The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

It was dark outside the window. Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi finished washing up and lay on the bed chatting.

Mu Yibai hugged Fu Yunxi from behind, his big hands resting on her lower abdomen, his warm breath spraying on her neck, and his breath became hotter and hotter.

Fu Yunxi was not an inexperienced girl, so she understood his intentions. She grabbed Mu Yibai's moving hand and said, "Husband, do you want a child?"

Today, Fu Yunxi was able to understand Mu Yibai's emotions after he heard that Liu Yue was pregnant. From his complicated emotions, she sensed a hint of anticipation.

Yes, they are already married, and which husband would not want children?

"I long to have a baby who looks very much like you, but I will respect your opinion. If you want it, you can have it. If you don't want it, that's fine too."

When Mu Yibai heard Fu Yunxi's question, he hugged her even tighter, with his head resting quietly on the back of her neck.

"Well, I also want a baby who looks like you. Our family of three will be extremely happy in the future, but I don't think now is the right time. The upcoming extreme cold weather is still unknown."

"Even if we are fully prepared, it is still a natural disaster that cannot be underestimated. We also plan to wait until the spring to go to the border to find our father and brother. If we have a baby at that time, we will have to face the decision of whether to separate or take the baby with us. So I think we should think about this matter clearly before making a decision."

Fu Yunxi calmly analyzed her thoughts to Mu Yibai. In fact, during this period of time, she had been paying close attention to the safe period and the dangerous period. She deliberately avoided sharing a bed with Mu Yibai during the dangerous period, or gave herself acupuncture for contraception!

"Xi'er, I know everything. I respect you, as long as I don't hurt your body."

Mu Yibai had seen Fu Yunxi giving him acupuncture once before, and he probably guessed the purpose of her acupuncture. Therefore, from then on, as long as Xier showed the slightest resistance, he would not touch her, but just hugged her quietly and fell asleep!

"You all know?"

Fu Yunxi was extremely surprised. She turned around in Mu Yibai's arms, faced his eyes, and felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart as she looked at the person who held her in his heart at this moment.

"Well, actually you can tell me that I also think that now is not the right time to have a child. It's okay to have one after everything is settled. I still want to enjoy more time together!"

Mu Yibai looked at Fu Yunxi with deep affection, giving her endless affirmation, and then he pressed her head in his arms.

"In fact, I only gave myself acupuncture once, and it did no harm to the body. I did this because I hadn't made up my mind yet, and I was thinking of finding an opportunity to discuss this with you."

Fu Yunxi felt the passionate heartbeat in Mu Yibai's chest and gradually felt relieved. He was indeed her solid support, tolerant and understanding of her!

"Madam, don't you understand me? I listen to you in everything. If you say go east, I will never go west!"

Mu Yibai tried to calm his slightly nervous mood, and sure enough, Fu Yunxi burst out laughing when she heard it.

"Sister-in-law and Yue'er are both pregnant. I also hope to give birth to children for you soon, but..."

Before Fu Yunxi finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Yibai, "I understand all this. Many things are still uncertain at the moment. It would be irresponsible to him if we rashly let our child be born."

The wound on his leg was not a simple knife wound, but was caused by a poisonous insect that was only found in southern Xinjiang. Moreover, there was still no news from his father and brother, and many things were still unresolved. How could he let their child be born in such a hurry?

"Yeah, that's what I think too. If the child comes later, we can give him enough sense of security. It's good for the two of us now."

Fu Yunxi snuggled into Mu Yibai's arms contentedly. He always understood all her thoughts.

"Okay, but I hope all this will be done without harming your body."

Mu Yibai didn't know about acupuncture as a contraceptive method. He only knew that there was a kind of contraceptive medicine that would cause great harm to the body if a woman took it. Therefore, he was worried that the method Fu Yunxi took would also be harmful to her body.

"Don't worry! I know what I'm doing. Acupuncture won't hurt me at all. If the child can't wait to come to us, we won't resist and will give birth to it."

Fu Yunxi still has concerns about having a child, but she cannot abandon an already existing life because of unknown reasons.

Her current contraceptive method is to monitor her own ovulation period, perform acupuncture during the dangerous period, or avoid having sex with Mu Yibai. With her current medical skills, there shouldn't be any problems, but no one can be completely sure about conceiving a life, so she should just do her best and leave the rest to fate.

"Okay, just listen to Madam."

Mu Yibai understood Fu Yunxi's meaning. If God arranged for the child to come at this time, then they would just let nature take its course!

Now that the Mu family has one more person who needs special care, Aunt Jiang and Mrs. Luo don't let Liu Yue do any work.

In the past, she would help with cooking and such, but now she simply doesn't let her three daughters-in-law work, for fear that they would be too tired.

"Second brother, the county magistrate is here to see you and your second sister-in-law."

When Mu Yiheng was working in the yard, he happened to see the county magistrate coming to his house. He welcomed him into the main hall and then went to call Mu Yibai.

"Okay, here we come."

Mu Yibai and Fu Yunxi put down what they were doing and went to the main hall in the front yard. The county magistrate greeted them warmly as soon as he saw them.

"Yibai, Yunxi, I haven't seen you for a long time. You both look great! You are such a sweet newlywed couple."

The county magistrate looked at Mu Yibai and the other man coming in together. The perfect couple walking against the light was truly pleasing to the eyes.

"Thank you for your compliments, magistrate. You seem to be very happy, but what's the good news?"

Ever since Fu Yunxi learned that Lianjiang County still had half a coal mine, she felt that the county magistrate was a very capable person. Today, she saw that he was full of joy and his mental state had improved.

"Haha! That's really a great joyous event. The first batch of seeds will be harvested soon. It is expected to be a bumper harvest!"

"The grains are neatly laid out on the ground. I see the yield is quite high. I dug up a few corns and found that the kernels inside are full and much better than the corns I have grown before!"

At this moment, the county magistrate could no longer suppress his inner excitement. He excitedly described the situation in the fields to Fu Yunxi and the others. Not to mention their Lianjiang County, perhaps the entire Zhao Kingdom had never had such high-yield and high-quality grains!

"This is really a great event. Congratulations, County Magistrate! I never thought that this kind of seed would grow so well in our Lianjiang County. I have a prescription here for you to keep for the seeds."

Fu Yunxi took out the prescription that she had prepared long ago and handed it to the county magistrate. Such excellent seeds must of course be kept, as the vast Lianjiang County depended on this batch of seeds.

"Okay, okay, the crops in the fields can be harvested at any time. I wanted to come and confirm the details of seed saving with you. Otherwise, it would be a pity if such good seeds could not be saved."

The county magistrate took the prescription and asked for details about saving seeds. They had saved seeds in previous years, but those seeds were completely different from this batch. There must not be any mistakes with such precious seeds.

“Seed preservation is not complicated. The key is to store them in a dry and dark environment. The drier the seeds are, the longer they can be preserved.

Take corn for example. After people break off the corn, they peel the husk and dry it for a day. After it is slightly dry, they peel off the corn kernels and dry them for another day. Then they mix the medicine in the proportions on the prescription, and then dry it for another day before storing it. If the weather is bad, the drying time can be appropriately extended. "

Fu Yunxi described the whole process as detailed as possible. She knew that the county magistrate attached great importance to this batch of seeds. Although the current weather was not as hot as before, it was still sunny and there was no problem in drying the grain.

"Okay, then I will prepare as you said. I will save all the grain from the first batch of harvest for seeds, and put the second batch on the market after the harvest, so that everyone can have a good New Year!"

The county magistrate is now full of energy, and he seems to have seen a bright future for Lianjiang County.
