Mu Jinnian slammed his fist on the table and stood up, scattering black and white chess pieces all over the floor.

"How dare she touch my sister! I'll arrest her right now."

Mu Jinnian roared and strode towards the door.

Mu Ran was startled and quickly stood at the door, blocking his way.

They went directly to confront Madam Bai.

Mu Ran felt that this was not a good idea.

Mu Jinyi also stood up to stop him.

"Fourth brother, calm down, don't be too reckless."

Mu Jinnian roared, "She tried to drug my sister, how can I stay calm?!"

The veins on his neck bulged, and his eyes were filled with a chilling ferocity.

This was the first time the little boy had seen his brother look so scary, and he nervously clasped his little hands together.

Mu Jinxuan pulled her head into his arms and placed it against his chest, soothing her gently in a soft voice:

"Your fourth brother is just too angry, don't be afraid."

"Your brothers are here to help; they won't let anyone hurt you."

After saying that, Mu Jinxuan then said to Mu Jinnian:

"It's pointless to use force against this kind of person; we should let her suffer the consequences of her own actions to truly vent our anger."

Mu Jinxuan spoke calmly, but the underlying meaning of his words carried a faint sense of fear.

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinyi and Mu Jinxuan exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts without saying a word.

Seeing her two older brothers' mischievous expressions, Mu Jinnian asked curiously:

"Have you already come up with a way to deal with Madam Bai?"

Mu Jinxuan peeled a lychee and put it in the little dumpling's mouth.

"Tuan'er, have you ever seen a play?"

The little dumpling ate the sweet lychee, shook its head blankly, then nodded after thinking for a moment.

"I haven't seen the play, but Brother Little Wolf has told me a lot about the scripts."

Mu Jinnian chuckled. Of course! He still remembered that they were talking about all sorts of random plays.

Mu Jinxuan pinched the little dumpling's cheek and said, "Then next, you'll have to act out a play with your brothers."

Upon hearing about acting, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he looked at his three older brothers with anticipation.

...

As night fell, Madam Bai sat in the pavilion, brewing tea and enjoying the night view, when a panicked voice shattered the tranquility.

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened to Madam Bai!"

Mu Ran ran over, panting heavily, her flushed face filled with helplessness and panic.

Upon seeing Mu Ran, Madam Bai stood up excitedly.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly, is it that girl's problem?"

Mu Ran, panting heavily, picked up a bowl of water and drank it all in one gulp.

“Little dumpling, she… she suddenly started having convulsions three days ago.”

"Then he fell into a coma and hasn't woken up since."

"The Mu family is in complete chaos right now. Your daughter specifically asked me to come here so you can go to the Mu family as soon as possible."

Madam Bai beamed with joy, her delight impossible to conceal.

The medicine was specially made; once dissolved in water, it became colorless and odorless, so even if the imperial physicians examined it, they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

When the drug takes effect, the patient will first convulse, and then fall into a coma.

Those with a slightly worse fate may never wake up.

Those who are lucky enough to wake up will have damaged brains and become mentally impaired.

Even though she had already guessed that the little dumpling was acting this way because of her medicine, Madam Bai still held Mu Ran's hand tightly and asked her for confirmation.

"Did you drug her? Is that why she's acting like this?"

Mu Ran nodded and said softly, "Yes, no one noticed."

Madam Bai burst into laughter, lifted her skirt, and strode forward.

"Hurry, hurry to the Mu family. I really want to see that poor little girl's pitiful state."

When Madam Bai arrived at Xiao Tuanzi's room.

The entire Mu family gathered inside the house, their expressions solemn, a somber atmosphere enveloping the entire family.

Mu Yanxiu lay in Bai Mengyun's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Madam Bai glared at Mu Yanxiu.

Silly girl, why are you crying? You should be happy right now! With this girl dead, you'll get a bigger share of the Mu family's assets!

Madam Bai squeezed to the bedside of the little dumpling.

The once lively and adorable little figure now lies on the bed with its eyes tightly closed, its face pale, and even its lips are bloodless.
