Wang Jia's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Suppressing her anger, she forced a smile back onto her face: "Sister Chaohua, what's wrong?"

As she spoke, Wang Jia stepped forward and took Ren Chaohua's hand: "Sister Chaohua, are you having some trouble adjusting because you're getting married? I heard from my father that you're going to the capital and don't know when you'll be back, so I came to see you off."

"Sister Chaohua, you have a straightforward personality. After you get married, you'll have to change your temper. After all, you're marrying the Second Prince. It wouldn't be good if you made any mistakes or opposed the Second Prince."

After saying this, Wang Jia looked at Mu Yangzhi and showed an understanding smile: "I really envy Sister Chaohua for having such a good husband. I'm afraid I don't have that blessing."

“Yes, you’re right.” Ren Chaohua nodded. “You’re not as lucky as me, so it’s normal that you don’t have this blessing.”

Wang Jia instantly looked aggrieved: "How could Sister Chaohua curse me like that? What did I do to offend Sister Chaohua..."

"Can't you speak normally?" Ren Chaohua looked at Wang Jia irritably. "Also, can you leave now that you're done talking? Our relationship isn't at that level yet."

“Chaohua.” Mu Yangzhi spoke up, looking at the aggrieved Wang Jia, and said slowly, “Don’t feel aggrieved. Even if you are so lucky, I wouldn’t be interested in someone like you.”

"Furthermore, my princess consort doesn't need to be trembling with fear. She can do whatever she wants, even if she causes a major upheaval, I can handle it. And if all else fails, there's always my imperial brother. What's there to be afraid of?"

"And your voice, can you even speak normally?"

Wang Jia looked at Mu Yangzhi in shock, and hearing his insulting words, she really cried this time. She quickly got into the carriage and left!

Seeing this, Mu Yangzhi shook his head: "Chaohua, what kind of friend is this? Don't forget to come again. She's trying to sow discord between us!"

Ren Chaohua couldn't help but laugh: "You're different from them. When Wang Jia used to talk like that, those people would always blame me, but you..."

"Of course not! Your husband can see through everything, and Tuantuan also said that this kind of person is a green tea b*tch! Her heart is black! Don't worry, I will only believe your words, and other people are none of my business!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Chaohua's smile grew even brighter.

That very night, the group headed towards the capital.

At the same time, Zhao Quanchun also sent a letter to the capital.

"Sir, will the higher-ups blame us?" The steward cautiously looked at Xiao Ruyan, who lay motionless on the ground, and asked in a low voice, "How did she die...?"

Zhao Quanchun glanced at Xiao Ruyan's corpse with a cold expression and said indifferently, "Just throw her into a mass grave."

"The people above won't blame you, so don't worry."

As he spoke, Zhao Quanchun walked out, and after reaching the backyard, he slowly said, "Perhaps, we will even be blessed because of this."

The butler was puzzled by this, but did not ask any further questions.

Ten days later, late one night, Bai Tuantuan, Bai Han, and Chen Luo arrived in the capital.

Bai Tuantuan stuffed Bai Han and Chen Luo into her spatial dimension, then used an invisibility talisman to head towards the Bai family.

Chen Luo and Bai Han looked at each other in the space, somewhat at a loss, until they saw the soup ladle and the iron pot.

"Grandpas, don't be afraid. This is Tuantuan's secret base. You can eat the drinks and snacks here; they're good for your health." Tangshao came over with snacks and fruit, gestured for the two elders to sit down, and handed them the items.

“Here…” Bai Han frowned and sniffed hard. “This fragrance seems familiar.”

Iron Pot smiled and said, "The food is the same as what Tuantuan usually makes for you, but it's a bit richer here."

Bai Han and Chen Luo exchanged a glance, then quickly picked up the fruit and started eating.

Sure enough, after eating one, all my fatigue vanished!

Tie Guo then brought over some clothes and handed them to the two men: "If you two grandfathers have nothing else to do, you can go and soak in the spiritual spring pool next door."

As he spoke, the iron pot and soup ladle disappeared.

Bai Han and Chen Luo couldn't wait to get into the water. Little did they know, the water in the spiritual spring was slowly healing their old man...

At this moment, Bai Tuantuan had arrived at the Bai family's door. Looking around, she could sense many presences.

Bai Tuantuan curled her lips, turned and left the Bai family, heading straight for Mu Yangrun's residence.

At this moment, Mu Yangrun was in his study discussing the next steps with his confidants. After finalizing the plan, Mu Yangrun went directly to the palace.

Bai Tuantuan followed him inside, and soon they arrived at the Empress's palace in the inner palace.

At this time, the Empress had already come out of the Cold Palace and was enjoying the services of the palace maids. Beside her were Mu Yangwei, Bai Zeyi and Bai Haotian, as well as Chen Junfeng and Chen Lingfeng.

"Run'er."

Upon seeing Mu Yangrun, the Empress quickly stood up: "You've finally arrived. This can't go on like this. Have you thought of a solution?"

The Empress glanced at them and then asked in a low voice.

Mu Yangrun walked up to Mu Yangwei and saw that he showed no sign of nervousness or fear. A surge of anger welled up in her heart, and she raised her hand and slapped him across the face!

"Smack!"

Mu Yangwei looked up at Mu Yangrun and sneered, "Mu Yangrun, with your behavior, aren't you really afraid that Father will come back and settle accounts with you?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Mu Yangrun laughed loudly: "I say, Crown Prince! You probably haven't grasped the current situation yet! Father? Will Father come back alive?"

"I am the true ruler of the world; I have merely taken this position ahead of time."

"Just you wait, I won't kill you. I'll let you see with your own eyes the moment I ascend to that position! Hahaha!"

Mu Yangwei sneered a few times, then turned to look at the Empress: "In Mother's heart, there is only one son, Mu Yangrun?"

The Empress was slightly taken aback, then said, "You can't blame me. Since you're not close to me, I'll naturally stand behind Run'er!"

"Not close? Why not? Does Mother not understand?"

"He is the son you carried for ten months and gave birth to, am I not?"

“From childhood to adulthood, I don’t know where I am inferior to him, that makes you dislike me so much, Mother.”

As he spoke, Mu Yangwei stood up. Although his hands were still bound, they could not withstand the aura emanating from him: "Mu Yangrun, don't blame me for not warning you. If you continue like this and don't stop, even a god can't save you."

"Hahaha!" Mu Yangrun looked at Mu Yangwei mockingly, "I think you should think about how to survive! But I promised you I wouldn't kill you, and I won't, but the Bai family..."

Mu Yangrun shifted his gaze to Bai Ze and the others: "Today, they must die!"
