The original owner died in such an unclear manner, but unexpectedly, the Shangshu family benefited greatly from the original owner's death.

The position of the Shangshu in the court became more stable and even more advanced because of the original owner. His two elder brothers were also promoted because of the original owner's death, and their careers were bright. As for the Shangshu's wife, she felt relieved, as if she had been freed from some kind of bondage.

Sometimes, people in the Shangshu Mansion would sigh that the original owner and the real daughter died too early, otherwise they would have been able to enjoy such a good life together now.

However, the Shangshu did not change his style of doing things, and was still addicted to using women to gain benefits for himself. However, he no longer adopted adopted daughters, but started to raise some skinny horses.

The life of Shangshu Mansion was getting smoother and smoother. But what about the original owner? She watched those who harmed her live happily with a heart full of regret and resentment, and her resentment became more and more serious.

The resentment lingered in her heart and could not be calmed for a long time. The resentment in the original owner's heart was like a blazing fire that could not be extinguished. She was determined to make everyone in the Shangshu Mansion pay the price for their actions, especially the real daughter who she felt deeply guilty about.

The original owner's soul summoned Ran Qi in the dark, as if it was fate. Ran Qi's arrival gave the original owner a glimmer of hope, and she wanted to use Ran Qi's power to fulfill her wish.

When Ran Qi opened her eyes again, she found herself in an antique boudoir, decorated elegantly and delicately. The sunlight from the window sprinkled in the room, casting a soft shadow.

"Miss, are you up?" A crisp voice came from outside the door, interrupting Ran Qi's thoughts.

"I'm up." Ran Qi responded.

As she finished her words, the door was gently pushed open, and a maid in green walked in. Her steps were light and her face was filled with a gentle smile.

"Xiao Cui, please help me put on my clothes." Ran Qi said.

Xiao Cui nodded, and skillfully arranged Ran Qi's clothes and combed her hair. During the whole process, Ran Qi sat quietly, letting Xiao Cui do the work, her thoughts already drifting far away.

Today was the day when the real daughter Ran Wan'er returned home. Ran Qi couldn't help but wonder how Ran Wan'er had walked back from such a far place? Moreover, she was said to be covered in wounds.

Sure enough, the moment Ran Qi stepped out of the room, he heard the servants whispering.

"There's a person who fainted outside. She said she was the legitimate daughter of the mansion."

"Miss Di? Didn't they say the real daughter was missing? Why did she suddenly come back?"

"Who knows, maybe he's a fake."

"What do you mean by legitimate young lady? Isn't that nonsense? The young lady is doing well in the mansion!"

"Oh, you are so confused! The legitimate young lady I'm talking about is not the one in the mansion now, but the real legitimate young lady!"

"Ah? What's true or false? Isn't the young lady at home? I have never heard of any other legitimate young ladies!"

"Alas, you don't know that the real daughter of the mansion went missing many years ago! The young lady now is actually the adopted daughter of the master."

"Ah? How could this happen? Now that the real Miss Di is back, what should we do with the fake one?"

"How would I know? This kind of thing is not something we servants can control. But I think things are going to change in this mansion!"

The old men in the Shangshu Mansion only then realized that the legitimate daughter they had always thought of was actually just an adopted daughter, and the real legitimate daughter had been lost when she was a child.

However, the young lady is now very much loved, and no one in the mansion dares to look down on her anymore.

"How dare you! How can you servants talk about the master's affairs at will!" Xiao Cui shouted angrily, her voice was sharp and stern, successfully stopping the servants from whispering. She knew Miss Ranqi's character very well, and was worried that these gossips would make Ranqi sad.

"Okay, Xiao Cui, don't bother with them. Let's go over and take a look." Ran Qi seemed quite calm, as if he didn't take the servants' comments to heart.

When Ran Qi hurried to the main courtyard, Ran Wan'er's identity had been confirmed and she was taken away to be treated by the doctor. Ran Qi just glanced at Ran Wan'er's current appearance and turned away, as if he didn't care about her identity at all.

In fact, Ran Qi's heart was as clear as a mirror. In the previous life, on the day when Ran Wan'er came back, the original owner had made a big fuss, crying that she would be kicked out of the house, in order to win the sympathy and sympathy of the family.

At that time, the original owner was full of joy and thought that she had won, but it was not the case. She was completely unaware of the real situation. In fact, those people did not value her at all. The reason why they did not choose Ran Wan'er was simply because her appearance was too ordinary.

At this moment, Ran Wan'er's skin was as dark as coal, which was caused by her long-term heavy physical labor. Her hands had grown thick calluses due to constant labor, and she looked more than ten years older than her peers.

In contrast, the original owner, who received a good education in the Shangshu Mansion, had a somewhat willful personality, but her appearance was very outstanding. Such conditions made the original owner more valuable in the eyes of those people and could bring them greater benefits in the future. Therefore, they had already secretly calculated everything in their hearts.

If Ran Wan'er's appearance could be a little more outstanding, perhaps they would not mind training another person like her. Unfortunately, Ran Wan'er's appearance was really unsatisfactory, which also doomed her to be at a disadvantage in this competition.

Ran Wan'er returned to the Shangshu Mansion just to find someone to rely on.

Her adoptive parents in the countryside died, and all the things in the house were taken over by relatives. Ran Wan'er went through a lot of hardships to find her family, thinking that she would have someone to rely on in the future, but she didn't know that she had entered a den of wolves.

The people in the Shangshu Mansion had no interest in waiting for Ran Wan'er to wake up. After knowing that Ran Wan'er would not die, they all left, and only Ran Qi was still there.

After several hours, Ran Wan'er woke up slowly. The first thing she saw was Ran Qi, who was dressed in luxurious clothes. Comparing her current appearance with Ran Qi, Ran Wan'er felt a little ashamed.

"Sister, are you awake?" Ran Qi tried to be as gentle as possible, not wanting to scare Ran Wan'er.

Ran Wan'er looked at her clothes and was a little nervous. Ran Qi smiled and explained, "Your clothes were changed by your maid. You fainted at the gate of the mansion before."

Ran Wan'er then recalled that when she saw the words "Shangshu Mansion", the strength that had kept her walking here with disappeared, so she fainted at the door of the mansion.

"I didn't mean it." Ran Wan'er still felt sorry for fainting.

"I know you didn't mean it, and you are the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. You must have suffered a lot in the past. You don't have to suffer anymore in the future!"

Ran Wan'er looked at Ran Qi in confusion. "Who are you?"

"I am Ran Qi, the daughter adopted by the Shangshu Mansion after you went missing."

Ran Wan'er felt a little disappointed when she heard this, because the original owner's parents already had a new daughter.

She looked around the room again, and except Ran Qi, she didn't see anyone else. She felt a little frightened for a moment, wondering if her parents didn't like her.
