Bai Tuantuan nestled in Chen Luo's arms, silently shedding tears.

"Good Tuantuan, look at your grandfather, can you see him? We're all here, here to support you, Tuantuan, don't be afraid..."

Bai Tuantuan clung tightly to Chen Luo's neck: "Grandpa... I'm scared... Waaah..."

Hearing Bai Tuantuan's cries, the hearts of both the Bai and Chen families were broken.

Yuan Chenchen walked over to Feng Yue's side, looking at her with great concern: "A Yue, how is it, Xiu'er, that child..."

"It's alright." Feng Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief. "It's arsenic, but the dosage is small, so it can be treated."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chenchen finally felt relieved.

Then, he looked at Xiao Guangyuan and Zheng Fangyu, closed his eyes and said, "There are some things I wanted to turn a blind eye to, but you have bullied my son again and again. Do you really think we parents are dead?"

"mother in law……"

"Don't call me mother-in-law!" Yuan Chenchen interrupted Xiao Guangyuan. "Didn't you divorce Xiu'er a long time ago? If Xiu'er hadn't been so determined to be with you, you would have been forced to take off your official robes just for abandoning your wife who had shared your hardships!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guangyuan's face turned deathly pale: "You all knew?"

"Heh, Xiao Guangyuan, you don't actually think we've all been kept in the dark, do you?" Yuan Chenchen sneered. "We can let bygones be bygones, but I will definitely investigate the matter of my son's poisoning to the very end!"

"ah!"

Zheng Fangyu suddenly screamed: "Bai Tuantuan also poisoned me! Can you really turn your own family against me for the greater good?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan lifted her head from Chen Luo's arms: "I didn't poison you."

"How could this be!" Zheng Fangyu's shrill voice rang out. "She clearly poisoned me! The master saw it too! And the butler!"

The butler hesitated for a moment, then secretly glanced at Bai Tuantuan.

"Butler, just say whatever you see." Bai Tuantuan stepped out of Chen Luo's arms and stood in the center, the little girl showing no fear whatsoever.

The butler nodded and said, "I did see Miss put a pill into the Second Madam's mouth."

"Did you all hear that?" Zheng Fangyu stared at the crowd. "Hand over the antidote right now!"

"They're just ordinary meatballs. If you don't believe me, you can always call a doctor to examine them."

Bai Tuantuan took a deep breath and slowly said, "I'm not as ruthless as Xiao Ruyan."

"Xiao Guangyuan, what else do you have to say?" Yuan Chenchen glanced at Xiao Guangyuan. "Hand over the murderer."

Zheng Fangyu immediately said, "What murderer? Where is the murderer?"

"That's enough." Yuan Chenchen sighed. "Old man, let's report it to the authorities."

Bai Han, who had been silent until now, responded and cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Luo and Feng Yue: "After reporting to the authorities, there are some things that I will have to trouble Brother Chen Luo and his wife with."

“We’ve wanted to stand up for Xiu’er for a long time, and we’ve already gathered the evidence.” Feng Yue glanced coldly at Xiao Guangyuan. “You’d better watch yourself.”

Bai Tuantuan walked over to Chen Zhixiu and fed her the medicine.

Xiao Guangyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, he panicked completely. If these things were exposed, he would be finished!

Thinking of this, Xiao Guangyuan immediately knelt down: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, it's my fault for not taking good care of Xiu'er. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't separate me from Xiu'er. I truly love Xiu'er!"

"Truly like her?" Feng Yue sneered. "Then what is Zheng Fangyu?"

"I married her only because she is the legitimate daughter of a Grand Secretary's family. Father-in-law and mother-in-law, you must believe me, my feelings for Xiu'er are real!"

"Xiao Guangyuan!"

Zheng Fangyu cried out. Although she had already come to this conclusion, hearing Xiao Guangyuan say it in person still broke her heart!

At this moment, Zheng Fangyu's face was full of anger: "You, you, you, you're really something!"

