After hitting the spoon, Bai Tuan Tuan felt refreshed!
After everyone finished their meal, they saw Bai Haotian off.
As evening fell, Bai Ze and his group were also heading back to the capital.
"Go ahead, your parents are taken care of," Feng Yue said with a smile. "Don't worry."
Bai Ze and the others bowed and thanked her, then looked at Chen Zhixiu, only to see that she had a gentle smile on her face, just like when she was a child.
"Brothers, don't worry, I will take good care of Father and Mother."
"If anything happens, just write to me."
"We're here too!" Bai Hanri and Bai Yuanzhi quickly said.
After chatting for a while, the group watched the others leave, and the mansion suddenly felt much emptier.
"I'm not used to it now that this person is gone."
Feng Yue sighed, "It's always more lively with more people."
Old Madam Bai laughed: "When we go to the capital together in the future, I guarantee you'll be bothered every day!"
Feng Yue shook her head: "The capital is not a place we can stay."
Fortunately, the presence of the Bai brothers, Bai Tuantuan and Chen Lingfeng, quickly eased the sadness of the Bai family's departure.
That evening, Bai Tuantuan went to Chen Luo's place to practice boxing as usual, but as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she noticed something was wrong.
"Grandfather?"
Chen Luo ruffled Bai Tuantuan's head: "Today, we're going to have a real battle! Tuantuan, are you ready?"
Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded.
Soon, a man in black jumped down.
Without saying a word, Bai Tuantuan rushed forward, startling both the man in black and Chen Luo!
"careful!"
Bai Tuantuan had zero combat experience, so she easily revealed her weaknesses. Fortunately, with Chen Luo's help, the men in black couldn't touch Bai Tuantuan at all.
At this moment, the man in black was cursing under his breath!
He knew he couldn't beat Chen Luo and wanted to leave, but Chen Luo forced him to go back!
"I'll spend some quality time practicing with my granddaughter."
The man in black staggered back a few steps, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Chen Luo: "You've gone too far!"
"What you're saying is interesting." Bai Tuantuan stopped, slightly out of breath. "You were the one who came to kill me, and you're blaming us for being too much? That's unreasonable!"
The man in black looked warily at the little child in front of him. He never imagined that a child could fight him!
"Come on! Keep going!" Bai Tuantuan said as she rushed over!
The man in black had no choice but to draw his knife to block. After a few exchanges, he realized that the old man would intervene whenever he was about to stab the child in a vital spot.
He also discovered that the old man's martial arts skills were far beyond his own.
"Ouch!" Bai Tuantuan was completely exhausted and plopped down on the ground, waving her hands. "I'm not fighting anymore! Grandpa, Tuantuan can't fight anymore..."
Before the man in black could react, he felt himself being lifted into the air and thrown out. The intense pain almost made him faint.
Chen Luo picked up Bai Tuantuan, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"So happy." Bai Tuantuan took Chen Luo's hand and gulped down the water in the kettle.
The little tongue licked its lips, looking like it hadn't had enough: "Grandpa, so this is what it feels like to fight with someone. You can get hurt if you're not careful."
Chen Luo's eyes were full of admiration: "Yes, that's why you have to be careful when you're out in the world."
"Alright, that's enough for today. Go and get some rest."
As Chen Luo spoke, he put Bai Tuantuan down and gestured for her to go back to her room.
However, Bai Tuantuan tugged at Chen Luo's sleeve: "Grandfather, I want to know who wants to kill me. I'm just a child, I have no enemies!"
"Besides, I don't think it's my cheap father. My cheap father wouldn't send someone with such low martial arts skills."
Chen Luo nodded: "No rush, Grandfather will find out the truth."
Bai Tuantuan then responded, yawning as she went back to her room.
Meanwhile, in a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain.
Li Fan looked at the letter in his hand, his brows furrowed deeply: "Lord Xiao has sent a letter, urging us to deal with the Chen family as soon as possible."
"Hmm." The man with the large mole wiped his knife and said calmly, "I'll make my move tomorrow night."
"Come on!" Li Fan looked at the big black mole with annoyance. "How many times have you gone out these days? Have you succeeded even once?"
“No.” The man with the large mole looked up. “I didn’t expect they knew people from the Fengyue Pavilion.”
"With the people from Fengyue Pavilion as witnesses, we can't hurt them."
After burning the letter, Li Fan said irritably, "I don't know why Lord Xiao wanted to execute Chen Zhixiu and Xiao Tuantuan. They were powerless and posed no threat to Lord Xiao."
“It’s Madam Xiao.” The man with the large mole said in a calm tone, “Madam Xiao already harbors resentment because of them. Now that Lord Xiao is being promoted, she naturally wants to make Madam Xiao happy in order to get her father-in-law’s help.”
"Women are just a nuisance." A hint of disgust flashed in Li Fan's eyes, and he said no more.
The next day at noon, after Bai Tuantuan woke up, Nan Nian and Rong Manli dragged her to buy jewelry.
“A new jade shop has opened in town. The items inside are from foreign lands and are exceptionally beautiful,” Nan Nian said with a smile. “Especially that seven-colored pearl. I think it suits Tuan Tuan perfectly. Let’s buy it today.”
Chen Zhixiu chuckled and took out some silver and placed it on Bai Tuantuan: "If there's anything you want, buy it yourself. Your aunt and uncle's money should be saved for your two older brothers to get married."
"Sleeve, don't worry, we've already saved up the money for your nephew's wedding." Nan Nian said with a smile. "Alright, you can set up your stall today. Remember to do it right in front of Er Dong Restaurant. Don't go too far. We'll come find you after we've finished shopping."
Chen Zhixiu responded and watched the three leave before preparing her stall items.
"Wow, so many people!" Bai Tuantuan exclaimed as she looked at the crowd. "Auntie, Auntie, I saw my friend!"
"Okay, then go explore by yourself. Your second aunt and I will wait for you on the second floor."
After exchanging a few words with the waiter beside her, Nan Nian went upstairs with Rong Manli.
Bai Tuantuan ran happily to He Lin's side. He Lin was also very happy to see Bai Tuantuan: "I also heard that a Jade Pavilion opened. My mother asked me to buy some things I like. Tuantuan, did you come alone?"
"No, my aunt and the others are on the second floor." Bai Tuantuan was overwhelmed by the sights. "Look, this is perfect for you!"
As she spoke, Bai Tuantuan reached for the white pearl hairpin, but someone was faster than her!
"This looks good, I'll buy it!"
Zhou Rubao's voice made the two of them look up at the same time, only to see her haughtily raise her chin, glance at them sideways, and scoff: "Can you two afford it?"
"If you can't afford it, don't touch it. If it gets damaged, even if you go bankrupt, you still won't be able to afford to pay for it!"
Zhou Rubao snorted coldly, looking at the two of them with mockery.
He Lin was speechless, but not wanting to have a conflict with Zhou Rubao, she said, "Let's go look somewhere else."
"This Jade Pavilion isn't a place just anyone can come in. Waiter, throw them out!"
Zhou Rubao's suddenly raised voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Jade Pavilion is a foreign land; even a simple hairpin ornament costs a hundred taels of silver. What are people who can't afford it doing here? If they break something, can they afford to pay for it?"
Some ordinary people who had come to watch the spectacle lowered their heads, their faces burning with embarrassment.
Bai Tuantuan chuckled softly, her delicate voice ringing out, "Does this Jade Pavilion belong to your family?"
Zhou Rubao frowned: "Of course not, but..."
"What's it to you?"
Bai Tuantuan interrupted Zhou Rubao: "Aren't you being too nosy?"
