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

"Yes." Mu Yunchao's mind was a little confused, but he still habitually followed Yu Xi's words.

"Someone will remember."

"As long as you do it, someone will remember it."

Mu Yunchao looked down at her, his mind a blur, and could only hold her hand tightly.

"Yu Xi, please don't go to the battlefield, okay?"

Mu Yunchao felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart when he looked at Yu Xi, who had changed into men's clothing and wanted to join the army.

Only then did he finally say the words he hadn't spoken in his previous life.

Yunnan suffered so many injuries on the battlefield. Going to the battlefield is not as simple as just having high martial arts skills to resist everything.

He was afraid she would get hurt.

But she is independent, and she wants to do whatever she wants.

When he returned, he had won a battle and was promoted to general. However, unlike other generals, he did not have a grand parade through the streets. Instead, he went back to Xiao Xian's shop in the capital, lay on a tree in the backyard, a book on his face, his hand hanging down, and slept soundly.

Xiao Xian didn't give him a friendly look when he saw him coming.

Without him, Yu Xi would only be in the mountains, playing her own management game in the shop, growing up peacefully and smoothly, occasionally finding something interesting to do.

I would never have been so inexplicably drawn into this vortex of the capital, and thus become entangled in these strange entanglements.

These constraints were merely burdens to her.

As if sensing someone entering the courtyard, Yu Xi yawned, took the book off her face, tilted her head to look at her brother who was watching her at the gate, and smiled softly.

"Won't you take a nap together?" Yu Xi rolled up her book and pointed to the crooked tree next to her.

"You are quite at ease."

Yu Xi put the book she was holding back to her eyes. "I'm tired from fighting, and I wanted to steal a moment of peace here. You came here just to joke around?"

"You're being way too boring."

Yu Xi's voice was soft, without a trace of fatigue, only a faint sense of laziness.

He was completely unaware that Yu Xi had injured her heart on the battlefield and was covering her face not to shield herself from the sun, but to hide her pale complexion. He, however, was oblivious, only thinking she looked quite healthy.

My previously anxious heart finally relaxed.

"I'm really bored, so I came here specifically to ask for a cup of tea. I've heard that the tea here is the best."

"Just have Xiao Xian bring you a pot of tea to take home and drink. Don't bother me."

"No tea at home can compare to the fragrance of this." Mu Yunchao chuckled as he brewed himself a pot of tea, took a sip with a smile, and found it extremely sweet and fragrant.

"Fine, I thought I should be the one collecting the debt, but I never expected that someone else would be. Do as you please, I'm going to sleep now."

From that day on, whenever he saw Yu Xi, she was either wearing exquisite makeup or a veil. Every time he teased her with a smile, Yu Xi would reply, "I'm not like you, getting on in years and still without a wife. I'm going to ask the old emperor to find me a good marriage, so of course I have to learn from the girls in the capital."

"How do you resemble a girl from the capital?" Mu Yunchao asked with great interest.

Yu Xi deliberately leaned closer to him, blinked her carefully drawn eyes, and said, "At this moment, doesn't it look quite like him?"

"Oh? You think you look a lot like her?" Mu Yunchao smiled slightly and chuckled softly, while gently straightening her shoulders. "This way, you do look even more like her."

Yu Xi's body suddenly trembled, but Mu Yunchao didn't think too much about it. He still smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, saying gently, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat passion chicken. You've been at the border for so long, you must have been craving it for a long time, right?"

Yu Xi's heart is injured, and any external force will cause her excruciating pain.

Although Xiao Xian had a white-haired woman by his side who was skilled in medicine, he was still unable to do anything about the injury on her chest.

Ke Yuxi hid it so well that, apart from Xiao Xian, no one knew that she was injured. She continued to wander around like an ordinary person.

It wasn't until the Mu family ran into trouble that she became known to people in the capital for the first time.

This was also the first time he had entered the Mu family.

When she first came to Beijing, he took her to visit the Mu family.

At that time, she stood far away on the pavilion, watching the cousin play with the other maids in the garden, without the slightest hint of unhappiness on her face.

On the contrary, I felt nothing at all.

"I've known for years that your Mu family has chosen the wrong person. But so what?"

"The Mu family needed a cousin, and she filled that vacancy. You got a cousin. I also got my own life. I think it's pretty good, isn't it?"

"Won't there be anything that makes you unhappy? You're underestimating me."

Why would I have any ill will towards a little girl?

"If she hadn't entered the Mu family, her fate would have been to be married off by her parents to an old man decades older than her. If she hadn't given birth to any children, she would have been buried with him."

"I think it's a good thing that she took over my life."

“I’m living a very comfortable life, and she has her own family now. What’s wrong with that?”

"Since the Mu family already has a cousin, I don't think there's any need for another cousin to come back."

"Girls would be heartbroken if they found out they weren't from the Mu family."

Yu Xi smiled, looking completely unconcerned, and placed her hand on the railing, watching the girls playing below.

His expression was extremely calm.

It was as if she was talking about something completely unrelated to her.

But now, she's back.

Yu Xi remained calm and composed, but when the old lady, leaning on her cane, staggered over and embraced her, weeping bitterly, she suddenly froze in place, as if frozen in place, unable to move.

After a long while, she slowly reached out her arms and tremblingly embraced the old lady's frail body.

Next, Yu Xi went to visit the Duchess who was bedridden.

The Duchess lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face. She gently stroked Yu Xi's noticeably thinner face and asked with heartache, "Child, you must have suffered a lot these years, haven't you?"

The Duchess took her fair hand, coughed lightly, and tried her best to smile as she gently asked how she had grown up over the years.

Like Yunnan, were you injured anywhere while serving in the military outside the province?

Yu Xi left the Mu family silently and sat on the steps at the entrance for a long time.

After a long, long time, she quietly turned her head and gazed at the "Mu Mansion" plaque above her head, which had been used for many years and was slightly worn. Her eyes revealed a complex emotion.

She murmured to herself, "I think... I finally understand the meaning of home."
