After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 4 Tooth Extraction

Ali nodded: "They are my mother's people."

Actually, that person gave Cui Mama the poison yesterday and then ran back to report to the Second Miss.

The capital is quite a distance from here; it will take at least half a day to get there.

And as expected, Xiao Cui never came back.

Granny Cui was now truly panicked and at a loss for what to do. If only the young lady knew, she could destroy the evidence right now.

But if even the ladies of the capital know about it, then she's probably really doomed.

Anxious, Granny Cui looked up at Ali. She knew that only the young lady could save her now.

It must be said that someone who can sit in the position of head maid cannot be a real fool.

That's a really fast mind!

When it came to a matter of life and death, Granny Cui immediately understood. She knelt down before Ali again and said without hesitation, "Young Miss, I... no, this old servant... this old servant knows I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please, Young Miss, save my life."

Ali quickly pretended to feel sorry for Cui Mama and went to help her up, gently comforting her, "Cui Mama, my mother gave you the position of manager and had you take care of me because of her trust and care for you. And my reminder to you today is also to try and win you back; we all can't bear to part with you."

When the news reached her, her mother was both angry and reluctant. She didn't want to execute you in the first place, but you had committed a capital crime… I have a way to atone for your sins. If you cooperate with me and behave well, I will plead with her when we return to the capital. She will surely forgive you, considering your kindness to me over the years.”

Anyone can slap someone and then give them a piece of candy.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Granny Cui's eyes, but it quickly faded away.

She said listlessly, "Miss, this villa is controlled by the Second Miss, and nothing escapes her eyes."

Of course, Ali knew that the estate nominally belonged to her adoptive parents, but in reality, it was controlled by her adopted sister.

Granny Cui gave a wry smile and continued, "There are many of the Second Miss's people on the estate, and she knows everything we do."

Since the nanny offered this opportunity, how could Ali not cherish it?

We must seize this opportunity to turn the enemy's territory into our own.

Ali feigned indignation: "Hmph! My mother pitied her and raised her in the manor. She treats her better than I, her own daughter, but I never expected to raise such an ungrateful wretch. Does she even have a heart?"

After saying that, he patted his chest, as if he was angry.

Looking at the angry Ali, even though the eldest young lady was referring to the second young lady, Cui Mama felt guilty and lowered her head as she thought about her own heartless behavior.

It's strange that someone who would never hesitate to kill would feel guilty now. Perhaps the young lady's words reminded her of her childhood experiences.

She was originally a young lady from a small family, but the family fell into ruin and she became a beggar, constantly bullied by other beggars. One day, a lady happened to pass by and saw how pitiful she was being bullied, so she took her home, treated her illness, gave her beautiful clothes, and treated her very well.

Granny Cui immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake.

While reflecting on her own actions, she revealed all the various incidents in which the second young lady had plotted against her, and also cursed the second young lady thoroughly.

"I was truly blinded by greed. How could I possibly harm the daughter of my benefactor for the sake of wealth and status? It was all the Second Miss's doing. That Second Miss is truly cunning! She..."

Ali scoffed, watching Granny Cui's energetic performance.

He found it amusing, but being a coward who craved life, was also greedy and lustful.

He's just looking for an excuse to avoid blame and continue living a life of luxury, yet he insists on pretending to be a loyal servant.

The old woman had assumed that the young lady was kind-hearted and would stop her.

But she ignored him, so Granny Cui could only continue slapping herself.

After she had been directing and acting for a while, Ali finally said, "Granny, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you protect me and help me return to the capital safely, I will naturally find a way to plead for you. After all, you have been taking care of me in the villa for so many years. People should be grateful for kindness."

Hearing this, Granny Cui felt even more guilty and lowered her head even further: "I remember how kind Madam and Miss were to this old servant in the past, while I always bullied and even poisoned the eldest young lady. Yet the eldest young lady still remembers my kindness. How could I have been blinded by greed and done something to harm the eldest young lady!"

After saying this, Granny Cui prostrated herself, choking back tears, and said, "Young Miss, I'm so sorry, I was wrong to you before. I was misled by the Second Miss and did things for her. I'm so sorry..."

A-Li quickly helped her up: "Granny Cui, you are someone my mother brought from her maiden home. As a junior, I have always respected you. I also know that you were only bewitched by that ungrateful wretch, which is why you tried to poison me. How could I blame you? I just feel wronged."

Granny Cui wept uncontrollably: "Young Miss, I..."

Ah Li found it amusing, but still put on a pained expression: "Granny, please don't blame yourself. In my mother's and my hearts, you are like family. We are close to you. Please stop doing things for the Second Miss now, okay? Seeing the nanny, whom I treat like family, helping bad people do things to hurt me, my heart aches."

After saying that, Ali pretended to be unable to suppress her discomfort and quickly covered her face and turned away.

I really don't want to continue this pretense.

Ali walked back to the table and sat down, tapping the table with her index finger: "Granny, you should think it over carefully. If you want to follow me, you must show your loyalty."

While showing her kindness, he also kept reminding her of the mistakes she had made, which made her feel even more guilty.

The head maid was startled.

Miss is forcing herself to choose between the eldest and second young ladies, cutting off her own escape route.

He had committed the crime of plotting against his master; in principle, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to die.

The eldest young lady never vied for power before, but now she's starting to fight for it. The second young lady is just an adopted daughter; how can she possibly compete?

As Granny Cui listened to the ticking sound of Ali's fingers, each tick felt like a tap on her heart, urging her to make a decision quickly.

Before long, Granny Cui made her decision and kowtowed deeply to Ali.

"Young Miss, this old servant will eliminate the core forces left behind by the Second Miss on the estate today. This is my sincerity. I hope you will keep your word, save my life, and allow me to serve you well in the future to atone for my sins."

My lady, this old servant is truly ashamed, but of course, the main reason is fear of death.

This move is tantamount to cutting off the second young lady's path, which is enough to show her determination, right?

Ali nodded calmly: "Go down."

She needs to think carefully about what to do next.

A short while later, Granny Cui brought several people to A-Li's door and made them kneel down:

"Reporting to Miss, there is something I need your help with."
