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

Musiliao's face turned pale for a moment, then she gradually came to her senses. This woman's mouth was really filthy.

"If you don't pay me today, I'll make this a public spectacle throughout the entire capital! Let's see if this Mu family girl is shameless or if the rest of the Mu family are even more shameless! I'll see if you, who aren't even married yet, can find a husband!"

Although Mu Siliao lived outside the Mu family for several years, she was brought into the Mu family after she turned five and grew up in luxury like a real young lady. Although she was cunning, she had never encountered such a shameless and unreasonable person.

But she couldn't stay there for too long. If she made such a fuss and attracted other people, the whole mansion would know that she had escaped from confinement.

Musiliao closed her eyes, took a soft breath, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

"How much do you want?" Musiliao asked calmly, calculating in her mind.

I'll see if you have the fate to want it, and whether you have the fate to take it.

"Not much. The Mu family's cousin was raised in luxury in my home until she was five years old. Asking for five hundred taels of gold isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Ning Zhi wanted to say something, but this was, after all, a family matter of the Mu family. If he really got involved, it would really cause a big fuss.

"Five hundred taels?" Mu Siliao's eyes were full of mockery; she really dared to ask that.

“Alright, Young Master Ning, please let go first. I’ll take this person into the manor to get the money.”

Ning Zhi looked at her calm demeanor, released her hand with some confusion, nodded, and watched her lead the woman into the Mu residence before turning to leave.

After all, within the Mu family mansion, there was nothing this woman could do.

Madam Hu hadn't expected things to turn out so quickly. Thinking about the five hundred taels of gold she was about to receive, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

I followed behind this little girl, afraid that if I slowed down even a step, she would disappear.

But this extravagant scene was something she had never seen in her decades of life. Even the tea set casually placed outside was a top-quality jade pot. Every flower, plant, and tree in the courtyard had been carefully tended, and even the direction of the leaves had been meticulously designed.

Madam Hu looked at the courtyard in shock. Following the girl, she wandered around and entered a rather ordinary courtyard, which was no longer the same as the previous one.

"Is this your courtyard?" Madam Hu's eyes were full of suspicion.

Musiliao smiled gently, "I am a concubine's daughter, those courtyards in front are all for the legitimate family."

Upon hearing this, Madam Hu's doubts vanished. Indeed, it was fitting for a concubine's daughter to live in this courtyard. Although it was a bit more desolate than the previous ones, it was still more luxurious than any other house outside, and it was undoubtedly the courtyard of a young master.

Musiliao pushed open a door, a smile playing on her lips. "Sit down for a bit, I'll go get it."

Madam Hu nodded haphazardly, looking at the items displayed inside with some shock, and couldn't help but touch the exquisite vase with one hand.

Goodness, how much does this thing cost?

Musiliao casually picked up a piece of wood that had fallen off a chair, walked silently to the man, and suddenly swung it.

Madam Hu's vision blurred, she let out a wail, knelt on the ground, clutching the back of her head, blood flowing steadily from between her fingers.

Seeing that she still had the strength to try to get up, Musiliao hit her with three more wooden sticks, and only threw the sticks on the ground when she was completely knocked to the ground.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. She was just a peasant woman, yet she dared to yell at her. Didn't she know her place?

This courtyard was where Mu Siyi used to live, and it has been abandoned for five years now. It just happened to have been cleaned this year. The wooden chairs here are exquisite, but they are already rotten. Things that should be obvious at a glance, this peasant woman could only see the vase on the table, which is found in every room of the Mu family mansion.

It's really ridiculous.

Musiliao pushed over a nearby bookshelf, which landed on her head, creating the illusion that she had been accidentally killed during a theft.

It may be another month or two before the body is discovered.

Musiliao thought to herself, then turned and left without lingering.

The moment she turned around, the person pressed down by the bookshelf twitched their fingers slightly.

-

Today was the first time Mu Yunnan had slept in at the Mu residence, and he didn't get up until after lunchtime.

He quickly made do with what he had to do and headed straight for his mother's courtyard. But when he saw that the main house door was closed, he became a little scared and didn't dare to go to see his mother. Instead, he pretended that he had come to see Yu Xi and went to Yu Xi's little house instead.

Yu Xi's little house was decorated very comfortably, with every corner covered with cloth to prevent any bumps or knocks.

Xiao Yuxi was also very lazy, burying her head in the quilt and not moving at all.

Mu Yunnan reached out and pulled the blanket down, revealing the little girl's chin.

The little girl frowned, still fast asleep, and pouted somewhat unhappily.

Mu Yunnan thought for a moment, then saw the shuttlecock next to him, plucked a feather from it, and quietly waved it around her nose.

The little girl suddenly sneezed and turned her head to the side.

Yingrui stood to the side with some concern, watching the second young lady bully the young mistress. "Second young lady, when the young lady wakes up and cries, won't you still have to comfort her?"

Why bother?

Mu Yunnan didn't care and reached out to touch Xiao Yuxi's other side.

After being tried and tried many times, Xiao Yuxi finally showed a slight sign of waking up.

In her dazed state, Xiao Yuxi felt very wronged. She had finally found a place where she wouldn't be cold, but why were people constantly chasing her away? She ran and ran, but still couldn't find a quiet place to sleep.

The little girl became increasingly aggrieved, her mind filled with nothing but the words "I want to sleep," and finally she couldn't hold back her tears.

The little girl cried with a pitiful look on her face, burying herself in the blankets and secretly shedding tears. Only faint sobs could be heard, and her little shoulders trembled. She looked extremely pitiful.

Mu Yunnan paused slightly, then suddenly became somewhat panicked.

She had teased the little girl like this before, and after being woken up, the little girl would just obediently get up and let others wash and dress her. But today, she actually cried!

Mu Yunnan could hardly believe his hands.

How could you be so annoying!

Mu Yunnan picked up the little girl, held her in his arms, and patted her back repeatedly.

Xiao Yuxi sobbed, burying her head in Mu Yunnan's arms. It took her a long time to come to her senses, and she opened her eyes somewhat blankly.

Her eyes were still wet with tears.

Xiao Yuxi stood in her second sister's arms in a daze for a while before slowly realizing what was happening. When she saw that her second sister's clothes were wet with tears, her face suddenly turned bright red.

It's bright red, like a big apple.

"Xi Xi didn't mean it." Xiao Yu Xi tried to escape from her second sister's embrace, but she didn't struggle at all. She just looked up at her second sister and apologized softly.

Mu Yunnan remained calm and composed, gently stroking Xiao Yuxi's soft, long hair. "It's alright, Second Sister has forgiven Xixi."

Seeing that Xi Xi still looked a little dazed from just waking up, Mu Yunnan patted her back. "I heard you wanted to ride a pony yesterday? How about we go to the military camp? The ponies there are specially trained."
