Bai Tuantuan brought Guan Xin to the Chen family. Feng Yue first treated her wounds and then had some food prepared and brought over.

"Eat up, eat whatever you want." Feng Yue pinched Guan Xin's arm and frowned. "You're too thin, you need to eat more."

Guan Xin drank her porridge without looking up, but Bai Tuantuan saw the tears in the bowl.

"Chip, how big are you?"

Guan Xin swallowed the porridge and slowly said, "Seven years old."

Bai Tuantuan was stunned: "Seven years old?"

Feng Yue looked over, touched Guan Xin's dry hair, and sighed: "If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought that you, Tuan Tuan, would have stayed here peacefully and that Grandma would take good care of you."

Guan Xin lifted her head from the bowl, wiped away her tears, and shook her head: "No, I can't drag you down. That person won't allow me to live a good life."

“Then sever ties, just like me.” Huang Lian walked in. These days at the Chen family, she had learned a lot and become more and more confident, while Lele beside her was overjoyed.

"Wow, Lele's birthmark has faded a lot!" Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. "My medical skills are truly amazing!"

Huang Lian laughed: "I've never seen anyone pat themselves on the back!"

Bai Tuantuan, however, propped her chin up and said, "One of you is seven years old and skinny, while the other is seven years old and frighteningly fat. Let's combine the two."

Guan Xin's heart trembled slightly as she looked at Huang Lian. She had heard of Huang Taiyi's daughter before, and she had envied her for a long time when she heard that she had severed ties with the Huang family.

But she couldn't do it because she couldn't do anything; she was just a useless person.

Huang Lian sat down next to Guan Xin and said calmly, "I know you because you are like me, but also different because I have a grandfather who loves me."

Guan Xin's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Mmm."

"Now that Tuantuan is willing to stand up for you, don't refuse because of your pride," Huang Lian said slowly. "What's the point of pride when you can't even survive?"

Guan Xin gripped the chopsticks tightly, turned to look at Bai Tuantuan, saw a faint smile on her face, and said in a hoarse voice, "I can't drag her down with me."

"If you sever ties, how can the housekeeper still look for her?"

Huang Lian scoffed, "You don't actually think I asked you to bring trouble to Tuantuan, do you?"

The tube looked at Huanglian in surprise, then realized what was happening and murmured, "Sever ties?"

Huang Lian raised an eyebrow: "What, you don't want to?"

“I think…” Guan Xin took a deep breath and looked at Feng Yue, “Grandma Chen, you…”

Feng Yue patted Guan Xin's little head and said slowly, "People in the martial arts world don't stand on ceremony. You children should discuss things yourselves."

As she spoke, Feng Yue stood up and instructed the maid to prepare a room for Guan Xin: "You'll stay here tonight. I'll go tell your father."

Watching Feng Yue's departing figure, Guan Xin pondered for a long time before saying, "I don't want to sever ties. What belongs to me, why can't I take it back?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and she leaned closer: "What do you want to do? Kill them, poison them, or...?"

“Death is too good for them.” Guan Xin gritted her teeth. “I’m going to take back my mother’s dowry.”

“That’s easy.” Bai Tuantuan thought for a moment and then called out, “Uncle Cheng Er, can you protect the core for me first?”

A black shadow appeared and bowed to the white figure.

Both the tube core and Coptis chinensis were startled.

Guan Xin looked at Cheng Er, who was wearing a black face mask and black clothes, with a puzzled expression.

"This is a bodyguard my family gave me. He's incredibly skilled. Let him stay by your side for now. If you encounter any danger, he'll protect you."

Guan Xin frowned: "I want to rely on myself..."

"Is it smart not to rely on someone you have? No, it's stupid!" Bai Tuantuan rolled her eyes and said dismissively, "Cheng Er can only protect you when you're hurt. As for how to take revenge and how to scheme, that's up to you. Of course, you can also discuss it with me."

"Oh right, this is your mother's thing, isn't it?" Bai Tuantuan took out a bracelet and handed it to Guan Xin. "Here, take it back. After all, it's your mother's keepsake. Keep it as a memento."

The core tube was stunned.

"It was just a few pastries, there was really no need for me to give you something so expensive." Bai Tuantuan laughed. "After all, we're friends!"

Guan Xin responded, her eyes reddening again. Fortunately, Chen Yijun returned with the ledger at that moment: "Oh, so many little girls. Tuantuan, are you your friend? Quickly introduce her to your uncle."

Guan Xin couldn't help but smile as Chen Yijun teased her.

"Alright, you guys eat and have fun. As for me, I still have to sadly go and check the ledgers." Chen Yijun stood up after finishing a cup of tea, and accidentally, a ledger fell to the ground.

Tube Core quickly picked it up, glanced at it, paused for a moment, and handed it to Chen Yijun.

"Thanks, little girl." Chen Yijun smiled and accepted it.

"Uncle Chen, I think there's something wrong with this ledger."

Guan Xin whispered, "Page 152, expenses, income, and profits are not equal, there is a difference of ten copper coins."

"The numbers are too strange."

Chen Yijun became interested and immediately looked over. After doing some mental calculations, he slowly said, "You noticed such a small difference in just one glance?"

Tube Core nodded, somewhat nervously: "Did I see wrong?"

"No, that's right." Chen Yijun's face was full of bright smiles. "Let Tuantuan treat you to some snacks!"

With that, he hurriedly went back to his own courtyard.

Tube Core paused for a moment, then looked at Bai Tuantuan with a puzzled expression.

"Are you good with numbers?" Bai Tuantuan asked curiously.

Guan Xin nodded: "Yes, the teacher once said that, but because I was praised and suffered more, I stopped talking about it."

Bai Tuantuan understood: "How about this, you help me look at the ledgers, and I'll pay you for your work?"

Tuo Xin quickly waved his hand: "You saved me, I should repay you. I don't need the wages, I can help you with the accounts."

"That might not work," Bai Tuantuan said with a smile. "Although I like money, I can't skimp on my employees' earnings. I'll have Huang Lian bring you the ledgers later, and you can take your time to look at them."

Huang Lian laughed out loud: "That's great, I finally don't have to look at those densely packed numbers anymore."

"Alright, you should take your medicine and rest." After shooing the three away, Bai Tuantuan decided to sleep at the Chen family's house as well.

"You treat just anyone as a friend? Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?" Tangshao muttered, munching on an apple and watching Bai Tuantuan enter the space to cultivate.

Before Bai Tuantuan could reply, the iron pot poked the soup spoon's forehead. [Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating. I told you to use your brain, but you just sleep. She can see the purity of a person's soul, so naturally she knows who's good and who's bad.]

"But checking the purity of a soul takes a lot of effort. Is she really that generous?" Tangshao rubbed his forehead and complained softly.

The iron pot froze, then nervously touched its nose. [How did you suddenly become so smart? Have you finally figured it out?]
