Chapter 454 Disoriented
Translations Editor:
Life was often filled with incidents people were helpless about.
Not everything would go according to plans, nor could they do whatever they wanted!
Although things didn’t always go as planned, she was lucky to have someone to work hard with.
When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng exchanged looks and saw the love in each other’s eyes, they smiled.
On the other side of the capital, Li Yan and Pei Xuanxin were getting along very awkwardly.
When Pei Xuanxin went out to play recently, he accidentally walked into an alley. Then, he fell into a trance.
For some reason, Pei Xuanxin felt that the alley was very familiar, as if he had lived in this alley for a long time before.
This feeling didn’t come suddenly. He could even tell where there was a well in that alley, where children were gathered to play, and where there was a tall and big pagoda tree!
Pei Xuanxin wondered if he was possessed.
He had never been here before, so why was he so familiar with this place?
On Li Yan’s side, she had been going out early and returning late these few days. She was asking about the Seventh Prince and his consort every day.
Unfortunately, she didn’t hear any new news.
This time, Li Yan’s heart raced.
She really wanted to know where Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng lived now. She even wanted to rush to the Seventh Prince’s residence and chase Li Xiaoran out of the house.
However, all of this was just her wish.
Because she had yet to find out where the Seventh Prince’s residence was.
However, Qi Fei and Ai Mingze quickly noticed Li Yan’s actions.
“Brother Qi, do you think Li Yan is asking about the Seventh Prince in order to expose us?” Ai Mingze frowned and said.
After Qi Fei thought about it for a moment, he shook his head.
“I think that’s impossible! I’ve already investigated carefully. The Seventh Prince is actually Luo Cheng, Li Yan’s cousin. You have to know that the person Li Yan originally wanted to marry was the current Seventh Prince. Unfortunately, she was unwilling to marry him. Later on, she schemed against her cousin, Li Xiaoran, and let Li Xiaoran marry Luo Cheng while she married Pei Xuanxin!”
At this point, Qi Fei gloated. “How regretful did she feel after she heard that
Luo Cheng is the Seventh Prince?!”
“How do you know so much?” Ai Mingze didn’t expect this and asked curiously.
“When Li Yan came to look for us previously, I realized that something was fishy about her! Later on, I secretly asked someone to investigate the identities of the Seventh Prince and his consort from Sichuan. After this investigation, I found out about Li Yan’s relationship with the Seventh Prince and his consort, Li Xiaoran!” Qi Fei said aloofly.
Ai Mingze thought of something and said, “That’s not right! If the Seventh Prince really wanted to marry Li Yan previously, now that Li Yan has changed her mind, the Seventh Prince might change his mind and choose Li Yan again.”
“You only know how to study! You don’t even know the various twists and turns. The Seventh Prince and the Seventh Prince’s consort are very close now, and he told the emperor that they would be a couple for the rest of their lives! How can such a person fancy Li Yan? You have to know that the Seventh Prince has a lot of noble ladies to choose from now!” Qi Fei said firmly, “However, Li Yan is such a restless person. She’s already married to Pei Xuanxin, but she’s still thinking about the Seventh Prince. She’s too greedy. Sooner or later, she’ll suffer a huge setback!”
Ai Mingze didn’t care what would happen to Li Yan in the future. He only hoped that he would pass the examination. Then, he could go back and get his share of the family assets.
Yan Xiaoqiao was mute now!
Yan Xiaoqiao had not made a sound ever since she was thrown out of the Seventh Prince’s residence.
There were many doctors in the capital, but none of them could treat Yan Xiaoqiao.
Later on, Prime Minister Yan found out about this, so he invited the imperial physician from the royal family to treat Yan Xiaoqiao.
Several imperial physicians from the royal family came, but they were completely helpless against Yan Xiaoqiao’s muteness.
Prime Minister Yan could only search for famous doctors to treat his beloved granddaughter.
It wasn’t that Prime Minister Yan had not thought of holding the Seventh Prince’s consort accountable, but Yan Xiaoqiao had said something in front of everyone when she was thrown out.
It was impossible for him to blame it on the Seventh Prince’s consort now!
Yan Xiaoqiao hated Li Xiaoran to death.
A country girl she looked down on actually married the Seventh Prince she liked. She was really too big for her britches.
What made Yan Xiaoqiao even angrier was that the people around the Seventh Prince actually listened to that lowly person and threw her out.
Yan Xiaoqiao was utterly embarrassed.
It was also because of her that she couldn’t speak now. Otherwise, she would definitely rush into the Seventh Prince’s residence to cause trouble again.
This time, she would definitely take out her favorite whip and whip that pariah until she rolled on the ground, just like the pariahs she had whipped in the past.
She waited patiently at home for those doctors to treat her, but all of them were quacks.
This time, Yan Xiaoqiao couldn’t suppress her frustration anymore and went out.
This time, Yan Xiaoqiao didn’t go to the Seventh Prince’s residence. Instead, she went to another place.
Li Xiaoran was planting a pot of flowers when she received a message from Zi Cheng.
“You said that Yan Xiaoqiao went to a remote house and stayed there until now?”
“That’s right, Madam. In the past, Yan Xiaoqiao would go to this place too, but she rarely went there that often. At first, we didn’t pay much attention to it and thought that it was just a house that Yan Xiaoqiao had bought. But later, some buddies sneaked in and realized that it was very unusual inside.” At this point, Zi Cheng revealed a strange expression.
“What’s so unusual about it? Could it be that Yan Xiaoqiao is hiding a man inside?” Li Xiaoran said aloofly.
“Madam, you’re right! It’s just that the handsome men hidden inside all look like the sons of the current emperor. They thought they were seeing things, but when they took a closer look, they discovered another loophole!” Zi Cheng told her, “Madam, isn’t Yan Xiaoqiao disgusting?! She’s already a noblewoman in the capital, but she actually did such a thing!”
When Li Xiaoran heard the truth behind this matter, her expression turned solemn.
“Zi Cheng, go tell Luo Cheng about this!”
