Chapter 591: Li Yan Causes Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Without needing Li Xiaoqing and the others to take action, the customers in the shop made these people feel ashamed.
Originally, many of these people were here for Mr. Luo. They wanted to see what the prince and princess looked like. They weren’t here to make enemies.
Seeing the woman’s actions, the others changed sides. All of them wanted to disa.s.sociate themselves from her.
One of the men stood up and explained, ‘We’re not with her. We just wanted to try the sliced noodles and see if we could see the consort. To be honest, we’re just curious and want to see what the prince and the princess are like. We don’t have any ill intentions!”
The others quickly explained, “That’s right! We heard that the consort appeared in the shop, so we came to take a look. We have no ill intentions!”
When Kang Zheng heard these people’s words, he quickly came out to rea.s.sure them.
“I’ll say it again. We welcome everyone who comes to eat. If anyone comes to cause trouble, we definitely won’t tolerate them! Yuan Cheng, Mao Dao, help capture this woman and send her straight to the government office!”
When the woman heard that they wanted to bring her to see the officials, she immediately felt fearful.
“I know I was wrong. I won’t dare to cause trouble again in the future! It’s my fault. I was possessed and wanted to take advantage of you. Please forgive me this time on account that we’re all villagers!”
When Kang Zheng heard this, he didn’t relent at all.
Kang Zheng asked, “We gave you a chance and warned you before, but unfortunately, you didn’t repent at all! Now that we caught you red-handed, you’re begging for mercy? If you hadn’t been caught by us and successfully placed these things in the bowl of noodles, would you have let things go?”
When the woman heard Kang Zheng’s words, she opened her mouth, but couldn’t think of a single word to say.
If that was really the case, she definitely would have made a fuss until this shop couldn’t continue operating.
Kang Zheng knew what the woman was thinking when he saw her expression, so he called someone in to capture her and send her straight to the government office.
The commotion quickly reached Li Xiaoran’s ears.
After Li Xiaoran learned of this, she looked at Luo Ziyang.
“Ziyang, I’m afraid things aren’t that simple. Get someone to follow that woman! Our shop has encountered the same thing since it opened. After Luo
Cheng dealt with it, no one dared to use such methods to cause trouble again.
Now that Luo Cheng have just been conferred the t.i.tle of king, someone immediately used such a clumsy method to cause trouble. There must be something fishy!”
When Luo Ziyang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he also realized this.
“Madam, don’t worry. I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on that woman! ” Li Xiaoran nodded and put this matter aside.
To be honest, it was normal for the people around her to be curious about her and Luo Cheng. If it were her, she would also be curious about people like the prince and the consort.
However, it was a little overboard to do something like this.
The next day, after Luo Ziyang received the news, he came to look for Li Xiaoran.
“Madam, you’re right. This woman was really instructed by someone. The person behind this is actually related to you!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she immediately thought of something.
“Are you talking about Li Yan?” Luo Ziyang nodded.
“That’s right, it’s her!”
After Li Xiaoran received a definite answer, she immediately sneered.
“The fox may grow gray but never good. My cousin is already someone else’s wife, yet she still likes to play such tricks! In that case, if I don’t return the favor, I’ll be letting her down!”
“Madam, what do you plan to do?” Luo Ziyang immediately asked, “Do you need my help?”
Li Xiaoran said, “Of course I do! If I’m not mistaken, my husband has been sending people to keep an eye on Li Yan! Tell me, what stupid things did my arrogant and vain cousin do in the capital?!”
Luo Ziyang immediately laughed when he heard that.
“She did a lot of stupid things. Madam, let me tell you slowly!”
Then, Luo Ziyang told him what Li Yan had done to help Ai Mingze, Qi Fei, and the others with the test questions through Pei Xuanxin.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her mouth dropped agape.
As expected, her cousin had never disappointed her. She was really a troublemaker!
“Wait, since you know about this, why weren’t Qi Fei and Ai Mingze exposed for the cheating scandal back then?” Li Xiaoran thought of the key point.
Luo Ziyang explained, “Ai Mingze has nothing to do with it, but Qi Fei has a prominent background. Someone protected him and helped him deal with the aftermath. The imperial court didn’t have anything on him, so they were lucky enough to dodge the bullet!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she nodded.
Actually, Li Xiaoran knew that the emperor had lightened the punishment for the cheating scandal back then.
If the emperor dealt with the scandal strictly, more than half of the officials in the imperial court would probably have been implicated.
If that was the case, the imperial court wouldn’t be able to find a suitable person to fill so many empty positions for the time being.
With no other choice, the emperor could only deal with it leniently.
It seemed that Qi Fei and Qi Mingze had also benefited from this lenient treatment and were lucky enough to dodge the bullet!
“I’m sure my cousin-in-law doesn’t know about the stupid things my cousin did! Think of a way to reveal this to Pei Xuanxin. I want to see if my cousin-in-law, who was tricked by his wife, will still treat my cousin so well,” Li Xiaoran said.
Luo Ziyang nodded and immediately went to arrange this matter.
Of course, she didn’t hide this from Luo Cheng. At night, Li Xiaoran told Luo
Cheng what she had done.
Luo Cheng said with a smile, “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten about this! Actually, I originally planned to expose this matter during the cheating scandal and see what Pei Xuanxin would choose. In the end, I forgot about this! Let Pei Xuanxin see what kind of person he’s sleeping with!”
Coincidentally, when Luo Ziyang arranged for someone to reveal what Li Yan had done to Pei Xuanxin, Pei Xuanxin was also looking for Luo Cheng.
Speaking of which, Pei Xuanxin wanted to thank the benefactor who gave him the silver back then.
This time, Pei Xuanxin wanted to find a benefactor who had helped him in order to repay him.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t find his benefactor..
