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

Lantern Festival.

Xiao Yuxi had been dressed and groomed neatly long ago and was already sitting in the carriage waiting.

Yun Chen, clutching his buttocks, limped slowly over.

Just as he expected, after his second brother found out about yesterday's events, he actually had a batch of new fireworks made overnight, with packaging identical to his signal flares, for Xixi to play with.

But he was immediately hung up and beaten by his second brother.

He still vividly remembers his second brother's sinister appearance yesterday.

"How old is Xixi? How old are you?"

This statement is absolutely terrifying.

Now that he's limping to the palace banquet, he's probably completely lost his prestige. His days of being the boss, which he hasn't even enjoyed for a few days since his rebirth, are about to end...

When Xiao Yuxi saw Mu Yunchen limping closer, she tilted her head, and the butterfly beaded flower in her hair trembled slightly. She quickly jumped off the car to help Brother Potato.

"Brother Potato, did you fall?"

Mu Yunchen looked at her, rested his head on her shoulder, and sighed silently in his heart.

Although I get beaten up often, I've gotten used to it.

But in his past life, he was always the one who caused trouble, and Sister Xi would clean up after him.

The role has changed.

I'm absolutely incapable of taking the blame!

"Yes, I slipped and fell badly on my way back to the yard last night. I'll definitely watch my step next time and never slip again." Mu Yunchen couldn't help but sigh again.

Yunnan and Yunchao were not with the Duchess. The old lady was frightened yesterday and could not attend the palace banquet today, so she simply arranged a low-key sedan chair.

When the Duchess saw her youngest son injured, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. His pretentious, half-dead appearance was truly hilarious.

In his past life, he was a mischievous monkey who could recover in just two or three days no matter how many times he was beaten.

This current appearance is basically an act.

It must have been Yun Chao or Yunnan who made the attack. He's putting on this act, probably trying to feign grievance and get some benefits from them.

The Duchess patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, stop pretending. Yunchao and Yunnan will not be sitting at the same table as us."

Mu Yunchen sat up straight instantly.

You should have told me earlier!

When Xiao Yuxi saw her aunt, she said, "It would be good if Brother Potato was here." She couldn't help but look at her aunt with admiration.

They chatted and laughed as they left.

Over there, in a corner of the Mu residence, a woman dressed in rough maid's clothes watched as the carriage curtain was lifted by the wind, and Yu Xi, who was sitting in the Duchess's lap and acting coquettishly, narrowed her eyes.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare block the road of the Duke of Mu's carriage, and it arrived at the palace gate without any obstruction, only to get stuck.

"I thought it was some impoverished noble family's carriage. Is the Mu family so poor that they can't afford a better one?" Lan Yue lifted the curtain and looked at the Mu family's carriage with a smile.

Xiao Yuxi lifted a corner of the window with a puzzled look, revealing a small face no bigger than the palm of her hand, looking at her curiously.

Princess Lanyue was annoyed when she saw that it was the little maid from that day and remembered the Empress Dowager's words about wanting to bestow upon her the title of county princess.

Yan Shanshan, who had been sitting properly behind her, poked her head out and looked at Xiao Yuxi happily, "Little Yuxi, do you like the fireworks I gave you?"

Princess Lanyue paused for a moment. This morning, the steward had said that a shop had huge losses and the treasury was short of silver. She was planning to go back later to calculate it.

When were fireworks sent to the Mu family?

The Duchess chuckled and had her maid lift the carriage curtain. She sat gracefully on a soft chair and said softly, "Yesterday, the Marquis Yan's residence sent nearly a thousand kinds of fireworks, which was far too extravagant. I had them returned this morning."

“Although the Duke of Mu’s mansion and the Marquis of Yan’s mansion have always been on good terms, there is really no need for you to be so polite with me, sister. Considering how magnanimous you are, Fugui, step back and let Princess Lanyue go first.”

"Yes."

Princess Lanyue abruptly flung down the carriage curtain and pulled Yan Shanshan back, demanding, "You sent fireworks to the Mu family?"

Yan Shanshan nodded obediently, "Father owns a fireworks shop, so I had the housekeeper send them all over. Little Sister Xixi likes fireworks."

"Who cares whether she likes it or not..."

"But, Mother, you left Shanshan behind and went back that day. They were the ones who took Shanshan home." Yan Shanshan felt a little wronged when she thought of that day.

When she was taken back, she thought her mother didn't know and wanted to return to the temple. But she found that her mother had already washed up at home and even had time to cause trouble for a concubine. She didn't even ask her what had happened.

Princess Lanyue was momentarily speechless. She had been attacked that day and injured her arm, and had been rushed back to her residence to recuperate.

Moreover, she knew that the Mu family had already taken charge of the matter, so she naturally knew that her daughter was definitely safe.

Although she disliked the Mu family, she was still aware of their competence...

Princess Lanyue, seeing her youngest daughter's aggrieved expression, took a step back. "Alright, fine, I'll give it to you then. Just don't do it again next time."

Since it's not a shop under her name anyway, so what if it loses money...

Only Princess Lanyue and the Duke of Mu's family were allowed to pass through the palace gates by carriage; other noble families had to dismount and transfer to a palace sedan chair.

For a time, there were many people at the palace gate.

Upon seeing Princess Lanyue's carriage depart first, they all whispered among themselves.

The question remains: how did Princess Lanyue, who had long since fallen out of favor, manage to be so arrogant and domineering from birth?

The Mu family is currently at the height of its power, especially General Mu Yunnan, who has made another great contribution in the past two days, making him extremely popular in the capital.

Almost every family with a son of marriageable age was thinking about how to marry into the Mu family.

Inheriting the family business is unlikely, but General Mu's mansion is already under renovation. If he could marry into the family and help them out, it would be a wonderful thing.

A month ago, almost everyone in the capital was secretly criticizing Mu Yunnan, but a month later, he has become a hot commodity in the eyes of most noble ladies.

Xiao Yuxi overheard the conversation of these ladies from aristocratic families while peering out the window. Somewhat puzzled, she asked her aunt, "Is Second Sister getting married?"

The Duchess glanced at the two ladies who were gossiping, and straightened the butterfly beaded flower in Xiao Yuxi's hair. "These aunts don't know that your second sister has her own plans. If she really wants to, as long as her family background is clean, it's not impossible."

Having lived a whole life in the past, I still don't know what kind of men Yunnan actually likes.

Or perhaps it could be said that there are simply no men in the Yue Kingdom who could catch the eye of Yunnan.

Thinking about it this way, it might be possible to arrange for the second sons of those prominent families to visit Yunnan.

Finding someone to marry into the family isn't out of the question.

I just don't know if Yunnan will be angry.

"My second sister is so amazing, her husband must be a great general too!" Xi Xi's eyes sparkled, already filled with fantasies about this.
