Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As Li Xiaoran washed her hands, she asked someone to invite Miss Duan in.
After Miss Duan arrived, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“It’s really you! From the looks of it, you’ve almost recovered?”
When Duan Sha saw Li Xiaoran, a smile appeared on her face.
“That’s right! I’m much better now! The doctor said that as long as I take good care of my body, I can walk around! I thought of your invitation, so I came with my second brother!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she noticed that there was a man following Duan
Sha.
“Greetings, Luo Cheng and the consort!” The man cupped his hands and bowed as he said respectfully.
Li Xiaoran stared at Duan Sha’s second brother as she said, “I think I’ve seen you somewhere before!”
When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran staring at a man, he immediately felt jealous.
When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately laughed.
“The reason my second brother looks familiar to you is because you’ve seen him before! Do you still remember the young master in blue who was targeted by Nie Xue, the cousin of Mr. Chen Run, who lives in the Ministry of Rites?!” After being reminded by Duan Sha, Li Xiaoran immediately remembered.
“Oh, I remember now. So it’s you? Second Young Master Duan, you weren’t schemed against by Nie Xue anymore later on, were you?” Li Xiaoran asked with a gossipy expression.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and his jealousy disappeared.
Duan Kaiyuan was very surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “How did the consort know that person called Nie Xue schemed against me?”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she smiled and looked at Duan Sha.
“Ask your sister if she remembers what I said at that time!”
Dilan Sha laughed when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words-
“Of course I remember it clearly. At that time, the consort said that if you were that man in dark blue clothes, you would definitely stay away from the girl in emerald green clothes. The girl is young, but she’s very scheming and has ill intentions! Whoever marries such a girl will have trouble at home!”
Upon hearing his sister’s words, Duan Kaiyuan said with admiration, “Your Highness, you really have good foresight! Later on, Xia Xue schemed against me several times. I couldn’t take it anymore and counterattacked. Then, she finally got married!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this outcome, she was immediately amused.
“That’s how it should be! If you hadn’t resolved the problem, I’m afraid your future might have been ruined after being pestered by Xia Xue!”
“Consort, your guess is so accurate! Xia Xue schemed against my second brother and angered him. Then, my second brother sent her to someone else’s bed and resolved this trouble!” Duan Sha explained with a smile.
“Such a thing happened?! Tell me about it when you’re free later! I’m not in the capital, so I rarely hear about interesting matters. You have to tell me about it this time!” Li Xiaoran said happily, “I’ll treat you and your second brother to some delicious food today!”
“Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Luo and the consort!” Duan Sha was naturally more than happy to oblige.
After arriving in Sichuan, she went straight to Hele Village in order to chat with Li Xiaoran.
To be honest, Duan Sha really liked Li Xiaoran.
Not only were her words interesting, but many of her ideas were also interesting.
Duan Sha thought of something and said, “By the way, we brought some gifts prepared by my family. Mr. Luo and the consort, please accept them!” With that, a few carriages drove in.
Looking at the carriage that was filled with things, Li Xiaoran laughed. “Don’t tell me you used all your dowry money to buy me a gift?!”
When Duan Sha heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she blinked and said with a smile, “How is that possible? It was really prepared by my family! Originally, my family wanted to thank you for saving my life after I recovered, but after you two left, they could only wait until now to send gifts!”
Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard Duan Sha’s words.
“Since you’re giving it to me sincerely, I’ll accept it! After all, your life is very valuable!”
Duan Sha liked Li Xiaoran’s straightforwardness, so she nodded.
“Of course. My life is indeed very valuable!”
After that, Li Xiaoran pulled Duan Sha to the oven. After Luo Cheng arranged for someone to accept the things, he brought Duan Kaiyuan to the backyard.
Seeing his sister talking and laughing with the consort, Duan Kaiyuan also smiled.
“After my sister recovered, although she became much more cheerful, I rarely saw her smile from the bottom of her heart. This is the first time I’ve seen my sister smile so happily!”
When Luo Cheng heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, he looked at Li Xiaoran and smiled.
“Those who can hit it off with the consort are very lucky! I believe that Miss Duan will have a better life in the future!”
“Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Luo!” Duan Kaiyuan said happily.
At this point, Duan Kaiyuan suddenly thought of something. After he looked around, he moved closer.
“Mr. Luo, my father asked me to bring some words to you. I wonder if you have a place for us to talk!”
When Luo Cheng heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “Come with me to my study!”
Duan Kaiyuan nodded and followed Luo Cheng to another place.
After Li Xiaoran brought Duan Sha into the kitchen, she introduced her around. Then, she brought Duan Sha to sit under the big tree in the courtyard.
On the other side, Luo Ziyang had already asked someone to set up a fruit platter, melon seeds, and peanuts. He also made a pot of tea.
“Tell me! Why did you suddenly appear here? You know my personality. Even if you wanted to see me, you wouldn’t have come at this time!” Li Xiaoran went straight to the point.
“I really can’t hide anything from you. Actually, apart from coming out to relax, I also came to give Mr. Luo and the consort a reminder!” Duan Sha said with a smile.
“Remind me of what?” Li Xiaoran asked.
After Duan Sha looked around and confirmed that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, “His Majesty suddenly became very ill and is in low spirits. Many people want to take advantage of this opportunity to attack!”
These words shocked Li Xiaoran!
