After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

As people get older, the whites of their eyes are inevitably cloudy and their eyelids become loose. When they look at people, they usually squint with great effort. But Grandma Dou is different. She seldom looks at people so seriously and hard. Most of the time, even if you just meet her, she will bow and then quietly retreat aside, with a low-key look that is hard to tell.

She is so low-key... that people almost forget that she has skills, and her skills are quite good. My grandfather once said that Granny Dou is Yuan Ge's biggest reliance to do whatever he wants.

Zhuang Mengdie didn't understand at first. Yuan Ge had a lot of people to rely on on the mountain. The Great Elder was of course one of them. The brother and sister Yuan Ge and Yuan Qi were the apple of his eye. There was also the completely unreasonable Feng Qingtan... No matter how he ranked them, he couldn't top this low-key and reserved-looking Grandma Dou.

Zhuang Mengdie came in a hurry without an umbrella. The cold wind and raindrops hit her face. The old woman's eyes were pressed down by her drooping upper eyelids. Zhuang Mengdie shuddered for no reason - cold and scared. She suddenly felt that Granny Dou really wanted to kill her... even though she could be ranked in the second category in Granny Dou's world, second only to Yuan Ge himself.

The moment Yuan Ge was threatened, Granny Dou was hostile to everyone equally - regardless of the overall situation or whether they were close or distant. This is probably why Granny Dou can be called the "greatest reliance."

Zhuang Mengdie promised helplessly, "I won't tell anyone... Granny Dou, I'm leaving after the New Year, and I'll have nowhere to tell anyone then, right? Besides, now that something like this has happened on the mountain, I'm still waiting for her to stay here and help save people. How could I expose her little secret, right?" Such a big lie became an insignificant "little secret" in her mouth. After she finished speaking, she pressed the corners of her mouth unhappily - this dead girl was indeed not dead, and those few moments when she felt sad for her for nothing were simply ridiculous... How could she believe that she was dead?

Granny Dou didn't even raise her eyelids. "When it comes to keeping secrets, I only trust the dead."

"You..." Zhuang Mengdie was speechless. She had never thought in her life that she would be at loggerheads with the old woman who cooked delicious meals for Yuan Ge... She rolled her eyes at Yuan Ge in annoyance, "What do you mean? Are you going to kill me to cover up your shameful little secret?"

Yuan Ge held Granny Dou's hand and grinned, "That's not true. You know Granny Dou. She gets nervous for a long time when I sneezed. Please bear with me. Please bear with me... We all know Miss Zhuang's character. She doesn't like those messy little tricks and calculations. She doesn't like to use them. Of course, she can't use them, right?"

Zhuang Mengdie stopped halfway through nodding, her eyes widening: What do you mean... I can't do it?

"You called me stupid?"

"How can I praise you for being honest and kind."

Yuan Ge said it calmly, but Zhuang Mengdie felt that she was really stupid to believe her. As expected, Yuan Ge was Yuan Ge, and no matter whose face she was, she was still annoying. Zhuang Mengdie was too lazy to argue with her, and said seriously, "I won't tell your secrets to anyone, believe it or not. But if you want to keep it secret, don't do things that are easy to expose, and don't blame me when you are exposed..."

Grandma Dou, who was bending over to pick up the umbrella, was slightly startled and looked at Yuan Ge with an apologetic look on her face, "Madam, Madam..."

Yuan Ge took her arm and stood up, smiling and shaking his head, "It's okay. I didn't intend to hide it, but it's more difficult to explain, so I didn't say it... If it is really exposed, then it will be exposed. It doesn't matter if they believe it or not."

Granny Dou agreed with some doubt, but she still blamed herself in her heart, thinking that it was she who caused the young lady to be in a dilemma and in danger... She held an umbrella for Yuan Ge, but secretly glanced at Zhuang Mengdie, thinking about how to explain to the young lady if she killed the young lady or took her down the mountain on her own initiative...

Zhuang Mengdie rolled her eyes repeatedly at the sight of one of the master and servant being cautious and the other being careless. But in the end, she just shook her head and got back to the point. "I came here to ask you if the rumors on the mountain are true. But seeing that Granny Dou wants you to come down the mountain, I think it must be true... I don't need to ask any more questions. I just want to ask if you need any help."

After saying this, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with it, so he pressed the corners of his mouth together, with an expression that showed some disgust, disgust towards Yuan Ge and also disgust towards himself.

Yuan Ge was also a little uncomfortable.

When Yuan Ge was still Yuan Ge, she and Zhuang Mengdie were the kind of people who were born to be incompatible. No one could stand the other and they would quarrel whenever they met. They would even exchange a few moves when the quarrel became unbearable... These days finally ended on the day Zhuang Mengdie went down the mountain. After that, Zhuang Mengdie came back occasionally, and the two of them mostly didn't see each other, so naturally they didn't quarrel. To this day, those days really seem like a lifetime ago, and the familiarity is inevitably mixed with a bit of strangeness and politeness.

Yuan Ge shook his head. "There's nothing I can help you with. Just stay in your yard and don't run around."

Am I being... looked down upon?

Zhuang Mengdie choked, and immediately a familiar annoyance rose to the top of her head. She suddenly raised her voice, "Hey! What do you mean? I have some connections after traveling around the world for so many years! Yes, I don't know any medical skills, so I can't help you at all. I am powerless, but I have people. If you want to buy some herbs or something, I can send them to you in a blink of an eye with just a letter!"

He patted his chest, looking proud and arrogant.

She looked a bit like the one I remembered. Zhang Mengdie before was always a bit depressed, and it was strange to see her like that. Yuan Ge looked at the angry Zhuang Mengdie with a smile, shook his head and explained, "I don't look down on you, someone else did it. Hong Lan sent someone to find me just now to tell me about it. She has a few guards at the foot of the mountain, they are good and fast, I handed this matter over to them."

Rainbow Rain?

Zhuang Mengdie thought of the woman who looked too gentle and pretty, and reminded people of the "beauty that brings disaster" described in the picture book. She frowned for a while and asked Yuan Ge, "Do you believe her? If I remember correctly, she is still in a case and is a fugitive. Do you really believe that she can really help you? Aren't you afraid that she will mix some dirty stuff into these life-saving herbs?"

Yuan Ge raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself that this straightforward and brainless Zhuang Batian could actually consider such complicated things?
