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

Chapter 148 Past Life 2 (Xie Yaochuan's PerspectiveMu Yunshang)

"I...I..." Mu Yunnan stammered for a long time, but still couldn't get anything out of it.

She couldn't understand why she had received this imperial decree of marriage out of the blue.

"Could it be..." Mu Yunnan cautiously probed, "that he still holds a grudge about the kick I gave him three years ago?"

“How can someone be so petty! How could someone like him become emperor…” Mu Yunnan became more and more agitated as he spoke, but when he saw his mother’s face growing increasingly gloomy, he stopped abruptly as if silenced, obediently shutting his mouth and becoming quiet.

She was most afraid of seeing her mother suddenly become cold and aloof.

Mu Yunshang rubbed her temples, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This matter needs to be considered carefully."

Mu Yunnan jumped to his feet, patted his knees, raised his chin confidently, and said, "I'm going to find Song Qiyuan and get to the bottom of this!"

Mu Yunshang stared wide-eyed in surprise at Mu Yunnan's departing figure, then silently turned to look at her mother, who was struggling to control her anger.

Especially when he saw his mother's hand tightly gripping the leather whip wrapped around her waist, which served as a belt.

Mu Yunshang immediately straightened her expression, bowed respectfully to her mother, and said, "Mother, please don't be angry. I will go and bring Yunnan back right away."

After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.

I had barely stepped out of my mother's courtyard when, before I could even react, I was plunged into a warm and loving embrace.

Xie Yaochuan's deep, gentle voice came from above, "Sister, are you in such a hurry to see me?"

Mu Yunshang was momentarily dazed. She looked up blankly, her gaze meeting his deep, pool-like eyes. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she frantically pushed him away, glancing around in a panic. She glared at him fiercely and said in a low voice, "This is the Mu residence. Don't do anything reckless. What if someone sees us..."

Xie Yaochuan's lips curled up slightly, and she chuckled softly. She took a step forward, closing the distance between them, and teased, "Does Sister mean that as long as we're not at the Mu residence, Zixun does all sorts of reckless things?"

Mu Yunshang's eyes widened suddenly, as if she had never expected that her usually obedient younger brother would suddenly become so shameless.

"I never want to talk to you again!" Mu Yunshang angrily broke free from his tight grip on her hand, lifted her skirt, turned around, and walked away quickly.

Xie Yaochuan, however, did not give up. He followed closely behind with a grin, saying, "Sister, please don't be angry."

Xie Yaochuan clung tightly to Mu Yunshang's back like a leech.

When the servants of the Mu family saw the young master of the Xie family following the young lady so closely from afar, they all tacitly changed their direction of travel, deliberately avoiding encountering them.

The eldest daughter has been of marriageable age for over a year. Although matchmakers have been coming and going in the mansion to arrange marriages for her, the madam has not yet made a decision.

They probably guessed that it must have been arranged with the Xie family.

However, the young master of the Xie family is one year younger than the eldest young lady, and men in the Yue Kingdom can only marry after the age of seventeen.

In particular, those who held official positions were not allowed to get engaged before the age of seventeen.

All I can say is that the young lady will have to wait another year or two.

"Don't follow me." Mu Yunshang glared at him as she walked away.

"Since you ignore Zixun and forbid him from following you, has your sister grown tired of you after you've succeeded?" Xie Yaochuan blinked her beautiful eyes, revealing endless sorrow, like a pitiful little dog that had been abandoned.

Mu Yunshang turned around angrily, covering his lips with her hands, her cheeks flushed as red as ripe apples, "You...you..."

Just then, Mu Yunshang was startled to realize that he had gently kissed her palm. She quickly withdrew her hands and said with a face full of shame and indignation, "How could you be so frivolous and rude today?"

Xie Yaochuan lowered his eyelashes, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at her quietly, his voice trembling slightly, "I heard that the newly appointed top scholar has come to propose marriage, and it's someone from the Wen family."

Mu Yunshang was slightly taken aback. His aggrieved appearance just now seemed to be deliberately put on, but now his voice was really trembling.

She had never seen Xie Yaochuan look so uneasy.

"Aren't you the third-ranked scholar? Why are you concerned about that top scholar surnamed Wen?"

"My sister actually knows his surname." Xie Yaochuan's voice was full of grievance.

Mu Yunshang was stunned by his words and blinked.

Isn't this what you said belonged to the Wen family?

"My sister had never paid attention to the names of those top scholars before."

Mu Yunshang stood on tiptoe, raised her hand, and smacked him hard.

"So young, yet thinking so much every day. I don't know him, and I never will. Are you satisfied now?"

"Since you don't think much of the top scholar, could you perhaps consider the third-ranked scholar?" Xie Yaochuan's wet eyes stared directly into Mu Yunshang's eyes.

Mu Yunshang lowered her eyes and muttered softly, "Let's talk about it when you're old enough to get married."

Without waiting to see if he had heard her clearly, she left with the words, "I still have to go to Yunnan; with her personality, she might cause trouble."

"If you keep following me, I really won't talk to you anymore."

Just as Xie Yaochuan was about to follow, he suddenly came to his senses.

Did he enter his own memories, or someone else's?

Or was he just having a wildly imaginative dream?

He had never seen the eldest daughter of the Mu family in his memory.

The fog in front of me gradually dissipated.

Xie Yaochuan, who was only about four years old, was cornered against a wall.

The Xie family has offended the Emperor, and this is precisely the time when various powerful families are suppressing them.

Xie Yaochuan attended the National Academy's primary school. Without family support, it would be very difficult for him to stay in the primary school.

Xie Yaochuan was exquisitely handsome, resembling a beautiful and delicate doll, which made those who were already prone to violence even more eager to abuse and bully him.

Suddenly, a long whip shot out from the side like lightning, whistling through the air, and lashed out fiercely at the bodies of these people!

Each lash was merciless, as if to tear their flesh apart!

Those who were previously cursing and acting arrogantly suddenly became terrified.

When they turned around and saw that the person who came was actually Mu Yunshang, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly bowed and scraped, and scrambled away into the distance.

You should know that Mu Yunshang is the legitimate daughter of the An family patriarch and the son of the eldest son of the Mu family!

With such a distinguished background, who would dare to provoke her? They would either die a horrible death at her hands or face severe punishment from their families. Weighing the pros and cons, it was better to pretend nothing had happened and flee the scene as quickly as possible.

The gamble was that Miss Mu didn't remember what they looked like.

Mu Yunshang was dressed in a pink dress, her figure graceful and elegant.
