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

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao on the stage forgot all about telling stories and hurriedly apologized before rushing to Xiao Ran's side.

"Auntie! You're back..." Chun Tao's eyes widened in disbelief, then reddened. "Am I dreaming...?"

Xia He also ran out of the kitchen, hurriedly dried her hands, and then pinched Chun Tao's cheek with a smile: "Does it hurt?"

Chun Tao cried out in pain, covering her face: "It hurts..."

"Then it's not a dream!" Xia He looked at Xiao Ran and smiled gently, "Miss has really returned!"

"girl!"

Chuntao rushed into Xiao Ran's arms.

"Alright, alright, I'm back now, don't worry." Xiao Ran patted their backs while coaxing the two maids.

Chen Zijin, who was standing to the side, also burst into tears of joy, silently wiping away her tears.

Xiao Ran looked at her and nodded gently: "Zijin, you took very good care of them, thank you."

Chen Zijing shook her head slightly: "It's all thanks to your good arrangements, Miss. If it weren't for you..."

Chen Zijin choked up.

If Xiao Ran hadn't given them a place to go, she wouldn't know if they would still be alive. Sister Xiao was really, really good to her...

Chun Tao chimed in, "Don't worry, young lady, we haven't suffered any injustice here, not even..."

She wanted to continue, but Xia He stopped her.

The teahouse lobby was crowded; who knows if this will give people something to gossip about?

The group went upstairs to Chen Zijing's room and happened to see Xiao Lan there.

Xiao Ran sat down and looked around: "Zi Jin, do you live here?"

When she went to Huyang County, she received a message from Chen Zijin, who told her that she was in a difficult situation but did not know that she could only stay on the second floor of a teahouse, which was quite dilapidated.

Chen Zijin quickly shook her head: "Miss Xiao, this is my idea. Staying here can help take care of the teahouse business and save us from traveling. It couldn't be more convenient."

Xiao Ran nodded: "You've taken good care of this place."

Chen Zijin blushed slightly and waved her hand modestly, saying "No".

The three maids beside her came over to speak up for her, saying that Chen Zijin had a talent for business and that the teahouse business was so good because of her, the manager.

"It's not just my achievement; without you all, this teahouse wouldn't be able to operate." Chen Zijing smiled, then suddenly noticed Yun Fu standing to the side and asked, "And who is this?"

Seeing that the group was friendly to Xiao Ran, Yun Fu grinned and said, "My name is Gu Yun Fu, and I am General Chu Ling's cousin."

Many people may not have heard of Yun Fu, but the name of General Chu Ling is well-known. He is the newly crowned God of War of Chu, who quelled the internal strife of Chu shortly after taking office.

Chun Tao, being a storyteller, enjoyed collecting stories from various countries and naturally had heard of General Chu Ling's deeds.

Chun Tao exclaimed in surprise, "So you're General Chu's cousin! You're truly extraordinary after meeting you today."

"Hehe." Yunfu waved her hand: "That's because my cousin is amazing, I didn't help much..." She put her arm around Xiao Ran's arm: "My cousin's wife is much more amazing than Yunfu!"

"Cousin-in-law?" Everyone looked at Xiao Ran with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Ran smiled helplessly and said, "Chu Ling is Duan Li."

"!" Everyone was surprised.

Chun Tao was the first to react: "General Chu is the son-in-law!?"

"What son-in-law or not... it's not even close to happening yet." Xiao Ran suddenly felt hot and sat down to drink a cup of tea.

"That's great!" Chuntao grabbed Xiahe and Xiaolan's hands. "From now on, our girl will have someone to rely on! She'll never be bullied again."

Yunfu was puzzled.

Her cousin-in-law was very clever; even if she wasn't ruthless, she would never have ended up in such a predicament. But judging from what her cousin-in-law's maids said, it didn't seem like they were lying...

Could it be that someone really bullied her cousin's wife?!
