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

"call out--"

Xiao Yuxi leaned against the window, looking at the small stones that had fallen in the yard, and then secretly turned her head to look at Yingrui, who was embroidering a sachet for her.

Ever since she last met Mu Yunchen, he's been coming over every day to take Xiao Yuxi out to play, and every time he gets himself all dirty. Unfortunately, Xiao Yuxi doesn't know how to express herself, so Mu Yunchen always manages to shift all the blame onto her.

The only person currently forbidden from entering the Duchess's courtyard is the Third Young Master, Mu Yunchen.

Even the concubine's sons and daughters, who paid their respects to the Duchess every day, could see her, but the biological third young master couldn't even enter the courtyard.

They all thought that the third young master, that scoundrel, would bully Xiao Yuxi after he kidnapped the well-behaved little girl. Every time they went out, only Xiao Yuxi's clothes were filthy and unrecognizable, while the third young master's clothes were spotless.

Anyone who sees this will think that Xiao Yuxi is the one being bullied.

But actually, Xiaoyuxi quite liked this Potato Brother; he showed her many toys she had never seen before. It's just that her aunt wouldn't let Potato Brother in.

However, what Brother Potato said makes sense. Auntie only told him not to come in, she didn't say she couldn't leave!

Xiao Yuxi secretly watched Yingrui, who was focused on embroidering a sachet, and carefully climbed onto the table and then onto the windowsill.

Mu Yunchen, who was perched on the wall, was startled when he saw the little baby swaying precariously on the windowsill. Ignoring the risk of being discovered, he jumped off the wall and fell into the yard.

Mu Yunchen winced in pain, ignoring his injuries, and ran frantically to the small windowsill where Xiao Yuxi was leaning, then scooped her up in his arms.

Mu Yunchen looked down at the little bundle of flesh in his arms. The little bundle blinked its innocent eyes and looked at him with watery eyes.

With a "pop," Mu Yunchen felt the anger in his heart vanish without a trace.

He seemed to suddenly understand the helplessness his mother felt when disciplining him.

Mu Yunchen carefully placed her on the ground, and through the window, he made eye contact with Yingrui. He immediately raised his index finger, signaling her to be quiet. After seeing her struggle for a while before sitting down again, he pulled Xiaoyuxi around through the back door.

Although the Duchess had forbidden the Third Young Master from entering the courtyard, he was, after all, the legitimate son, so none of them dared to say anything. Seeing that the Third Young Master was holding the hand of a delicate and well-behaved little girl, they probably guessed that she might be the cousin that the Second Young Lady had brought back, so they all simply took a detour.

They can't afford to offend either the Third Young Master or the Second Young Lady.

Mu Yunchen was quite surprised that the abduction went so smoothly. He completely forgot that he was the little devil in the house at this time, the kind who would kill people without any remorse.

Mu Yunchen led her to the courtyard from a few days ago, where there were dried mud figures on the ground.

Little Yu Xi's eyes lit up when she saw the little clay figures standing on the ground. She ran over with her short legs, squatted down, and stopped before touching the clay figures, looking at Brother Potato.

"Brother Potato, can I take this now?" Little Yu Xi tilted her head and looked at Brother Potato, her watery eyes blinking, her small face buried in the fur collar, looking extremely soft and cute.

Mu Yunchen cleared his throat and gently stroked his face, which looked soft and tempting to pinch.

He's gotten a bit addicted to taking care of kids lately. He never imagined that Xi Jie would be so adorable as a child; she was such a sweet, cuddly little dumpling. If he had lived a longer life in his previous existence, maybe he would have had a little dumpling just like her.

Mu Yunchen squatted down beside her in a serious manner, looking at the clay figurine on the ground. In fact, he had no idea whether it was done or not, but he had asked his servants to find a specialized shop to reshape it, so the one on the ground was definitely fine now. "You can take it now, it's done."

"Wow!" the little dumpling exclaimed softly, carefully pinching the little figure she had been sculpting over the past few days.

"Brother Potato, you're amazing! You really look just like Second Sister!"

Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, Mu Yunchen pursed his lips tightly, suppressing a smile, and adopted an indifferent attitude, gently raising his chin, "Of course, there's nothing I can't do!"

Second Sister's birthday is in three days. Although there's not much going on at home, it'll probably be a simple family meal like every year. But somehow, Xiao Yuxi found out and told him she wanted to prepare a small gift for Second Sister. He remembered the clay figurine that Sister Xi taught him to make in his previous life.

Although he hadn't really learned how to sculpt clay figures, it was more than enough to deal with the little milk ball who knew nothing at the moment.

In particular, he can find people to cheat.

Looking at the little girl's adoring eyes, Mu Yunchen couldn't help but smile with a hint of pride.

"Look at that pathetic sight."

Mu Yunchen stood up, his lips trembling slightly.

It seems he... injured his back when he fell down earlier.

Ouch, that hurts.

but……

Mu Yunchen glanced at the little girl, forcing himself to stand up straight, "Should I get you a wooden box to put it in?"

The little girl looked at him expectantly, "Sure!"

Xiao Yuxi: (′??w??｀) Looking forward to it...

“Of course…” Mu Yunchen took a step back after being attacked by Xiao Yuxi’s starry eyes. “No… it’s just a box! You put it on the ground, and I’ll have the servants pack it up and bring it to your room.”

Little Yu Xi carefully placed the clay figure on the ground. Once it stood upright, she stood up and hugged Potato Brother's waist. "Potato Brother, you're so nice! Yu Xi loves you, Brother!"

This was the first time I'd received such a blatant confession. My face flushed slightly, and I coughed awkwardly. For the first time, I truly felt like I was the older brother.

Despite his back injury, Mu Yunchen picked up the little dumpling and retraced his steps until he reached his mother's courtyard gate. Only then did he remember the rule that he couldn't go in, so he put her down and patted her little head.

Do you know the way?

Little Yu Xi looked at the courtyard gate, then at Brother Potato, her little face full of seriousness, "We know each other!"

Mu Yunchen subtly touched his waist with one hand, without showing it on the surface.

It’s good to know each other.

"Then why don't you go back by yourself?" Mu Yunchen suggested, offering a suggestion.

If the Duchess or the Second Young Master were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked. It would be unbelievable to see this unruly and mischievous monkey be so docile.

Xiao Yuxi nodded earnestly, "Okay~ Goodbye, Brother Potato~"

Mu Yunchen smiled as he watched her enter the courtyard before suddenly kneeling on the ground.

He was going to great lengths to uphold his dignity as an older brother.

Why is my body so weak at this time? |?w?｀)
