The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

As night fell, Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi ran towards the official residence without hesitation.

Mr. Hong's home is luxuriously decorated, comparable to a marquis's mansion. Except for its smaller size, the pavilions, towers, and rock furnishings in the courtyard are obviously carefully designed. There were two servants drinking at the door of the storehouse. Mu Yibai picked up two stones from behind the rockery and shot them at them, and the two men fainted on the ground.

Mu Yibai stepped forward and pried open the lock of the warehouse. He was not worried about alerting the enemy, because there would definitely be chaos in the mansion tomorrow morning, and they would not stay in Guandu County for long.

"Let's go." Fu Yunxi couldn't wait to see Yuan Hongwai's wealth. She opened the door of the warehouse and found that it was full of boxes. There were no shelves in the room, nor were there treasures such as porcelain, jade, and jewelry. There were only rows of wooden boxes.

Fu Yunxi took out a flashlight and asked Mu Yibai to open the box.

"Wow!" Mu Yibai opened a row of boxes easily. Fu Yunxi was almost blinded by the dazzling light and almost cursed out loud.

I saw gold neatly stacked in the boxes. There were at least hundreds of boxes in this room. No wonder Mr. Hong believed in Buddhism despite doing so many bad things. If he unfortunately passed away, this mountain of gold and silver would be given to others for nothing!

"Husband, please wait for me at the door."

Fu Yunxi asked Mu Yibai to guard the door. She waved her hand and put all the boxes into the open space of the manor. In the process, she opened a few more boxes to check, and they were indeed full of gold. It seemed that Mr. Hong had made a lot of money through various businesses, and now all of them belonged to Fu Yunxi. She was very happy just thinking about it.

"Let's go to his study." Fu Yunxi did not hesitate. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. She wanted to uncover Mr. Hong's background overnight!

Mu Yibai put his arm around Fu Yunxi's waist with one hand and used his lightness skills to carry her up into the air. The two of them disappeared into the night.

Fu Yunxi was also marveling at the wonders of Qinggong. The Qinggong and internal strength of the ancients have always been an unsolved mystery and have been lost for a long time. Modern research has found that people who practice martial arts have more powerful immune substances in their blood and have very good physical fitness, but so far no one has been able to reproduce the martial arts of the ancients.

Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi collected all the valuable and worthless items, as well as rice and flour, and grain from the warehouse to the study, kitchen, pharmacy, main room, bedroom and other rooms of the mansion. They also took away all the tables, chairs and benches that could be taken away. This familiar operation made her collect supplies so happily as she hadn't done it for a long time.

Even the horses in the stables were kept in the space. It would be a waste to leave the precious flowers and plants in the yard, so it would be better to take them away to appreciate them.

At this point, Yuanwai Mansion is almost just an empty shell. I hope I can give Yuanwai Hong a surprise tomorrow!

"Let's go to the building materials warehouse first!" Fu Yunxi was excited the whole night. She had a great harvest from Mr. Hong this time. She planned to collect wood, bricks, tiles and other building materials first because there will be extremely cold weather this year.

The temperature in the northern part of the Great Wall is lower than that in the capital. When encountering extremely cold weather, houses will definitely need to be repaired or even rebuilt, so more building materials should be prepared.

"Okay, I'll listen to my madam." Mu Yibai had no objection to Fu Yunxi's decision. The wall of the Yuanwai Mansion was meaningless to him. He held Fu Yunxi in his arms and easily flew over the wall and went directly to the warehouse to collect supplies.

"No wonder Mu Da said that Mr. Hong has monopolized the goods market in Guandu County. The scale of this building materials warehouse is almost comparable to that of a small village."

Fu Yunxi was not ignorant. This warehouse could be used as a small factory in modern times. It was surrounded by a huge wall and had many rooms inside. Wood was large and could not get wet, so it was stored in the rooms.

Fu Yunxi was not polite at all. With a wave of his hand, he put all the wood, bricks, tiles and other materials into the space!

"He is not doing a legitimate business. He is collecting ill-gotten gains with the intention of harming others. We want to teach him a lesson."

Mu Yibai was not idle either. He took Fu Yunxi to travel through the rooms. Wherever they went, they basically put everything that was useful into the space.

After collecting all the building materials, they went to the warehouses that stored cloth, medicinal herbs, liquor, needles and thread, leather, tea, cotton and linen, grain and oil, seasonings, ironware, and rouge. These warehouses were smaller than the building materials warehouses, but because they were all small commodities, the quantity was quite considerable.

Mr. Hong not only had the granary that was burned down by Mu Da and his men, but he also had another granary in the east of the city, which the two men also did not miss. It was full of rice and flour. These grains were probably stored for big business, otherwise Mu Da would not have been able to put the grain into the market.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi in the city are busy collecting supplies. Outside the city, the situation is equally exciting. Today at the city gate, Mu Xianya turned against Cai and others and exposed their illnesses. Since then, the mother and daughter have completely turned against each other.

Cai resented Mu Xianya and Mu Yifan, thinking that they were just as selfish and ungrateful as Mu Yiguo.

Mu Xianya, however, believes that there is nothing wrong in doing whatever it takes to survive in the face of disaster. In this way, the conflict between the two is completely intensified!

"Madam, what should we do now? I'm afraid it was Zheng Chengyuan's order to ban us from entering the city."

Sixth Aunt's health was getting weaker and weaker, and her situation was extremely critical. They never expected that Yang Zheng Chengyuan would abandon them. It was his duty to escort them to the northern border. Wasn't he afraid of being blamed by the court for doing this?

"What else can we do? We can't just wait here to die! We are infected with the disease!"

"Shut up! It rained heavily a few days ago, and we just caught a cold."

"Then are the others also suffering from the cold? Aren't you just leaving us here to die?"

"Stop arguing and think carefully about who is the reason why we cannot enter the city."

Cai seemed to be thinking about something and ignored Sixth Aunt's words.

The other concubines started chattering, and some even stared at Mu Xianya indignantly, while Mu Xianya leaned against a tree to rest, with her eyes closed, and was not disturbed by their discussions at all.

Liu was still looking after Mu Yuanzhang, but Mu Yuanzhang still had a high fever and remained unconscious. It was likely that he was in great danger!
