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

In my previous life, I was the steward of Yu Xi Restaurant.

Xiao Xian.

His origins are unknown, and he is cold and indifferent to everyone. According to Yu Xi, he is credited with a large part of the success of her business.

They watched the Mu family members like wolves, and their biggest concern every day was to persuade Yu Xi to leave the capital.

Tsk.

Another trouble.

Mu Yunnan wanted to pull him up, but seeing the blood all over his body, he thought he was still a child. Instead of grabbing him by the collar, he grabbed the clothes around his waist and stretched his arms out straight with disgust.

As long as she's not on the battlefield, she really hates getting her hands on random blood.

Mu Yunnan threw him into the carriage. Looking at the blood on the carriage, he thought to himself that this carriage was no longer usable and he would have to tell the steward to change it when he got back.

Xiao Yuxi slowly moved over, looked at the little boy on the ground, who was covered in blood and unconscious, and looked about the same age as Potato Brother. She asked with some confusion, "Who is he?"

"Him? Xiao Xian."

In his dazed state, Xiao Xian vaguely heard his name mentioned in the words of the person who saved him. His heart sank. How did this person know his name? Could he be an enemy?

Before I could think any further, I fainted again.

As dusk approached, it was already dark by the time they arrived at the Mu residence.

Yu Xi had already been sent back to her courtyard to rest by Yunnan, while she left the two children in her own courtyard.

Mu Yunnan had just rested for a while.

The bodyguard who was changing Xiao Xian's clothes carried a blood-red, tattered, and unrecognizable garment into Yunnan's house.

"Master, we've found something."

The guard laid the clothes flat on the table, tore open the fabric on both sides, and revealed a hidden pocket sewn into the inner fabric.

Yunnan hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to invade privacy, but decided to take a look anyway. She decisively reached out and tore open the clothes, revealing a small portrait inside.

The guard stared for a long time before finally speaking, "Is this the grown-up cousin?"

Mu Yunnan was stunned, staring at the small portrait in his hand.

At first glance, she looks exactly like Xiao Yuxi.

But she had seen Yu Xi after she grew up. She could only say that they looked very similar, but they were completely different. This portrait was more like that of a young lady from a noble family who had lived in a secluded boudoir since childhood.

Rather than saying she resembles Yu Xi, it's more accurate to say she resembles her aunt.

"Furthermore, I discovered that the child has been practicing martial arts since childhood, but his meridians are all severed, and walking may be a problem for him in the future."

No, these things that have already happened mean that they also happened in his previous life. But when she met him, his legs were fine, and he could easily subdue someone causing trouble in a restaurant.

There are doctors who are so skilled that they can even cure severed meridians?

"Have the servants wash these clothes, mend them to their original state, and take good care of that person."

"Yes."

Mu Yunnan pursed his lips slightly, still holding the knife, pushed open the door and left, heading to the second son's courtyard.

Mu Yunchao stopped writing his memorial criticizing the victim. Looking at the uninvited guest who had appeared in his room late at night, he thought for a moment, put down his pen, folded the memorial, and then asked, "If you are asking me for a birthday present, then I am truly sorry, that jade pendant is indeed a birthday present I prepared for you."

“Who asked you about this? Today, when I brought Xixi back from the military camp, I ran into her third sister. It involved human trafficking, so I went there following the clues, but the place was deserted. However, I did find Xiao Xian, who was half-dead, in the basement.”

There was too much information, and Mu Yunchao didn't reply for a moment.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Mu Yunnan asked incredulously.

"Xiao Xian?"

"Isn't the main issue human trafficking?"

Mu Yunchao compromised, "Fine, so you just go and try to catch someone, only to find nothing?"

"Ah."

Looking at Yunnan's self-righteous attitude, Mu Yunchao smiled speechlessly, "And then you alerted them and brought someone back from them?"

Yunnan hesitated for a second, realizing that perhaps something was amiss. "Yes."

Mu Yunchao took a breath. "So what do we need to do now? Are you telling me to arrest these human traffickers who you've already alerted?"

"I only came to you because you're smart, but you're not so great after all..."

"That's why I asked you about Xiao Xian," Mu Yunchao said good-naturedly. "The point isn't human trafficking, the point is Xiao Xian. Is he at the Mu residence?"

It took Mu Yunnan a long time to realize what he meant. "Yes, it's with me."

"In other words, he most likely knows who they are. Xiao Xian is from Liuyun City."

"How did you know?" He didn't even know that she and Yu Xi had such a good relationship, so how could he know?

Mu Yunchao tidied the things on the table before slowly and gracefully standing up. "He told me... Yu Xi is already asleep?"

"Yes, they're already asleep."

"Do you know where your uncle is from?" Seeing Mu Yunnan's blank expression, Mu Yunchao explained, "Your uncle is also from Liuyun City. You did the right thing by saving him; I've been looking for him for a long time."

Mu Yunnan slowly realized that this person seemed to know much more than she did.

"In her past life, Yu Xi was forced to marry by that couple and fled to the county town, where she happened to meet Xiao Xian, who was also on the run. All her martial arts skills came from Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian was a bodyguard left to her by her father, trained specifically for her by her father's faction. It can be said that none of our secret guards can defeat him."

Mu Yunnan recalled that in her previous life, Xiao Xian, who seemed like a kind-hearted person, would always wave a fan around in front of them. She had always thought that Xiao Xian only knew a little bit of martial arts, but she never expected him to be so powerful.

If I had known, I would have forced him to compete against her.

“So, he must know who those people are. Miss Mu, please go back and rest early. I’m going to sleep.” Mu Yunchao pushed Mu Yunnan’s back and pushed her out the door.

Mu Yunnan flipped over to stop the door from closing, "Why do you know so much?"

The voice was clearly tinged with jealousy.

Mu Yun forced a stiff smile, which then vanished. "Because you're stupid."

The door slammed shut with a "snap," and then clicked shut from the inside. Immediately afterwards, all the lights in the room were blown out.

Mu Yunnan kicked his door angrily, "Mu Yunchao!"

"I'm asleep, do not disturb."

Mu Yunnan glanced at the knife at his waist, but before he could think, the person inside spoke again.

"If the door breaks, I won't help you with anything after that."

Mu Yunnan sheathed his knife and turned to leave.

She has always been able to bend and stretch.

Just as I stepped out of the courtyard gate, I saw the butler carrying a box to the old lady's courtyard.

"The gift Ning Zhi gave me this morning was brought to my yard."

"General Ning? General Ning didn't send a gift?" The butler looked bewildered. After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Does the general mean Madam Ning? Madam Ning sent a coral ornament, which is in the storeroom."
