Young Master Xie didnt expect Li Xiaoran to say this out loud. In the end, he could only nod awkwvardly.
What do you mean?! Actually, I know what others say about me, but I dont care! After all, Im the consort. No matter how jealous they are, they can only watch me be the consort! Li Xiaoran said.
Arent you angry? Young Master Xie didnt expect Li Xiaoran to say that.
Why should I be angry? Just because others are green with envy? Do I have to care about their jealousy? I dont care! I just wanna live my own life instead of getting angry over irrelevant people! Li Xiaoran said indifferently, In this world, as long as one is outstanding, one will be envied! So its normal for others to be envious of me!
Young Master Xie didnt expect Li Xiaoran to think that way.
However, if he were Li Xiaoran, he probably wouldnt be as open-minded as her.
At this moment, the way Young Master Xie looked at Li Xiaoran changed.
Previously, he became respectful because Li Xiaoran was the consort, but at this moment, Young Master Xie really admired Li Xiaoran from the bottom of his heart.
Although Young Master Xie was a rich kid, he wasnt an ignorant and incompetent person.
On the contrary, Young Master Xie was very good at doing business.
After interacting with people over the long term, Young Master Xie knew very well that he wasnt as open-minded as Li Xiaoran.
Although he understood that it was best not to be angry over trifling matters, he couldnt do it!
Therefore, Young Master Xie admired Li Xiaorans open-mindedness and wisdom.
Consort, youre indeed an eccentric woman. You see through peoples hearts and human nature very clearly! I have a lot to learn from you! Li Xiaoran could sense Xie Zhens change, so she smiled.
Actually, its not a big deal. Just by distinguis.h.i.+ng whats worth it and whats not, you can do the same!
With that, Li Xiaoran planned to go back.
Xie Zhen thought of something and asked, Consort, what kind of delicacies do
I need to make in order to buy a shop and a house?
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she stopped and looked at Xie Zhen.
Your delicacy has to be different from others. At the same time, it has to taste good! Young Master Xie, if you focus on cooking, you wont be let down! So, you have to work hard!
With that, Li Xiaoran turned around and returned to the village.
Xie Zhen began to ponder over Li Xiaorans words carefully.
Uncle Wu quickly replied to Luo Cheng.
They thanked Luo Cheng for his kindness, but they didnt plan to do busines, since they had already opened a shop in their house.
However, there was news from the Spring Water Chicken that the mother and son would come over to open a shop.
These two pieces of news surprised Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, If Uncle Wu is unwilling to open a mutton shop, lets tind someone else to do this business! We can also take care of Uncle Wus business and buy mutton from him!
What are you planning to do? Luo Cheng asked.
Li Xiaoran said, I plan to open a mutton shop! I can sell mutton soup, roast whole sheep, and roast mutton skewers!
Do you have anyone you can use? Luo Cheng reminded her.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she immediately became dejected.
It seemed that she really didnt have any manpower!
Li Xiaoran said, Why dont we recruit some disabled soldiers who retired from the battlefield and let them work in the mutton shop?!
For the first time, Luo Cheng shook his head and rejected Li Xiaorans idea of using disabled soldiers.
Xiaoran, I know youre kind-hearted and want to help as much as possible! Its just that Ive accepted enough disabled soldiers at the moment. If I accept more, itll attract too much attention! Going overboard is as bad as not doing enough! If we dont handle it well, well cause big trouble!
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Chengs words, she immediately sensed something.
What happened?
Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, Just the day before yesterday, a group of disabled soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield actually rebelled in the name of overthrowing a fatuous ruler. They listed my fathers ten crimes, which included deducting military salary and cotton clothes, forging weapons, and disregarding the lives of soldiers. As soon as the news spread, my father was enraged! At this time, it would be too scandalous for us to accept disabled soldiers who had retired from the army! When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.
Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and reminded anxiously, Why did such a thing happen at this time?! In that case, we have to send people to keep an eye on the people in our farmstead! If instigators try to cause a rebellion, well be the scapegoats!
Xiaoran, dont worry. I expected this long ago, so I secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on the people in the farmstead! During this period of time, dont go to the farmstead. Bring a few more people when you go out. You must make Shu Ruyue stay by your side, Luo Cheng reminded.
I understand. Ill be careful during this period of time! Li Xiaoran nodded.
After the couple discussed this matter, they stopped worrying about it.
It was useless to let their imagination run wild. In any case, they had done everything they could.
That night, something really happened at the farmstead.
Someone actually set fire to the farmstead at night.
One had to know that many people lived in wooden houses on the farmstead.
Previously, there was no place to house everyone, so they built this wooden house.
Now that the house in the farmstead had been built, it was about time to move into the house, but this incident happened beforehand.
When Luo Cheng received the news, it was already midnight.
After Li Xiaoran was woken up, she rubbed her eyes and asked, What happened?
Luo Cheng replied as he put on his clothes, Someone set fire to the farmstead.
Fortunately, my people discovered it in time and didnt cause much damage. However, Im going over to take a look now. Rest at home! When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sobered up.
Ill go with you! If I encounter anyone with ill intentions, I can help you identify them!
When Luo Cheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.. Then you should disguise yourself as a man like before! Its safer this way!
