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

The Duchess smiled and bent down to hug her, introducing her to the people beside her: "This is Yu Xi."

The lady on the side laughed and said, "This girl and Siyi look exactly alike."

The woman speaking was a close friend of Mu Siyi, someone she had grown up with. She hadn't visited the Mu residence since Mu Siyi left the capital. Upon learning that Mu Siyi had left behind a daughter, she immediately sent a visiting card, and only met her today.

Little Yu Xi blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering, making her incredibly cute.

Siyi?

who is that?

Xiao Yuxi hugged the Duchess's neck, a little timid, but still looked curiously at the kind and exquisitely beautiful aunt in front of her.

The pretty aunt reached out and touched her hair, smiling gently, "You're five years old already?"

The Duchess nodded. "She should be five years old, but I'm not sure of the exact month. Fengyue, now that you've come back from there, why don't you stay?"

Feng Yue smiled and shook her head, "I will go back, but I'll stay here for a while first."

The Duchess lowered her eyes slightly and smiled as she handed the baby Yu Xi to Feng Yue to hold.

Xiao Yuxi gasped softly, then was held by someone else. She looked at the beautiful aunt in front of her, then turned to look at her aunt-in-law, and then turned her head back.

"Your name is Yu Xi, right?"

"Ok!"

“This name…” It didn’t seem like it was chosen by Siyi. The thought only lasted for a moment before it passed by. “If your mother were still alive, I would be considered your godmother.”

Feng Yue took out a small jade pendant and tied it around her waist.

"Godmother?"

"Ah."

The Duchess, seeing the scene before her, simply smiled and led everyone to sit down at the front table.

In her past life, Feng Yue died young. She came to see the fake child and gave him a jade pendant. However, the fake child accidentally broke the pendant that same day.

She still remembers how the light in Feng Yue's eyes went out, and how she left the capital the next day.

Feng Yue married poorly; it's said that all three of her children died young. Her husband's family took several concubines, and recently promoted a secondary wife. Her family has basically abandoned her.

She later became pregnant again, but died in childbirth.

The Duchess's gaze swept over her clothes; it was an old style from several years ago...

If Yu Xi could keep her here, that would be helping Si Yi.

It would be easy for the Duke's mansion to keep the wife of a fifth-rank official; they wouldn't be afraid of the official's reluctance.

As soon as Musiliao entered the room, she saw her aunt standing inside, her face pale.

"Auntie."

Aunt Xu turned around, her face showing obvious tear stains, and looked at her with red eyes, "Siliao, I taught you so much, and all you've learned is how to play the pipa, is that it?"

"I……"

“I should have been in the front hall with the old lady today, but I’m confined here. Si Liao, I’ve planned everything for you step by step. I don’t ask you to be successful, I just want you not to hold me back. Why did you have to play that pipa? You’re a young lady of the Mu family, not a plaything that uses your looks to please others.”

Musiliao knelt down on the ground. "I don't know where I offended Miss Ye. I just thought I shouldn't offend these girls. I didn't expect Madam to come."

“I mean don’t belittle yourself, but Sili, don’t be all talk and no action, okay?” Aunt Xu looked at her youngest son, who looked bewildered at the door, and quickly went over to pick him up.

"Auntie, I was still playing over there when they brought me back." Mu Yan said, sounding aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. "Did I do something wrong?"

Aunt Xu glanced at Mu Siliao's profile, who was still kneeling inside, and patted her son's head with a smile. "No, it was Aunt Xu who asked them to bring our Yan'er back. Didn't you still skip your morning lessons today? Why are you just playing? Come on, Aunt Xu will read with you."

"Yes. Aunt, I have something to tell you..."

Musiliao watched as her aunt chatted and laughed as she led her younger brother by the hand into another room, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Ye Shuyin...

The lady entered precisely in the middle of her song; she didn't believe it was a coincidence. As expected of a legitimate daughter, so young and already so cunning.

Ye Shuyue had been contacting her all month, and she knew that Ye Shuyue's target was her second brother, Mu Yunchao.

Ye Shuyue's attitude was extremely cold today. Now that I think about it, she was abandoned as a useless child, and they are now eyeing that little girl Mu Yuxi.

How ridiculous! How could Mu Yunchao, who doesn't even want a maid, possibly get close to him through that little girl?

At least she could find a way to help set up the scheme; what could such a tiny baby possibly do?

Little Yu Xi was sitting in her pretty aunt's lap when she saw her aunt hand her a pastry. She immediately covered her mouth with both hands and shook her head violently.

Feng Yue was a little surprised. "Don't you like the pastries?"

The Duchess also looked puzzled. This little maid usually ate pastries as her main meal. Why did she suddenly change her ways today?

Little Yu Xi quietly placed her little hand on her wrist and then on her tummy. "I'm already full. If I eat any more, my tummy will explode. If my tummy explodes, my pretty auntie won't be able to see such a cute Yu Xi anymore!"

Xiao Yuxi spoke these theories with a serious expression and a firm tone.

Feng Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This child, apart from looking like Siyi, really doesn't resemble her at all in any other way.

“Mmm, Auntie, let me pat your belly,” Fengyue patted her little belly in perfect cooperation and nodded. “Yes, our Xixi’s little belly is all bulging, so she can’t eat anymore. Does that mean she won’t be able to eat any of the delicious food later?”

"Delicious food?" Little Yu Xi raised her little face and looked at her pretty aunt with great seriousness.

"I heard there are sweet meat pieces." As soon as she mentioned a dish, Xiao Yuxi's eyes lit up.

She guessed that someone who could eat so many pastries must have a sweet tooth.

"There are still some," Xiao Yuxi said somewhat awkwardly.

"Anything else? What else?" Feng Yue smiled mischievously, as if she had returned to the time when she was a child and was playing pranks.

"XiXi's tummy still has room, so we can make room for TianTian."

"But Xixi's belly is so swollen, it's obvious there's no room left for her to eat."

"Yes, you can!" Xiao Yuxi said, looking aggrieved. "You can eat there, and there are empty seats."

"Little glutton, I wonder whose nature she inherited, to be so greedy." Feng Yue pinched Xiao Yuxi's delicate little nose and hugged her tightly with affection. "It's okay, Xixi can eat more, chubby is cute."

Looking at her, Feng Yue felt as if she were seeing Si Yi as a child, and felt a pang of tenderness.
