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

The woman smiled, took out a jar of maltose being stirred with a wooden stick, and handed it to Mu Yunchen. "Little sister, shall I take you to find your mother?"

The woman patiently persuaded him.

Mu Yunchen was internally rolling her eyes so hard they were practically rolling to the sky, but on the surface she still looked aggrieved, which made people's hearts melt.

The woman gently took Mu Yunchen's small hand and slowly led him into the alley.

Mu Yunchen ate the cloyingly sweet malt candy while complaining inwardly.

"What happened to the rule that anyone who showed up would be detained?"

"He's already reached the alley entrance, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Are these people crazy? Just watching him get taken away like that?"

"If his underlings find out he was kidnapped, how will he ever be able to show his face in Beijing?"

"Wow, nobody's really doing anything about him?"

As soon as they entered the alley, the woman, who had been gentle, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose until he fainted on the ground, then kicked him.

She combed her hair up, took off her outer skirt, wrapped Mu Yunchen up like a silkworm cocoon, carried her on her back, and walked into the deep alley.

Mu Yunnan shoved Xi Xi into Xie Yaochuan's arms, who had no martial arts skills, and then used his lightness skill to chase after him.

Xie Yaochuan gestured for the guards to follow, then reached out and pinched Xiao Yuxi's cheek, "You've gotten a little fatter than last time."

Xiao Yuxi retorted, "Xixi isn't fat."

Xie Yaochuan suppressed a laugh and nodded, "Yes, Xixi isn't fat. But last time, Xixi was calling me 'brother' and clung to me, unwilling to leave. How come she's saying I'm bad this time?"

Xiao Yuxi said earnestly, "Second brother said that you only deceive children. Last time you tried to kidnap Xixi and take her home. Once Xixi leaves, she will never come back."

Xie Yaochuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of coldness creeping into his smile.

Well done, Mu Yunchao.

I really underestimated you.

He speaks ill of others behind their backs, yet they still call him the number one gentleman of the Moon Kingdom, a refined and elegant young man.

In reality, their hearts are smaller than the eye of a pin.

Xie Yaochuan inwardly scoffed, but maintained his smile. "Your second brother is wrong. Having another brother will only bring you more favor. Who said I'm just lying to children? I've only ever liked you. As long as you're younger than me, you're my sister. Even if you live in the Mu residence, you're still my sister, right?"

Xiao Yuxi nodded, seemingly confused.

This seems to be the case.

"So next time you see me, you have to call me 'brother'."

Xiao Yuxi blinked her eyes and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother."

Xie Yaochuan frantically suppressed the smile on his lips.

This is too cute!

Mu Yunnan followed the man all the way to a small courtyard.

The man rudely threw Mu Yunchen, who was on his shoulder, to the ground.

Mu Yunnan looked somewhat reluctant.

Although she often bullied Mu Yunchen, she only ever gave him a couple of light slaps, making a lot of noise but doing little real harm.

After all, Yun Chen was so much younger than her, and she actually liked her younger brother very much when he was first born.

But later he became so naughty that she couldn't stand it anymore and gave him a simple scolding.

In other circumstances, however, Yun Chen had always been pampered and spoiled, even more so than the girls in his family. He had never experienced being kicked and thrown to the ground so casually, neither in this life nor the previous one.

Even his later martial arts training and military service went smoothly.

After this ordeal, I'll probably be covered in bruises when I get home.

The woman locked Mu Yunchen in the cage and sat down in a chair, looking like she was waiting for someone.

Mu Yunnan hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait.

Since we're already suffering, there's no difference between suffering more or less.

After a short while, two older men pushed a small cart into the yard.

"You just ran away from one yesterday, and you have the nerve to make a move?"

"Don't worry, no one saw it. I watched for a while, and her mother didn't seem to value her much. I guess she failed to reunite with her family. I don't know what these village girls are thinking. Do they really think that having a child with these officials' fleeting affairs will allow them to climb the social ladder? This is the most despised thing in the capital." The woman got up and kicked the cage. Seeing that Mu Yunchen was still unconscious, she sneered.

"After this deal is completed in Beijing, we'll take a two-week break and focus on other areas first. We'll start again once the market cools down."

"Okay, Sister Yue."

The man pulled Mu Yunchen out of the cage and carefully examined her face. "This little girl is quite pretty. I wonder whose illegitimate daughter she is. She's worth a lot of money."

"I feel like this girl looks familiar."

"I think I've seen it somewhere before."

“That makes sense. They’ve been staring at him on the street every day, so they probably just glanced at him because he looked good. Let’s go, put him together with the other stuff we had before.”

The two men put Mu Yunchen on the carriage and tied him up tightly. They then filled the carriage with vegetables before pretending to be honest and simple-minded and pushing the carriage out of the city.

Mu Yunnan gave him a wink and quickly followed.

The four guards who remained only jumped down and grabbed the woman who was lazily about to take a nap after their master had gone far away.

"Who are you! Do you know who I am?!" The woman looked incredulous; she was certain no one was with her! Could it be that those two had given themselves away?

Something that is more than enough to succeed but more than enough to fail!

The guards always obeyed orders without uttering a word of nonsense, and immediately escorted her to the Dali Temple.

This was instructed by the master in advance.

When Mu Yunchen woke up, he found himself tightly bound and gagged, unable to move or make a sound.

Before him was a green expanse that looked like vegetables, but it was so close that he could only see the green color.

He's been unconscious for so long! Why hasn't his second sister rescued him yet?

What happened to the promise that once he lured someone out, he would immediately bring that person to justice?

Why is he moving at high speed now?

The car suddenly stopped.

The guards at the city gate looked at the cart full of vegetables with some doubt. "It's not even dark yet, why aren't you displaying all these vegetables?"

"There's no other way. I just got the medicine, and my elderly relatives are waiting for it."

The man casually picked up two bunches of vegetables, glanced at them, and let them pass.

Mu Yunnan frowned deeply. New regulations had just been issued not long ago, yet these people were already so casual and perfunctory, letting such obviously problematic cars pass by so easily.

This is too outrageous.

Mu Yunchen went from initial excitement to complete calm. These people were indeed as lazy as ever; it was just like that in his past life, which was why so many barbarians came to assassinate him. No wonder the Yue Kingdom collapsed so quickly.

Fine, whatever. Even if they don't come to rescue him, he can find a way to escape.

It wasn't until they stopped at an abandoned city god temple in the suburbs and didn't come out for a long time that Mu Yunnan led his men inside.
