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

"Girl! What's wrong with you?!" Chun Tao stamped her feet anxiously, chattering incessantly. Finally, she glared at Yun Shao not far away and scolded him reproachfully.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't deliberately held me back and delayed things, the young lady wouldn't be in such a state of disarray!"

Yun Shao scratched his head, "I was just haggling with someone..."

Chun Tao glared at him, "How dare you say that!"

"Chun Tao."

Hearing her mistress call her, Xiao Ran finally came to her senses. She stepped forward worriedly and asked, "Miss, what's wrong? I was so worried about you."

"Have you seen Young Hero Duan?"

Chun Tao shook her head. "No, wasn't Young Master Duan with you, Miss? Didn't he tell you?"

"he's gone."

Chun Tao was somewhat puzzled by her young lady's words. If she had said she was leaving, then she was leaving. Why ask them if they had seen Young Master Duan? Could it be...?

She seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yun Shao beside her, only to see that Yun Shao also looked bewildered.

Yun Shao scratched his head: "Brother Duan must have had something urgent to attend to, Miss Xiao, don't worry. If you have any messages, you can ask me to pass them on to Brother Duan!"

Xiao Ran didn't say anything more, but just sat at the table and ate some snacks.

It wasn't until Chun Tao told Yun Shao about her doubts that Yun Shao exclaimed.

"Could it be that Brother Duan has already left! So... so what he told me that day was true..."

Yun Shao recalled the night he collected protection money. When he saw Brother Duan return, he wanted to tease him about his relationship with Miss Xiao, but Brother Duan said something mysterious to him instead.

“From now on…” Duan Li paused for a moment, “…take good care of Miss Xiao for me.”

He was still wondering why he had to take care of him. Couldn't Brother Duan take care of himself?

...Only now did he realize that Brother Duan had intended to leave back then.

Xiao Ran looked up, about to ask some specific questions, but saw that Yun Shao's eyes were red with tears.

His shoulders trembled as he sobbed, “So, he had already decided to leave that very day… It’s all my fault, I was too slow to notice. Life in the garrison was already hard enough, but now… now it’s even harder…”

"Brother Duan!" Yun Shao suddenly lost control of his emotions, broke down in tears, stared wide-eyed at the door, and shouted hoarsely, "Why didn't you take me with you when you left!"

Chun Tao wanted to offer some words of comfort, but when she inadvertently saw her young lady eating her snacks in silence, she knew that her young lady's mood was no better than Yun Shao's.

She sighed.

“Miss, Constable Yun! This person isn’t gone, why are you so sad? Besides, I believe that Young Hero Duan will definitely come back to reunite with you. Now that you are like this, Young Hero Duan will… feel sorry for you!” She originally wanted to say that Young Hero Duan would also be sad, but after thinking about his character, she felt that he didn’t seem like the type to be sad, so she simply changed her words to say that he would feel sorry for you.

Yun Shao seemed to be persuaded a little, and stopped crying and sat back down in his chair.

“Miss Chuntao is right, I shouldn’t be so pessimistic…” After Yun Shao finished speaking, he also picked up some pastries from the food box and ate them, after all, these were the last things Brother Duan left behind.

As he was eating, his fingertips suddenly touched something hard and unfamiliar, causing him to stop eating.

"What is this?"

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Ran immediately got up to check. Her gaze followed Yun Shao's hand to the food box, and through the gaps between the layers of pastries, she could vaguely see something hidden at the bottom of the food box.

After peeling back the pastries, a letter suddenly appeared before their eyes.
