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

Xiao Ran stepped out of the house and looked up. She saw He Shi holding a piece of cloth, measuring it in front of and behind He Wan, with a smile on her lips. She was also chatting softly with Xiao Mu, who was standing to the side.

The scene resembled a harmonious and happy family, radiating warmth and affection.

Xiao Ran took a few steps forward. He Wan, who had been facing her, seemed to only then notice her presence. She slowly put down the fabric in her hand, a sweet smile blooming on her face, and said in a crisp voice:

"Sister, you look absolutely gorgeous in this outfit today!"

Xiao Mu turned his head in response to He Wan's words, his gaze falling on Xiao Ran. He was initially slightly taken aback, but a look of satisfaction quickly appeared in his eyes. However, before he could speak, he was startled by He Wan's sudden, exaggerated exclamation.

"Oh my! Look at her, she really is beautiful. No matter what my Ran'er wears, she is always so radiant and charming."

With a broad smile, Madam He strode forward, grabbed Xiao Ran's hand, and examined her closely from head to toe, looking extremely serious.

But as she looked, He's eyes gradually reddened, and her voice became somewhat choked with emotion:

"Back then, you must have been just as graceful and beautiful as Ran'er, but alas..." She raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then pulled He Wan to her side and held her hand tightly.

"These two poor children, I will take care of them like a mother, and I will never let them suffer the slightest neglect. I will make sure they feel the warmth of home..."

Although He's words were somewhat exaggerated, her pitiful and endearing appearance made Xiao Mu believe it to be true.

The satisfaction on Xiao Mu's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of guilt. He hurriedly stepped forward and gently comforted Madam He.

"Alright, don't be so sad. The children are still here." Xiao Mu's gaze swept over the three of them, then he sighed softly and said gently, "I understand your feelings..."

Taking advantage of the atmosphere, He Wan sniffed slightly, her eyes reddening, and said softly:

"Aunt He, Uncle He, Wan'er is truly grateful. If it weren't for you, Wan'er would probably have frozen to death on that cold street long ago."

"Don't think about things that haven't happened yet." Xiao Mu looked up at He Wan, gently patted her head, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Now our family is all together, living in harmony."

These words sounded so harmonious, as if Xiao Ran should also go up and say a few warm words to show how harmonious their general's mansion was.

But Xiao Ran just chuckled lightly.

"We hear no cries of the old, but only laughter of the new."

Both He Shi and Xiao Mu were stunned by these words, and He Wan also felt a bad premonition.

"What are you saying, Ran'er..." Madam He smiled awkwardly, trying to change the subject. "We've tried on the clothes, it's time to go back to the manor." With that, she was about to leave, but Yunniang came up to her.

“I said, if my mother were still alive, I would probably be just as harmonious as Aunt Ru is now.”

These words implied that if her mother were still alive, He Shi would have been irrelevant. However, Xiao Mu was reminded of the past and the moments he shared with Nian'er by these words, and his heart became heavy.

Madam He gritted her teeth, but she couldn't show it on her face. She just stared intently at Xiao Ran, afraid that she would say something else.

Xiao Ran turned her head and held He Wan's hand tightly.

"If my sister's parents were still alive, the General's Mansion wouldn't be what it is today."

"Aren't you right, Wan-meimei?"
