Zheng Fangyu trembled with anger. When she looked up and saw Chen Zhixiu's smug gaze, her reason vanished in an instant: "What's wrong with me? Am I wrong?"

"Taro didn't deserve to die! Shouldn't I demand an explanation?"

"She's just a servant, why make things so difficult for Mother? Could it be that in your heart, Mother isn't as important as a servant?" Chen Zhixiu said calmly. "If that's what you think, it's too heartbreaking."

Zheng Fangyu gritted her teeth and said, "Don't try to sow discord here! Taro and I have had a relationship for many years, and it's different from that of ordinary servants!"

"So what?" Xiao Guangyuan turned to stare at Zheng Fangyu. "Now that Yutou is dead, do you want my mother to pay for a maid's life?"

Zheng Fangyu became anxious: "How could you think of me like that, sir? I just want justice!"

"Justice is that Taro died without cause," Chen Zhixiu said calmly. "Butler."

At Chen Zhixiu's command, the steward led the servants forward to pay their respects, and everyone began to chop taro.

The more Zheng Fangyu listened, the uglier her face became. She wanted to argue that Yutou was innocent, but seeing the evidence the maids and servants presented, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Grandma is doing a service to the people!" Bai Tuantuan looked at Grandma Xiao with a smile and gave her a thumbs up. "Grandma is amazing!"

At first, Old Mrs. Xiao was also very scared, but now she puffed out her chest and said with great pride, "Yuan'er, look, your mother can manage the household for you too!"

Xiao Guangyuan naturally sided with his mother. After thinking for a moment, he quickly said, "From today onwards, I will trouble Mother to manage the household. If Mother has any questions, just ask me."

Zheng Fangyu turned around abruptly, looking at Xiao Guangyuan in disbelief: "Master! You want to take over my control of the family?"

"What's wrong with a mother taking charge of the household?" Chen Zhixiu said with a smile. "I think it's wonderful!"

Zheng Fangyu stared intently at Chen Zhixiu and roared, "You bitch!"

"Slap!" Xiao Guangyuan slapped Zheng Fangyu across the face.

"You dare hit me?" Zheng Fangyu covered her face, looking at Xiao Guangyuan in shock.

Xiao Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Bai Tuantuan exclaim in surprise: "Oh my god! Daddy, you've been poisoned!"

"Yuan'er!" Old Mrs. Xiao called out anxiously.

Xiao Guangyuan also tensed up: "What's going on?"

Chen Zhixiu's face was solemn: "My husband should know that Tuantuan is a disciple of my mother and my elder brother. My elder brother is from the Valley of Divine Doctors, so Tuantuan's medical skills are beyond doubt."

"I know, but how did I get poisoned?" Xiao Guangyuan asked with some doubt.

Bai Tuantuan looked at Zheng Fangyu, then took Xiao Guangyuan's pulse and slowly said, "Father, you were poisoned at midnight last night. It's called poppy incense. Poppy incense can make people feel hot and excited, as if they have inexhaustible energy. The day after being poisoned by this incense, you will feel tired and purple marks will appear on your body. They will fade away after three days."

"Every time you inhale this fragrance, your health will deteriorate, and this fragrance only works on men!"

Bai Tuantuan rolled up Xiao Guangyuan's sleeve, revealing his arm, where the purple marks were particularly glaring.

"Yuan'er!"

Grandma Xiao rushed to Xiao Guangyuan and asked anxiously, "What should we do? Quickly, get a doctor..."

"It's alright," Bai Tuantuan's soft voice rang out. "As long as we don't get poisoned like this again, it'll be fine. It's really strange, who would poison Father, especially at midnight!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guangyuan quickly looked at Zheng Fangyu.

No wonder, no wonder he suddenly acted impulsively towards Zheng Fangyu! It turns out she drugged him!

Zheng Fangyu remained calm and ignored Xiao Guangyuan's gaze.

However, Xiao Guangyuan took a step forward, pressing Zheng Fangyu closely: "Was it you?!"

