Li Xiaoran put down the stinky tofu in her hand and said, “Wait for me.” Then, she took the hoe and basket and ran out.
There was a patch of Chameleon Plant growing outside the kitchen.
Many people disliked the Chameleon Plant, but it was loved by the people of Sichuan.
After Li Xiaoran dug up some onions, she brought the Chameleon Plant and onions back.
After washing these two ingredients, Li Xiaoran split the leaves and roots of the chameleon plant into two.
The root was cut into pieces and placed in the stinky tofu along with the onions.
With these two ingredients, the stinky tofu tasted even better.
After Li Xiaoran tasted a piece, she placed the Chameleon Plant powder and spring onions in the other bowl of stinky tofu and handed it to Old Madam Jin.
While Old Madam Jin was tasting the stinky tofu, Li Xiaoran took out some condiments. Then, she took out the remaining leaves of the Chameleon Plant and marinated them before making them into a dish. It had to be said that such a dish was very appetizing.
Li Xiaoran liked the taste very much.
After Old Madam Jin tasted the stinky tofu, she praised, “Sigh, after you added these two ingredients, the stinky tofu immediately tasted more delicious!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “It’s delicious, right?! This stinky tofu has to be matched with Sichuan’s Chameleon Plant and onions in order to taste delicious! Fortunately, you’re used to the taste of Chameleon Plant, so you’re able to enjoy such delicious food!”
Old Madam Jin said with a smile, “Of course. I’ve always been a lucky person!” Next, Li Xiaoran and Old Madam Jin ate stinky tofu together.
Some things were delicious, but they couldn’t be overeaten.
After Li Xiaoran ate a bowl, she put down her chopsticks.
“Granny Jin, I can’t eat anymore. My stomach will be full if I eat any more!”
Old Madam Jin also knew the disadvantage of overeating, so she put down her chopsticks as well.
Although she was a little reluctant to stop eating, Old Madam Jin knew that her health was no longer the same as before.
She still wanted to live a few more years!
Because she was too full, Li Xiaoran helped Old Madam Jin to a shady place in the courtyard to stroll around.
After dismissing the people around her, Old Madam Jin entered the pavilion in the courtyard with Li Xiaoran.
It had to be said that this location was really good. Despite the scorching sun, the two of them felt a cool breeze as they sat in this comfortable pavilion.
Old Madam Jin suddenly thought of something and said, “You must have suffered a lot after entering the capital this time!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Old Madam Jin’s words, she laughed.
“I did encounter some trouble, but I resolved them one by one! Look, haven’t I appeared in front of you alive and kicking?”
Granny Jin said, ‘Girl, you only know how to avoid the main point. I have some factions in the capital, so there are some things that you can’t hide from me! You and Luo Cheng have both contributed so much, but he only restored his status as a prince and gave him a fief. You guys didn’t get any other rewards?
The emperor is getting more and more muddle-headed!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Granny Jin, I know you feel sorry for me, but I
don’t think it’s that much of a deal. From the day I was willing to marry Luo Cheng, the two of us had to go through hardships together. I don’t care how others treat me. What I care about is being able to fight side by side with Luo Cheng and protect the small family we built!”
“Besides, don’t we have the identity of a prince and an imperial consort? Not only that, but we also have a fief! As long as we manage our fief well, we won’t have to get involved in the government!” Li Xiaoran revealed her heartfelt thoughts.
Old Madam Jin reminded, “It’s impressive for you to be so open-minded and look on the bright side. This is a good thing, but you can’t lose your vigilance. There are many things that you can’t do just because you want to! Even if you want to live in seclusion, I’m afraid the few people in the capital won’t agree!” Li Xiaoran said seriously, “Granny Jin, don’t worry. We know what you’re talking about. We won’t be used by other people! No matter how powerful the other party is, as long as we become powerful, we won’t be easily manipulated!”
Whoever was more powerful had greater say.
Li Xiaoran had understood this since she was young.
Therefore, she and Luo Cheng wouldn’t be stupid enough to let those people scheme against them!
After all, they weren’t to be trifled with!
Seeing that Li Xiaoran really knew what to do, Old Madam Jin didn’t say anything else.
Li Xiaoran spoke to Old Madam Jin for a while longer before leaving.
After all, Old Madam Jin was old, so she needed to rest.
After sending Li Xiaoran off, Old Madam Jin instructed no one to disturb her sleep. Then, she lay on the bed.
It had to be said that Old Madam Jin really had foresight.
Not long after Li Xiaoran left, the juniors of the Jin family came again.
However, this time, they didn’t even get to enter Old Madam Jin’s door.
No matter what, the guard refused to open the door.
In the end, the Jin family could only target Li Xiaoran.
Hence, the group turned around and walked towards the Luo family’s house.
The Luo family’s location in the village was very special, so the Jin family quickly found out where the Luo family’s house was after asking around.
It had to be said that the place Luo Cheng had chosen was very good.
After the group walked into the forest under the scorching sun, the group felt a cooling sensation.
The eldest son of the Jin family, Jin Dawei, said enviously, “I really didn’t expect such an inconspicuous village to have another world! The Seventh Prince has good taste. His residence is not only secretive, but also warm in the winter and cold in the summer. It’s a great place!”
The greedy expression on his face betrayed his true thoughts.
When Jin Ximing saw his brother acting like this, he immediately revealed disdain for him.
“Brother, can you stop looking so greedy?! You have to know that we’re here to ask for help. If Li Xiaoran sees through your intentions, do you think she’ll still help us?
Jin Dawei said angrily, “Why wouldn’t she help? We’re her uncles.. How dare she disobey us?! If she doesn’t help, as her uncle, I can naturally teach her a lesson!”
