Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Shen Yunxi followed behind Butler Ning, walking step by step towards Fanghua Garden. Her gaze swept over every blade of grass and tree in the Shen family compound, and a feeling of familiarity mixed with strangeness welled up in her heart, her thoughts swirling. Six years had passed; she had been gone for six years. Now, stepping into this place again, everything had changed. The Shen family was still the same Shen family, but she was no longer the foolish and useless young lady she once was.

Shen Yunxi paused, her gaze falling on Butler Ning's slightly aged face. A mix of emotions welled up within her. In the Shen family, both her grandfather and Butler Ning had treated her well; her grandfather was still the same as before. As for Butler Ning…

"Steward Ning, how has everything been in the manor these past few years?" Shen Yunxi asked after a brief silence.

Butler Ning stopped, a glistening moisture welling in his cloudy old eyes. He slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Shen Yunxi, his weathered face etched with the marks of time. His lips trembled, his voice choked with emotion: "Miss, after your accident, the head of the family... he fell seriously ill, almost... almost..."

Butler Ning took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself down, and continued, "After recovering from his illness, the head of the family's health has deteriorated significantly. Other families are eyeing our Shen family covetously, all wanting to take advantage of our weakness. If it weren't for the head of the family's hard work, the Shen family... would probably have been destroyed long ago."

"Don't my second uncle and the others care?" Shen Yunxi asked, full of doubt. Six years have passed, and they still haven't gained any rights within the Shen family?

"After the Second Master took over the Shen family, he was initially quite diligent, but as time went on, his indecisive nature became glaringly obvious. He was always hesitant in handling family affairs, missing opportunities. Under his management, the Shen family not only failed to prosper but actually declined, and the family business gradually went downhill." Butler Ning sighed helplessly: "And the Second Miss has been spoiled since childhood, arrogant and domineering. In recent years, she has become even more outrageous, relying on the power of the Shen family to cause trouble outside and offend many people. Every time, it is the head of the family who has to step in to resolve the situation."

"I understand, thank you for telling me this, Butler Ning," Shen Yunxi said.

"Young Miss, are you really ready to cultivate?" Butler Ning hesitated for a long time before asking.

"Mm." Shen Yunxi nodded without saying anything more.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Butler Ning's cloudy old eyes lit up with surprise, and his previously tense shoulders relaxed, revealing a sense of relief and satisfaction. He seemed to see hope for the Shen family's resurgence; if the young lady could cultivate again, the Shen family would be saved.

He believed that like father, like son.

"Young Miss, the young lady and young master are already waiting for you at Fanghua Garden." Butler Ning bowed respectfully, his cloudy eyes gleaming with anticipation, and his tone was much lighter than before.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Butler Ning." Shen Yunxi

As she stepped into Fanghua Garden, she saw two familiar figures. Before she could say anything, they ran towards her.

"Mother, a day apart feels like three autumns, I miss you so much," Shen Ruoyu said, hugging Shen Yunxi affectionately.

"Brother, you're exaggerating too much." Shen Ruoning pouted, her bright eyes darting around, her tone slightly teasing: "It hasn't even been the time it takes for an incense stick to burn yet."

"So it hasn't even been a stick of incense yet. I thought it had been centuries," Shen Ruoyu said in a serious tone.

"That's an exaggeration," Shen Yunxi said with a smile. "I forgot to ask you all, were any of you injured today?"
