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

Seeing the little girl's worried look, the Duchess guessed it might be due to previous mistreatment. "Don't worry, your aunt didn't punish her. She just let them chat normally. How about your aunt takes Yu Xi to eat something good first?"

Sure enough, the child's attention span improved significantly; upon hearing about delicious food, his attention immediately shifted, and he exclaimed, "Okay!"

Xiao Yuxi stared in astonishment at the breakfast spread across the entire table.

At her second sister's house, four or five dishes per meal felt like a lot. At her previous home, there were only five or six dishes at most during the Lunar New Year; on ordinary days, there was only one dish, and she wasn't allowed to sit at the table. She could only wait for her parents and younger brother to finish eating before eating the leftovers, sometimes going hungry for two or three days. She had never seen so many dishes before.

The Duchess looked at Xiao Yuxi, picked up a delicate little shrimp dumpling, and said, "This tastes extremely delicious, you should try it."

She remembered that when Yu Xi first visited the Duke's mansion in her previous life, she praised the shrimp dumplings highly, so she must have liked the taste.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuxi first took a small, cautious bite, and when she found it wasn't too hot, she shoved it straight into her mouth, her cheeks twitching like a little hamster, which was quite adorable.

After finishing the shrimp bun, Xiao Yuxi's eyes lit up as she looked at the other breakfast items, all of which were beautiful and delicious that she had never seen before!

After only tasting a third of the breakfast, Xiao Yuxi was already stuffed.

After eating until she was completely dazed, Xiao Yuxi calmed herself down and looked at her bulging belly with a little embarrassment. She pulled her short jacket down a bit and said, "Auntie, Yuxi is already full."

The Duchess stopped feeding the children with a hint of regret, looked at the untouched breakfast, and smiled. "It's good that you're full. We can savor the rest later."

The Duchess waved her hand, and a servant quickly stepped forward to remove the breakfast. A moment later, a whole row of various jewels and jewelry were brought out, sparkling and beautiful.

Xiao Yuxi jumped off the chair and stood on tiptoe to look at the plate that the maid was holding.

The Duchess coughed softly.

The maids knelt down in unison, making it easier for their young master to observe.

The head maid spoke first, "This set is a fifteen-piece gold-threaded rabbit head ornament inlaid with rubies and white jade, which was given to Miss by the old lady. The rest are the latest styles that the madam instructed to buy from Linglong Pavilion yesterday. Please take a look, Madam and Miss."

The Duchess picked up one of the necklaces given to her by the old lady and carefully hung it around Yu Xi's neck. Judging from her age, Yu Xi should be born in the Year of the Rabbit. The old lady found such a high-quality headdress in a very short time, which shows that she is very satisfied with Yu Xi.

Yu Xi looked at the white jade Buddha statue hanging around her neck and tugged at the Duchess's skirt in surprise, "Is it very expensive? Yu Xi can't accept it."

She remembered that the yellow stuff was gold, very valuable; you couldn't earn a single gold coin even if you sold a year's worth of grain.

She suddenly realized that this place really wasn't the same as where she used to live. They seemed to have plenty of food and clothing, the house was very big, and apart from her second sister, they didn't seem to be very busy.

Xiao Yuxi was a little worried. She could get so much so easily now, but what did she have to give up? Just like at home, she had to do chores all day to eat. But here, they didn't ask anything of her, which made her uneasy.

"This is only a small part. A girl's dowry needs to be saved from a young age. It will only increase in the future."

The Duchess picked up another hair ornament, looking with some regret at the little girl's short, somewhat withered, yellowish hair. If she had been born into the Duke's mansion, she would surely have had a beautiful head of black hair; it was the family that had abused her.

The Duchess lowered the murderous intent in her eyes, smiled, and gently stroked the fluffy little hairs on her cheek. "You deserve the best. It would be best if you were a little spoiled and had a bit of a temper, and didn't have to be so obedient, or your aunt would feel sorry for you."

Xiao Yu looked at her blankly, not quite understanding why she had a little temper, but following the principle of responding to what she said, she sweetly replied, "Okay~", which was incredibly obedient.

The Duchess felt a sense of joy at finally raising a daughter.

She had four children in total. The first three were incredibly calm from birth, especially the second one, who started running off to the military camp at the age of five and went straight to the battlefield when he was around ten. She remembers being so angry that she fell ill for several years before she gave birth to the fourth child, who was the third son of the Duke's mansion.

But he was the only one who was completely unruly, never stopping causing trouble from childhood to adulthood. Whenever she encountered him, she would get a migraine. So she simply stopped paying attention to him and left him with the wet nurse.

However, this is also where she feels most sorry for that child. In his past life, he, like Yunnan, went to the battlefield and was eventually framed and lost both his legs.

The Duchess suddenly stopped reminiscing, realizing she hadn't seen the child yesterday. She then asked the maid beside her in confusion, "Where's Yunchen? So many people were there yesterday, where did he go?"

"Yesterday, the Third Young Master stayed in bed and didn't want to get up. The wet nurse saw that the old lady didn't urge him, so she let him be."

"This child, call him over to meet his sister." The Duchess suddenly realized something. She had asked the little girl her birthday before going to bed last night, but the little girl had no idea what her own birthday was. Coincidentally, Yun Chen was also five years old, and she didn't know who was older between the two of them.

The Duchess picked up the baby and asked her earnestly, "Does Yu Xi prefer having an older brother or a younger brother?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Xi lowered her head and thought about it seriously for a while. Was her younger brother like Yao Zu? Recalling the scene of her being framed and beaten by her younger brother, Yu Xi shook her head rapidly in horror.

She doesn't want a younger brother!

“I don’t like my younger brother.” Xiao Yuxi placed her hand earnestly in the Duchess’s hand, looking at her with utmost seriousness as she spoke each word.

The Duchess made a decisive decision, "I'll introduce a young man to Yuxi later. If Yuxi is ever bullied in the future, she can tell her aunt anytime, and her aunt will beat him up, okay?"

Xiao Yuxi thought for a moment and nodded decisively.

As long as she doesn't get beaten up, it's fine!

When Mu Yunchen learned that his mother was looking for him, he went to the Duchess's courtyard, still grumpy from being woken up.

As soon as I entered, I saw the Duchess holding a little maid in a pink dress, talking intimately to her.

The Duke's mansion doesn't have any girls that old, so this can only be that cousin?

Mu Yunchen narrowed his eyes and suddenly stepped forward, shoving the little maid in the Duchess's arms away.
