Chapter 852: Arrangement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“In my eyes, my man is a tiger! Prince Fu and the others are sheep!” Li Xiaoran said.

At this point, Li Xiaoran thought of something.

“Husband, I’m afraid it’ll be very dangerous for us to go to the capital this time! We have to arrange everything at home first! I think Ling Heng was actually eyeing the businesses under our name.” Li Xiaoran thought of Ling He’s thoughts and said.

Luo Cheng said, “Of course they have designs on these businesses! You have to know that the businesses under our name are all cash cows. Countless people are secretly eyeing them now. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything with Ziyang in the next two days, including the shops by the official road! You don’t have to worry too much. Leave everything to me! It’s just that I’ll have to trouble you to take the risk with me in the capital!”

Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“I don’t think it’s hard work. On the contrary, I’m very happy to be able to fight alongside you, husband!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he reached out and hugged her waist. Then, he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

What more could a husband ask for from such a good wife?

As it turned out, it was as Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng had expected.

Three days later, the decree delivery team from the capital appeared in Hele Village.

Prince Fu gave Luo Cheng no room to refuse.

After knowing that this trip to the capital was inevitable, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng got busy.

Luo Cheng dealt with the officials from the capital, while Li Xiaoran returned to the house to pack her luggage.

Actually, those things had been packed long ago and the couple was already prepared.

However, the person who sent the decree in the capital was still outside, so they had to put on an act.

Li Xiaoran took out the letter she had written previously and instructed the servants to send them out one by one.

After doing this, Li Xiaoran carried her luggage out and changed her clothes. Then, she got into the carriage with Luo Cheng and left.

Li Shun and Zhao Xiu already knew about this, so they didn’t send them off.

Although they knew that their daughter and son-in-law were in danger, they couldn’t help much. They could only pray for blessings at home.

Luo Ziyang didn’t follow them this time. He stayed behind to manage everything in Sichuan.

Luo Han wanted to follow, but Luo Cheng refused.

The night before, Luo Cheng had called Luo Han to the house. As they drank, the brothers talked about what would happen next.

“Luo Han! I’ve left everything in Sichuan to Ziyang! Ziyang is reliable, so I’m relieved with leaving everything to him! However, there are many people secretly targeting the businesses under my name now, so I need you to stay here even more! When Ziyang is busy, I need you to help me resolve those problems! You know that in times of crisis, only you can handle all of this on my behalf!” Luo Cheng patted Luo Han’s shoulder as he handed such a heavy responsibility to him.

Luo Han’s eyes turned red when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“You’ve always been so tough. You’ve never fallen no matter what! So come back as soon as possible! I won’t help you deal with these things forever! I’m still waiting for you to come back and help me earn a lot of money and get a wife!”

Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Luo Han’s words.

“Don’t worry, after this matter is over, I’ll definitely ask Xiaoran to help you find a good wife!

As Luo Cheng sat in the carriage, he recalled the scene the night before and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng as she asked curiously, “Husband, what did you think of?”

Luo Cheng said, “I’m thinking about how lucky I’ve been in my life! I have Ziyang and the others secretly protecting me. I have a brother like Luo Han and a good wife like Li Xiaoran. These are things that others can’t even dream of!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said with some heartache, “But you’ve also experienced pain that no one else has!” Luo Cheng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.

“If I can exchange pain for happiness, I’m willing to!”

With that, Luo Cheng reached out and grabbed Li Xiaoran’s hand.

“In life, there are gains and losses! After experiencing pain, I realized how precious happiness is! When we go to the capital this time, promise me that we’ll survive! I want to hold hands with you and watch the setting sun in the future. I want to live in seclusion in the mountains with you and work every day!”

Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng’s face as she nodded.

“I promise you, but you also have to promise me! No matter what happens, you have to believe me! I won’t let you down, so you can’t let me down! Since we promised to live together, none of us can go back on our word!” With that, Li Xiaoran stretched out her finger. “Pinkie swear!”

Luo Cheng smiled and reached out to pinky swear with Li Xiaoran!

Because they were attending a funeral, the group traveled quickly.

When they were about to reach the capital, Luo Cheng slowed down and even stayed in an inn at night.

After all, there would be a fierce battle the moment they arrived in the capital, so they had to rest well.

Besides, Li Xiaoran’s body couldn’t withstand such high-intensity traveling, so she had to rest for a few days.

As for the late emperor, so much time had pa.s.sed, so he might have been buried by Prince Fu long ago!

The funeral was just an excuse for Prince Fu to summon them back to teach them a lesson!

In the next few days, no matter how the officials urged him, Luo Cheng ignored them and let his people rest.

However, something unexpected happened midway.

Shu Ruyue’s parents actually came looking for her and insisted on bringing her back to talk about marriage.

How could Wu Qinghe be willing to accept this? However, he had no reason to stop Shu Ruyue’s parents from taking Shu Ruyue away, so he could only follow Shu Ruyue to the Shu family’s house.

Before leaving, Wu Qinghe took out three brocade bags and handed them to Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.

“Brother Luo Cheng, these two blue brocade bags are for you, and the other red brocade bag is for Madam! Madam, you have to keep the brocade bag with you. When you’re in danger, remember to open it.. It can help you! As for Brother Luo Cheng, one of these two brocade bags is to be opened when you’re trapped, and the other is to be opened at critical moments! Remember, don’t open them until the time is right!”
