Chapter 482: Finally Found
Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee
Ruan Weiwei’s face turned pale.
“Sister Xiaoran, we’re here!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Ruan Weiwei’s words, she immediately looked at Shu
Ruyue.
Shu Ruyue understood and went forward to knock on the door.
However, even after knocking for a long time, there was no response.
After Zi Zheng thought about it for a moment, she flew up before jumping down.
Soon, the door opened.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “Zi Zheng, bring people in to take a look first and see if there’s anyone inside! If there’s no one, quickly retreat!”
“I’ll bring you there. I want to find my mother!” Ruan Weiwei thought of something and struggled to get out of the carriage.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran nodded and let Zi Zheng bring her in to look for her mother.
After seeing the group of people enter, Li Xiaoran asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side and park it.
After all, the road here wasn’t very spacious. If she stopped in front of this house, she would stop others from passing by.
Fortunately, there was an empty space opposite the house. A well was there and the dam was also very big, so the carriage wouldn’t stop others.
After the carriage stopped, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue lifted the curtains and looked at the door of the previous house.
Shu Ruyue was a little anxious at this moment. She wanted to go in and take a look, but she was worried about Li Xiaoran staying here alone.
Although Li Xiaoran still had a few guards around her, Shu Ruyue still felt that they were unreliable.
Before long, Zi Zheng walked out alone.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran had a bad feeling.
“What happened? Did you find her?”
Zi Zheng nodded and replied, “We found her mother, but she was already on her last breath. When that woman saw that Weiwei had returned, she smiled as she reminded her to live on and not to look for her father. Then, she died!” When Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue heard this, they didn’t know what to say.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Leave a few men behind to handle this woman’s funeral! Then, ask around to see who this house belongs to.”
“Madam, this house belongs to Weiwei and her mother. Before Weiwei’s mother died, she gave Weiwei the house deed and silver ingots. That woman also said that everything in the countryside that she used to live in has been sold. Now, only this house is left,” Zi Zheng said.
After Li Xiaoran pondered for a moment, she made the arrangements.
“Firstly, we still have to verify who this house belongs to. After confirming that it belongs to Weiwei and her mother, things will be easy to handle. Secondly, find someone to bury Weiwei’s mother and send someone to secretly protect Weiwei. Thirdly, I won’t go in to see Weiwei! It’s the empress dowager’s birthday in a few days, so it’s not appropriate for me to celebrate the empress dowager’s birthday after being involved in this sort of thing. During this period of time, find a reliable person to protect Weiwei. We’ll discuss everything else after my husband and I attend the empress dowager’s birthday banquet!” Zi Zheng also knew that it wasn’t convenient for Li Xiaoran to appear, so he nodded and remembered what Li Xiaoran had instructed.
Shu Ruyue thought of something.
“I think it’s quite pitiful that the child suddenly lost her mother. Now that she’s alone in this world, this little girl must be afraid. I think the person the little girl trusts the most is you, so if you can accompany her, she’ll feel better! ”
Li Xiaoran looked at Shu Ruyue as she shook her head. “Ruyue, it’s not that I’m heartless, but firstly, it’s not convenient for me to handle this now, and secondly, this matter isn’t over yet. Do you really think all of this is that simple? Why did her mother die in her own house? Why was Weiwei asleep in her bed at home the night before and in the busy streets the next day? Why did those people who snatched the child target Weiwei? All of this has a cause!” At this point, Li Xiaoran sighed.
“If I’m not mistaken, many things are out of our expectations. There are some things that Weiwei can only handle herself. She has to experience all of this herself. The only thing I can do is send people to protect her. I can’t do anything else!”
Shu Ruyue didn’t understand Li Xiaoran’s words.
“Ruyue, think about it. Why did Weiwei’s mother ask Weiwei not to look for her father? Weiwei just lost her mother, but her father is still around. Logically speaking, I can’t bring Weiwei away!” Li Xiaoran explained.
At this moment, Wu Qinghe suddenly said,
“Weiwei’s father was originally in a high position, but he’s in prison now.
However, someone will come to pick Weiwei up. The people who will pick
Weiwei up are nobles!”
Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue looked at Wu Qinghe without saying a word.
Because they all knew that Wu Qinghe’s divine prediction was most likely accurate.
“When will the other party come back to pick her up?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“Very soon!” was all Wu Qinghe said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage drove over. Soon, a man and a woman got out of the carriage.
When Zi Zheng saw the two of them, his expression changed.
“Why? Zi Zheng, do you know these two people?” Li Xiaoran sensed the change in Zi Zheng’s emotions and asked.
“The man is the chief butler of the second prince’s residence, and the woman is the butler that the second prince’s consort relies on the most!” Zi Zheng revealed their identities.
This time, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue didn’t know what to say.
Not long after the two of them entered, Ruan Weiwei appeared at the door alone.
After looking around and seeing Li Xiaoran and the others on the side of the dam, Ruan Weiwei walked out.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the little girl had cried before. At this moment, her eyes were already red and swollen.
When she saw Ruan Weiwei again, Li Xiaoran felt pity for her.
Ruan Weiwei didn’t approach. Instead, she stopped three steps away.
“Sister Xiaoran, my mother has passed away, so I want to stay behind to hold her funeral! Brother Youting’s family came to pick me up and said that they wanted to send me to reunite with my father, but I didn’t agree. I said that I had to finish my mother’s funeral first and let them send my father here!”
After the little girl calmly finished speaking, Li Xiaoran nodded. “I’m going to celebrate the benefactor’s birthday in a few days, so it’s not convenient for me to go in and pay my respects. I’ll ask Brother Zi Zheng to arrange for someone to help you handle the funeral and protect you. We’ll talk about everything after your mother is buried. Weiwei, remember my words. When you want to protect yourself and learn how to earn money, come and find me! The person who protects you knows how to find me!”
After saying this, Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and reminded her again.
“Remember, this is our agreement.. You can’t tell anyone, not even your father!
