Granny Jin said, “He will eliminate all the dangerous factors. This is the reason the late emperor’s princes were all killed. Now that the Third Prince is on the run and the Seventh Prince has been conferred the t.i.tle of overlord, he will become a big problem for Prince Fu! If he doesn’t eliminate you, he won’t be able to sit on the throne with peace of mind. Under such circ.u.mstances, it’s normal for the current emperor to attack you!”

“So, we can only deal with it in a pa.s.sive position and protect my family!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood something.

Perhaps Prince Fu was afraid that the Third Prince was colluding with Luo Cheng!

If the Third Prince and Luo Cheng rebelled, it would definitely be a big problem for them.

Therefore, no matter what, Prince Fu had a strong desire to get rid of them.

“Why did such a thing happen at this juncture? If I had a few more years to develop, everything would be different!” Li Xiaoran said gloomily.

“Perhaps Prince Fu also understood this, so he chose to take action at this time! Because Prince Fu knows that if he lets Luo Cheng develop, it will be even more difficult for him to sit on the throne, or it will become impossible!” Old

Madam Jin a.n.a.lyzed, “In this situation, Prince Fu can only strike first!”

Li Xiaoran also knew that Granny Jin was right, so she immediately sighed.

To be honest, the timing was really inconvenient!

Even if she were given another year, they wouldn’t be in such a pa.s.sive position.

The future she had planned had just begun, so why had she encountered trouble at this time?

Old Madam Jin could tell that Li Xiaoran was worried, so she thought for a moment and said, “Actually, on the bright side, this is an opportunity for you two.”

Li Xiaoran understood what Granny Jin meant, but she shook her head.

“Granny Jin, I don’t understand these things. I just want to live a good life and let the commoners under White Foothill City’s jurisdiction live a better life! In the end, the commoners will still suffer the most from power struggles!”

When Old Madam Jin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately laughed.

“As expected, I didn’t misjudge you! Even under such circ.u.mstances, you’re still thinking about the commoners! Girl, don’t be confused and worried. Try your best to do what you want! As long as you experience it, the final outcome isn’t important! Don’t leave any regrets in your life!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and remembered Old Madam Jin’s words.

After the fish were ready, Old Madam Jin asked Li Xiaoran to bring some back to send to her grandfather and grandmother.

Li Xiaoran nodded and left with the food box.

On the way to the countryside, Li Xiaoran saw countless laborers busy in the fields.

“Xiaoran, where are you going with the food box?” A woman greeted Li Xiaoran with a smile.

“I’m just delivering it for someone!” Li Xiaoran replied asked, “Are you going to plant crops?”

“That’s right. It’s time to make arrangements. It’ll be too late if we delay any longer! The rapeseeds, peas, radishes, and cabbages should be planted now! Whether there are any vegetables to eat this winter will depend on our hard work during this nerind of time”‘ The woman said with a smile

“Can you guys handle it? The farmers here are all old people!” Li Xiaoran said with concern.

“Of course we can! Thanks to you and Mr. Luo, all the young people in our family have a job. Now that our family’s conditions are much better, we have something to live for! Although we’re all old, we’re still good at farming! Young people should be allowed to go out and earn money. This way, we’ll feel more motivated farming at home!” With that, the woman laughed heartily.

Li Xiaoran remembered very clearly that this woman’s eldest son and youngest son had both entered the workshop, and her eldest daughter-in-law had also gone to the braised dishes workshop to work.

This family was diligent and efficient.

“That’s because your family is diligent. Otherwise, the workshop wouldn’t have hired them!” Li Xiaoran replied with a smile.

“You can’t say that! If it weren’t for the workshop you and Mr. Luo built providing us with such a good job, our family wouldn’t have been able to live together like now! We would definitely have to live separately for a long time and wouldn’t be able to see our son so often. Things are different now. We earn more money and our family can take care of us. How good is that?!” The woman had a blissful smile on her face.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “That’s right! I also hope that more and more people can do the same. With families living together, everyone won’t have to go out to earn money and be separated from each other. Therefore, go back and encourage your family to work hard! After the workshop is done, more and more families will be able to live a good life!”

The woman nodded and watched Li Xiaoran leave.

As for Li Xiaoran, after sensing the woman’s sincere bliss, her previous worries dissipated.

No matter what, for the sake of these villagers, she should toughen up and deal with Mr. Fu’s schemes in order to protect her family and everything here.

Her efforts couldn’t be wasted!

After returning, Li Xiaoran said to Luo Cheng,

“Husband, when can our food festival be held?”

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran as he said, “The previous emperor has just pa.s.sed away and we’re still in mourning, so there can’t be any commotion among the people now! I’m afraid your food festival will be postponed to a hundred days later!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she suddenly remembered.

“That’s right. Old Master has already pa.s.sed away! In that case, should we wear white mourning clothes? Are we going back to the capital to attend the funeral?”

“It’s only right to wear mourning clothes, but after I was conferred the t.i.tle of overlord back then, the Old Master said that we didn’t have to attend his funeral! But now that Prince Fu has ascended the throne, it’s a little uncertain! As long as Prince Fu gives the imperial decree, we have to go to the funeral!” Luo Cheng said, “Previously, there was no imperial decree because Prince Fu wasn’t sure if I was dead or not. Now that the news that I’m not dead has definitely spread to the capital, the imperial decree might be delivered soon! ”

“Then what should we do? If we go to the capital now, won’t we be like sheep entering a tiger’s den?” Li Xiaoran said worriedly.

“What? In your eyes, is your man a sheep or a tiger?” Luo Cheng asked with a smile..
