After the Third Prince returned to the residence, he heard a commotion inside.

With a slight frown, the Third Prince hesitated for a moment before walking into the main courtyard.

At this moment, the house was in a mess.

The third prince’s consort looked at the servants kneeling on the ground with a straight face.

“How exactly did you take care of the little master? You guys actually let him injure his arm. This is unforgivable!”

The young master the Third Prince was talking about was the eldest son of the Third Prince, Ling Dongfeng.

This child had been weak since he was born, so he was nurtured very meticulously by the third prince’s consort. Naturally, he was also very frail.

If he wasn’t careful, he would get injured.

Today, when Ling Dongfeng was playing outside, he accidentally fell on the lawn. His hand scraped against a rock and it lacerated his skin. He was bleeding.

After the third prince’s consort found out, she called the servants who took care of Ling Dongfeng over to lecture them and thought about how to punish these two maids.

Seeing the Third Prince walk in, the consort didn’t even look at him.

Seeing this, the Third Prince’s expression turned cold.

“It’s no big deal. Children get small injuries all the time. Do you have to make such a fuss? Just call the imperial doctor to bandage the wound and prescribe some medicine to improve the healing of the wound!”

When the third prince’s consort heard his words, she snorted.

“Dongfeng isn’t a piece of meat that fell from your body, so of course you can say it so easily. It’s just a little blood, so it’s really not a big deal to you.”

When the Third Prince heard the Third Prince’s consort’s sarcastic words, he was furious.

“Ma Mengjia, what’s the point of acting like this? If you’re unwilling to stay married to me, we can get a divorce. I, Ling Heng, won’t force you to be my consort. Yes, Father decreed that we should get married, but if we really can’t live together, we can get a divorce!”

When the third prince’s consort heard this, her expression turned cold.

“You make it sound so nice. I was forced to marry you. Even after I divorce you, how can I find a good relationship? I’m just angry that you and your father ruined my life. Now, you’re so kind as to let me get a divorce?”

When the Third Prince heard the Third Prince’s consort’s words, his heart turned cold.

“I thought that as long as I treated you well, I could win you over and we could live a good life together! It seems that I really overestimated myself! Even after we gave birth to a child, your heart still isn’t with me!”

The sad Third Prince didn’t notice the panic in the Third Prince’s consort’s eyes when he mentioned the child.

“Ma Mengjia, think about it carefully! I’ve accepted a job today and have to go out for a while. During this period of time, you and I should think about whether we should continue our marriage! If you can’t get along with me, let’s get a divorce! Don’t worry, I’ll explain to Father. I won’t make things difficult for you or the Ma family!” The Third Prince left after saying this.

After returning to his study and getting someone to pack some clothes, the Third Prince got into the carriage and left the capital.

After the Third Prince left, the panicked Third Prince’s consort and vented all her anger on the two maidservants.

The third prince’s consort said coldly, “Why are you still kneeling here? Someone, drag the two of them away and beat them 20 times before selling them off!”

Although the two maids were very afraid, they still didn’t dare to plead for leniency because they knew very well that if they pleaded for leniency while the consort was angry, they would be punished even more severely. Therefore, they might as well be punished obediently and sold. Perhaps they could live a good life after being sold!

The Third Prince’s departure attracted the attention of many people.

When they realized that the Third Prince was heading straight for Sichuan, they immediately had a guess.

Could it be that the emperor had called the Third Prince into the palace because of Luo Cheng?

After Li Xiaoran returned, she began to make plans for the food street.

Li Xiaoran went to town to investigate first, then went to the fields near the official road to take a look.

In the end, they decided to build a food town near the official road.

Building a town wasn’t that simple. It would cost a lot of money.

Luo Cheng couldn’t fork out this sum of money to build a town now.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran could only think of another way.

The food town was made up of several streets, so they could build a food street first.

After the food street was built, it would slowly attract a lot of people. This would prepare for the construction of towns and entertainment facilities in the future.

It was easy to build a food street.

However, they couldn’t build it randomly. They had to plan it.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran decided to leave professional matters to professionals.

After Luo Cheng learned of Li Xiaoran’s plans, he said, “Why don’t I go with you to the vicinity of the official road tomorrow to take a look? The most important thing is to see how big this piece of land is. Can we requisition it? I’ll get a few people who can explore the terrain to draw the scope of this piece of land!” Li Xiaoran thought about it and felt that it was fine.

They would plan first, then see who the land belonged to, then see which land could be bought, and then plan things.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Husband, do you have anyone who knows how to draw a map?”

“I don’t, but Luo Han does! When this place is built, it’ll solve many livelihood

problems for the commoners. I can borrow a few people from Luo Han! If there’s really no other way, I’ll go to the Ministry of Labor to poach people!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately amused.

“That’s right. If we need manpower, we should just find manpower!”

Luo Cheng thought of something important and asked, “Alright, don’t worry about these things for now. The grilled fish shop will officially open tomorrow. Do you want to take a look?”

“Didn’t it already open for business previously?” Li Xiaoran thought that she had misheard.

“Previously, it was just a trial operation to see the feedback of the customers. Now, everyone feels that the grilled fish business is feasible, so they’re preparing to officially open for business! Not only in town, but the grilled fish shop in White Foothill City is also going to open!” Luo Cheng said, “But we don’t have to go to White Foothill City. Just let Luo Han handle it!” “You used up all of Luo Han’s resources!” Li Xiaoran teased.

“It’s fine. That guy is like an ox. If he doesn’t do anything, he’ll feel uncomfortable!” Luo Cheng joked..
