The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Seeing Mu Yibai so calm, Mu Yiguo was furious. Why do the people in the first house always think they are superior? Why can his elder brother Mu Aiguo become a general, while he is just an uneducated playboy?

Is it just because he was born out of wedlock? But now everyone is a commoner, so it's hard to say who is more noble than who.

"Don't talk nonsense! The Mu family needs to unite as one to get through this difficult time. As long as our family is together, no matter where we go, the Mu family will not break up."

When the old lady heard the second wife's nonsense, she became so angry that she shouted at her.

Mu Yiguo looked at the old lady's angry expression, then looked at the people in the first house. The eldest sister-in-law, Luo, was weak, Aunt Jiang was born a maid, there was also a disabled nephew, and two seemingly fragile daughters-in-law, Shi and Lin, plus a pregnant woman, a timid illegitimate son who dared not stand out, and two half-grown little girls, who might become a burden to their second house.

Mu Yiguo thought for a moment and said what he had kept in his heart for a long time:

"Mother, I think we should split up! Over the years, our second branch has not been valued in the Marquis' Mansion. Now that the Mu family has fallen to such a state, there is no unity at all. It is better to split up directly. My eldest brother is your biological son, so you should live with the first branch!"

Jiang was so angry that she almost laughed!

How could the second house not be valued? Over the years, no matter how outrageous Mu Yiguo had done, she had turned a blind eye. After all, he was also a descendant of the Mu family. Aiguo had earned fame and fortune, and had never treated his younger brother unfairly. Otherwise, where would he get the money to squander?

The old lady didn't expect him to say that, and she felt sad. Over the years, she had been pretty good to the second wife. She had everything the first wife had, and she had never been stingy with money, but in the end, this was the result.

She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mu Yibai: "No need to separate the family, just sever the relationship directly."

Mu Yibai's words were like a huge rock hitting the sea, causing a thousand waves.

"What did you say? Break off relations? You are so good, Mu Yibai, it turns out that you have had this idea for a long time! In this case, don't blame Second Uncle for being unfair. Break off relations if you want to. I want to see how long your eldest house can hold on. Don't come to beg us when the time comes!"

Mu Yiguo appeared angry on the surface, but in his heart he wished to sever ties with them immediately. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in this family were all a burden, and he didn't know how much money they would cost in the future. The money he had hidden with great difficulty could not be shared with them.

“Brother Bai, Jiang’s hands were shaking as she tried to step forward and hold Mu Yibai, but she was unable to do anything because the distance was too far.

Fu Yunxi hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady. She was very surprised that the villain took the initiative to propose to sever ties with her mother. After all, in the original novel, the villain was a loyal, filial and responsible young man in the early days. But she supported Mu Yibai's decision. After all, she had read the original novel and knew that there was no good person in the second house.

Half a year ago, the main villain was ambushed on the battlefield, resulting in injuries to both legs. This was most likely the work of the Second House.

Grandma, my husband has his own plans.

"Mother"

Luo stepped forward to support the old lady. She had seen what the second wife had done over the years and thought that her son had done nothing wrong.

Jiang looked at Mu Yibai's determined eyes and recalled what he said a month ago, that the people from the second house had been secretly transferring the property of the Mu Mansion. They were jealous of his status as a patriotic general and were playing tricks behind his back with despicable means.

His son is even worse. He relies on the Marquis's Mansion to do whatever he wants outside and forcibly abduct women. Such behavior is not tolerated by the Mu family's family precepts.

If Bai Ge'er hadn't produced the evidence of their wrongdoings, she wouldn't have known that the second branch had already gone astray.

Now that they have been confiscated and exiled, they must unite. If the Mu family can work together, perhaps they can still get through this difficult time! However, if there are people with bad behavior, the Mu family may fall. Thinking of this, she also agreed with Mu Yibai's words.

"Forget it. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I am already old and a burden. You will be the ones to decide my future."

Jiang thought for a moment and stopped trying to stop him. She firmly believed in Nuo'er and believed that perhaps the decision to break off the relationship was the right one!

"Since mother has no objection, let's sign the severance agreement now and go to the government to formally register it later."

When Mu Yiguo spoke, his wife Cai was more than happy to accept the request. After all, the family of the first wife would undoubtedly be a burden in the future.

After he finished speaking, the jailer who had just delivered the meal returned with a small wooden lunch box in his hand and handed it to Mu Yiguo.

"Thank you, officer. My Mu family is discussing the matter of breaking up the relationship. Could you please get some paper and pen?"

Mu Yiguo covered it with his sleeve and handed over a ten-liang silver note. This time it was serious business and he was very straightforward in breaking off the relationship with the burden.

The jailer turned and left without saying a word, probably to get paper and pen.

Mu Yiguo immediately walked towards Mu Yibai and said, "It costs ten taels to buy paper and pen, and we have to share it equally, so your eldest son has to pay five taels."

Mu Yibai glanced at everyone in the second house, and they all looked happy, as if breaking off the relationship was a happy event for them!

He took out a five-liang silver note from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Uncle, you must keep the money safe. After all, there are many officials and bandits along the way."

Mu Yibai looked at Mu Yiguo meaningfully.

When the second room opened the meal brought by the jailer, everyone was greatly disappointed. There were only six white flour buns and a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which were slightly meaty. Cai was furious. Ten taels of silver were only exchanged for these. It was really like a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog.

In desperation, everyone could only coax their grandson to fill his stomach first, and then think of other ways to improve the food.

Not long after, the jailer brought paper and pen, and warned: "Behave yourself, eat your fill. The emperor's order may arrive at any time."

After thanking the jailer, Mu Yiguo handed paper and pen to Mu Yibai and asked him to write a letter of severance.

Mu Yibai understood what he meant and called his half-brother Mu Yiheng and said, "Yiheng, you come and write the letter of severance."

He knew that this half brother was kind-hearted and had helped a lot in his previous life, but he was a little timid, which might be related to his status as a bastard. He wanted to give his half brother more opportunities to let him grow up. After all, there were only two males left in the first house, and they would be needed to support the family in the future.

Mu Yiheng took the paper and pen, quickly wrote two letters of severance of engagement, and asked the people from the second house to review them.

Mu Yiguo looked at the letter of severance, pretending nothing happened, and asked his son Mu Yifan to read it again.

Mu Yifan shook his fat body and said with embarrassment: "Dad, it's fine as long as you think it's okay. I don't know many words."

After hearing this, Mu Yiguo felt a mouthful of blood rushing to his throat. This rebellious son had never liked studying since he was young, and had done nothing when he grew up. It was all because Cai doted on him too much and spoiled him.

"If Second Uncle thinks it's okay, then let's sign and seal our marriage! When we register it at the government office in the future, we will officially sever our relationship. From now on, you and our eldest wife will live your own lives, and we will have nothing to do with each other's fortunes or misfortunes."

After Mu Yibai finished speaking, everyone came over to sign and seal their names, starting with the men's cell. Everyone, including the aunt and children, had to sign their names, and those who couldn't write put their fingerprints on them.

There are two copies, one for the first wife is kept by Mu Yibai, and the other for the second wife is kept by Mu Yiguo.
