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

As soon as Pei Yun entered, he bowed to the group of people by the window, which puzzled Mandala.

This is the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review! Does he need to bow to others? Who has a higher status than him? I presume none of the people in this room are.

Apart from……

She suddenly looked at Xiao Ran with surprise in her eyes, so much so that what Pei Yun said next surprised her even more.

"Young Master, Miss Xiao, I'm late, I've startled you."

Nangong Ming nodded in relief and said, "It's nothing."

Crown Prince!?

She quietly asked the person next to her, "What did he say about the heir apparent?"

The people around her were also surprised, looking at her with a mocking gaze and saying in a low voice, "It seems to be the Crown Prince, that Crown Prince Nangong... There doesn't seem to be any other Crown Prince besides him."

That Prince Yan's son? But...

She just said she wanted Prince Nangong to serve her... Oh no, now there's no way to explain it.

She quickly got up and walked over, but when she got close, Nangong Ming actually took a few steps back in fear. This puzzled Pei Yun, but without thinking much about it, she immediately stopped Mandala from getting closer.

"Oh, Young Master Pei, this is Man Niang, we met not long ago... Do you remember me?"

Pei Yun pondered for a while, but did not move an inch.

It seems there was such an incident, but at that time... it seems I encountered it on the street, and it was a case of "abducting a civilian man".

He looked at Mandala with a hint of helplessness, as if to say, "Have you done this again?"

But Mandala seemed to ignore it and said to Nangong Ming, who was hiding behind:

"So it's the young master! I didn't know, please forgive me. If it's not possible, why don't you come to my residence for a visit? I'll certainly serve you all well then!"

Nangong Ming coughed and said, "No, no need!"

He wouldn't dare go into a den of thieves!

Xiao Ran brushed Nangong Ming's hand away from her clothes, raised her eyes and smiled, but in Mandala's eyes, it was clearly a forced smile.

"Didn't Man Niang say she'd wait and see?"

Mandala's smile faltered for a moment, but she felt a deep resentment towards the woman.

Who is this? To dare to stay by the Crown Prince's side, she must be nothing more than a maidservant, yet she dares to speak to him like that.

She gave Xiao Ran a look, ignored her, and continued talking to herself:

"Your Highness, please don't be so quick to refuse. Why don't we discuss it further?"

Seeing that Mandala ignored her, Xiao Ran laughed out loud, as if it were extremely amusing. Then she gestured to Pei Yun and said, "I think this woman doesn't understand human language. Why don't you punish her properly for me, Pei Shaoqing?"

“This…” Pei Yun turned around and saw that Xiao Ran seemed to be joking, so he decided to play along and said, “Yes.”

Upon hearing this, Mandala shouted, "On what grounds! How dare she, a lowly maidservant, punish a law-abiding citizen like me?"

There was a moment of silence, followed by Nangong Ming's barely suppressed sneer.

I don't know if she was mocking Xiao Ran for being of low social status, or if she was saying that she herself was a law-abiding citizen? It seems like neither of them is relevant.

Pei Yun pursed his lips, but he still couldn't hide the smile that appeared on his lips.

He made a fist with his hand, coughed, and said seriously:

“Manniang, you may not know this, but this Miss Xiao is Xiao Ran, the daughter of the Great General Who Protects the Nation.”

……

...?

Mandala took a step back in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion.

Today is truly an unlucky day—how did I manage to offend someone, and that person happens to be in a high position!
