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

The street was bustling with activity, and vendors were calling out their wares. As a peddler carrying a load of pastries passed by her, a faint aroma wafted through the air.

Xiao Ran took out a jade pendant from her bosom.

“Found him.” Her eyes held an unreadable emotion: “He is the man in black at the Summer Palace that day.”

Chen Zijin exclaimed in surprise, "It's him? Isn't Miss Xiao in great danger?"

Xiao Ran lowered her eyes and gripped the jade pendant tightly.

A lamb entering a tiger's den—how could it not be dangerous? If it were Huyan Ming who captured her, she couldn't even guarantee she'd come back alive…

But the person who arrested her was Hu Yanyu, and it was Afu.

She had previously guessed that Afu's identity was unusual, but she never expected him to be the Yehu of an enemy country. Their positions were different, making them natural enemies.

Hu Yan still wants her to marry him...

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Chen Zijin cautiously asked, "Then how is Miss Xiao?"

Xiao Ran came to her senses: "He's dead." She murmured, "I killed him."

Chen Zijing's eyes lit up: "That's great, Miss Xiao has finally avenged her enemy."

"That's it."

Hu Yanyu should be dead by now. Even if Mu Feng understood her hint and gave Hu Yanyu the medicine, could he really hold on until he returned to Xixia?

Furthermore, even if he returned to Western Xia, given Huyan Kule's temperament, he probably wouldn't survive...

Chen Zijing was somewhat puzzled. Why did Miss Xiao seem a little off? Shouldn't it be a joyful thing to kill one's enemy?

She stopped thinking about anything else and handed Xiao Ran a small box and the key to the vault.

“Miss Xiao, this teahouse belongs to you. Here are the income and expenditure records for the past two years, as well as the key to the cash register. Zijing has been overstepping her bounds for two years, and now that it is being returned to its rightful owner, it should all be under your management.”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle and handed it back to her: "Zijin, you've managed all of this yourself, how can you say it's mine? You've helped me take care of the maids, I don't even know how to thank you enough..."

She pondered for a moment, then said, "How about I hand this teahouse over to you?"

"Absolutely not!" Chen Zijin hurriedly shook her head.

Xiao Ran forcefully shoved the things into Chen Zijin's hands: "Zijin, I have more important things to do."

Chen Zijing paused slightly, then took the box: "Is it dangerous?"

"I'm not afraid of any danger." Xiao Ran smiled slightly. "Have you forgotten? I've even found the mastermind behind this. What's there to be afraid of?"

She handed the jade pendant in her hand to Chen Zijin.

"Give this to Xiaolan. This jade pendant used to belong to her sister. It's a way to leave her with a keepsake."

Although the exact relationship between Hanxiang and Huyan was unknown, Huyan had saved the sisters' lives, and their connection was one of goodwill.

Good relationships should be cherished.

Upon returning to the manor, Xiao Ran's first action was to summon Granny Ling.

Granny Ling said with a fawning expression, "Young lady, you've finally remembered me..."

Xiao Ran didn't look at her, but slowly picked up a pen and paper and started writing something.

"Have you accomplished what I asked you to do?"

Granny Ling replied excitedly, "Of course! How could I dare to neglect what the young lady has instructed? At that time..."

Granny Ling rambled on and on, showing how hard she worked and how much she cared about Xiao Ran's words.

Xiao Ran put down her pen and paper, folded it, and handed it to her: "Give this to my father this evening and tell him I have something very important to do."

She raised her eyelids: "I need you to arrange a meeting with that person. Is that possible?"

Granny Ling was slightly taken aback: "This..."

“I don’t support useless people,” Xiao Ran said. “You paused, does that mean you can do it, or…”

Xiao Ran stared at her coldly: "Do you still have feelings for your former master?"
