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

However, this is the general's only daughter. If anything goes wrong, the general will surely cut off their heads.

Just when they were in a dilemma, Xiao Ran was very understanding and said, "You don't need to tell your father. If he finds out, he will definitely make things difficult for you."

They were overjoyed. With such an understanding girl, they wouldn't be punished. One of them asked, "Girl, what should we do?"

“In that case, my maids know what to do, but…” Xiao Ran glanced at them a few times, then said with some difficulty, “I’ve already given them tasks for me outside the mansion today, so I’m afraid they might be hard to find…”

The servant scratched his head, as if struck by lightning. This would only worsen the girl's condition.

Xiao Ran touched her head again, her expression one of great pain. "I must find my maids within an hour, otherwise... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."

Another servant looked nervous and said loudly, "Why don't you go to the clinic, young lady? It should still be in time to go to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic now."

Xiao Ran was taken aback, then said weakly, "No... it's no use. This is a problem I developed at the Summer Palace. A hermit doctor treated me and left me a prescription. He said this problem is very complicated and no other quack doctor can cure it."

Upon hearing this, the servants were utterly disheartened. They exchanged bewildered glances, when suddenly one of them stepped forward, his eyes filled with determination: "Miss, there's no time to lose. I'll go fetch your maids right now. You are blessed with good fortune; you will surely escape this calamity and be safe..."

As he spoke, he turned to leave, but his slightly trembling voice carried a hint of a sob.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ran felt a pang of self-reproach. However, she quickly rallied and ordered the remaining servants to join the search.

And she herself...

Of course they slipped away.

She quickly found a house by following the route; it was the address of Mr. Wen that she had asked Chun Tao for when she returned home.

She was initially quite uncertain, after all, how difficult it would be to find the address of a complete stranger in the capital. Fortunately, Chun Tao immediately knew where it was after hearing the address. The reason was that Chun Tao and this Mr. Wen had some connection in their families; their mothers actually knew each other.

She pulled herself out of her reverie and looked at the simple courtyard before her. The courtyard wasn't large, and it was surrounded by a bamboo fence. Through the gaps in the fence, she could clearly see a dim, yellow light shining from inside the house.

She walked to the gate and knocked lightly on it a few times.

However, there was no response from behind the door, and the surroundings remained deathly silent, with only her somewhat lonely figure standing in front of the door.

She wondered why there was no response when the lights in the room were off.

Perhaps something is wrong. Maybe she should wait here; it would be impolite to barge in. So she stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the closed door.

However, it wasn't long before a faint, almost imperceptible smell of blood drifted into her nostrils. The smell was faint, yet it pierced her nerves like sharp needles. Her expression changed drastically; she abruptly stood up, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

"Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen?" She pounded on the door, her voice filled with obvious anxiety. "What happened? If you don't speak, I'm coming in!"

She shouted and shook the door violently, but there was still no response behind the door, as if it were a silent abyss shrouded in darkness.

Just as she was thinking about how to get in, she heard a man's voice behind her.

"Aran, move aside."
