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

"You quack!"

Granny Zhao pushed the door open forcefully and shouted.

Duanli immediately stood up on guard, his murderous gaze making Granny Zhao feel somewhat deflated.

But soon she disregarded everything else and rushed towards Xiao Ran, shouting, "If my son dies, this old woman won't live either!"

Duan Li reacted quickly, swiftly using his sword sheath to block the crazed Granny Zhao.

But Granny Zhao mustered her courage and glared back angrily with red eyes, "Go ahead and kill this old woman if you dare, I don't want to live anymore anyway!"

Xiao Ran took a sip of tea and calmly watched everything unfold.

"You say I'm a quack doctor, what makes you say that?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Zhao became even more furious. "My son has been vomiting and having diarrhea ever since he drank the congee you gave him this morning. Now he looks like a ghost and is lying unconscious on his bed. He's just one step away from the King of Hell!"

Xiao Ran didn't deny it, but instead asked, "Is that so? Then why are you alright?"

"I..." Granny Zhao choked.

She was relieved to receive so much congee from Xiao Ran that morning, as her precious son had been bedridden and couldn't eat any dry, coarse grains.

So she fed her son some congee, and to her surprise, he had a great appetite and finished the whole thing.

She originally thought that since her son could eat, he would get better, but she never expected that he would start vomiting and having diarrhea shortly after eating.

The bed was covered in vomit and excrement, and it stank horribly, so she immediately ran out.

But she was furious. Regardless of whether it was the congee that caused it, she went straight to Xiao Ran to demand an explanation.

"You weren't the only one who came to ask for porridge, so why was it only your son who got into trouble? Do you mean that my daughter deliberately harmed your son?" Xiao Ran looked calmly at the woman.

"Of course it is! It must be because you started to hate us a few days ago..."

Granny Zhao continued to argue her point, but Xiao Ran found her reasoning utterly ridiculous.

Xiao Ran laughed out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Granny Zhao was enraged, but fearing that the young swordsman beside her would take her life, she finally sat down on the ground like a rogue.

She cried out, "You all think I'm an old woman and easy to bully. My poor husband died so young..."

Xiao Ran simply shook the teacup lid, calmly took a sip of tea, and remained silent.

Duan Li understood what Xiao Ran meant, and kept her eyes fixed on Granny Zhao, not letting her get any closer.

After making a fuss for a while, Granny Zhao realized that no one was paying attention to her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Xiao Ran spoke up, "You've been making a scene here for so long, aren't you afraid something might happen to your son?"

"Or do you simply not care about your son?"

The woman was slightly taken aback.

Actually, she came to make a scene because she was unsure of herself, since she hadn't drunk the porridge...

Moreover, this young girl has a connection with the head of the gang. If she could frame this Miss Xiao...

Even if something really happens to her son, she can still find someone to reason with.

But I never expected that this Miss Xiao would be so eloquent.

However, there is still a way!

Granny Zhao rolled her eyes twice, pretended to wipe the corner of her eye, and said, "Fine! You quack doctor, I'm going to tell the boss about you right now!"

Having said that, he got up and left looking dejected, as if afraid of staying there even a moment longer.

Seeing this, Duanli finally lowered his guard.

He just didn't understand...

He turned to look at Xiao Ran, only to see her slowly stand up and walk towards the medicine cabinet to get her medicine.

"I guess you want to ask me whether or not I drugged her son?" Xiao Ran picked up the small medicine scale on the cabinet and measured it, saying nonchalantly.

"So do you think I drugged you?" Xiao Ran suddenly looked up at him.

Duan Li was taken aback by this sudden question. After thinking for a while, she said, "Young lady, healing the sick and saving lives is the work of a divine physician. It is impossible for you to prescribe medicine."

Xiao Ran chuckled upon hearing this.

"I did indeed administer that drug."

"However, you're right, I did it to treat and save lives."

……

As evening fell, crows swept across the rooftops, taking advantage of the twilight to slowly fly towards the distant mountains.

Startled by the commotion below, it stumbled and quickly sped away.

"Miss Xiao has arrived!" The burly man outside the council hall hurriedly announced to the inside as soon as he saw Xiao Ran walking slowly towards him.

Xiao Ran seemed unsurprised by this and stepped across the threshold.

The head of the gang was a little anxious and quickly got up to greet her.

“Miss Xiao, you’ve finally arrived. This…” The leader glanced at the person sitting next to him.

Xiao Ran also looked in that direction.

The person sitting there was Granny Zhao. She sat in the chair with an impolite expression and didn't even glance at Xiao Ran.

He stared at the chief and said, "Chief, I know I am of lowly status and cannot compare to those born into wealth, but we are in the village now! You said that in the village, people are equal regardless of wealth or status, and a life is worth a life!"

"No, after all, Miss Xiao is someone from above, and our village can't afford to take that responsibility," the chief refused.

"Then you should make her return the son I raised with such hardship!" Granny Zhao said fiercely.

"..." The leader remained silent.

Seeing this, Granny Zhao turned to look at Xiao Ran with disdain and said, "I don't want her dead either, but my son is gone. There's nothing wrong with letting her recognize me as her godmother, is there?"

The chief was extremely surprised upon hearing this.

He had only told the woman Xiao Ran's identity to discourage her, but he never expected that she would quickly come up with the idea of ​​currying favor with the powerful!

Xiao Ran chuckled and said, "You want to be my mother?"

“Why not? I raised a son to adulthood!” Granny Zhao retorted.

"You may not know, but my mother is already dead." Xiao Ran looked over calmly, but her gaze made Granny Zhao feel a little uneasy.

"Do you know how my mother died? She must be a vengeful ghost haunting someone now."

Certain thoughts arose spontaneously, and Zhao Po couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought of the incense burner that she kept in the house every day.

At this moment, Xiao Ran spoke again, "Or do you want to be this vengeful ghost?"

“I didn’t, I didn’t say that. I just said I would be your godmother…” Granny Zhao stammered in rebuttal.

Xiao Ran covered her sleeve and chuckled softly until Granny Zhao felt a little creeped out. Then she said, "There's no need for godmothers. I'm afraid if I have too many godmothers, my mother in the afterlife will be jealous."

She then changed the subject, "But have you seen your eldest son?"

Suddenly, the head of the gang thought of something and said, "That's right, Zhao, you've been staying here since noon. How can you prove that something happened to your son?"

"I..." Granny Zhao stammered, unsure of what to say.

After all, she only saw her son vomiting and having diarrhea, and fainting on his sickbed; she didn't actually see him die.

"Boss," Xiao Ran cupped her hands in greeting, "why don't we go to Granny Zhao's house together?"
