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

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then how do you know?"

"I've been to the back mountain."

Lady Yun lightly tapped the map she had drawn on the table with her finger, her finger landing on the desert area.

Xie Yaochuan stared silently at the map, his brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"

"Jade railing".

-

"Will you hit someone?" Mu Yunchen squatted by the field, pulling at the weeds, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yuxi.

Xiao Yuxi blinked and nodded seriously, "Yes."

Mu Yunchen stood up instantly and said with a smile, "Then hit me."

Xiao Yuxi: ? ? ?

Why would someone make such a strange request?

Xiao Yuxi turned her head to look at the quiet and silent carriage, then turned her head back, clenched her little fist, raised it, and softly placed it on Mu Yunchen's chest again and again.

It doesn't hurt.

but……

Kind of cute.

Mu Yunchen suppressed a laugh and held the little girl's soft little fist.

The little girl's originally fair hands became slightly red and swollen from hitting him.

Mu Yunchen couldn't hold back her laughter any longer, so she covered her face with her hands and burst out laughing.

In her past life, Sister Xi could have kicked him away with a single kick.

The little girl can only punch his chest, but she doesn't feel anything at all.

It was indeed his good day of liberation from serfdom.

Mu Yunchen pressed one finger against Xiao Yuxi's forehead and pushed her away.

He watched with satisfaction as she frantically flailed her arms but couldn't touch him.

It was worth it for him to have gotten a lot of medicine from the imperial physician and to exercise every day; he did indeed grow much taller.

Xiao Yuxi thrashed around for a while before finally stopping, panting, and glared at him angrily, "You're mean! You're bullying me!"

Xiao Yuxi grabbed Yingrui's hand, pointed at Mu Yunchen, and complained fiercely, "Brother Potato bullied Xixi!"

Mu Yunchen chuckled lightly, "All you do is complain about me, why don't you ever complain about anyone else?"

Xiao Yuxi put her index finger under her eyes, stuck out her tongue like he had done before, made a face at him, and then immediately hid behind Yingrui.

She's a coward.

"Come here, I'll teach you how to hit someone." Mu Yunchen gently beckoned.

The little girl, without ever learning her lesson, immediately moved closer to him again.

"Watch closely. If someone hits you like this, grab their arm, then lift your leg like this and kick them in the groin! If you can't grab their arm, pretend they knock you down, play dumb, and kick them in the groin again when they're off guard..."

Before Mu Yunchen could finish speaking, Xie Yaochuan grabbed his ear and lifted him up.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Mu Yunchen struggled to escape from his grasp, covered her ears, and looked resentful.

"Don't lead your sister astray like this." Xie Yaochuan tapped his forehead lightly, quite helplessly.

“If Xixi wants to learn, go back and have your second brother teach her. With Yunchen’s mediocre skills, he can only fight against other kids his age who haven’t learned martial arts.”

Mu Yunchen looked unconvinced. His method was the simplest and most effective, unlike Xie Yaochuan, who looked like a weak scholar and could only dodge a few moves.

And how could he be considered a novice? In his previous life, he was a general!

Even though he works under Sister Xi, he's still very capable!

If he weren't still so young, he would have beaten Xie Yaochuan to a pulp long ago!

Lady Yun stood quietly to the side, looking around constantly, then suddenly her eyes stopped.

It landed directly on the older brother who was walking towards them.

The man bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Sir, the county magistrate just came by and said that Lord Shen of Yushan Prefecture wishes to pay his respects to you."

"Master Shen?"

Upon hearing this name, Mu Yunchen abruptly raised his head, a flash of surprise and resentment crossing his eyes.

Mu Yunchen was naturally familiar with this Lord Shen Zhijie. He remembered clearly that this man's career had been incredibly smooth.

He rose through the ranks from county magistrate to prefect, and finally became the Imperial Censor.

And it was this very person who, in his previous life, impeached the Mu family, resulting in his elderly grandmother being imprisoned and his mother suffering great humiliation.

Someone like Shen Zhijie, who came from humble beginnings, would never dare to provoke a prestigious family like the Mu family without the support of a powerful force behind him.

So, who exactly is backing him up, giving him such audacity?

Xie Yaochuan, standing to the side, was equally astonished. He had just learned that this place might be related to that sand, but unexpectedly, Lord Shen from Yushan Prefecture had rushed over to request an audience.

The speed at which the news spread was truly astonishing.

They arrived at this small village. Although they acted lavishly along the way, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that they were just a group of rich young men traveling and sightseeing, and there was nothing special about them.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for it to be related to court politics.

However, the fact that Lord Shen was able to learn his identity so quickly and rush to visit him is enough to show that there is indeed a problem here, and it is likely much more serious than they imagined.

"Arrange to meet at the magistrate's residence," Xie Yaochuan instructed softly.

The man glanced at Yun Niangzi with some suspicion, finding it odd that she kept staring at him, but he still obediently nodded in response, "Yes."

When Yun Niangzi saw that he had seen her face, he completely ignored her and stood there stunned.

He didn't even glance at her for a second.

Seeing that Lady Yun was in a bad mood, Xiao Yuxi went over worriedly and hugged her tightly. "Sister Yun."

Yun Niangzi smiled gently at her. Er Ya had changed drastically. She had gone from a little girl with dry, yellow hair who couldn't even afford a meal to a pampered young lady who had been raised in the capital since childhood.

Xie Yaochuan paused slightly as he was about to leave.

elder sister?

He called her his cousin, and she called him her older sister?

"Sister Yun, where is Sheng-ge'er?" Xiao Yu-xi hugged her tightly, unwilling to let go.

When she was a child, she rarely had rice porridge to eat. Her parents didn't like her. If they couldn't find any wild vegetables or pheasant eggs in the mountains, she would go hungry.

Most of the time, it was her third sister who would try to save some food for her.

Sometimes, Yun Niangzi would secretly leave her a bite of rice.

That's how they survived, little by little.

"Sheng'er, Sheng'er is still asleep. I'll introduce you to him later." Yun Niangzi's voice was gentle, like a flowing stream, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.

Lady Yun chuckled and stroked the little girl's hair, gesturing with her hand, "Sheng'er has grown up a bit."

The guard, who had already walked some distance, was startled by the voice. He looked back and saw a woman dressed as a peasant. His doubts deepened, but he still quickened his pace to inform Lord Xie of his instructions.
