The murmurs grew louder, and the crowd gathered again.

The old nanny glared sharply at the thick-browed man who had stirred up trouble.

This man has repeatedly disrespected the old lady and deserves to be beaten! Unfortunately, for the sake of the Ye family's reputation, she can only endure it.

But Jiang Mianmian had no intention of enduring it; she retrieved what she wanted from her consciousness.

He smiled at the old nanny and said, "Please bear with me."

"what?"

The old nanny was a little confused. What was she supposed to be responsible for?

Jiang Mianmian walked quickly to the man with thick eyebrows.

She has a round face, round eyes, a pretty nose, and red lips; she looks cute and harmless.

The burly man with thick eyebrows was captivated by the sight and was about to speak with a smirk.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a sudden pain on his face!

"Snapped!"

The pain quickly spread from my face to my ears, and even my whole head buzzed as if it were about to explode!

Things happened too fast.

No one expected that this little girl, who was saving people one second ago, would start hitting people the next!

Even more unexpectedly, this seemingly soft little girl had the audacity to slap a man two heads taller than her!

The crowd gasped and retreated in unison: what if the man suddenly attacked and killed the girl? They didn't want to get covered in blood!

Sure enough, the burly man covered his head and shook it a few times, then his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"You brat, you dare hit me?"

"You dare to question me, fine, but you also dare to speak disrespectfully to the old lady. If I don't beat you up, who will I beat up?"

Jiang Mianmian's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating and clearly reached everyone's ears.

The old nanny was somewhat surprised.

This girl actually hit someone because of the old lady.

She gave Wei San a look and then let the old lady lean against her so that the doctor could take her pulse.

Wei San immediately stood beside Jiang Mianmian, his aura fierce and terrifying.

"you!"

The burly man with thick eyebrows dared not make a move, but stubbornly said, "Wait until the doctor finishes taking your pulse, then you'll regret it!"

"What's wrong with you? The old lady is perfectly fine now!"

After taking the pulse, the old doctor had a good idea of ​​what was going on, and he became somewhat displeased upon hearing this.

Everyone was surprised.

The burly man with thick eyebrows was even more startled. "All right? He's... alright?"

Noticing the strange looks in the eyes of the old nanny of the Ye family and the guard, he swallowed the word 'death'.

"Of course, it's all thanks to this young lady who managed to control her condition in time."

The old doctor looked at Jiang Mianmian with eyes full of approval.

The old nanny also bowed to Jiang Mianmian.

The movements were deliberately exaggerated, and the attitude was very respectful.

Now everyone believed it, and their previous disdain and doubt turned into envy.

The burly man with thick eyebrows recalled what he had just said, his face burning with pain. He still couldn't believe it. "How could this be? She... she must have just gotten lucky..."

How could a poor girl possibly save someone?

"Who are you calling a blind cat and a dead mouse?"

Jiang Mianmian asked in return.

The facts were undeniable, and this time no one was swayed by the man's words. Instead, they all mocked him, saying, "You're the kind of person who can't stand seeing others do well!"

"Did that young girl offend you? Why are you accusing her again and again?"

"Thanks to this nanny's decisiveness and understanding, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The old nanny nodded to everyone and urged, "The old lady's condition has stabilized, so you should all hurry into the city."

Those who were quick-witted said things like, "May the old lady be in good health," and then hurried away.

The others exchanged glances and began to line up to enter the city.

The burly man with thick eyebrows lowered his head, trying to slip away in the chaos, but Wei San grabbed him by the collar.

The old nanny sneered, "Did I say you could leave?"

He ignored him and instead grabbed some loose silver and stuffed it into Jiang Mianmian's hand, saying, "Take these girls and buy some snacks to sweeten your mouths. When the old lady wakes up, she will surely reward you handsomely."

She then gestured with her chin towards the man, "This man speaks rudely, young lady, would you still like to...?"

It seemed like he was willing to let himself get another beating.

Jiang Mianmian smiled and shook her head, "It's just a few barks, it's nothing."

