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

Chapter 177 Xixi Will Try Her Best

The grandmother and grandson lingered for a long while before the old lady noticed Mu Yunchen, who had been standing to the side. She suddenly realized that in her previous life, she had doted on this grandson the most.

But with a well-behaved granddaughter, looking at this mischievous grandson isn't so pleasant anymore.

But the old lady still praised him gently, "Well done."

"But we can't let my sister get hurt before we take action next time. No matter what happens, the Mu family can handle it now."

Mu Yunchen pursed her lips, not daring to look up at her mother.

He sneaked onto the carriage.

In the past, Mother would definitely be angry.

Looking at his somewhat timid and worried expression, the Duchess shook her head helplessly. "Yunchen is an older brother now. He's all grown up. He can do whatever he wants."

Mu Yunchen immediately raised his head and looked at his mother's gentle appearance. His heart trembled and he hugged his mother tightly.

The Duchess ruffled his already messy hair and looked at his strange, foreign attire. "Alright, how old are you? You're still acting like a child. People will laugh at you."

Xiao Yuxi stared wide-eyed at the mountain of books piled up before her, towering like a city wall. These books felt like a heavy mountain, pressing down on her, making it almost impossible to breathe. She looked up, her gaze meeting Yun Chao's, a hint of innocence in her eyes.

During this time, Xiao Yuxi has been pampered by her grandmother, getting whatever she wanted. She lives a carefree and unrestrained life, enjoying endless care and love. Her grandmother dotes on her, and whenever there is something delicious or fun, it is always the first thing delivered to her little courtyard.

Originally, Xiao Yuxi was overjoyed and looking forward to seeing her second brother, thinking that he would surely spoil her like her grandmother had after not seeing her for so long. However, her second brother brought so many thick books!

Xiao Yuxi couldn't help but feel scared and quietly took a small step back, trying to get away from the daunting pile of books.

Mu Yunchao reacted quickly, scooping her up in his arms and gently placing her on his lap. He tenderly kneaded Xiao Yuxi's slightly tanned cheeks and explained with a smile, "These books aren't for Xixi, they're specially for your third brother."

Xiao Yuxi's eyes lit up instantly, like two twinkling stars. Excitedly, she hugged her second brother's neck tightly and planted a kiss on his cheek without hesitation, covering his face with saliva.

Meanwhile, Mu Yunchen was bound hand and foot by the guards and thrown into the house like a sandbag.

Mu Yunchen looked at the book beside her with a disheartened expression, and spoke in a pleading tone, "Second brother, I also suffered a lot outside before coming back. I had nothing to eat and no clothes to wear..."

Mu Yunchao interrupted his sob story, quietly looking at his face, which hadn't lost weight and had actually gotten fatter. "Did someone ask you to suffer?"

"Those who choose to follow the path they want to follow must take responsibility for their actions."

Looking at her stubborn second brother, Mu Yunchen naturally understood that he didn't intend to treat her with the same leniency as their mother.

He sighed silently and sat down at the small table.

Looking at the textbooks that were almost as tall as him, he asked his second brother in a trembling voice, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

Mu Yunchao looked at the textbooks on the table and nodded. "If that's the case, then it is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

Mu Yunchen raised his head happily, looking at his second brother with eyes full of anticipation.

Mu Yunchao tapped the table, and after the guards entered the room, he instructed, "Move all the books from the right-hand bookcase in the study over here as well."

Mu Yunchen instantly jumped onto the guard, hugged the guard tightly around the waist, and shook his head frantically.

"No, I won't! I'll die if I read so many books! I really will die!"

"I'll die right now!"

Mu Yunchao rubbed his temples, looking exasperated. "When I was your age, I had already finished all the textbooks from the elementary to the advanced levels of the National Academy. I didn't die then. The books you have now don't even compare to a small part of what I had back then. And you're already threatening to kill yourself over such a small amount of material?"

Those who were reborn cherished their lives, but Mu Yunchen kept mentioning the word "death."

"I won't learn! I'd rather die than learn!" Mu Yunchen said fiercely, clinging to the guard with both hands and feet, half-threateningly, "Take me to Grandmother's! Otherwise, I'll throw you out!"

Mu Yunchen looked fierce, completely forgetting that he still had baby fat from being pampered for so long, making him look somewhat dim-witted.

The guard tried his best to suppress the urge to smile.

Can't laugh, can't laugh.

It's not worth losing your job.

Mu Yunchao tapped the table. "It's because Grandmother asked me to teach you more. Otherwise, you're really too slow."

Mu Yunchen's eyes widened. How could this person say such heartless things!

vicious!

So vicious!

"Besides, you're still in the junior academy, and the junior academy exams are in six days. You've already fallen behind on all your studies. Are you going to get a last place again? That would be too embarrassing for you." Mu Yunchao's eyes were full of laughter.

After all, it's quite rare to be this stupid even after being reborn.

"Why doesn't she learn? She'll definitely be after me!" Mu Yunchen said with certainty.

He knew that when Sister Xi was in the countryside, she couldn't even read. She had only attended school for a few days when Xie Yaochuan took her away, so she probably knew almost nothing.

She's definitely going to be last!

Mu Yunchen looked at his second brother with bright, expectant eyes.

Mu Yunchao raised an eyebrow, "Xixi will definitely not be the last."

Xiao Yuxi nodded earnestly upon hearing this, "Xixi will work hard, Xixi won't get the lowest score!"

Seeing Mu Yunchao nod approvingly at Xiao Yuxi, Mu Yunchen looked incredulous. "She can't even write a complete character yet. You'd rather believe that she can miraculously surpass me in six days than believe that I, who have lived this long, can do better than her?"

Mu Yunchao looked at him with some doubt in his eyes, and asked him hesitantly, "Is it that difficult to surpass you?"

Mu Yunchen sat down indignantly, opened a book, and looked at the ancient texts on it that he couldn't understand at all.

Seriously, it's so hard...

Mu Yunchen looked at the book in his hand with tears in his eyes, unable to understand a single word. He then looked at Xiao Yuxi, who was nestled in her second brother's arms, as he explained the meaning of each word to her.

Every now and then she would be fed a small pastry, just the right size to swallow in one bite without choking.

The gap between people is like a chasm!

Mu Yunchen was inwardly crying, her face showing a bitter expression, but she still forced herself to persevere and read the book intently.
