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

As for the child's accusations of treason and betrayal, Wan Siyan didn't take them to heart at all. After all, it was their freedom to say whatever they wanted about those baseless rumors.

However, what bothered him most was the problem with his legs...

Wan Siyan gently tapped the armrest of his wheelchair, and suddenly, a person dressed in black appeared beside him like a ghost.

Wan Siyan's gaze was fixed on the two children who had long since disappeared, his eyes gradually turning cold. "Where did these two children come from?"

"Your Excellency, these two are the third young master and his cousin from the Mu family in the capital. Today, they were taken out for sightseeing by Xie Yaochuan, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. This Xie Yaochuan is the eldest young master of the Xie family, who once achieved the third-highest rank in the imperial examination and has a close relationship with the second young master of the Mu family. However, according to the information I have gathered, his academic achievement seems to be somewhat undeserved."

“Oh? Xie Yaochuan…” Wan Siyan’s lips curled up slightly as he chuckled softly, “To be able to have such a close relationship with Mu Yunchao, this person must be no ordinary person.”

Then, he looked up at the guards standing respectfully to the side and asked, "They were just in front of that courtyard gate. Did you check whether they entered the study?"

"I have thoroughly checked the room and found no signs of intrusion," the guard quickly replied.

No one broke in?

Too……

It's just two little kids...

-

Xie Yaochuan stared wide-eyed at the thick ledger that Mu Yunchen had copied, finding it hard to believe.

Originally, he didn't have high hopes for this operation, thinking that they might only be able to barely make copies of a small portion of the accounts, or even not be able to find the account books at all, or even be given fake account books by someone.

However, they actually managed to make a copy of the entire ledger. And this appeared to be the genuine original ledger!

Xie Yaochuan's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side, where Xiao Yuxi had already fallen asleep, hugging her parrot, and was sleeping soundly; while Mu Yunchen playfully poked his sister's rosy cheeks with his finger, a mischievous smile on his face.

Xie Yaochuan remained silent...

Neither of these two children seems like the type to do something like this...

A crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.

Xie Yaochuan was startled. He quickly hid the ledger in his hand, then looked up at the door, a slight smile playing on his lips, and gently opened the door.

Wan Peng smiled broadly, his eyes revealing a hint of flattery and obsequiousness, and said with a grin, "Young Master Xie, I was worried that you were too lonely by yourself, so I brought you a small gift."

As he spoke, he pulled the woman beside him to his side and continued, "She is my illegitimate daughter and is not yet married. I thought that you, Lord Xie, must be lonely at night, so I had her come to keep you company and help you pass the time."

The girl curtsied softly and called out in a sweet voice, "Thank you, sir. I am Wan Lian'er. I hope you will take pity on me."

Xie Yaochuan's smile suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in place. The curve of his lips flattened quickly, and the smile in his eyes vanished without a trace.

He stared expressionlessly at Wan Peng, who was trying to arrange a marriage between them, pointed behind him, and said in a low voice, "I have two children to take care of! I just managed to get that little girl to sleep. What you're doing is probably not appropriate, is it?"

Wan Peng, still smiling, gently shook his head and replied in a low voice, "I have been to the capital before and am naturally aware of Lord Xie's preferences. Please rest assured, a room has been specially prepared for you."

Xie Yaochuan suppressed his displeasure and stared at the other person with a forced smile.

He knew in his heart that although he intentionally made others think he was an incompetent man who indulged in sensual pleasures all day long, it did not mean that he could tolerate someone casually pushing a woman into his room.

Moreover, at this moment, he must continue to maintain this image of a spoiled young master and not let anyone see the slightest flaw.

I need to think of a way to refuse him.

Xie Yaochuan cleared his throat and explained with a smile, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but it's just that my status makes it inconvenient. After all, I'm not married yet, and if I were to take a concubine in my room right now, it would inevitably cause gossip, and it wouldn't sound good for my reputation."

Xie Yaochuan leaned close to his ear and said, "Little brother, I still want to marry a daughter from a prestigious family. You have to think about your future."

Wan Peng grasped his hand and said with a light laugh, "You can rest assured about this matter, Lord Xie. I have arranged everything perfectly. I will keep her at home for now, and she will be sent to your residence as a maid after you get married. At that time, whether you want her to be a maidservant or a concubine, I will have no objection."

Xie Yaochuan: ...

Suddenly, Xiao Yuxi's crying came from inside the room.

Xie Yaochuan rushed back into the house, and Wan Peng gestured for Wan Lian'er to stay at the door before hurriedly following him inside.

Hearing their conversation and Xie Yaochuan's light cough from inside the house, Mu Yunchen knew that Xie Yaochuan was unable to handle the matter directly.

Xie Yaochuan always displayed this lustful nature in his past life, but he had lived with Xie Yaochuan for a long time. He knew Xie Yaochuan better than anyone else; this man had never even held a girl's hand...

He's just a pretty face...

Mu Yunchen lowered his eyes slightly, having already made his decision.

Sister Xi, I'm sorry.

He reached out and pinched Xiaoyuxi's nose.

In an instant, a loud cry came from inside the house, instantly interrupting the conversation of the people outside.

Xie Yaochuan was extremely anxious. He rushed into the room, carefully picked up Xiao Yuxi, who had just woken up, from the bed, and held her tightly in his arms.

But actually, the anxiety that had been hanging over him finally eased a little.

"What's wrong?" Xie Yaochuan asked gently in a soft voice, while stroking her back lightly with his hand.

Xiao Yuxi cried her heart out, gasping for breath. After Xie Yaochuan patiently comforted her and she gradually stopped crying, she looked up at her brother through teary eyes while still sobbing, and then looked at the chubby uncle who was not originally in the room.

Tears welled up in her eyes again, and Xiao Yuxi sobbed, her face full of grievance and fear, as she said, "There's a huge bug on top of me, and I can hardly breathe. That horrible bug is going to eat me..."

Wan Peng's face stiffened, and his lips trembled slightly. He thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just a child having a nightmare.

Xiao Yuxi pointed at Wan Peng, crying as she said, "It's like a bug this big. Waaaaah..."
