After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Don't be afraid, Guo'er, your brother is here," Xiao Shu said softly, holding his little sister's hand.

He then turned to Lin Hao and explained, "Madam, Guo'er was pecked by a rooster when she was little, so she's afraid." He was worried that his wife would dislike his younger sister because of this, and his wife was someone they couldn't afford to offend.

So you have a psychological trauma! Lin Hao nodded in agreement. She had heard a classmate talk about being pecked by a rooster when she was a child. Just hearing the other person's description made Lin Hao feel terrified!

Her gaze toward Xiaoguoer unconsciously carried a hint of sympathy, and her tone became even gentler.

"Guo'er, don't be afraid. We're just looking from a distance, we won't come any closer. If you're really scared, just wait here for us to come back, okay? I'll have this older sister stay here with you!"

As Lin Hao spoke, she pointed to the little maidservant sent by Steward Yang beside her.

Guo'er blinked, understood Lin Hao's words, turned to look at her brother, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and said timidly, "I, I'll go too."

"Alright, let's set off together!" Lin Hao gave the order, and the group set off in a grand procession.

"Your name is Guo'er?" Gu Yu looked at the little girl who was closely following Xiao Shu and sized her up curiously.

"Mmm." Guo'er looked at the boy who was a little taller than her and responded softly.

"Can I call you Sister Guo'er?"

"Okay." The little girl was usually taken care of by her brother, and everyone called her that, so she didn't feel anything was wrong when she heard this and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Shu, standing to the side, felt something was amiss, but didn't know how to stop it. While he was still pondering a solution, Gu Yu had already successfully started a conversation with Xiao Guo'er.

"Little Guo'er, may I hold your hand?"

After Gu Yu finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and reached out his hand, nervously waiting for a response. Then he felt something soft touch his hand, and he subconsciously squeezed it. It was soft and small.

His gaze was fixed on that spot, where he was holding a smaller-looking hand, white and tender with a few chubby dimples, which looked just like the pudding his mother made for him. He unconsciously swallowed.

"Brother?" A slightly puzzled voice interrupted his wandering thoughts.

Gu Yu looked at the owner of "Pudding," who looked at him with puzzled, round eyes.

"Hmm, hmm... little sister's hands are small." Gu Yu felt inexplicably guilty. Little sister Guo'er probably doesn't know that I just wanted to eat a bite of her hand!

The little girl looked at their clasped hands and affirmed, "Yes, older brother is bigger."

The implication was that Gu Yu was older than her, so his hands were bigger.

However, Gu Yu had no time to think about what the other person meant. Seeing that the other person hadn't noticed, he nodded haphazardly: "Yeah, I'm older."

Unconsciously, she began to caress her hands. She realized that her younger sister's hands were so small and soft, even softer than her mother's!

He was just curious before, but now that he's actually touched it, he seems to want a little sister of his own even more!

Go back and tell your mother! She's so capable, she'll definitely find a way. She can even find baby ducks!

Lin Hao, who was observing the situation at the estate, had no idea what arduous task awaited her upon her return. If she had known, she would have grabbed the little boy's shoulders and firmly told him: "My sister is not like a duckling!!!"
