On the way back, Yu Peng and Jiao Hang sat in a carriage.

As Jiao Hang sat in front of the window, he lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

Yu Peng looked at Jiao Hang and asked, “Don’t you feel a little upset that Li

Liming has been placed in an important position?”

When Jiao Hang heard this, he immediately laughed.

“I’m very envious, but I don’t feel upset. I only wish you well. Everyone’s timing is different. Li Liming’s opportunity came at this time. As for me, as long as I can work for Mr. Luo, I’ll eventually be placed in an important position one day!”

Yu Peng smiled when he heard Jiao Hang’s words.

“You have a good mentality! If you can maintain such a good mentality, your future will be promising!”

When Jiao Hang heard Yu Peng’s words, he nodded with a smile.

“Thank you for your blessings!”

“You?” Jiao Hang looked at Yu Peng curiously and said, “I keep feeling that among us, you’re the one I can’t see through the most. But my gut feeling tells me that you don’t have any ill intentions!”

Yu Peng didn’t expect to hear Jiao Hang say this. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled.

“There are many people who say that I’m scheming, but you’re the first person who believes that I don’t have any ill intentions! Aren’t you afraid that you’ve misjudged me?”

Jiao Hang said, “What’s there to be afraid of?! If I’m really wrong about you, I’ll stay away from you in the future! Besides, with Mr. Luo and the consort around, if you’re really unreliable, you won’t be able to stay in the future!” Yu Peng laughed when he heard Jiao Hang’s words.

“You’re an observant person. Although you don’t say anything on the surface, you know everything deep down.”

When Jiao Hang heard Yu Peng’s words, he touched his head in embarra.s.sment.

“Thank you for the compliment!”

On the other side, Xue Shanhui pestered Wu Qinghe to divine where his brother was.

Wu Qinghe was annoyed, so he said, “Xue Shanhui, you have to know that there are many things in this world that are predestined by the heavens. Perhaps you shouldn’t find out about this now! This is a good thing for you and your brother! When it’s time for you to know, you’ll naturally know! You don’t have to keep pestering me. I helped you divine once, but the heavens didn’t tell me.

Now is not the time!”

Xue Shanhui fell silent when he heard Wu Qinghe’s words.

Wu Qinghe looked at Xue Shanhui and thought for a moment before comforting him.

“Xue Shanhui, you’re too anxious! You’ve survived all these years, so why can’t you endure it now?!”

When Xue Shanhui heard Wu Qinghe’s words, he immediately came back to his senses.

That’s right! What was wrong with him? Previously, things were so difficult, but he survived it. Now that he had news of his brother, why was he so anxious?

Take your time. Don’t be anxious. Everything will get better!

“Thank you, buddies!” Xue Shanhui said gratefully after thinking it through.

Seeing that Xue Shanhui had figured it out, Wu Qinghe smiled and patted his shoulder.

“It’s tine. It’ll pa.s.s! When the time is right, I’ll detinitely accompany you and find your brother!”

Xue Shanhui nodded at Wu Qinghe.

Because it wasn’t far and they had rushed back, Li Xiaoran only took a day to return to Hele Village.

As soon as she arrived home, Li Xiaoran saw the anxious Luo Ziyang.

“Brother, Madam, you’re back at the right time! This time, there’s really something troublesome!”

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng looked at each other and then at Luo Ziyang.

“Ziyang, you’ve always been capable and thoughtful. Since it’s something that made you feel troubled, something big must have happened!” Li Xiaoran said, “Tell me! What exactly happened?!”

When Luo Ziyang heard Li Xiaoran’s voice, he immediately calmed down.

After sorting out his emotions, Luo Ziyang told them what had happened in the past two days.

With Old Madam Jin’s reminder, everyone expected someone to find trouble with Li Xiaoqing, but unexpectedly, those people actually captured Zhao Sisi as bait.

After Zhao Sisi disappeared, everyone went out to look for her.

While Li Xiaoqing was anxious, she received a note from a dart. The note asked Li Xiaoqing to meet up in the forest at the foot of the mountain not far away.

The other party said that Li Xiaoqing could only go alone. If they discovered another person, they would immediately kill Zhao Sisi.

Li Xiaoqing was very worried, so she had no choice but to go alone.

In the end, as Old Madam Jin had expected, the other party wanted to kidnap Li Xiaoqing as well.

This time, the other party had come prepared. Not only were they all experts, but they even had poison.

Li Xiaoqing had taken the antidote so the poison had no effect on her, but she couldn’t defeat seven or eight people all alone!

The secret guard sent by Luo Ziyang to protect Li Xiaoqing immediately appeared to protect her.

Unexpectedly, the other party also had a backup plan. Seven or eight more people appeared and surrounded the secret guards.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more dangerous, a man appeared and saved Li Xiaoqing.

Seeing this, the secret guards quickly escaped and saved Zhao Sisi.

Just like that, Li Xiaoqing returned safely.

“It’s a good thing that Xiao Qing came back safely! Ziyang, why are you so anxious?”

“The bad news is this man who saved Xiao Qing is too outstanding. I think Xiao Qing might have a good impression of this man!” Luo Ziyang hesitated for a moment before finally saying what he was worried about.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sensed that something was wrong and looked at Luo Ziyang meaningfully.

To be honest, Luo Ziyang was a good person.

He had no other family members. He was quite capable, and most importantly, they knew him.

If her sister married him, there was no need for him to marry into the family.

After all, she knew Luo Ziyang very well. If he really became her brother-in-law, he would definitely be filial to her parents.

Of course, all of this depended on whether Luo Ziyang and her sister, Li Xiaoqing, had feelings for each other.

After Luo Ziyang received Li Xiaoran’s scrutinizing gaze, he calmed down.

“Madam, I don’t know when my feelings for Xiao Qing started to change, but I want to protect her and make her happy for the rest of her life! I want to protect her and let her do whatever she wants! I originally didn’t want to show my feelings now. After all, Xiao Qing is only 15 years old. She’s still young. I wanted to slowly protect her until she started to understand love! But now, I’m afraid!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Ziyang’s words, she understood his anxiety. “Ziyang, don’t be anxious.. Wait for me to see what’s going on!”
