The carriage sped towards Chenjia Village.

Inside the carriage, Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng looked worriedly at Xiao Tuantuan, who remained motionless.

"Brother, what should we do?" Chen Lingfeng asked anxiously. "Will Tuantuan be alright?"

“She’s just worried about her aunt.” Chen Xingfeng frowned. “Father won’t say what happened.”

At this moment, Xiao Tuantuan was lost in memories, her mind filled with the scene of the fire burning Chen Zhixiu.

"Is it my father who has come looking for me?" Xiao Tuantuan came to her senses, tightly gripping Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng's sleeves, her voice trembling as she asked, "Is my father going to kill my mother?"

Chen Xingfeng was taken aback: "Tuantuan, why would your father kill your aunt?"

Xiao Tuantuan shook her head, her brows furrowed.

"arrive!"

As Chen Xiaoran finished speaking, Xiao Tuantuan jumped off the carriage and staggered inside the Chen family home, where oil lamps were lit, shouting, "Mother! Mother! Tuantuan is back! Mother!"

"round and round!"

Feng Yue hugged Xiao Tuantuan tightly, saying, "Don't worry, it's alright, it's alright..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tuantuan felt a slight sense of relief and looked up at Feng Yue: "What happened to my mother?"

Feng Yue led Xiao Tuantuan inside: "Your mother just fell and bumped her head. The doctor has already come to see her."

"mother!"

Xiao Tuantuan ran quickly into the room. Nan Nian and Rong Manli were guarding the bedside. When they saw Xiao Tuantuan, Rong Manli hugged her and said, "Your mother is alright."

Chen Zhixiu lay quietly on the bed, her face pale.

After taking her pulse, Chen Xiaoran breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Mother, what happened? Why did my sister suddenly fall down?"

When asked about the reason, Xiao Tuantuan immediately looked at Feng Yue.

"It's Chen Xue." Nan Nian closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes filled with boundless rage!

"I saw Chen Xue push her sleeve down with my own eyes!"

"Where is she?" Chen Xiaoran's face turned cold.

“She ran away.” A hint of disgust flashed in Nan Nian’s eyes. “A Li and I were worried about Xiu’er, so we went to get a doctor first. When we went to look for her again, she was gone.”

"Why did Chen Xue push her aunt? If it weren't for her aunt, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Chen family anymore." Chen Xingfeng was puzzled. "Doesn't she know that only when her aunt is well can she be well?"

"Hmph! You ungrateful wretch!" Chen Lingfeng said irritably. "You have no conscience!"

While observing Chen Zhixiu, Xiao Tuantuan took her pulse. After confirming that she was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Feng Yue: "Can we still find her?"

“Of course,” Rong Manyi began, “I’ll go find it.”

With that, Rong Manli put Xiao Tuantuan down and quickly walked out.

"Alright, you all go and rest too. I'll stay here and watch over things." Nan Nian said to the three children, "Tuanzi, go to sleep."

Xiao Tuantuan shook her head, sat by the window, and whispered, "Aunt, I want to stay with Mother."

Nan Nian wanted to say something, but Feng Yue interrupted her: "Never mind, she won't be able to sleep peacefully if she doesn't keep an eye on Xiu'er."

"Tuantuan and I will stay here and guard this place," Chen Xiaoran said, frowning, his eyes filled with pity as he looked at Chen Zhixiu.

Nan Nian and Feng Yue nodded and left.

Just as Feng Yue went out, she saw Chen Luo walk in, looking travel-worn.

"how?"

A murderous glint flashed in Chen Luo's eyes: "We've brought him back. Lock him in the woodshed. We'll talk about him when Xiu'er wakes up."

"Uncle, isn't my mother alright? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" An hour later, Xiao Tuantuan couldn't help but ask Chen Xiaoran, who was reading a book beside her, in a low voice.

"Uncle, I felt Mother's pulse, and something feels off. Could you come and take a look?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Xiaoran's eyes. He knew that Xiao Tuantuan was learning medicine with her mother, but it had been too short a time, and he did not expect that she could already feel the pulse.

