Si Muyan pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "He's a rich man, we can't marry him. Aunt, I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy when she hears this, so please... tell her not to talk about it again in the future."

Previously, her second sister had eloped with someone and given birth to a daughter, sparking rumors in the village. Si Muyan ran out and made a scene, getting into a fight with several women. Although she didn't get the upper hand, fewer people spoke out against her openly after that.

Later, the Si family's life became better and better. They paid people to work and even let them do it. Everyone found that following the Si family meant eating meat, and fewer people were willing to spread rumors.

When the village head heard Si Muyan's words, she immediately understood: "Rich people always look down on us peasants. Don't be sad. Your Si family used to be nobles, and they didn't look down on them! Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. I will definitely stop others from saying anything nonsense."

Of course, we can only ask the eldest sister not to make trouble in front of the Si family. No matter how she makes plans behind their backs, we can't stop her.

"But this is not worth sending something here."

Si Muyan waved her hand and said, "No, I still have something to trouble Uncle Lizheng with."

The village head said, "What's the matter? Just tell me. We're all from the same village. How can I ignore it if I encounter it?"

Si Muyan explained: "I'm worried that my sister will be harassed again, so I want the villagers to help keep an eye on her. If the Xu family comes, just drive them out of the village and don't let them disturb my sister."

The village head was in a dilemma: "But we don't know the Xu family."

The Xu family had only been here once before, this morning when a spacious horse-drawn carriage stopped at the village entrance to pick up the Si family. Most villagers used ox-drawn and donkey-drawn carts; few had ever seen a horse-drawn carriage, and they all gathered around to take a look, all very curious.

A woman came down from above, and I heard she was a servant of the Xu family.

Si Muyan said: "That's easy. If you meet someone dressed gorgeously, just ask a few more questions and you'll know."

"No problem, leave this matter to me."

Even if you are not happy, life still has to go on. After Si Muyan returned home, she continued to draw blueprints without stopping. The dim sum shop was about to open, and she had to personally take care of the arrangements for the shop.

But even though my younger sister was in the room, she was still throwing things around and making noises, crying and cursing.

Everything else was fine, but occasionally she would even scold Si Muyan, saying that she liked to show off and thought she was the eldest sister, so she was superior to her younger sisters in everything.

Even Mrs. Zhu couldn't stand it anymore, so she carried Xiaoxiaer to see Si Muyan.

"Yan girl, don't listen to Wan girl's nonsense. She...she's upset and is taking it out on you!"

Si Muyan sighed softly and shook her head: "I won't be offended by her."

It's true that she wouldn't be offended, but it's also true that she's in a bad mood. When she traveled to this world, although she had the original owner's memories, she didn't have the original owner's complicated emotions. All her emotions towards her family were developed later in life.

The person she spends the most time with is, of course, her younger sister. From the very beginning, she has been the most helpful assistant in matters at home and outside.

Moreover, my younger sister has changed the most under her influence.

Over the past four months, they have become more than just sisters; they are important partners, the closest people to her since she came into this world. How could she not feel uncomfortable being accused like this by the person closest to her?

For three consecutive days, the atmosphere at home was filled with low pressure. My little sister did nothing but lie at home and cry like crazy.

Mr. Xu Si came once on the third day. When the villagers asked about it, they found out that he was a member of the Xu family and immediately drove him away.

The leader was Uncle Hammer, whose wife was also helping out at the Si family. After driving the Si family away, he immediately ran to the Si family to report the news.

"Yan girl, there's a man who calls himself Fourth Master Xu coming to the Xu family. We listened to you and have already driven him away."

Unexpectedly, this sentence made the younger sister, who was already crying, immediately furious. She rushed out and cursed at Si Muyan.

"Si Muyan, what do you mean? You're doing this on purpose, not letting me see Fourth Brother Xu, right? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're attracted to the Xu family's wealth and want to snatch him away. And it just so happens that Old Lady Xu likes you and can't wait for you to be her daughter-in-law, right?"

Si Muyan couldn't hold it in any longer, so she stepped forward and slapped her in the face, looking at her with disappointment: "Little sister, I pity you for being heartbroken. I didn't say a word when you were going crazy these past few days. But I didn't expect that you missed me and your elder sister so much in your heart?"

The little sister was stunned by the slap. She covered her face in disbelief and looked at Si Muyan: "You...you dare to hit me?"

"I think I didn't hit you enough, Si Muwan, you're simply unreasonable!"

Mrs. Zhu was the first to react. She immediately sent Uncle Hammer away and told him not to say anything. The others in the room also ran out and pulled Si Muyan and Xiaomei into their respective rooms.

Aunt Jin felt so distressed that she boiled an egg for her younger sister to apply on her face, but her younger sister threw the egg on the ground and crushed it.

Mrs. Zhu held Xiaoxia in her arms and wanted her younger sister to comfort her, but her younger sister scared Xiaoxia so much that she started crying.

Now everyone is at a loss.

When Si Muyan heard Xiaoxia crying, she was furious and rushed forward to scold her, "Si Muwan, you've become more capable, right? You only know how to vent your anger on others, and you even dare to vent your anger on Xiaoxia?"

The younger sister was crying, but after she yelled at her, her sobs quieted down a bit, and she only felt more wronged. But when they heard Xiaoxia's heart-wrenching sobs, no matter how the family tried to comfort her, they felt distressed and guilty.

Aunt Jin quickly coaxed Si Muyan back to the house and whispered, "Miss, the Third Miss is in a bad mood, so don't be angry with her. Alas, I have to go to the dim sum shop tomorrow. How can I be at ease with you guys like this?"

Xiaoxia was frightened during the day and developed a fever in the evening. Aunt Jin was extremely worried and wanted to ask Doctor Zhang to prescribe medicine.

But when Si Muyan brought the child over, she saw that although Xiaoxia had a high fever, she was in good spirits. She was still babbling when she saw people, but her face was a little red.

She said, "Don't call the doctor yet, Aunt Jin. Let's light the charcoal fire in my room a little brighter and get a basin of hot water. Aunt Zhu, please help me. I'll give Xiaoxia a bath."

Mrs. Zhu said in a panic, "Yan girl, the child has a fever and can't take a bath!"

Si Muyan ignored her, closed the doors and windows, gave Xiaoxia a warm bath, took off a piece of clothing, and tucked her into his quilt.

"Xiao Xia'er will sleep with me tonight. I will be careful. Don't worry."

When the second sister came back and heard that Xiaoxia was ill and what had happened during the day, she was heartbroken. She hurried to see her daughter first. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and her fever seemed to have subsided, she felt a little relieved.

"Sister, I'll stay here at night and help take care of the children."

Si Muyan waved her hand: "Don't bother both of you. Go and rest. There's some water warming on the stove. There's also goat milk here. I'll feed her tonight and she'll be fine by tomorrow."
