It was time for the interrogation!
To be honest, after interrogating Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran finally saw the darkest and cruelest side of the world.
Although she was surrounded, Li Xiaoran heard those people’s painful cries clearly.
Li Xiaoran could sense their emotions very clearly.
Li Xiaoran couldn’t bear it, but she didn’t do anything about it.
This was because Li Xiaoran knew very well that if they were merciful to the enemy at this moment, they would fall into the other party’s hands and suffer something a thousand times worse.
Just like what had happened in the Clear Dew Valley!
They didn’t have any grudges against Prince Fu, but for the sake of their cause, didn’t the other party attack Luo Cheng and his innocent subordinates?
She couldn’t be soft-hearted towards such crazy enemies. She had to be more ruthless than them.
Because she didn’t want Luo Cheng or her family to get hurt.
People had those they were closer to or more distant from.
When facing trouble, it was human nature to be biased towards one’s family.
In order to protect their family, their hands had to be stained with blood.
In that case, she was willing to!
Luo Cheng didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to adapt so well after walking in. He didn’t even hear her retching.
For a moment, he didn’t know if he should be happy for himself or worried about Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran was far braver and more responsible than Luo Cheng had imagined.
She had been trying her best to suppress her discomfort and the effects of empathy. Then, in her calmest state, she recorded everything she felt and heard.
Every time she made an important discovery, Li Xiaoran would write it down on paper and ask someone to pass it to Luo Cheng.
Luo Cheng also relied on Li Xiaoran’s reminder to break these people’s psychological defenses step by step and finally obtained the information he wanted.
After coming out of the cave, Li Xiaoran looked at the bright sunlight outside and then at the darkness in the cave before letting out a long sigh.
To be honest, she still wasn’t used to that kind of scene.
In this world, if there was a sunny side, there would also be a dark side.
The two had never been opposing, but connected.
Although she had experienced some hardships, she had never turned to the dark side.
Speaking of which, Li Xiaoran felt that she was lucky.
If she had a choice, she would naturally be more willing to stand in the sunlight!
But sometimes, many things weren’t up to them to decide.
Constable Zheng and the others didn’t get killed. Although they were locked up, they were still alive.
Compared to the people in the Clear Dew Valley who followed Prince Fu, they were already very lucky.
At least their opponent didn’t ignore their lives!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran suddenly felt much more cheerful!
There were many things that couldn’t be simply divided into black and white.
White might not be justice, and black might not be evil.
At least for Constable Zhenz, beinz in the dark at this moment was better than being by Prince Fu’s side and risk being killed at any time!
Of course, Constable Zheng didn’t think so at this moment, but as time passed, after they dealt with Prince Fu, he would understand!
After Luo Cheng had obtained some useful information from Constable Zheng and the others, he began to plan carefully at this moment.
After Li Xiaoran went back to wash up, she went to look for Old Madam Jin.
Hearing that Li Xiaoran was looking for her, Old Madam Jin was a little surprised, but she quickly asked someone to welcome Li Xiaoran in.
“You came at the right time. I’ve been obsessed with another food recently! Come and take a look. Do you recognize this thing?” As soon as Old Madam Jin saw Li Xiaoran, she asked someone to bring over a basin of things for her to identify.
After Li Xiaoran looked over, she immediately laughed.
“Granny Jin, where did you get this fish? This thing can only be found in the sea, but it costs a lot to transport it from the sea to here!”
When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately smiled.
“That’s right. I spent a lot of money to get so much. Since you know it, do you know what to do to make it delicious?”
“That’s simple. You can marinate it and fry it in oil. You can also fry it with flat pan oil. It also tastes quite delicious if it’s braised!” Li Xiaoran said her three favorite ways to eat fish.
When Old Madam Jin heard this, she immediately instructed the people in the kitchen to cook according to Li Xiaoran’s instructions.
Of course, she wouldn’t just choose one. She wanted all three ways to eat it.
Only children made choices. She was an adult, so she wanted all of them!
After the group went down, Old Madam Jin pulled Li Xiaoran to the vegetable garden.
An old man and a young woman were pulling weeds in the vegetable garden while talking.
Old Madam Jin glanced at Li Xiaoran and asked, “You have something to discuss with Granny Jin, right?”
Li Xiaoran nodded and asked what was on her mind.
“Granny Jin, something happened this morning, but I don’t understand! As you know, now that the emperor has passed away and Prince Fu has ascended the throne, the original Prince Fu has also become the crown prince of the East Palace. The other princes of the late emperor were either killed or wanted, so when I was bullied by a constable today, I expected it! It’s just that I don’t understand. On the surface, my husband and I have already been conferred the title of overlords. Even if the dynasty changes, there’s no need to keep such a close eye on us!”
When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately sighed.
“Xiaoran! You’re too simple-sided and don’t understand the overall situation!
Think about it, why did the late emperor suddenly restore his identity as the Seventh Prince and acknowledge you as his daughter-in-law? Is all of this really because the late emperor gained a conscience?” When Li Xiaoran heard the guard’s words, she was stunned.
“I think that’s at least half the reason!”
Old Madam Jin said, “You think too highly of human nature! The reason the late emperor found his conscience was because he saw Luo Cheng’s excellence. Otherwise, no matter how guilty he felt towards Luo Cheng, he wouldn’t have done so many things! Have you ever thought about why Luo Cheng didn’t receive the late emperor’s care when he was young? Because he was worthless at that time! A worthless son naturally wasn’t worth the late emperor’s attention. After all, the late emperor had many sons!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was stunned.
“For the same reason, Prince Fu naturally noticed Mr. Luo’s excellence! It’s precisely because Mr. Luo is outstanding that Mr. Fu is wary of him! Think about it, Prince Fu ascended the throne by using dirty methods!” Old Madam Jin reminded her again..
