The Hunter's Lucky Little Lady

Chapter 210

210 Putting on a Show

Just as Luo Cheng was trying to determine if Li Xiaoran was really injured or pretending, the scholar who was reading stood up.

“No matter what your wife did to make you unhappy, she’s injured now. You should help her up! Since you’ve already married her, you should take good care of her. Why are you so heartless?”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he looked at the scholar.

“It’s not my husband’s fault! I didn’t do my part as his wife! Actually, I feel a little aggrieved. Yesterday, I was feeling a little unwell, so I asked my mother-in-law to cook dinner. My mother-in-law agreed and cooked a bowl of noodles for my husband. However, my husband’s bowl of noodles looked the same as mine on the surface, but there were several fried eggs under the noodles. After I noticed this, I felt that my mother-in-law was too biased, so I took the initiative to add two fried eggs to my bowl! Then, my husband became unhappy!” Li Xiaoran pretended to be aggrieved.

“It’s all my fault for being greedy. If I hadn’t eaten the eggs in my husband’s bowl, my husband wouldn’t have been angry! My mother-in-law wouldn’t have felt wronged because of this and felt that she hadn’t gained anything even after cooking!” Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng carefully and said.

Luo Cheng was speechless.

Why didn’t he realize before that his wife actually had such acting talent?!

The scholar was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He had always focused on reading sage books. He had never experienced this.

However, Li Xiaoran didn’t let him off.

“Young Master, if you were like my husband and encountered such a thing, would you be angry? What would you do?” Li Xiaoran looked at the scholar expectantly.

“I, I, I! I don’t know!” The scholar didn’t know what to do.

Qin Meizhen walked forward and snorted.

“As expected, a daughter-in-law is an outsider after marrying into the family. It’s fine if her mother-in-law

is biased towards her son, and even if the mother-in-law is exposed, the daughter-in-law will be criticized! It’s the woman’s fault for marrying such a man and having such a mother-in-law!”

With that, Qin Meizhen walked forward and helped Li Xiaoran up.

“Don’t count on your husband. Let me send you to the doctor!”

“Alright, thank you!” Li Xiaoran nodded and said.

However, Li Xiaoran didn’t forget the scholar at this moment. She turned around and said gratefully, “Thank you for speaking up for me! May I know your name?”

“Oh, I didn’t help you much! My name is Qi Shixing. I don’t deserve your gratitude. I only hope that you can resolve the misunderstanding with your husband and be happy!” Qi Shixing bowed and sincerely blessed her.

“Thank you for your blessings, Young Master Qi!”

With that, Li Xiaoran left with Qin Meizhen.

Luo Cheng followed her silently with a cold expression.

After they were far away, Li Xiaoran asked, “Why didn’t you talk to him more?”

Qin Meizhen shook her head and said listlessly, “I can’t marry such a person!”

Li Xiaoran still smiled and didn’t speak.

Soon, they saw another young master with a chrysanthemum pattern on his clothing.

Before the group could step forward, a child playing accidentally bumped into the young master.

The young master wasn’t angry. Instead, he helped the little boy up from the ground.

“Are you all right?” the young man asked in a very gentle and concerned tone.

“I’m fine. I’m sorry, Big Brother. I was too busy playing just now and bumped into you!” The little boy was also a sensible person and quickly apologized.

“It’s fine. Next time you encounter something like this, remember to look where you’re going! Okay?” The young man reached out and touched the little boy’s head.

When Qin Meizhen saw this young master, she walked forward.

“I wonder what your name is?” Qin Meizhen said as she took out a handkerchief with a chrysanthemum pattern.

The other party immediately understood when he saw the handkerchief.

The young master stood there with a warm gaze and smiled at Qin Meizhen.

“I’m Deng Qiuping. Are you Miss Qin Meizhen?”

As Qin Meizhen looked at the other party’s gentle appearance, her heart beat faster.

“Meizhen!” At this moment, Li Xiaoran walked forward and shouted.

Luo Cheng stood not far away and looked at Li Xiaoran.

When Qin Meizhen heard Li Xiaoran’s voice, she subconsciously turned around.

Deng Qiuping turned when he heard this voice.

When he saw that the person walking over was a young woman in very cheap clothes, his lips pursed slightly.

“Meizhen, I think I lost my copper coins. Come with me to look for them!” Li Xiaoran walked over and said anxiously.

Qin Meizhen didn’t know what Li Xiaoran was doing. She was just about to have a good chat with this person called Deng Qiuping when she came out and called her away.

In the past, Qin Meizhen would have scolded Li Xiaoran loudly and humiliated her.

However, the current Qin Meizhen was different!

Qin Meizhen had a blind trust in Li Xiaoran.

If Li Xiaoran appeared and interrupted her plan, it meant that the person in front of her wasn’t suitable for her.

Thinking of this, Qin Meizhen looked at Deng Qiuping apologetically.

“Young Master Deng, I’m really sorry! My friend lost a copper coin. I have to accompany her to look for it!”

“It’s fine. Please go ahead!” Deng Qiuping said politely.

Qin Meizhen glanced at Deng Qiuping apologetically and left with Li Xiaoran.

...

When everyone was gone, a guard appeared beside Deng Qiuping and said something.

When Deng Qiuping heard the guard’s words, he looked at Qin Meizhen’s departing figure and smiled.

“Li Xiaoran, I think Young Master Deng is a good person. Why did you pull me away?” Qin Meizhen asked.

“If I hadn’t pulled you away, you would have gotten carried away with Young Master Deng! This is a little unfair to the last young master! Let’s go and see the last one!” Li Xiaoran avoided Qin Meizhen’s question and came up with a reason.

When Qin Meizhen heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she felt that it made sense and went to look for the last person.

In the end, she didn’t see anyone even after a long time.

Just as Qin Meizhen was about to give up, the sound of fighting suddenly sounded.

Li Xiaoran and the others, who were resting at the stone table, saw a black and a red figure fighting.

Before they could take a closer look, the two figures quickly separated again.

Coincidentally, the man in red landed on a road not far from Qin Meizhen.
