"Childish!" Looking at Bai Tuantuan's back, Mu Xiangyang's face showed disdain.

"Master." The waiter walked over and secretly glanced at Mu Xiangyang. "That's Princess Changning! She's chubby and so cute."

The waiter's eyes were round and bright as he spoke with a smile.

Mu Xiangyang tapped the waiter on the head: "So fat, you'll never get married!"

The waiter shrank back: "Master, if you don't like her, why did you sell the goods to her?"

"Who would turn down money?" Mu Xiangyang rolled his eyes and walked out the door.

"Mu Xiangyang is so cute!" Bai Tuantuan exclaimed. "This is the first time I've ever seen such a cute boy."

"Shh." Ruotang made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Don't say it in front of Young Master Mu. He hates it when people say he's cute."

Bai Tuantuan looked at Ruotang in confusion: "Why is that?"

"I heard that Young Master Mu's birth mother was just a concubine. She was so cute that she bewitched the Prince of Ping. Naturally, the Princess Consort was jealous and had his birth mother executed. She also ordered that no cute women or men should be recruited into the household."

"Are you crazy?!" Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. "If the Crown Princess is so capable, why don't you execute the Crown Prince too? What kind of ability is it to make things difficult for a woman?"

Ruotang looked at Bai Tuantuan helplessly.

Bai Tuantuan sighed inwardly. Having witnessed so much of what happened in the 21st-century world, she really couldn't accept the world she was in now.

Monogamy is so wonderful!

"Miss, where are we going now?" Ruotang changed the subject.

Bai Tuantuan didn't hesitate and thought for a moment before saying, "It's still early, let's go to Erdong Restaurant."

"Tuantuan?" Chen Xiaoran, who was checking accounts at Erdong Restaurant, smiled and said when he heard the manager's words, "Bring her up."

"Uncle!" Bai Tuantuan saw Chen Xiaoran, her eyes crinkling with joy, and quickly ran over. "Uncle, are you busy?"

Her soft, sweet voice melted Chen Xiaoran's heart.

He immediately pulled Bai Tuantuan into his arms: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Bai Tuantuan gave Ruotang a look, and Ruotang stood guard at the door.

Bai Tuantuan then asked, "Uncle, has the matter of the Imperial Concubine in the palace been resolved?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoran pinched Bai Tuantuan's nose: "Yes, the evidence has been presented. Now it's up to His Majesty to decide."

"Having poisoned two princesses and the Empress Dowager, does the Emperor think he can be lenient with the sentence?"

Bai Tuantuan raised an eyebrow: "That won't do!"

"It seems that Tuantuan did this on purpose. Why is that?" Chen Xiaoran handed the snacks to Bai Tuantuan and watched her nibble on them like a little hamster, unable to stop smiling.

Bai Tuantuan nodded and said very seriously, "That's right. I exposed the matter of the Imperial Concubine in order to cut off Zheng Fangyu's backing! Otherwise, why would I go to all that trouble and expose my own trump cards?"

Thinking of this, Bai Tuantuan sighed: "Luckily, no one has asked me to tell their fortune."

Looking at Bai Tuantuan's mature demeanor, Chen Xiaoran laughed: "With the Emperor as your backer, who would be so foolish as to seek you out?"

"That's right!"

Bai Tuantuan became smug.

"I will gather information about the Imperial Concubine for you, but you should not get involved in anything else."

"Forming cliques?" Bai Tuantuan took a bite of her pastry and met Chen Xiaoran's eyes. "But is it something I can simply avoid by not getting involved?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoran remained speechless for a long time, finally letting out a sigh and silently rubbing the little white head.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock at the door: "Boss! Something's wrong! Someone's causing trouble!"

Bai Tuantuan quickly got up from Chen Xiaoran's arms and rushed out: "Someone's causing trouble? Where?"

Xiao Er was momentarily speechless when he saw Bai Tuantuan's excited expression.

Chen Xiaoran walked over and glanced at the noisy crowd below: "Let's go take a look."

Bai Tuantuan and Ruotang followed behind Chen Xiaoran, and the noise became clearer the further they went down the road.

"What? Am I wrong? Isn't Xiao Guangyuan just relying on women? Ungrateful, treacherous! Bah!"

A familiar voice came from over, and Bai Tuantuan looked over in surprise: "It's Uncle Rong!"

Rong Ping, her face flushed and neck thick, stood on the stool and said, "Where did I go wrong? He abandoned his wife who had shared his hardships and married the daughter of Grand Scholar Zheng, just because Grand Scholar Zheng was a first-rank official, right? Now that his wife who had shared his hardships has become the daughter of the Prime Minister, he has elevated Grand Scholar Zheng's daughter to the status of a secondary wife, just because he wants both of them, right?"

"What you're saying is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I think Lord Xiao is very fortunate. Otherwise, how could he attract the attention of two young ladies?"

"Where did Lord Xiao go wrong? People strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. If I met someone better, I would want that too! Besides, the Prime Minister's daughter grew up in the countryside; how can she compare to Scholar Zheng's daughter?"

"Bang!"

Rong Ping punched the man in the face: "My young lady is as beautiful as an angel and virtuous. Don't ruin her reputation!"

Bai Tuantuan looked at Rong Ping in shock: "Wow, that's amazing!"

Chen Xiaoran stopped the shopkeeper who wanted to mediate the fight, his expression grave: "Bring me that person's information. From now on, we will not serve anyone who has any connection with him!"

The shopkeeper quickly agreed and hurried off to check the person's information.

"What's wrong with you?" The person who was hit covered their eyes and glared angrily at Rong Ping. "Could it be that you like that Prime Minister's daughter?"

"Wang Da, stop talking nonsense." Someone nearby quickly pulled Wang Da aside and whispered, "Don't cause trouble."

"Ha, I, Wang Da, am not one to back down from trouble!" Wang Da grabbed Rong Ping's collar. "I told you so, so what? Madam Xiao the Second is better than Madam Xiao the First!"

"Bang!"

Rongping made her move again, and this time, the two eyes were symmetrical!

"I'll beat you to death!" Wang Da immediately started fighting with Rong Ping. Rong Ping was a trained fighter after all, and quickly gained the upper hand.

Only the plates and cups on the table were damaged.

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to spout rubbish!" Rong Ping punched Wang Da repeatedly, causing Wang Da to beg for mercy in pain.

"Uncle Rong!" Bai Tuantuan walked over and tugged at Rong Ping's sleeve. "Don't hit Uncle Rong."

When Rong Ping saw Bai Tuantuan, her drunken eyes cleared somewhat, and she quickly let go of Wang Da.

Bai Tuantuan fed Wang Da the pills she carried with her, then checked his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief: "You can go now."

Those nearby quickly helped Wang Da up and left.

Rong Ping stood in the center, looking at Chen Xiaoran who was walking over with great embarrassment: "Young Master, this, this... how much is it? I'll pay for it."

“We’re brothers, no need for that.” Chen Xiaoran patted Rong Ping on the shoulder. “Well done.”

Rong Ping was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled sheepishly.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the crowd pushed and shoved their way out.

"Boss, I've found out." The shopkeeper ran over. "This man is an ordinary villager from Wangjia Village, but his sister works for the Zheng family. I suspect he is acting under the orders of the Zheng family."

Chen Xiaoran narrowed his eyes: "Since you're so eager to spread rumors, fine, let's spread one too."

"What are you spreading?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously.

"Rumor has it that Madam Xiao the Second is ruthless and murderous, and attempted to assassinate the first wife!"

Bai Tuantuan's eyes widened, silently praying for Zheng Fangyu's recovery. This time, Zheng Fangyu was doomed.
