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

On her way back to the hospital, Xiao Ran kept thinking about what Afu had told her. After pondering for a long time, she turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.

Before I even got close, I saw my father's trusted confidant standing at the main gate. It was a familiar face; he was my father's deputy general.

In her past life, she had sneaked into the military camp out of mischief and received a severe scolding from her father, but this lieutenant general came to her rescue. In this life, their paths haven't crossed yet; he probably doesn't even know her...

"Uncle Duan."

Duan Yuan was taken aback, then observed the girl in the red cloak. She came riding the wind, and as she approached, she brushed her bangs aside and revealed a big smile.

He was somewhat surprised, and after a moment's thought, said, "This is... Miss Xiao?"

Xiao Ran nodded, "I've heard my father mention Uncle Duan before, and now that I've met him, he truly is a man of extraordinary bravery."

Duan Yuan glanced into the room and chuckled softly, "General, you flatter me."

"Father, who are you with inside? It seems like something important is going on?" Xiao Ran asked, trying to look into the house, but Duan Yuan stopped her.

“Young lady, we have distinguished guests today, you must not approach.”

Xiao Ran was secretly puzzled. Today was the Little New Year, and according to common sense, no one should be visiting her father so late at night. Could it be that something extremely important had happened? But in her previous life, nothing major seemed to have occurred at this time...

Just as she was lost in thought, two people came out of the house.

She spotted her father immediately, accompanied by a man. The two were chatting happily, their faces beaming with joy, seemingly engrossed in their conversation.

As soon as Xiao Mu turned his head, he saw Duan Yuan blocking his daughter's way. He quickly called out to Duan Yuan to let her pass. Duan Yuan immediately released his grip, and Xiao Ran quickly stepped forward to meet him.

She curtsied and said, "Father." Then she turned to greet the man, but when she actually saw his face, she froze.

"Are you that...Brother Jingzhuo from that day?"

Seeing this, Xiao Mu hurriedly spoke, bowing respectfully to the man, his words earnest: "My daughter is young and ignorant; I hope Your Highness will forgive her." He then leaned slightly closer to Xiao Ran and whispered a warning:

"This is the First Prince Rui Chen! You must not address him by his given name. Quickly apologize to the First Prince!"

Although Xiao Ran had some doubts, she still obediently did as she was told.

Before she could even bow her head in greeting, Ruichen grabbed her arm.

He laughed and said, "No need! You're my savior, young lady."

Her savior? She suddenly remembered the first time she met this Brother Jingzhuo. At that time, she was in a bad mood and had accidentally lost her mother's jade pendant. Fortunately, Jingzhuo found it, which prevented a big mistake... So when she saw that he looked weak, she gave him the medicine she had brought from Liuyun Valley.

She secretly observed the prince's complexion... she hadn't expected the medicine to be so effective.

"Savior?" Xiao Mu was puzzled. He had no idea what his daughter had done, and if she had saved the prince, how could he have heard nothing about it? Still finding it hard to believe, he said:

"Your Highness has probably made a mistake... My daughter has been under my supervision the whole time, and she did not do anything to save anyone."

Rui Chen looked at him calmly, his emotions unreadable.

"This is between me and your daughter, it's normal that the general doesn't know."
