Shu Ruyue and Wu Qinghe were very excited to hear that they could go out again.
Although life in Hele Village was very peaceful, it wasn’t very vibrant.
When they heard that they were going out with Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran, the two of them were very excited.
“That’s great. I can go out and fight to uphold justice again!” Shu Ruyue took out her sword and started waving it.
Wu Qinghe said excitedly, “I can go out and study fengshui now! For some reason, I keep feeling that Hele Village is too peaceful, so much so that I can’t feel anything! It feels like a safe haven! I have to go out for a walk in order to get some inspiration!”
It didn’t take long for them to pack their bags.
They weren’t traveling far this time and they were going to the mountains, so they didn’t have to bring a lot of things.
Of course, some things had to be brought, like seasoning, pots, and buckets.
In the mountains, there was no lack of wild animals, so they didn’t have to bring meat. They could just bring some rice and noodles.
In addition to these people, the people who had joined Luo Cheng previously also began to pack their things.
After the group gathered, Li Xiaoran also learned the names of the other three.
The man with the round face was called Jiao Hang, the arrogant man was called Li Liming, and the white-robed man who realized that she was a woman was called Yu Peng.
When Yu Peng came out with his luggage, he immediately saw Li Xiaoran standing beside Luo Cheng.
Anger flashed across Yu Peng’s eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Shu Ruyue running over.
“Your Highness, look, I brought something good!”
With that, Shu Ruyue handed something to Li Xiaoran.
After Li Xiaoran saw it, she asked in surprise, “This is such a good thing. Where did you get it? Also, why did you suddenly call me Your Highness? Didn’t you call me Xiaoran in the past?”
Shu Ruyue put away the secret weapon she had brought and hugged Li Xiaoran.
“I want to experience how it feels to call you consort! This way, I can show off that I have a friend who’s a consort in the future!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she was amused. “Since when did you start to care about things like this?!” At this moment, Luo Cheng turned to look at Li Xiaoran.
“Xiaoran, come here!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng call her, she patted Shu Ruyue’s hand.
“I’ll go over and take a look first! Hurry up and load the things into the carriage!”
Shu Ruyue nodded, then let go of Li Xiaoran and went to do her own thing.
Li Xiaoran walked towards Luo Cheng and smiled.
“Come, let me introduce you to my wife, Li Xiaoran!” Luo Cheng held Li Xiaoran’s hand as he introduced her to the other four people. “In the future, meeting the consort will be equivalent to meeting me!”
When the four of them heard Luo Cheng’s words, they immediately cupped their hands and bowed.
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “There’s no need to be so polite. You’re all capable people. Now that you’re here with Mr. Luo, feel free to use whatever skills you have! Mr. Luo will use your abilities well!”
After saying this, Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on Yu Peng. “Now, do you believe that I’m not here for Mr. Luo?” Yu Peng smiled when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“T was overthinking things previonsly!”
Luo Cheng also learned from Li Xiaoran that Yu Peng had warned Li Xiaoran not to have designs on him. When he heard Li Xiaoran mention it, he immediately laughed.
“You’ve done very well. You have to keep up the good work in the future! I don’t like those women with ulterior motives approaching me. It’s fine as long as I have Xiaoran in my life! Therefore, Yu Peng, you have to work harder in the future to prevent those women from approaching me!”
When Yu Peng heard Luo Chengs words, he looked up at him in surprise.
From this glance, Yu Peng could tell that Li Xiaoran was special to Luo Cheng.
“I’ll do as you say, Mr. Luo!” Yu Peng accepted the order.
When Li Xiaoran heard their conversation, she immediately laughed. “I’m afraid this would be a waste of his talent!”
Luo Cheng teased, “Don’t worry, Xiaoran. As long as it’s a talent, I won’t let their talent go to waste!”
The others were also gratified to see that Mr. Luo and the consort had a good relationship.
After all, it was a good thing that their relationship was stable.
Since ancient times, there had been many examples of internal conflicts implicating the commoners.
A ruler with a harmonious relationship was even more worthy of their devotion.
After everything was packed, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng set off again.
Because they were going to a mountain village near White Foothill City this time, the trip would take three days at most, so no one at home was worried.
On the day Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and the others left, Zhao Xiu and Li Shun were in a jewelry shop in White Foothill City.
As for Li Yan, she brought Pei Xuanxin to the village to show off to the villagers.
Originally, Li Yan wanted to hold a few banquets in Hele Village, but unfortunately, Pei Xuanxin insisted on holding them in his village.
Pei Xuanxin said that there was no reason for him to go to his in-law’s house instead of hosting a banquet in his own hometown.
Li Yan had no choice but to ask someone to send an invitation and invite the people from Hele Village.
A few people from Hele Village went because of Pei Xuanxin.
On the Li family’s side, Li Qiang and Li Wei also got a leave of absence and brought their wives and children to Pei Xuanxin’s banquet.
It had only been a while since they last met, but Li Yan felt that her family seemed to have changed.
Compared to before, the previously malnourished family was ruddy and seemed to have gained some weight.
Li Qin, who was working at Li Yan’s house, was also very puzzled when she saw that her parents had changed so drastically.
After she asked around, she found out about the changes at home.
“Father, Mother, are things really going well at home now?”
Li Qiang looked at his youngest daughter and nodded. “That’s right! Now that I’ve gone out to do work, I get a tael of silver a month. Your mother and your aunt are managing everything at home, like farming and feeding the chickens! Daughter, you’ve been staying at your sister’s place for a while, but you should come home with me after the banquet today!”
During this period of time under Granny Huang’s supervision, w.a.n.g Ying had changed and seemed much calmer.
“That’s right! Xiao Qin, come back with us today! Our family is living a good life now. We’re able to eat our fill and wear warm clothes. Come back! Let’s work hard for a few years and save some money.. After you grow up, we can also provide your dowry! When the time comes, we’ll find you a good family to marry into! “
