The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

Xiao Xian stopped in front of a house, and smelled a sweet fragrance. During this period, Xi Xi ate all kinds of snacks almost every day.

It could be said that her room was filled with all kinds of desserts, and her clothes and hair naturally absorbed the fragrance.

He hadn't expected that the people who kidnapped her knew how to cover up the traces, but didn't know how to cover up the smell as well.

Xiao Xian turned around and looked at the third young lady of the Mu family, who was walking towards him on tiptoe with a frown and a look of disgust on her face. He held up a finger to signal her to be quiet. Then, he quietly walked to the window.

The windows were badly damaged, and through the holes, one could clearly see inside. Xiao Xian's anger flared instantly.

Xi Xi was tied to a wooden stake, her eyes closed, seemingly fast asleep.

Xiao Xian pushed open the window, and the window, which hadn't been touched for a long time, suddenly creaked open. Xiao Xian's hand, which was pushing the window open, paused involuntarily, and he quickly looked at the person who was sleeping.

The man frowned, muttered something to himself, then turned over and fell asleep again.

Xiao Xian then flipped over and jumped inside. He quickly walked forward, pressed the person's pressure point to put them to sleep, and seemed quite incredulous.

This is going way too smoothly...

Xiao Xian hesitated for a moment, then decisively stepped forward and untied the ropes binding Xiao Yuxi. The little girl fell directly into his arms and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Xiao Xian hugged the little girl tightly, and only after confirming that she was really just asleep did he breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the person lying on the ground with some confusion.

This person?

Could this really be a kidnapping on a whim?

Musiliao cautiously approached the house without making a sound, and peeked inside. She was instantly stunned.

A bone-chilling cold spread from the soles of his feet, quickly engulfing his entire body, rendering him completely immobile. He stared wide-eyed at the woman sleeping on the ground in disbelief.

She actually survived...

Moreover, he left the Mu residence alive.

If others find out that she committed murder, her life will be completely ruined.

The image she had painstakingly cultivated in the public eye was completely destroyed...

Musiliao couldn't help but shiver, gripping the wooden window tightly with both hands, and forcefully pried the wooden frame off the window.

A splinter from the wood pierced his palm, and blood dripped down, falling to the ground.

Musiliao then felt the pain and looked at the girl that the little boy was holding tightly in his arms.

Cousin?

A strange glint flashed in Musiliao's eyes.

Are you worried that she'll go out alone at night?

Xiao Yuxi drifted into a warm embrace in a daze. Still sleepy, she struggled to open her eyes halfway, muttering, "Second Sister..."

Upon seeing that it was Brother Xiao Xian, she was slightly stunned, then suddenly hugged Brother Xiao Xian's neck tightly and sobbed softly.

Hearing the little girl's cries, Xiao Xian gently patted her back to soothe her.

After a long while, Xiao Yuxi finally stopped crying, hiccuped, wiped her face with her hand, leaving a few black marks.

Xiao Xian carefully placed her on the ground before stepping forward to rummage through the unconscious peasant woman's clothes. After some searching, he only found a few dry, hard flatbreads inside.

Xiao Xian bent down to pick up the pancake and examined it in his hand. He had been in the Mu family for quite some time, so he naturally recognized that it was a pancake made in the Mu family's small kitchen. However, the masters of the Mu family rarely ate this kind of food, and most of the time these pancakes would be left over.

Could this person have once entered the Mu family? Xiao Xian stared at the woman dressed as a peasant woman in front of him, his heart filled with thoughts of time. These were pancakes from the Mu family's small kitchen, but the masters of the Mu family rarely ate them; most of them were left there.

This person has even been to the Mu family's residence?

Xiao Xian looked at her rural peasant woman's attire with some confusion.

Xiao Yuxi walked slowly to his side, looking at the person she had called "mother" for five years lying lifeless and helpless on the ground, and strangely, she felt no sadness at all.

Although I wasn't sad, I didn't feel any pleasure either; I just felt empty inside.

She whispered to Xiao Xian, "She was Xi Xi's former mother. She said she wants to ask the Mu family for some gold and silver jewelry."

"The one before?" Xiao Xian looked at her upon hearing this, and seeing her nod seriously, an uncontrollable anger surged in his heart. His hands clenched unconsciously, and he wanted to strangle this woman on the spot.

But thinking of Xixi still standing here, he could only hold back his anger.

After all, Xixi had lived with her for five years.

After finding Xixi, he learned about her past from the maid.

He originally thought that Xixi had lived in the Mu family mansion since she was a child, enjoying a life of luxury and never having suffered any hardship.

This is the kind of life he wanted her to have.

But she was abused from childhood, and never had enough to eat or wear.

Even though she had been taken back by the Mu family for several months, she was still taking medicine to regulate her body almost every night before going to sleep. Her body was extremely cold, and if she hadn't been taking medicine every day, she probably wouldn't have been able to survive the winter.

Even so, she would still follow behind her older brother and sister every day, calling out to them sweetly, and never once complained about not wanting to take her medicine.

She just kept asking them for all sorts of sweet snacks every day, and she also liked to pester them for candy to save up for later.

She never said a word that she didn't want to take the medicine.

She was so well-behaved and sensible, so well-behaved that it made people feel sorry for her.

But clearly, her status was so noble.

How can you endure that kind of hardship?

The reason why Xixi is like this now is all because of this hateful woman in front of her!

Xiao Xian hated her to the core. If Xi Xi hadn't been here, he would have killed this wicked woman right then and there!

But he absolutely cannot make a move now. After all, Xixi was raised by him. If Xixi were to see him kill her former mother, she would surely be terrified.

After taking Xixi back to a safe place, he would return alone to personally deal with this vicious woman...

Feeling somewhat uneasy, Xiao Xian gently pressed the acupoints on the woman's body that had put her into a deep sleep. Seeing that she was completely asleep and had no chance of escaping, he turned around and prepared to leave with Xiao Yuxi.

Xiao Yuxi held Xiao Xian's hand tightly, feeling a tightness in her chest. She couldn't help but turn around and glance at her "mother" who was still sleeping there.

Mu Siliao suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. Her eyes flickered uncertainly, as if she dared not look Xiao Xian and Xiao Yuxi in the eye, but in the end she gritted her teeth and said, "This woman absolutely cannot stay."