As for the money, she didn't refuse much. She wasn't a saint who could save people from suffering. It was only right that she would receive something in return for her efforts!

He then added, "This is enough. There's no need for a generous thank you. You should take care of the old lady."

Although she declined verbally, she knew that what she had done today was nothing short of a 'life-saving grace,' and if the Ye family was sincere, they would surely find her within three days and 'generously thank' her! Therefore, she was willing to provide more information to help the Ye family successfully weather the initial calamity. In times of natural disaster and chaos, having a powerful backer meant having a greater chance of survival!

If the Ye family hadn't come looking for her, then it wouldn't be appropriate for her to speak too intimately with them.

After saying his goodbyes, he joined the last line and carefully sensed the tracking Gu within his body.

That slap wasn't just to vent my anger; it was to plant a Gu poison. A tracking Gu, a mother Gu paired with a child Gu, capable of being tracked within ten miles and sensed within a hundred miles!

In this second life, she would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. No matter if the person was the second-in-command in her previous life, they must all be under her control!

If he is right, the day they reunite will be the day they die!

A surge of murderous intent welled up within her, and Jiang Mianmian unintentionally exuded a chilling aura.

The city guards watched the spectacle and thought to themselves that this young girl, despite her young age, was quite formidable.

The Ye family also paid for everyone's entry fee, so they quickly let everyone in.

Just as her figure was about to disappear.

A figure quietly followed.

The old nanny then turned her gaze to the doctor, "Do you still have any anti-epilepsy pills?"

"Didn't you only take two bottles?"

Counting the days, the old doctor asked in confusion, "It's all used up already?"

That's a month's supply of medicine! Thinking of this, a bad guess flashed through his mind: if she had taken her medicine on time, why did the old lady suddenly fall ill today?

As expected, the old woman shook her head and said only, "Give me two more bottles."

The old doctor didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement. "I'm just short of two ingredients for now, which will arrive in five days. It will also take another five days to prepare them. You need to take good care of the old lady these days and make sure she doesn't get emotional. I will deliver the medicine to your residence when it arrives."

The two agreed on a time, and the servants from the Ye family who came to take care of the old lady also made sure she was properly settled.

The old woman then looked at the thick-browed man who had been restrained, and said, "Take him away."

The crowd rushed forward and shoved the man into the car.

The burly man with thick eyebrows had his mouth gagged, unable to shout or break free, and he began to hate Jiang Mianmian.

The crowd dispersed, and the commotion at the city gate was blown away by a gust of wind.

A light rain began to fall.

The spring rain was as fine as cow's hair, but people didn't avoid it; on the contrary, they were very happy.

With this rain, the crops will surely grow better, and this year will be a bumper harvest.

Only Jiang Mianmian, who was hurrying along, had a somber expression.

In my previous life, it clearly started raining three days later, and the earthquake and torrential rain followed several days later. But why is it happening earlier now? However, since I was able to be reborn, the natural disasters in this life could indeed change.

She can't rely solely on her memory and the supply depot; she must make more comprehensive preparations!

At Lingxiao Tower, Jiu Niang saw that it was raining outside, so she picked up a hoe and went to the backyard.

"Eleven, go and get the chili seeds I soaked."

She squatted down and turned the soil over bit by bit.

"Mianmian is gone, what are you still doing? We can't eat that stuff even if we grow it."

Seventh Sister lay on the rocking chair, not wanting to move at all.

"Maybe she'll come back someday?" Jiu Niang glared at her. "If she doesn't come back, I'll find a way to secretly send her to the Jiang family. As long as she likes to eat it, that's fine!"

"Fine, fine, you're the only one who dotes on her!"

Unable to argue with her, Seventh Sister stood up, when suddenly she heard a knock on the back door. She called out, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Mianmian."

A choked voice sounded from outside the door.

"Ah!" Jiu Niang smashed her hoe into her own hand, and beads of blood oozed out.

"Hey, be careful!"

Seventh Sister only had time to say that one sentence before turning and running away, "Why did you come back in such heavy rain? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from the rain!"
