Granny Bai was startled and quickly hugged Bai Tuantuan, saying, "Young Miss, you mustn't say such things."

Bai Tuantuan covered her mouth, her eyes crinkling into a smile: "I know, Granny."

After a pause, Bai Tuantuan said, "Granny, we're going in."

Just as Bai Tuantuan lifted the curtain to go in, she heard Chen Zhixiu's accusatory voice.

“Mother, I have never wronged you, yet you treat me like dirt. Fine.” Chen Zhixiu took a deep breath and said slowly, “Since that’s the case, then I will take the letter of divorce as real. From now on, I am no longer a woman of the Xiao family!”

"Mother!" Bai Tuantuan rushed over and hugged Chen Zhixiu. "Waaah, Mother, we finally found Father, are we leaving again? Mother..."

Chen Zhixiu felt a slight pang in her heart. She squatted down, looking at the tears on Bai Tuantuan's face, wondering if Tuantuan was reluctant to leave, after all, she had been reborn. But Tuantuan wasn't; she still wanted her father, didn't she...?

Seeing Chen Zhixiu's hesitant expression, Bai Tuantuan quickly whispered in Chen Zhixiu's ear, "Mommy, it's acting!"

Chen Zhixiu was stunned. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Bai Tuantuan's cunning look, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

But now was clearly not the time to think about that. Chen Zhixiu quickly realized what was happening, grabbed Bai Tuantuan, and tried to lift her up, but...

"Mommy, I've gotten fat..." Bai Tuantuan looked guilty.

Chen Zhixiu gritted her teeth, picked up Bai Tuantuan, and said breathlessly, "Since the Xiao family can't tolerate us, then let's leave!"

As he spoke, he turned around and stumbled.

"Waaaaah, Mother, I'll go with you..." Bai Tuantuan took the opportunity to get off Chen Zhixiu, grabbed Chen Zhixiu's hand, and ran straight out, shouting loudly as she ran, "Waaaaah, Granny Bai, Sister Ruotang, Father and Grandmother don't want me anymore, they want my mother to be a concubine, waaaaah!"

Granny Bai and Ruotang quickly exchanged a glance, immediately understanding their masters' meaning, and also shouted loudly.

"The Xiao family wants the princess to be their concubine! The Xiao family cannot tolerate the princess!"

Not to mention Old Mrs. Xiao, even Xiao Guangyuan was dumbfounded.

In his opinion, even if Chen Zhixiu disagreed, it would only be a little tantrum, which he could easily appease. Why did she go straight back to her parents' home and cause such a scene?

"Yuan'er, this, this, this, Chen Zhixiu, could she really have given up on you? Look at how she almost fell down in distress just now, and how she couldn't catch her breath. Oh dear, what are we going to do!"

If Bai Tuantuan knew that this was what Grandma Xiao was thinking, she would definitely tell her that it wasn't sadness, but because she was too heavy for her mother to carry...

Xiao Guangyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered his men to give chase!

Meanwhile, Chen Zhixiu and the other three had already boarded the carriage and were heading towards the Bai family.

"Miss and young lady are back!" The butler, with his sharp eyes, quickly called out upon seeing the newcomers.

Ning Nanxiao put down her teacup in the garden and smiled faintly.

Chen Lingfeng gave a thumbs up: "That's amazing! How did you know my aunt and Tuantuan would be back?"

Chen Xingfeng, however, had figured out the intricacies of the situation and slowly said, "Because Aunt and Tuantuan didn't come back for the sake of returning, I'm sure their return has given the people plenty of things to talk about along the way."

In the lobby.

"Father, Mother, Father, Mother, Brothers," Chen Zhixiu called out as she explained her plan, her face beaming with smiles. "Now that the Xiao family can't tolerate me, the news that they want me to be their concubine and slap the Emperor in the face has already spread. I want to see how Xiao Guangyuan will save himself this time!"

"He certainly can't care about me now, after all, the Zheng family will also put pressure on him, let's see who he chooses."

