At this moment, Zheng Fangyu threw herself into Madam Zheng's arms and cried.

"Chen Zhixiu has gone too far!" Madam Zheng shouted angrily, then looked at Zheng Fangyu in her arms, both angry and pitying, "How could you let your life turn out like this?"

“I disagreed with the idea of ​​having an equal wife from the beginning. You were the one who said you could handle Chen Zhixiu, but look at you now?”

"Mother, don't say anymore," Madam Zheng whispered to comfort her. "My sister is also feeling bad. Let's think of a solution. Chen Zhixiu is only able to get my brother-in-law's attention because of the Bai family. Let's ask Father to help my sister."

"Help, help, help! When haven't I helped? But Xiao Guangyuan only has so many tricks up his sleeve, how much more can I help him?" Madam Zheng said irritably. "Besides, Kuang'er's job is still undecided. I thought that if I helped Xiao Guangyuan, he could help Kuang'er, but what happened?"

Zheng Fangyu wiped away her tears: "Brother, you have no official rank, how can you find a job?"

"There will always be a way." Madam Zheng sighed, glanced at Zheng Fangyu and then at Madam Zheng Xiao. If her son hadn't been so useless, he wouldn't have married a daughter from a humble family.

"Alright, just tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Madam Zheng rubbed her temples: "It's getting late, let's finish this quickly and go home."

"Mother, can't Father stand up for me?" Zheng Fangyu said unhappily.

"How can your father interfere in matters within the inner quarters?" Madam Zheng said irritably.

Zheng Fangyu pouted: "Then I want Chen Zhixiu dead! And that Bai Tuantuan too! Only when they're dead can they stop blocking Yan'er's and my path!"

Madam Zheng frowned deeply: "That might not be easy. If she dies suddenly, it will definitely attract the attention of the Bai family."

"Then take your time," Madam Zheng said dismissively. "I'll have someone send the medicine to you tomorrow."

Zheng Fangyu's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Mother."

Then, Zheng Fangyu whispered a few words in Madam Zheng's ear. Madam Zheng walked to the dressing table and took out the item: "This thing is bad for your health, don't use too much."

"Yes, Mother!"

Zheng Fangyu happily took the things and left. After returning to the Xiao family, Zheng Fangyu went to find Yutou.

"What?" Zheng Fangyu's face turned deathly pale. "Say that again!"

"Madam, Sister Taro is dead..."

"What a wonderful Chen Zhixiu! What a wonderful Bai Tuantuan!"

Zheng Fangyu shoved aside the maidservant in front of her and stormed into the Qixi Courtyard: "Chen Zhixiu! Get out here right now!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhixiu came out wearing her inner clothes, glanced at Zheng Fangyu indifferently, her loose hair fluttering in the wind, making her stunning beauty even more charming.

Zheng Fangyu narrowed her eyes, a surge of jealousy rising within her: "What a fine daughter you've raised! She actually killed Taro!"

"Where is the master? Let the master come out and judge this matter!"

As she spoke, Zheng Fangyu was about to rush inside!

"What are you doing?" Chen Zhixiu blocked Zheng Fangyu's way, and Granny Bai looked at Zheng Fangyu warily.

Zheng Fangyu's eyes were filled with anger: "You killed my personal maid, I want to know what Yutou did that you all disregarded her like this!"

“Then you’ve got the wrong person.” Chen Zhixiu raised an eyebrow. “We didn’t kill Taro.”

"Heh." Zheng Fangyu sneered, "Who else could it be but you? I saw Bai Tuantuan take her away with my own eyes. Could there be anyone else?"

"Yes, Tuantuan is young, so she went to find Grandma Xiao. Grandma Xiao agreed to punish Yutou, but Tuantuan doesn't know that Yutou was actually executed. So if you want to find someone, go find Grandma Xiao."

As she spoke, Chen Zhixiu yawned: "I'm tired, don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Granny, let's see the guests out."

Zheng Fangyu was shocked; it was actually Old Madam Xiao!

"Where is the master?" Zheng Fangyu asked quickly as she saw Chen Zhixiu about to leave.

"Naturally, it's in the study."

Zheng Fangyu breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to leave.

After hearing that the matter had been resolved, Bai Tuantuan, who was lying in bed, turned over and fell asleep.

The next morning, after washing up, Bai Tuantuan asked, "Where's Taro?"

"She was thrown into a mass grave." Ruotang frowned and sighed. "The second madam went to the study to find the master and slept there. She didn't care about Yutou, so the steward had him thrown out."

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan raised an eyebrow: "Yutou is Second Madam's personal maid, doesn't Second Madam care?"

"Tuantuan." Chen Zhixiu walked in. "Let's go to the Longevity Hospital."

At this moment, in the Changshou Courtyard, Zheng Fangyu cried softly, "Mother, I know this isn't your fault. You were just trying to avenge Tuantuan. But Yutou was my personal maid. If she did something wrong, you could have just told me. Why did you beat her to death..."

"Mother, if word gets out, people will think that everyone in the Xiao family is ruthless, which will be bad for Yan'er and Tuantuan's reputation!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said with a stern face, "What, do I need your permission to beat a servant?"

“That’s not what I meant, sir…” Zheng Fangyu looked at Xiao Guangyuan, her eyes glistening with tears.

Xiao Guangyuan, his face flushed, coughed twice after hearing Zheng Fangyu's voice: "Mother, this is indeed your fault."

Grandma Xiao's eyes widened, and she was about to speak when she heard Zheng Fangyu say, "It's not Mother's fault. Mother is only doing this for her granddaughter. I just didn't expect Tuantuan to be so petty. It was just that Yutou said a few wrong things..."

"Zheng Fangyu." Chen Zhixiu had just reached the door when she heard Zheng Fangyu's words. She lifted the curtain and walked in directly. "You want Tuantuan to take the blame? I've already had word spread about what Yutou did in the Xiao family. Mother and husband, rest assured, no one will have any designs on the Xiao family!"

Zheng Fangyu's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

"Taro is just a maid who looks down on her mother and bullies honest and dutiful servants. How can she not be beaten to death for such behavior?"

Chen Zhixiu's words made Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes light up.

Granny Xue, who was standing nearby, also said, "The old lady originally only wanted to teach Taro a lesson, but Taro insulted the old lady, the master, and the young lady."

“Miss is a county princess! Isn’t she going against the Emperor? For the sake of the Xiao family, the old lady has no choice but to execute her first.”

"This old servant believes that this matter cannot be blamed on Yutou. Yutou's mind has been spoiled, and if it is not dealt with now, he may do something to harm the Xiao family in the future!"

Bai Tuantuan blinked and chimed in, "That's right, Grandma is doing this for the good of the Xiao family, so why does Second Aunt blame Grandma?"

After a pause, Bai Tuantuan whispered, "Second Aunt doesn't respect Grandma at all. Even if Grandma did something wrong, she's still an elder! Why not just find a way to help Grandma clean up the mess? Making such a big fuss makes it seem like Grandma committed some heinous crime!"

Chen Zhixiu patted Bai Tuantuan's head and chimed in, "Husband, even if Mother has a bad background, she is still the mother who gave birth to you and raised you. We daughters-in-law should be filial to our mothers. How can we treat Mother like my sister does?"

Grandma Xiao was deeply moved: "It's Xiu'er and Tuan'er who care about this old woman! Yuan'er, you should take your wife and leave. I don't want to see her."

Xiao Guangyuan was naturally angry and glared at Zheng Fangyu, shouting, "Go back to your courtyard!"
