Feng Yue knew what had happened yesterday, and she also knew that the two children of the Mu family had subconsciously kept it from An Wan (the Duchess of the State) at the same time, not letting her know what had happened yesterday.

He probably didn't want her to worry...

Feng Yue carefully examined the little girl and only felt relieved after confirming that she had no injuries.

The Duchess seemed rather curious. "Third sister? Who is she?"

The Mu family didn't have many illegitimate sons and daughters. There was Mu Shao, the eldest son of Xu Minsheng; Mu Chi, the fourth son of Liu Xiangsheng; and Mu Sili, the third daughter of Yan Yuxu, and Mu Yan, the fifth son.

But there were only two boys younger than Xixi, and no girls.

Where did her third sister come from?

Feng Yue was slightly taken aback. She had forgotten that the Second Miss never had to inform An Wan when she brought people back, so it was normal that An Wan was unaware of this.

Xiao Yuxi looked up and said, "She's Xixi's third younger sister."

The Duchess looked at Xiao Yuxi with a strange look in her eyes, and repeated Yuxi's words, "The third sister from before?"

She couldn't be bothered to deal with that family, yet they still dared to come knocking on her door?

She has already given them enough face.

Some people really don't know what's good for them.

A hint of mockery flashed across the Duchess's eyes. "What's she doing here?"

The Duchess looked at Feng Yue.

Yunnan kept it from her because he was worried that she would get angry and fall seriously ill like she did in her previous life.

However, if she could do it all over again, she wouldn't be as foolish as she was in her previous life. Now that the Mu family is safe and secure, if she doesn't take this opportunity to kill those who offended her in her previous life, she might never have another chance.

Feng Yue hesitated for a moment. She was an insider in this matter and knew everything from beginning to end. Even when the little boy was unconscious, she took the opportunity to learn about the cause and effect.

Xi Xi was abused and nearly died in that farmer's house. If Yunnan hadn't brought her back in time, who knows if she would have developed a chronic illness.

Moreover, that family was incredibly audacious, daring to deceive everyone by having their child impersonate a member of the Mu family.

If Yunnan hadn't discovered something was wrong and actually taken that farmer's child back as Xixi, then Siyi's Xixi would have truly wasted her life in that farmer's house.

Moreover, after doing such a thing, they still dared to dream of getting money from the Mu family.

They really dare to dream! Do they really think the Mu family is some kind of charitable family? Not executing them on the spot is already extremely kind of them, yet they still dare to try to get money from the Mu family.

The girl was indeed well-behaved during her time there, but she suffered because of that family.

Feng Yue thought for a moment and then explained the reason. "That girl was sent to the orphans of their soldiers in Yunnan. I heard that a child her age can learn to bandage wounds and can go to the battlefield in the future. I think that's great. It's much better than her messy home."

The Duchess lowered her eyelashes. "She means her mother disappeared at the gate of the Duke of Mu's mansion?"

"Kids might say things that are slightly different from the truth. Maybe her mother just abandoned her."

Discard them? Their little girls are all useful; they need to be exchanged for grain. How could they just throw them away like that?

I should ask Yun Chao and Yunnan when I have time if they were the ones who intervened.

If the aftermath isn't handled properly, it can cause problems.

"I'd like to take a look at that injured boy," the Duchess said with a light laugh, suppressing her inner thoughts. "Is he in the side courtyard?"

"Yes, she was just able to walk this morning." Feng Yue smiled as she stepped forward to take Xiao Yuxi, held her in her arms, and led the way.

The Duchess looked at the withered leaves in the courtyard. "Why hasn't anyone tidied up this courtyard?"

"The second young lady doesn't seem to like outsiders coming and going in the courtyard. I'll prune the branches for her tomorrow."

The Duchess was slightly taken aback, suddenly remembering that in her previous life, letters exchanged with enemy countries had been found in her study.

That must be the reason why they don't want people to come and go as they please.

"Then I'll have the maid tell you that I'll go with you."

Feng Yue smiled and said, "Your delicate hands mustn't get hurt by the branches and leaves."

"She's not that delicate."

As I entered the courtyard, I saw a little boy dressed in black carrying clothes and walking into the house. When he saw someone coming in, he instinctively hid the clothes behind his back.

Feng Yue saw the clothes he hid behind his back; they were his old clothes, which Yunnan had specifically instructed not to throw away, and they still had a lot of bloodstains on them.

Xiao Xian stared intently at Yu Xi in Feng Yue's arms.

The Duchess looked at him and felt that his face looked somewhat familiar, but he was too young to recognize who he was.

Those left behind by Yunnan.

He shouldn't be a problematic person.

Xiao Xian withdrew his gaze and moved it to the Duchess's face. He hesitated for a moment, looking at her magnificent attire, and said, "May you be well, Madam."

The Duchess looked at Xiao Xian, who, although he looked five or six years old, was acting like an adult, and wanted to laugh. She said gently, "There's no need to be so reserved."

Upon receiving the reply, Xiao Xian immediately turned his gaze to Xiao Yuxi's face, casually placing the clothes he was holding on a nearby rock. He then ran forward, looking at Xiao Yuxi with some anticipation, "Little..."

He swallowed the words he was about to say, afraid of scaring her. "Did you come here specifically to see me? I'm completely better now, don't worry."

Xiao Yuxi was eating the candy that her godmother Fengyue had given her with great care. When she heard his voice, she looked up in confusion and tilted her head.

"So cute!"

"Is everything ready? Are you leaving?" Xiao Yuxi asked, her mouth full of candy, her words muffled.

"Mmm, this candy is so delicious! How can I get my godmother to give her a little more?"

"My aunt just told Xixi to eat less sugar last time."

"But secretly putting it in your mouth doesn't count as eating candy, does it?"

"Yes, this contains sugar, but it's not called eating sugar."

"Then Xixi should have more sugar in her mouth!"

"Lots of candy!"

!!!

go?

Xiao Xian was shocked!

She swallowed hard, trying to find the right words, "It's not...it's not fully healed yet. It's still a bit difficult to walk. And after walking a few steps, I just want to rest. It hurts...it hurts terribly."

Feng Yue immediately understood the meaning behind his words and chuckled as she smoothed things over for him, saying, "He still needs to rest for a while longer."

She actually admired this child quite a bit. At such a young age, his ability to endure pain was simply amazing. So many adults couldn't even hold on, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

Moreover, as soon as his injuries began to heal a little, he started to actively practice walking.

It was as if something was urging him to work harder.

However, Feng Yue smiled as she looked at Xiao Yuxi, who was earnestly eating candy in her arms.

The child's expression was so easy to understand; it was easy to see that he was interested in Xixi. As long as she was in his sight, he would stick to her and not look away.
