Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.

"Thud—"

Cheng Sihai's hand trembled, knocking over the teacup.

The tea in the teacup spilled out, wetting his sleeve.

But Cheng Sihai couldn't care less about that; his mind was completely overwhelmed by shock.

Although few people know about Master's sacrifice to save people, some news will inevitably leak out.

But only he and his master knew that he had broken his shoulder blade in the fall on the grassland.

When he was young, he was very proud and didn't tell anyone.

His master promised him not to tell anyone—his master was a man of his word, and he would never go back on his promise.

Therefore, the little girl in front of me can only be my master!

His lips trembled noticeably, and he walked blankly to Bai Su, then suddenly knelt down with a thud.

"Master!"

"Get up quickly." Bai Su quickly helped him up: "You're not young anymore, be careful not to hurt your knees."

Her tone was so loving, just like the way her master spoke.

Cheng Sihai stood up, his body trembling.

Bai Su helped him sit down.

The two talked for a long time.

That's all in the past.

Bai Su said the score was exactly right.

His tone, movements, and posture were exactly the same as his master's. Except for his appearance and voice, everything else was clearly the same as his master's.

Cheng Sihai became even more convinced.

"Master... I never expected that you would still be alive... and even become Zhouzhou's classmate."

"I was born on the same day and month as Xiaobai's granddaughter, so there might be some kind of connection between us."

"How is Senior Sister doing now?"

Bai Su was silent for two seconds, then lowered her head: "She left the day I arrived in the capital."

Before Cheng Sihai could even process the words "gone," he instinctively asked, "Where did she go?"

Bai Su gave a bitter smile: "She's gone. She died of poisoning. A poison called Thousand Herbs Extinction took her life, and even I couldn't save her..."

As she spoke about the pharmacology of Qiancaojue, she clenched her fists and said, "This poison is extremely vicious. If you're not careful in the early stages, you won't even realize you've been poisoned. So even a novice who inherited my medical skills didn't notice."

Upon hearing that it was Qiancaojue, Cheng Sihai seemed to realize something and subconsciously wanted to speak, but hesitated for a moment before swallowing his words.

He changed his words, saying, "Master, please accept my condolences. My eldest sister has had a very difficult time these past few years since her son passed away. Perhaps her passing is a relief for her."

Bai Su frowned: "How can being murdered be considered a relief? I must find the person who poisoned me. You have to help me. My current identity is very limited, and there are many things I can't do. You and Xiaoshanzi have to help me together."

Cheng Sihai's eyes darted away slightly, and he gave a dry laugh, saying, "As long as you ask, I'd go through fire and water for you... But you must be hungry by now, right? How about we go out for a meal?"

Bai Su sensed that something was wrong.

"Xiao Si, are you hiding something from me?"

"No... How could I dare to hide anything from you? I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a hundred lives. Hehe..."

The smile was stiff.

Bai Su gave him a deep look: "Xiao Si, after all these years, you're still the same as before, picking at your fingernails when you lie."

Cheng Sihai subconsciously looked down at his hands.

Sure enough, he was picking at his fingers.

His aged face flushed.

"Master... nothing escapes your eyes."

In the past, he was completely transparent to his master.

"Then tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

Cheng Sihai gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please don't ask about this matter anymore. It has nothing to do with you. My second senior brother, my two junior brothers, and I will serve you well from now on."

Bai Su frowned.

Cheng Sihai was the least cunning and least scheming among his apprentices.

Even if he had something to hide from her before, he would tell her everything if she asked a few more questions.

But now...

It seems that she still has to rely on herself for some things.

Bai Su sighed and said, "Never mind, you're all grown up now. You're not the little kids who used to listen to everything I said."

Cheng Sihai said in a panic, "No, Master, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that this matter involves too many people, and if we were to investigate it thoroughly, it might implicate and harm many others."

"This matter? You mean the matter of Xiaobai being poisoned?"

Cheng Sihai closed his eyes briefly, nodded, and said, "Yes..."

Bai Su was silent for a moment, took two deep breaths, and said, "Since none of you want to help me investigate, then forget it."

She looked it up herself.

Cheng Sihai, being simple-minded, thought that Bai Su's words meant she was not going to continue the investigation, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

"Master, it's a joyous occasion that you've been given a second chance at life. Why don't you stay here with me from now on? This house and garden were all built to your liking; I'm sure you'll love them."

Bai Su waved her hand: "I have a place to stay, I won't be coming over for the time being."

"Are you staying at Second Senior Brother's place?" Cheng Sihai was instantly a little jealous.

Bai Su shook her head: "No, I found the place myself."

Cheng Sihai was immediately delighted.

"It's inconvenient for you to live alone. How about this, if you don't want to move in, I'll buy a house near you so I can take care of you anytime."

"No need. You're getting on in years. You should take care of yourself first."

Bai Su's attitude was firm: "My current status is not suitable for being too high-profile. You cannot reveal my real identity to outsiders."

