As night fell, she did not go to sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed and began searching for the location of her dantian once again.

What the hell is this dantian?

She remembered her notebook and immediately called it out, "Ben'er, do you have a method for cultivating the Qi in the dantian?"

After searching through the notebook for a moment, a line of text appeared: "Ancient martial arts internal energy cultivation method, exchangeable for 500 luck points."

Xiao You Ran: ……

"Are you robbing me?! No, are you robbing me of my luck points? Do you know how hard it is for me?!" she snapped. "You saw it last time too. I only get 1 point of luck points from the gratitude I received for the great favor of changing Yan Jin's fate!"

The little notebook flashed a line of tiny text: "No, no... If you feed me 1 point, it's equivalent to 10 points of your luck... If you feed me 100 points, I can level up..."

Xiao Youran was furious, "What's the point of leveling up?"

"Yes, yes, this little one is very useful!" The little notebook felt that it could still be salvaged.

Xiao Youran snorted, "Then tell me, what's the use of upgrading?"

The little notebook thought hard for a while before a tear welled up in its eye: "This little one... I need to level up to find out what new skills are available..."

Xiao You Ran: ……

I knew you had an IQ that was close to 250!

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Are there any other martial arts manuals that don't require internal energy or the dantian?"

Xiao Youran searched for a moment and replied, "There are secret manuals for all eighteen weapons and military strategies. You can choose from knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, daggers, tridents, clubs, lances, cudgels, spears, and rakes."

Xiao You Ran: ……

She asked, "Are people throwing stones?"

Notebook: ...

She sighed, looking at her luck value which was less than 500. Oh well, she should think of another way to collect more luck value.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, the little notebook blinked and asked, "Master, is there anything else I can do to help you?"

Xiao Youran rubbed her stomach. "Give me a universal antidote pill."

The little notebook flashed again: "Master, not enough luck points."

Why?

"The Panacea has the character 'panacea' in it, and it requires a certain amount of luck."

Damn it...

Is this really the case that someone with an IQ of 250 has reached?

"I only need one!"

"But it's omnipotent!"

"250!"

"No, you need to order!"

"..."

Forget it, I won't bother arguing with someone with an IQ of 250.

Xiao Youran forced herself to close her eyes and rest, then used 1 point of luck to exchange for an antidote for the drug and took it.

A moment later, a light footstep could be heard outside.

Xiao Youran nimbly leaped down and hid in the shadows behind the door.

Then a hole was gently poked in the window paper, and a bamboo stick was inserted, along with a wisp of smoke.

The Yong'an Marquis's family has been ruling Dingzhou like a local tyrant for so long that even their underhanded tactics for plotting against others have become so low-class.

Upon entering the mansion, they would immediately begin arresting people, or they would directly poison the food. Now, they're using sleeping gas?

hehe.

She could almost imagine that once her kind grandmother and scumbag father caught her, they would first lock her up in a dark room, then curry favor with her stepmother, the princess, then extort a huge sum of money from her mother, and finally, they might even kill her, driving Su to madness or to her death.

They did this for two reasons: first, to seek wealth to alleviate the current predicament of the Earl's Mansion; and second, to eliminate the Su family in order to demonstrate their loyalty to the Princess and the Prince Rong's Mansion.

She sneered, stepped forward, squatted down against the corner of the wall, and then stuck out a finger to block one end of the bamboo.

There was moonlight outside, but it was pitch black inside, so her hand didn't cast a shadow, and the people outside didn't realize that the bamboo had been blocked.

He blew on it for a while before realizing something was wrong, but by then it was too late. He had inhaled some of the sleeping gas and immediately felt dizzy.

He thought his plan had failed, but then he heard a childish voice coming from inside, "Oh dear, I'm so dizzy..."

Then there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Overjoyed, he beckoned his companions before collapsing to the ground, signifying that he had succeeded.

Soon after, three old women came in from outside and pushed open the door.

Little Youran stood casually in the middle of the room, waving to them, "Come, come, Grandma and Daddy are so good to me, they keep finding people to play hide-and-seek with me!"

The three old women looked at Xiao Youran with sympathy in surprise, and without saying a word, they stepped forward and grabbed her.

I thought she was just a little girl. Even if she wasn't drugged, in such a small space, what difficulty would it be for three adults to capture a child? It would just take a little more effort.

As expected, another chase ensued, and the few vases and ornaments that had just been placed in the room, along with the dressing table and its pitifully small glass mirror, were all smashed to pieces.

Incidentally, Xiao Youran also tripped over the tung oil lamp in the corner, instantly burning the new bedding and the gold-threaded cloud-patterned curtain on the bed to ashes.

As the flames rose into the air, Lady Yong'an and Madam Gao rushed over, wailing loudly.

It was truly heartbreaking to hear and brought tears to the eyes of all who listened.

The servants all thought they were crying because Xiao Youran had been burned to death, and they joined in the sorrow.

Suddenly, a small figure was chased by two disheveled old women and emerged from behind the house, leaping out of the sea of ​​fire with hops and bounds.

"Madam, First Madam, the young lady is still alive!" a maid exclaimed joyfully.

Upon hearing this, Lady Yong'an wept even more bitterly.

To get her hands on it, she even pawned her most prized possessions to collect the three-piece set that spendthrift had mentioned.

Gao cried even louder.

She was also thinking that after tonight, she would tidy up the things in the yard and move them all into her room!

Little Youran darted over to Madam Yong'an in a few steps, grinning, "Grandmother, it's so late at night, and you still remember to find someone to play with me! Hehehe, it's so much fun! Thank you, Grandmother!"

Lady Yong'an was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted!

"Oh, Grandmother, I know you're just too frightened. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."

Gao glared at her angrily. "It's because you were perfectly fine that she was so frightened, okay?"

Her gold-thread brocade cloud-patterned curtains...

A pang of pain shot through her heart, and she was overcome with grief, crying even louder...

When Jiang Mingwei arrived in a hurry and saw that Xiao Youran was alright, she hugged her and cried happily.

Xiao You Ran: ……

She's still alive, so why are so many people mourning her?

The next day, Xiao Youran woke up in Jiang Mingwei's room, and Jiang Mingwei helped her wash up.

Su Yue had already brought over the breakfast box and a change of clothes.

After Xiao Youran changed her clothes, Jiang Mingwei sat down to have breakfast with her and exclaimed again, "Delicious! So delicious! I never knew your Zhao Mama's cooking was so good!"

Xiao Youran smiled and said, "Auntie, even if it's delicious, you should eat less."

Jiang Mingwei shifted her plump body, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Sigh, I just can't control myself from opening my mouth..."

Xiao Youran said, "Auntie, we're going to the soup kitchen in the west of the city to distribute soup later. This is a good deed I do every day. If you want to go, let's go together and tell Grandmother. She'll be happy if she knows you're doing good deeds and bringing good reputation to the Earl's family."
