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

The man under the peach tree stopped his sword dance. Only when she approached did he realize he had been mistaken.

The woman held nothing more than a string of peach blossoms.

"You're drunk, your eyesight must be off! This is just a bunch of peach blossoms."

The woman's voice was playful, completely different from her silent demeanor at the banquet.

For some reason, looking at her innocent and carefree appearance, he felt a wicked thought.

"A string of peach blossoms is just a peach blossom branch. Do you think you can use it to kill someone?"

A breeze blew by, carrying with it a strong fragrance of peach blossoms.

Before Jiang Shaorong could react, the woman had already leaned forward, pointing the sharpened peach blossom branch at his neck.

"Though I hold a peach blossom branch in my hand, my heart is a sharp blade. Young master, please be careful, for I am naturally different from the women at the banquet."

The fright sobered him up considerably.

Sharp blade.

In her past life, she was indeed his weapon.

I just don't know if she can continue to be this sharp blade in this life.

His thoughts returned, and he gazed intently ahead at Duanli, who was intently observing the situation inside.

He smiled and said, "This time, let me save Miss Xiao."

……

Xiao Ran went inside and found that there were indeed signs of habitation.

The place was desolate, with only a few straw mats in the center and a simple stove made of stone bricks.

The child had cried until he was exhausted and fainted. Behind the child was an iron gate, but it seemed that no one had ever opened it. The gate was secured with a thick, rusty iron chain.

That seems to lead to another place... but why doesn't this woman come down from that side? Why does she have to come down from this well...?

There is only one possibility: she doesn't know that place.

The woman was taken aback when someone barged in and asked warily, "Who are you?!"

Although the woman quickly covered her face, Xiao Ran still inadvertently caught a glimpse of it.

She remembered it was the hysterical woman on the day she entered the city.

Xiao Ran immediately put on a warm smile, "My wife, it's me."

The woman paused slightly, then asked warily, "Why are you here?"

"My wife, I... it's embarrassing to say, but..."

Xiao Ran stepped forward, unpacked the cloth bundle in her arms, placed it on the ground, and returned to her original spot.

"It's like this, my brothers and I went to the mountains this afternoon to pick some indigo flowers, and we hope you'll buy them, madam..."

The woman became somewhat angry, "Why should I buy it?! And what right do you have to follow me!"

She scratched her head sheepishly, "Because when we were going up the mountain, I accidentally saw you jump into the well. I thought you were trying to commit suicide, but then I discovered a hidden paradise... I only came looking for you in a panic because..."

"The soldiers at the city gate said that if it cost one tael of silver per person, we could enter the city."

“One or two is enough!?” The woman seemed oblivious to Xiao Ran’s threatening tone.

This was what Xiao Ran changed her words on the spot when she saw the woman's face.

It seems that this woman is still the same as before, wanting to go into the city to see her son.

So, is this child... a replacement for that son?

Seeing Xiao Ran looking down at the unconscious child, the woman took a step forward to block her view.

Xiao Ran looked up with a smile: "One or two is enough! That's what the guard told me secretly. He lost money gambling, so it's okay to let a few into the city secretly."

"Where is he?" the woman asked.

"They're guarding outside." Xiao Ran looked shyly at the indigo flowers on the ground and said:

"I wonder if my wife is willing..."
