Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The things Old Madam Jin gave them today were really eye-catching.
In less than two hours, everyone in the village knew that someone had sent Li Shun’s family a lot of valuable things.
For a moment, all sorts of rumors were spreading.
However, these jealous people couldn’t do anything about it. After all, Li Shun’s family had Luo Cheng, who was skilled in martial arts.
Everyone in the village had seen how ruthlessly Luo Cheng dealt with people, so none of them dared to cross him.
Even when Li Xiaoran learned that Luo Cheng had sent people to guard the dowry, she didn’t let her guard down. After all, wealth was very tempting!
However, what Li Xiaoran miscalculated was that there was no movement on the first night.
The next day and the third day were the same. It was as if everyone had forgotten that Li Shun’s house had a lot of valuable things. No one came.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three days left until Li Xiaoran got married.
On this day, Li Xiaoran’s sisters came to give Li Xiaoran marriage gifts.
Although they were called marriage gifts, they were actually just small gifts.
Li Xiaoqing gave Li Xiaoran a pretty stone that she had picked up from the river in the past. At that time, she thought it looked very pretty, so she kept it. Today, she finally gave it away.
After Li Xiaoran took a closer look, she looked at her sister in surprise.
Because there were others around, it wasn’t convenient for Li Xiaoran to say anything. She immediately put away this beautiful stone.
“I like this stone very much. Thank you, Sister!”
Li Xiaoqing smiled happily when she saw that her sister liked this stone very much.
Zhao Sisi took out a purse and a sachet.
“Sister Ran, my sister asked me to bring this sachet to you. This is a sachet made from dried osmanthus flowers picked from the mountain. I hope you like it! I made this pouch myself. My craftsmanship isn’t very good. Please don’t mind!”
As Li Xiaoran held the sachet and pouch in her hand, she looked at them carefully before putting them away happily.
“I think your craftsmanship is very good! I like it very much. Thank you, Sisi!” With that, Li Xiaoran carefully put away the pouch.
As for the sachet, Li Xiaoran placed it in front of her nose and smelled it. As expected, there was the fragrance of osmanthus flowers coming from it.
“This osmanthus flower smells really pleasant. I feel that my mood improves just by smelling it. Sisi, help me thank your sister!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran liked it very much, Zhao Sisi smiled and nodded.
Her third cousin was called Zhao Rou. She was only ten years old now. She took out a handkerchief calmly and handed it to Li Xiaoran.
“I just learned how to make a handkerchief, so I made a handkerchief for you. I just learned how to embroider, so I can only embroider a simple little red flower for you. I hope you like it!”
When she saw her cute cousin, Li Xiaoran’s heart melted.
After touching Zhao Rou’s head, Li Xiaoran said gently, “This little red flower is also very beautiful! Coincidentally, I like little red flowers the most. Thank you, Rou Rou!”
When Zhao Rou heard Li Xiaoran say that she liked it very much, she smiled sweetly.
“Sigh, you’re so beautiful!” Li Xiaoran couldn’t help but pat her little head again.
Zhao Rou quickly returned to her mother’s side shyly and blushed.
“Why are you so shy?! Your cousin is praising you!” Tan Wan couldn’t help but tease her daughter when she saw how shy she was.
Zhao Rou didn’t answer. She only smiled and continued to hide behind Tan wan.
At the sight of this, Li Xiaoran smiled happily.
Originally, today’s gift session was supposed to end here. Unexpectedly, a figure rushed in from outside.
“Hahaha, it seems that I’m not late today! ”
When Li Xiaoran heard the familiar voice and saw the person who came in, she immediately exclaimed.
“Qin Meizhen, why are you here?”
The person who came was none other than Qin Meizhen, who was well-acquainted with Li Xiaoran.
Qin Meizhen carried a box of things to Li Xiaoran’s side and said with a smile, “Li Xiaoran, why didn’t you tell me that you were getting married? Fortunately, I found out about it myself, so I rushed over to send a gift to you! Aren’t I considerate?”
Li Xiaoran smiled at Qin Meizhen.
To be honest, she really didn’t expect Qin Meizhen to appear at her home.
It had been a long time since she had seen Qin Meizhen.
If Qin Meizhen had not appeared today, she would have forgotten about this person.
“Why are you here?” Li Xiaoran asked with a smile, “What about you? Have you decided on your marriage?”
Qin Meizhen smiled and placed the wooden box in Li Xiaoran’s hand as she said, “I’m here to do serious business today! Here, the thing in this box is my gift for you. You can’t refuse! After you put away the things, I’ll return to your question!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Qin Meizhen’s words, she immediately laughed.
Qin Meizhen’s personality had not changed at all.
“Alright, alright, I’ll accept it!” Li Xiaoran said as she put away the wooden box and locked it in the cabinet.
Of course, the other gifts were also placed in the cabinet.
When the others saw that Li Xiaoran had a guest, they took the initiative to leave to do their own things.
Soon, only Li Xiaoran and Qin Meizhen were left in the room.
“You can tell me now, right?! How did you know that I was going to get married?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“Do you still remember the last time you accompanied me?” Qin Meizhen smiled and asked.
“Of course I remember!” Li Xiaoran nodded and replied.
“Then do you remember the last person, who fought with someone in front of us?” Qin Meizhen asked again.
Li Xiaoran recalled it and she nodded.
“You probably don’t know, but Liu Feng actually has some sort of relationship with you!” Qin Meizhen said mysteriously.
“Relationship? How does he have some sort of relationship with me?” Li Xiaoran asked in confusion.
In her impression, she didn’t know this person called Liu Feng!
“You’re not familiar with Liu Feng, but you’re familiar with his father! He’s Liu Zhongyi from the Four Seasons Escort Agency!” Qin Meizhen took the initiative to unravel the mystery.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was immediately enlightened.
So that was how it was!
News of her marriage was accidentally heard by Liu Zhongyi, so they came over to congratulate Li Xiaoran on her marriage.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhongyi was Liu Feng’s father. No wonder Qin Meizhen knew about her marriage.
“So you found out from Uncle Liu!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.
“That’s right! When we met that day, Liu Feng recognized you at a glance.
That’s why Liu Feng took the initiative to contact me and we had a follow-up!” Qin Meizhen became bashful when she mentioned it..
