When Si Muran realized that something was wrong, she fled the scene as fast as she could. Pei Chenshuo did not even see Si Muran when he left the house.

Pei Chenshuo had not only found Si Muran's body in the ruined temple that day, but there was also a man lying beside her. He was obviously dressed differently from the others. He must be the man who had taken Si Muran away and injured him.

Pei Chenshuo had yet to find out the man's identity. Only Si Muran, that stupid girl, would believe the other party's words and obediently let him lead her by the nose.

Pei Chenshuo thought of Si Muran and sighed. Ever since he found out about Si Muran's death, Pei Chenshuo felt empty in his heart. That woman's face and voice kept appearing in his mind. At midnight, Pei Chenshuo would always think about everything he had experienced with Si Muran, causing him to often lose sleep!

Pei Chenshuo let out a long sigh. He did not know what was wrong with him. He felt a pain in his heart when he thought of Si Muran's death!

This sigh was naturally for Si Muran, and not because of the Heavenly Works Canon that she might have obtained.

Si Muran rushed back to the Sun residence. She was so tired that she was out of breath. Her hair was messy and she looked like a lunatic who had run out of nowhere.

The people in the Sun family usually ignored Si Muran's attitude. This way, they wouldn't have any evidence against Si Muran. It would save her from telling Madam about it and causing trouble. However, some people liked trouble.

Si Muran didn't know how she had offended the woman in front of her. She felt a headache when she saw the look on the woman's face. She had just returned not long ago and was just looking for something to eat in the kitchen. Who knew that she would bump into this woman? She had wanted to walk past her obediently, but she was lectured by the other party and said that she didn't have any manners.

No matter how good-tempered Si Muran was, she could not stand the other party's endless chatter. She said," Shut up!”

Si Muran stared coldly at the woman who claimed to be the younger sister of the male master of the Sun family. She couldn't help but think of Si Yunyun. Both of them had probably been pampered since they were young and couldn't tolerate anything that went against their wishes. However, she didn't even care about Si Yunyun, let alone the woman opposite her who was just a paper tiger.

Sun Derong had always been used to throwing her weight around in the Sun residence, but ever since Sun Dezhao had married Wu Xiulan, she and Wu Xiulan had formed a stark contrast. Everyone in the residence had praised the Madam as a capable and virtuous wife, while she had always been the one who was despised by everyone. Sun Derong had once heard someone in the residence talking about her, but that person had been flogged and thrown out of the Sun residence. In the future, no one would dare to talk about Sun Derong behind her back, but her reputation as an evil woman was already set in stone, so she had yet to get married.

Perhaps this was why Sun Derong had found Si Muran eyesore for no reason. The reason was that Si Muran was on good terms with Wu Xiulan, and she and Wu Xiulan were completely at odds, so Si Muran had accidentally become Sun Derong's venting bucket.

Si Muran still hadn't realized that this was the whole story. Otherwise, she would definitely feel that she could die unjustly. Anyone who could act shamelessly and make a scene for no reason was a weirdo.

"I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?!”Sun Derong pointed at Si Muran's nose and scolded loudly.

Si Muran replied indifferently," You should know that when you point one finger at someone else, four fingers are pointing at yourself.”

Si Muran felt that there might be something wrong with her constitution. Otherwise, why was she always attracting trouble?

Sun Derong really hadn't considered the situation that Si Muran had described. She had only wanted to find trouble with Si Muran.

"Are you planning to keep me here and not let me go over?”Si Muran really wasn't in the mood to play such a boring game with Sun Derong. However, she had brought a personal maid with her, so if they really got into a fight, she probably wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

"I want you to leave the Sun Residence immediately. This is not a place for someone like you.”

"I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter. It was Madam Sun who asked me to stay here. If you're dissatisfied with anything, you can tell her. If she wants me to leave, I'll definitely do it.”Si Muran made it clear that she didn't care about Sun Derong at all. She was just a small character.

"Who do you think you are? She was just a village girl from the countryside. If she wanted to stay in the Sun residence forever, there was no way!”From the looks of it, Sun Derong didn't seem to mind blowing things up.

Si Muran was really uninterested in this self-directed act. She couldn't afford to offend him, but she couldn't hide from him, could she? Out of sight, out of mind. It was better for her to turn around and leave. At most, she would take a detour.

Sun Derong hadn't expected Si Muran to ignore her so completely, and her anger burned even more intensely. She swore that she would definitely teach Si Muran a lesson.

Si Muran had no intention of making enemies in the Sun Residence, but now it seemed that she really needed to find another place to go. Sun Derong couldn't tolerate her and might cause some trouble. When the time came, she obviously hadn't done anything, but she would be stained with blood. This kind of situation was definitely not worth it.

