooth sailing. Presumably, he had already purchased things in Yuanbei.

"If it were a prosperous time, the people there would live and work in peace and contentment, and even leave their doors unlocked at night. But things are different now. Look at the situation in the counties along our route, and there are many poor families on the road. Where do you think they are going?"

"I know. They are going to Yuanbei County. Previously, the Great Zhao State had been at war for years, and the imperial court had increased taxes. The people were already living in poverty, and now there is a famine and natural disaster. Even if there were no war, the people would have difficulty surviving.

This Yuanbei County is famous for its wealth, so people from surrounding counties naturally headed in this direction.”

"Xi'er is really smart, but Yuanbei County may not be able to accommodate so many people from the surrounding area. The current situation is really worrying, and I have not bought a house here."

When Mu Yibai came to Yuanbei County in his previous life, he thought that this place would be a place of peace and prosperity. However, under the natural disaster, how could anything be spared?

Yuanbei County was filled with refugees, who were initially allowed to enter the city, but later the city gates were simply closed, prohibiting outsiders from entering.

"Don't worry, my martial arts have improved a lot now, and I will definitely protect you." After half a month of hard training, Fu Yunxi has achieved the best coordination with the whip, and can easily fight ten people alone.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Mu Yibai likes Fu Yunxi's optimism the most. She radiates bright light like a little sun, dispelling the haze in his heart. Since being with her, he is more and more looking forward to life and is no longer worried.
