Wu Qinghe looked at Shu Ruyue and said, “Let’s go now! There’s still an hour and a half until we eat grilled fish tonight, so let’s go out for a walk!” “You want me to go with you?” Shu Ruyue asked in surprise.
“That’s right! If you don’t accompany me, who will?! Let’s go!” Wu Qinghe said and reached out to pull Shu Ruyue away.
“Hey, Xiaoran, do you want to go out?” Shu Ruyue asked.
“I won’t go. Have fun! Ruyue, don’t worry. I won’t go out until you come back!” Li Xiaoran created an opportunity for Wu Qinghe.
Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue left together.
After the two of them left, Li Xiaoran instantly felt much more at ease.
At this moment, Luo Cheng finished preparing the medicine and walked out with a tired expression.
“Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue were here just now, right?” Luo Cheng asked.
“That’s right! Something happened between these two people. Their relationship has finally improved a little!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“Yes, I’ll go and rest first. I’m a little tired!” Luo Cheng nodded and said, “By the way, Xiaoran, how about I arrange for Third Brother to live in the village? I originally wanted him to live here, but after thinking about it, I felt that it
wasn’t safe here!”
“Sure! However, is the village safer than here?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
“Yes! It’s safer in the village!” Luo Cheng nodded and replied without explaining the reason.
“Then send him back to the village to recuperate!” Li Xiaoran agreed readily.
“We’re still eating grilled fish tonight, right?”
“You guys can go ahead and eat! I’ll settle Third Brother down first! I’ll look for you later tonight!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “I’ll be a little worried if I don’t send Third Brother home safely!”
“Alright! Then go rest first! Be careful at night!” Li Xiaoran reminded him with concern.
Luo Cheng nodded and went to rest.
Li Xiaoran had nothing to do and didn’t want to waste her time thinking about anything, so she simply went to the toolshed to get some hoes and went to the vegetable garden at the back to dig.
The veggies had been planted, but they weren’t finished and some of the veggies had already grown weeds.
Li Xiaoran decided to pull out the grass first before turning the soil.
She couldn’t keep using medicine to nurse her health. She had to exercise as well.
However, there were too many weeds. Li Xiaoran was actually buried inside.
From the outside, it was impossible to tell that anyone was there.
Li Xiaoran was a little tired, so she simply sat down on the grass to rest.
At that moment, two people who had come to deliver goods walked over from the kitchen.
There was a back door beside the vegetable garden. Generally speaking, the people who delivered the things came in through the back door.
Therefore, it was normal for these two people to leave through the back door after sending the things.
Although Li Xiaoran heard someone talking, she ignored them. No one could see her anyway.
At this moment, a voice sounded and immediately attracted Li Xiaoran’s attention.
“Hey, did you hear? The mayor of White Foothill City was pestered by a crazy woman! That woman kept saying that she was the mayor’s wife, but she was chased out of White Foothill City by the mayor. In the end, this woman scolded the mayor at the city gate every day for being ungrateful and refusing to recognize his wife!”
“Huh, there’s such a thing? The mayor of White Foothill City is the county magistrate here, right?! The county magistrate seems very young and doesn’t have a family, right?” Another person said in confusion.
“Who knows? Only the mayor and that crazy woman know the truth about this!
But speaking of which, if I were the mayor, I would probably have a headache if I met such a crazy woman! I heard that although that woman is good-looking, she has a bad personality. Whenever she sees a young and beautiful woman passing by the mayor’s residence, she captures her and whips her. Tsk, tsk, tsk. How vicious!” The person who spoke first said.
As the two of them walked away, their voices faded.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she frowned.
With her understanding of Luo Han, he wasn’t such a person at all.
Now that this news had spread from White Foothill City to town, it could be seen how bad the impact was.
Li Xiaoran’s first reaction was that someone wanted to set Luo Han up.
This was because once Luo Han’s reputation was ruined, if he messed up on anything, he might no longer be able to be the mayor of White Foothill City. Speaking of which, the position of White Foothill City’s mayor was really covetable now.
It might not have been so in the past, but things were different now.
They had coal mines, gold, silver, and iron mines.
Logically speaking, the news sent by Luo Cheng should have already reached the emperor, so other factions would definitely find out about the few mines in White Foothill City.
As soon as this news spread, the position of White Foothill City’s mayor became very coveted.
No wonder some people couldn’t sit still and started targeting Luo Han.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran was no longer in the mood to pull weeds. She came out of the grass and returned to the house.
Luo Cheng opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.
“Where did you go?” Luo Cheng asked curiously when he saw that Li Xiaoran was covered in weeds.
“I originally wanted to tidy up the vegetable garden at the back, but I heard two people who came into the residence to deliver things discussing that Luo Han had been pestered by a crazy woman!” Li Xiaoran patted the weeds on her body as she told him the news she had obtained.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately remembered something.
“Looks like some people are coveting the position of Lu City’s mayor!”
“I think so too! Do you want to write a letter to warn Luo Han?!” Li Xiaoran said.
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “No need!”
“We might as well rely on ourselves! Don’t be too reliant on others. If it’s really as you say and Old Master doesn’t let anyone come, Luo Han will be in danger. After all, a dead person can’t be the mayor!” Li Xiaoran reminded.
Luo Cheng froze for a moment before he fell into deep thought.
After a while, Luo Cheng spoke.
“Xiaoran, you’re right. I was careless! I’ll go and write a letter to Luo Han to remind him!”
At the same time, Luo Han, who was in the Mayor Residence of Lu City, had a cold expression on his face.
He really didn’t expect his family to drag him down every time..
