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

"Silly." Yan Shanshan gently tapped her forehead, then pulled the chair next to her over with force. After sitting down, she suddenly noticed something, turned her head to look at the little prince sitting in the corner, and the two looked at each other.

Yan Shanshan snorted and turned to Xiao Yuxi, saying in a stiff tone, "Your third sister is quite capable. She managed to completely charm my mother and even brought her back to the manor to be recognized as her daughter."

Yan Shanshan didn't believe her mother would really lose a daughter outside, so she concluded that Mu Siliao must have used some despicable means to enter the princess's residence.

Now, Mu Siliao is not only six months pregnant, but she is also being meticulously cared for by the princess's residence, as if she were the most precious treasure. This makes Yan Shanshan feel a little dissatisfied.

Now this child has become the most important person in the entire princess's residence.

Yan Shanshan was actually a little jealous, but she didn't dare to say it in front of her mother.

Xiao Yuxi looked up at her blankly and asked in confusion, "Isn't Third Sister Princess Auntie's child?"

Because her aunt had already told her that her third sister's identity had been switched by bad people, and now she was the real child of Princess Lanyue.

Xiao Yuxi grabbed Yan Shanshan's hand and asked with some concern, "Sister Shanshan, do you not like Third Sister?"

Yan Shanshan curled her lip, her tone carrying a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction: "Who likes that pretentious white lotus?"

Just then, a weak voice came from behind, "The white lotus refers to a virtuous and noble person."

Hearing the sound, Yan Shanshan turned around and discovered that besides the two of them, there was another person in the room who hadn't left—Song Ci.

Yan Shanshan rolled her eyes at Song Ci and snorted coldly without any politeness, "Some people know to leave early, while others are blind and don't know they should leave."

Song Ci's face paled slightly, and he slowly lowered his eyes, saying nothing more.

"Stop spouting so many self-righteous things. You think you're the only one who knows what Bai Lian means, and nobody else does?" Yan Shanshan glared at him, then forcefully pinched Xiao Yuxi's face, turning her head towards her. "You're not allowed to look at him."

Xiao Yuxi was startled by this sudden action and looked at Yan Shanshan with a blank expression.

But suddenly I noticed that Sister Shanshan's eyes were filled with vulnerability and helplessness, as if she was afraid of something.

It seems like when she first came to the Mu family, she was anxious and afraid that they would think she was disobedient and throw her out.

Is Sister Shanshan scared?

What are you afraid of?

Suddenly, the teacher's voice rang out from the doorway, "What are you all crowding around here for! Get inside, everyone!"

"3, 2, 1!"

Instantly, everyone rushed inside.

The teacher strode into the classroom with steady steps, his gaze sweeping over every corner like a torch. When his eyes landed on Yan Shanshan, his expression instantly turned cold and stern, as if he could pierce through one's soul.

"Xue Shanshan, what are you doing here! Go back to your class!" The teacher's voice was deep and serious, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Yan Shanshan was startled by the sudden reprimand, her body trembling involuntarily. Her eyes widened, her face turned pale, and she froze for a moment. She obediently stood up, head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong, and slowly left her seat.

Xiao Yuxi stared in astonishment at Sister Shanshan's departing figure, her heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. She didn't know why the teacher had suddenly become so angry with Sister Shanshan, nor did she understand how to handle such a situation. But with the teacher present, she could only sit there dumbfounded, not daring to make a sound.

After watching Yan Shanshan leave, the teacher turned his attention back to the students in the class. He carefully examined each person's face, moving his gaze from one person to another, observing their expressions and demeanor.

Finally, the teacher's gaze lingered on Xiao Yuxi's face, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "Where is your brother, Mu Yunchen?"

The Mu family had specifically instructed the tutor to pay special attention to Mu Yunchen, the third young master of the Mu family. This boy loved skipping classes; he would find ways to escape to play during nine out of ten periods. Whether it was a table, a stone, a tree, or even some other inexplicable object, he could always cleverly use them to escape class.

