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

Jingzhuo's eyes widened slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in them.

"So she's the eldest daughter of the General's mansion."

Xiao Ran frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of doubt and impatience.

“I am the only young lady in the General’s Mansion, so how can I be called the ‘eldest young lady’?”

He quickly bowed and apologized, earnestly saying that he had made a mistake due to a moment of confusion.

Xiao Ran waved her hand casually and took out an exquisite white porcelain bottle from her bosom, handing it to him.

"This medicine has the effect of replenishing qi and relieving cough, which should be of some use to you."

Jingzhuo paused slightly, reached out and took the medicine bottle, but hesitated, staring silently at the white porcelain bottle in his hand without saying a word.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. If you don't believe me, you can have a doctor check it. If you still have doubts..." Before Xiao Ran could finish speaking, she reached out and snatched back the white porcelain bottle, poured out a pill from it, and swallowed it directly.

Upon seeing this, the man's lips suddenly curled into a faint smile. At that moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, and the sickly pallor he had previously displayed dissipated somewhat, replaced by a touch of vibrant life.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I'm just thinking about how I can repay Miss Xiao's kindness by giving her such a precious gift."

Xiao Ran gently shook the jade pendant she was wearing, and a crisp clinking sound rang out in the air.

"Don't worry about it. You've already done me a great favor by helping me find this item."

Jingzhu nodded slightly, but her gaze fell on the jade pendant again. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Does the young lady cherish this jade pendant very much?"

A strange feeling welled up in Xiao Ran's heart, but considering that the other party was just a stranger, she told him frankly:

"These are my mother's belongings."

"I see. Then you must take good care of it in the future, young lady." After saying this, Jing Zhuo looked up at Jin Yun Fang, and after a moment, he bowed and took his leave.

Xiao Ran glanced back as well, but found nothing unusual, so she stopped thinking about it and walked straight out.

What Xiao Ran didn't notice was that at the corner of the stairs on the first floor of Jinyunfang, He Wan was clutching her chest with both hands, breathing heavily, and fine beads of sweat were gradually seeping from her smooth forehead. Her eyes were full of fear and panic, as if she had just experienced a terrible thing.

Not long after, footsteps slowly came from the second floor.

"Wan'er, what's wrong?" Madam He's voice was filled with concern and anxiety. Seeing her daughter looking so frightened, she felt heartbroken and asked softly, "Did that little hussy speak ill of you again?"

He Wan then seemed to wake from a dream and quickly shook her head, "Sister didn't say anything, I... didn't see sister just now."

He snorted coldly, "It's better that we didn't see her. Let her be willful! Wan'er, you don't need to look for her anymore. It's good to let the general see that this little brat is still as unreasonable as before."

He Wan nodded obediently in agreement, bowed slightly, and said softly:

"Wan'er will heed her mother's teachings."

……

As the sun sets and night lights begin to illuminate the night, the darkness gradually fades.

Xiao Ran was strolling aimlessly through the night market.

Actually, most of her anger had subsided. If Madam He hadn't mentioned her mother, she wouldn't have lost her composure for a moment... She just didn't know if her father's impression of her had worsened.

She shook her head. Now that she had spoken so frankly, He Shi would surely take some action. She needed to think carefully about how to deal with it. Moreover, she did not want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life and let others sow discord between her and her father.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the General's Mansion.

She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she heard someone calling her.

"Girl! Girl!"
