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

Mu Yunnan's words were pointed.

Looking at the distance between the long sword between his legs and that spot, Hu's father seemed to freeze in his mind, no longer daring to utter any more nonsense.

"Yes...yes..." Father Hu gritted his teeth and decisively shifted all the blame, "It was my good-for-nothing eldest daughter who tricked Er Ya out, pushed her into the snow, and then went to Hu to claim she was a child of the Mu family..."

Mr. Hu stammered incoherently, but he threw away every pot he could find. He insisted it had nothing to do with him; he was a father who deeply loved his daughter.

Madam Hu brought her eldest daughter to apologize, and just then she overheard her husband blaming all the blame on their eldest daughter.

Madam Hu hardened her heart and grabbed her eldest daughter by the hair, dragging her into the courtyard. Then she kicked her legs hard, forcing her to kneel down.

Daya was never beaten by her parents from childhood to adulthood; it was always her second younger sister who was beaten, and it was always her second younger sister who did the heavy work.

Suddenly kicked by her mother, she knelt on the ground, turned to look at her mother in disbelief, her eyes brimming with tears.

"It's all because of that heartless little brat! She actually pushed my sister into the snowdrift! We really had no idea! Miss Mu, we're innocent! I never imagined she would do something so stupid out of jealousy!"

Daya looked at the long knife on the ground and suddenly struggled frantically to escape.

But her own mother slapped her hard across the face.

In an instant, she could not hear any sound, and her ears rang.

Daya shook her head frantically and shouted, "You were the ones who said I was the Mu family's young lady! I am! Why did Erya suddenly take my place! You are not my parents!"

Daya knelt on the ground and crawled frantically toward Mu Yunnan, but was grabbed by Hu Niangzi's leg.

Da Ya raised her head, "I am the Mu family's young lady! You've been deceived by them! I am!"

Daya's voice was extremely shrill, as if she were a madwoman kicking at Hu Niangzi's hand that was holding her leg.

Mu Yunnan was too lazy to watch this dog-eat-dog show anymore. He looked at the man left behind by the county magistrate and saw him nod before turning around and going back into the house. Halfway there, he left a sentence, "Keep your life."

"Yes."

Ignoring the noise and insults outside, he reached out and touched Yu Xi's forehead; it was still burning hot, she still had a high fever.

Mu Yunnan didn't sleep a wink all night, patiently wiping her entire body again and again to cool her down.

It wasn't until dawn that the little girl's body temperature completely returned to normal.

Mu Yunnan carefully carried her into the carriage, took out the route map he had drawn yesterday, carefully instructed the coachman on precautions, and then held her hand and leaned back in the carriage to doze off.

When Mu Yuxi woke up, she felt as if she were sinking into soft cotton. She had never slept in such a comfortable place before.

The little head struggled to lift itself from the cashmere blanket, its round eyes sparkling as it looked around.

A small, square house, and a beautiful older sister with her eyes closed.

Mu Yuxi blinked in confusion. Had she arrived at the heavenly realm that the village elders had mentioned?

Did a deity come to take her away?

Mu Yuxi struggled out of the tightly wrapped quilt, touched the soft wool blanket next to her, and sat up by supporting her small body.

The little house seems to be moving?

Mu Yuxi tilted her head in confusion, looked at the curtains beside her, and reached out her small hand to try to pull them open.

He lost his balance and fell forward.

Mu Yunnan quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Mu Yunnan woke up when she did, but seeing her cute little actions, he couldn't help but secretly watch her from the side.

She has several younger siblings, but she always found them annoyingly noisy. However, every little thing Yu Xi did touched her heart. Her whole heart softened.

Mu Yuxi stared at her in a daze, wondering how this older sister had caught her. Wow, that's amazing!

Mu Yunnan reached out and pinched her little face, feeling a little sorry for her. Her mischievous little brother was about the same age as her, but he was already two or three times as fat as her.

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Mu Yunnan looked at her gently, trying to dispel his stern aura and become more approachable.

Mu Yuxi shook her head in a daze. This was the first time someone had been so gentle with her.

Mu Yuxi paused for a long time before asking her, "Who are you? Are you a celestial being? Will you take me away?"

Mu Yunnan gently tidied the yellowed hair on Yu Xi's forehead caused by malnutrition. "I'm not a fairy from heaven, I'm your sister, here to take you home."

"Sister?" Mu Yuxi blinked her beautiful big eyes, filled with doubt.

The older sister has a new family. Has she also found a new family?

"Are you my new big sister?" Mu Yuxi's voice was soft and sweet, both obedient and gentle.

“I’m not the eldest sister, you should call me second sister. The eldest sister is at home, she will definitely like you very much. In fact, the whole family will like you very much. Yu Xi is so cute, no one will dislike you.”

"Second sister?"

“Yes.” Mu Yunnan smiled, his eyebrows curving upwards.

"Yu Xi?"

"Yu Xi is the baby's name, Mu Yu Xi. When we have paper and pen, Second Sister will teach Yu Xi how to write her name."

her name?

She has a name now?

Don't we have to get our own names only after we get married, as they say?

Yu Xi was immersed in her own little world.

Mu Yunnan didn't find it strange at all, and just carefully held her, afraid that she might bump into something. Her fever hadn't subsided for long, and she was still weak, so the cotton-padded coat she wore in the countryside was ultimately useless, and she still needed to get some new clothes.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunnan raised his hand and gently tapped the side of the carriage. "Let's find a city ahead to rest and recuperate."

"Yes."

Suddenly, the little one in my arms coughed violently, his face turning red, but he couldn't stop.

Mu Yunnan patted the little girl's back tenderly, wishing he could suffer in her place.

"Good girl, just bear with it a little longer, we'll be in the city soon." He said, taking out a piece of medicinal herb and letting Yu Xi put it in her mouth.

Before leaving, she specifically asked the head doctor for medicines for all possible complications, and they were ultimately used.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Be a good baby, just bear with it a little longer, okay?"

The second sister was gentle and kind. Mu Yuxi had always been a strong and good child. Even when she was beaten or scolded by her mother, she would not easily shed tears. However, she could no longer hold back her tears when her second sister asked her gently.

She clutched her second sister's clothes tightly, buried her head in them, and secretly shed tears.

No one ever asked her if she was in pain or discomfort. Every time she tried to speak, all she saw was undisguised disgust in their eyes.

But the second sister's eyes were completely filled with her.

Mu Yunnan felt helpless after realizing the little girl was crying.

She had been to the imperial court and the battlefield, but she had always been at ease. She had never felt so helpless before.

Mu Yunnan gently patted her thin, small body.

After a while, the little girl in my arms stopped moving.

Mu Yunnan looked down at her, reached out and stroked her flushed cheeks, his expression slightly serious.

It's on fire again!
