Young Master Xie didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say this out loud. In the end, he could only nod awkwvardly.

“What do you mean?! Actually, I know what others say about me, but I don’t care! After all, I’m the consort. No matter how jealous they are, they can only watch me be the consort!” Li Xiaoran said.

“Aren’t you angry?” Young Master Xie didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to say that.

“Why should I be angry? Just because others are green with envy? Do I have to care about their jealousy? I don’t care! I just wanna live my own life instead of getting angry over irrelevant people!” Li Xiaoran said indifferently, “In this world, as long as one is outstanding, one will be envied! So it’s normal for others to be envious of me!”

Young Master Xie didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to think that way.

However, if he were Li Xiaoran, he probably wouldn’t be as open-minded as her.

At this moment, the way Young Master Xie looked at Li Xiaoran changed.

Previously, he became respectful because Li Xiaoran was the consort, but at this moment, Young Master Xie really admired Li Xiaoran from the bottom of his heart.

Although Young Master Xie was a rich kid, he wasn’t an ignorant and incompetent person.

On the contrary, Young Master Xie was very good at doing business.

After interacting with people over the long term, Young Master Xie knew very well that he wasn’t as open-minded as Li Xiaoran.

Although he understood that it was best not to be angry over trifling matters, he couldn’t do it!

Therefore, Young Master Xie admired Li Xiaoran’s open-mindedness and wisdom.

“Consort, you’re indeed an eccentric woman. You see through people’s hearts and human nature very clearly! I have a lot to learn from you!” Li Xiaoran could sense Xie Zhen’s change, so she smiled.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. Just by distinguishing what’s worth it and what’s not, you can do the same!”

With that, Li Xiaoran planned to go back.

Xie Zhen thought of something and asked, “Consort, what kind of delicacies do

I need to make in order to buy a shop and a house?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she stopped and looked at Xie Zhen.

“Your delicacy has to be different from others. At the same time, it has to taste good! Young Master Xie, if you focus on cooking, you won’t be let down! So, you have to work hard!”

With that, Li Xiaoran turned around and returned to the village.

Xie Zhen began to ponder over Li Xiaoran’s words carefully.

Uncle Wu quickly replied to Luo Cheng.

They thanked Luo Cheng for his kindness, but they didn’t plan to do busines, since they had already opened a shop in their house.

However, there was news from the Spring Water Chicken that the mother and son would come over to open a shop.

These two pieces of news surprised Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “If Uncle Wu is unwilling to open a mutton shop, let’s tind someone else to do this business! We can also take care of Uncle Wu’s business and buy mutton from him!”

“What are you planning to do?” Luo Cheng asked.

Li Xiaoran said, “I plan to open a mutton shop! I can sell mutton soup, roast whole sheep, and roast mutton skewers!”

“Do you have anyone you can use?” Luo Cheng reminded her.

After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she immediately became dejected.

It seemed that she really didn’t have any manpower!

Li Xiaoran said, “Why don’t we recruit some disabled soldiers who retired from the battlefield and let them work in the mutton shop?!”

For the first time, Luo Cheng shook his head and rejected Li Xiaoran’s idea of using disabled soldiers.

“Xiaoran, I know you’re kind-hearted and want to help as much as possible! It’s just that I’ve accepted enough disabled soldiers at the moment. If I accept more, it’ll attract too much attention! Going overboard is as bad as not doing enough! If we don’t handle it well, we’ll cause big trouble!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately sensed something.

“What happened?”

Luo Cheng hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Just the day before yesterday, a group of disabled soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield actually rebelled in the name of overthrowing a fatuous ruler. They listed my father’s ten crimes, which included deducting military salary and cotton clothes, forging weapons, and disregarding the lives of soldiers. As soon as the news spread, my father was enraged! At this time, it would be too scandalous for us to accept disabled soldiers who had retired from the army!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was shocked.

Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and reminded anxiously, “Why did such a thing happen at this time?! In that case, we have to send people to keep an eye on the people in our farmstead! If instigators try to cause a rebellion, we’ll be the scapegoats!”

“Xiaoran, don’t worry. I expected this long ago, so I secretly arranged for people to keep an eye on the people in the farmstead! During this period of time, don’t go to the farmstead. Bring a few more people when you go out. You must make Shu Ruyue stay by your side,” Luo Cheng reminded.

“I understand. I’ll be careful during this period of time!” Li Xiaoran nodded.

After the couple discussed this matter, they stopped worrying about it.

It was useless to let their imagination run wild. In any case, they had done everything they could.

That night, something really happened at the farmstead.

Someone actually set fire to the farmstead at night.

One had to know that many people lived in wooden houses on the farmstead.

Previously, there was no place to house everyone, so they built this wooden house.

Now that the house in the farmstead had been built, it was about time to move into the house, but this incident happened beforehand.

When Luo Cheng received the news, it was already midnight.

After Li Xiaoran was woken up, she rubbed her eyes and asked, “What happened?”

Luo Cheng replied as he put on his clothes, “Someone set fire to the farmstead.

Fortunately, my people discovered it in time and didn’t cause much damage. However, I’m going over to take a look now. Rest at home!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sobered up.

“I’ll go with you! If I encounter anyone with ill intentions, I can help you identify them!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.. “Then you should disguise yourself as a man like before! It’s safer this way!”
