Mu Yao put her hands on her hips and said, "If you don't apologize, my brother and I won't go out to play with you anymore."
Jing Shuo nodded, "I'll tell Father that you secretly brought us out to play."
Xie Changyu's eyes widened. He was so young, yet he had already learned to threaten people!
Marquis Yongyi rarely returned, and Xie Qinglan had gained the Emperor's favor in recent years, taking on the post of Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Xie Changyu was indeed afraid of Xie Qinglan, and after thinking it over, he decided to humble himself for the sake of today's grand plan.
He turned to the vendor and quickly said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to withhold the money. Okay, okay, take the money and go."
Jing Shuo and Mu Yao were finally satisfied.
The group of one adult and two children went for another stroll.
Xiao Muyao said she was hungry, so Xie Changyu took them to a restaurant for a meal.
The three of them sat in the lobby on the second floor. The two children ate with relish, without needing to be fed.
Halfway through the meal, the people at the next two tables suddenly started arguing, which quickly escalated into a fight. Both sides were good-for-nothing playboys from the capital, and one side had more people, almost beating the other three.
Xie Changyu seized the opportunity to instigate, "Jing Shuo, did you see that? From now on, if anyone says something that displeases you, just call the servants in the manor to beat them up. I guarantee they'll be completely submissive, and no one will dare to provoke you again."
Jing Shuo's eyebrows, which resembled Xie Qinglan's, furrowed. "But, from what I heard them saying, the one who was beaten was the one in the right."
Xie Changyu: "Whoever has the stronger fist is right."
Mu Yao: "Is Second Uncle's fist hard?"
Xie Changyu nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course. Back when your second uncle's legs were still good, who in the entire capital could beat me?"
Mu Yao said, "Then Second Uncle, go and help those three brothers who were beaten."
Xie Changyu glanced at the group of seven people and said, "...Second Uncle isn't going."
Behind him, Jing Shuo pushed him, knocking over his chair. Caught off guard, Xie Changyu fell down next to the group of spoiled brats who were beating people.
"Second Uncle, beat them all to a pulp!" Jing Shuo shouted in encouragement, grinning mischievously.
"Second Uncle has a strong fist! He can beat them up!" Mu Yao echoed her brother's words without thinking.
The group immediately turned to Xie Changyu. "Here comes a helper to take care of the kid? Brothers, let's beat him up!"
"Eh! No... Ah!"
Xie Changyu was beaten up, his face bruised and swollen, and he stared resentfully at the brother and sister watching the show.
"Didn't Second Uncle say he was the best?" Mu Yao asked her brother in a low voice.
Jing Shuo whispered back to her, "Second Uncle is bragging."
Xie Changyu, "..." He's not deaf yet!
"Second Uncle, where should we go next?"
Xie Changyu gritted his teeth, "Back to the manor!"
Xie Changyu's mission failed, and he sent the two children back to Tinglan Garden.
As soon as Jing Shuo and Mu Yao returned, they rushed into Ye Chaoxi's arms, but Xie Qinglan stopped them.
"Stand still, Mommy has a little brother or sister in her belly, don't rush over."
Ye Chaoxi took twin pills again, and by this time she was four months pregnant.
The two children obediently stopped, standing a step away.
Ye Chaoxi smiled and wiped their sweat, asking them, "Where have you been running off to again? Even the maids and servants couldn't find you."
Mu Yao said, "Second Uncle took us out to play!"
Ye Chaoxi raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Jing Shuo said in a serious tone, "My second uncle wanted to corrupt my sister, but I stopped him!"
"We discovered that my second uncle was a bad kid. He wouldn't pay for things and liked to fight. My brother and I decided to turn him into a good kid!"
Ye Chaoxi was both amused and exasperated, but did not stop them from their firm idea.
The triennial spring imperial examinations concluded once again in late winter and early spring.
Ye Muling stood under the list again, searching for Meng Wenjin's name, but after scanning it several times, she still couldn't find it.
His face was contorted with rage.
Without the support of her maternal family, Ye Muling's life in the Meng family was completely different from before. They couldn't afford servants anymore, so she had to do the daily laundry and cooking herself, eating simple meals and using her remaining money very sparingly.
Now, his face has lost its former vibrancy, and is filled with gloom and weariness.
Meng Wenjin continued to indulge in brothels whenever he had money, neglecting his studies. It would be strange if he were to pass the exam.
After the results of the provincial examination were announced, the palace examination followed immediately, and the top three in the palace examination were selected by the emperor.
Ye Xu was chosen as the top scholar by imperial decree. He was only eighteen years old this year, but he outshone all the candidates who were older than him with his outstanding literary talent and ingenious policy arguments, and won the emperor's favor.
This result shocked many people. After a little inquiry, they discovered that the young man was actually the younger brother of the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi!
Five months later, Ye Chaoxi gave birth to two boys, named Xie Shijin and Xie Shiyan respectively.
Ye Chaoxi lived in this world for fifty years. When Xie Qinglan passed away, she closed her eyes beside him.
...
"Congratulations, host, on completing the second world mission. You are awarded basic points. You have also been awarded points for having four children. Your current points are as follows."
As the system's announcement rang in her ears, Ye Chaoxi slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze lazily sweeping over the lop-eared rabbit on the virtual screen.
"Rabbit, it's been so long, I've missed you."
The system shyly covered its face with its two big ears, "Host, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"
Ye Chaoxi chuckled, "You're so cute~"
The system blushed; the host's voice was just too beautiful!
It asked shyly, "Host, could you take me with you on missions? It's so boring being all alone in this dark room!"
Ye Chaoxi raised her delicate, beautiful eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say before that I would be the only one in the future mission worlds?"