But Si Muran hadn't expected Sun Derong to act so quickly. She had actually gathered all the families in the residence to swarm at the door of her room. After all, she was Sun Dezhao's younger sister, so she naturally had some power in the Sun residence.

Si Muran wanted nothing more than to tear Sun Derong apart. She really didn't know why she was so bored that she was going crazy. Seeing that the servants were about to break in, Si Muran had no choice but to light the candles with a lighter, then she gathered all the flammable things in the room into a ball. Finally, she threw all the fireballs out of the window. One of them hit Sun Derong's feet, and her clothes caught fire. She fell to the ground and rolled around. Si Muran didn't want to hurt anyone, so the weapons she used weren't big. At most, they would only scare people. Seeing Sun Derong's flustered expression, she had probably achieved her goal.

Sun Derong returned to her own room in a sorry state. The servants had been ordered by her to come here to serve Si Muran, and since she had already left, there was no need for them to stay. Moreover, Si Muran's intrepid nature was growing by the day.

Si Muran's fear of fire had finally improved a little after this incident. She could not always be afraid of fire. She hoped that she did not have any weaknesses that could be caught by others.

The Sun couple had heard about the fight between Si Muran and Sun Derong as soon as they returned to the residence. Si Muran was unharmed, but Sun Derong had been badly frightened and was still lying in bed.

Sun Dezhao's heart ached for his younger sister, but he knew what kind of person she was. Presumably, she was the one who provoked him first. Seeing how honest Si Muran was, she probably wouldn't have done such a thing if she hadn't been forced into a corner.

Wu Xiulan came to Si Muran's room. Si Muran was a little embarrassed to face Wu Xiulan. Now, his food, clothing, and accommodation were all reliant on the Sun family's relief. In the end, she even caused such a thing.

Wu Xiulan didn't look angry at all. She even asked," Did what happened today scare you?" That sister of Dezhao's has never been a carefree person. I didn't expect that she would find trouble with you this time.”

Si Muran didn't expect Wu Xiulan to not blame her at all. Instead, she comforted her first, leaving her at a loss for words. Si Muran felt very strange for a moment.

"Derong has been spoiled since she was young. You don't have to lower yourself to her level. You know that she deliberately made things difficult for you.”Ever since Wu Xiulan married into the Sun family, Sun Dezhao had treated her very well. The servants in the residence were also not bad. However, it was this sister-in-law who always went against her. She could even imagine that Si Muran was affected because of her.

"Elder Sister, what are you saying? I shouldn't have fought with Miss Sun.”Si Muran could only say this, but she knew that if she didn't resist and fell into Sun Derong's hands, it would be difficult for her to see the sun tomorrow.

"I've already instructed the people in the residence not to bully you. Dezhao should be able to make Derong behave.”

"Thank you for always thinking about me.”Si Muran called her sister willingly. It was rare for someone to sincerely protect her, so she naturally couldn't disappoint Wu Xiulan.

"Since you call me elder sister, you and I are naturally sisters. There's no need to be so polite between sisters. Rest well. I'll go back first.”

Si Muran did not sleep very well that night. It was not because of her own matters, but because she was thinking about how to improve the restaurant's business. During the day, when she was serving dishes in the restaurant, she realized that the restaurant was not even half filled. The sparse number of customers made the restaurant seem very depressed. However, logically speaking, such a famous restaurant should not be like this.

Si Muran only fell asleep when the sun was about to rise. In the end, she only got up when the sun was almost up. It was already past noon, which meant that she had slept for the entire morning. She even said that she would try her best to help Wu Xiulan. Fortunately, she did not place her hopes on her.

When Si Muran arrived at the restaurant, the flow of customers was no different from yesterday. The Sun couple seemed to have gotten used to such a scene. Their calm expressions did not reveal anything.

"Sister, isn't this restaurant a little deserted?”Si Muran hesitated for a while but still asked the sensitive question.

Wu Xiulan smiled bitterly." Yes, our restaurant has been around for many years. It was passed down from Dezhao's father. Business has always been good, but it has been like this for almost five years. We can still make a living.”

He didn't expect this restaurant to have such a long history. However, the longer it was, the more people would get tired. Whether it was visual fatigue, taste fatigue, or anything else, it wouldn't be good for the Sun family's restaurant.

Wu Xiulan continued," There are more and more restaurants around here. I'm afraid everyone has had enough of our food. Many of our regular customers have stopped coming.

"If there are new recipes, would it be helpful to the restaurant?”Si Muran suddenly thought of an idea. If it was just a matter of taste, it would be rather easy to solve.
