Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 6: 6 will no longer be bullied by anyone

Huayue and Zirong were both empathetic and righteous individuals. Huayue came to the City Lord’s Mansion to work as a caretaker for her elderly and sickly grandmother. Zirong’s situation was more complex; he had a fiancée from a childhood betrothal, but this fiancée later fell seriously ill and needed the Green Bamboo Vine as a medicine. Moreover, it was required every year. The fiancée’s family, originally not wealthy, had spent a considerable amount of money on her treatment. Eventually unable to continue bearing the costs, they told Zirong to take care of her for a while as they dealt with some business affairs. However, they left and never returned, relocating their entire family, completely abandoning Zirong’s little fiancée. From that point on, Zirong committed himself to taking care of his little fiancée, never leaving her side.

These two later became quite renowned, but in her previous life, whether at the beginning or later on, she never had any involvement with these two.

In this life, she intended to make use of them!

She had no intention of easily letting go of her calculations against Fourth Miss Zhao. She also didn’t want her brother Han Feng or her mother to step in on her behalf. She wanted to resolve this matter on her own. In her previous life, she was too soft-hearted, even taking into account Fourth Miss Zhao’s reputation to some extent, which ultimately brought trouble upon her father. In this life... Mu Hanyan’s gaze was icy cold, she certainly wasn’t the same foolishly kind playboy as before. Since Fourth Miss Zhao wanted to use her own reputation to scheme against her, it proved that the woman didn’t care about her own decency at all—so why should she bother worrying about someone else’s reputation?

Mu Hanyan let out a cold, soft chuckle. She had already died once, lost so much, and now that she was alive again, reborn from the ashes in a Nirvana Rebirth, she was no longer as naive and ignorant as in her previous life, nor would she allow herself to be bullied or manipulated like she was at the beginning of her past life! In this life, anyone who dared to humiliate or deceive her—just you wait—she would make sure they ”enjoyed” her ”repayment”. Mu Hanyan’s eyes in that moment were like eternal ice, capturing souls.

Yue Fanling quickly gathered all the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion. Although Mu Rui’an was very indifferent to Mu Hanyan, he was extremely affectionate with Yue Fanling, granting her every request. Besides, Yue Fanling herself had considerable strength and intelligence, well-regarded in the city, and not the type to rely on a man to survive. In other words, if Mu Rui’an were not around, Yue Fanling could manage the City Lord’s Mansion all by herself. Thus, it was not surprising that Yue Fanling could gather all the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion so swiftly.

”Han Yan, choose a few for yourself as your personal guards,” Yue Fanling said happily as she entered the room. Previously, Mu Hanyan had always been stubborn, following in Mu Han’s footsteps and insisting on doing everything herself; though she lacked capability, she never kept guards by her side, sometimes suffering losses in silence. Now that Han Yan had suddenly realized the importance of having guards, Yue Fanling was naturally overjoyed. However, she did not believe Mu Hanyan had a good eye for selecting guards, so she planned to pick a few more reliable and capable ones for her after Han Yan had made her initial choices.

Mu Hanyan got up and followed Yue Fanling slowly to the yard. Observing dozens of individuals standing densely packed, Mu Hanyan understood that, although they appeared respectful to her face, many of them looked down on her.

She laughed to herself; indeed, during that period in her previous life, she was truly a playboy—wilful, arrogant, impulsive, and angry, thinking that having the City Lord as her father allowed her to strut around the city. Although she hadn’t committed any atrocities, she indeed wasn’t well-liked. Of course, these guards didn’t necessarily hold her in high regard either; it was just that with her father as the City Lord, even if they had objections, they dared not express them.
