As soon as Luo Cheng said this, the charming woman looked at Luo Cheng.
At this moment, it was gettingte and Luo Cheng was standing in the pavilion, so he was in the dark and no one could see his face.
However, from what Luo Cheng had just said, the other party’s identity must be extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing. The charming woman felt a little uneasy and nned to leave first. “It’s alreadyte, so I’ll take my leave now!”
With that, the charming woman boarded the carriage and left in a hurry.
No one spoke as they watched the group leave.
Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran walked down from the pavilion and paid for today’s meal.
Since it was getting dark outside, it was time for the group to leave.
Luo Cheng looked at Su Mao.
“No matter what your father is like, you shouldn’t give up on yourself. You’re very smart, so you should use your intelligence on the right path. You can participate in the imperial examination if you want, or not if you don’t want to! In the pce, Mr. Gao can’t do whatever he wants, so you don’t have to worry about what the Gao family will do to you. If you really encounter trouble during the imperial examination, go straight to the capital to look for the Third Prince. Tell him that Luo Cheng asked you to look for him!”
Su Mao was stunned, since he didn’t expect Luo Cheng to say such a thing, let alone that Luo Cheng knew the Third Prince.
Su Mao said, “Thank you for your kindness. I’ll consider it carefully!”
On the other side, Li Xiaoran thought of something and looked at Su Mao and Su Linz.
“I like your Spring Water Chicken very much. Sichuan will be holding a culinarypetition soon. If you want to participate,e to White Foothill City’s Golden Sun Town’s Hele Vige to look for us!”
Su Mao asked in confusion, “Why are we participating in this culinarypetition?”
“You guys can pay attention. What if you guys change your minds and want toeter?!” Li Xiaoran didn’t say things clearly and only gave a rough exnation.
It was up to them to decide if they woulde in the end anyway.
After leaving the Su family, the group walked on the limestone street.
“The moonlight here is really beautiful! I’ve never had a walk like this before!” Li Xiaoran looked at the moon in the sky and then at Luo Cheng, who was still pouting angrily.
Li Xiaoranforted, “Actually, there are still many such things that we can’t interfere with. We can only help those we encounter!”
Luo Cheng also knew this, but he was still very angry.
An official who didn’t work hard for themoners and only knew how to form cliques all day long was simply outrageous.
“My father is old, and some things are starting to spiral out of his control. Actually, if the crown prince was virtuous, the government wouldn’t be like this. Now, the princes are still fighting for the throne, and the ministers are also picking sides to maximize their benefits. Everyone’s attention is on that throne, and the people who truly get things done are ostracized and suppressed. That’s why the imperial court is in a mess!” Luo Cheng saw the situation very clearly and wanted to change it, but he was powerless!
Li Xiaoran said when she heard Luo Cheng’s words, “I think Third Brother is a good person, so I hope he can ascend the throne in the future. That way, our lives will be much better!”
Luo Cheng said, “Anyone can be the emperor, as long as he’s dedicated to working for the people! I only n to live in Sichuan in the future, so anyone can be the emperor!”
Li Xiaoran muttered, “I thought that you had a good rtionship with Third Brother, and that’s why you hoped that he would get the position!”
“My rtionship with my third brother is good, but I don’t want to interfere with his decisions. The path to the throne won’t be smooth. People who take that position will sacrifice a lot of things. That path is too bitter, so to be honest, I don’t want my third brother to take this path,” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran understood what Luo Cheng meant. He didn’t want to see his third brother be alone!
Li Xiaoran said as she recalled what Third Sister-in w looked like, “Speaking of which, I haven’t talked to Third Sister-inw properly since we went to the pce banquetst time!”
But no matter how she thought about it, Li Xiaoran had no impression of it at all.
Luo Cheng thought of something and reminded her, “Don’t mention Third
Sister-inw in the future. She’s not easy to get along with. Besides, Third
Brother and Third Sister-inw don’t have a good rtionship!”
Li Xiaoran asked in confusion, “Huh? Aren’t Third Brother and Third
Sister-in w in love?”
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “Someone like Third Brother, who only knows how to investigate cases all day long, doesn’t pay attention to rtionships at all. Third Brother’s marriage was dyed until he was too old to dy any longer. Later on, the empress couldn’t stand it anymore and looked for the emperor. Then, he arranged the marriage for Third Brother!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood.
It turned out that the Third Prince and the Third Prince’s consort were in an arranged marriage!
“Sigh, my pitiful Third Brother!”
Luo Cheng sneered and said, “Pitiful? As a member of the royal family, there are many pitiful things! However, they have to pay a price for enjoying the wealth and glory brought about by their royal status. This is why I would rather be removed from the family than stay!”
“How many of my brothers got married willingly?”
Li Xiaoran thought of something and said in shock, “Then won’t you encounter a lot of trouble now that you’ve recovered your identity as a prince?”
Luo Cheng said with a sneer, “Haven’t I already experienced it? Didn’t the empress dowager try to threaten me to take in a concubine? Unfortunately, I, Luo Cheng, have never been a pushover, so I naturally won’t let them have their way. At least, no one will force me to get a concubine in the future. After all, everyone only has one life, so they probably don’t want to lose it in my hands!”
After the Li family’s girl was seriously injured by Luo Cheng, she was saved by the imperial doctor.
Her life wasn’t in danger, but she had to recuperate.
After this incident, that girl was no longer willing to marry Luo Cheng.
At the mention of this, that girl trembled in fear and refused desperately. Li Xiaoran said, “Isn’t it too cruel for us to do this?”
Luo Cheng exined, “You’re just feeling guilty out of kindness. Do you know that the girl from the Li family is very vicious and killed many maidservants? If
I didn’t find out about this, I wouldn’t have attacked her!”
Li Xiaoran never expected that the Li family’s girl was such a person.
“Then you should teach her a lesson!”
