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

Chapter 201 2 Brother, is it very, very painful?

Mu Yunchao's mind cleared up a bit as he thought about the letter. He looked at his sister in front of him and chuckled a few times.

"Sometimes I wonder how you can be so heartless? Why did you have to leave me that letter? In the letter, you even had to pretend to be happy, like nothing was wrong. But Xixi, you could have said it hurt, you could have said you were in pain, you could have cried."

Xiao Yuxi blinked, took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears off his face. Her second brother had told her many times, and now she could complain, act spoiled, and cry.

"Don't worry, Second Brother. I've learned everything you taught me."

Mu Yunchao looked at Xiao Yuxi in front of him and gently stroked her tender face with his fingers. "Xixi, I'm sorry. I didn't finish any of your letters."

"Xiao Xian disappeared when you passed away. I haven't seen him since."

Xiao Yuxi: ?

Isn't Brother Xiao Xian living in the side courtyard?

Xiao Yuxi subconsciously looked in the direction of her small courtyard.

"So I was able to receive the clothes and jewelry you made for my grandmother and mother, while they didn't receive your gifts."

"Yun Chen didn't come out either, only his cenotaph remains. However, since he is buried with you, he should be under your protection. That's good, he's been somewhat insane ever since he injured his leg, it's better that he's dead. Peace and quiet."

"My eldest sister hasn't divorced either, and I don't know how she's doing. As long as the Mu family still exists, she won't have such a difficult life in the harem."

"Yunnan is still the same. All she thinks about is war, and no amount of persuasion can stop her. Whatever, let her do whatever she wants."

“I’m doing just fine. I know I haven’t done anything right, and you must be angry again. Don’t be so angry; it’s bad for your health. If Yunnan hadn’t told me that you had a chest injury that hurt your heart, and that you would be in pain almost every time you turned over, I probably would never have known that you were living such a tiring life.”

"It's my fault. It's so obvious, and I didn't even realize it."

Xiao Yuxi blinked, staring blankly at her second brother. Mu Yunchao's eyes were filled with lifelessness, as if he had lost all vitality.

She reached out her small hand and gently touched his face, but felt a chill creeping up her fingertips. This coldness startled Xiao Yuxi; she realized that her second brother was in very bad shape.

However, despite sensing her second brother's unusual behavior, Xiao Yuxi did not back down. She simply held his face tightly, trying to warm his cold cheeks with her own body heat. She whispered, "Second brother, don't cry. Xixi is here."

Mu Yunchao seemed to hear Xiao Yuxi's voice. His eyes slowly moved and finally settled on her.

Xiao Yuxi's clear and bright eyes, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, shone with warmth and hope. Mu Yunchao's dormant heart was gradually awakened.

Mu Yunchao quietly looked at Xiao Yuxi in front of him, his mind working very slowly, almost as if he had stopped thinking.

After staring blankly for a long time, he finally realized that the person in front of him was Yu Xi.

"You're back."

"I'm sorry, how come I couldn't let you grow up carefree in this life either?"

"You're disappointed in your brother again, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry, Xixi, I'm so clumsy, I didn't know what to do. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"I was thinking, if you hadn't come to the Mu family and had stayed in that small town, would you have been happy?"

"In this murky water of the capital, anyone second only to one person is at the mercy of others. You're right, that Empress Dowager does have quite a few ideas."

"I was so stupid to actually try to negotiate with them. How could I be so stupid?"

Xiao Yuxi looked at her brother, her heart pounding with a mix of joy and unease.

My second brother always had a commanding presence; how could he possibly feel this sense of disappointment and dejection?

But she seemed to understand.

"Xixi died in that world, right? And Brother Potato died too, right?"

"What about my second brother? Is he dead too?"

Xiao Yuxi asked him anxiously, her eyes filled with fear.

Mu Yunchao chuckled softly, "Dead, watched myself die with my own eyes. Died consciously."

Mu Yunchao spoke lightly, but he truly watched himself die while fully conscious.

He had experienced almost every form of torture in that sand kingdom before, when his mind was finally clouded by the torment, he was given a drug and forced to watch helplessly as they delivered his final blow.

"Second brother, does it hurt a lot?" Xiao Yuxi asked, her voice trembling with tears. She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, sniffled, and felt extremely distressed.

"It doesn't hurt. Don't cry, Xixi." Although she was not fully conscious, she still instinctively comforted Xiaoyuxi and gently patted her back.

"Did Xixi do something wrong in that world, causing Second Brother to get hurt? And Brother Potato died too. Was it all Xixi's fault?" Little Yuxi sobbed as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.

“Xi Xi did a great job. You saved the people of Yue Kingdom, adopted orphans, fought on the battlefield, and ensured that everyone will never forget you. You are the bright moon in the sky. If it weren’t for you, Yue Kingdom would have been defeated long ago, and the Mu family would have been gone long ago.” Mu Yunchao gently patted her back, responding to her subconsciously.

"But I didn't do well. I didn't protect you properly. In our previous life, you lived such a carefree life after meeting Xiao Xian. But when you came to the Mu family, I didn't do anything even at the most basic level." Mu Yunchao said vaguely, looking at the wine on the ground next to him.

He stood up unsteadily and stumbled back towards the wine bottle.

Pick it up and pour it onto the ground little by little.

"Your peach blossom wine isn't very good. When I drank it, it had no flavor at all. You must have omitted a lot of ingredients."

"I knew it. Something made in such a rush is bound to have mistakes."

"I specially sought out the best master craftsman in the capital and bought wine that's been aged for over ten years. This peach blossom wine is extremely fragrant and sweet. Try it, isn't it much better than yours?"

"Since you've drunk it, can you please not leave?"

"This is the first time in all these years that you've appeared in my dreams. You can't be so selfish."

"You have to pay for the drinks, right?"

"How many shops do you intend to use to pay off your debt this time?"

"I'm not like the emperor; I don't close shops. Would you like to chat with me a little longer?"

"You're ignoring me again."

"I knew it, you're still angry with your brother."

"Don't leave, okay?"

Xiao Yuxi looked at her second brother, who was rambling on in mid-air. After a long while, she slowly choked out a reply, "Okay."
