Chapter 134 Return to the Village
Although that's what she said, Yingrui was still quite shocked when she saw Mu Yunchen walking towards her with a flower wreath on his head.
It's over. The hairstyle she painstakingly created for her cousin is now completely ruined.
She should have known that every time the Third Young Master was quiet, he would inevitably cause her some trouble.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuxi's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran to Mu Yunchen's side. Then, she stood on tiptoe, blinked her bright eyes, looked up at the flower wreath on his head, and pleaded in a childish voice, "Xixi wants one too."
Mu Yunchen slightly raised his chin, a hint of smugness on his face, and deliberately acted coy, "You have to call me brother first."
This wreath was made by Sister Xi herself in his previous life, who taught him how to weave it. Back then, he was so foolish that he was tricked into calling her "sister" many times!
Now the tables have turned, and it's his turn to enjoy this happiness.
Xiao Yuxi raised her head and looked straight at him, her small mouth slightly parted, and her soft, sweet voice rang out, "Brother."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunchen's eyes widened suddenly.
Wow, that's awesome!
At this point, he finally understood why Sister Xi always insisted on having him call her "sister"—it was such a pleasant feeling!
Xi Xi usually calls him "Potato Brother". Although they are both brothers, the feeling it brings is completely different to him.
Mu Yunchen took out an even more exquisite and beautifully woven flower wreath from behind him and gently placed it on Xiao Yuxi's head.
He had spent a good twenty or thirty willow twigs squatting there just to make these two exquisite wreaths. He had destroyed all the other failed wreaths; he couldn't let anyone else know about such a shameful thing.
"Brother Potato is so amazing!" Little Yu Xi exclaimed, her big, round eyes filled with admiration.
Mu Yunchen tried hard to suppress his laughter, but couldn't help it. He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. "This thing is a piece of cake for me. I can fix it in a few simple moves. It's very easy."
He reached out and carefully straightened the slightly crooked flower wreath on Xiao Yuxi's head.
Xie Yaochuan's initial idea was to bring Xiao Yuxi back to the village with a grand entrance that the villagers had almost never seen before, so that everyone would want to build a relationship with them, but would also be too afraid to try it.
Ideally, one or two people would be able to strike up a conversation with them and receive some worthless trinkets from them as a casual gift.
In this way, the other villagers will definitely think that if someone can do it, then they can do it too.
Next, everyone will rack their brains to get involved with them and try to get a share of the profits from them, so naturally they won't have time to worry about whether or not to hide anything.
That's why Xie Yaochuan specially ordered this outfit and headdress for Xiao Yuxi from the capital.
However, Xiao Yuxi looked exceptionally cute with the flower crown on, and even had a touch of playful childishness, which was surprisingly suitable.
If she likes it, then let her wear it.
Seeing that Xie Yaochuan had tacitly agreed that he could wear the flower wreath, Yingrui reached out and restyled her young master's hair into a bun that fit the wreath perfectly.

The Mu family's ornately decorated and incredibly luxurious carriage was slowly making its way along the narrow, winding country road.
Lady Yun, who was working in the field, was stunned when she saw the grand procession. She stared wide-eyed at the guard leading the procession.
Filled with fear and unease, Yun Niangzi's body was completely out of her control. Without thinking, she grabbed a handful of straw and covered herself tightly, only daring to stick her head out slightly to peek at them with trepidation.
She was so nervous that her fingernails dug deep into her clothes as if she wanted to tear them apart.
And so, the Mu family's carriage continued its journey until it finally arrived at the village chief's house and came to a slow stop.
The people in this small village already knew that the young master of the Mu family was coming with Er Ya, the adopted daughter of the Hu family. So, everyone rushed to finish all their work before dawn, just to join in the fun in the afternoon.
After all, when General Mu personally came to take Er Ya back to the Mu residence last time, he ruthlessly chopped up the Hu family's stove and house. After she left, the Hu couple suffered greatly while being imprisoned, and it took them a great deal of effort to finally get out.
The worst part is that the man from the Hu family lost a leg due to a lack of timely medical treatment, and he still walks with a limp. Since then, he has been depressed and withdrawn, refusing to see anyone.
During this period, their chickens and ducks were fed by Siya, a toddler who had just learned to walk, and she even begged Yun Niangzi to cook the rice for her.
Their eldest daughter is incredibly lazy. Ever since General Mu Yunnan took the second daughter away, she has locked herself in her room and hasn't left since.
She even fantasized that she was the real daughter of the Mu family, without even looking at her face, which looked exactly like Hu's.
Aside from farming, nothing much happens in a farming family on a daily basis. The fact that the Hu family's adopted daughter is actually the Mu family's true cousin is enough for them to gossip about for a long time.
Now that Er Ya is back, she's bringing the Mu family's entourage with her. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
"Did you hear what I said?" The man threw the cigarette out of his mouth and wanted to kick her, but then he remembered that the Mu family girl was here today, and his foot stopped in mid-air.
He spat and saw her kneeling on the ground without saying a word. "How could I have married such a lowly thing like you? A daughter of an official family? I bet you were just a maid in an official's household for a few days."
Lady Yun lowered her eyes, not daring to utter a word of protest. After hesitating for a long time, she cautiously asked, "Can I not go?"
"You're not going?" The man instantly flew into a rage, grabbing her hair. "Let me tell you, that damn girl in the whole village is only on good terms with you. If you can't get the money, I'll cripple your legs and sell you to Wang Mazi in the next village!"
Yun Niangzi's hair was being grabbed and torn painfully. Hearing the child crying inside, she could only say through her tears, "I'll go. Sheng'er is crying, can I go and hold Sheng'er?"
"Crying, crying, crying, it's like a funeral every day, you son of a bitch..." the man cursed as he let go.
When Yun Niangzi realized that he had let go, she quickly got up, ran into the house, hugged her child, wiped her face with her hands, and stared blankly at the child's thin body.
"Sheng'er, Mother won't let you suffer."
