The old woman came over, glanced at the letter, and her expression changed drastically.

"Third Miss, this is a serious matter. We must report it to Master and Madam immediately."

“That’s not appropriate.” Miss Bai shook her head: “Father is full of righteousness and will definitely take this letter to question the Zhao family. Of course, the Zhao family will deny it outright. Not only will we not be able to deal with the Zhao family, but the Bai family will also be easily labeled as unreasonable, making it seem as if the Bai family deliberately provoked the Zhao family, which will be detrimental to us.”

"So what does the Third Miss plan to do?"

"I won't believe everything in this letter. I need to investigate thoroughly first. If the Zhao family is confirmed, then I'll proceed to the next step."

"Aunt Chen, you must keep this a secret and never let it slip out."

The old woman nodded quickly.

Miss Bai went to find Young Master Bai.

Young Master Bai was having a cricket fight in the courtyard. Two large, glossy black crickets were locked in a fierce battle in a small cage. Bai Er clapped his hands, clearly excited: "They've got a bite! They've got a bite! Good, good, good!"

Looking back, Miss Bai was standing right behind me.

"Third sister, look! These two crickets are such a good fighter, one male and one female. I've never seen them fight like this before, hehe."

Young Master Bai's smile was somewhat lewd.

"I can't let them kill me. Their offspring will definitely be stronger, and then I'll be the cricket fighting king of the capital."

"Second brother, I saw the sachets you used the other day and I really liked them. Could you give me a few so I can use them to scent my study?" Miss Bai said.

"Okay, Wangcai, go to the study and find it for Third Sister."

"No need, I'll choose myself."

Miss Bai entered the room, closed the door, and went to rummage under the bed sheets.

Sure enough, she found a packet of medicine. She held her breath, took out a little bit, put it in a handkerchief, and put it away. Then she casually took out a few sachets from the drawer and went out.

"Third Sister, are you really not going to take a look before you leave? You might not find a pair of such fine crickets for years." The Second Young Master Bai became more and more excited as he looked at them, completely unaware that he had already been framed.

"I'm not watching anymore." Miss Bai frowned. Fortunately, the Bai family only has one useless member, otherwise what would become of them in the future?

It was precisely because the Second Young Master Bai was so inhuman that the Bai family started targeting him.

Back in her own courtyard, Miss Bai asked her nanny to fetch a doctor.

"This is a drug that triggers a horse's urges, and its effects are extremely potent. Once it takes hold, even several skilled martial artists might not be able to control it," the doctor said.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Miss Bai found two people skilled in light-footed martial arts and sent them to steal the account book from the Jixiang Pharmacy.

In the middle of the night, the ledger was stolen. Looking back at the previous dates, they were able to find a record of Young Master Bai buying this medicine at Jixiang Pharmacy.

"My second brother spends all his time fighting crickets or eating, drinking and having fun outside. He doesn't care about family matters at all. Father only found out after he fell ill for several days. How could he suddenly think of buying such things and plotting against Mu Xinghe?"
