The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Everyone was very excited tonight, and they lit a bonfire to dry the washed clothes. All the water storage containers were filled with boiled rainwater.

She did not seem out of place in the eldest house. To avoid attracting attention, Aunt Jiang went out with the other female relatives to wash two coats, and hung them inside the curtains when she came back.

She saw Yunhuo washing clothes, but he didn't seem to care about cleaning them. He just soaked the clothes and wrung them dry. Since there was no soapberry on the road, the clothes were still wet after he finished washing.

"You can rub it again. After all, you are tired from the journey and sweat a lot. We have soap nuts. I will get them for you."

Aunt Jiang really couldn't bear to watch it, and thinking of the brotherly love between Yunhuo and Muguo, and the hardship they had suffered from traveling to the northern frontier with the eldest wife, she wanted to help.

"No need, I'll just rub it. You can keep the soap nuts." Yunhuo felt embarrassed to keep taking things from the eldest wife, so he quickly refused.

"Soap nuts are not worth much money. Today is a rare opportunity to wash clothes. They will be comfortable to wear after washing them." Aunt Jiang turned around and went back to get the soap nuts. When the people in the first room heard that they were going to be used for Yunhuo, they asked her to take more without saying a word.

Everyone treats Yunhuo as a family member, and soap beans are just nothing valuable.

"Here you go. Rub a few soap nuts on wet clothes, then rinse them with water. This should be enough to wash a lot of clothes. You can share it with the brothers in Yunmu Village."

Aunt Jiang gave Yunhuo a bag of soap beans and told her how to use them. They bought them in Beiyun Town and there were a lot in one bag.

"Okay, thank you." Yunhuo couldn't refuse the kindness, and he felt that soap beans were not a rare thing, so he took it and thanked.

"You're welcome, we are all family." Aunt Jiang smiled at Yunhuo and went back.

Yunhuo also went back after washing clothes with soap nuts, but he did not distribute the soap nuts to his brothers in Yunmu Village, thinking that grown men should not be so particular.

Everyone worked until late at night before reluctantly going to rest.

"What's wrong? Can't you sleep tonight?" Mu Yibai asked in a low voice when he heard Fu Yunxi turn over.

On the main side of the house, Mu Yibai and his wife slept on the side near the door, Mu Yiheng and his wife slept on the side near the Wang family, and the women slept in the middle.

"No, I'm thinking about something. Haven't you slept either?" Fu Yunxi had just harvested all the crops planted in the space with her mind. She found that the seeds she had purchased before not only grew rapidly in the space, but also had a high yield.

She plans to study some books related to planting, and research whether new seeds can be cultivated from the harvested wheat, corn and other grains. If she can cultivate cold-resistant and drought-resistant seeds, she will not have to worry about grain production problems when she arrives at the border in the future.

"Is it a bit cold?" Mu Yibai said as he turned around, rushed to Fu Yunxi's side and reached out to lift her quilt.

In fact, Mu Yibai would wait until Fu Yunxi fell asleep before going to sleep every night. He would feel satisfied listening to her breathing.

"It's ok, I'm not cold."

The moment Mu Yibai stretched out his hand, Fu Yunxi was stunned. She didn't know what he was going to do, so she held her breath until he covered her with the quilt and took his hand away. Then she came to her senses. This scared her, after all, there was an elder sleeping next to her, and she wondered what Mu Yibai was going to do!

"You can talk to me if you can't sleep." The two were not far away from each other. After Mu Yibai turned around, Fu Yunxi could feel the warmth of his breath and his low and magnetic voice surrounding her ears. All of this was infinitely magnified in the dark night.

"You can't sleep either?" Fu Yunxi didn't know why the villain suddenly wanted to chat with her at night, and her mind was still a little confused.

"Yeah! A little bit." Mu Yibai simply loved the way Fu Yunxi was shy and dazed. The more she was like this, the more he wanted to tease her.

"Everyone is asleep, let's not chat anymore!" Fu Yunxi always had the feeling of being caught in a relationship by her elders. If it were daytime, it would be normal for the two of them to chat, but now lying in bed, she could feel Mu Yibai's deep and focused gaze, and around her were his elders, so she felt shy for no reason.

"Hahaha! Okay, let's stop talking." Fu Yunxi's reservedness was so cute! Under the cover of the night, Mu Yibai laughed wildly, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"You laughed at me." At this time, Fu Yunxi finally noticed Mu Yibai's smile and was immediately furious. She realized that this bad guy was deliberately teasing her.

As she spoke, she raised her hand to hit his arm, but Mu Yibai took the opportunity to grab her wrist. No matter how Fu Yunxi struggled, he did not let go of his hot hand.

"What are you doing?" Fu Yunxi questioned him in a low voice, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes wide open, and a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

She tried to lower her voice. She didn't know whether her mother and the others were asleep. If she was discovered, she would never be able to face anyone again.

"Don't worry, they are all asleep, let's go to sleep." Although Mu Yibai liked Fu Yunxi's cute look, he was afraid of going too far, so he told her that everyone was asleep.

The hand holding Fu Yunxi's wrist slowly stretched out to her hand, and their fingers were interlocked.

"Ah."

Fu Yunxi felt Mu Yibai's body temperature and responded softly.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking, held each other's fingers, one lay flat, and the other leaned sideways.

On this noisy rainy night, the sleeping faces of the two are like a beautiful painting.

The next morning, when everyone woke up, it was still raining outside, the rain had not stopped, and the sky was gloomy.

As Mu Yibai expected, the rainstorm continued and everyone had to rest in the temple.

"Let's not travel today and take a day off." Zheng Chengyuan gave the order reluctantly, praying that the rain would stop, otherwise not only would the team's progress be delayed, but the road ahead would also become more difficult to travel.

Everyone was naturally happy. After traveling for such a long time, everyone was exhausted. They had countless blisters on their feet, which had now grown into thick calluses, and their shoes had been patched many times.

Seeing that the rain was still heavy, many people lay down and took a nap. After all, it is really comfortable to sleep in rainy weather.
