Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shu Ruyue nodded, then looked around again.
“My father wants me to tell you and the Seventh Prince something!” When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, her expression immediately changed.
“What does he want to tell us?”
Shu Ruyue said softly, “My father wants to tell you and the Seventh Prince to leave the capital quickly. The capital isn’t a good place for vou guys!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she began to ponder.
The capital wasn’t a good place?
What did that mean?
Why wasn’t it a good place for them?
Li Xiaoran recalled that the empress dowager had left the palace today. Thinking of Luo Cheng’s strange attitude, Li Xiaoran had a bad feeling.
Could all of this have something to do with the woman hanging from the tree last night?
Before Li Xiaoran could figure it out, Meng Yan also asked someone to bring a letter over to ask if Li Xiaoran was free tonight.
If Li Xiaoran was free, Meng Yan asked Li Xiaoran to go to Little Quan’s house for a gathering tonight!
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she nodded and said, “I’m free today.
I’ll go to Little Quan’s house tonight!”
Meng Yan’s messenger only left after receiving Li Xiaoran’s permission.
Shu Ruyue thought of something and said, “I’ll go with you tonight! For some reason, I have a bad feeling!”
Li Xiaoran nodded, since she also felt much more at ease letting Shu Ruyue accompany her.
When Luo Cheng learned that Li Xiaoran was going out, he asked Zi Zheng to follow her to protect her, but he didn’t say anything else.
Soon, it was nighttime.
When Li Xiaoran appeared in front of Meng Yan on time, Meng Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting here for a long time!”
“Didn’t you say to come to Little Quan’s house for dinner? I said I was coming!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.
Meng Yan looked at Zi Zheng, who was following Li Xiaoran, and said, “I’m worried that the Seventh Prince won’t let you out. After all, such a big incident happened!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Meng Yan’s words, she was filled with confusion.
“What do you mean?”
Meng Yan pulled Li Xiaoran to a chair and asked Shu Ruyue to sit down.
“Don’t you know? I knew you didn’t know. That’s why I wanted to call you out to remind you!”
At this point, Meng Yan glanced at Zi Zheng again.
“Everyone is talking about how the Seventh Prince is going to marry a concubine!”
As soon as Meng Yan said this, the teacup in Li Xiaoran’s hand fell to the ground.
“That’s impossible! Why didn’t I know about this?”
“How is that impossible? Everyone in the capital knows! I guessed that you didn’t know, so I asked you out. I originally wanted to ask you out for a meal tomorrow, but after I heard this news, I couldn’t sit still!” Meng Yan said anxiously, “I just want to ask why the Seventh Prince agreed to marry a concubine! Didn’t he treat you very well previously? Did something happen between you two?”
Li Xiaoran shook her head in confusion. To be honest, she was shocked when she first heard this news.
But now that she slowly calmed down, she felt that this matter was very fishy.
If Luo Cheng really wanted to marry a concubine, it was impossible for him not to tell her.
“Xiaoran, what do you think?” Shu Ruyue asked Li Xiaoran after processing the previous news.
Li Xiaoran said firmly, “I think this matter is very strange! I believe my husband won’t do such a thing!”
Meng Yan asked, “What if he had no choice but to do so?”
Li Xiaoran recalled the empress dowager’s arrival in the morning.
Could it be that the empress dowager had really come to force Luo Cheng to marry a concubine today?
Before the empress dowager left, she hesitated. Could it be that she wanted her to persuade Luo Cheng to marry a concubine?
But why?
Why did Luo Cheng have to marry a concubine?
Li Xiaoran found this very strange.
“Zi Zheng, did you know about this?” Li Xiaoran suddenly looked at Zi Zheng.
Zi Zheng shook his head and said, “Before I escorted Madam over, I didn’t receive any news that the Seventh Prince was going to marry a concubine. As for when the empress dowager came, I wasn’t by your side, nor did I know what the empress dowager said to you!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she recalled what Luo Cheng had said to her after the Empress Dowager left today.
“Zi Zheng, let’s go. Hurry up and bring me back. If we’re too late, I’m afraid something bad will happen!”
When Zi Zheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately followed her.
At this moment, Li Xiaoran rushed out. Seeing this, Meng Yan quickly followed. “Li Xiaoran, where are you going? Aren’t you going to eat here?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran, who was walking quickly just now, suddenly stopped. Li Xiaoran shouted, “Husband, why are you here?”
Husband? Meng Yan looked up.
Other than the Seventh Prince, who else could Li Xiaoran call her husband?
As expected, the Seventh Prince was standing not far away.
Luo Cheng asked with a smile, “I want to have dinner with you. Is that okay?”
“Sure, but what’s with the rumors that you’re going to marry a concubine?” Li Xiaoran went straight to the point.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, “Don’t worry, there won’t be any concubines! I’ll do what I promised you. Today’s meal can be considered a farewell banquet between you and your good friends in the capital! We’ll go back to Sichuan tomorrow!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she didn’t ask why.
She had said something to him once.
As long as he treated her sincerely, she would treat him sincerely too.
Although she didn’t understand what had happened, Li Xiaoran was willing to continue to trust him.
Because after this meal, Li Xiaoran would leave.
Therefore, Mr. Chuan and Mrs. Chuan used all their skills to make a large table of good dishes.
Although she was very reluctant, Meng Yan knew that Li Xiaoran wasn’t suited for the capital.
Therefore, after the friends bid farewell to each other, Meng Yan watched Li Xiaoran and the others leave.
After Ma Chongshan rushed here to find Meng Yan, the first thing he said was,
“Has the Seventh Consort left?”
Meng Yan looked at Ma Chongshan in confusion and replied, “She just left!”
“Do you know what shocking thing the Seventh Prince did?! The Seventh Prince actually rushed to the Li family’s house and seriously injured the girl who was said to want to marry him as a concubine. Then, he said that if the Li family’s girl still wants to marry him as a concubine, he’ll slap her again!” Ma Chongshan revealed what he had heard previously.
When Meng Yan heard this, her mouth dropped agape!
She had never expected the Seventh Prince to be so determined!
