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

The only ones who died young were the girls from the Yun family.

Ye Shuyin lowered her head and thought, not even noticing when the people opposite her left.

The eldest daughter of the Yun family passed away at the young age of 13. Her funeral was very hasty. Moreover, after the eldest daughter's death, the lady of the Yun family also passed away, followed by the old lady. Several funerals were held in succession, which were very grand. Everyone said that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was the lifeline of the Yun family, and she took so many people with her when she passed away.

However, the eldest daughter of the Yun family doesn't seem to have anything outstanding about her, so why would Young Master Mu like her?

Ye Shuyin went further and further down the wrong path of reasoning.

Yingrui hurriedly ran over and saw the second young master holding his cousin's hand as they walked through the flower garden toward her.

Yingrui looked at the young lady with a pale face, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped forward to greet her, "Second Young Master."

Mu Yunchao led Xiao Yuxi forward without looking to the side. He paused as he passed her, noticing that Xiao Yuxi's skirt was covered in dust from the horse farm. Remembering that his grandmother was a very clean person, he said, "Take your daughter to change her clothes."

A hint of hidden joy flickered in Yingrui's eyes. She lowered her head, gave a curtsy, and then led the little girl inside to change her clothes.

Mu Yunchao looked at his unlucky third brother with a hint of disdain, his tone somewhat perfunctory, "Why aren't you going to change your clothes? You're all dirty like this, who do you expect to help you change?"

Mu Yunchen turned his head and made a face at him, snorted, quietly stepped on his second brother's foot, and ran away without looking back.

It felt like we'd never see each other again after this meeting.

Mu Yunchao stared at the black footprints on the white boots, veins bulging on his forehead.

If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles.

"eleven."

"My subordinate is here."

"Tell the housekeeper that the third son's monthly allowance will not be paid for the next six months, and his food allowance will be halved."

Boys are generally treated worse than girls.

As soon as Yingrui entered the room, she closed the door and knelt in front of Yuxi.

"Miss, please save Yinglan! She's my only family." Yingrui kowtowed, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xiao Yuxi stood there, looking somewhat bewildered at Yingrui kneeling and kowtowing. She was puzzled, but instinctively didn't want her to cry.

“Yinglan is only thirteen. She really doesn’t know she’s been drugged. She just thinks it’s something that all the courtyards have to do. Miss, I beg you, please plead for Yinglan. I know you are the kindest person.”

After hearing a string of words, Xiao Yuxi didn't understand a word, but she still wiped her hands on her clothes before stepping forward to wipe Yingrui's tears. "Sister Yingrui, don't cry. What does Xixi want to do?"

Yingrui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and spoke in a trembling voice, "Second Young Master should be taking you to the Old Madam's. Could you please plead for Yinglan later, demote her to a lowly maid, or even sell her off? Just spare Yinglan's life. She's truly my only family."

Xiao Yuxi nodded, looking a little bewildered.

Yingrui stopped crying and smiled, quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, and then got up quickly to help her mistress change her clothes.

The matter was resolved quickly, but the person behind it was never found.

The maid named Yinglan was too young. At the time, everyone thought that a younger maid could play with Yuxi. This one incident almost led to a big mistake.

This little maid really doesn't understand the difference between what's important and what's not.

A servant casually slipped her something, saying that it was something that every courtyard needed to use, and that it could repel ants and insects once it dried on the bed.

She actually believed it.

Moreover, without even considering asking the steward to verify the authenticity of the matter, they directly applied an unknown substance to their master's wooden bed.

The servant who initially gave her the medicine had tragically fallen into the water and died three days prior. She had been a lowly servant since entering the Mu household and had never had any contact with any masters or servants.

It actually broke right here, completely naked.

In this way, it becomes impossible to trace the matter back to any one person.

Yinglan's words were confirmed by others, who all said that it was indeed the first time they had seen Yinglan talking to that person that day, and that they had personally witnessed Yinglan carrying the small bucket back.

Moreover, Yinglan was born into a household, and aside from being somewhat dull-witted, she would not willingly betray her master for personal gain. This fact was also confirmed in her previous life.

So it's true that someone in the manor is deliberately targeting Miss Biao, but it's impossible to find out exactly who it is.

As the Duchess was thinking, she saw the little maid being held in Mu Yunchao's arms as they slowly walked over.

The Duchess shook her head, put down her teacup, and went to greet her.

He took Yu Xi in both hands and carried her into the courtyard.

"Tingfeng Garden".

This courtyard was specifically used to discipline the servants.

"aunt."

"What's wrong, Xixi?"

"Did Yinglan do something wrong?" Xiao Yuxi tilted her head and looked at her aunt.

The Duchess hesitated for a moment. She had originally intended to handle the matter herself, but Yun Chao said that Yu Xi's servants should be dealt with by Yu Xi herself. Such arbitrary and selfish actions, protecting her in a greenhouse, would only harm her.

Yunshang was raised in the same way from childhood, becoming the head of the noble families and the most talented woman in the capital.

But Yu Xi, for some time now, has been unable to make a decision.

reluctant...

I'm so reluctant to leave...

Yu Xi suffered so much in her previous life, so she wanted little Yu Xi to grow up peacefully and carefree in this life.

But why is even this idea so difficult to realize?

But Yu Xi was born under the sun and possesses the indomitable pride of the Mu family, so how could she be content to live in a greenhouse?

"Yes. I was just about to tell you about this." The Duchess spoke gently and slowly, trying her best to make sure Yu Xi could hear and understand every word. She also kept her tone as calm as possible, as if they were peers, and she was simply telling Yu Xi about the matter so that she could choose how to handle it.

Xiao Yuxi listened very attentively. After she finished listening, she looked at the tightly closed door in the courtyard. There wasn't a sound at all.

"If it weren't for her godmother, Xixi would have died, right?"

Mu Yunchao had been standing beside Yu Xi. When he suddenly heard the word "death," his heart clenched as if it were being squeezed tightly, and he felt as if it was about to explode.

The Duchess's eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a long time before saying, "This medicine is quite rare. If the illness develops several months later, it will be fatal, and the onset is extremely rapid, making it impossible to determine whether the death was due to poisoning."

Xiao Yuxi looked up into the Duchess's eyes and said, "Xixi will die a terrible death, won't she?"

Mu Yunchao placed his hand on Xiao Yuxi's head and said almost with a sigh, "Xixi, don't say the word 'death.' Xixi won't die. Xixi will grow up safely. Just like this time, your second brother will catch the person behind the scenes."

Torn to pieces.
