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

It had indeed been far too long; she couldn't remember any of her four children's birthdays.

So many things happened back then. In the end, Yunnan and Yunchen were fighting the enemy outside, Yunchao basically lived in the outer residence, and Yunshang was far away in the palace. Then, that kind of thing happened to her.

After her rebirth, she saw little Yun Chen and realized that she had forgotten what they looked like. Only when she saw them did she have the feeling of "So this is my child" from another life.

“You’re right, I’ve neglected them too much. No matter what happened, they are my flesh and blood, my dearest people, and I shouldn’t forget them. Fengyue, thank you.”

Feng Yue assumed she was referring to neglecting the second young lady, and smiled, "It's not time yet. We'll celebrate the second young lady's birthday properly tomorrow. Alright, everything else is confirmed, except for the wooden bed. We still need to report it to the old lady first."

The old lady held the sleeping little Yu Xi in her arms, looking at her pink and tender little face and drooping eyelashes. She felt a little sad, but she held back her anger.

"Those people who dare to drug the Duke of Mu's mansion are really asking for trouble." The old lady reached out and tightened the blankets around Xiao Yuxi, handed the sleeping baby to the maid, and watched as she entered the Duke's wife's room without being woken up. Only then did her originally gentle face turn gloomy.

"She was drugged at home. Yu Xi has only been back for a few days. She got hurt and was drugged. If Feng Yue hadn't come back this time, she probably wouldn't have found out until the poison took effect."

The Duchess lowered her eyelashes, appearing submissive. Only after the old lady's breathing had calmed slightly did she speak, "This was indeed a management issue. During previous inspections, we never suspected anyone would poison the wooden bed. It was my carelessness."

The old lady looked at her docile daughter-in-law and sighed, "This is indeed not your fault. This kind of poison is probably not an ordinary poison. We have never even heard of it, let alone the servants in this household."

In her past life, she was a Buddhist and lived in a temple for several years. When she returned, she didn't see that the girl had gotten into any trouble.

In other words, this poison is something that didn't happen in my previous life.

That means the rewriting has already begun. Although the rewriting isn't perfect, it also means that the future isn't unchangeable.

The Duchess pondered for a moment.

The old lady was right. The source of the medicine was the easiest part to investigate. Servants lived a life of routine, taking pride in their master's glory. They never betrayed their master in their previous life, so how could they possibly betray him on something like this? Only those who bought it and those outsiders were the key targets for investigation.

Mu Yunnan listened to their cryptic conversation, her brow furrowed. In her view, it was better to kill ten thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free. "Just sell all the servants who came into contact with the wooden bed."

The Duchess glanced at her with a hint of helplessness and said slowly, "What if she wasn't a servant?"

Not a servant?

Only a few of them had contact with Yu Xi. It couldn't be that Mu Yunnan drugged her own sister, could it? Would she even be human?

"How could that be? You wouldn't drug Xixi."

The Duchess shook her head. "You can know a person's face but not their heart."

Mu Yunnan suddenly thought of the concubines in her family. In her previous life, her father returned the indentures to the concubines and released all the concubines. She had forgotten that there were such concubines in her family in this life.

They're capable of anything. But to drug a child who poses absolutely no threat to their interests instead of her and her mother is hard to imagine.

Are they... just too idle?

Was he bored and had nothing better to do, so he randomly picked someone to drug and practice on?

It's really an accident that they've lived to be this old.

"This matter has already been communicated to the master, and he will certainly handle it seriously."

Mu Yunnan nodded as he listened to his mother's words. That's true. Father knows = Mu Yunchao knows = this matter will definitely be handled properly.

She had a lot of confidence in Yun Chao's intelligence.

The old lady nodded in approval. "It's good that you have an idea. If you can't handle it, just report it to the authorities. Don't be afraid of losing face in this matter. It would be truly shameful if we couldn't even protect the children of the Mu family."

"Yes."

When Xiao Yuxi woke up, it was already evening. She struggled to get out of bed and looked at the big bed in front of her, feeling somewhat lost.

Why did she change to a strange place to sleep again?

It looks a bit like my aunt's room?

Yingrui noticed that her young master had woken up and hurriedly came in to help him get dressed.

The front courtyard was in an uproar; almost all the maids' and guards' rooms, including those of the concubines, had been searched. It was said that someone had drugged the Duchess, and she was furious, demanding a thorough investigation.

Even the second young master, who had never interfered in matters of the inner quarters, took full charge of the matter, determined to seek justice for the Duchess.

However, the women in the lady's courtyard all guessed that it might be related to the young master who was half asleep.

It has to be said that this young master is someone whom the Duke of Mu's mansion cherishes dearly.

We cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake.

"Yingrui, how did I end up sleeping here?"

Her small bedroom was just a few steps away from her aunt's. She actually preferred her carved wooden bed, which was very beautiful.

My aunt's daughter is older, but she's not as pretty as her!

"The young lady's room needs to be renovated into a bigger and nicer house, so she will be staying with the madam for the time being. She will be able to move into the new house in about seven days."

Yingrui became even more convinced that the poisoning was likely directed at her young master.

However, based on her care during this period, the little master has no other symptoms other than loving to sleep and eat snacks.

Moreover, she was in charge of arranging all of the young master's food, clothing, housing and transportation. If something happened to the young master, shouldn't she be the first one to be investigated?

too weird.

Stopping thinking about it, Yingrui carefully dressed up Xiaoyuxi and took her to the banquet in the front yard that hadn't ended yet.

Although the inner quarters were in turmoil, to outsiders it was just that the Duke of Mu's mansion had an urgent matter, and the main members had temporarily left to attend to it, while they continued to eat and drink as usual.

Yingrui, holding Xiaoyuxi's soft, chubby little hand, walked through the garden and bowed to the man walking towards them, saying, "Greetings, sir."

Xiao Yuxi looked up at the imposing man opposite her with some confusion in her eyes; she had never seen him before.

Yingrui whispered a reminder from the side, "The young lady can call him uncle."

uncle?

He's my aunt's husband!

Her mother's own brother!

Once Xiaoyuxi understood the relationship, she looked at him with bright eyes and called out in a clear voice, "Uncle!"
