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

The county magistrate's eyes were full of understanding. "Let me discuss this matter further. Perhaps I can give Young Master Xie a definite answer tonight?"

Xie Yaochuan chuckled and toasted him with a glass of wine, "Then I await Lord Zhang's good news."

The county magistrate raised the cup back to him with both hands, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

The county magistrate was so drunk by Xie Yaochuan's persistent spiel that he collapsed onto the table.

Xie Yaochuan didn't even blush; he swirled the wine in his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Xiao Yuxi leaned closer and sniffed. She noticed that Yao Chuan-gege smelled of alcohol, but the liquid in his glass was not alcohol at all.

It's good that Yaochuan-gege isn't drunk.

The parrot landed on his shoulder, squawking, "Liar! Liar!"

Xie Yaochuan raised his hand and flicked the parrot away with his fingertips.

Mu Yunchen, having been reborn from a previous life, roughly guessed Xie Yaochuan's thoughts.

Imperial porcelain production was the most expensive, and Cihe County was famous for its porcelain making. They also secretly sold porcelain, especially the aristocratic families in the capital, most of whom owned porcelain from Cihe County and were proud of it.

How did it end up being the county that most readily complained about being poor?

Moreover, after searching several people's homes, they found absolutely nothing. So where did all their money go?

Xie Yaochuan wanted to enter the game by playing the role of a greedy person...

The parrot was flung away, angrily flew to Mu Yunchen's head, pawed at him for a moment, and then nestled there without moving.

Mu Yunchen sighed softly. He wondered why this parrot liked to use his hair to build its nest.

Seeing that the little girl had almost finished eating, Xie Yaochuan chuckled and asked, "Xixi, would you like to go for a walk?"

Xiao Yuxi raised her hand, "Yes!"

Xie Yaochuan was used to being stared at, so he remained calm when these people were looking at him.

But he never expected that Xi Xi was completely oblivious to the stares from these people, and happily ran to the shop to buy sugar paintings.

Xiao Yuxi happily took the three sugar paintings, handed one to Brother Potato, and then ran to Brother Yaochuan, but suddenly paused.

There was an older sister standing in front of Yaochuan.

"Is this Young Master Xie?" The girl had a round face and very big eyes, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Xie Yaochuan frowned slightly. He knew that if he appeared on the streets of the capital, he would be stopped by someone. But this was his first time in Cihe County. How could anyone recognize him?

“I met you once in the capital!” the girl explained in a flustered manner. “Back then you said I was still too young, but now I’m sixteen, an adult, and old enough to get married. I never expected to meet you again today.”

As she spoke the last sentence, the girl lowered her head, a shy blush rising on her cheeks.

However, Xie Yaochuan unexpectedly fell silent in the face of the girl's straightforward advances.

In truth, he had said similar things to countless women before; it was merely an excuse he used to evade them. At this moment, he couldn't recall who the girl before him was.

"Young Master Xie, would you be willing to consider this...?" the girl mustered her courage and spoke again.

"I'm sorry." Before the girl could finish speaking, Xie Yaochuan interrupted her without hesitation, his attitude so firm that no room for doubt.

Hearing this, the girl was clearly stunned. She stared blankly at Xie Yaochuan, her eyes filled with grievance and confusion: "I'm all grown up now..."

Xie Yaochuan was inwardly speechless at the girl's reaction, but remained outwardly calm. "Perhaps you don't know, but I got married just a month ago."

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief. "But...but I've never heard of this before!"

"That's understandable, after all, Cihe County is located in a remote area, so news travels slowly." Xie Yaochuan's tone remained cold and indifferent, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

Xiao Yuxi approached, pinched Xie Yaochuan's sleeve, stood on tiptoe, and tried her best to hand the sugar painting in her hand to her brother Yaochuan. "Brother Yaochuan, eat. Eat the candy. It's sweet and delicious."

Xie Yaochuan's icy demeanor melted instantly, and he smiled as he accepted the candy from the little girl.

The girl stared wide-eyed at the man before her, her heart sinking into an ice cellar, a chill running through her body, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"Impossible! How could you get married so quickly?" she murmured to herself, her voice trembling with disbelief.

It was as if the whole world was collapsing at that moment. She tried to grab onto something to support herself, but found that everything was so powerless.

Xie Yaochuan frowned slightly, feeling annoyed by the girl's persistence. His gaze grew increasingly cold, and he didn't even want to look at her again.

Without hesitation, he reached out and hugged Xiao Yuxi, then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Upon seeing this, the girl rushed forward, trying to block their path.

Her eyes reddened, tears welled up, but she still said firmly, "No matter what, I'm willing to be your concubine, and my dowry will definitely satisfy you!"

However, Xie Yaochuan was not swayed by the girl's words.

His brows furrowed even more, and the temperature in his eyes plummeted to freezing. "Young lady, please have some self-respect and don't demean yourself like this. Now that I'm married, I will never let her down."

After saying that, he carried Xiao Yuxi around the girl and continued walking forward.

Mu Yunchen silently followed behind Xie Yaochuan, and before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the girl a few more times. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

As the two walked further and further away, Xiao Yuxi finally peeked out from Xie Yaochuan's embrace.

"Brother Yaochuan is lying! We're definitely not married!"

Xie Yaochuan pinched her cheek, a hint of disgust in his voice. "Your face is covered in candy. Just because I'm not married yet doesn't mean I won't get married this year. What do you think of your brother Yaochuan's looks?"

Xiao Yuxi blinked. She could never keep up with what Yao Chuan was saying; often, before one sentence was finished, another would come out.

But he still managed to divert her attention, and she obediently replied, "Very handsome."

These words came from the bottom of her heart. Of all the people Xiaoyuxi had met, Yaochuan was indeed the most handsome she had ever seen.

Xie Yaochuan smiled and parted his thin lips slightly, "So, girls will probably take a second look at me because of my appearance."

Xie Yaochuan's mind flashed back to those beautiful eyes, staring straight at him, meeting his gaze.

I don't know what kind of person she likes.

Xiao Yuxi nodded blankly, not quite understanding the context of his words.

Suddenly, Xixi spotted a porcelain figurine and quickly pointed at it, exclaiming, "I want it!"

Mu Yunchen picked up the porcelain figurine she was pointing to and was momentarily stunned. It looked like Xixi in her previous life wearing a military uniform.
