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

"Yes," Siji replied softly, then ordered someone to lift up Granny Ling.

Granny Ling stared intently at Siji, shouting at the top of her lungs, "You can't do this! I'm the one who saved you!"

However, Siji seemed to ignore her and continued to slowly approach Granny Ling. No matter how desperately Granny Ling struggled, Siji still managed to force a pill into her mouth.

A moment later, Granny Ling weakly coughed up a mouthful of blood and was dragged away by the guards.

"Hmm, well done." Madam He nodded slightly, her expression revealing a hint of satisfaction with Siji's actions. Her gaze casually fell on the gold hairpin on the ground, and she said nonchalantly, "This hairpin is a reward for you."

Siji slowly moved to the hairpin, bent down to pick it up, and then gently wiped it with her sleeve. In the blink of an eye, the dust that had settled on it from falling to the ground disappeared without a trace, and the hairpin regained its dazzling brilliance.

Siji took the hairpin, bent down slightly, and handed it to Madam He, saying in a low voice, "This servant dares not accept it, and hopes that Madam will take it back."

He looked slightly surprised, raised her eyebrows, and asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Siji kept her head down, and a soft voice came from beneath her fine eyelashes: "This is a precious gift from the general to the lady. I am of lowly status and dare not take it for myself."

After saying that, she wrapped the hairpin up and gently placed it on the small table next to Madam He.

Madam He gazed at the young maidservant, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and suddenly laughed, her laughter clear and crisp: "You little girl, you are quite well-behaved and sensible."

The hairpin was indeed a gift from the general, but Madam He didn't like it much, so she just threw it on the ground... Unexpectedly, this little maid knew how to cater to her thoughts, which pleased her greatly.

Indeed, Siji has always done things in accordance with her wishes.

……

As Xiao Ran approached He Shi's courtyard, she saw guards hurriedly carrying a person away. A sense of unease crept into her mind; why hadn't the person being dragged made a single cry? Could it be…

She shook herself gently, then stepped into the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, a woman dressed as a maidservant stepped forward and blocked her way. Xiao Ran looked closely and realized that she recognized the maidservant; it was Yinxing, He Shi's personal maidservant from her previous life.

But... why is she here guarding the courtyard gate today?

"Miss Ran, is there something important that you've come to see Madam?" Yinxing asked, her tone showing no fear of Xiao Ran whatsoever, but rather full of wariness, as if deliberately trying to prevent her from going any further.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran understood immediately. It must be because Madam He had never given her the respect she deserved in private, to the point that even the maids in this courtyard dared to act so recklessly, completely disregarding Xiao Ran.

A cold laugh escaped from the corner of her lips, and Xiao Ran chuckled softly:

"What? Can't I visit my aunt if I have nothing to do? Don't forget, this is the General's Mansion, not just your master's residence. In the end, you don't respect me, the daughter of a general!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of fear finally flashed across the maid's face. She hurriedly curtsied and repeatedly said:

"This servant dares not, I will take you in now..." Her words were full of panic and flattery, a stark contrast to her previous arrogance.