Bai Ze took a sip of tea and said, "He might choose what is advantageous to him, or rather, what can bring him quick gains."

"The Zheng family is, after all, a prominent family. Lord Zheng values ​​his reputation and would never allow Xiao Guangyuan to divorce his wife or get a divorce."

Chen Xiaoran pondered: "So, in order to get Xiao Guangyuan to choose Zheng Fangyu, Lord Zheng will offer him some incentive?"

“Yes,” Bai Haotian replied. “More importantly, Xiao Guangyuan has become Lord Zheng’s confidant over the years and must have been involved in many things. Lord Zheng will not let him go. Even if Lord Zheng is willing, Prince Ping will not be.”

"Xiu'er, what are you thinking?" Feng Yue held Chen Zhixiu's hand tenderly and asked softly.

Everyone's ears perked up; they also wanted to know Chen Zhixiu's decision.

Chen Zhixiu chuckled softly, looked at everyone, and said, word by word, "In my life, Chen Zhixiu, there has been no divorce, no separation, only the loss of a husband!"

"This brother is good at it. I'll go to the Valley of Divine Healers and find some poison for you," Chen Xiaoran chuckled. "A slow-acting poison, tormenting you every day, how about that?"

"Brother, that's too easy on him." Chen Zhixiu looked at Bai Han. "Father, how about we snatch him away from the Zheng family first, so he offends the Zheng family and Prince Ping? Is there a way?"

"Of course." Bai Han stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Let your eldest brother and sixth brother handle it. They've been in the court for so many years, if they can't even do such a small thing, they'd be too useless."

"Dad, how could you be so harsh on me and my older brother!" Bai Haotian grumbled. "I can't reach through with my hands, but my older brother can. He's Xiao Guangyuan's boss, right, older brother?"

Seeing Bai Haotian's grinning face, Bai Ze raised an eyebrow: "As expected, useless."

Bai Haotian glared at Bai Zeyi and whispered, "Give me some face in front of your sister!"

Everyone laughed.

"Then let's arrange it this way. Since Xiu'er wants to do it herself, we'll help her. We can't ruin Xiu'er's plan."

Bai Tuantuan then moved closer to Chen Yijun and Chen Wenxiu and whispered, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, we still need your help..."

"We've already sent people to spread the rumors today. Within an hour, I guarantee that everyone in the capital, young and old, even the dogs guarding the back gate, will know that Xiao Guangyuan abandoned his wife and children and is trying to make the princess his concubine."

Chen Yijun said with a smile, waving his fan.

Chen Wenxiu rubbed Bai Tuantuan's little head: "What does Tuantuan want us to help with?"

Bai Tuantuan's lips twitched, and she took two steps back: "I'm going to find my eldest and second brothers."

When they arrived at the back garden and saw Ning Nanxiao, they were taken aback: "Why are you still in my house?"

"Tuantuan, come quick!" Chen Lingfeng waved and poured her a cup of tea. "How are things? What were you saying inside?"

Bai Tuantuan sighed, rested her chin on her hands, and slowly said, "I won't concern myself with adults' affairs anymore."

[Are you going to ignore it? Even if you wanted to, you wouldn't have a place. Your uncles have already thought of everything you're thinking of, and they've acted on it much faster than you.]

The spoon struck mercilessly.

Bai Tuantuan ignored him and instead looked at Chen Lingfeng, saying, "Let Mom and Uncles handle the adults' matters. As for me, I'll deal with the children's affairs..."

“Xiao Ruyan?” Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow.

Just as Chen Lingfeng was about to ask who it was, he gave Ning Nanxiao a thumbs up: "Amazing!"

Chen Xingfeng pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Ruyan is arrogant and barbaric, so she's easy to deal with. Does Tuantuan want to ruin her reputation?"

"Brother, I have a few ideas; please listen to them."

The white ball looked up at the sky...

[White Dumpling, there's no place for you here, hahaha!] The spoon laughed heartily.

Bai Tuantuan: "Don't mention it, I've already given up!"
