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

"I don't know, maybe our birth charts clash," Xiao Ran said nonchalantly, her gaze still fixed on Duan Li.

Jiang Shaorong fell silent.

It's impossible for his and Xiao Ran's birth charts to clash.

"Alright. Any findings?" Xiao Ran handed the medicine she was carrying to Duan Li and asked.

"There seems to be a sound not far away," Duan Li pondered.

“There are people living here. There are obvious footprints on the ground, some deep and some shallow, some large and some small, so they were clearly not left by one person. Judging from the shape and distribution of the footprints, it seems that more than one person lives here, and they have been here for quite some time.” Jiang Shaorong did not look at Xiao Ran, but stared into the depths.

"Jiang the Registrar is indeed very meticulous," Xiao Ran said casually.

"It's your job."

Having said that, he walked alone into the depths.

Are you angry? Well, she had never seen Jiang Shaorong angry in her previous life.

She felt a secret sense of satisfaction, knowing she could finally get back at him.

Xiao Ran turned to Duan Li and said, "Let's go too."

Disconnect response.

Soon, a glimmer of light appeared.

A woman's voice, though not very clear, could also be heard.

Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that three days ago, when she and Duan Li were sitting by the well, they seemed to have heard a sound as well.

Before she could investigate further, Chen Zijin and Pei Yun, who had rushed over, disrupted her thoughts.

Xiao Ran's gaze shifted to the tiny footprints on the ground.

Perhaps the child was calling for help at that moment?

As they approached the light, they heard the woman's angry shouts, "Who told you to run away! Who told you to run away?! How will you survive without your mother?"

“You’re not my mother! I want a mother, a mother…” the child sobbed, his voice filled with grievance and fear.

"Tian'er... what nonsense are you talking about? I am your mother, sweetie... Mommy will hug you."

The woman's voice suddenly became tender, as if the child were a treasure she had cherished for a long time.

Feeling puzzled, Xiao Ran peeked through the small crack.

It was the woman in the black robe; she was embracing someone…

A child whose entire body is tied up.

The child was dressed in disheveled clothes, and his hair was wet with tears on his face, making him look extremely fragile.

Xiao Ran quickly devised a plan in her mind. This woman seemed to be mentally unstable, so she shouldn't alert her, otherwise who knows what she might do.

She immediately turned around, "She seems to have gone mad. Leave her here and wait. I'll lure her out, then you knock her unconscious, and then..."

She looked at Jiang Shaorong, hesitated for a long time, and said, "I will go and rescue the child."

"Aren't you afraid there might be someone lying in ambush inside?"

Jiang Shaorong raised an eyebrow, his gaze deep.

“Although I have no weapon in my hand, I have a sharp blade in my heart, which naturally makes me different from Jiang Lushi,” Xiao Ran provocatively said.

After Xiao Ran's figure disappeared behind the door, Jiang Shaorong chuckled softly.

He had heard that phrase before.

It was a spring banquet.

Perhaps because he had a pleasant conversation with his friend, he came to the pavilion alone, slightly tipsy.

Through his hazy, drunken eyes, he saw a person dancing with a sword under a peach tree, the peach blossoms swirling and falling freely, like a fairy in a celestial realm.

He recognized the woman; she was General Xiao's daughter, who stood out among the noble ladies. Whether it was bad luck or something else, the ballad-writing contest always ended up with her, and she could only remain silent.

Everyone laughed at her for being a good-for-nothing.

He chuckled softly, but then angrily shouted, "Who goes there?!"

"Weapons are prohibited at banquets, didn't you know that?"
