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

The crow had just landed on the tree trunk when it was startled by a sharp cry and flew away, the wind from its wings stirring up the snow on the treetops, which then fell in a flurry.

The door to the woodshed in the courtyard was tightly closed, but through the cracks in the window, one could vaguely see a wet woman huddled on the ground, shivering as if she could not withstand the biting cold of winter.

"Speak! What is this hangover tea? And what does it have to do with the Second Miss?"

As soon as Xiao Ran stepped across the threshold, she saw Chun Tao's aggressive demeanor and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"You're putting on quite a show, but..."

"I was still too soft-hearted."

Before she finished speaking, she picked up the finger-crushing device next to her and slowly walked towards the corner.

Upon seeing this, Yinxing involuntarily shrank back, her eyes filled with a mixture of panic and clarity, completely unlike her usual crazy and foolish self.

As Xiao Ran drew closer, Yin Xing finally couldn't hold back any longer and cried out in a trembling voice.

"I said! I said!"

Xiao Ran then stopped and slowly sat down on a chair, as if her earlier relentless pressure was just a charade, and that she had never truly been ruthless towards Yin Xing.

Yinxing pondered to herself, she was all too familiar with the finger-crushing device. When she first entered the manor, being punished for doing something wrong was common, but once, she was falsely accused of stealing. That time, the finger-crushing device was clamped on her fingers, the pain was like being cut by a knife, as if it wanted to crush her bones.

Since then, her fingers have been afflicted with a chronic condition. Whenever it is rainy or she is overworked, her fingers will ache slightly, and sometimes she can't even hold things properly.

Unexpectedly, the young lady in front of her knew such a hidden secret. Was she... still the same foolish and stupid Miss Xiao?

"What? Can't you hear what my young lady is saying to you? I think you're going to have to experience the feeling of finger crushing today."

As she spoke, Chun Tao picked up the finger-crushing device that Xiao Ran had placed aside and walked towards Ginkgo.

Yinxing glared fiercely at Chuntao, then her eyes darted around, and she turned to Xiaoran with a fawning smile.

“Young lady! The hangover tea was meant to be offered to Madam, but that little wretch Siji intercepted it halfway that day! I was so angry…” As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, her voice choked with sobs, looking utterly aggrieved. “Siji always steals my credit, which has caused Madam to gradually stop valuing me…”

"I know that you are kind-hearted, and Madam often praises you for your kindness and generosity... I beg you to do me a favor!" she said, while secretly observing Xiao Ran's expression, trying to discern a trace of pity from her face.

"Oh?" Xiao Ran chuckled, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes. "How do you want me to make the decision for you?"

Seeing this, Yinxing was overjoyed and quickly lowered her voice, her tone laced with ruthlessness, "Of course, we should drive that wretched girl Siji out of the manor... She bullies me like this, she really doesn't deserve to stay in the manor!"

"Then what benefit would I get from doing this?" Xiao Ran paused, then said, "Or rather..."

What makes you think I would help you?

Yinxing was taken aback. Her gaze fell on the elegant young woman in front of her, who was adorned with gold and silver. Then she looked down at her own wet and disheveled appearance and felt an indescribable bitterness and resentment well up in her heart.

She bit her lip, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, the tips turning slightly white from the force.
