Most people said that she was lucky, but no one thought about it carefully. If she really didn’t have any capabilities, how could she defeat the emperor, the empress dowager, and the others?
Those were all masters of scheming!
Even if Luo Cheng was unwilling to divorce his wife, he had a thousand ways to make her disappear.
For example, although she and Luo Cheng seemed to be doing well on the surface, they had secretly experienced many dangers and difficulties.
Before they returned to the capital, they had experienced assassination attempts countless times and Luo Cheng had experienced many difficulties after regaining his status as a prince.
That was why she had just said that the greater the benefits, the greater the risk.
Her second uncle and aunt were bewitched by wealth. They only saw the benefits and not the risks.
Li Xiaoran said, “Don’t do anything yet. I’ll also remind Mao Dao not to come and propose marriage first. It’s not appropriate to propose marriage now. We have to let your parents experience some setbacks before coming back to their senses. Don’t they want you to climb up the social ladder? Then let them climb up first! If the whip doesn’t land on them, they’ll never know pain. Don’t resist when the time comes. Just cooperate and put on an act!”
Zhao Sisi admired her cousin, Li Xiaoran, so when she heard that Li Xiaoran wanted to help her, she nodded.
“Alright, Cousin, I’ll do whatever you say!”
Li Xiaoran patted Zhao Sisi’s hand and said, “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I still have to go home and cook dishes for my parents later! Remember my words. Don’t worry and just focus on recuperating. Don’t go against your parents. Just listen to them. I will take care of everything for you!” Zhao Sisi nodded and said, “Alright, I believe you, so I’ll leave it to you!” After this matter was settled, Li Xiaoran left.
Luo Cheng and Zhao Long had been talking in the living room for a while.
Jin Xiaojing had been very anxious. Seeing that her husband couldn’t get to the point, she decided to take action herself.
Jin Xiaojing said, ‘Mr. Luo, after experiencing such a thing, Sisi’s reputation has been ruined. Now, she’s at the age of marriage, but there are such unpleasant rumors about her. How did this poor child encounter such a thing? Mr. Luo, you know many people and they believe in you. Why don’t you help
Sisi take a look and see if there’s a suitable candidate?!”
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse when he saw his wife, Li Xiaoran, coming.
“Aunt, you should look for me about this! Mr. Luo knows all kinds of men, but I know many high-ranking officials and nobles! Not to mention anything else, as long as I send a post, I can invite them over! Xiao Qing implicated Sisi this time, so don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a good husband for her. Otherwise, I’ll feel guilty!” Li Xiaoran took responsibility for this matter.
Although Luo Cheng didn’t understand why Li Xiaoran would take responsibility for this, he remained silent and let Li Xiaoran do whatever she wanted.
When Jin Xiaojing heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly said her request.
“Sigh, Xiaoran is so kind-hearted and cares so much about Sisi. Actually, we don’t have high requirements. It’s fine as long as Sisi can live a good life and their conditions are better than the Hu family! The Hu family underestimated us last time. We have to fight for our pride this time!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Jin Xiaojing’s words, the smile on her face widened.
“Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll definitely find Sisi a husband who’s countless times better than the Hu family’s boy!”
With Li Xiaoran’s assurance, Jin Xiaojing and Zhao Long were relieved.
Mao Dao, who was waiting, was extremely anxious. Every time he wanted to come forward and express his feelings, he would be glared at by Li Xiaoran.
Mao Dao had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and continue standing.
After that, Zhao Long and Jin Xiaojing asked Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran to stay for dinner at home, but they were rejected by Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.
On the way back, before Luo Cheng could speak, Mao Dao lost his patience.
“Madam, you clearly know what I’m thinking, but you said those words just now and even promised to choose a husband for Sisi. What exactly is going on?! Hurry up and tell me! If you don’t tell me, I’ll die of anxiety!” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Mao Dao’s anxious look. “Alright, don’t be anxious. Don’t worry! This is just a temporary measure!” With that, Li Xiaoran analyzed what she had said to Zhao Sisi to Mao Dao.
Li Xiaoran said, “So, you can’t be anxious about this matter. You can’t go straight to the Zhao family to propose marriage during this period of time. If you really want to marry my cousin, behave yourself. When I inform you, you can propose marriage!”
When Mao Dao heard this, he immediately revealed a silly smile.
“Madam, thank you so much! Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do!”
“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. Mao Dao, I have something to say first. You should know my cousin’s personality very well. If my cousin marries into your family and your family makes her suffer, I have plenty of ways to deal with you! You’d better not let that happen.” Li Xiaoran gave Mao Dao a warning.
“Madam, don’t worry. After I marry Sisi, I’ll treat her well for the rest of my life! As for my family, I’ll protect her from them! I’ve thought it through. Whether my wife is doing well in her in-laws’ house depends on my attitude as a man. If I protect her, my family won’t go overboard. Of course, if my family doesn’t understand and makes things difficult for Sisi, I’ll take the initiative to stand up for Sisi,” Mao Dao said with a serious expression.
Li Xiaoran said ruthlessly, “Mao Dao, remember what you said! You should know that if I find out that you didn’t keep your promise, you and your family will suffer!”
Mao Dao nodded again and said,
“Madam, just watch my actions!”
Li Xiaoran said, “Alright, I’ll wait and see!” After separating from Mao Dao, Luo Cheng said,
“Do you think that highly of Mao Dao?”
“It’s not that I think highly of him.. It’s just that my cousin likes Mao Dao!” Li Xiaoran said, “As for my second uncle and second aunt, after they experience a setback, they’ll come to their senses!”
