After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Xiao Ran nodded slightly, her thoughts suddenly drifting back to the scene at Yindu Temple. Shen You and Luo Rou seemed to have mentioned studying at Guangwen Hall before.

She looked puzzled and asked, "Sister Shen, why is it the word 'also'?"

Shen You then realized what she had just said and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

At this moment, Luo Rou spoke up, her tone carrying an explanatory tone.

“A few days ago, I was naughty and accidentally broke my father’s treasured jade bottle. My father was so angry that he confined me to my room for half a month.”

Xiao Ran had her own thoughts on the matter.

She clearly remembered that just moments before she fell off the cliff, it was Luo Rou who called Shen You down the mountain.

That's why she lost her greatest protection, giving Chen Ruonan an opportunity to kill her.

Fortunately, she had noticed it beforehand, and she also remembered that when she was trying to get information out of Chen Ruonan, Chen Ruonan clearly said the name Luo Rou...

She didn't think it was just a coincidence. It seemed that this seemingly quiet girl was not as innocent as she appeared.

Xiao Ran's lips curled up into a smile.

"I see, Sister Luo Rou. We should cherish this opportunity, don't you think?"

Luo Rou was taken aback. She felt that there was a deeper meaning in Xiao Ran's words, but she had no choice but to answer, "Yes, yes."

Xiao Ran seemed to suddenly remember something and grasped Shen You's hand: "By the way, Sister Shen You, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to get together with Ran'er alone? You've been busy these past few days, but you're free today. Why don't we go to Ya Ju Xuan to have a chat?"

Shen You was taken aback at first, not expecting Ran Mei to be so enthusiastic, but she was naturally willing.

She originally proposed this idea to atone for the incident at Yindu Temple, and now it would be a good opportunity to dispel the guilt in her heart.

“Okay!” Shen You said, then turned to Luo Rou and said, “Luo Rou, you should go back first.”

Xiao Ran also said to He Wan behind her, "Wan'er, you should go back to the manor first and inform Father that Sister Shen You and I will have a short get-together and then go home later."

He Wan seemed to be thinking about something, but quickly agreed and got into the carriage with her book bag.

Xiao Ran followed Shen You and boarded the Grand Tutor's carriage.

The carriage was quite spacious, and its exquisite decorations were in no way inferior to those of the General's Mansion. Moreover, the interior of the Grand Tutor's Mansion carriage was extremely elegant, with incense burning, neatly arranged writing brushes and ink, well-organized books, and several potted green plants as decorations.

Shen You brewed a pot of tea, handed it to Xiao Ran, and asked, "Who was that woman just now?"

Xiao Ran took a sip of tea, her expression indifferent.

"She is a distant cousin who stayed at the General's Mansion a few days ago, named He Wan."

Shen You was a woman with a delicate mind, much more perceptive than the carefree Nangong Ming. She immediately realized that Xiao Ran didn't seem to like this woman.

Shen You nodded slightly, her tone carrying a hint of intriguing meaning.

"In that case, I wonder when this woman will be able to return to 'her' home."

Xiao Ran simply smiled and gently shook her head: "She has no home anymore."

Shen You was startled, but quickly regained her composure.

"Then she must be looking for a new home. Ranran, you have to be careful. There are plenty of women like this in the capital. They are all good at using seductive tricks."

Xiao Ran hadn't expected Shen You to have such thoughts. She had thought He Wan would still be able to win everyone's favor, just like in her previous life.

However, it's hard to say for sure. If Shen You spends more time with He Wan, she might be won over.

Xiao Ran had already given up hope, after all, she and Nangong Ming had such a good relationship in her previous life—

But He Wan didn't even need to beckon him with her finger to lure Nangong Ming away.