"Master, how could I..."

"A quick check will do!" Bai Tuantuan brought a cup of tea to Zheng Fangyu. "Anyone who comes into contact with poppy will have their hands turn red!"

As she spoke, Bai Tuantuan dipped her hand into the tea, but the tea did not change color.

Chen Zhixiu also put it in, but still nothing.

Zheng Fangyu's face turned pale, and she gripped her handkerchief tightly.

"Second Aunt, it's your turn." Bai Tuantuan handed the tea forward, but Zheng Fangyu suddenly waved her hand, spilling the tea on Bai Tuantuan's hand.

The teacup shattered with a crack, startling Bai Tuantuan who burst into tears, "Waaaaah, Daddy...it hurts so much..."

Xiao Guangyuan picked up the teapot and poured the tea into Zheng Fangyu's hand.

"ah!"

Zheng Fangyu frantically tried to wipe the tea clean, but the red stains remained, infuriating Xiao Guangyuan.

"Walk!"

Xiao Guangyuan grabbed Zheng Fangyu and pulled her out.

"That bitch! That bitch! She actually hurt Yuan'er! Unforgivable!" Old Mrs. Xiao was furious and kept cursing Zheng Fangyu.

Chen Zhixiu was impatient to listen to all this, so she made up an excuse and left with Bai Tuantuan.

"Mother, how will Father punish Second Mother?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously.

Chen Zhixiu laughed: "I won't let your father get away with this so easily."

Bai Tuantuan replied, "I'm going to the academy tomorrow, so I'm going out to buy some things."

Okay, be careful.

After watching Bai Tuantuan leave, Chen Zhixiu turned and went to Xiao Guangyuan's courtyard. In her previous life, she had been so cruel to Tuantuan. Now, it was time to pay back some interest.

After Bai Tuantuan and Ruotang came out, they headed straight for the shop selling stationery.

"What would you like, Miss?" the waiter greeted her warmly. "We have all the Four Treasures of the Study here."

"Then let's get the best!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. "I'll trouble you to prepare everything for me, brother. I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Alright! Don't worry, Miss, I'll definitely get you the best." The waiter chatted casually while working, "Where are you going to study, Miss?"

"The Capital Academy!"

The waiter's hand paused slightly, and he quickly bowed, saying, "So you are an important person!"

"What important person?"

The curtain to the inner room was lifted, and a twelve-year-old boy came out. He looked Bai Tuantuan up and down, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes: "So you are Princess Changning."

"Miss, this is Mu Xiangyang, the grandson of Prince Ping."

"So he's the grandson of King Ping."

Bai Tuantuan replied with a smile.

"You!" Mu Xiangyang glared at Bai Tuantuan. Although what she said was true, it felt like she was being insulted.

Bai Tuantuan tilted her head: "Is there anything else?"

"Heh, you bought this?" Mu Xiangyang walked to the side, looked at the writing set in the young man's hands, and mocked, "You think you deserve to use such good stuff?"

"I'm not worthy, are you?" Bai Tuantuan raised an eyebrow.

"Hehe, what I use are all imperial gifts! How can these things compare!" Mu Xiangyang rolled his eyes.

Bai Tuantuan shrugged: "Just say you don't have money to buy these things! I won't laugh at you for being poor!"

"you!"

Mu Xiangyang's ears turned red: "You're talking nonsense!"

After Bai Tuantuan finished collecting her things, she didn't want to argue with Mu Xiangyang. Did she really think she hadn't seen the envious and jealous look in his eyes when he looked at her writing implements?

If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why resort to personal attacks?

Do you really think she's easy to bully?

After Bai Tuantuan turned and stepped out of the shop, she turned back to Mu Xiangyang, who was somewhat angry, and said in a serious tone, "The Emperor also bestowed upon me the Four Treasures of the Study, and two sets at that! More impressive than you, right!"

Mu Xiangyang: ...
