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

"A female Yama?" A strange light flashed in Mu Yunnan's eyes. He curled his lips and slowly drew a black whip from his waist. He looked at the guard nineteen standing to the side and said, "Take the young lady away."

Seeing this, Mu Yunchen struggled to jump down instantly, enduring the pain, and quickly grabbed Mu Yuxi.

Mu Yuxi only hit him once. His second sister had been beating him since he was a child! He had experienced the power of that whip before. After being hit, his whole body ached. When he went to complain, there wasn't even a mark. Instead, he was forced to kneel as punishment!

"I was wrong, Second Sister!" Mu Yunchen was incredibly cowardly, instantly kneeling on the ground, still clutching Xiao Yuxi's sleeve, as if afraid that this lifeline would be taken away.

Fearing he might hurt his master, Shijiu looked pleadingly at Mu Yunnan, who was standing to the side holding a whip.

"Second sister, you can't be so unreasonable! What did I do that you hit me like that!" Mu Yunchen tried to reason with her.

"Hit you? What else do I need you to do?" Mu Yunnan's eyes flickered. Actually, she didn't really want to hit him anymore. Thinking of how his legs were both broken in her previous life, she didn't want to make him successful like she had in her past life. Living a mediocre and ordinary life was fine too. It didn't matter if he squandered the family fortune. She didn't need him to do anything for the Mu State Duke's Mansion.

Mu Yunchen was stunned by her self-righteous words, and stood there dumbfounded. In his previous life, his second sister wasn't this unreasonable! Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed her into the army.

"At least people shouldn't... shouldn't do this..." Mu Yunchen managed to utter a few words, but his mind was a jumbled mess, and he couldn't form a coherent sentence.

Mu Yunnan put the whip back at his waist. "At such a young age, you haven't even read the Four Books and Five Classics, yet you're already talking about people."

Mu Yunnan stepped forward, grabbed Mu Yunchen's hand, and watched him grimace in pain as he immediately jumped away from Xiao Yuxi before picking up the somewhat dazed Xiao Yuxi.

Seeing the bandage wrapped around her forehead, my hands itched; I should probably whip him.

Mu Yunchen looked at Mu Yuxi, who was being held by Mu Yunnan, with a wronged expression. He had never been held by his second sister before!

"Does it hurt, Yu Xi?" Mu Yunnan looked at the injury on her head with heartache, wanting to touch it but afraid of hurting her.

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head, glanced at her third brother who looked a little aggrieved, and shook her head decisively. Her voice was crisp and clear, with a hint of childishness, "It doesn't hurt, Second Sister, please don't hit Potato Brother, okay?"

Mu Yunchen's eyes lit up. As expected of his Sister Xi, she still knew how to speak up for him.

Xiao Yuxi didn't think that much about it. Actually, the injury on her forehead wasn't that serious. It was similar to the injury she had when she fell while collecting firewood on the mountain before, and it didn't hurt that much.

Furthermore, she could sense that this older brother meant her no harm. After what he said that morning, he seemed like a different person, much like her second older sister. Therefore, this older brother must be a good brother, not a bad one. A good brother shouldn't be beaten.

Little Yu Xi looked at her second sister with bright, sparkling eyes. But her second sister was the best sister to her, and if her second sister really wanted to hit her, it must be because her little brother had done something wrong. Her second sister was definitely not wrong.

Mu Yunnan didn't understand what the little guy was thinking. He was a little surprised when he heard the term "Potato Brother." He glanced at Mu Yunchen and wondered, "Why are you calling him Potato Brother?"

She knew that in her previous life, Yu Xi always called Yun Chen "Little Potato" because Yun Chen was short. He stopped calling her that after he injured his leg. However, now, because of those people's mistreatment, Yu Xi wasn't even as tall as a three-year-old, while Yun Chen was at least a head taller than her. How could she still be called "Little Potato"? That name was completely unfounded.

Xiao Yuxi was about to speak when Mu Yunchen interrupted her, "Because she's short now, a little potato, and I'm her brother, so naturally I'm Potato Brother."

Xiao Yuxi: (O?O)

Wait, she seems a little confused...

It seems... it doesn't seem like that...

Mu Yunnan inwardly scoffed at herself for overthinking things. Where in this world are there so many rebirths? Yun Chen broke his leg and committed suicide; how could his depressed personality possibly revert to his original carefree and unpredictable self? She was indeed overthinking things.

"Alright, this name suits you quite well." Mu Yunnan patted his head. "If I ever hear you bullying your sister again, ten lashes will be the minimum, how about that?"

"Ten...ten lashes?" Mu Yunchen's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief! One lash from her could cripple someone half to death; ten lashes would leave them either dead or lifeless!

"What?" Mu Yunnan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at him with a flick of his wrist, his fingers poised to strike. "Could it be that you still want to bully your sister?"

"No!" Mu Yunchen's mental radar went off like crazy. He felt like Mu Yunnan's whip was about to lash him at any moment. "I won't bully her! Never!" Seeing her expression calm down, he tentatively added, "But Second Sister, there has to be a limit to bullying, right? If I didn't bully her, but she tells you I did..."

Mu Yunnan decisively interrupted him, "Then it must be because you bullied her."

???

Mu Yunchen: Σ(?д?|||)??

The greatest injustice I have ever suffered is actually myself?

"No, why should I!" Mu Yunchen disregarded his fear of the whip and grabbed her sleeve. "No..."

"Yu Xi is so young, how could she possibly lie? Right, Xi Xi?" Mu Yunnan tilted his head and asked the dazed little Yu Xi in a gentle tone. He didn't know what the little girl was thinking, as she would suddenly fall silent and space out. She was really quite adorable.

Mu Yunchen felt a chill run down his spine. It was like seeing a 1.9-meter-tall, 200-pound strong man deliberately tilting his head and acting cute while speaking in a childish voice.

Xiao Yuxi actually couldn't keep up with their direct conversations. No one had ever taught her; she had always followed behind others, listening to what they said and did, and that's how she learned simple sentences. Being able to respond normally in front of them was already her limit; understanding what they were saying was almost impossible for her. Moreover, their speaking speed was just too fast. Even if she knew some of the words, they flashed by so quickly that she couldn't match them at all.

But, was that last sentence right, Xixi? She knew it was a question directed at her, and she had to answer. Xiao Yuxi decisively replied, "Yes!"

Although she didn't know what it was, seeing her second sister smiling at her, it was highly likely that her answer was correct.

She was actually afraid that her second sister would abandon her because she wasn't smart enough.

Xiao Yuxi secretly clenched her fair fingers, thinking to herself, "I must become smarter so that my second sister won't dislike me!"
