Bai Tuantuan looked at her uncles with a smile, which sent a chill down Bai Zeyi and the others' spines, as if something bad was about to happen.
However, now is not the time to dwell on this, since Yuan Chenchen and Feng Yue have already taken them away to reason with them.
Bai Tuantuan stretched and turned around to see Chen Xingfeng waving at him.
"Second Brother?"
"We've finally caught you free! The Second Prince has said he'd treat you to dinner so many times, is today the day?"
Bai Tuantuan glanced at the sky, contacted the iron pot, and learned that Xiang Chaoyang and the others were doing well, so she nodded: "Okay, let's do it now, I'm hungry."
Chen Xingfeng immediately agreed and walked over with Bai Tuantuan.
Outside, Mu Yangzhi and Chen Lingfeng were chatting. When they saw Bai Tuantuan, Mu Yangzhi's eyes lit up: "I've finally waited for you! Come on, let's go eat!"
"Since the Second Prince is treating, don't worry about the money."
Bai Tuantuan winked at Mu Yangzhi, and the four of them headed straight for Erdong Restaurant.
Inside the Er Dong Restaurant, people were coming and going. As soon as the four of them entered, the manager came out and said, "Second Prince, Young Master, Young Miss, this way please."
After going up to the second floor, the shopkeeper said, "Miss has also come, as has the Third Madam of the Prince of Ping's Mansion. Judging from the Third Madam's appearance, I have a feeling that she might be a threat to Miss."
"It's alright." Bai Tuantuan chuckled. "My mother is amazing!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper didn't say anything more, but simply instructed the waiter to stand at the door to prevent any accidents.
Inside the private room, Bai Tuantuan didn't stand on ceremony and ordered a lot of food and drinks. After the food was served, Mu Yangzhi said while eating, "The palace isn't very peaceful these days!"
"How is your mother?" Bai Tuantuan asked Mu Yangzhi while munching on a chicken leg. "Is she still forcing you to compete for the position of Crown Prince?"
Mu Yangzhi's expression darkened, and he responded softly.
Bai Tuantuan was shocked: "Why is that? It's not even a good spot!"
Mu Yangzhi gave a bitter smile: "I don't know either. No matter how I try to persuade you, it's no use."
"Then this is the only way." Bai Tuantuan wiped her mouth and hands, gestured for Mu Yangzhi to come closer, and whispered something in his ear.
Mu Yangzhi was shocked: "Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Bai Tuantuan glanced at Mu Yangzhi. "As a ruler, one should sever all ties of affection and loyalty, and one should not help with the Tong family's affairs either..."
As Bai Tuantuan's voice fell, not only Mu Yangzhi, but also Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng were stunned.
"That's not a bad idea," Chen Lingfeng said thoughtfully.
Chen Xingfeng lowered his head and secretly gave Bai Tuantuan a thumbs up.
Mu Yangzhi's eyes lit up: "Ling Feng said it's possible, and it definitely is! I'll do it! I won't back down!"
Bai Tuantuan was delighted; the atmosphere here was excellent. Meanwhile, in the private room next door, Chen Zhixiu's anger almost extinguished her reason!
Fortunately, she calmed down at the last moment, looked at Madam Liu sipping her tea, and said sarcastically, "I understand what you mean, Third Madam. It seems that your daughter has fallen for Nan Xiao, but Nan Xiao has not taken a liking to your daughter. Nan Xiao and Tuan Tuan are friends. Are you saying that Nan Xiao is not interested in your daughter because of Tuan Tuan?"
"This is the first time I've seen such a reason. What does this have to do with my Tuantuan? Nanxiao doesn't like your daughter, shouldn't you look for the reason within yourself? What does it have to do with my Tuantuan?"
"Furthermore, relationships between men and women should be based on mutual affection. Why must one be fixated on one person? Can't your daughter find someone else?"
Holding her teacup, Liu looked at Chen Zhixiu incredulously: "What do you mean by that?"
"The literal meaning." Chen Zhixiu glanced at Liu Shi leisurely. "Nanxiao doesn't like your daughter, that's Nanxiao's business. Are you going to force Nanxiao to like your daughter? That's fine, but why drag my Tuantuan into Nanxiao and your daughter's affairs? What does it have to do with my Tuantuan?"
"You don't like your daughter, so you blame it on Tuantuan? Madam, you've really opened my eyes."
Liu slammed her teacup on the table. "Princess Lexin, I'm speaking to you so politely, why are you being so aggressive? For the sake of the Bai family, I don't want to say anything too harsh! Bai Tuantuan has been seducing Prince Ning since she was little. Anyone with eyes can see what she's up to! She just wants to marry into the Ning family! Hah, a country bumpkin like her, does she even deserve to marry into the Ning family? What a piece of trash!"
Chen Zhixiu stood up abruptly and went straight to Liu Shi!
"What are you doing?" Liu also stood up and quickly backed away. After exchanging a glance, the maid quickly stepped in front of Liu.
Chen Zhixiu sneered: "Take him down!"
As Chen Zhixiu's voice fell, two men in black suddenly appeared beside her and kicked the maid out, one after the other!
The sound of the maid bumping into the table caught the attention of the waiter outside.
Liu was trembling all over: "You, you, what do you want to do?"
With a creak, the door opened.
"Miss?" the waiter called out, paused for a moment, looked at the two people lying on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright then. I'll keep watch outside and not let anyone in. Please continue."
With that, the waiter closed the door.
Liu stared incredulously at the waiter's retreating figure, opened her mouth, and then regret welled up inside her. She shouldn't have made the appointment at Erdong Restaurant!
Everyone knows that Erdong Restaurant is owned by the Chen family!
Chen Zhixiu withdrew her gaze, stared at Liu Shi for a long while, and then said, "Alright, go and invite Sister Chunhua here."
Liu was somewhat puzzled.
"Sister Chunhua and Brother Chengzu will be here soon. I will have them tell you in person that Mu Xuerou cannot enter the Ning family!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu was shocked, but quickly regained her composure and retorted sarcastically, "Do you think they'll listen to you? So what if you're a princess and Bai Tuantuan is a princess? They're not of royal blood. Do you think the Marquis and his wife will listen to you?"
Chen Zhixiu sat down: "Whether you listen or not, you'll find out in a bit."
The two maids got up from the ground and stood silently behind Liu.
After finishing her tea, Du Chunhua's voice came: "If you ask me, that brat Nan Xiao needs to be disciplined! He actually dared to bully my sister! If all else fails, make that brat get married soon!"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Ning Chengzhu's aggrieved voice came from behind. "But the Bai family won't agree! That kid is stupid and didn't inherit any of my traits. He can't even catch up with a wife! I only think Tuantuan is good, so I want Tuantuan to be my daughter-in-law!"
Du Chunhua's eyes lit up: "Your idea coincides with mine!"
"Hehehe, of course, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter our Ning family. But if the Bai family won't let him go, Nanxiao can just marry into the family!"
"That's what I think too!"
The two chatted as they reached the door.
As soon as she entered, Du Chunhua's smile vanished, and she went straight to Chen Zhixiu's side: "What happened? I heard someone bullied you? Who dared to do that? Do they think I, Du Chunhua, am someone to be trifled with?"
