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

Mu Yunchao slowly opened his eyes, feeling a splitting headache, as if his entire head was about to explode. He gripped the edge of the bed tightly, using all his strength to barely sit up, his eyes glazed as he looked around.

He tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday, but his last memory was of drinking in the pavilion, and everything after that became blurry.

Mu Yunchao shook his head in anguish, trying to recall his lost memories, but no matter how hard he tried, his mind remained blank. He had to admit that he seemed to have experienced a terrible "blackout."

It's ridiculous to think that he would choose to drown his sorrows in alcohol yesterday; this is a foolish thing he hasn't done in a long time.

Mu Yunchao took a deep breath, enduring his discomfort, and slowly got out of bed, then pushed open the door. He blinked hesitantly, wondering if he was still asleep. When he raised his hand to rub his temples again and opened his eyes, he was surprised to find a strange black and white beast that had appeared in the yard.

Could it be... that he sneaked into the palace's animal park while drunk and stole the black and white beast?

Mu Yunchao frowned, incredulously asking himself, "How could I do something so tasteless while drunk?"

He looked at the mess in the yard and the long row of broken bamboo, and felt a surge of annoyance. His headache became more and more severe.

She's probably still sleepy; she should go back to sleep for a while.

When Mu Yunchao woke up again, he pointed sleepily at the black and white beast that had inexplicably appeared in his yard, his face full of astonishment and disbelief as he asked the guard, "Who put this in the yard?"

The guard's gaze fell on the black and white beast that was happily munching on bamboo, then looked at the angry second young master. After hesitating for a long time, he resolutely pushed the third young master forward as a scapegoat.

"In response to Second Young Master, this was brought in by Third Young Master last night. I tried to stop him, but I really didn't dare to disobey Third Young Master."

Although this black and white beast came following behind the young lady.

However, the second young master dotes on that cousin, and now that the second cousin has been conferred the title of princess, she is naturally even more unapproachable.

In comparison, the third young master is a little boy with thick skin and flesh. Even if he gets beaten a few more times, he should be fine, right?

The guard lowered his head again and silently mourned for two seconds.

As expected, Mu Yunchao's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in an icy tone, "Bring the Third Young Master here!"

The guard quickly bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Mu Yunchao strode towards the black and white beast. Its round body lay down on its back as soon as he approached, revealing its soft belly, as if inviting him to pet it.

Mu Yunchao reached out and touched it; this seemed to be the black and white beast he had given to Xi in his previous life.

However, he was a bit older back then.

Mu Yunchen was carried over on the shoulder of the guard with a blank expression. He was still wearing his nightgown and was obviously not fully awake.

When forced to stand barefoot on the ground, I was completely bewildered and at a loss.

Mu Yunchao frowned deeply. "Still not up at this hour? Can you be any more lazy?"

Mu Yunchen looked annoyed. "Second brother, it's barely dawn. You can wake up normally after a night of heavy drinking, but I was punched by you. It would be a miracle if I woke up at this hour."

If the road hadn't been so bumpy, he wouldn't have been able to open his eyes at all.

Did you hit it?

Mu Yunchao frowned in confusion; he truly had no recollection of it at all.

Mu Yunchen looked around and only saw the black and white beasts lying leisurely on the rocks. There was no sign of Xiao Yuxi. He asked in confusion, "Where's Xixi? Why isn't she here?"

Xi Xi?

Was she there yesterday too?

A guard standing nearby explained, "Princess Xuanci entered the palace early this morning to express her gratitude."

"Xuan Ci?"

-

Little Yu Xi, dressed in a bright green princess's robe, looked charming and adorable. Her bright eyes peered out of the carriage window. When she saw her elder sister waiting for her at the palace gate, she was filled with joy and couldn't help but lean out of the carriage to get a better look at her.

Seeing her younger sister's adorable appearance, Mu Yunshang couldn't help but smile gently.

She gently curved her eyebrows, quickly walked to the car, and carefully reached out her hands to lift Xiao Yuxi out of the car.

Little Yu Xi raised her small hand and gently stroked her older sister's forehead, asking with concern, "Big sister, are you still feeling unwell?"

Mu Yunshang has always been in poor health, and yesterday she accidentally got caught in the rain, which caused her to develop a high fever and stay up all night.

His body temperature didn't drop a little until dawn.

However, not wanting Yu Xi to worry about her, she smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'm all better now. If I were really feeling unwell, why would I come to the palace gate to pick up Xi Xi?"

The news of Yu Xi's conferment of the title came very suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

In her past life, Xi Xi almost paid the price with her life to earn the title of general. But in this life, she obtained the title so easily.

It always makes people feel like there's something wrong with it.

Mu Yunshang gently held Xiao Yuxi in her arms, and together they boarded the sedan chair bound for the Empress Dowager's palace. The sedan chair moved slowly forward, and along the way, the two sisters leaned on each other, whispering intimate words.

She was actually a little worried. The Empress Dowager was the kind of person who wouldn't do anything without a reason. If she couldn't get something from Yu Xi, she would never have suddenly given her any title, let alone recognized her as her goddaughter...

Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped without warning. The two sisters, who had been having a pleasant conversation, simultaneously turned their gazes forward.

Yan Fei, adorned with jewels and gold and silver, stared at them with a furrowed brow. Her gaze swept over Mu Yunshang and landed on the Mu family's cousin sitting in her lap.

"Oh, now that the rain prayer has succeeded, you can't wait to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and ask for the title of Princess for this distant sister. We didn't even grow up together, so where does this deep sisterly affection come from?" Consort Yan sneered, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

Since her mother's sudden divorce and decision to remain a nun, her life in the palace was no longer as pleasant and comfortable as before. To make matters worse, upon hearing that her father was about to remarry, she felt as if she had lost everything overnight.

However, Mu Yunshang had everything, which made her even more unhappy. She really couldn't stand Mu Yunshang's gentle demeanor, finding it utterly fake.

She never believed that almost everyone in the Mu family had a bad temper, so why was Mu Yunshang the one with the best temper?

She didn't believe it.
