If you want to survive after transmigrating, become the male protagonist's new mother.

Pei Yuening pushed open the door, the smile on her lips still lingering.

He was just about to take a break when he looked up and saw Ye Jiyun sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Pei Yuening was taken aback: "Brother?"

"Didn't you say you were busy at the Privy Council?"

Ye Jiyun did not answer immediately.

He put down his teacup and beckoned to Pei Yuening: "Come and sit down."

Pei Yuening obediently agreed.

He changed his shoes, walked over, and sat down next to him.

Ye Jiyun patted his head: "The Duchess and Juanjuan both told me about Joshua."

Pei Yuening paused: "...Oh, that."

"I'm fine," he said, trying to sound relaxed. "He's already dropped out of school anyway."

Ye Jiyun sighed, "Ningning."

"Um?"

"I was very worried about you." Ye Jiyun frowned and said seriously, "I'm sorry I didn't have time to check on you last night, and I didn't notice it right away."

"I was furious when I first heard it, so I left the Privy Council to demand an explanation."

Pei Yuening was almost stunned.

Ye Jiyun has always been gentle and restrained, keeping her emotions within reasonable limits.

He rarely saw Ye Jiyun express her anger so bluntly.

He pursed his lips, about to say something to comfort him, when Ye Jiyun spoke again.

"...and then I got halfway there," Ye Jiyun said, "when I heard that Joshua had been beaten up on his way home."

Pei Yuening's eyes widened suddenly: "Huh???"

Ye Jiyun looked at him and asked softly, "Ningning, tell your brother the truth."

"Did you ask Juanjuan to do it?"

"..."

"Speaker Joshua has made a scene before His Majesty, and troops are being dispatched to investigate," Ye Jiyun leaned slightly forward. "So His Majesty sent word for me to ask you..."

"Anyway, if that's the case, just let me know, and I'll help you clean up the mess later."

"Besides, you have an ancient dragon familiar, so even if Chairman Joshua makes a huge fuss, he can't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yuening waved her hands repeatedly, "No! I didn't..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

His mind went blank, and he suddenly remembered the bandaged hand he had seen at the school gate earlier.

Pei Yuening opened his mouth, the second half of his sentence stuck in his throat, and his expression gradually became complicated.

Ye Jiyun sensed something was wrong and asked, "...What's wrong?"

Pei Yuening snapped out of her daze and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it really isn't Juanjuan."

"I called it over this morning, but Joshua was so scared he almost cried, and I got bored, so I sent it back."

"It must have stayed home all afternoon and didn't go out, right?"

Pei Yuening gave an awkward smile: "Originally, I only planned to have Dandan make up a few dreams to scare him after we got back..."

Ye Jiyun looked at him for a while.

He clearly noticed Pei Yuening's brief pause and change in expression, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

"Alright, the person's already been dealt with anyway." Ye Jiyun pondered for a moment, "But if you're still not satisfied, then your brother will..."

"No, no, no," Pei Yuening continued to wave her hand, "That's enough, thank you, brother."

"That's it. Anyway, I hate him and I don't want anyone around me to have any contact with him anymore. I'll have Dandan deal with him tonight."

Ye Jiyun laughed out loud.

He looked away, his tone softening: "Okay."

Pei Yuening looked around: "By the way, brother, where are Juanjuan and the others?"

"Playing with snowballs in the garden."

"Okay, then I'll go check on them." Pei Yuening stood up.

Ye Jiyun nodded: "Go ahead."

Pei Yuening turned and went around the corner.

He leaned against the shadows, his palm unconsciously pressing against his wildly beating heart.

This Luo Ren...

"Really..."

Pei Yuening chuckled helplessly.

The carriage driver was so serious, and he even spoke softly to coax him.

And then he turned around and beat the person up? He even hurt himself because of it?

"..."

I hope Joshua didn't die, otherwise Egg wouldn't be able to enter his dreams.

The garden echoed with Gao Gao's laughter and the sound of Juan Juan flapping its wings, occasionally punctuated by Dan Dan's complaints, mixed with Xue Qiu's soft bleating.

Pei Yuening stood at the end of the corridor and listened for a while, then took a deep breath.

"I'm back—did anyone miss me?"

"Owner!!!!!"

"Brother Ge!!!!"

Several voices exploded at the same time.

Pei Yuening chuckled and stepped into the garden.

As soon as the sunlight fell on him, he was simultaneously attacked in the face by three unidentified creatures.

Gao Gao and Juan Juan flapped their wings and each hugged one of his cheeks, showering him with kisses.

Snowball couldn't outjump them, so it frantically ran around in circles, desperately raising its hooves to pry at Pei Yuening's legs, wanting him to hug it.

Pei Yuening didn't stop them, letting them drool all over his face, then squatted down without changing his expression and picked up Xueqiu.

Snowball stopped fussing as soon as it was in his arms, burying its head in his arm and rubbing its round little horns against his wrist, making soft, contented humming sounds.

Pei Yuening sat down on a bench in the garden, holding the two animals, Gao Gao and Juan Juan, on his left and right shoulders respectively.

Egg slowly popped out from behind the rock, rolled over, and squatted down next to him.

"What were you guys playing just now?"

Gao Gao said, "We're playing 'Old Egg, Old Egg, what time is it?'"

Pei Yuening almost couldn't remember which game was the official version.

Eggy added quietly, "Heh, she's practically the worst-respecting flower fairy on the entire internet when it comes to respecting copyright."

"Never mind that."

Pei Yuening couldn't help but chuckle, a rare moment of satisfaction in her voice: "That's good. Finally, we're playing some games that kids should play."

"I'll teach you to play something else next time I have time."

"Okay, okay!" Gao Gao tilted her head. "By the way, Master, how's that idiot from this morning doing?"

Pei Yuening quickly covered Xueqiu's ears: "Children aren't allowed to swear!"

Gao Gao smiled ingratiatingly, "Oh, oh..."

She asked, "Has he come to bully you again? If he dares to come again, I'll use magic to turn him into a pig's head!"

Pei Yuening shook her head: "No, he has already dropped out of school and won't be coming back."

Juanjuan also asked, "So, Master... you're just going to let him go like that?"

Pei Yuening scoffed, "Of course not. Do you think I'm that magnanimous?"

He turned his head: "Egg."

"Gah."

"Enter his dreams at night and play a few horror movies on a loop for him."

"The Grudge is the foundation, the Ring is the sequel, and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum is the finale."

"Replace him as the main character, run three parts in a loop, and broadcast them for three days and three nights."

Egg gave an OK sign: "No problem, Master, I understand. Leave it to me."

Gao Gao: "Wow, he's a rich man, starring in three epic masterpieces all at once."

"Hahahaha," Pei Yuening poked her head, "Alright, are you guys hungry?"

"Hungry!!!"

Pei Yuening thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have porridge for dinner. We can also make some cold shrimp salad and shredded potatoes to go with it."

"good!!!"

"By the way, Gao Gao," Pei Yuening suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Gao Gao turned around.

Pei Yuening moved closer, and Gao Gao instinctively offered her little ear.

Pei Yuening whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Gao Gao folded her wings, stood at attention, and saluted: "Yes, Sir! I'll be there in a bit!"
