As Li Xiaoran stared at the person, she smiled.
“I can’t compare to you! You know that you’re wanted everywhere, but you actually dare to capture me so blatantly! I’m impressed!”
When Ling Wei heard Li Xiaoran’s words, the smile on his face faded and his eyes lit up.
“You’re really eloquent! You don’t have any self-awareness at all!”
“It takes one to know one. Speaking of eloquence, you’re also quite impressive!” Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and said, “Since you came to see me despite being so busy, you didn’t come to bicker with me, right?! Why don’t we get straight to the point?!”
After Ling Wei gave Li Xiaoran a meaningful look, he was silent for a moment.
“You’re very smart, so you probably know my intentions. That’s why you’re not anxious! Li Yan said that you hold a lot of weight in Luo Cheng’s heart. At first, I didn’t believe her, but when I saw Luo Cheng searching for you like a mad dog, I finally believed her!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Ling Wei’s words, she didn’t show any signs of anger.
She knew that Ling Wei was trying to make her angry and make her lose her rationality.
She wouldn’t let him have his way!
Besides, she knew best if her man was good or bad. She needed no one else’s judgment.
“Mr. Fu, you should stop trying to play tricks! Such methods are useless on
When Ling Wei heard this and saw that Li Xiaoran was still very calm, he realized that his efforts were in vain.
“Alright, then I might as well get straight to the point. Do you think Luo Cheng will agree to my request and a.s.sa.s.sinate the Third Prince for your sake?
Between his brother and wife, who do you think Luo Cheng will choose?”
Li Xiaoran knew that Ling Wei would make such a request, so she sighed.
“Mr. Fu, if you were to choose, what would you choose? At least, you wouldn’t choose your woman! Just like Yu Baifeng. Even though she was in love with you, she was just a p.a.w.n in your hand!”
As soon as she said this, Mr. Furs expression changed drastically and he stared fixedly at Li Xiaoran.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Am I spouting nonsense? Aren’t you Yu Baifeng’s master? Didn’t you abandon Bai Feng? You even tried to kill your own woman in Clear Dew Valley!” “How did you know?” Mr. Fu asked directly.
Li Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and said, “I guessed it! I guessed it!” When Mr. Fu heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“We’re not talking about me now, but about you! Consort, you’d better pray for yourself and hope Mr. Luo chooses you. Otherwise, you’ll die here!”
With that, Ling Wei turned around and left!
Since he couldn’t get any useful information from Li Xiaoran, Ling Wei didn’t plan to waste his time anymore.
After walking out, Ling Wei instructed his subordinates to guard this place and prevent Li Xiaoran from escaping or committing suicide.
After the guards heard Ling Wei’s instructions, they immediately closed the door and locked it.
After Li Xiaoran confirmed that Prince Fu had left, she stood up and stretched her limbs before walking around the room.
There was only one window in the room, but on closer inspection, the outside of the window was nailed shut with wood.
In other words, it was impossible for Li Xiaoran to escape through the window.
It seemed that the only way out of this house was through the door.
After confirming this, Li Xiaoran sat down and began to check her things.
In fact, she was carrying more than just bracelets and rings for self-defense. The earrings in her ears were also a sharp weapon.
In addition, Shu Ruyue also taught Li Xiaoran a way to hide things. She hid some powder and a note against her skin.
These things were pasted with something that looked like leather. Even if someone searched closely, they wouldn’t be able to find what was hidden inside.
Li Xiaoran sensed that there was no one else outside except the guards, so she quickly rolled up her sleeves and tore off the leather near her armpit. Then, she took out the powder, an antidote pill, and a note.
The powder was poison, the kind that could kill people as soon as it was scattered.
However, Li Xiaoran had to use it at the most dangerous moment in order for it to have a good effect.
Luo Cheng had made the antidote pill. There were only a few in total, and she kept one for emergencies.
If Li Xiaoran swallowed one, for at least half a month, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of others poisoning her.
As for the note, it was the brocade bag Wu Qinghe had given her previously.
Ever since Li Xiaoran obtained the brocade bag, she hadn’t used it even once.
Li Xiaoran felt that Wu Qinghe wouldn’t give her a brocade bag for nothing. Since she hadn’t used it yet, it meant that the time wasn’t right.
Therefore, after some thought, she hid the note, antidote pill, and powder in her brocade bag under her armpit.
After taking out the powder and taking the antidote pill, she opened the note.
The words “Jade Face Woman is your benefactor” were written on the note.
Li Xiaoran took a look. Although the message was a little strange, she still put away the note and burned it in the brazier at the side.
After confirming that the note had finished burning, Li Xiaoran placed the remaining powder back under her armpit and then stuck it on with the leather.
She had no other choice. She was trapped in this place now, so it was safest to hide it on her body.
Not long after, a maid and old servant sent hot water over.
However, when the old servant who brought hot water saw Li Xiaoran, she was a little surprised. Then, she poured water and pretended as if nothing had happened.
After doing everything, the old servant carried the bucket out.
“Consort, I’ll bathe and change your clothes for you!” the maid said.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“There’s no need. You don’t have to call yourself a servant. I’m just a woman from the countryside, so I’m not used to others serving me! Leave the clothes here. I’ll wash them myself. You can wait for me outside! After I’m done, you can get someone to move the water out!”
When the maid heard this, she didn’t insist anymore. After preparing everything, she retreated out of the room.
After Li Xiaoran confirmed that there was no one around, she took off her clothes and took a shower.
She felt much more comfortable after taking a shower.
Previously, she had fallen into the cave and had a long ride in a carriage, so she was already exhausted.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she felt much more comfortable.
However, Li Xiaoran actually smelled a familiar scent of tracking incense from these clothes.
It seemed that Prince Fu indeed had ties with the people of Shatai Village!
