"Why are you so unmodest?" Chen Xiaoran withdrew his hand, chuckled, and looked at Xiao Tuantuan beside him. His smug expression made people smile.
Xiao Tuantuan winked mischievously: "Hehe, Uncle, I'm just comforting Grandma! The storybooks say that doctors have to boast about their medical skills so that patients can feel at ease."
"There are such stories?" Chen Xiaoran smiled and stood up. "Madam Bai's poison has indeed eroded her heart meridian; she has at most one month to live."
"What?" Bai Hanri exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be? The imperial physician clearly said there were still five years left..."
"If it were only nine kinds of poison, with medicine to suppress them, one could naturally live for five years. However, Madam Bai has been poisoned by a new poison, which occurred about ten days ago."
Feng Yue withdrew her hand and said calmly, "The capital city is indeed a place of trouble."
Ten days ago?
Bai Haotian frowned: "I sent a letter back to inform you of the day my mother departed."
The Bai family members exchanged glances, and they all knew the answer in their hearts.
Old Bai remained silent for a moment, then his aged voice rang out: "Does anyone have a solution?"
“Indeed, there wasn’t one before.” Chen Xiaoran took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket. “You’ve come at just the right time. Tuantuan has developed the Hundred Poison Pill, which can cure all poisons.”
Everyone quickly looked at Xiao Tuantuan, who chuckled, "I told you! With me here, there won't be any problems!"
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely be able to save you." Xiao Tuantuan took the porcelain bottle and fed a pill to Madam Bai.
She added water from her spatial dimension to the pill, which is why it was able to cure all poisons.
After taking the medicine, Madam Bai fell asleep.
As everyone walked out of the room, they saw Chen Zhixiu placing the prepared snacks on the table.
"You're out now, why don't you eat something first?" Chen Zhixiu straightened up, turned around, and said with a smile.
"She looks just like my mother..." Bai Hanri exclaimed.
Bai Ze took a step forward, opened his mouth, but he, who could debate with a group of scholars in the imperial court, could not utter a single word.
Bai Haotian quickly said, "This is my elder brother."
Chen Zhixiu nodded: "Big..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ze stepped forward and hugged Chen Zhixiu.
"Big brother?" Chen Zhixiu called softly. Thinking of what Bai Haotian had said, Bai Zeyi had been blaming himself all these years, so she hugged him back. "Big brother, I'm doing well. I haven't suffered."
Bai Ze closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I've finally found you."
"Big brother, let me hug you! Let me hug you!" Bai Hanri immediately shouted, "This is my sister too!"
Bai Yuanzhi stepped forward and said, "That's enough, it's my turn."
Chen Zhixiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Helpless, Bai Ze released Chen Zhixiu and turned his head away.
Xiao Tuantuan saw the tears in Bai Ze's eyes, and then secretly looked at Bai Lao, seeing him standing there, wanting to go forward but not daring to.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhixiu had already started chatting with each of her brothers.
"Grandpa, don't you miss my mom?" Xiao Tuantuan tilted her head and whispered, "If you don't go over soon, my uncles will take her away!"
Hearing Xiao Tuantuan's childish words, Old Bai couldn't help but smile and rubbed Xiao Tuantuan's head: "Your uncles also miss your mother very much."
Chen Zhixiu raised her head and looked at the old man beside Xiao Tuantuan. For some reason, scenes from her childhood seemed to appear in her mind. Compared to her mother, her father spoiled and loved her more...
"Father..."
Chen Zhixiu blurted it out, then froze in shock.
Old Bai's body trembled.
"Father..." Chen Zhixiu ran two steps and hugged Old Man Bai's body, "Father..."
Chen Luo, Feng Yue, and the others stepped back, leaving space for the Bai family.
"We've finally found her...we've found her!" Old Bai held back his tears, hugging Chen Zhixiu as if afraid she would disappear.
After the Bai family members calmed down, they began to sit together and chat.
The Bai family felt very uncomfortable eating the snacks prepared by Chen Zhixiu.
If Chen Zhixiu hadn't been abandoned, she would have been a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger in the kitchen, so how could she have cooked so skillfully...
"So, our Tuantuan has rearranged the order of our uncles?" Old Bai stroked his beard and said with a smile, "That's good, the Chen and Bai families should be one family."
Chen Luo and Feng Yue's humble yet assertive demeanor won the favor of the Bai family. Furthermore, their act of saving Chen Zhixiu and then Old Madam Bai made them great benefactors to the Bai family!
"The name Xiu'er is good; she'll be Xiu'er from now on," Old Bai decided. "As for Tuantuan, how about renaming her Bai Tuantuan?"
Xiao Tuantuan, or rather, Bai Tuantuan in the future, smiled with narrowed eyes: "Okay!"
The meal was exceptionally warm and comforting.
The Bai family, weary from their journey, went to rest in the neighboring courtyard, arranged by the Chen family.
Old Bai stayed in the room next to Chen Zhixiu's.
After finishing her work, Chen Zhixiu went into Madam Bai's room. Looking at Madam Bai lying on the bed, Chen Zhixiu sat down beside her and sighed softly.
She never imagined that she was actually the daughter of the Bai family.
The Bai family from her past life probably never found her; they must be heartbroken...
Fortunately, God took pity on her and gave her a chance.
It wasn't until evening that Madam Bai and Chen Zhixiu came out of their room.
Both of their eyes were red, clearly they had been crying.
After spending an afternoon together, the Bai and Chen families found that they got along very well, especially Chen Luo and Old Man Bai. When they played chess, they would regret every move they made, and they spent the whole afternoon playing a game of chess!
It was noisy and bustling.
"Wait... no, Grandmother!" Bai Tuantuan ran over and checked the old lady's pulse. "It's alright! Take one Hundred Poison Pill every day for thirty days, and the poison in your body will be gone!"
Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Tuantuan with great affection: "Thank you, Tuantuan..."
Clearly, Chen Zhixiu had already told everything to Old Madam Bai, so it was not surprising at all that Bai Tuantuan called her "Grandmother".
The next day, Bai Tuantuan walked at the front with her bag on her back, her little face looking miserable.
She never expected that her seven uncles would fight over sending her to school!
It was only a few steps away, but I insisted on carrying her. Luckily, she ran fast!
Chen Zhixiu also had the same troubles.
She was just selling snacks, but her seven older brothers kept crowding around her stall, causing many customers to stop buying snacks!
It wasn't until three days later that the Bai family calmed down a bit.
"Fourth brother, you're a high-ranking official in the capital, you should set off." Chen Xiaoran picked up his teacup, glared at Bai Zeyi, and said through gritted teeth.
In all these days, he only exchanged two words with Xiu'er!
He needs to get these people out of here quickly!
Bai Ze put down his teacup, lost in thought: "Brother is right. I should write a memorial to the Emperor. Being a local official wouldn't be bad."
Chen Xiaoran: ...
A second-rank official wants to be a prefect? Is he crazy?!
"Hanri and I had nothing else to do, so we stayed at the Chen family's house. I hope our eldest, second, and third brothers won't look down on us?" Bai Yuanzhi raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
Chen Yijun's lips twitched: "You guys are really shameless!"
"I don't believe the Emperor would let you stay in Fenghua Town. I even saw Uncle Bai packing his things during the day," Chen Wenxiu said slowly, clearly not believing their nonsense.
Bai Haotian nodded: "Yes, my dad is indeed packing his things. He bought the yard next door and said he wants to live here for a long time."
The three Chen brothers: ? ? ?
