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

Xiao Yuxi reached out and grabbed the parrot.

"Oh, little kid, what do you think you're doing? Let go of your dirty hands! You've dirtied my beautiful feathers!" The parrot flapped its wings frantically, trying to escape, but Xiao Yuxi held it tightly.

“XiXi’s hands aren’t dirty at all!” Xiao YuXi retorted seriously to the parrot’s words.

"Ha, children are the best liars!" The parrot tucked its wings in, shook its head, and held its head high, looking down at her with disdain.

"XiXi doesn't lie!"

"lie!"

Mu Yunchen handed Xiao Yuxi a box of prepared birdseed.

Xiao Yuxi let go, and the parrot quickly flew back to its perch, proudly raising its head.

He's the smartest parrot out there, unlike any of those ordinary ones!

How can you let a little kid hold your hand and play with you!

He's a parrot with the purest bloodline!

Xiao Yuxi took the box from Brother Potato and opened it.

A unique aroma wafted out...

The parrot flew over quickly, landed on her forearm, tilted its head, and praised her generously, "Oh, what a beautiful and adorable little girl!"

"Look at this little face, so fair and clean. Look at these hands, so delicate and beautiful."

"Oh, this is the first time I've ever seen such an exquisite beauty!"

"I'd love to offer you our store's latest specialty product!"

The parrot rattled off all its words in one go, then suddenly realized it had said too much and choked up.

Xiao Yuxi pouted, "Bad person!"

"But you just said my hands were dirty and that I was lying!" Xiao Yuxi glared at the parrot.

She holds grudges extremely well!

snort!

"Nonsense! Nonsense! I never said that!" the parrot vehemently denied.

"You did! You just said that!" Xiao Yuxi looked at him with a wronged expression.

The parrot turned its head to look at Mu Yunchen, who was standing to the side watching with great interest, and pointed at him with one wing.

"We were just talking about him! We were talking about him!"

Mu Yunchen: ? ? ?

Is this how people are allowed to insult each other just for a meager living?

Let's find a chance to stew and eat the parrot...

When Musiliao entered the courtyard, she saw her cousin and the third young master standing there, with a parrot eating nearby.

She had just been released from confinement today when she heard the news that the body had been discovered.

However, it seems that Princess Lanyue vented her anger in the wrong place, burning down those areas directly.

But yesterday, the little boy was also among those who knew she had committed murder.

She was thinking of going to her cousin's place to see the little boy from yesterday, and also to ask if the woman from last night had killed her.

"Third Miss." Yingrui saw her and instinctively stood in front of Xiaoyuxi to protect her.

The main reason was that the incident involving the eldest son's wife left a deep impression on her, and she had no good feelings towards these illegitimate sons and daughters.

Musiliao was used to being treated this way and wasn't annoyed at all. She chuckled and asked, "Why are Xixi's eyes a little red and swollen today?"

Xiao Yuxi stared blankly at her, rubbing her eyes. "Xixi doesn't know either." Xiao Yuxi turned to Potato Brother, "Xixi's eyes are very swollen?"

Mu Yunchen waved his hand dismissively, "It's not like we haven't had swelling before. It'll be fine in a couple of days, no need to worry about it."

The parrot looked up at her attire.

A woman in a white dress, with only a single hairpin in her hair, shouted in a shrill voice, "Hypocrite! Hypocrite!"

Upon hearing what the parrot said, Musiliao's face turned deathly pale, looking terribly ugly.

"We've been exposed! We've been exposed!"

Mu Yunchen, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He used tongs to pinch a small worm and fed it to the parrot.

He happened to pass by that shop the last time he skipped class. There was a woman there who was grabbing a woman in white and saying that she had lost her husband and was wearing mourning clothes to seduce other men's husbands.

The scene was quite chaotic at one point.

These words were probably learned by the parrot from passersby.

The more I learn, the more diverse my interests become.

Musiliao clenched her dress, forcing a smile as she said, "This parrot is quite cute, but I wonder who taught it to say something that's not really suitable for keeping as a pet? Won't Madam be angry? Why don't you take it away quickly?"

With a few words, Musiliao pinned the blame on the servants who served their master.

Xiao Yuxi protected the parrot, shouting, "Yuxi! You can't take it!"

It was the first time she'd ever seen a talking animal! She was so interested! But after playing with it for only a few minutes, they wanted to take it away—how boring!

Mu Yunchen glanced at her, and it took him a while to realize her identity.

The daughter of that Aunt Xu.

It seems I got married in my previous life, but I don't remember who I married.

He must be a minor official.

"When did it become the turn of a concubine's son to discipline the servants in the madam's courtyard?" Mu Yunchen mocked with a smile, every word cutting to the heart.

Musiliao lowered her eyes, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Scheming! Scheming! Pretending to be wronged!" The parrot flew around once and landed on Xiao Yuxi's shoulder, craning its neck to indicate to Mu Yunchen that it wanted to give him another treat.

He just said something to this guy again! Shouldn't he give him a reward?

Present it to me immediately!

Seeing him craning his neck and opening his mouth, Mu Yunchen smiled and fed him another one.

Little Yu Xi raised her head and looked at her third sister, who had suddenly appeared here for some reason, with some confusion. "Third sister, is there something you need?"

Musiliao took a few steps forward, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Is that young master here today?"

Xiao Yuxi instantly understood what she meant, but...

"I didn't see Xixi today?" Xiao Yuxi looked at Yingrui. "Where did Brother Xiaoxian go today?"

"Young Master Xiao Xian said this morning that he had some things to take care of and needed to go home. He also said he would bring back some local snacks for Miss Yingrui," Yingrui said with a smile.

Xiao Yuxi nodded, then turned to look at Mu Siliao, "He's not here!"

Musiliao was a little stunned. This person left so quickly. Could it be that the matter wasn't properly handled?

That woman must not be alive, right?

We should just take action directly...

Musiliao's eyes held a hint of anxiety.

"She's trying to do something bad! Trying to do something bad!" the parrot shouted crisply, flapping its wings.

In an instant, all the maids and guards in the courtyard who were originally performing their duties looked up at her.

What kind of bad thing are they planning to do?

Musiliao was suddenly exposed of her true feelings and felt extremely flustered.

He shook his head violently. "No... this parrot is talking nonsense. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Musiliao fled quickly, but in the eyes of the servants, this was practically solid proof.

Sure enough, the cousin and the illegitimate daughter should not be allowed to have contact.

These illegitimate daughters have all learned bad habits from those concubines; I wonder what wicked schemes they're plotting!

-

Mu Yunchao, covered in soot, carried out a bucket of water and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the fire was finally extinguished.

He had just arrived at the lake shore when he learned from Xie Yaochuan that Princess Lanyue had left, and he immediately rushed in the direction she had gone.

Despite rushing, we were still a step too late.
