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

"What?" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in He Wan's heart. However, after a short while, she reassured herself that it wasn't a big deal. At worst, she could keep quiet, or if all else failed, tell a little white lie; after all, no one would know the truth.

At this moment, the lion dancer suddenly blinked twice and asked, "What does the young lady wish for?"

He Wan did not answer. But the boy in the lion dance continued, "If you don't want to say, that's fine. Just tell me the general direction."

He Wan hesitated for a moment, then glanced back at Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded gently, indicating that she could speak freely.

"Wan'er naturally hopes for the General's Mansion..."

The lion dancer interrupted her, saying, "Young lady, you must tell the truth. After all, no one can say for sure about supernatural matters. If you speak against your conscience, you might be punished by the gods."

He Wan immediately shut her mouth, falling silent. Xiao Ran, standing behind her, could even see that her face was slightly pale; it was clear she was caught in a dilemma…

No! Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized that it was not hesitation, but fear.

Why was she afraid? In her previous life, He Wan was not someone who feared ghosts and spirits. In her previous life, when they went to the mountain to burn incense and worship Buddha with the General's family, He Wan even quoted Confucius's saying, "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical strength, disorder, or spirits." At that time, Xiao Mu highly praised this statement, and Xiao Ran would never forget it.

Xiao Ran deeply empathized with He Wan's fear at this moment. When she was first reborn, she was taken to Yindu Temple by everyone. When facing the gods and Buddhas, she pretended to be calm on the surface, but the fear in her heart could not be ignored. After all, the matter of rebirth was just too bizarre and absurd.

Xiao Ran took a few steps forward and called out softly, "Wan-meimei? What's wrong?"

He Wan then came to her senses, turned around and smiled, saying, "I'm fine." Then, she said to the young man in the lion dance, "What women ask for is nothing more than peace in their homes and a happy marriage. These are also what Wan'er asks for." After saying that, she gracefully bowed.

The boy in the lion dance paused for a moment, then turned around and showed his tail.

"The scope you've described is so broad, I have no idea what it is. But I don't want to take up other people's time, so how about... I'll just touch the lion's tail. Touching the lion's tail brings good luck and smooth sailing. May all your wishes come true."

He Wan smiled gently and rubbed the lion's tail twice. Then she turned to Xiao Ran and said, "Sister Ran, let's go."

Xiao Ran absentmindedly hummed in agreement and then walked out of the crowd with He Wan.

Today, the General's Mansion was busy preparing for the Little New Year. Xiao Ran seized the opportunity and took He Wan out, thinking of buying some candied melons to fulfill the custom of offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God.

However, buying the candied melon was just a pretext. The real purpose was to "test" He Wan, which he had promised his father. But upon closer reflection, it was less of a test and more of a way for Xiao Ran to understand He Wan better and take this opportunity to see her clearly.

Now, Xiao Ran understands.

Why would He Wan repeat the same mistake? Is she overthinking things?

Xiao Ran stopped in front of a shop, and the vendor immediately came forward to introduce his candied melon, but she ignored him and just looked back at He Wan.

“Sister Wan, I’ve looked at a few shops, but none of them are as good as the one at the intersection near the General’s Mansion. Why don’t you take Afu to buy some things first? I’ll just stroll along this street and see if there’s anything else I need to buy.”

"Okay, Sister Ran." He Wan nodded and left with Afu.
