Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, looked at Bai Han, then scoffed and slowly said, "Grandpa Bai has quite the shrewd plan!"
"But Grandpa Bai has probably miscalculated this time. The Emperor is tired of me, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Fenghua Town. So, I'm afraid I can't protect your granddaughter."
"Young Master Ning, do not underestimate yourself," Bai Han said with a smile. "You should understand His Majesty's good intentions."
Ning Nanxiao pursed her lips and said no more.
"Nanxiao, you're really not being fair!" Chen Lingfeng nudged Ning Nanxiao. "Now that you're the heir apparent, you'll be our protector when we go to the capital!"
Ning Nanxiao sighed: "Don't listen to Grandpa Bai's nonsense. I've already been banished to the Cold Palace by the Emperor."
"Why is that?" Chen Xingfeng asked, puzzled.
"It must be because he speaks rudely," Bai Tuantuan said with a smile.
"Tsk." Ning Nanxiao glanced at Bai Tuantuan, "Don't beg me for help in the future."
Bai Tuantuan snorted and turned her head away haughtily: "Who's begging whom! I won't beg you!"
Ning Nanxiao had just opened his mouth when he heard Bai Tuantuan say, "I'll have my second brother beg you then."
Chen Lingfeng: "Thank you so much, Tuantuan!"
Several people burst out laughing.
After chatting for a while, Rong Manli came out covered in blood: "If Xiu'er wants to go back to the Xiao family, she must be careful of Zheng Fangyu."
Seeing Rong Manli's serious expression, Old Madam Bai quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
“On the surface, Xiao Guangyuan found those two people, but in reality, Zheng Fangyu secretly found them and put them in front of Xiao Guangyuan.” Rong Manli paused for a moment before continuing, “As early as the day Xiao Guangyuan passed the imperial examination and paraded through the streets as the top scholar, Zheng Fangyu already knew that he had a wife and children.”
"After the marriage, Zheng Fangyu deliberately tempted Xiao Guangyuan with a promotion and told him her bottom line, which led Xiao Guangyuan to kill Xiu'er and Tuantuan."
"It can only be said that these two are birds of a feather, but Zheng Fangyu's thoughts are even more profound."
Rong Manli's words made Feng Yue even more worried.
"I'm going to change my clothes first." With that, Rong Manli walked out.
"Bang!" Feng Yue slammed her hand on the table. "I'm worried about us going to the capital together."
“Okay.” Chen Luo agreed. “Before we go to the capital, there is one more thing we need to do.”
Bai Han nodded: "Yes, once the three Xiao Ran brothers return, we can hold the family reunion ceremony."
"I've already redeemed the book for you." The sound of a ladle came from behind. Bai Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and then she deliberately yawned.
"I'm sleepy..."
"Then Tuantuan should go and rest first," said Madam Bai quickly.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Bai Tuantuan quickly returned to her room.
Ning Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling sleepy?
Something just doesn't feel right.
As soon as Bai Tuantuan returned to her room, her soul entered the space. Looking at a pile of books about the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, she immediately opened the first one.
No one can help her with this; she can only rely on her own understanding.
To Bai Tuantuan's surprise, she thought she wouldn't understand it, but once the words entered her mind, she quickly grasped their meaning.
"I'm such a genius!" Bai Tuantuan couldn't help but exclaim.
The soup spoon lay beneath the big tree, pursing its lips and muttering under its breath, "What genius! How could something so ingrained in your soul possibly forget..."
"Thump!"
A series of noises interrupted Bai Tuantuan's studies.
Bai Tuantuan looked up in confusion, and saw a pot bigger than herself standing in front of her: "Wow! What a huge pot!"
[Brother Pot! Brother Pot is out!] The ladle ran over quickly, touching this and that, its face full of excitement.
After glancing at it, Bai Tuantuan turned her attention back to the books.
"Mother..." After an unknown amount of time, when Bai Tuantuan opened her eyes, she saw everyone gathered around her.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was awake.
"Why did you sleep for so long?" Chen Zhixiu wiped her red eyes, feeling helpless. "It's already evening."
Bai Tuantuan scrambled to her feet and looked at Feng Yue, asking, "Grandmother, have you heard anything from Uncle and the others?"
Feng Yue sighed: "Not yet."
"Let me calculate!" Bai Tuantuan said, looking at Chen Zhixiu. "Mother, give me three copper coins."
Although Chen Zhixiu was puzzled, she still gave Bai Tuantuan three.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Bai Tuantuan toss three copper coins into the air.
“Our Tuantuan woke up from a nap and became a little charlatan.”
As they talked, everyone dispersed.
Ning Nanxiao crossed his arms and looked at Bai Tuantuan with curiosity. Seeing that the sweat on her forehead was getting thicker and thicker, he immediately became serious, took a step forward, and dared not disturb her.
"ah!"
Bai Tuantuan let out a soft cry, looked at the three copper coins, and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "So tired..."
Ning Nanxiao asked in confusion, "May I take a look?"
Bai Tuantuan nodded: "You see for yourself, I'm going to find my grandfather." With that, she ran out.
Ning Nanxiao picked up three copper coins and tossed them into the air like Bai Tuantuan. Hearing the crisp sound, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
So, why does Bai Tuantuan feel so much pain?
"He's in the south! In the south!" Bai Tuantuan tugged at Chen Luo's sleeve, saying repeatedly, "Sixth Uncle is in the south! Grandfather, can you ask my eldest uncle and the others to look in the south?"
Chen Luo was taken aback, then said, "Don't even mention the south, your uncle and the others have searched all over the place, but there's no sign of Haotian at the bottom of the cliff."
Bai Tuantuan shook her head, her face full of seriousness: "No, it must be in the south!"
Seeing Bai Tuantuan's unusual seriousness, and thinking of the endless food, Chen Luo immediately stood up: "Alright, Grandfather will go and inform your eldest uncle and the others."
Watching Chen Luo's departing figure, Bai Tuantuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then picked up her medicine box and went out.
She has not forgotten these disaster victims.
Fortunately, with Feng Yue's help, everything that could be treated was treated.
Late at night, Bai Tuantuan woke up from the cold. Looking at the vast expanse of white outside, she frowned deeply: "With such heavy snow, will my uncles be able to find us?"
Below the cliff, the three Chen brothers continued walking south. The snow had reached their calves, making each step extremely difficult.
"Big brother, are we still going?" Chen Wenxiu looked behind him, where there was no end in sight, and their footprints had been covered by the new snow.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiaoran nodded: "Let's keep going."
As dawn broke, Chen Yijun plopped down, saying, "I can't take it anymore, I really..."
"What is that?"
Chen Yijun quickly stood up and frantically rummaged through the items under his buttocks.
When they saw the familiar face, the three were shocked – it was Bai Haotian!
They actually found it!
"Using vital energy for fortune telling, I thought it would take you a long time to master it," Tangshao said thoughtfully.
Bai Tuantuan sat at the table, resting her chin on her hands and swinging her chubby little legs: "Don't be envious, after all, I'm a genius."
