Bai Tuantuan used her charm and cuteness to coax Bai Han, making Chen Luo extremely envious.

Bai Tuantuan naturally wouldn't show favoritism, and after chatting with Chen Luo for a while, she said, "I will write down the acupuncture techniques for my eldest uncle and maternal grandmother, so that our whole family can use them to strengthen our bodies and live to be a hundred years old!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Han laughed: "A hundred years old! I really can't imagine!"

Bai Tuantuan said in a serious tone, "Yes, Grandpa, you still have to help me take care of the children!"

The two elderly people were taken aback for a moment, then burst into loud laughter.

After chatting for a while and having breakfast, Chen Luo returned to the Chen family home, while Bai Han and Bai Tuantuan went back to catch up on their sleep.

After Chen Zhixiu woke up, she talked with Yuan Chenchen for a while and then walked out of the mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Rong Ping sitting in the carriage: "Miss, are you going out?"

Chen Zhixiu was taken aback.

Rong Ping jumped down, her face full of a bright smile: "Miss, if you need to go, you can come here. I'll take you there."

"Are you alright?" Chen Zhixiu looked at Rong Ping with suspicion. "I remember Sixth Brother is going to the Ministry of War today. Aren't you going with him?"

"Sixth Young Master said I should follow you!"

Rong Ping immediately said, "Miss, please get in the carriage."

Chen Zhixiu raised her eyebrows, looked at Rong Ping's smile, and didn't say much: "Okay, let's go to Erdong Restaurant first."

"Alright!" Rong Ping replied, and drove the carriage toward Er Dong Restaurant.

At this time, Erdong Restaurant was bustling with people.

After getting off the carriage, Chen Zhixiu led Rong Ping directly to the private room on the second floor.

After we sat down, the innkeeper served tea. Not long after, the door to the next private room opened, and then a familiar voice came from inside.

"What are you going to do? Are you trying to kill me?"

Rong Ping looked at Chen Zhixiu and saw that the corners of her lips were upturned, so she knew that she had come here specifically to wait for Xiao Guangyuan.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Zhixiu placed the teacup on the table and turned the armrest next to her, instantly creating a small square gap in the wall between the two private rooms.

Rong Ping was taken aback and was about to ask something when Chen Zhixiu stopped her.

Then Chen Zhixiu walked to the desk and wrote a few lines.

Rong Ping looked over and realized that this was a mechanism within the Er Dong Restaurant.

Bai Han has been doing this all these days, just to watch the show.

As for Xiao Guangyuan's private room, a painting conveniently blocked the view of the square, so nothing seemed amiss.

However, Chen Zhixiu could hear what was being said in the next private room through the small square, and if she looked closely, she could even see the figures.

"Xiao Guangyuan, you are ruthless! If I hadn't been lucky, I would have died at your hands long ago!" Zheng Fangyu gritted her teeth and looked at Xiao Guangyuan, saying each word clearly, "I have done so much for you, and you actually turned on me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Guangyuan sneered: "Zheng Fangyu, don't portray yourself as so noble. It's nothing more than mutual exploitation. If you truly had feelings for me, why would you want a divorce?"

"You chose Chen Zhixiu over me! You betrayed our relationship first! You wanted to use the Bai family to suppress the Zheng family!"

Zheng Fangyu roared, "You do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth, what's wrong with that?"

Xiao Guangyuan's face was dark and gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were bulging with anger!

Looking at Xiao Guangyuan, Zheng Fangyu took a deep breath and said, word by word, "I have evidence that you killed someone to cover it up, Xiao Guangyuan. If you hand over this evidence, you will only have death to live on!"

"And Prince Ping, if I were to tell him that I know you're doing things in his residence, do you think he would still protect you?"

Zheng Fangyu glared angrily at Xiao Guangyuan: "Since you want me dead, I will absolutely not let you live!"

Xiao Guangyuan's heart skipped a beat. Looking at Zheng Fangyu's angry face, his eyes flickered and a look of sadness appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

The sudden apology left Zheng Fangyu stunned.

Rong Ping was even more surprised. She looked at Chen Zhixiu, only to see Chen Zhixiu with a mocking smile on her face, writing a single word: "act".

"Yu'er, it's all my fault. I still love you. When I found out you wanted a divorce, I was so angry that I did what I did! I'm sorry!"

Xiao Guangyuan immediately knelt down.

Zheng Fangyu was so frightened that she quickly took two steps back.

"Back then, between you and Chen Zhixiu, I chose you, Yu'er. But I couldn't do without Chen Zhixiu's help. Although Chen Zhixiu was in my household, I never touched her even once. I swear!"

Zheng Fangyu stared at Xiao Guangyuan for a long while before saying, "Are you telling the truth?"

“Of course! Yu’er, it’s because I loved you so deeply that I hated you so much when you abandoned me…” Xiao Guangyuan wiped away his tears and said slowly, “I stayed in the capital and chose Prince Ping because I wanted to be closer to you and your daughter…”

"Look, this is the dowry I prepared for Yan'er. I've kept all the silver that Prince Ping gave me. Look..."

Xiao Guangyuan took out the silver note from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Fangyu. The name "Xiao Ruyan" was clearly written on it.

Zheng Fangyu looked at Xiao Guangyuan in astonishment. Seeing the sincerity on his face, she was unsure whether to believe him or not.

Xiao Guangyuan seemed to see through Zheng Fangyu's thoughts and quickly said, "I know you won't forgive me right away, but it's okay, I can wait. I will let you know that everything I did was because I love you so much."

"Yu'er, I can't be out for too long. Shall we meet again tomorrow?" Xiao Guangyuan glanced at the sky and gave Zheng Fangyu some more silver. "I know you don't lack money, but this is a token of my appreciation."

Zheng Fangyu pursed her lips: "I understand."

After the two left one after the other, Chen Zhixiu turned off the mechanism and stood up: "Let's go."

"Why would Xiao Guangyuan deposit money in Xiao Ruyan's name?" Rong Ping was completely baffled. "Could it be, as he said, that he truly has the heart of a loving father?"

“I don’t believe it,” Chen Zhixiu said sarcastically. “Xiao Guangyuan loves himself the most. The reason he uses Xiao Ruyan’s name is simply because it’s not safe to use his own name.”

It must be said that Chen Zhixiu's guess was correct.

Xiao Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to the Prince Ping's residence. Fortunately, he had used Xiao Ruyan's name to deposit the silver notes in order to avoid attracting attention. As for Zheng Fangyu, she had to be dealt with; keeping her around was just a menace!

but……

If I reconcile with Zheng Fangyu, the Zheng family should also help me. What am I afraid of then?

Thinking this, Xiao Guangyuan felt a surge of excitement. Just as he was about to go find Prince Ping, a servant rushed in.

"It's terrible, Mr. Xiao! You're now a wanted criminal!"
