When Ma Mengjia heard Luo Cheng’s words, she immediately panicked. “How did this happen? Why didn’t I know about this?”

Luo Cheng looked unhappy when he heard Ma Mengjia’s words.

“What do you know? This was arranged by my father. Even I only found out at the last moment! As for you, what does it matter if you know or not? All these years, when my Third Brother was wandering outside, did you ever care about how many times he was injured? Every time my Third Brother was on the brink of death, did you appear? Now, you’re putting up an act here?” Ma Mengjia was furious when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“Seventh Prince, how can you say that?! I’m your sister-in-law after all!”

Luo Cheng snorted and said disdainfully, “Now you know that you’re my sister-in-law? Have you ever been nice to my Third Brother all these years?”

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran quickly tried to smooth things over. “Third Sister-in -law, don’t blame my husband for being rude. It’s mainly because something happened to Third Brother. Madam, there’s no news at all. Third Brother has been taken away by Father’s men, but you came here to show my husband att.i.tude, so he feels upset! Why don’t you go back to the capital and ask Father where he brought him?”

Ma Mengjia also knew that the Seventh Prince had never been nice to anyone, but she hadn’t interacted much with him in the past, so she didn’t care.

She didn’t expect him to show her att.i.tude today!

After taking a few deep breaths, Ma Mengjia forced herself to calm down. She couldn’t let her emotions affect her.

After all, she had not achieved her goal, so how could she leave so easily?

Ma Mengjia didn’t believe that the Third Prince had been taken away by the emperor’s men at all. She kept feeling that Luo Cheng was lying to her.

After thinking this through, Ma Mengjiang glanced at Luo Cheng coldly.

“Seventh Prince, you’re really getting too big for your britches! However, it’s normal for someone who is even willing to leave his own family to be this arrogant!”

As soon as she said this, before Luo Cheng could say anything, he heard a crisp slap.

The person who hit her was none other than Li Xiaoran, who was standing beside Ma Mengjia.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran’s face was filled with anger as she glared at Ma Mengjia fiercely.

“I’m only calling you Third Sister-in-law on account of my father! Unexpectedly, you didn’t appreciate it and pushed your luck! Do you really think I, Li Xiaoran, am a pushover? Why? Are you used to being the third prince’s consort in the capital, so you think you can do whatever you want? If you’re so delusional, I don’t mind waking you up!”

Ma Mengjia covered the side of her face with her hand as resentment appeared in her eyes.

“Who do you think you are? You’re just a country b.u.mpkin. How dare you hit me?!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Xiaoran attacked again.

Ma Mengjia was furious. Just as she was about to hit Li Xiaoran, she felt pain and flew into the sky.

“Ah!” Ma Mengjia was terrified and screamed in fear.

However, this scream didn’t last long before it stopped!

Ma Mengjia was thrown to the ground outside the Luo family’s house.

When Li Xiaoran saw the annoying person being kicked away by Luo Cheng, she immediately laughed.

“Husband, why did you attack her? What will you do if Third Brother comes looking for trouble with you in the future?”

“Don’t worry, Third Brother isn’t stupid. He won’t make things difficult for me because of such a crazy woman!” Luo Cheng wasn’t worried about these things at all. “Hmph, I don’t care who she is. I’ll beat her up regardless!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

Shu Ruyue, who happened to pa.s.s by, trembled when she saw this scene.

“Oh my G.o.d, what a protective couple! They’re so violent and direct! But why am I so envious?! It feels so good to have someone protecting you!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you too!” Wu Qinghe said to Shu Ruyue.

Shu Ruyue was startled. Just as she was about to scream, Wu Qinghe covered her mouth and brought her away quickly.

Luo Cheng smiled when he heard the commotion.

“Let’s go! Xiaoran, this annoying person has been dealt with, so let’s go to the study! I can tell you about the construction of the workshop!”

After Li Xiaoran nodded, the couple returned to the study hand in hand.

Ma Mengjia, who was outside the door, was helped up by the old servants and maids she had brought.

After being slapped twice by Li Xiaoran, her pretty face was already swollen.

After that, she was kicked away by Luo Cheng. Now, her entire body hurt.

Ma Mengjia couldn’t be bothered to cause trouble for Luo Cheng anymore. She quickly asked someone to send her to the carriage and went to town to find a doctor to treat her.

Women who lived an indulgent life for a long time were physically weak.

After finding the doctor, Ma Mengjia realized that she was injured in several places.

She would need to recuperate in bed for a few months before she could move around!

Ma Mengjia resented Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran to the core.

She couldn’t even walk around, so how could she complete what that person had instructed?!

After Li Xiaoran learned of this, she immediately realized something. “Husband, did you do this on purpose?”

“That’s right! Wouldn’t you be vexed if she caused trouble under our noses all day long? Since she’s an eyesore, let her rest well. Isn’t being injured the best reason? Don’t worry, I know my limits. She only needs to recuperate for three to four months!” Luo Cheng said.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately amused.

“If we really let her recuperate for three to four months, it will probably be too late!”

Luo Cheng said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Ma Mengjia won’t let this go! She brought people with her! However, it’s easy to deal with the others! Besides, if we don’t force her, how can we find the person behind her?”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately gave him a thumbs up.

As expected, her man was the best at dealing with this sort of power struggle!

As for her, she just needed to settle the workshop’s matters!

The Third Prince also received a message from Luo Cheng.

After knowing that Ma Mengjia had been taught a lesson by Luo Cheng, the Third Prince smiled.

“Go back and tell your master that she deserved it! He doesn’t have to do anything in the future.. I’ll settle scores with Ma Mengjia!”