"Uncle, I just looked at Mother's head, and it seems to have a bruise."

Chen Xiaoran frowned slightly, carefully took Chen Zhixiu's pulse, and then touched her head, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

"Uncle, is there a problem?" Xiao Tuantuan asked cautiously.

“Tuantuan’s diagnosis was correct.” A light appeared in Chen Xiaoran’s eyes. “However, this bruising is normal. He will wake up before dawn.”

"But Tuantuan, tell your uncle, how did you find out?"

Xiao Tuantuan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he woke up, that was all that mattered.

"It was according to what my grandmother taught me." Xiao Tuantuan pondered for a moment before recounting how she took the pulse.

As Xiao Tuantuan narrated, Chen Xiaoran's eyes shone brighter and brighter, and he simply taught Xiao Tuantuan what he had learned.

Xiao Tuantuan stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiaoran with a thirst for knowledge. She discovered that what her uncle was teaching was more profound than what her grandmother had taught.

One was big, and the other was small; they had no books, no paper, and no pens.

When the rooster crowed, Chen Xiaoran felt a little annoyed, realizing he had said too much: "It's okay if you can't remember it, your uncle will teach you again later."

Xiao Tuantuan shook her head and said very seriously, "Uncle, don't worry, Tuantuan has remembered everything."

As Xiao Tuantuan repeated the story, Chen Xiaoran gasped, "What a clever child!"

“Tuantuan… Brother…” Chen Zhixiu’s voice came from the bed.

Xiao Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned her head: "Mom! You're awake!"

Chen Zhixiu propped herself up and reached out to rub Xiao Tuantuan's head: "Don't worry, Mother is fine."

After resting for a morning, Chen Zhixiu was able to get out of bed.

"Let me go! Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me!"

Chen Xue's voice came from outside.

"Let's go take a look," Chen Zhixiu said, and walked out.

Rong Manli grabbed Chen Xue and threw her to the ground. Seeing her disheveled appearance, everyone's expression turned grim.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xue looked at the crowd, trembling.

"Chen Xue, have you lost your conscience?" Nan Nian shouted angrily. "If it weren't for Xiu'er taking you in, you would probably be starving to death by now!"

"But what you've done is worse. Not only are you ungrateful, you've also hurt your sleeve. Do you have any conscience?"

"Pah!" Chen Xue spat and said viciously, "What kind of kind person! She's just a fake benevolent person! If she really cared about me, why didn't she give me the pastry recipe?"

Everyone looked at Chen Xue in disbelief, and Chen Lingfeng blurted out, "Why should I give you my aunt's dessert recipe? Who do you think you are? Even if my aunt were to give it to you, she would only give it to Tuantuan!"

Chen Xue, her neck stiff and utterly unashamed, retorted, "What kind of kindness is this? It's just fake kindness! Knowing I'm short of money, you still won't give me the prescription!"

"Xue'er," Chen Zhixiu said, "I've given you the prescription."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Xiu'er, you gave it to her?" Nan Nian looked at Chen Zhixiu in disbelief. "Why?"

Chen Zhixiu was silent for a while before slowly saying, "She said she was worried about Li Shi and wanted Li Shi to earn some money as well. I took pity on her filial piety and gave her the prescription, but she said I gave her a fake prescription."

At this point, Chen Zhixiu gave a bitter smile: "I wanted to tell her that the prescription was real, but she wouldn't listen to me and knocked me to the ground."

"It's a fake prescription! If it were real, how could you give it to me so easily!" Chen Xue screamed, her eyes filled with madness.

Feng Yue shook her head: "It's hopeless."

Rong Manli frowned deeply: "What you give me easily isn't real? Where did you learn such twisted logic?"

"My mother said it! You all want my mother to make harmful pastries and be locked up in jail!" Chen Xue shouted, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at the Chen family members.

"Smack!"

Xiao Tuantuan rushed over and slapped Chen Xue across the face. Before Chen Xue could react, she kicked her!

"You're such an ingrate! You pushed my mother! You bumped into my mother! I'll beat you to death!"
