The old lady looked at the little girl who was wrapped up tightly and took her in with a face full of affection.

Xiao Yuxi felt herself being held by someone else before she dazedly opened her eyes, looked at the old lady in front of her, and snuggled into her grandmother's arms. "Grandmother."

The old lady's gaze fell on the plaster on her forehead, and she felt a pang of pity.

Early this morning, that little rascal Mu Yunchen came here and embellished the story of what happened that morning.

She felt that Xiao Yuxi wasn't there for the Mu family's status and wealth, as he claimed.

Especially in her previous life, before the Mu family fell into ruin, the second son, Mu Yunchao, was on good terms with Yu Xi. Yu Xi actually knew that he was a child of the Mu family, but she never told them directly. She even thought that this child and Yunchao were a couple.

Later, Mu Yunchen became her shadow, following her almost everywhere she went.

She initially thought this girl was a seductive vixen who had come to harm the Mu family. It wasn't until later, when the Mu family was framed, that she used all the grain she had stored to supply the army in exchange for the Mu family's safety, that they learned her true identity.

Perhaps she knew about it a long time ago, but because they believed they had found their lost child, they didn't want to bother them.

Besides, she's still so young. If she really only needs the Mu family's power, I'd be at ease. Unfortunately, this child has never even met her mother; she's a truly pitiful little thing.

"Was Yuxi bullied this morning?" The old lady gently stroked her forehead.

Morning?

Mu Yuxi blinked and shook her head seriously, "No, it's my fault for not telling my brother before I moved in."

elder brother?

The old lady hesitated for a moment. Was Yun Chen actually older than her?

In her past life, Yun Chen always called her Sister Xi, and she always thought she was older than Yun Chen.

That's true, they should all be around five years old now, maybe a few months apart at most. It's quite possible they're even younger than Yun Chen.

"With so many older brothers and sisters, can you really go and tell each and every one of them? Your sister Yunshang is in the palace; can you really go into the palace to tell her?"

"But this is my brother's home..."

"But it's your home too."

The old lady spoke calmly, but her words were like a pebble dropped into a lake in Yu Xi's heart, creating ripples.

"Is this my home?"

The old lady thought for a moment and whispered to her, "How about letting your brother apologize to Yu Xi? Your brother isn't a bad person; he just doesn't know how to get along with you. Yu Xi, please give him another chance?"

The old lady was certain that there must have been a reason why Mu Yunchen could follow her around in her previous life. She didn't believe that Mu Yunchen would actually hate her in this life.

Yu Xi blinked and patted the old lady's back like a little adult, "Grandmother, Yu Xi is not angry, brother doesn't need to apologize to Yu Xi."

The old lady pinched her little face and had Qingcui bring Mu Yunchen in.

Mu Yunchen followed Qingcui reluctantly, muttering curses under his breath. When he saw the little girl in pink sitting in her grandmother's lap in the distance, his anger flared even more.

He said that his grandmother was no longer on his side. He had complained to her in the morning and thought she would send the girl away, but instead she made him go to the small Buddhist hall to kneel and reflect on his actions.

And he's still hungry! He hasn't eaten anything all morning.

While still in the yard, Mu Yunchen started yelling. "I already said I hate her, I won't let her in the house, I'm not going in!"

Mu Yunchen flung Qingcui's hand away and shouted angrily into the room, "Unless she leaves, I'd rather die than step through this door!"

Hearing his voice, Mu Yuxi sat in her grandmother's lap with some confusion and looked in his direction.

Her brother seemed to be a little taller than her, but he was wearing a gray mink coat and had a rebellious look on his face.

She knew this was common in her village; it usually involved the only son in the family, who was raised to be extremely rebellious and often bullied the girls who came to the river to wash clothes. Sometimes he would trample on all the clothes they had painstakingly washed and make them dirty. He would also pull their hair and say he wanted to play games.

Mu Yuxi blinked. She was a little scared.

"That girl brought back from the countryside, how could she possibly be from our Mu family? Didn't you even bother to look for her properly! It's obvious she's just a greedy bitch who takes advantage of us for money..."

The word "zi" suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything after that.

He stared blankly at the miniature version of Yu Xi, dressed in a pink jacket, being held in his grandmother's arms, feeling the hairs on his body stand on end.

He walked in stunned silence, then knelt down on the ground with a loud "thud," kneeling firmly.

"Boss... Boss? Boss was reborn too? How come she's here! Wasn't it that fake one at home in her past life? Oh my god. He... he... what did he say?"

"Our Mu family will feed anything to the dogs, but not a single penny to this ungrateful wretch. I swear here and now, if I don't kick her out, I'm a dog!"

"I, Mu Yunchen, am making this clear! This family is either her or me! It's either her or me! You'd rather have your own blood-related son or a complete ingrate!"

"Holy crap!!!"

Mu Yunchen was so startled that he hiccuped, blinked, and looked up at the miniature version of his eldest child in his grandmother's arms.

"Damn, he really is the boss!"

"What should we do? What should we do? Is the eldest brother acting like a child? Did he...did he push the eldest brother this morning?!"

"We're doomed!"

Mu Yunchen felt ashen-faced, and in a daze, he remembered the vow he had made.

Looking at Sister Xi blinking at him, he could only think that she was thinking of some wicked trick to trick him into a meal.

He lowered his head, deciding to keep his promise. "Woof."

Mu Yuxi blinked her big eyes, looking at her grandmother with admiration. So her grandmother's authority was this powerful! Even more so than her aunt! Her rebellious brother, who had just been acting so rebelliously, became a completely different person the moment he saw her grandmother! So amazing!

The old lady saw her stubborn grandson suddenly come over and kneel down, and said "Woof".

Although she didn't understand the meaning of the "woof," he had been cursing and swearing all morning, and now he was acting normally? She didn't think this little rascal was afraid of her.

However, this is also good, as it's a good opportunity to introduce it to them.

"Yun Chen, this is Yu Xi, she'll be your little sister from now on. You can't push her like you did this morning, understand?"

Yun Chen met Xiao Yuxi's big, round eyes.

Sister...younger sister? ??
