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

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately turned around.

There stood Nangong Ming, dressed in white, and Shen You, who also looked sorrowful.

"Ranran...are you alright?" Shen You stepped forward and took her hand, which she could feel was held very tightly.

“Yes, Xiao Ran, I thought you had already… had already…” Nangong Ming wanted to say the rest, but his choked voice prevented him from speaking.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing now." Xiao Ran held Shen You's hand in return and comforted her gently.

"But what are you two doing here?"

Nangong Ming spoke first: "Today is the day of your funeral. Shen You and I thought we would come to the mansion to bring some of the Shanyun Pavilion pastries that you liked to eat when you were alive."

So they think she's a starving ghost.

Xiao Ran smiled gently, her eyes full of anticipation, and said, "Do you have pear blossom pastries? I've been craving them for a while now."

Shen You's gaze fell on the box on the ground. It was the box she had dropped because she was startled by Xiao Ran's sudden appearance.

She frowned and said, "This box is all dirty, and it was originally intended for... for someone who has passed away. If Ranran wants to eat it tomorrow, I'll take you there myself."

"Mmm!" Xiao Ran replied cheerfully.

She really should talk to Shen You.

Let's talk about why she abandoned her and left Yindu Temple.

……

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xiao Ran made an excuse to send Nangong Ming and Shen You back first, while she headed towards Duanli's house.

As Xiao Ran approached the door, she noticed it was wide open and felt a little strange. She leaned inside and saw Duan Li wiping his sword, with Xiao Mu sitting beside him.

She rushed inside and called out, "Father!"

"Ran'er?" Xiao Mu looked up at her, then glanced at Duan Li, and already understood what was going on.

"You've come at the right time. Yesterday I sent someone to the Kyoto Garrison to inquire, and they said that things have been happening frequently in the capital recently, and there is indeed a shortage of manpower..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran thought about it carefully for a moment, and then asked, "What do you do?"

"They're the police."

Xiao Ran suddenly realized that he was in charge of patrolling the capital. Although the position was a bit low, it didn't really matter.

“Alright,” Xiao Ran nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the side and asked with a smile, “Young Master Duan, what do you think?”

"casual."

“By the way, Father, I’d like to take Young Master Duan to the capital for a stroll today. After all, he’s never been to the capital before, and I want to show him around and let him know what’s going on here,” Xiao Ran said.

Xiao Mu nodded after hearing this, and then walked towards the door, saying as he went, "Well, today was supposed to be the day of the funeral. I guess most of the people who came to pay their respects have already arrived. I'll go and explain to them that you're still alive."

As he reached the door, he turned back to look at Xiao Ran and said, "You! Don't cause me any trouble. The capital is going through a very turbulent time right now..."

Seeing that her father was about to continue nagging, Xiao Ran quickly interrupted, saying, "I know, Father! You should go now!"

Xiao Mu then stopped talking and left without looking back.

After Xiao Mu left, Xiao Ran turned around with a bright smile on her face.

That appearance was somewhat frightening.

"Severance..."

What did my father say to you?