His skill in skipping classes was so advanced that it was astonishing.

Young Master Mu had specifically told him to keep an eye out for him and to call him over immediately if he skipped class.

He had just finished his training less than half an hour ago when he vanished without a trace.

What will he tell Young Master Mu?

The teacher rubbed his temples, looking troubled.

Xiao Yuxi blinked, a little afraid of the teacher, but still asked with some doubt, "Didn't Second Brother go to the teacher's?"

"He hasn't come back yet?" The teacher's face darkened as he stared straight at her. Little Yu Xi trembled slightly, blinked her eyes, and looked at him obediently.

The Master sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

The tapping on the table struck Xiao Yuxi's heart with each tap.

Suddenly a commotion arose at the doorway: "A child has fallen off the wall!"

The teacher was startled and turned to look at them. "Sit quietly in your seats!"

After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.

Xiao Yuxi was also startled, her heart pounding as she nervously watched the teacher's departing figure.

The students started talking amongst themselves, and they were all very worried.

"I wonder who fell down..."

"I hope nothing bad happens."

"If something comes up, will today's class be canceled?"

"Then there must be something else going on."

Xiao Yuxi's palms were sweating with nervousness, her eyes fixed on the classroom door, waiting for the teacher to bring back news.

She always felt that something had happened to her second brother.

Mu Yunchao had just finished the morning court session when his steward rushed him to the academy as if on cue. Upon arrival, he saw Mu Yunchen sitting in a wheelchair and Xiao Yuxi standing to the side.

He frowned, his tone somewhat unfriendly: "What's wrong with you, kid? You really managed to break your leg?"

As Mu Yunchao spoke, he walked over to check on Mu Yunchen's injuries.

Others may not know, but Mu Yunchao knows very well that this kid was reborn. In his previous life, he went to the battlefield with Yu Xi and his lightness skill was amazing!

How could he have broken his leg like this?

Mu Yunchao stared at Mu Yunchen with a questioning look in his eyes for a long time, as if trying to see something through his eyes.

Mu Yunchen, feeling somewhat guilty, avoided Mu Yunchao's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.

He never expected that, having been given a second chance at life, he would break his leg again.

Just then, Xiao Yuxi reached out her little hand and touched Mu Yunchen's leg, which was bound with wooden blocks. Then she looked up at Mu Yunchao and asked in her childish voice, "Second brother, will Potato brother's leg get better?"

Mu Yunchao's eyes momentarily dazed. He remembered that Xi Xi in his previous life had asked the same question, almost exactly the same as now.

At this time in her past life, Mu Yunchen was unconscious from the pain, and she squatted down beside him, slowly poking his leg with her fingertips, tilting her head to look at him, "Little Potato, will this leg ever get better?"

His reply at the time was, "It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; it will be fine in two or three months."

However, Mu Yunchen's legs have been confined to a wheelchair ever since.

Mu Yunchao lowered his eyes slightly and shook his head, "It depends. It might get better in a few days, or it might never get better."

After saying that, he looked at Mu Yunchen speechlessly, "So, you really are something else. With this memory, you still don't take your leg seriously? You're quite capable."

Mu Yunchao sneered at him.

Fortunately, no one will put anything in his medicine this time, which means that Mu Yunchen's leg will most likely recover; it's just a matter of time.

Mu Yunchao gently patted Xiao Yuxi's head, "Xixi, go to class first."

Xiao Yuxi glanced at Potato Brother, then at Second Brother's unyielding face, obediently shut her mouth, and turned to run quickly towards her classroom.

The moment Xiao Yuxi left, the smile on Mu Yunchao's face vanished.

"Tell me, how did you hurt your leg? I really don't believe you accidentally fell and broke it." Mu Yunchao sat in the chair, looking at Mu Yunchen expressionlessly.

Mu Yunchen's eyes darted around, her hands nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, hesitant to look at her second brother.

