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

When Yingrui entered the room in the morning to wake the young master, she found something strange. She picked up the cloak that was on the wooden stool, unfolded it, and saw that there were drag marks on the cloak and that it was half wet with dirty water. Her expression became even stranger.

He secretly pondered that this length should not belong to the young master.

Yingrui put the clothes away and gently woke Xiaoyuxi.

Xiao Yuxi hugged the blanket, buried her head in it, and whimpered as she tried to avoid Yingrui's hand.

She went to bed very late last night!

sleepy……

The Duchess smiled and walked over, pulling Xiao Yuxi up with her hand. Xiao Yuxi rested her head on the Duchess's shoulder, nuzzled against her, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

"So sleepy?" The Duchess gently pinched the little girl's pouting lips and shook her head helplessly.

The little girl was so sleepy that she buried her head tightly in her aunt's neck and refused to move.

The Duchess gently patted her back, then turned to Yingrui and instructed, "Tell the Second Young Master that Xixi will not be attending morning classes today."

Xiao Yuxi vaguely heard this and replied somewhat unclearly, "Yes, I'm going."

"Alright," the Duchess gently patted her back, coaxing her, "It's okay if you don't go this time."

The Duchess's maidservant rushed in and whispered, "Madam, the Second Young Master just came to say that Miss Cousin will not be attending her class today."

The Duchess paused slightly, then carried Xiao Yuxi out. Looking at Mu Yunchao's servants in the courtyard, she asked with some surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Reporting to Madam, Princess Lanyue is in the front hall. She says that Prince Yan, who was drinking with the Second Young Master yesterday, did not return home last night, and his two servants have also disappeared. She demands an explanation from the Second Young Master."

A hint of mockery flashed in the Duchess's eyes. "Everyone knows what kind of person her son is. They could go look in those brothels; he might be in one of their beds."

In his previous life, he died in the middle of the night, along with his two servants, in the pavilion. When others found them, their clothes were missing, and it was eventually determined that a woman had done it.

Enraged, Princess Lanyue had the entire Yanliu Alley leveled, all in an effort to find that woman.

The Duchess's smile faltered.

The days since I died in my previous life are roughly these few days.

The Duchess looked at the flower buds growing in the courtyard, her expression growing cold.

Indeed, it was during those few days that the flowers had just begun to bud.

The Duchess's expression grew cold, and she asked with some doubt, "Didn't anyone report this to the authorities today?"

"Report to the authorities?" The attendant asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is it a problem with the Mu family's shop, or has something serious happened? Princess Lanyue didn't report it to the authorities either..."

The Duchess placed the baby Yu Xi into Ying Rui's arms. "Let Xi Xi sleep a little longer. Don't go running around today. These are turbulent times, it's best to stay out of the way."

"Yes."

-

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will not let this go!" Princess Lanyue sat on the main seat with a fierce expression, tears streaming down her face.

She only had this one son, while her concubines' sons kept being born one after another. She killed off a bunch of them, but another bunch kept coming.

But at least her son firmly held onto the position of heir apparent.

But what if something really happens to her son?

Mu Yunchao was quite helpless. Early this morning, Princess Lanyue barged into the Mu family and insisted on asking him questions.

“Yesterday, I had drinks with Brother Yan, Brother Xie, Brother Cheng, and Brother Ren. I was the first to leave and didn’t spend much time with Brother Yan. Why don’t you go and ask the other three…”

"I don't care! Summon all three of them here! Do you think those third-rate families can expect me to come and hold them accountable? The Mu family must give me an explanation." Princess Lanyue interrupted him directly, acting extremely arrogantly and unreasonably.

Those third-rate families won't do...

We have no choice but to go to the Mu family...

Who knows where that guy surnamed Yan went off to fool around...

If Xie Yaochuan hadn't pulled him over, he wouldn't have bothered sitting there for even half an hour.

Mu Yunchao inwardly grumbled, but could only force a smile and order his servants to call over the friends he had drunk with the day before.

"The orders have already been given. Is the princess satisfied?"

"What's your attitude?!"

Mu Yunchao: ? ? ?

"Why is the princess so angry?" The Duchess walked in with a light laugh and sat down next to the princess without any hesitation.

The princess, who had initially been somewhat arrogant, became somewhat subdued upon seeing her. She remarked, "Why isn't the Duchess here instead of going to her vegetarian retreat and chanting Buddhist prayers?"

She had heard that the old lady of the Mu family and the Duchess had recently been keeping quiet, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and leaving all the household affairs to the steward.

Why did she come over again as soon as she arrived?

"Of course, it's because of the princess's esteemed presence. I'm afraid that I, a junior, might not be able to entertain her properly." Although her words were extremely considerate, she didn't look at Princess Lanyue at all, but just silently sipped her tea.

Having lived two lives, she had long since figured out what kind of person Lan Yue really was.

She's a paper tiger, only daring to bully those younger than her. If the other party is even slightly fierce, she'll be too scared to retaliate and will mutter a few words behind her back.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied so badly by her husband.

However, most people dared not oppose her in the face of her title of Princess Lanyue.

That's why Princess Lanyue earned the reputation of being a shrew in the capital.

“Since Chao’er has already called for help, Princess Lanyue doesn’t need to be so anxious. These are all respectable people. Do you really think they would get drunk and kill someone? Xie Yaochuan is from the Dali Temple; he wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.” The Duchess reassured her with words.

"My son is the Minister of Justice! The conflict between the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice has been going on for a long time! How can I not be anxious!" Princess Lanyue angrily tugged at the beads on her skirt, tears streaming down her face, and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

Don't you know how your son got that official position?

Since he didn't even attend the morning court session, the work of the Ministry of Justice was done by the adjutant alone.

They've spoiled him so much, do they really think their son has a grudge against the Dali Temple?

The Duchess thought to herself, looking at her pitiful appearance, and suddenly remembered how she looked when she found out that Yun Chen's leg was broken in her previous life.

My heart ached.

Although he's not very successful, he's still her own child, just spoiled.

If she really died like she did in her previous life, she would truly be pitiful...

The Duchess took the handkerchief from the maid and handed it to Princess Lanyue.

"do not Cry."

"Mind your own business!" Princess Lanyue snatched the handkerchief from her hand and gently wiped her eyes, afraid that her makeup would be ruined by crying.

The Duchess's temples throbbed violently.

You get all excited when you get a little sunshine...
