Chapter 90: Lord Bai can't either

Mrs. Zeng suddenly smiled bitterly and shook her head, "What are you kidding me about? I don't have that kind of ability. I'm just a wife of the teacher's family, so I don't have that kind of ability."

Mr. Zeng stretched out his hand across the table to hold her hand, looking at her affectionately,

"Susu, I have made you suffer with me for so many years. If you had not chosen me at that time, the result would have been very different. In my heart... ugh!"

Mrs. Zeng tugged at the corner of her mouth and gave a bitter smile,

"What are you talking about? Since I have chosen you, there is no other possibility. Besides, we agreed at the beginning that no matter what, we would stay together until we grow old together. Why do you always say such things?"

"Oh, I still feel sorry for you." Mr. Zeng looked at her affectionately, and then sighed, "Susu, what do you think I should do about this matter?"

Mrs. Zeng pondered for a while and frowned, "In my opinion, you should discuss it with His Highness the Seventh. He has always been a righteous and upright person, or Mr. Bai too. It is better not to go to the Queen Mother unless it is absolutely necessary."

Speaking of the Queen Mother, Mrs. Zeng seemed to look a little lonely.

Mr. Zeng looked at her and nodded, "Okay, then I will go see Mr. Bai tomorrow. The Queen Mother is in the palace, so it is inconvenient for me to go. I... don't want to see her either."

"After so many years, you should forget what you should forget. After all, she is related to you by blood. Because I have caused your relationship to deteriorate to this point, I feel really bad."

Thinking of what happened in the past, Mrs. Zeng suddenly raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes.

Mr. Zeng hurriedly patted her hand, "It's okay not to mention the past. We are living a good life now. If I hadn't seen that Su Sanya is a sensible child, I really don't want to wade into the muddy waters of the royal family."

The royal family was the last thing he wanted to mention in his life. Except for some elders in the court, no one knew about the affairs between him and the royal family, and he didn't want others to know.

That night, Yuan Min tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, but Doudou slept well next to him. After all, he was a child, and no matter how sleepy he was, nothing could stop him from sleeping.

In the early morning, Doudou Braised Egg Shop was open as usual, but because the shop next door was closed, there were a lot fewer customers, which also made everyone idle and had nothing to do.

Although Ah Qiu had prepared breakfast, everyone sat there blankly and no one moved their chopsticks.

Yuan Min watched everyone put down their chopsticks,

"Everyone, listen to me. Something happened to my third sister, but she will definitely come out, but the time is uncertain, so I decided to leave four people to watch the braised egg shop, and the rest will take turns to take the holidays."

"I'm not leaving, Yuan Min, I have to wait for the lady to come back." Aqiu was the first to shake his head and refuse.

Xiao Wu and A Liang also shook their heads, "We're not leaving either. We have to guard the braised egg shop and wait for the lady to come back."

Seeing this, other people also shook their heads and refused to leave.

Yuan Min looked at them with some relief, "I'm not letting you go, it's a holiday, and your salary will be paid during the holiday. There are seven of you now, and you will be on holiday in two parts. You will come back in three days to replace another person."

Seeing that everyone was silent, he added: "We don't need so many people here now, but I believe that the place will return to normal after the third sister comes back, so you can rest assured that the holiday is only temporary."

After hearing what he said, everyone became silent and nodded in agreement.

So, A Liang, A Wan, Ye Zi and Chrysanthemum became the first people to go home during the vacation.

Although Ah Qiu agreed with Yuan Min's idea, he refused to leave. He had no choice but to let her stay.

After explaining the things at home, Yuan Min and Doudou went to school as usual, because the third sister told them yesterday that they could not delay going to school.

When they arrived at the school, Mr. Zeng was not there. Mrs. Zeng temporarily took on the role of teacher today and led a dozen of their children to read the Book of Songs aloud.

Mr. Zeng came to see Bai Chen early in the morning, which surprised Bai Chen.

Although Bai Chen didn't know Mr. Zeng's identity, his father had long told him that in the capital, anyone could be provoked, just don't provoke Mr. Zeng. However, Mr. Zeng's school has been running quietly for so many years.

, and never caused any trouble to the government.

This was the first time Bai Chen sat face to face with Mr. Zeng.

"Master Bai, I came here today because I have something I want to inquire about."

"Oh? If you have anything to do, just ask Mr. Zeng, Bai will definitely tell you everything."

Mr. Zeng nodded and looked him up and down, "I heard that Mr. Bai ate something bad. How is your health now?"

Hearing what he said, Bai Chen smiled bitterly and raised his hand to rub his belly.

"I'm really ashamed. I'm such a big man. I squatted in the hut for two days and my official business was delayed."

Speaking of which, Bai Chen felt a little embarrassed and unconsciously raised his buttocks that were aching from having to pull for too long.

Mr. Zeng looked at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master Bai, I heard that Su Sanya was sent to prison. How should we deal with this matter?"

When Su Sanya was mentioned, Bai Chen couldn't help but frown.

"It's hard to tell. There's no result from the investigation yet. All the dishes and chopsticks we ate that day have been washed, and the ingredients in the store have been inspected and there are no problems. Coincidentally, Su Sanya and one of us were there that day.

The two young ladies had a quarrel and almost got into a fight, which became the most suspicious thing about her."

Mr. Zeng couldn't help but frown after hearing what he said, "But she can't shoot herself in the foot? Will she be stupid enough to drug you? I think she will never do it."

"I also believe she won't, but now I have no clue about this matter, so I can only go to her as the owner of the shop, and the Holy One already knows about this matter, and he is furious about it. If the Holy One knows that this Su Sanya is Su Dening

My daughter, maybe she will be charged with murdering the royal heirs."

Looking at Bai Chen's solemn face, Mr. Zeng suddenly realized that this matter was a bit serious.

"Master Bai, if that's the case, then I'll go see His Highness and see if he can do anything."

Bai Chen looked at him with a suspicious face, "I heard that sir is indifferent to the affairs of the court. Why are you so concerned about this matter this time?"

Mr. Zeng sighed helplessly, "To be honest, Su Sanya's father and Mr. Zeng are old friends. The Su family was in trouble and all the men were gone. Su Sanya was the one who supported the family. I also miss him."

It's not easy to help her, so I thought of helping her."

Who would want to take a trip into the troubled waters of the Su family?

Bai Chen nodded with understanding,

"Mr. Zeng's thoughts are very admired by Bai, but this matter is not something that Bai can decide. I won't pursue it, and His Highness probably won't pursue it too much. It's just that it's hard to tell Princess Jiaoyue and Miss Xiao.

Yes, Princess Jiaoyue is the emperor’s most beloved sister.”

When it came to Princess Jiaoyue and Miss Xiao, Bai Chen couldn't help but frown and said:

"Their bodies are already weak, and they are still lying on the bed. Your Highness is much better like me. The Queen Mother has also put down her harsh words. This matter must be investigated thoroughly."
