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 home for a period of time.

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 moment and said, “Husband, I can sense that Duan Sha doesn’t have any ill intentions when she says these words. I’m afraid that something 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 time to time, it wasn’t that serious.

A princess actually dared to force a marriage in the emperor’s name, so something 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 game 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 came 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 came in disguise. If not for Ziyang’s good eyesight, he wouldn’t have known that the third prince’s consort came to town in such a low-profile manner. Guess why she came to town this time?”

“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 came to take a look?” Li Xiaoran probed.

“Tell me, what would you do if you heard that I was seriously injured?” Luo Cheng asked.

“I’ll definitely rush over immediately! 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 someone to keep an eye on her now. I want to see what tricks she’s up to!” Seeing that Li Xiaoran had come to her senses, Luo Cheng said coldly, “I want to see why she’s here this time!”

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 someone 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 come! For someone who won’t come to Sichuan to come at this time, something big must have happened!” Luo Cheng said firmly.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “If I meet the third prince’s consort, I might be able to see some 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 came 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 come 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 Mengjia, arrived at the main hall.

When she saw Li Xiaoran again, Ma Mengjia’s eyes widened.

Previously, in the capital, although Ma Mengjia had seen Li Xiaoran at the empress dowager’s birthday, Ma Mengjia 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 Mengjia 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 Mengjia’s eyes.

Li Xiaoran could empathize with others, so she naturally sensed the jealousy of the third prince’s consort, Ma Mengjia.

She was jealous of her?

When Li Xiaoran realized this, she was immediately amused.

Ma Mengjia quickly suppressed her emotions. She had something important to do today, so she had to perk up.

Ma Mengjia 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 Mengjia’s words, he looked at Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran seemed to understand what Luo Cheng meant and shook her head, indicating that Ma Mengjia 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 moment, even I don’t know where Third Brother is!”
