107 Going to the Qin Family
Actually, Li Xiaoran understood that ever since she married Luo Cheng, she had been tied to him.
It didn’t matter if she and Luo Cheng would become a real couple in the future. In any case, she and Luo Cheng were bound together for good or ill.
This was why after marrying Luo Cheng, she wanted to do business and earn money.
A person, especially a woman, had to have the ability to live independently if she wanted to improve her life.
Only by being able to support herself without relying on anyone could she be independent.
In the modern era, Li Xiaoran often heard young couples arguing over trivial matters.
Every time they quarreled, the man would be righteous because he could earn money to support his family.
Because she could not earn money, the woman could only swallow her anger.
Suddenly, one day, for some reason, that woman ran out to work and earn money. Moreover, her career was developing better and better, and she earned much more money than his man.
In this way, the status of the couple changed drastically.
From then on, that man no longer dared to point at the woman’s nose and scold her. The woman’s life also became much better.
After personally witnessing the change in the lives of this couple, Li Xiaoran understood a principle very clearly.
The foundation of a woman’s life was to earn money to support herself.
As long as you could earn money to support yourself, no matter what happened, it could be resolved easily. There would also be many more choices.
Therefore, after Li Xiaoran escaped from the Li family, the first thing she thought of was to earn money to support herself and her family, not to settle scores with the Li family.
“What are you thinking about?” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran and asked.
After coming back to her senses, Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just thinking about how to investigate this matter!”
“Why don’t you tell me? I might be able to help you!” Luo Cheng asked.
“There are some things that I haven’t sorted out yet. Let me sort them out first! If there’s really a need, I’ll definitely ask you to help me!” Li Xiaoran said.
Actually, Li Xiaoran did not want Luo Cheng to interfere. She wanted to win this competition with her own abilities.
“Do you want to go to the county office and interrogate those people?” Luo Cheng suggested again.
Li Xiaoran shook her head and said, “No need. Luo Han will definitely get some clues from those people, but it might not be useful! I think I can find another way!”
At this point, Li Xiaoran immediately thought of something.
“Husband, get someone to send a letter to Father and Mother later. Tell them that we have something to deal with here and we’ll go back in three days! I’ll have to trouble Father and Mother to set up a stall in the next few days. After that, husband, accompany me to the Qin family’s home!”
“You want to start with Madam Qin? But the people from the Qin family might not meet us!” Luo Cheng asked.
“Don’t worry, husband. Madam Qin will definitely meet us!” Li Xiaoran said confidently.
“Since you’re so confident, I’ll accompany you!” Seeing this, Luo Cheng nodded and agreed.
After eating and drinking her fill, Li Xiaoran was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, she asked for some ink and paper and locked herself in her room to write and draw for a while.
After half an hour, Li Xiaoran walked out with a smile and went to the Qin family’s home with Luo Cheng.
The Qin family’s house was in Spring Water Alley, southeast of town!
The families who lived in Spring Water Alley were either rich or noble. It could be considered the wealthy district of Golden Sun Town.
Therefore, this time, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng rented a carriage.
After arriving at the Qin family’s home, Li Xiaoran alighted from the carriage and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door of Qin family’s home opened and a guard in his thirties walked out.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
“Please report to Old Master Qin or Madam Qin that I’ve brought news of Miss Qin!” Li Xiaoran said.
When he heard this, the guard’s expression changed. He politely asked Li Xiaoran to wait for a moment, then he left the other guard behind and hurried into the house.
Not long after, the guard rushed out again.
“She invites the two of you in to talk!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and entered the Qin family’s home with Luo Cheng.
It had to be said that the Qin family’s residence was really big. It was a long walk from the entrance to a small hall.
“Please wait a moment. Madam will be here soon!” the leader said politely.
Li Xiaoran nodded and sat down to wait.
As soon as the maid served the tea, urgent footsteps sounded.
Li Xiaoran looked up and saw a rich man and a rich woman walking in one after another.
“I wonder what news the two of you have brought? Have you really seen my unfilial daughter?” Old Master Qin asked as soon as he walked in.
“Master, don’t be anxious. Don’t scare the guests!” The rich lady walked forward and persuaded him.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m sorry. I was too anxious!” Old Master Qin knew that he had been a little rude, so he quickly apologized.
“It’s human nature for Old Master Qin to be worried about Miss Qin’s safety! We did bring some news today! Yesterday, Miss Qin ate knife-cut noodles with four fierce-looking people at my noodle stall. At that time, I felt that it was very strange because the other party was actually unwilling to let me approach Miss Qin. After that group of people left, I picked up a few leaves under the table, and there were some words written on them.” As Li Xiaoran spoke, she took out a few leaves.
When Old Master Qin saw this, he quickly took the leaf.
These words were written on both leaves.
“The Qin family of Golden Sun Town. Save me!”
“It just so happened that I could read, so I discussed with my husband and decided to make a trip here today!” Li Xiaoran said as she observed Old Master Qin and Madam Qin’s reaction.
“What? Didn’t this girl run away from home?” Old Master Qin looked at the leaf in his hand in surprise.
“Run away from home?” Seeing that Old Master Qin’s expression was not an act, Li Xiaoran said in surprise, “That’s impossible! I clearly saw those people restraining that girl and they didn’t even let me talk to her! It doesn’t look like she ran away from home!”
When Old Master Qin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, his expression changed again and again, and then his eyes were filled with confusion.
“But my unfilial daughter left us a letter saying that she was going to run away from home? That letter can’t be faked. It’s clearly my unfilial daughter’s handwriting!”
“Master, perhaps Zhen’er wanted to see if you really cared about her, so she arranged this!” Mrs. Qin said.
