After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

Gan Cai'er took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm, not to panic, and not to get angry.

If Meng Yu really goes crazy, even God can't do anything about him.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gan Cai'er said coldly.

"You know perfectly well that Lan Tingzhou's heart belongs to Shen Yunxi. In the end, he will marry her."

"In my past life, I was already throwing myself at others for half my life, so why should I keep throwing myself at others in this life?"

"Even if I'm stupid and dumb, that's enough for me after a lifetime of being stupid and dumb."

Gan Cai'er's voice was very calm.

After saying that, she raised her hand and shoved Meng Yu's head away.

"As for you, you cost me my life in my past life, so in this life, get as far away from me as possible."

"Hehehe..."

After hearing Gan Cai'er's words, Meng Yu suddenly chuckled softly. His chest trembled slightly, as if he was experiencing an irrepressible joy and relief.

"You can be angry with me, hate me, anything is fine, just don't ignore me." Meng Yu leaned closer again, clinging to Gan Cai'er and tightening his arms around her.

Seeing that Meng Yu's sinister aura had dissipated and he seemed to have returned to his usual roguish self, Gan Cai'er couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let go, I have important things to do today," Gan Cai'er said calmly.

"What do you want to do? I'll help you." Meng Yu didn't want to let go.

"I told you to let go!"

"Sweetie, let me hug you one more time."

"Meng! Yu! Let go of me! Now!"

Seeing that Gan Cai'er was about to suddenly attack, Meng Yu reluctantly let go of her. Nannan was dressed so beautifully today, adorned with jewels and precious stones; it would be a real shame to ruin her.

As soon as Meng Yu let go, Gan Cai'er immediately took a few steps away from him. She slightly adjusted her clothes and hair ornaments, then left without looking back, never glancing at Meng Yu again.

Meng Yu leaned slowly against the artificial hill, staring in the direction Gan Cai'er had left, without moving for a long time.

How much longer until he can marry her? Meng Yu felt he was about to lose control.

The mere thought of Gan Cai'er and Lan Tingzhou's constant affection and inseparable companionship only intensified Meng Yu's violent murderous intent.

He desperately wanted to tie Shen Yunxi up and send her to Lantingzhou's bed, but when he thought of Shen Yunxi's love and meticulous care for Fu'er in his previous life, he had to suppress this crazy thought.

Wait, wait a little longer. Meng Yu took a deep breath, trying to convince himself. Once he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he would immediately snatch Gan Cai'er away, not waiting even a day longer!

When Gan Cai'er came out along the covered walkway, she saw Xiao Hong glaring angrily at Feng Zhao, while Feng Zhao sat motionless to the side, his eyes downcast.

"Release her pressure points," Gan Cai'er said as she walked over.

Feng Zhao glanced at Gan Cai'er, then silently tapped Xiao Hong a few times in the air. Finally, Xiao Hong was able to move again.

The first thing Xiao Hong did after regaining her mobility was to lunge at Feng Zhao. Feng Zhao shifted his stance slightly, dodging Xiao Hong's outstretched arms perfectly. Xiao Hong became even angrier and turned to pounce again.

"Xiao Hong, please stop." Gan Cai'er pulled Xiao Hong back.

How could she possibly be a match for Feng Zhao? Despite his young age, Feng Zhao is one of Meng Yu's top ten bodyguards, having received specialized training since childhood to protect Meng Yu's safety.

"Pah! You lackey who serves the tiger! I curse you to choke on water, trip on flat ground, eat without chopsticks, and twist your back even when you yawn!!"

Xiao Hong, hands on her hips, launched into a tirade against Feng Zhao. If she couldn't beat him, wouldn't she at least be able to verbally attack him?

Feng Zhao stared wide-eyed at Xiao Hong in astonishment. He had only used acupressure on her, nothing else, so why was he being scolded like this? This girl's mouth is truly venomous.

Gan Cai'er also had a headache. She rubbed her forehead and then dragged Xiao Hong away.

When Gan Cai'er and her servant returned to the inner hall's warm pavilion, there were already many more people inside than before. They sat scattered in twos and threes, some on the left and some on the right. Looking around, the room was completely full of people.

