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

Mu Yunchao's heart skipped a beat when he heard her sobbing.

This was the first time he had heard Yu Xi cry.

In her past life, no matter what happened, she always felt that everything was under her control, and she remained extremely calm no matter how big the event was.

Now that she's cried, she finally realizes that she truly considers him family...

Mu Yunchao gently patted her back and coaxed her softly, "Xixi, don't cry. Next time, your brother won't let you get scared again."

Xiao Yuxi buried her head in her second brother's arms and quietly wiped her tears with his clothes before calming down.

But I was still too embarrassed to look up.

They all said that her second brother was extremely clean, and she had dirtied his clothes.

Mu Yunchao looked at the dead man on the carriage, then at the well-behaved Fifteenth Prince standing to the side, and at the Yan family girl who immediately fell silent upon seeing him.

"Fifteen, take her back. Stab the one in the car twice more and bury him. Then go wait in the study."

Fifteen's eyes flickered, realizing that she had overstepped her bounds today. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Yes."

After they left, Xiao Yuxi straightened up and looked at the large wet patch on her second brother's shoulder, saying, "You've gotten your clothes dirty, second brother."

Mu Yunchao didn't seem to mind and smiled as he reassured her, "It's alright. You can just change your clothes."

"Big sister, how is it?" Xiao Yuxi asked, mustering her courage.

Mu Yunchao was somewhat shocked. Wasn't this little girl not at the National Temple when the incident occurred? How did she know about this?

But after a quick thought, he guessed that the little girl might have overheard the group talking. "Your older sister is fine, just some minor injuries, she'll be fine in a few days."

Little Yu Xi nodded obediently, yawned, and snuggled up in her second brother's arms to fall asleep.

Mu Yunchao slowly slowed down the horse, looked at the sleeping little girl in his arms, and couldn't help but smile slightly. He found a more comfortable position for her to lie down.

-

After settling the little girl in, Mu Yunchao came out of the courtyard and saw Mu Yunnan, whose blade was still dripping blood, holding the broadsword between the two of them.

Mu Yunchao looked up at her.

"Mu Yunchao, let me ask you, what do you take Xixi for? A tool for the Mu family to get promoted and make money?" Mu Yunnan glared at him angrily with red eyes.

"Do you really think someone who didn't even return to his homeland in his previous life would care so much about power? What's the use of getting promoted and making money? What use is the future of the Mu family to me? Mu Yunnan, if it weren't for your dedication to protecting the territory, my idea after being reborn would be to take Xi Xi and leave the capital, never to return."

Mu Yunnan wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word. He simply sheathed his long sword and stared at him in a daze.

“My original plan was to use the Mu family’s current power to find Xixi, then have my eldest sister fake her death in the palace, take her away, and finally burn down the Mu family, leaving the capital with the whole family. But I didn’t expect that you would be reborn and bring Xixi back to the Mu family. With your current loyalty to the Yue Kingdom, if I don’t stay here, you will suffer the same fate as in your previous life.” Mu Yunchao looked at her with cold eyes.

"I knew Yu Xi in Yunnan before you did. I dragged her into this mess in Beijing. It was my mistake, and I know it. Do you think I'll make the same mistake again?"

Mu Yunnan looked at him, pursed her lips slightly, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"Coincidentally, I was also planning to ask about the specifics. What could have made my bodyguards so blatantly defy my orders?"

Mu Yunchao walked directly towards his courtyard.

Mu Yunnan hesitated only slightly before quickly catching up.

Inside Mu Yunchao's courtyard, Fifteen knelt upright on the ground.

Seeing the second young master and the second young lady enter together, he knew he could not escape this calamity.

"Knows how to dance?" Mu Yunnan had seen her in his previous life; she was the Tsar's most favored beauty.

It turns out he's one of my second brother's men?

"Fifteen, what were my instructions to you?" Mu Yunchao looked down at her, his eyes icy cold, as if he already considered her a dead person.

"We will protect our young master at all costs and ensure that he is not harmed in the slightest."

"So what is the reason for today?"

Instead of protecting Yu Xi immediately, they let her wander around in the forest, and even let the people from that place take Yu Xi away after they encountered her.

Even so, her first action was to notify Yunnan and ask them to come back and claim the credit.

"Your subordinate..." Fifteen lowered his eyes slightly, "Your subordinate knows his mistake."

“This is not something you would do. If you explain why, you may be spared the death penalty,” Mu Yunchao said coldly.

Fifteen silently clutched her dress.

Seeing her like this, Mu Yunchao already knew the answer in his heart, "Is it your master?"

Fifteen was taken aback.

She came from the Mu family's special secret guard camp, and was ranked fifteenth in the "Chao" character.

She never expected that the other person protecting the young master was her master, who had raised her from childhood in the secret guard camp.

Mu Yunchao raised his hand, "Go and receive your punishment."

Mu Yunnan watched her retreating figure and asked with some confusion, "Who is her master?"

"That's a question for our good father; he's planning to do something."

Mu Yunnan was still somewhat dazed when she heard the word "father." She had not seen her father in private since her rebirth. Every time she heard news of him, she would immediately avoid him. In the court, she stood among the military officers and never looked at him.

It was because in his past life, when his mother cried and begged him to divorce her, he refused.

There is no such thing as true love.

Mingming took her mother's maid as a concubine when her mother gave birth to her eldest sister. She gave birth to her eldest son before her mother. Later, she kept a mistress outside the mansion and eventually brought her back to the mansion and made her a concubine. When she got old, she wanted to find a young one and conspired with the fake young lady in the mansion to frame the Mu family for treason.

After being rescued by Yu Xi, he dismissed the women in the courtyard and said that he would only love his mother in this life.

Where can you find such hypocritical love?

Disgusting.

"He arranged for someone to stay by Xixi's side?"

Mu Yunchao smiled, his eyes darkening. "I'm afraid it's more than that."

When Mu Yunnan came to his father's courtyard again, he felt as if he had been in another world. He saw Yun Chao walk in casually and kick open the door to his father's study.

Mu Yunnan: (☉_☉)……

How did Yun Chao become so rude?

Mu Sikuang's hand trembled slightly as he held the pen. He looked at his son, silently put down the pen, picked up the paper, and carefully examined his drawing.

He chuckled lightly and said, "It was my order. What, you're so angry over such a small matter? How can you shoulder great responsibilities?"

Mu Yun stepped forward, placed his left hand on the table, and looked at him, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?" Mu Sikuang looked at Yunnan, who was standing at the door and had not yet entered, and said with a smile, "Our Mu family has worked diligently for the Yue Kingdom for generations, sacrificing our lives. Isn't it obvious what I want to do? Yun Chao, no one knows a son better than his father. Do you really not want to?"
