The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady - Chapter 154

154 Related to the Capital

Seeing her sister’s confused expression, Li Xiaoqing leaned close to her ear and told her what had happened the day before yesterday.

It turned out that the day before yesterday, because the weather was a little cold and there was no one on the official road, many people had packed up and left.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu had originally planned to close the stall and leave, but Li Shun felt that it would be a pity not to use the remaining dough, so he suggested that they wait.

!!
In the end, two hours passed.

Just as everyone was thinking that it was better not to wait anymore, two carriages arrived in the cold wind.

Seeing that there was a sliced noodles stall beside the official road, the people in the two carriages cheered.

Soon, eight people got out of the carriage and asked for eight bowls of sliced noodles.

These eight people weren’t prepared for their first trip.

They were freezing while traveling on this official road.

Unfortunately, there was no village or shop here, so the family endured the cold and rushed forward with hunger.

At this moment, when they saw a steaming noodle stall on the official road in the cold weather, they were overjoyed.

Seeing that all of them were freezing, Li Shun quickly brought over steaming bone soup and let everyone drink some hot soup to warm up.

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, the middle-aged man said gratefully, “Thank you so much! Fortunately, you guys are here. Otherwise, I don’t know how long my family would have lasted! We adults aren’t afraid of anything, but this is too much suffering for the elderly and the child!”

On the other side, the old man and child, who had drunk the hot soup, felt revived. Their faces finally regained some color.

Even the child’s face, which was originally blue from the cold, was finally warmed by the hot soup.

After that, the family ate noodles and warmed up. Then, they thanked Li Shun and the others gratefully before getting into the carriage again.

“At that time, the elder and the child were actually already freezing. If they had froze for a while longer, they would have died. Fortunately, there was a noodle stall around, so we gave them a mouthful of warm food to help them recover. They insisted on rushing to the town in front to rest!” Luo Ziyang said.

After Li Xiaoran heard this, she instantly understood why her father insisted!

“Alright, since Father insists, let’s go!” Li Xiaoran said.

Li Shun smiled happily and nodded.

“Okay, okay!”

At this moment, Li Xiaoran looked as happy as a child and her heart softened.

Actually, everyone had many flaws, but everyone also had many strengths.

Her father was indeed a little timid when he was in the Li family, but he was kind-hearted.

It was also this kindness that made him see how difficult it was for those traveling. He insisted on setting up a noodle stall even if he had to suffer from freezing.

As his daughter, she should support her father’s kindness.

Luo Cheng also learned the reason for his father-in-law’s insistence from Luo Ziyang.

At this moment, Luo Cheng was also touched.

Perhaps, the warmth in this world came from others’ kindness and persistence!

At noon, after eating and drinking some wine, the family went to rest.

Li Shun, Zhao Xiu, and the others didn’t rest well last night because they were worried about Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

At this moment, they were relieved. Li Shun had drunk wine, so he returned to his room to take a nap.

Li Xiaoran had also been tired over the past two days, so she went for an afternoon nap.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and reminded Li Xiaoqing before bringing Luo Ziyang out to see the construction of the shop outside.

It was no longer raining outside. Luo Cheng walked on the road and carefully listened to Luo Ziyang talk about Li Yan.

“I’ve asked my brothers to investigate. The reason Li Qiang was in such a hurry to find Li Yan was because the son of the Zeng family of White Foothill City wants to marry Li Yan. Faced with the Zeng family’s good conditions, Li Qiang is naturally tempted!” Luo Ziyang said carefully, “It’s just that I feel that something is wrong, so I asked my buddies to investigate the Zeng family. In the end, we really found something!”

“What do you mean?” Luo Cheng asked seriously.

“The Zeng family is actually related to the people in the capital!” Luo Ziyang said.

When Luo Cheng heard this, he stopped in his tracks.

Luo Ziyang stopped as well.

“Who is it?” Luo Cheng asked.

“The Zeng family is actually related to the Cao family! The Cao family’s illegitimate daughter married into the Zeng family!” Luo Ziyang didn’t say it explicitly and only said this.

When Luo Cheng heard Luo Ziyang’s words, he immediately sneered.

“Hehe, as expected of my second brother! He’s meticulous and paranoid. I just wanted to find someone to fool them, but he actually targeted Li Yan!”

“However, Li Yan doesn’t seem to be willing to marry a member of the Zeng family. Instead, she wants to marry that poor scholar called Pei Xuanxin. Moreover, we heard an unbelievable piece of news!” Luo Ziyang thought for a moment and said.

“Oh really? What news?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.

Next, Luo Ziyang told him what Li Yan had said to her parents.

Luo Ziyang had been keeping an eye on Li Yan.

Therefore, after Li Yan returned, the person who was surveilling Li Yan heard everything she said at home.

“Dream? She dreamed of it? Interesting!” Luo Cheng laughed when he heard this.

Previously, his wife had said that Li Yan was good at divination, but in front of Li Yan’s parents, Li Yan said it was a dream.

Li Yan was full of lies.

However, was Pei Xuanxin married to Li Xiaoran?

Hmph! It turned out that the wealth and glory Li Yan coveted were brought by Pei Xuanxin. No wonder she was unwilling to marry him.

“Go and investigate Pei Xuanxin. I want to see what ability this man has to actually become successful in the future!” Luo Cheng sneered and instructed.

“Yes! Don’t worry. We’ll definitely dig up everything about Pei Xuanxin, even his ancestors!” Luo Ziyang said.

Luo Ziyang also disliked a man who might have married Luo Cheng’s wife.

Li Xiaoran was such a good wife. She was clearly his brother’s. How could she be matched with someone else?

Li Yan must have been out of her mind to have such a ridiculous dream!

And did Li Yan really think that Luo Cheng liked her?

At that time, Luo Cheng only wanted to use someone to fool his enemies. He didn’t really want to marry her.

Fortunately, the heavens let Luo Cheng marry a good wife in the end. His life was getting better and better!
