Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Ziyang and Luo Han came to look for Li Xiaoran the next afternoon with the information they had found.
After Li Xiaoran read the news sent by the two of them, she had a new understanding of Xu Niansheng and the others.
It turned out that when she set up a stall by the official road to sell sliced noodles previously, Xu Niansheng and the others had found out some information about the enemy’s factions and prepared to deal with them with other factions.
Unfortunately, after they met up, they were discovered by their enemies and schemed against, causing their faction to collapse. Their people were either dead or injured.
Xu Niansheng and the others saw that this matter could no longer be resolved, so they wanted to return to a place they were familiar with and find other opportunities to take revenge.
In the end, they met Wu Qinghe by chance and learned that Li Xiaoran was the consort, so they stayed.
In other words, what Xu Niansheng and the others said was true.
“By the way, is their enemy really Prince Fu?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked.
As soon as she said this, Luo Ziyang and Luo Han exchanged looks.
“Madam, there’s no definite evidence that he’s Prince Fu, but every clue points to him! Moreover, in the past, we couldn’t find out about this, but when we locked onto Prince Fuls son as the suspect, we realized that everything was related to the people around him!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she already understood what they meant.
“In other words, we know that Prince Fu did these things, but we don’t have enough evidence, right?”
“That’s right! Madam, even if we know this, we can’t do anything to Prince Fu!” Luo Han added.
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “What are you guys thinking? I’m not thinking of using these things to overthrow Prince Fu! Prince Fu has already ascended the throne. Even if these things are exposed, it won’t hurt him much. You might not have heard of the saying that power comes from the barrel of a gun. Now, there’s only one way to overthrow Prince Fu. Therefore, this is what my husband and third brother need to do! I just need to stay here and stabilize the situation and earn more money for them!”
“Luo Han, our food street is open for business and the activity venue beside it has been leveled out! Next, focus on the construction of the inn. I’ll give you the layout later. Ask Uncle Chen to quickly organize the people in his hands and build this big inn with all his might!”
Luo Han perked up when he heard that.
“If Chen Xiang finds out that he’s about to accept a big project, he’ll definitely be overjoyed!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “He’ll be overjoyed! As long as they build the inn, our business plan can begin. We’ll have an endless stream of money to help my husband! The capital seems calm now, but there will definitely be a lot of turmoil in the future, so let’s forget about the shops in the capital for now. Let’s earn some money outside first!”
“Madam, what about me? Arrange something for me to do too!” When Luo Ziyang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was immediately eager to try.
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Don’t you have enough on your hands? The farmstead, the grilled fish shop, the fruit shop, the wine shop, and the matters on the food street are enough to keep you busy! Next, my focus will be on the planning of the inn and the food festival!”
When Luo Ziyang heard this, he didn’t ask for anything else.
After that, Li Xiaoran handed the set of blueprints she had designed previously to Luo Han.
Luo Han asked worriedly, “Madam, this inn is very well designed and built. But at this juncture, shouldn’t we take out money to invest in businesses that are easier to earn money in?! This inn isn’t like the food business. It’s not easy to earn back the money we invested!”
“Don’t worry! We’ll be able to earn this money back soon!” Li Xiaoran said confidently, “Besides, we don’t lack this bit of money! But this inn is the most important thing that will help us revive White Foothill City!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he didn’t say anything else.
There were some things that he could remind her about, but he couldn’t force Li Xiaoran to do anything.
Besides, others might not know Li Xiaoran’s talent, but he knew it very well.
Although he didn’t understand where Li Xiaoran’s confidence came from, he was willing to do as she instructed.
After Chen Xiang got another big job, he was immediately overjoyed. Chen Xiang quickly organized the people in his hands and focused on building the inn.
Practice made perfect. This was the motto of the construction team led by Chen Xiang.
After building houses for such a long time, Chen Xiang’s team had matured a lot.
Now that they had obtained Li Xiaoran’s inn blueprint, they quickly understood and were immediately stunned by Li Xiaoran’s brilliant idea.
As soon as they obtained the blueprints, the craftsmen began to work eagerly.
Ever since he parted ways with Li Xiaoran that day, Ling He didn’t look for her again.
However, he didn’t stay idle. Instead, he strolled around White Foothill City and Golden Sun Town.
It wasn’t purely a stroll.
The places he had gone to were the businesses under Luo Cheng’s name.
Just the profits from the grilled fish, roasted duck, and braised dishes that had recently been sold made Ling He envious.
“I really didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to be so impressive!” Ling He said to his trusted aide, “Those people in the capital mocked Luo Cheng for marrying a village girl, but they didn’t see how impressive this village girl was! To be honest, if it were a village girl like Li Xiaoran, I would be willing to marry her too!”
Ling He’s aide was called Lu Xiang. When he heard his lord’s words, he said, “Your Highness, isn’t Luo Cheng already missing? This means that the crown prince’s arrangements have worked! Why don’t we take this opportunity to snatch all of this away?! Now that the emperor and crown prince are busy in the capital and don’t have time to care about this, we have to do it quickly!
Otherwise, when the time comes, you won’t have a chance!”
“Do you think I don’t want it? It’s not that simple! Luo Cheng’s fate is unknown. We can’t be anxious. If we’re too anxious, we’ll suffer a backlash! Don’t underestimate Luo Ziyang! He’s the person who has been with Luo Cheng the longest. Now, he’s even Luo Cheng’s brother! With him around, we have to be careful!” Ling He said solemnly..
