Chapter 78

78 Jumping in Anger

After such a thing happened, Luo Cheng could only keep his doubts about Li Xiaoran in his heart.

At this moment, it was better to settle w.a.n.g Mingjiang’s matter and those a.s.sa.s.sins first.

Anyway, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t harm him, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it now.

Luo Han accepted Li Xiaoran’s suggestion and found an excuse to send someone to invite Minister Wu over.

Li Shun and the others also took advantage of their free time to wash up and change their clothes.

Originally, putting on new clothes was a happy thing, but at this moment, Li Shun and his family were no longer in a happy mood.

“By the way, are we still buying an ox cart?” Li Shun suddenly asked when he remembered why he had come today.

“Buy an ox cart?” Luo Han looked at Luo Cheng. “Why would I buy an ox cart? We should buy a carriage!”

“Why buy a carriage? We’re going to open a shop now, so we need to buy a lot of things in the future. An ox cart is more suitable!” Luo Cheng explained directly.

With that, Luo Cheng looked at Luo Han. “If you don’t go, send someone to bring me to buy an ox cart! It’s not convenient for me to go out now. Let’s talk about it after w.a.n.g Mingjiang’s matter is resolved!”

Luo Han thought for a moment, then called a bailiff over and whispered something in his ear.

The bailiff nodded, then stood aside and waited.

“It’s done. I found someone from my family who does business in the brokerage house to lead the way. With him around, you can buy an ox cart at the most affordable price!” Luo Han said with a smile.

Luo Cheng nodded and was about to take out the silver.

Seeing this, Luo Han immediately pulled him back.

“Why give out silver? I’ve already instructed my people to pay for it first. You can pay for it after we buy the ox cart!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he didn’t refuse. Then he called his father-in-law aside and spoke with him for a while.

Li Shun remembered Luo Cheng’s words and brought Zhao Xiu and Li Xiaoqing out to buy an ox cart.

Li Xiaoran originally wanted to follow him, but she was worried about Luo Cheng, so she decided to stay.

Luo Cheng watched Li Xiaoran watch her family leave and walked over to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, Luo Han even secretly sent someone to follow them. He won’t let anything happen to Father-in-law and the others!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and felt a little relieved.

At this moment, only Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, Luo Han, and w.a.n.g Mingjiang were left in the hall.

For a moment, the four of them didn’t know what to say. The room was silent.

“Speaking of which, let me give you this house! You’ll definitely come to town often in the future. You’ll need a place to stay in.” Luo Han thought of something and said, “Anyway, I bought this house for you. Just save me a room in the future!”

Luo Cheng glanced at Luo Han and refused.

“No, I don’t like your place!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Look, your wife is laughing at you for being dishonest! You said that you don’t like my place? What’s wrong with my place?” Luo Han immediately asked.

“Your house has bad fengshui! Look, the first time I brought people to your house, so many things happened. Don’t you think it’s because the fengshui is bad?” Luo Cheng said seriously.

“You’re really something, Luo Cheng. You actually blamed all of this on this house! You, you! If you don’t want it, I won’t give it to you!” Luo Han was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet.

His buddy was so heartless. He always wanted the best for him, but he didn’t appreciate it. It infuriated him.

If not for the fact that he could not defeat Luo Cheng, he would have rushed up to teach this brat a lesson!

Li Xiaoran smiled when she saw how angry Luo Han was.

She really didn’t expect Luo Cheng to be so good at angering people.

“Alright, I can’t take your house! If I really need it, I’ll buy a house myself! You also know that it’s better for me to keep a distance from you!” Seeing that Luo Han was furious, Luo Cheng explained kindly.

Luo Han thought about Luo Cheng’s situation and didn’t argue with him anymore.

Because it was indeed inappropriate for him to interact with Luo Cheng so often now.

If it weren’t for the fact that it was a coincidence, he wouldn’t have asked Luo Cheng to meet Minister Wu.

w.a.n.g Mingjiang didn’t say anything else after he learned that he had been poisoned.

Li Xiaoran looked at him pitifully and walked over to comfort him. “Perhaps this poison can be cured. I’ll suppress the poison first. When the antidote is found, you’ll be fine!”

When w.a.n.g Mingjiang heard Li Xiaoran’s voice, he looked up and said, “Actually, I don’t care if my poison can be detoxed! I’m just wondering if my parents are really gone?”

“You mean, your parents might not be dead?” Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and said.

“That’s right. Since the other party poisoned me with a moth to a flame, their goal was to lure out my obsession. As for my sister and my parents, they were my obsession. That’s why the other party used this to mislead me when I woke up! Therefore, now that I think about it carefully, I feel that my parents might not have been harmed but captured!” w.a.n.g Mingjiang said firmly.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “After you’re cured of the poison, I’ll follow you to the cliff where your parents fell! Maybe I can help you find them!”

When w.a.n.g Mingjiang heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled.

“Thank you, Sister Ran!”

“You’re already calling me sister. I have to help you no matter what! Don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine! When Minister Wu comes, don’t get agitated. Let’s talk things through first!”

“Yes, I understand, Sister Ran! Don’t worry!” w.a.n.g Mingjiang nodded and replied obediently.

“It seems that your previous guess was right! This kid really treats your wife as his sister!” Luo Han noticed the commotion and touched Luo Cheng’s arm to signal him to look over.

Luo Cheng looked at it and said confidently, “I realized it long ago! Don’t worry, I know my wife very well. She’s just kind-hearted. There won’t be anything else!”

“Yo, tsk tsk tsk! Are you still the same aloof Luo Cheng I know? Now that we’re talking about your wife, your expression has become much gentler! Have you fallen in love with Li Xiaoran?”

“This has nothing to do with you! Do your own thing!” Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at Luo Han and said.
