The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Why are you so happy, Xier? Why not share it with us?"

When Mu Yibai saw Fu Yunxi staring at the rainbow, he guessed that she must have some unique insights.

"I just thought of another legend, which is very different from what my mother heard. According to the legend, rainbows appear after wind and rain, and have seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. It is a sign of good fortune, and it also means that after going through hardships, you will eventually encounter beauty."

Fu Yunxi told everyone about her understanding of rainbows in her previous life.

In fact, with the evolution of the times, humans have discovered the cause of rainbows, which is an optical phenomenon caused by the refraction of sunlight.

However, people still love to give it beautiful images, which shows that human beings are full of romantic feelings and firmly believe in the charm of mythology.

She hopes to share this gorgeous myth with everyone, rather than the rainbow that absorbs water.

"Listening to Xier's words, it does make sense. This rainbow does appear after a storm. Instead of viewing it as a water-absorbing monster, it is more practical to appreciate its beauty. The more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes."

"Yes! This is the first time I have heard such a novel explanation in my life. It seems to be quite wonderful. It makes people feel happy. The new ideas of young people are better."

Not only did Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Jiang agree with him, but Aunt Jiang and others also felt that what Fu Yunxi said made sense.

Seeing the rainbow, even the muddy roadside scenery becomes pleasant!

Fu Yunxi bought another cushion for Lin Jie. She was pregnant now and it was really hard for her, so everyone was taking good care of her.

The brothers Mu Yibai, who were sitting on the shaft of the cart, felt more relaxed after hearing Fu Yunxi's unique insights on rainbows.

That’s right, the Mu family will definitely be able to overcome hardships and finally see the rainbow.

"Boss, look over there, is there a flash flood?"

Huo San, who was at the back of the team, was the first to notice something was wrong. He was worried about Cai and the others, so he sat in the last carriage to monitor the actions of the second house.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly found that there was rolling mud and rocks in the forest behind me, and the flood was roaring, rushing straight to the foot of the mountain.

Fortunately, they were far away from the site of the flash flood and were not affected.

"It is indeed a flash flood. Go to the front and tell Yi Bai to discuss whether to speed up."

Yunhuo saw that although the flash flood was coming with great force, the rain had stopped and it should not continue to expand. Moreover, their current road was parallel to the site of the flash flood, so they should not be affected by it.

"Okay! I'll go right away."

Huo San found Mu Yibai and explained the situation.

"Okay, tell Uncle Yun not to worry. We'll follow this road all the way to Guandu County and then continue on. There shouldn't be any problems."

After Mu Yibai asked Huo San to go back, he remained silent and just looked at the mountain torrent surging like a lion's roar in the distance.

This was the turning point of his life. In his previous life, his last relative, Jiaojiao, was buried in a mountain torrent. Since then, he had no relatives in this world and his heart was not troubled at all.

But this life is completely different. They have successfully avoided many disasters, everyone is safe and sound, and he has a wife who supports him through thick and thin.

Mu Yibai felt exceptionally calm at this moment. Looking at the roaring rocks and mud in the distance, he surprisingly didn't think it was so scary anymore.

Everything changed drastically after meeting Fu Yunxi.

The breeze blew up the door curtain of the carriage, and he looked through the gap at Fu Yunxi who was chatting and laughing with her grandmother and others. There was always a warm smile on her lips, and she laughed with her two sisters from time to time. He felt an unprecedented sense of happiness in his heart. He closed his eyes, suppressed the bitterness, opened his eyes again, and returned to being the Mu Yibai who was in charge of the situation in the past.

He leaned against the shaft of the cart to bask in the sun. He didn't expect that the sun would be so bright today!

"Brother, you must be very happy that you successfully escaped the flash flood."

Mu Yiheng was secretly glad in his heart that although they had experienced many ups and downs along the way, they had always managed to overcome the dangers. This time they arrived at the temple before the rainstorm came, and chose another route before the flash floods broke out. He felt that all this seemed to be God's will, and God had not cut off the Mu family.

"Yeah! Happy, I'm very happy!"

Mu Yibai looked at his naive younger brother, who has now grown into a man capable of standing on his own feet. His face has become tanned, and he looks more masculine.

The originally terrible mountain flood became a small episode on the road to exile, and no one even noticed it.

The team kept moving along the high road. The land became more muddy after the rain, and the wheels left deep ruts, but this did not affect the team's progress. After a few days of rest, everyone was more energetic to move forward!

They only made a brief stop at noon. After lunch, Zheng Chengyuan ordered to advance at full speed and try to reach Guandu County before dark.

However, when they arrived outside the city, they were shocked by the scene before them. The city gates were wide open, and the trees outside the city were filled with a large number of refugees, the number of whom was far more than when they passed through Yuanbei County.

Moreover, the condition of these refugees was even worse. They were ragged, their faces were thin, and they carried very few bags with them. They must have experienced many disasters before fleeing here.

"Boss, it seems someone is distributing porridge over there."

The second brother noticed that although the refugees were numerous and chaotic, they were queuing up in an orderly manner to get porridge fifty meters away from the city gate. It was hard to imagine how these people survived after experiencing the heavy rain in the previous two days.

"Take two people and get the documents to go to the city gate to check the situation. Remember to wear a mask."

Zheng Chengyuan was also puzzled. Guandu County was completely different from Yuanbei County. Not only were the city gates wide open, but there was also food donation. It was really strange.

……

"Brother, we are a group of exiles from the capital, less than 200 people, passing through Guandu County, and want to stop in to rest. Here is the document, please take a look.

He handed the documents to the soldiers guarding the city. He felt something was wrong when he passed by the refugees just now. Most of them looked tired and haggard, some of them kept coughing, and some had bloodshot eyes.

At first glance, he was frightened. More importantly, there were people distributing porridge in front of him. Logically, everyone should have lined up actively, but some of the refugees were lying on the ground or leaning against trees. They didn't look like they were sleeping, but more like they were unconscious.

"There is no problem with the document. However, now people fleeing famine from all directions want to rest in our Guandu County. There are too many people and we can't accommodate them all. So our county magistrate has made a rule that each person entering the city must pay ten taels of silver and have a physical examination. Those who are unwell, have a high fever or cough are not allowed to enter the city." After reading it, the officer said in a serious tone.

The second brother didn't expect that the officers and soldiers would be so greedy and demand ten taels of silver per person. No wonder there were so many refugees outside waiting for porridge. Just looking at the dozens of soldiers with swords guarding the city, it would be difficult to break in by force.

"We are escorting exiles to the northern frontier under the order of the emperor, and we are still asking for money. This is not appropriate," said the second brother.

"These are the rules. You have to follow them if you want to enter the city. There's nothing in the document saying you can enter for free."

"Then brother, wait for me to go back and discuss it. I'll come back later." The second brother had no choice but to go back and report to Yang Kun before making plans.

"Okay, the city gate will be closed in one hour and will reopen tomorrow."

"Okay, we'll be quick!"
