My best friends both transmigrated into a book and married powerful officials; she left me and I lef

Meng Youning looked up in disbelief, her amber eyes blinking as if she had heard the most moving words in the world.

Then, she looked at Qi Ran cautiously and asked, "Young Master, are you serious?"

Although the other party concealed it well, he still caught a glimpse of surprise and flattery in their eyes.

Qi Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that this girl's life before entering the manor was indeed not very pleasant.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so happy because of one sentence he said.

Qi Ran immediately replied, "Of course it's true."

"Then You Ning thanks Your Highness in advance." Meng You Ning's face lit up with joy.

After he finished speaking, the air suddenly fell silent.

Meng Youning and Qi Ran stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Young Master," Meng Youning broke the silence first, "Is there anything else?"

Qi Ran exclaimed, then reached out and touched his head and forehead. He shook his hand and said, "It's alright now. You should rest well."

Meng Youning nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

Immediately, Qi Ran strode away from there.

Outside.

"Have you finished disciplining Madam?" Cang Hei asked as he saw Qi Ran come out.

Qi Ran stopped in her tracks, glared at him, and said, "Why are you like this?"

Cang Hei pointed to himself. What happened to him?

"She's just a weak woman," Qi Ran said, looking at him earnestly. "She just wanted to live, is that so offensive to you? What did she do wrong?"

Cang Hei was stunned and muttered under his breath, "That's not what you said just now."

"What are you muttering about?" The dark head received a solid slap from Qi Ran.

Cang Hei quickly looked up, smiled, and gave him two thumbs up. "Young Master is right!"

……

"Grumpy"

Sang Luan touched her rumbling belly.

"I'm so hungry," she muttered to herself.

The food taken from the sedan chair wasn't filling at all.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Yu Po rubbed her eyes, lifted her clothes and stood up, quickly going to Sang Luan to help her get up.

Sang Luan: "What time is it now?"

"It's already past 11 PM."

Sang Luan's eyes lit up, and she decisively braced herself with her hands and quickly got up.

"It's late at night, all is quiet." She chuckled and rubbed her hands together. "Perfect time to sneak a bite."

He turned and gave Yu Po a look, and Yu Po immediately understood. She quickly hid the bedding on the ground and obediently knelt on the prayer mat the next moment.

Sang Luan had tampered with this futon; kneeling on it felt soft and comfortable, and even kneeling on it for a whole day wouldn't be uncomfortable.

Yu Po looked up at Sang Luan and smiled, "Miss, you go ahead, I'll stay here and watch over you."

Sang Luan nodded emphatically.

People don't usually come and go from the ancestral hall, and besides, it's already this late, and the servants in the mansion have all gone to sleep.

Sang Luan and Yu Po changed their outer garments, then smeared ash on their faces before quietly leaving the ancestral hall.

It was completely dark outside, and the moonlight shone down, bathing the earth in a shimmering white glow.

Starlight mingled, tree shadows swayed, and Sang Luan crept from one place to another.

She fumbled toward the small kitchen, relying on her memory.

As Sang Luan passed by a rockery, she accidentally bumped into something, which suddenly made a sound.

It seemed out of place in the quiet darkness.

"Who is it?" A clear, cold voice came from ahead.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer to her.

That voice sounds familiar...

Isn't it Feng Hengzhi?

Why is this person still wandering around outside so late at night instead of sleeping?

Sang Luan gripped the branches in front of her with both hands, her body stiffening as she stood frozen in place, involuntarily gritting her teeth.

This is too unfortunate.

Sang Luan was startled, her breath caught in her throat, and she dared not move. She quickly imitated a cat's meow, "Meow..."

She spotted a pebble in front of her with sharp eyes. Without thinking, she quickly bent down, picked it up, and threw it with all her might in the opposite direction.

She held her breath for a moment, and sure enough, she heard the footsteps fade into the distance.

She leaned half her body against the artificial hill, and the heart that had been in her throat finally settled down.

After realizing there was no movement behind her, she clutched her chest, lifted her clothes, and prepared to leave.

As she turned around, she suddenly bumped into a solid chest, and the man's breath fell down from the top of her head.

A cold wind blew by, and Sang Luan couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Her gaze instantly fell on the person in front of her.

She gasped in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

It was indeed Feng Hengzhi.

Sang Luan was speechless for a moment, and her desire to curse reached its peak.

"This servant greets Your Excellency, the Grand Secretary." Sang Luan realized what was happening and quickly bowed to Feng Hengzhi. "This servant did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

She used a strained voice, which was completely different from her original voice.

Fortunately, she had swapped clothes with Yu Po before coming out and had also wiped her face dirty.

Otherwise, if she were to encounter Feng Hengzhi in her original form, who knows how much trouble she would cause.

Feng Hengzhi looked coldly at the person in front of him.

Was she a maid?

He extended one index finger, placed it on Sang Luan's chin, and lifted it slightly to look at her in the moonlight.

"Where did this ugly monster come from?" Feng Hengzhi frowned, his disdain evident in his tone.

"Please forgive me, sir. I had a serious illness when I was ten years old, and my face has looked like this ever since." Sang Luan's tone was very sincere, but there was a hint of fear in her voice. "I have frightened you, sir. I deserve to die."

"How dare you!" He abruptly released Sang Luan's jaw, as if he had touched the filthiest thing in the world. "Where do you work?"

Sang Luan lowered her head slightly and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I am a cleaning maid in Furong Garden."

The person in that woman's room?

No wonder it's so ugly.

"Step back." Feng Hengzhi waved his hand. "Just like your master, you're repulsive at first glance."

Sang Luan remained silent, her eyes lowered, and turned to leave.

Only after they reached the shadows did they straighten up.

She wiped her face, cursing inwardly, "She's crazy."

They really seize every opportunity to belittle her to the point of being worthless.

The original owner did many wrong things for Feng Hengzhi, and in the end, his family was destroyed and he died without ever getting a second glance from him.

My thoughts were suddenly pulled back by my empty stomach.

Sang Luan quickly found the small kitchen and opened several lids, only to find it completely empty.

"No way, such a high-ranking official, how come his kitchen is so clean?"

She continued her search while muttering to herself.

Finally, in a corner, the lid was opened, and a fragrance rushed into her nostrils.

She ate two without hesitation and then brought two more for Yu Po.

She looked around and, seeing that no one was around and that she was under the window, straightened up slightly.

"Ahhhh!"
