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

She suddenly realized something, and her expression turned somewhat displeased.

"What's wrong?" Madam He asked with concern. "Do you not like Siji?" As she spoke, she turned and ordered Siji to leave.

He Wan then came to her senses, and was slightly taken aback when she saw the concerned expression on He Shi's face. She hadn't expected He Shi to care so much about her feelings…

“Nothing,” she said, “I was just thinking about some bad things.”

"Wan'er, don't worry, Mother knows what you're thinking." Madam He took out a box from her bosom, and inside was a lotus hairpin.

He Wan admired the exquisite craftsmanship of the hairpin. The head was a lotus flower made of warm, lustrous jade, with delicate petals, clear veins, and round pearls adorning the stamen. The shaft was crafted from pure gold, with a smooth surface and only a fine meander pattern near the head. The entire hairpin was simple yet refined, fresh and elegant, unforgettable at first glance, and clearly the result of a craftsman's painstaking efforts.

Madam He inserted the hairpin into He Wan's hair bun, and upon seeing it, she said with a smile:

"It is truly beautiful."

He Wan touched the hairpin in her hair, chuckled softly, and asked, "How is Father's health?"

"Him..." When Madam He mentioned this man, her expression became noticeably shy. "He's still the same as always, very lively! Of course, he's in good health."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, so she coughed lightly.

"Wan'er, you don't need to worry. Before long, this General's Mansion will be ours for the taking, and my Wan'er's path will only become smoother from now on..."

"Doesn't Wan'er like the heir of the Yan Prince's mansion? Let me speak to your father, and I'll make sure Wan'er gets what she wants." As she spoke, she chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with her idea.

He Wan scoffed inwardly. It was indeed the same in her past life. After she told her mother that she was in love with Prince Nangong, her mother immediately began to plan how to marry her into the Prince Yan's mansion. At first, she didn't have much hope and was just trying her luck. After all, as a transmigrator, she didn't have any connections, and she had to marry into the Prince Yan's mansion to benefit her mission.

Fortunately, he did get what he wanted in his past life, but the process wasn't exactly glorious...

He actually used her innocence to pave the way, but that's just like He's personality—stupid as a pig.

She walked over to Mrs. He and massaged her shoulders, saying, "Your daughter has no intention of getting married now; she only wants to stay by her mother's side and fulfill her filial duty."

Madam He pulled her down to sit. "You, you don't know how to fight for anything... Do you know that Xiao Ran is on good terms with the Heir Apparent now? Although Grand Tutor Shen and the Prince Yan's mansion have a close relationship, and the outside world always thinks that Grand Tutor Shen's granddaughter is engaged to the Heir Apparent of Nangong, think about it, has anyone said anything bad about Xiao Ran? They only say that Xiao Ran is having an affair with the Heir Apparent, but they don't say a word about the proper conduct between men and women..."

"That's the cleverness of that little vixen. That's why I always thought that you, Wan'er, were still too inexperienced. But as your mother, I can't just sit idly by. Wan'er, you don't need to be too shy. If you really like it, your mother will definitely help you get it!"

Madam He's gaze was sincere and earnest, but how could she not understand? Her mother liked to argue, but there had to be a distinction between high and low, noble and base.

While Nangong Ming was indeed a good person, the ambitious Prince Yan left a hidden danger on her path, which is why she was able to take advantage of this in her previous life and win a better opportunity.

But now… a man she had seen a few days ago suddenly popped into He Wan’s mind, making her break out in a cold sweat.

She paused for a moment, then said, "Mother, I really don't like Nangong Ming."