"mother!"

Xiao Ruyan rushed out, hugged Zheng Fangyu, and glared fiercely at Bai Tuantuan: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you and your mother, my father and mother wouldn't have been arguing! You bitches!"

"Slap!" Bai Tuantuan raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Watch your mouth!"

"You dare hit me! I'll fight you to the death!" Xiao Ruyan rushed towards Bai Tuantuan, but was kicked by Bai Tuantuan to Xiao Guangyuan's side.

"father!"

Xiao Ruyan burst into tears!

Zheng Fangyu was heartbroken.

"Shut up!" Xiao Guangyuan felt a headache coming on and scolded in a low voice, but Xiao Ruyan cried even harder.

"Father, how dare you yell at me! You actually yelled at me for the sake of a vile woman!"

"Smack!"

Xiao Guangyuan slapped Xiao Ruyan across the face.

"Xiao Guangyuan, what are you doing!" Zheng Fangyu pushed Xiao Guangyuan to the ground, hugged Xiao Ruyan, and kept comforting her.

Seeing the noisy scene, Bai Tuantuan remained calm, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"round and round……"

Chen Zhixiu woke up in bed.

Bai Tuantuan quickly helped Chen Zhixiu up and briefly explained the scene before them: "Mom, let's go back. We don't want to waste any more time with them."

Chen Zhixiu looked at Bai Tuantuan in surprise. Seeing that her eyes were red, she knew that Bai Tuantuan was worried about her.

“Mom, I know you have many, many plans, but they are too cruel.” Bai Tuantuan said, tears falling down her face. “We have so many relatives, we can’t let them be sad.”

Chen Zhixiu fell silent, looking at Bai Tuantuan with pity: "Alright, Mother will listen to Tuantuan."

Although they were given a second chance at life, they were ultimately not ruthless enough.

"Xiu'er! I was wrong! Xiu'er!" Seeing Chen Zhixiu stand up and want to leave, Xiao Guangyuan quickly stood up and rushed to her side. "Xiu'er, don't go!"

Chen Zhixiu met Xiao Guangyuan's eyes, and seeing his distressed appearance, she chuckled softly: "Xiao Guangyuan, when you forced me to drink poison, it was already over between us."

"Mother..." Bai Tuantuan called out in a trembling voice.

Chen Zhixiu looked at Bai Tuantuan with a consolation, then turned her head and said coldly, "I noticed something was wrong with the teapot in the study a long time ago. You stopped me and watched as Xiao Ruyan and Zheng Fangyu poured the tea into my mouth."

“Sleeve, you know she said that as long as you drink the tea, she can promote me. I'm doing this for our future. Besides, I know Tuantuan is a skilled doctor, so you'll definitely be fine.”

Xiao Guangyuan retorted, "How could I put you in danger?"

"So, you're saying that your relationship with Zheng Fangyu was just a fling, and that you were only interested in her family background?"

Xiao Guangyuan immediately replied, "Of course!"

"Xiao Guangyuan!" Zheng Fangyu glared at Xiao Guangyuan with hatred. "You're shameless!"

Xiao Guangyuan can't care about Zheng Fangyu now. Compared to Chen Zhixiu, if he abandons Zheng Fangyu, he will only be called heartless. But Chen Zhixiu is different. Abandoning his wife who has shared his hardships will make him the target of gossip!

Moreover, Chen Zhixiu has so many powerful backers now, he can't afford to offend any of them!

Chen Zhixiu smiled gently: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

“Xiu’er, I know you still have feelings for me, otherwise you wouldn’t have hidden the fact that you were divorced and become my wife. I…” Xiao Guangyuan looked at Chen Zhixiu with deep affection, “Xiu’er, please give me another chance?”

"not good."

Nan Nian's voice came over: "I have already reported this to the authorities. Xiao Guangyuan and Zheng Fangyu, you are suspected of hiring someone to murder the princess. I have already submitted the evidence. Go and try to argue with the officials!"
