Ran Qi brought Ran Wan'er to his own yard. The ground was swept clean, the room was spotless, and there were many gold, stone and jade artifacts piled up, making Ran Wan'er feel that she would pollute the place by stepping in.

Because she walked so much, the pair of shoes on Ran Wan'er's feet, which she had worn for who knows how long, were worn out. Her hair was messy, and her originally dark face was covered with a layer of dust. Her clothes had been patched countless times.

When Ran Wan'er saw Ran Qi's residence for the first time, she felt a little inferior. She even felt a little ashamed when standing next to Ran Qi.

Ran Qi saw Ran Wan'er's embarrassment and said gently, "You don't have to feel inferior. Everything here should have been yours. It's just that you got lost, so they adopted me."

"You've suffered a lot outside for so many years. Now that you're back, you'll naturally be the eldest daughter again. Your life will only get better and better in the future."

If Ran Qi was just an ordinary person, she would definitely not say this. It would inevitably make Ran Wan'er feel jealous and dissatisfied after hearing these words.

But Ran Qi was not worried about this at all. She was just a tasker and was not worried at all that Ran Wan'er would harm her.

Ran Wan'er lowered her head in inferiority and said, "Thank you...thank you"

This was the first time that Ran Qi heard Ran Wan'er speak in person. Her voice was clear and pleasant.

"You don't have to thank me. Now that you're back, we're sisters and will be good friends from now on."

Ran Qi ordered the maid to help Ran Wan'er wash and comb her hair again and change her into luxurious clothes. However, Ran Wan'er still felt very uncomfortable wearing the clothes.

Ran Qi pulled her aside and said, "You have to adapt to these things. You won't have to suffer in the future. Do you understand?"

"And look, this dress is so beautiful, it suits you very well."

"Really? Thank you." Ran Wan'er smiled sweetly. It was the first time since she was a child that she wore such an expensive dress. It was also the first time that someone said to her, "You don't have to suffer anymore!"

From the initial uneasiness and the disgust in her eyes when she met Liang before, Ran Wan'er is no longer so nervous now. At least Ran Qi is good to her.

There are people in this family who welcome her, right?

Not long after, the three sons of the Ran family also returned.

Ran Yifei, the eldest son of the Ran family, was exhausted. When he came back, he heard that his younger sister had returned and was in Ran Qi's yard. He didn't even bother to pay his respects to his mother, and rushed over.

"Qiqi, are you okay? Did she bully you?"

Ran Yifei asked with concern as soon as he came back. If you didn’t know, you would really think how much Ran Yifei loves his sister Ran Qi.

Ran Qi shook his head and said, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could Wan'er bully me? When Wan'er comes back, she can keep me company. I don't know how happy I will be."

"That's good." Ran Yifei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was really nothing wrong with Ran Qi.

Then he looked at Ran Wan'er who was standing beside him. "Is this Ran Wan'er?"

Ran Wan'er was a little nervous. She could tell that this elder brother didn't like her. She clenched her hands inside her dress, not knowing what to do.

"Wan'er, don't be afraid, this is your eldest brother," Ran Qi introduced.

"Big...Brother"

Ran Yifei glanced at the timid Ran Wan'er with a look of disgust on his face. "Who is your big brother? I only have Qiqi as my sister."

"Although you are back, don't think about bullying Qiqi. She is different from those people outside."

"Don't think about chasing Qiqi away or taking her things. People should know their own limitations."

In fact, in the previous life, even if the original owner had not framed them, their family would not have been able to like Ran Wan'er.

Because Ran Wan'er was not good-looking and did not have the temperament of a noble lady, she was far from what they wanted.

But this cannot erase the original owner's frame-up, so the original owner also wanted to apologize, but it was too late by then.

Ran Wan'er was scolded so much that she lowered her head and dared not speak. She was afraid of this elder brother whom she had never met.

Ran Qi protected Ran Wan'er by his side and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Wan'er has suffered so much outside, and now she has finally come back, we should all compensate her."

"What do you mean by stealing my things? These are what I am willing to give to Wan'er."

Seeing that Ran Qi had been protecting Ran Wan'er, Ran Yifei also taught her, "You are just too kind and you take people too lightly."

"She grew up outside since she was a child. She might have picked up some bad habits. What if she bullies you?"

"I...I won't," Ran Wan'er defended herself in a low voice.

Ran Yifei snorted coldly, "It's better this way."

The other members of the Ran family also came back, but only Ran Yifei rushed to Ran Qi's yard to take a look.

I thought that even if Ran Wan'er was having a hard time outside, she still had a good foundation. If she was beautiful, she might as well stay.

Unexpectedly, Ran Wan'er was born with such a dark skin. Even if she was good-looking, no one would like her. This was equivalent to abandoning her.

Even Ran Yifei hated Ran Wan'er. What was she doing back? Was she here to bring shame to their Shangshu Mansion?

Ran's father had just returned from drinking with his colleagues in the court when he learned that such a big thing had happened in the mansion.

Knowing that Ran Yifei had already seen it, he didn't go there again.

"Yifei, how is Ran Wan'er who just came back?"

Ran Yifei still has a disgusted expression when he mentions Ran Wan'er. "Drive away the dark-skinned bumpkin, or he will dirty the Shangshu Mansion."

"This Ran Wan'er is a scheming person. Today, she entered my Shangshu Mansion in front of so many people. Now the news has spread everywhere that the missing daughter of the Shangshu Mansion has returned. It's difficult for us to chase her away."

"Then if she did something wrong, then it's not our fault!"

Ran Yifei spoke without emotion, but he already had a plan in mind.

Ran Wan'er's return was a foregone conclusion, so it was naturally difficult for them to come out and chase her away. However, if Ran Wan'er did something herself, outsiders would not say anything about them.

And the best target is Ran Qi. She and Ran Wan'er are opposites, so their conflict is the easiest to provoke.

Ran Yifei's words were also agreed by Ran's father.

Ran Junxuan and Ran Chen are the second and third sons of the Shangshu Mansion respectively, and are currently serving in the court.

As soon as they returned home, they heard that their biological sister had returned, but there was no look of concern in their eyes. Instead, they went to find Ran Yifei.

"Brother, I heard that you went to see that Ran Wan'er. How was it?"

Ran Yifei shook his head and said, "No, she's too ugly, not even as good-looking as the maids in the mansion."

Ran Chen said angrily, "Why did you come back when you look like this? Isn't this bringing shame to our Shangshu Mansion?"

"Let's get rid of them as soon as possible. If they stay, it will only embarrass the Shangshu Mansion." There was no sign of worry in Ran Chen's eyes just because Ran Wan'er was her biological sister.

And there was disgust in her eyes. It can be seen how ugly Ran Wan'er is that she could make her elder brother say such words.

In fact, Ran Wan'er herself was not ugly, but when she was in Liang's belly, Liang had taken a lot of drugs, and the residual toxins remained in Ran Wan'er's body.

This is why Ran Wan'er was born darker than others.
