Chapter 489: What Are You Afraid of?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When the Eldest Princess saw Li Xiaoran like this, she was suddenly stunned.
She had seen many proud women before and those people indeed had the ability to be proud.
However, the little girl in front of her refreshed her understanding of her.
Others said that she disliked girls from commoner families because of her son and daughter-in-law.
That wasn’t the case.
She only disliked her daughter-in-law.
Only his silly son would listen to that scheming woman from the countryside and fail to see her true colors.
This time, when she heard that Luo Cheng had married a woman from the countryside, the Eldest Princess was actually a little angry.
Why were all the descendants of the royal family so foolish?
Originally, the Eldest Princess didn’t take Li Xiaoran, the Seventh Prince’s consort, seriously, but after she went to the royal family to see the emperor a few days ago, she sensed something from the emperor’s mention of this girl.
When someone invited her to the Flower Banquet this time, the Eldest Princess originally didn’t plan to participate.
However, not long ago today, she heard that the countryside woman Luo Cheng had brought back would also come, so she changed her mind.
Initially, she only wanted to pretend to be an ordinary official’s family member. Unexpectedly, her identity was exposed the moment they met.
It wasn’t that the Eldest Princess didn’t know what those people in the courtyard were up to, so after Li Xiaoran exposed her identity, the Eldest Princess had the intention to bring her in.
She wanted to see how Luo Cheng’s wife would perform at a set up like the Flower Banquet. However, she didn’t see what she wanted to see. Instead, she saw another side to this girl.
The Eldest Princess stopped and stared at Li Xiaoran.
“Do you know what awaits you when you step into the courtyard in front?”
When Li Xiaoran heard the Eldest Princess’s words, she looked towards somewhere not far away.
Many voices came from the long corridor over there. The people who came to attend the banquet must be there!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran looked at the Eldest Princess.
“Of course I know! But so what? I’ll deal with whatever comes my way. Although I’m a woman, I’m tough, prideful and clever. Why should I be afraid of demons?!”
At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s aura changed.
Shu Ruyue, who was following Li Xiaoran, saw Li Xiaoran’s demeanor change from that of a cute little girl to an arrogant woman in an instant.
This was a side to Li Xiaoran she had never seen before. She was a woman that other women couldn’t help but become fascinated with.
The Eldest Princess was the same. She had never met a woman she admired in her entire life.
Now, she had met one.
Looking at the feisty Li Xiaoran, the Eldest Princess suddenly laughed.
“In that case, follow me in!”
Li Xiaoran didn’t answer. She continued to support the Eldest Princess as they walked towards the boisterous place.
As she walked forward step by step, Li Xiaoran’s fierce aura gradually diminished.
When she reached the crowd, Li Xiaoran once again became amiable and approachable.
Those who didn’t know better were all very surprised to see a pretty woman helping the Eldest Princess in and they asked around for Li Xiaoran’s identity.
As for those who knew Li Xiaoran’s identity, they had strange expressions when they saw Li Xiaoran actually helping the Eldest Princess in.
Meng Yan, who was looking for someone, suddenly laughed when she saw this scene.
As expected, Li Xiaoran had never disappointed her.
Li Xiaoran helped the Eldest Princess into the banquet. Just this alone already deterred those with ill intentions!
Since Princess Ning Xin was the organizer, she naturally had to come forward to welcome the Eldest Princess.
“Auntie, why are you only here now?! I sent people to look for you. Where did you go?”
Seeing Princess Ning Xin coming over, the Eldest Princess revealed a rare smile.
“Since I went out for a walk, I naturally have to take a look around. You don’t have to interfere. I have your seventh sister-in-law accompanying me, so go do your own thing! ”
As soon as she said this, not to mention the surrounding officials, even Li Xiaoran was very surprised.
She really didn’t expect the Eldest Princess to take the initiative to support her.
What was going on? Could it be that something had happened to make Auntie change her attitude in such a short time?
Thinking of this, Princess Ning Xin sized up Li Xiaoran.
“You’re my seventh sister-in-law?”
Li Xiaoran could sense that Princess Ning Xin disliked her. On the surface, she didn’t reveal anything, but the disdain in her eyes was obvious.
When the Eldest Princess heard Ning Xin’s words, she didn’t say anything. Instead, she let Li Xiaoran handle this herself.
She could help her block some ill intentions, but she still had to face all of this herself.
For example, Princess Ning Xin’s snub!
“If you have a Seventh Brother, I’m naturally your Seventh Sister-in-law!” Li Xiaoran smiled as she replied.
These words were very tricky.
If Princess Ning Xin didn’t acknowledge Luo Cheng as her seventh brother, then she wasn’t her seventh sister-in-law. However, if Ning Xin acknowledged Luo Cheng as her seventh brother, then she had to acknowledge her as her seventh sister-in-law!
Princess Ning Xin, who had been doted on since she was young, had never suffered such grievances. She was actually being bullied by a woman from the countryside!
“Who do you think you are?!” Princess Ning Xin’s expression changed as she cursed.
As soon as she said this, many people around them revealed looks of amusement.
Those gloating comments were quite loud.
Li Xiaoran wasn’t angry at this moment. Instead, she felt that such insults were child’s play.
“Who do you think you are?”
Li Xiaoran retorted directly.
Before Princess Ning Xin could come back to her senses, Li Xiaoran took a step forward and said in a voice that could be heard by the two of them, “You’re making things difficult for me because you think that I, a commoner from the countryside, can’t be the Seventh Prince’s consort. But insulting me is equivalent to insulting the royal family. After all, I’m the Seventh Prince’s consort that the emperor personally acknowledged! As a member of the royal family, you know very well what’s more important! There are some things that you aren’t worth losing over trivial matters!”
With that, Li Xiaoran retreated to the Eldest Princess’s side and looked around while trembling, pretending to be afraid.
“I really didn’t expect there to be dirty things in such a good courtyard. That dirty thing seemed to have come out of Princess Ning Xin’s body just now. How scary.. Why can I see ghosts?!”