"Of course."

The world is not what it used to be. If word gets out that Master has been reborn, the world will be thrown into chaos.

"Then... how about I say I want to adopt you as my daughter?"

Bai Su looked at him and reminded him, "You're almost seventy, how can you have a daughter as young as me?"

"Then it's my granddaughter... but I'll still call you Master in private."

"I'll think about it."

Cheng Sihai nodded vigorously, then asked, "Does Zhouzhou know your identity?"

"He doesn't know that I only found out he's your grandson after I came to your house and met you today."

At this point, Bai Su smiled and said, "Yizhou's temper is exactly the same as yours when you were young."

Cheng Sihai thought he was being praised and laughed, "After all, he's my grandson."

"Yes, just like you, I'm naive and innocent, which is why I got bullied by two outsiders."

"..." Cheng Sihai finally realized what was happening.

Bai Su said, "That mother and son are no pushovers, and from what I know, your son is truly blind."

"Isn't that right? If he weren't my only son, I'd kick him out! That stupid fool who can't tell family from kin!"

He considered himself not particularly clever or adaptable in interpersonal relationships, but he was much better at judging people than Cheng Wuyan.

Then, remembering Bai Su, he excitedly grabbed Bai Su's sleeve and said, "Master, you are smarter than me. If you come and stay, you will definitely be able to think of a way to make Wu Yan recognize the truth about the mother and son."

Bai Su smiled wryly: "Let me think about it first. I'm already preparing to help Yizhou."

Cheng Sihai nodded vigorously, then asked, "Should we tell Yizhou and Wuyan about your identity?"

"Let's tell Yizhou for now."

Cheng Yizhou often throws tantrums and frequently disobeys her.

Cheng Yizhou needs to know that she is an elder.

"Then I'll call him in now."

"Alright."

Cheng Sihai then beckoned to Lao Xu to call Cheng Yizhou in.

Cheng Yizhou waited outside until Lin Yu and her son returned, but the people inside still hadn't finished talking.

Hearing Lao Xu call him, he quickly came in.

Upon entering, one could see Bai Su sitting in a chair, while his grandfather stood respectfully beside him.

A question mark slowly appeared in his mind: "Grandpa?"

Cheng Sihai beckoned: "Come here."

Cheng Yizhou glanced at Bai Su, then at his grandfather, and felt a strange, unsettling atmosphere.

But he still stepped forward.

However, the next second, the old man pointed at Bai Su and said, "Yizhou, kneel down and kowtow to your ancestor."

"?!"

Cheng Yizhou froze, instinctively scratching his ear—he suspected he had misheard and misseen.

Seeing that he didn't move, Cheng Sihai frowned: "Aren't you going to kneel down and kowtow?!"

Cheng Yizhou finally confirmed that he hadn't misheard.

He blurted out, "Grandpa, have you had too much to drink?"

Cheng Sihai's face turned pale: "I was drinking tea, not wine."

"Then why did you say Ye Baisu is my ancestor? And why did you make me kneel before her?"

"Because she is your deceased ancestor."

Cheng Sihai carefully explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Lin Yu and Cheng Dong kept their eyes fixed on the direction of the tea room.

It's already 7:30, long past lunchtime, and the food is cold.

What are these three people talking about so mysteriously in the tea room?

If it weren't for Lao Xu guarding the door, the two of them would have been tempted to go over and eavesdrop.

Cheng Dong was fine; he was very composed and had a strong ability to control his emotions. He sat on the sofa without moving, only occasionally eating some fruit.

But Lin Yu couldn't sit still any longer.

Ignoring Cheng Dong's dissuasive gaze, she walked towards Lao Xu.

Before she could even get close to the tea room, Old Xu came to greet her.

It was as if he was preventing her from getting close and overhearing the conversation inside, or perhaps he simply saw her looking for him and went to greet her first.

"Madam, are you hungry?"

"I'm fine..." Lin Yu glanced in the direction of the tea room and said, "It's just that Dad is getting old, and I'm worried he might not be able to handle it. Perhaps I should go in and ask him if he'd like some snacks first?"

The Cheng family usually eats early, but today it was a little late because they were inviting Cheng Yizhou's classmate over.

But now it's already 7:30.

Her statement is reasonable.

Old Xu refused outright.

"There are plenty of snacks in the tea room. If you're hungry, sir, you can eat them yourself. They haven't come out yet, so there must be something important going on. If you're hungry, please eat first."

"The guests and Dad haven't come out yet, what kind of behavior is it if I eat first?"

"Then I'll trouble you to wait a little longer, Madam."

Lin Yu was turned away.

His face looked terrible, and he almost lost his temper.

Cheng Dong gave her a pear.

"Mom, try it. The pear juice is very juicy and sweet today."

Lin Yu then managed to suppress his anger.

Inside the tea room, Cheng Yizhou was kneeling on the ground.
