Chapter 551 - 551: The Empress Dowager Is Here



To be honest, Li Xiaoran also wanted to go back early, but there were many things that had not been settled here, so there was no need to rush back so soon.

After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she said, “Husband, there’s no need to be in such a hurry. We’re going home soon, so two days won’t make a difference! Let’s leave after we settle everything in the capital!”

Luo Cheng didn’t want to wait.

What happened last night made Luo Cheng feel that something was wrong.

Why did that palace maid happen to hang on the tree after the couple appeared?

One had to know that before the palace banquet, many people went in and out, but no one saw her.

The pavilion they were in last night was also a place they had to pass through in order to go to the guest room.

So many people didn’t see it, but the couple did.

It was also Li Xiaoran’s unexpected shout that attracted the imperial guards.

According to his way of doing things, he definitely would have left with Li Xiaoran before secretly sending someone to investigate.

If that was the case, he might have already fallen into trouble.

Thinking that he would be schemed against if he stayed here, Luo Cheng wanted to leave earlier.

However, before he could continue persuading Li Xiaoran to leave, Zi Cheng suddenly appeared outside the door and knocked.

“Young Master, someone from the royal family is here!”

When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran heard this, they looked at each other and asked in unison, “Who’s here?”

When Zi Cheng heard this, he said, “You’ll know when you see!”

Therefore, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran went to the main hall together.

When Luo Cheng saw the familiar face in front of him, he immediately exclaimed, “Grandma? Why are you here?”

Ever since the empress dowager entered the palace, she rarely left the palace.

This was the third time the empress dowager had left the palace.

The empress dowager asked with a smile, “What? Are you very surprised to see

“How can that be? Why did you leave the palace?” Li Xiaoran quickly walked forward and helped the empress dowager to a chair to sit down.

After the empress dowager sat down, she looked at Li Xiaoran.

“Aren’t you the best at cooking delicious food? I’m thirsty, so go make me some sour and sweet juice!”

Li Xiaoran could tell that the empress dowager probably had something to say to Luo Cheng, so she nodded with a smile. “Alright! You two can talk first. I’ll go make you sweet and sour juice to drink now!”

After retreating from the main hall, Li Xiaoran went to the kitchen.

Fortunately, the ingredients bought by the kitchen had just been sent over today. When Li Xiaoran saw the fresh oranges and lemons, she immediately made orange lemon honey water.

After the juice was ready, Li Xiaoran didn’t send it over immediately. Instead, she prepared the things and sat outside the main hall.

After half an hour, Zi Cheng came out and invited Li Xiaoran in. Then, Li Xiaoran brought the golden orange lemon water in.

After pouring a glass for the empress dowager, Li Xiaoran poured another for Luo Cheng and for herself.

It was unknown what the empress dowager had said to Luo Cheng previously, but their expressions didn’t change.

After drinking a cup of golden orange lemon honey water, the empress dowager said,

“Luo Cheng, I hope you can consider what I said previously!”

Luo Cheng continued to drink Li Xiaoran’s golden orange lemon honey water silently.

Seeing that Luo Cheng was indifferent, the empress dowager looked at Li Xiaoran and wanted to say something.

Before the empress dowager could speak, Luo Cheng’s expression turned cold.

“Grandma, I advise you not to speak!”

When the empress dowager heard Luo Cheng’s words, she knew that Luo Cheng had seen through her plan, so she could only sigh.

“Alright, think about it yourself!”

With that, the empress dowager let the palace maid help her leave.

Li Xiaoran sent the empress dowager out the door.

As Luo Cheng looked at the empress dowager’s departing figure, he sneered.

When Li Xiaoran returned, she happened to see Luo Cheng’s sneer and couldn’t help but ask,

“Husband, what happened?”

“In the future, don’t cook delicious food for people who aren’t worth it! Li Xiaoran, I know you want me to have family and feel the warmth of a family, but it turns out that you’re the only one who’s my family. No one else is!”

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran’s heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

Everything had been fine before this. Why had things changed?

Li Xiaoran asked anxiously, “What exactly happened? Tell me! Husband, we’re husband and wife. What can’t you say to me?”

At this moment, Li Xiaoran couldn’t sense what Luo Cheng was thinking.

Luo Cheng didn’t want to say anything at this moment, but he was unwilling to lie to Li Xiaoran, so he said, “Xiaoran, let me think about it before telling you what’s going on!”

Li Xiaoran understood Luo Cheng’s feelings, so she nodded.

“Alright, think about it first. Tell me when you’ve thought it through!”

After that, Luo Cheng went to a waterside pavilion in the Seventh Prince’s residence to rest, while Li Xiaoran went to look for Shu Ruyue.

When Shu Ruyue saw Li Xiaoran, she said, “You’re finally here! If you hadn’t appeared, I would have gone to look for you!”

When Li Xiaoran saw Shu Ruyue’s expression, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Yes! There are a few things I need to tell you!” Shu Ruyue nodded solemnly and pulled Li Xiaoran into her room.

Shu Ruyue looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, she said, “The first thing is what you said about relying on these things to earn money. Our village chief wants thank you for showing them a way to earn money. The people in the village plan to sell some peanuts, potatoes, corn, and other crops. In addition, the people in the village will send you the seeds you need in three days. I wonder where these seeds should be sent to?”

After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she said, “It’s better not to cooperate with the restaurant! Yesterday, I brought a copy of these things to the empress dowager. The empress dowager and the emperor like them very much. When I gave this birthday gift at that time, many princes and descendants saw it, so someone will probably ask about these things soon. Why don’t you ask your clansmen to sell some at a high price? In the future, when you plant a lot, I suggest that you open your own shop to sell them!”

Shu Ruyue nodded and said with a smile, “That’s what my father said to the patriarch. Although it’s easier to get money and benefits by selling this thing in a restaurant, a large portion of the profits will be taken by the restaurant, so it’s not worth it. We can’t let others take advantage of what the Shu family planted ourselves!”

Li Xiaoran reminded, “Yes, that’s right! Being controlled by others is too troublesome.. What if they don’t need you guys anymore one day? What will happen then?”
