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

Unexpectedly, the next second, Xiao Yuxi held the bowl, which was bigger than her face, in both hands and gulped it all down in one go.

Yingrui took the bowl, which was completely empty of medicine residue, in a daze, somewhat shocked.

Well... back then, when the Third Young Master refused to take his medicine, the whole mansion was in chaos.

The young lady just drank it without saying she wanted to?

Seeing the little girl's face scrunched up in pain, he didn't complain at all, and quickly unwrapped a piece of candy to feed her.

This little lady is so well-behaved!

Yingrui was incredibly soft-hearted. Remembering the hardships her young mistress had endured, she felt even more tender. She was determined to protect such a wonderful young mistress and not let anyone bully her.

Xiao Yuxi quickly ate the candy, crunching away. She had never eaten such sweet candy before. After finishing, she looked at Yingrui with sparkling eyes and said in her childish voice, "I want more candy."

Yingrui watched as the young lady winked at her, as if she were being affectionate, and her heart softened even more. She immediately placed all the candies she had taken next to her, saying, "Miss, you can have whatever you want."

After ten days or so, no one from the Mu family came to visit the new cousin. Mu Yunnan had completely given up on them. Anyway, her status was high enough. Once her general's mansion was built, she would take her and leave this heartless, desolate place.

In the past ten days or so, the little girl who was originally as thin as a paper doll has become noticeably fuller and her complexion is much better than before.

"Xiao Yuxi, do you want to go fly a kite?" Mu Yunnan shook the exquisite butterfly kite in his hand, letting it swing twice in the air.

Sure enough, I was very pleased to see Xiao Yuxi's little head turn in the direction the kite in her hand was spinning; it was so cute!

"Want~" Xiao Yuxi ran to Mu Yunnan's side. The little one was wrapped in a thick fluffy coat and had her hair in a cute bun with a soft white pom-pom on it. She swayed as she ran.

Mu Yunnan picked up Xiao Yuxi with one hand, wrapped her in her little clothes, and walked towards the Mu family garden.

"Second sister, is the kite a gift for Yu Xi?" Little Yu Xi hugged Mu Yunnan's neck and tilted her head to look at her.

"Yes, this kite was specially commissioned by my second sister."

"Wow!" Xiao Yuxi exclaimed.

"Aren't you happy?"

Little Yu Xi hugged Mu Yunnan and gave her a big kiss on the cheek, saying, "Yu Xi loves Second Sister the most!"

Although it's not yet March, the weather is nice today. There's a light breeze, but it's not biting, making it perfect for flying kites.

Mu Yunnan launched the kite high into the air before handing it to Xiao Yuxi, who had already reached a stable height. He then squatted down, held Xiao Yuxi's small hand, and taught her how to play with it.

Seeing that Xiaoyuxi could play by herself, I simply let go of her hand and let her play to her heart's content.

His smiling expression faded when he saw the guards in the distance. Had something happened at the border?

Seeing the change in Mu Yunnan's expression, Yingrui stepped forward decisively, "General, please go and handle your business. Miss is at the Mu residence, so nothing will happen to her."

Mu Yunnan looked at Xiao Yuxi, who was having fun by herself, and couldn't bear to interrupt her at this time and leave her alone in the room. "You stay here and guard the young lady. You are not allowed to leave her side. If anyone dares to talk back, just use my name."

"The slaves obey."

Yingrui followed carefully behind Xiaoyuxi. With each step Xiaoyuxi took, her heart trembled, fearing that she might accidentally bump into something. Although Xiaoyuxi didn't cry or make a fuss, it felt as if the pain was on her body.

Xiao Yuxi held onto the kite, watching it flutter and fly like a butterfly, the light in her eyes never fading.

She had never flown a kite before, but her younger brother had a really beautiful one. She touched it once, and her brother cried. Then she was pulled down and beaten severely, so badly that she couldn't sit on a stool for three days.

Now she has a kite too, and it's so much prettier than her brother's!

"Miss, slow down, be careful not to fall." Yingrui hurriedly chased after her, clutching her little cloak.

With a "bang," Xiao Yuxi bumped into someone and fell to the ground. Her little hand scratched a stone next to her, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.

"Ouch—"

Xiao Yuxi hurriedly looked at the other person, a woman who looked about the same age as her second sister, who was sitting on the ground, clutching her stomach and leaning back.

Yingrui quickly stepped forward, picked up Xiaoyuxi, and checked her to see if she had fallen anywhere.

Upon seeing the bleeding cuts on her hands, she immediately tried to pick up Xiaoyuxi and leave to see a doctor.

"Stop! You think you can just walk away after bumping into Madam?" The maid next to the woman who was knocked down screamed, grabbing Yingrui's hand tightly.

Ignoring the pain in her hand, Xiao Yuxi rushed forward to help her older sister up, but the older sister seemed unable to get up, lying half-reclined on the ground, constantly groaning and crying.

Another maid pushed Xiao Yuxi away, not allowing her to touch the woman who had fallen to the ground. Xiao Yuxi felt helpless and anxiously looked at Yingrui.

"She's bleeding! Someone come quick! The First Madam has blew her menstrual blood!"

Yingrui was also stunned by this scene and could only struggle to break free from the maid's hand and protect Xiaoyuxi in her arms.

Although it was supposed to be fallen petals, Yingrui saw that there wasn't a single drop of blood on the ground. She was the only one on the ground, constantly saying things like "it hurts so much."

Even the most foolish person could see at a glance that they had been set up.

Yingrui felt a chill run down her spine, wondering when she had taken a liking to them, but she still carefully protected Xiao Yuxi in her arms, covering her ears to prevent her from hearing.

Yingrui watched their performance quietly. She recognized the woman lying on the ground as the eldest son's new wife. The eldest son was born out of wedlock, had never held any official position, and knew nothing. The old lady was kind and hadn't allowed him to live separately after the marriage, letting the Mu family support him instead. His wife was said to be the daughter of a merchant family, of low social standing, but he was determined to marry her, so the old lady let him have his way.

Now they're making a fuss about the Mu family's children; I'm afraid these children aren't even the eldest son's.

Yingrui's gaze was heavy, and she felt agitated. Although she knew all this, she was of low status and her words were useless; no one would believe her anyway.

Even if a child is born out of wedlock, they are still half a master, and the words of a master are always more useful than those of servants.

“We are General Mu Yunnan’s men. You’d better think twice before you do anything.” Yingrui spoke in a very soft voice, trying to resolve the matter as easily as possible.

But the maidservant beside her, as if she wanted to stir up trouble, shouted loudly, "Does General Mu's men think they can harm Mu family descendants at will? This is Mu family's first great-grandson!"