Mu Yunchao sneered, took off his official hat, tossed it aside, leaned against the table, and looked at him coldly, "If you can't tell me a single truth today, I'll really beat you up and let you experience what it feels like to be paralyzed in bed."

Mu Yunchen's lips twitched, and he looked at his violent second brother speechlessly. He sighed, "It really was my fault for slipping down by accident. I didn't notice."

"To be honest." Mu Yunchao raised an eyebrow, his cold gaze fixed directly on Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen pursed his lips, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Mu Yunchao's gaze grew even colder, as if it could freeze a person.

Mu Yunchen finally couldn't resist and slowly said, "When I was halfway through flipping through the pages, I suddenly remembered that Sister Xi was the last person standing in front of me to protect me. I tried to grab her, but suddenly I lost my footing and fell down."

Mu Yunchao's gaze darkened, and he suddenly looked at him. In fact, he had never seen Yu Xi again after she entered the Heze Desert, let alone her last meeting. The tomb in her tomb was just a cenotaph.

He originally thought that Yu Xi had lost her way in the Heze desert and failed to find Yun Chen, which led to their deaths.

But they actually found him, but couldn't get Yun Chen out?

Mu Yunchao looked straight at him, hesitated for a long time before asking the question she had always wanted to know, her voice trembling slightly: "Yu Xi..."

"What exactly happened after she went to Heze and found you?"

"The people of that sand kingdom never lose their way when they enter the Heze desert. When I went in, I got stuck in a place where even camels couldn't get out. They just kept going in circles. I was following the sun, but the more I walked, the more confused I became. I eventually got stuck there and died."

“There’s a place in Heze that’s like a country. No matter where I go, it’s behind me, just a hill away. I move forward, it moves backward; I move backward, it moves forward. No matter how long it takes, the distance never changes.”

"Until Sister Xi came, she took me into that city, and we stayed there for a long time. It was an abandoned city, and all the houses were deserted."

"The accident happened when we entered the main hall."

"It was packed with people from that desert. I had been trapped in the desert for more than half a month, so I was completely exhausted. But they really couldn't get close to Sister Xi."

"Until one..." Mu Yunchen's voice trailed off, as if he had thought of something, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. A cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen someone or something that made him extremely unhappy.

Mu Yunchao frowned, his gaze fixed on Mu Yunchen, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Mu Yunchen froze, the figure of that person flashing before his eyes.

Mu Yunchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said, "Until a woman with a very familiar figure came over and sprinkled some kind of drug on Sister Xi, Sister Xi instantly collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up at all."

Mu Yunchen thought about it seriously. He had a feeling that the woman's figure was eerily familiar. It was as if he should always encounter her, but he always seemed to ignore her. This feeling made him very uneasy.

Looking at him like this, Mu Yunchao, with decades of brotherhood, naturally knew what Mu Yunchen was thinking. "That person's figure looks familiar?"

Mu Yunchen nodded seriously with a straight face, "It's very familiar, but I still can't figure out who this person is. This woman is skilled in using poison. She has a pot full of all kinds of poisonous insects. And normal medicines have no effect on her poisons at all."

Mu Yunchao's expression also turned serious, as he knew how serious the situation Mu Yunchen described was.

In other words, there is a hidden presence around them, and an accident could happen at any time.

"Sister Xi had almost half her blood drained. She took us to an altar, where they were talking mysteriously. They said that there was a medicine hidden there that could make people young again, thus maintaining immortality, and that it could even bring back the dead."

"They said that God would grant them eternal life."

"After that, the platforms around me were filled with people, and everyone raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at me."

"When Sister Xi woke up, she saw this scene and immediately rushed over..."

Mu Yunchen didn't want to say any more. His head was throbbing violently. Every time he thought about that incident, he felt a heartache so intense he was almost suffocating. It didn't matter if something happened to him, but it affected Sister Xi...

"I think that when they shot arrows and made Sister Xi rush over to protect me, it was part of the so-called sacrificial ceremony. It's somewhat similar to the altar I saw last time."
