Chapter 779: She’s Here
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Because Duan Kaiyuan and Duan Sha planned to settle down on the food street, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran asked them to stay at their ho for a period of ti.
At night, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng sat in the study as they talked about the news they had received during the day.
Li Xiaoran thought for a mont and said, “Husband, I can sense that Duan Sha doesn’t have any ill intentions when she says these words. I’m afraid that sothing has really happened to Old Master!”
Luo Cheng thought about it carefully but didn’t speak.
Actually, that was what puzzled him the most.
Although the Old Master’s body ached from ti to ti, it wasn’t that serious.
A princess actually dared to force a marriage in the emperor’s na, so sothing must have happened to the royal family!
However, they couldn’t rule out the possibility that the Old Master was pretending or trying to beat them at their own ga while waiting for those people to appear.
“Don’t think too much about it. We’re too far away now, so even if we want to help, we can’t. Most importantly, guarding the mine in Sichuan will help the Old Master the most!” Luo Cheng said, “Previously, I was wondering why the
Third Prince’s consort ca here. Now, it seems that there’s a connection!”
“Huh?” Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard Luo Cheng’s words. “The third prince’s consort is here? Where is she?”
Luo Cheng sneered and said, “She ca in disguise. If not for Ziyang’s good eyesight, he wouldn’t have known that the third prince’s consort ca to town in such a low-profile manner. Guess why she ca to town this ti?”
“She’s here to look for Third Brother? Could it be that she heard that Third Brother had been unconscious, so she was worried and ca to take a look?” Li Xiaoran probed.
“Tell , what would you do if you heard that I was seriously injured?” Luo Cheng asked.
“I’ll definitely rush over imdiately! If you’re injured, I’ll definitely be very anxious to know your situation!” Li Xiaoran replied.
“But what about the Third Prince’s consort? How long has it been since my Third Brother’s accident?” Luo Cheng asked.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was stunned.
She hadn’t thought of this before.
It had been almost two months since the Third Prince was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
However, the third prince’s consort had only rushed over now, so the motive behind her actions was intriguing.
“I’ll send soone to keep an eye on her now. I want to see what tricks she’s up to!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran had co to her senses, Luo Cheng said coldly, “I want to see why she’s here this ti!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything because anything she said would seem unconvincing.
It was obvious that the third prince’s consort didn’t care about the third prince.
They knew this, and so did the third prince.
Li Xiaoran thought of a possibility and asked, “Do you think perhaps Third
Brother lured her over?”
“Third Brother has been living in Prince Luo’s residence recently. Although he got soone to investigate the consort, he has no intention of calling her to Sichuan! Besides, even if Third Brother calls the consort to Sichuan, the consort might not co! For soone who won’t co to Sichuan to co at this ti, sothing big must have happened!” Luo Cheng said firmly.
Li Xiaoran thought for a mont and said, “If I et the third prince’s consort, I might be able to see so clues!”
To Li Xiaoran’s surprise, she really got what she wanted.
Luo Cheng originally planned for Luo Ziyang to bring Duan Kaiyuan and Duan
Sha to choose a house the next morning. However, he happened to encounter Luo Han, who ca over to see the progress of the food street, so he changed his mind and asked Luo Han to bring the Duan family over to choose a house.
Not long after the group left, a carriage appeared at Luo Cheng’s door.
When they heard from the guard that the third prince’s consort was here, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran were very surprised.
None of them expected the third prince’s consort to co here herself.
“Invite the Third Prince’s consort to the main hall!” Luo Cheng said.
When the guard heard Luo Cheng’s words, he left.
Li Xiaoran tidied up and went to the main hall with Luo Cheng.
Since the third prince’s consort was here, she should entertain her personally.
Soon, the third prince’s consort, Ma ngjia, arrived at the main hall.
When she saw Li Xiaoran again, Ma ngjia’s eyes widened.
Previously, in the capital, although Ma ngjia had seen Li Xiaoran at the empress dowager’s birthday, Ma ngjia didn’t think that there was anything special about Li Xiaoran.
However, after walking in and seeing Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s happiness, Ma ngjia felt Li Xiaoran’s charm.
One could tell from a woman’s complexion whether she was doing well or not.
In contrast, she was like a withered flower because her life wasn’t going well.
Then, she looked at Li Xiaoran, who looked delicate and charming. It was obvious that she was a woman who had been well-protected by her man.
At the thought of this, jealousy flashed across Ma ngjia’s eyes.
Li Xiaoran could empathize with others, so she naturally sensed the jealousy of the third prince’s consort, Ma ngjia.
She was jealous of her?
When Li Xiaoran realized this, she was imdiately amused.
Ma ngjia quickly suppressed her emotions. She had sothing important to do today, so she had to perk up.
Ma ngjia pretended to be very anxious and asked, “Seventh Prince, where’s your Third Brother? How is he now? Why did I hear that he’s still in a coma? When he left back then, I was very worried. I didn’t expect the people in the residence to hide the news that your Third Brother was seriously injured. I only heard about this now, so I rushed over!”
Unfortunately, Li Xiaoran saw through her acting on the spot.
After all, she wasn’t worried at all!
No matter how good a person’s acting skills were, as long as they stood in front of Li Xiaoran, they would be exposed.
When Luo Cheng heard Ma ngjia’s words, he looked at Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran seed to understand what Luo Cheng ant and shook her head, indicating that Ma ngjia was acting.
After Luo Cheng understood, he frowned.
“Third Sister-in-law, don’t you know? I sent news to Father that Third Brother’s injuries were very serious and that he was in a coma, so Father sent a famous doctor over to treat Third Brother! Because that doctor was following Father’s secret guard, they used the excuse of finding a quiet place to treat Third Brother and took him away! At this mont, even I don’t know where Third Brother is!”
