In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

She overheard through the crack in the window that the man surnamed Li and the kitchen girl were a couple. Jiang Ranran had drugged the kitchen girl to please Young Master Wu. Later, the girl died and was taken to the servants' quarters as "extra food." When the man surnamed Li found out, he almost went mad on the spot and came looking for her. Unfortunately, in the end, he not only failed to get revenge but also lost half his life.

If he were thrown out like that, his chances of survival would be slim.

Jiang Mianmian sighed inwardly and reminded her, "After today, you and Jiang Ranran have officially broken off relations. If she can poison the water once, she can do it again, and she can even tamper with various foods. You are a smart person, and although your actions today were out of necessity, they were still very inappropriate. What are your plans?"

She didn't directly say what to do, after all, she was just an outsider and had no right to criticize Qingrui's right or wrong, or demand an apology or compensation.

Moreover, by posing this question, she also wanted to see how Qingrui planned to answer it.

She lacks merit points, but we still need to see if this person is worth helping.

Qingrui hadn't thought that much about it. She just figured that Jiang Ranran was unconscious and wouldn't be able to stir up trouble anymore. She thought she could go and talk to Manager Wu on her behalf, and maybe she wouldn't have to leave today.

But what will I do after Jiang Ranran wakes up? What if she cries sweetly again, or poisons me like she did today? Wouldn't that be the end of me?

Thinking of this, her face changed drastically. "I'll go find Sister Xianghe right now to apologize. I'll kneel down and pay compensation. I'll accept it all. Please, Miss Jiang, give me a clear answer. What should I do?"

"Go and see if Xianghe has received the money. Bring her here, and I'll talk to you both."

Jiang Mianmian planned to resolve the issues between these two people once and for all.

The two returned quickly, having already talked things out on the way.

Lin Xianghe did not blame Qingrui.

She thanked Jiang Mianmian, saying, "If it weren't for you, Miss, I wouldn't have been able to get these twenty taels of silver. I would have been driven mad by those two today."

As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Jiang Mianmian, saying, "This is a thank-you fee, not for medicine or consultation, so it doesn't count as practicing medicine illegally."

"You still remember this?"

Jiang Mianmian felt a mix of amusement and emotion.

Relationships between people are always so strange; people who should be very close can end up like enemies.

Even though we only met once, I can still remember all the good things about you and cherish your concerns.

Ultimately, it comes down to character!

She accepted the money, and using her backpack as a cover, took out ten bags of compressed biscuits and two raincoats, distributing them to the two men. "Do you still remember the songs from the city?"

A devastating rainstorm! Their hearts pounded. "I remember."

"The torrential rain will last for more than a month. Before that time, the county town will be flooded. And within a few days, diplomatic relations will be cut off, and food prices in the town will become increasingly expensive."

Jiang Mianmian earnestly advised, "I don't know why you didn't run for your lives, but the sooner you leave, the better. These compressed biscuits are enough; just eat one at a time, and they'll keep you full. Head east first. There will be extreme cold in the north and a plague in the south. I can't help you any more than that. Nothing is more important than saving your lives."

Lin Xianghe had already planned to leave. "I was thinking of leaving too, but I've spent all my money and haven't bought much grain. It was just a coincidence today..."

She sighed and said no more. She had the money and her life was saved. Now the most important thing was to escape.

"It's getting late. In that case, I'll thank the divine physician and take my leave now."

"Sister Xianghe, please just call me Miss Jiang. I am not worthy of the title of divine doctor."

Jiang Mianmian didn't try to stop her, saying, "Then I wish you a safe journey, sister."

Lin Xianghe is clearly a person with her own ideas, and she is not someone who can be easily won over. Let's just consider this a good relationship for now.

Qingrui panicked a little. "I'll go home and discuss it right away. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

She listens to her family at home and the manager at Ruyilou; she has no say in anything.

Jiang Mianmian then cautioned her, "If you ultimately decide to stay in the building, be sure to be careful of Jiang Ranran and that young master Wu."

"Okay, I've written it down."

The green buds should fall.

Both of them left in a hurry.

Thankfully, the water is still warm after we've been talking for a while.

Jiang Mianmian packed her things and locked the door.

She was a little uneasy about taking a bath in an unfamiliar environment, so she quickly washed herself, changed into dry clothes, and went downstairs to find Manager Wu.

"Is my sister awake yet?"

Shopkeeper Wu was puzzled. Didn't these two sisters have a bad relationship?

He hesitated before saying, "I just woke up once, but then I fainted from the pain again. It's really hard to find a doctor in the rain. I'll go and fetch one as soon as the rain stops."

"Thank you for your trouble, shopkeeper. I'll do my best."

Jiang Mianmian asked for the room number.

Manager Wu simply called an old woman to lead her over.

Ruyi Building, backyard, servants' quarters.

Jiang Ranran woke up from a nightmare with her clothes completely soaked.

Before I could even regain my senses, I almost fainted again from the excruciating pain in my ankle.

She propped herself up and sat up. Looking down, she saw that her right ankle was red, swollen, and twisted into a horrifying shape!

"Come here, is there anyone here?"

She shouted very loudly.

However, the rain outside was too heavy, and the sound was quickly drowned out by the pouring rain.

There was no one outside, and no lights were on inside.

The corner was dark and shadowy, as if something was wriggling inside.

Jiang Ranran tugged at the blanket, trying to crawl inside, hoping it would lessen her fear.

However, the blanket pulled on her ankle.

The pain doubled.

"what!"

She screamed and started sobbing, clutching the blanket.

If this continues, will her leg become lame?

How can a cripple marry into the Ye family? How can she marry into a higher social class?

If it weren't for that bitch Jiang Mianmian making Eight Treasures Powder, how could anyone be allergic?

If that bitch hadn't suddenly appeared today, so what if I had an allergic reaction? I could have easily gotten away with it!

That way, I wouldn't be disliked by Manager Wu, I wouldn't lose face so badly, and I wouldn't become a cripple!

Jiang Ranran's shoulders trembled, and tears streamed down her face, soaking the blanket.

When she was three years old, she was picking food out of a garbage can when she was taken back to the Jiang family by Li, who appeared out of nowhere.

At that moment, she thought her good days had finally arrived.

But when he arrived at the Jiang family, he realized that he was nothing more than a substitute!

She went to great lengths to make the Jiang family forget about that money-losing brat.

However, in order to successfully marry Brother Ye, she had to find a way to have the money-losing girl come back to marry in her place.

At that time, she didn't take that money-losing girl seriously, and as it turned out, Jiang Mianmian was nothing more than a dispensable thing to the Jiang family.

Its only value is that it can earn a little money for the family.

As long as the love and care of the whole family is focused on me, I don't mind having another mouth to feed.

It seems like everything changed overnight?

That brat has become sharp-tongued, ruthless, and even a woman!

She was insanely jealous, and even thought that it would be best if Qi Xuan could really stop Jiang Mianmian from coming back.

But that good-for-nothing can't even handle such a small matter!

If she really becomes a cripple today, I will never let that bitch get away with it again!

"Waaah, is anyone there?!"

Jiang Ranran was filled with hatred and fear.

She stared intently at the gate. If anyone could lend her a hand at this moment, they would be her benefactor for life!

Even if it's just a bowl of water, she'll repay it properly!
