The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Some are happy and some are sad. The eldest wife is overjoyed, but the second wife is worried and gloomy.

Mu Yiguo had been having a high fever and his forehead was burning hot, but when the third aunt touched the unconscious Mu Yiguo just now, she found that his whole body was cold and his body temperature was far below normal, which scared her out of her wits.

"Madam, the master is in a bad condition and has a cold body. What should we do?"

"How about we go find the officers and soldiers to get medicine?"

"Yes, we can't just wait any longer. I feel like the master can't hold on any longer."

Several concubines were extremely anxious and talked at once, hoping that Cai could give money to Mu Yiguo for treatment. Even if there was no doctor now, the officers and soldiers were away all year round, so they must have regular medicines or they could ask them to find a doctor in the next town. Everyone was waiting for Cai to speak.

"We have done what we should do. The rest depends on the master's luck. We have also asked the officers and soldiers for help before! But is it useful? I have said that it is better to trouble him less."

Cai was determined and she firmly believed that she was extremely sober at this moment.

"Mom, how could you not save Dad? You have such a cruel heart!" Mu Yifan sat on another cart and yelled at Cai.

Cai trembled all over, her face full of astonishment. This was the son she raised? He actually scolded her like this for his disabled father!

She asked herself that she had given everything to Mu Yifan, and she was afraid that it would melt in her mouth. Over the years, even if Mu Yiguo was so absurd and took concubines one after another, she had never been so desperate, because she firmly believed that her eldest son and daughter were her support.

However, now her eldest son's words pierced her heart like a knife, almost suffocating her.

"Fan'er, you miss your mother so much? Over the years, how your father treated me and how I treated him, didn't you see? Now the family is waiting for food, and we have to settle down in the northern frontier. We need money everywhere. If I give the money to your father, will you starve?"

Cai was heartbroken, but these words did not move Mu Yifan.

"It's because you are incompetent and ugly that Dad took a concubine. Not only do you have no money, you also failed to take good care of Dad, and he was bitten by a wolf! I don't care, you have to pay to save Dad!"

Mu Yifan still blamed everything on Cai. In his opinion, women had a lower status than men, and it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines.

Mu Yifan's words made Cai so angry that she almost vomited blood.

"Ya'er, what do you think? Should we use the money that saved our lives to treat your father's illness?" Seeing that there was no hope of communicating with her eldest son, Cai turned to ask Mu Xianya, hoping that her daughter could understand the situation.

"Dad is in the best condition right now. If we wake him up, he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed. I'm sure Dad doesn't want to live such a life without quality."

Although Mu Xianya is only in her teens, her words are sonorous and powerful, which makes everyone in the second house secretly shocked. How could she be so heartless to her biological father!

Mu Yiguo was lying on the cart, his eyelids trembling slightly.

"Miss, you must not be so cruel! The master is the pillar of our family. If the master is gone, our family will fall apart."

The Sixth Aunt did not take the carriage and could only walk with the other concubines, but she still wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope for Mu Yiguo, fearing that if Mu Yiguo died, she would be divorced by Cai.

"It's easy for you to say that, Sixth Aunt. Then you should pay for father's medical treatment! And don't forget your identity. You are just father's concubine, not even my family member." Cai was almost suffocated by her eldest son's retort. Seeing this, Mu Xianya had no choice but to bite the bullet and argue with Sixth Aunt.

"How can you say that, Miss? I am loyal to this family. If the madam hadn't forced me to marry her with money, how could a pure girl like me be willing to marry as a concubine?" The Sixth Aunt was very dissatisfied.

"Sixth Aunt, don't forget that your family accepted the betrothal gift from my family. To put it bluntly, aren't you attracted by my family's money?"

"You...how could you humiliate me like this." Sixth Aunt was so angry that she almost fainted.

"What are you arguing about...?"

Mu Yiguo slowly woke up on the cart, and in a trance he heard his wife and children arguing about whether to save him. He never expected that he would be so cowardly at the end of his life. He tried his best to open his eyes and took a deep breath, "I'm not dead yet, do you think I'm gone?"

"Master..." The Sixth Aunt and several concubines rushed forward. Mu Xianya was riding in the same carriage with Liu at the moment and had no intention of going forward to visit.

Cai avoided Mu Yiguo's gaze. Since he had heard her, she decided to throw the can down the drain. "Master, you know the situation of our family. If you had to choose, would you be willing to use the money to fill this bottomless pit? This way, you might suffer less."

"You...you evil woman..." Mu Yiguo finally couldn't help it. As the cart shook, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered all over Cai. His eyes were wide open, glaring at Cai. Suddenly, Mu Yiguo's head tilted and he was dead.

"Master! How can you just leave like this?"

"Master..." How can we live without you?"

The Sixth Aunt and the other concubines cried together, attracting the attention of others.

"Mom, Dad is gone." Mu Xianya said calmly, not showing any sadness for the passing of her father!

Cai had a blank expression on her face. She didn't want to be like this, but she didn't know since when the second branch of the Mu family had changed.

Once upon a time, she trusted Mu Yiguo and relied on him immensely, but now, in order to save her life, she can abandon her husband and give up everything.

"Let's find a place to bury him." Cai's tone was cold, but this sentence angered Mu Yifan.

"It's all because of you, you evil woman! You're the one who killed my father, why don't you just die!"

"Husband, please stop talking..." Liu tried to dissuade Mu Yifan, but to no avail.

"If you really have filial piety, then stop making a fuss here and save some energy to dig a hole and bury your father. That would be more practical than anything else."

Cai's words hit Mu Yifan's face like a slap in the face. He stopped talking, dodging his gaze, and continued to sit on the cart and look at the scenery.

Cai chuckled, and finally looked at Mu Yiguo. Seeing his unwilling look, she tried to calm herself down and told herself that this was the best choice at the moment!

"Mu Yiguo is dead." Mu Yibai reported to the people in the carriage, his voice as calm as water.

"Alas, good and evil will be rewarded." Jiang sighed. What happened to the second house now had nothing to do with them.

"He died of illness? God, please open your eyes!" Luo hated the second wife so much and felt that it was a blessing for him to die like this.

"It should be the infection of the wound that caused his death. When he was besieged by wolves, his left leg was bitten off by the wolves. The wound was not treated properly and he did not take any medicine. The suppurative infection would cause high fever, coma, and finally death from multiple organ failure. This process is very painful."

Fu Yunxi analyzed the cause of Mu Yiguo's death. She knew that what Luo was concerned about was not the cause of death, but the manner of death...

"Xi'er is right! Not only that, Cai and Mu Yifan even had an argument over whether to save Mu Yiguo or not. After Mu Yiguo was woken up, he said something in his last moments and died with his eyes open."

Mu Yibai added that although the distance was far, he already had a general understanding of the situation of the Second House. The Second House was now like a pile of loose sand, and they even hated each other.

"God is merciful! Xier, let's have an extra meal tonight to celebrate the fact that my grandchildren have survived this disaster!" Mrs. Luo was in a very happy mood and wanted to celebrate.

"Okay, mother, our lives will get better and better."

"As long as our family stays together, things will get better and better."

"Yes, our family will be together forever and live happily!"
