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

Heading east, it only took two months to reach the capital.

Xiao Ran lifted the carriage curtain.

There were quite a few people on the street, and it seemed that there were a few more tea shops on both sides. People who were in a hurry were eating tea and resting. But when this caravan of carriages approached, they all looked up at it.

"The general is back!"

"Our great general has returned in triumph!"

Praises rose and fell.

Xiao Ran slowly lowered the curtain, but this action seemed to be noticed, and the crowd began to discuss it.

Who is this young lady?

"It seems to be General Xiao's eldest daughter. Do you remember the adopted daughter of the Xiao family who married the Fourth Prince? This is her older sister!"

"So it was her!" One of them bowed and frowned slightly.

Xiao Ran's heart skipped a beat.

She was used to this scene; next, they were going to talk badly about her...

"Truly, women are just as capable as men!" the man exclaimed. "Although that adopted daughter married well, with all that elaborate wedding procession, I think Miss Xiao is the real dragon among women!"

“That’s right! My mother always complains that I’m not as capable as Miss Xiao. She doesn’t even realize how good Miss Xiao’s reputation is in the capital. All the noble ladies praise her. Who would dare to say a bad word about her?”

Another person exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, stop talking, she's coming over..."

"Let's pray to her; maybe we can get some good luck from her."

"it is good……"

The following words became increasingly exaggerated, to the point that Xiao Ran even doubted whether she had come to the wrong place.

Previously, her reputation in the capital was so bad that everyone avoided her like the plague, but now they are chasing after her and even comparing her to a superstitious object.

It's incredible.

However, after experiencing so much, she still kept a watchful eye. Although she didn't know who was behind it, she knew that praising someone to death was a kind of scheme.

Her expression was calm, which made Yunfu, who was riding in the same carriage with her, wonder: "Sister Xiao, they are so hospitable to you, but why do you look unhappy?"

“Yunfu, things in the capital cannot be judged by appearances alone.” Xiao Ran straightened the carriage curtain: “The more they want you to see, the more dangerous it is.”

Yun Fu was confused. She was simple-minded, but fortunately, she listened to Xiao Ran's words and nodded as if she understood.

The group parted ways in the city center.

Chu Ling went to the post station, Duan Rong went home to visit his family, and Yun Fu wanted to go with Xiao Ran, so they all went back to the general's mansion together.

Outside the general's mansion, Madam He was already waiting there. When she saw them, she excitedly came to greet them.

Today, Madam He was dressed in a dark green brocade robe, her black hair was piled up behind her head, and she wore kingfisher feather and pearl earrings. She looked dignified and elegant, like a matriarch of the household.

Her complexion was rosy, and she seemed to have been doing well these past few years.

"General! You've finally returned! I've been praying before the Buddha every day, hoping for your safe return..." Madam He wiped away her tears that were about to fall: "Heaven has taken pity on us, and now our wish has finally come true..."

As before, He Shi relied on her gentleness and weakness to win.

But her father was swayed by this. Xiao Mu stepped forward and helped her up, saying, "I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine."

Seeing the two so affectionate, Yunfu couldn't help but purse her lips: "Why is this woman acting like it's a matter of life and death? Shouldn't the general be happy to return victorious? Saying such unlucky things, I really can't bear to see you two doing well."

Xiao Ran chuckled.

Yunfu's complaints naturally reached Madam He's ears. She slowly turned around and asked, "And who is this?"

Xiao Ran stepped forward: "She is the cousin of the Chu general."
