Yu Die did not feel any jealousy or dissatisfaction. She was not so crazy as to be jealous of a little girl.

"The baby is very good and cute. She is innocent and straightforward, which is a quality that many people here don't have."

Talking about Mu Baobao, Sang Ye's expression became more obvious. "That child is too upright. I'm afraid she will encounter some troubles and dangers."

Yu Die understood this. In Rongdu, where powerful people gathered, most people wore a hypocritical mask and interacted with each other based on interests.

People of integrity are often intolerable to these people.

"I think, with the Rui Palace protecting the baby, there won't be any problems."

She raised her hand to tidy up the hair by her ears. "Baby, this kind of personality is very good. If she changes, she will not be herself anymore."

Sang Ye also understood this, "The baby is still young, there is no need to worry too much about this."

Yu Die was willing to talk to Sang Ye about Mu Baobao in this way, which was considered as talking to him more.

After delivering the books, Mu Baobao was taken to the kitchen by his mother.

"Mom, why don't you let me go find my older brothers and sisters?"

She sat on a low stool and watched her mother knead the dough. "Mom, do you want to have noodle soup tonight?"

Qian's hands did not stop moving. "Can't you see that Miss Yu likes Mr. Sang?"

"We're having meat buns tonight."

"What?!" Mu Baobao was stunned. "Big sister likes big brother? How come I didn't see that?

Qian said, "...it's strange that a two-year-old like you can see that."

"You are not allowed to tell Miss Yu and Mr. Sang about this, understand?"

Mu Baobao didn't understand, "Why can't I tell you?"

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be spoken out so that big sister and big brother can be together?"

Qian didn't give her a perfunctory answer, but patiently explained, "We don't know Mr. Sang's intentions, right?"

Mu Baobao has his own theory. "We can ask Big Brother."

Qian tapped her forehead lightly, "Silly girl, what if Mr. Sang doesn't like Miss Yu?"

"Aren't you making it difficult for Miss Yu?"

"The most important thing is that this matter must first be discussed by the two adults before the matchmaker can come and propose the marriage."

"If these two people have such dealings in private, it will be bad for Miss Yu's reputation."

"Look at some girls in the village. If they look at men a few more times, won't they be called shameless by the villagers?"

This world is very harsh on women. If a woman does something even slightly wrong, her reputation and innocence will be ruined.

In that case, the woman has only two options.

One is to commit suicide to preserve the family's reputation.

The second option is to be sent to a nunnery and spend the rest of your life in seclusion.

Now, Mu Baobao understood, "So that's how it is. I can't tell big brother about that."

She had seen this happen when she was in the village.

Those people in the village cursed me so harshly.

Qian said, "It's good that you understand, darling."

When Miss Yu came, she guessed that she was not just here to look for the baby.

When she learned that Miss Yu and Mr. Sang were having a good conversation, she understood what was going on.

Mr. Sang is indeed a very good man.

"Mom," Mu Baobao strolled in front of her, "Can we help big sister?"

"Big sister and big brother are both good people. It would be a good thing if they were together."

Qian gently advised, "Baby, no."

"Mom, why not?"

"Baby, even if you are Mr. Sang's student, you can't interfere in his emotional affairs."

"I didn't interfere."

"Baby, if you want to bring Mr. Sang and Miss Yu together, you are interfering in his relationship."

Baby Mu squatted there, thinking with his little head for a while before he figured it out. "Mom means I can't do anything?"

Qian hummed, "Baby, you think so."

"If someone insisted on arranging a marriage between your elder brother and a girl like you, would you be happy?"

"Your eldest brother may not like this girl."

Mu Baobao said with an "oh" in understanding, "I won't be happy."

"Big brother may not like it. It's not a good idea to try to match him up with that girl."

"So, I can't unilaterally match up the older brother and the older sister."

Seeing that she understood, Qian was relieved. "Baby, Mr. Sang's marriage is decided by his family elders. Don't worry about it."

Mu Baobao agreed.

Although it’s a bit regrettable that the older brother and older sister can’t be together, mom is right, she can’t control it.

……

In an alley not far from the Mu family, there were two sneaky people.

"Are you sure you saw clearly that a white tiger entered this house?"

"I saw it clearly. It was a pure white tiger cub without any stray hairs. It went into the house and never came out again."

"If that's the case, we have to find a way to get this white tiger. A pure white tiger can be sold for a lot of silver."

"Going there tonight?"

"It's not very safe. I heard that this family has strong backers, and if we're not careful, we might get into trouble."

"What are you afraid of? Let's go there at night and knock everyone out with drugs. Then no one will know it was us who did it."

"Okay, let's do it."

The two men didn't notice that a mouse flashed by in the darkness.

……

at dusk.

Mu Pingping and his children came back dejected, and even the usually energetic Mu Niu Niu looked listless.

"Brother, did you do well on your quiz?" asked Mu Baobao.

Mu Pingping and the others felt as if their sore spots had been hit. They froze completely, even their expressions froze.

"You really didn't do well on the test." Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or get angry. "Baby told us that you have a quiz today and you might not do well on it."

“At first, we didn’t quite believe it.”

"Now it seems that the baby is right."

Mu Baobao corrected him, "Grandma, it was big brother who said that, not me."

Zhu stroked his fur and said, "Okay, okay, that's not what you said."

"Everyone, sit down and eat." Father Mu said, "It's just that you didn't do well on the test once. It's not like one test will determine your life."

The family sat down to eat and chatted while eating.

Zhu used chopsticks to pick up a meat bun and some pickles for Mu Baobao.

"Pingping, Mr. Sang sent a book and said it would be useful to you."

"I left the book in your room."

"After dinner, you can watch it with your brothers and review the exam."

Mu Laodi took over the conversation and reminded them, "You brothers must remember that Mr. Sang treats you well only for the sake of the baby."

Mu Pingping and the other children took note of it.

They will always remember that it was the baby who gave them the opportunity to study and enter the Imperial College.

If it weren't for the baby, they wouldn't even have the chance to go to school.

Baby Mu whimpered and took a bite of the meat bun, "Milk, there's meat, lots of meat."

She handed the meat bun with a missing piece of meat to Zhu and said, "It's delicious."
