“Mother…” Bai Tuantuan grasped Chen Zhixiu’s hand, but Chen Zhixiu grasped it back.

"It's alright, it's just this little bit. Once Mother gets over this, everything will be alright."

Bai Tuantuan nodded.

If we're talking about hatred, Bai Tuantuan's hatred isn't as intense as Chen Zhixiu's. After all, Chen Zhixiu witnessed her daughter being turned into a human pig, and no one can truly understand that kind of pain.

As for herself, she was liberated; yes, being turned into a human pig was liberation.

After being reborn, she had so many doting uncles and aunts, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and brothers. The hatred in her heart slowly faded away until Xiao Guangyuan was stripped of his official position, by which time she no longer harbored much hatred.

But she knew that Chen Zhixiu wouldn't forgive them so easily, and she could understand that. However, she didn't want Chen Zhixiu to only see hatred and not the love that the people around her had for her.

"I'll kill you!"

A shrill voice interrupted Bai Tuantuan's thoughts.

As she watched Zheng Fangyu's knife plunge into Xiao Guangyuan's chest, Bai Tuantuan's eyes flickered, and she looked at Chen Zhixiu.

A smile appeared on Chen Zhixiu's face, and then she laughed out loud, tears streaming down her face.

Bai Tuantuan clung tightly to Chen Zhixiu's arm, whispering comfortingly, "Mommy, it's all over...it's all over..."

Blood stained Chen Zhixiu's eyes.

For a moment, Chen Zhixiu felt her heart pounding, and she could only lower the curtain, close her eyes, and calm herself down.

Bai Tuantuan looked at Xiao Guangyuan's incredulous eyes, sneered, and soon someone reported to the authorities and brought Zheng Fangyu over.

Xiao Guangyuan slumped to the ground, trying to get up, but he had no strength left, and slowly closed his eyes.

The government officials carried Xiao Guangyuan to the clinic, but no doctor was willing to admit him.

After all, he was a dying man.

"Go to Ping'an Medical Clinic," a yamen runner said quickly. "It's not feasible for us to carry him."

At Ping An Medical Clinic, the manager had someone lay Xiao Guangyuan flat on the ground and called a doctor to stop his bleeding.

"Sirs, we can only do our best, but the patient's wound is too deep; I'm afraid the prognosis is grim..."

The shopkeeper said helplessly, "If she doesn't wake up, there's nothing we can do!"

The constable nodded: "Understood. If he is dead, bury him."

A constable took out some silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses."

The shopkeeper thanked him profusely, and after the constable disappeared, he quickly ordered the door to be closed.

Bai Tuantuan instructed the coachman to enter through the side door.

"Young master, he's in his room," the shopkeeper whispered. "He's barely hanging on."

Bai Tuantuan nodded and walked into the room with Chen Zhixiu. Looking at the person lying on the bed with a pale face, Bai Tuantuan curled her lips and said, "Mother, whatever you want to do for revenge, I'll do it."

Chen Zhixiu never expected that Bai Tuantuan would open a clinic, and a clinic that was quite famous among the people.

Chen Zhixiu rubbed Bai Tuantuan's head: "Smart Tuantuan."

After saying that, he walked to the bedside, looked at Xiao Guangyuan lying on the bed, and scoffed, "Regret it?"

When Xiao Guangyuan saw Chen Zhixiu, his eyes lit up. He tried to lift his hand, but he had no strength at all.

"Letting you die like this is too good for you." Chen Zhixiu took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into Xiao Guangyuan's body!

With each cut, the wounds were so deep that Xiao Guangyuan couldn't even cry out in pain.

Bai Tuantuan then fed Xiao Guangyuan a pill, enough to keep him going until Chen Zhixiu finished venting her anger.

It's time for Xiao Guangyuan to truly experience the feeling of wanting to die but being unable to.

If looks could kill, Xiao Guangyuan would have killed Chen Zhixiu a thousand times over!

"Does it hurt?" Chen Zhixiu threw the dagger at Xiao Guangyuan and sneered, "But we're in even more pain! I, Chen Zhixiu, have never wronged you in any way, yet you wanted to kill me and Tuantuan. You have no heart!"

"What goes around comes around. It's time for you to taste the bitterness of being killed, Xiao Guangyuan. You deserve it! Once you're in hell, don't even think about reincarnation. You'll only be fit for the eighteenth level, suffering endless torment! You'll be unable to live, unable to die!"

Xiao Guangyuan gasped for breath, looking at Bai Tuantuan with pleading eyes, clearly not wanting to die and begging Bai Tuantuan to give him more medicine.

Bai Tuantuan remained silent, staring at Xiao Guangyuan as his life force grew weaker and weaker until finally, his eyes widened and he fell silent.

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Chen Zhixiu plopped down on the stool, sweat beading on her forehead, but a carefree smile graced her face.

With a creak, the door suddenly opened.

Bai Tuantuan looked over warily, only to see Rong Manli and Nan Nian walk in.

"You guys go back first, we'll handle things here." Rong Manli glanced at the bloodstains on Xiao Guangyuan's body, frowned, and sighed inwardly.

Nan Nian walked over, tucked Chen Zhixiu's wind-blown hair behind her ear, and said slowly, "Go back, your godmother and mother are waiting at the Bai family home. We've prepared your favorite dishes."

Bai Tuantuan pursed her lips and whispered, "Do Grandmother and Maternal Grandmother both know?"

"How could we not know?" Nan Nian looked at Chen Zhixiu and said with a smile, "We know everything Xiu'er does. It's just that she wanted to do it herself, so we followed behind her and helped her refine the plan. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence, such a perfect match?"

Chen Zhixiu's nose tingled, and tears fell down her cheeks.

Nan Nian comforted her, "We're saying this not so you'll be grateful to us, but so you won't be afraid, so you won't be afraid to face us. We're all family, right, Xiu'er?"

Chen Zhixiu nodded, letting her tears fall.

Nan Nian hugged Chen Zhixiu and comforted her, "You've cried enough, now you should live a good life from now on."

Chen Zhixiu responded and took Bai Tuantuan's hand as they walked out.

“Having been given a second chance at life, I thought I could manipulate them at will, but I never expected that my family would have to clean up my tracks,” Chen Zhixiu said calmly.

Bai Tuantuan looked up at Chen Zhixiu and said, "Mother, we didn't come into contact with these things in our previous life. Even if we are reborn, we can't become gods."

A glimmer of clarity appeared in Chen Zhixiu's eyes: "Yes, Mother has misunderstood."

Chen Zhixiu looked down at Bai Tuantuan and rubbed her little head: "Mom can't see as clearly as Tuantuan."

Bai Tuantuan smiled and said, "That's because I inherited my mother's intelligence!"

After returning to the Bai family home, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning Xiao Guangyuan. After finishing their meal, they all went back to their rooms.

Bai Tuantuan stared at the sky, and as darkness fell, she quickly changed into her night clothes, jumped out of the window, and ran towards the Zheng family's house...

However, on the main road, they were stopped by people dressed in the same night clothes.

Bai Tuantuan frowned: "Big brother, you go your way and I'll go mine. We'll keep to ourselves. Why are you stopping me?"

"Fine, you go first, I'll let you go!" Bai Tuantuan said irritably.

The man in black chuckled softly: "Sorry, my purpose is to stop you."