Gan Cai'er looked around carefully but still couldn't see Zhao Cen and Ding Peilan. She figured they wouldn't be coming today. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Madam Lan, you're finally back. I was just sending people everywhere to look for you."

A young woman wearing a royal blue embroidered long coat walked up to Gan Cai'er and smiled warmly and kindly.

Gan Cai'er looked puzzled; she didn't recognize the woman.

"My lady is the second young mistress of the Yao family," a maidservant said quickly as she stepped forward.

It turned out to be the second young mistress of the Yao family. Gan Cai'er stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "I wonder what brings you here, second young mistress?"

“Yesterday, my lady was saying that she wanted to have a new plum blossom hairpin made, and today I saw her wearing it. Isn’t that a coincidence?”

“Master, this hairpin looks quite novel to me, unlike the kind you often see in the capital. I came to see you, Madam, so that my mother could see the hairpin in your hair. If she likes it, I will have a jewelry shop make a similar one.”

Gan Cai'er was extremely surprised. What kind of logic was this?

In such a grand mansion as the Minister's residence, would the emperor's mother-in-law be missing a hairpin?

Just as Gan Cai'er was about to refuse, her gaze suddenly sharpened as she saw another "best friend" from her past life: Yao Xuxu!

Strictly speaking, Yao Xuxu couldn't be considered Gan Cai'er's "best friend" in her past life. In her past life, the only people who could truly be considered her best friends were Ding Peilan and Zhao Cen, for whom she had given the most. Yao Xuxu, because of her good relationship with the two, had more contact with her.

In her past life, Gan Cai'er unilaterally treated Yao Xuxu as a friend, always thinking of her whenever she had something good. She would send Yao Xuxu whatever she needed, but Yao Xuxu was always indifferent to her and looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.

This once made her feel very inferior.

Perhaps Gan Cai'er's gaze was too focused, because the second young mistress of the Yao family followed her gaze and then saw Yao Xuxu.

"Mrs. Lan, do you know my Xuxu?" Mrs. Yao asked with a smile.

Gan Cai'er's eyes darted around, recalling some old stories from her past life, and she replied with a smile.

"I wouldn't say we know each other, I just saw her once a few days ago when I was browsing a jewelry shop. At that time, I felt that this young lady had an extraordinary temperament and admired her greatly. I never expected to meet her again today, especially since she is a young lady from your family."

"Xuxu is the orphan of a distant relative of mine. She was raised in the manor from a young age and grew up with the young ladies of the manor. As for her looks and temperament, she is indeed top-notch, completely outshining the legitimate young ladies of the manor."

Although Madam Yao praised her with a smile, her words were full of subtle sarcasm, and she also pointed out Yao Xuxu's status as a guest in someone else's home.

Gan Cai'er suddenly realized why Yao Xuxu was in such a predicament in her previous life.

Yao Xuxu wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a wonderful temperament. Her reserved and serene demeanor was like a rare orchid in a secluded valley; she exuded elegance simply by standing there.

This understated elegance is precisely the kind of beauty that Kyoto currently admires and reveres.

Therefore, Yao Xuxu was considered a top beauty in Kyoto. It was a fact that she outshone the other young ladies of the Yao family.

But Gan Cai'er knew how difficult it was for Yao Xuxu to maintain this serene and serene beauty. Because she was very short of money.

Yao Xuxu's beauty appears natural and unadorned, like a lotus emerging from clear water, but in reality, it costs money in every aspect. In her past life, Gan Cai'er helped her a lot, secretly giving her many nice things.

But this ingrate took everything, then turned around and looked down on Gan Cai'er, saying she was vulgar and not presentable, and refused to associate with her.

In her past life, Yao Xuxu always kept her identity a secret and was unwilling to talk about it. From her ambiguous words, Gan Cai'er always thought that she was a young lady who was suppressed and endured humiliation in the mansion, and she felt sorry for her a lot. She never expected that she was actually living in someone else's mansion.

The Yao family is already fulfilling their kinship obligations by taking her in, yet she still spreads rumors and gossip outside... She truly is the ultimate ingrate.

It seems I'm not the most unlucky one after all. Suddenly, Gan Cai'er felt a surge of goodwill towards the Yao family.
