The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Everyone, hurry up and run all the way to the big rock in front before you stop!"

The team galloped out of the forest and reached an open area. Zheng Chengyuan ordered everyone to rest at the rocks in front. Both the people and the horses were extremely tired.

"Oh my God, this is driving me to death!"

"Can we still reach the northern frontier alive? We have never had a peaceful journey!"

"I scattered a lot of food on the road! That's my life-saving food!"

The complaints of the Ruan and Zhu families rang out again. This time, not only did they feel desperate, but even the officials were caught off guard. During the exile, there were constant natural disasters and man-made calamities, and the hope of survival became increasingly slim.

Looking back, the mountaintop was covered in thick smoke and flames were raging. The mountain road was also buried by quicksand. I wonder if there were other people passing by there just now!

"Master, Master, wake up!"

As soon as she stopped, Fifth Aunt rushed to check on Mu Yiguo and saw that he had fainted again.

He was nearly shaken off the carriage due to the bumpy ride. The wound on his left leg was so deep that the bone was visible. Due to the lack of timely medical treatment and sloppy treatment, the injury became more serious.

Previously, when Mu Yifan and his team were digging weeds, they felt that turnips were inedible, so they didn't pick much. As a result, Mu Yiguo's injury was delayed!

"The master has a fever, and his wound seems to be festering and infected."

The second concubine stepped forward and put her hand on Mu Yiguo's forehead to test the temperature. She then looked at the wound on his left leg. The situation was not good. Several concubines looked at Cai, hoping that she could come up with a solution.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a god. There are no doctors and no medicine. How can I cure the old man? Don't bother. At least he can't feel any pain in his coma."

She had long given up hope on Mu Yiguo. After all, she still had a son and grandson, and a disabled husband was of no use to her.

But the Second Aunt and other concubines were extremely anxious. They had no children to rely on and could only count on Mu Yiguo. If he died, their future lives would only become more difficult!

"Fourth Aunt, how can you be so calm? Do you think the Master can make it this time?"

"Fifth Aunt saw that her face was calm, so she leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. I can only take it one step at a time and leave it to fate!"

The Fourth Aunt was not without any waves in her heart, and she was also frightened, but she was already disheartened and had accepted the reality. She knew that sighing and complaining was of no use at this moment!

"Aren't you afraid that if the master dies, we will have no way to survive?"

The fifth concubine did not dare to speak loudly, for fear of being heard by Cai.

"Don't you see the situation clearly? Now we have no one to rely on and can only rely on ourselves. Even if the master is still alive, what can he give you?"

Seeing that the Fifth Aunt was not a bad person, the Fourth Aunt said something more.

In fact, what the Fourth Aunt said was absolutely right. When Mu Yiguo was around, he was of no benefit to them. Not only did they have the worst food, they were not even allowed to ride in a carriage. After a tiring day's work, they had to rely on picking wild vegetables to feed the whole family.

Making smoked wolf meat is still despised as unpalatable. They are simply servants of Mu Yiguo. There are constant natural disasters now. Even if Mu Yiguo is healthy, what does it matter? How can he protect a concubine? It's really ridiculous!

After thinking this through, the tangle in her heart also dissipated. Yes! Now she can only rely on herself. Whether Mu Yiguo can get through the difficulties has nothing to do with her. The world is difficult, and it is not easy for women. What's the point of relying on someone who can't be trusted? After thinking it through, she also went to wait in front of Mu Yiguo's car, but her mood was completely different.

The group did not stay for too long. After a short rest, they continued on their way. This place was far away from the area affected by the wildfire, so everyone could move forward at a normal speed.

"Do you want to rest here?" Mu Yibai asked worriedly. He was worried that his grandmother wouldn't be able to take the long journey. Anyway, they were riding in a carriage, so they could catch up with the team if they set off later.

"It's okay. I just drank some water and I feel much better now." Jiang and Lin answered at the same time.

Just now they drank some spiritual spring water to replenish their energy, and the remaining ice water in the carriage was used to feed the horses. After drinking it, the horses became extremely excited and did not feel tired at all!

"Okay, let's go." The eldest son's carriage also followed. Fortunately, they changed into a comfortable carriage in advance, otherwise the journey would have been really unbearable.

"Grandma, mother, sister-in-law, would you like something to eat?" Fu Yunxi took out a lot of snacks from the space.

She had previously sent some snacks to Liu's carriage, as well as some food that would not be exposed in order to prevent being seen by others.

"I'm not hungry, Jie'er, do you want to eat something?" Everyone had just finished lunch and didn't feel hungry. They were especially considerate of Lin, the pregnant woman.

"Grandma, Mom, Xier, I'm not hungry now. Some sour plums will be enough." Lin Jie lowered her head shyly. She felt warm because of everyone's care for her, but she was also a little embarrassed. After all, the baby in her belly was too greedy.

"Sister-in-law, eat this and drink some water."

"Thank you, Xier." Lin held Fu Yunxi's hand tightly. Just now at the critical moment, Fu Yunxi held her in his arms. That scene moved her deeply. She felt very lucky to be able to marry into such a good family and have such good sisters-in-law!

"Ah——" Before everyone could react, Lin suddenly covered her stomach with one hand, frowning, as if in pain.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Fu Yunxi's hand was quicker than her mouth and she immediately felt Lin's pulse, but found nothing abnormal.

What on earth was going on? Did she need a detailed examination? It would be difficult to use the instruments in the space at this time. Fortunately, she had a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine. After the space was upgraded, she was more compatible with it.

When reading medical books, she often feels that she has mastered them, and she has become more proficient in the three techniques of observation, auscultation, and palpation.

"Ah - I seem to feel the baby kicking me, they are kicking me, Xier, come and touch it!" Lin excitedly pulled Fu Yunxi's hand and placed it on her belly.

The first time, Lin was not sure because it was her first time as a mother. She just felt her belly being pushed and was stunned. It was not until she was kicked the second time that she really felt the movement of the baby. This wonderful feeling is indescribable, it is an indescribable happiness, even happier than the last time she heard the babies' heartbeats.

"The babies are so well behaved. They are not afraid even in such a situation. They are telling you that they are safe, sister-in-law." Fu Yunxi gently stroked Lin's belly. She had just taken her pulse and the baby was very healthy.

"This is really great. Yitian and the others must be in heaven, blessing us."

"Yes! Bless Jie'er's child, bless us to marry a good daughter-in-law like Xi'er, and bless us to have a safe journey."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Luo were also very happy that they were able to escape danger this time.

Mu Yibai was outside the carriage, and when he heard the laughter of Fu Yunxi and the other three inside, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

These are the most important people in his life, and he will do his best to protect their safety!
