Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

(General's Mansion)

Mu Qingli saw her brother at dinner. The boy, who was only a head taller than her, had a handsome appearance, but his eyes were always gentle, doting and concerned when he looked at her.

"Ah Li, are you still feeling bad? It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you."

Mu Qingli shook her head, and when her eyes swept over his knees, there was a hint of heartache and disapproval in her eyes.

"I slipped and fell, it has nothing to do with my brother. You are not allowed to punish yourself in the future, otherwise I will never talk to you again."

Mu Fushu had always doted on her and didn't dwell on this topic, so he smiled and nodded immediately.

The harmonious and close atmosphere between the siblings also made Cheng Qin's expression ease a little, but he still warned the two children seriously.

"This incident should be considered a lesson for you. From now on, you two are not allowed to play near water. If you do it again, you will kneel in the ancestral hall."

"I'll listen to my mother. I'll have someone get some medicated oil to rub my brother's knees later."

Mu Qingli immediately expressed her obedience, and was worried about her brother's knees that had been kneeling for a long time.

"Don't worry, I've prepared everything. It's more important than anything else for you to eat well and take care of your body. Otherwise, when your father comes back, you won't be able to get out of bed."

Cheng Qin glared at her and handed her a bowl of vegetarian porridge, stirring it carefully a few times for fear that she would get burned.

Her father at home spoiled her the most but also cared about her health the most. If he knew that she had fallen into the water, he would probably not let her go out to get some fresh air for a month or two.

Mu Qingli nodded sullenly, gave her brother a secret look before settling down to eat.

Cheng Qin didn't care about the quarrel between the brother and sister. She watched them finish their meal and then hurried to the kitchen to watch over the medicine soup that her daughter was going to drink later.

There is no shortage of servants in the house, but she is always used to doing things for the children herself.

As soon as she left, Mu Qingli pulled her brother and ran to her room, trying to avoid the adults' sight and whisper to her brother.

"Ah Li, take your time. You're still sick, and I won't run away. Talk to me slowly if you have anything to say."

Mu Fushu comforted his sister somewhat helplessly, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not enter his sister's boudoir.

Knowing that he valued the gift, Mu Qingli half-pulled and half-dragged him in.

Qiu Jin, the pretty personal maid who was only a few years older than her, noticed something and pulled the maid beside her to bow slightly to the two of them.

"Miss, you must have something to say to the young master. Don't worry, just say it. The servants will be guarding outside."

Mu Qingli stared at them, nodded seriously, and lowered his voice.

"Clear everyone out, and stay away. Don't come over to disturb me unless I tell you to."

There were only two first-class maids around her who grew up with her. Unfortunately, she failed to protect either of them in her previous life. Qiu Jin, who was skilled in martial arts, died while protecting her, and Qilan, who knew medicine, was brutally abused.

She will remember every blood feud and will never repeat the same mistake again in her life! Everything starts from today!

Qiu Jin agreed with a smile. Although she felt strange, she was tactful and did not ask any more questions. She took Qilan and moved away from the guards nearby.

This series of actions made Mu Fushu confused, and he tilted his head to look at his sister curiously.

He always felt that his sister was a little different after she got sick. She didn’t seem to like laughing as much. Was it his illusion?

After closing the door, Mu Qingli turned around and talked to his brother, bending down with a solemn expression.

"Brother, let's be frank. I want the Taixu Order in your hand!"

Mu Fushu was startled by his sister's sudden bow. He subconsciously reached out to help her up, then frowned in confusion, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so polite to my brother? But...how did you know that the Taixu Order is in my hands?"

Some time ago, he saved an old beggar by chance. The old beggar gave him something and said it was called Taixu Order, and told him to keep it well because it would be of great use in the future.

He didn't want to accept it at that time, but when he turned around, the man was gone, so he had to keep it. Later, he vaguely heard that it was a treasure, so he planned to use it as a gift for Ali's next birthday party.

But he hasn't said it yet, how did Ali know?

Mu Qingli hesitated for a long time before she whispered to him, revealing things about her past life half-truthfully.

"Brother, I had a dream when I was sick. In the dream, when I was eleven years old, you gave me the Taixu Order and the Snow Fox as a birthday gift.

Later, Daddy adopted a daughter, who teamed up with a traitor in the family to frame the Mu family and accused them of treason. You and Daddy died in battle, and Mom suffered a series of blows and became seriously ill and died.

It was not until I opened my eyes again that I realized how stupid I was before. I didn't want to tell you these things, but your brother will have to shoulder the responsibility of the family in the future, so there is nothing wrong with you knowing these things in advance.

Fame and power are like a raging fire; there will always be a day when they hurt people. We must plan ahead! Don't tell mother about these things and make her worry, but I really need that Taixu Order."

She held her breath nervously, waiting silently for her brother's reaction.

Who would have thought that all I could see was his eyes slowly turning red, his voice becoming a little hoarse with a hint of crystal clearness.

".....What about you? What was your ending in that dream?"

For some reason, Mu Qingli felt a lump in his nose and looked away inexplicably embarrassed before speaking softly.

"I.....I killed myself because I had no family."

The next second, she was embraced by Mu Fushu in his arms. Just as she was stunned, a pair of big hands came down from above her head and stroked her head, comforting her clumsily.

"I'll bring the Taixu Order to you later. Don't be afraid, Ah Li. I'm here. I'll protect you, forever!"

Mu Fushu's eyes were filled with extreme sorrow, his lips were tightly pursed and his expression was grim.

He knows his own sister well. She is passionate, proud, and occasionally spoiled, but she will never commit suicide, unless... she is completely desperate. That dream must be a nightmare for Ali, right?

No wonder... No wonder I felt she was different the first time I saw her...

These cries of "don't be afraid" finally made Mu Qingli close her eyes, and tears rolled down and soaked her brother's clothes.

She is no longer a child, but her brother is the person she depends on the most. Let her indulge herself one last time because of the nightmares in her past and present lives. But from now on, tears are the most useless thing to her.

Mu Qingli indulged herself for less than half a minute, then turned her head to wipe away her tears, stepped out of her brother's arms, and raised a faint smile again.

"Don't worry, brother. I'm fine. We will all be fine."

"Ah Li, you're still sick, so don't worry too much and take good care of yourself. I promise I'll help you with whatever you want to do. Leave the things at home and outside to me, okay?"

Mu Fushu looked at her with heartache in his eyes.

Mu Qingli smiled and nodded, then playfully tilted her head to change the subject.

"Brother, don't worry about me for now. My adoptive father will be back in Beijing in two days. You should think about how to deal with him first."
