Chapter 428: Worth It To Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Yan, who was in the room at the side, couldn’t sit still.
Recently, because the Spring Meeting had been postponed, Young Master Qi stopped paying attention to them.
Previously, they had been giving out good food, but later on, they had to pay for their own expenses.
She didn’t use the silver she had obtained. Instead, she went straight to her husband, Pei Xuanxin.
Pei Xuanxin was used to living a hard life, so after hearing Li Yan’s words, he took out some silver and asked her to spend it sparingly.
Li Yan was used to being extravagant, so now that she had to scrimp and save, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She didn’t dare to reveal her discomfort, so she could only endure it.
She had no other choice. She had yet to get the rest of the money from Young Master Qi, so she could only endure it for now.
Initially, she thought that after the news was confirmed, Young Master Qi would come back to look for her husband.
But until now, Qi Fei and the others had yet to appear.
This time, Li Yan was a little anxious.
Could Young Master Qi have gone back on his word?
At this moment, Young Master Qi sent another question set. In addition to the question set, he also sent some food over.
Seeing these things, Li Yan finally felt relieved.
When Ai Mingze came to look for Qi Fei, he heard a servant report that the questions and things had been sent over according to Qi Fei’s instructions.
Ai Mingze asked curiously, “Didn’t you say before that you don’t have to send anything to the people over there? Why are you sending it over now?”
Qi Fei laughed when he heard Ai Mingze’s words.
“Do you know why it was postponed?”
Ai Mingze shook his head. He was just a businessman and didn’t have any influence in the capital, so how could he know about this?
“I’ve asked someone to ask around. The reason the Spring Meeting was postponed was that an examiner was caught for misconduct. It’s also because of this that the exam questions were changed again! We can only rely on them to help us now!” Qi Fei said with a smile.
When Ai Mingze heard that, he stopped asking.
He and Qi Fei were on the same side anyway. From now on, he could only follow Qi Fei, so he didn’t ask if Qi Fei didn’t say anything.
“Are you sure there’s no problem this time?” Ai Mingze asked after a moment.
“Don’t worry! It’ll be fine!” Qi Fei said.
After that, the two of them talked about other things.
Luo Cheng also decided on the time to set off.
When they heard that their daughter and son-in-law were going out again, although Li Shun and Zhao Xiu were worried, they didn’t stop them.
Young people should travel more often. Otherwise, when they were old, they wouldn’t be able to travel that far even if they wanted to.
However, Zhao Xiu called Li Xiaoran home and reminded her to stay safe.
“Father, Mother, what are you guys thinking?! Can’t you guys be more optimistic?” When Li Xiaoran felt her parents’ concern, she teased with a smile.
“That’s not what we meant. It’s just that what happened last time really frightened us!” Zhao Xiu said with lingering fear.
“Father, Mother, no matter what you hear or see this time, don’t believe it. Also, try not to go out. Stay in the village. As long as you don’t leave the village, nothing serious will happen!” At this point, Li Xiaoran paused for a moment before saying, “As for us, even if we encounter any problems, we can resolve them ourselves, so don’t worry!”
Although she said that, she was still very worried.
“Alright, we’ll be fine at home. Don’t worry! Isn’t Aunt Qiu around? With her around, we’re not afraid,” Zhao Xiu said.
Li Xiaoran nodded, but didn’t say anything else.
To be honest, with Granny Qiu around, she and Luo Cheng were relieved.
Therefore, this time, Luo Ziyang was going to the capital with Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.
In addition to Luo Ziyang, there were also Wu Qinghe and Zi Zheng.
However, as they waited for Wu Qinghe to return, some problems arose at the manor.
After Luo Cheng thought about it for a moment, he finally let Luo Ziyang stay.
After all, with Luo Ziyang at home, he could feel more at ease.
Luo Ziyang could take care of the manor and the wine shop in town at the same time.
Although Luo Ziyang wanted to follow his brother and sister-in-law to the capital, he also understood that Hele Village was very important to his brother and sister-in-law.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Luo Ziyang gave up on going to the capital and chose to stay here.
When Li Xiaoqing and Changsheng heard that Luo Ziyang would stay, they immediately cheered happily.
“Do you see that? Ziyang is much more popular than the two of us!” As Li Xiaoran watched from the side, she said jealously.
Luo Cheng glanced at Li Xiaoran and apologized, “It’s all my fault!”
Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng in confusion while wondering why he was apologizing.
“I’m not charming enough to attract all your attention and you’re still have the mood to be jealous of other people. As your husband, I’ve failed to do my job!” As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoran chuckled.
Why did she feel that she wasn’t the one who was jealous, but the man in front of her?
At the same time, a carriage was speeding towards Hele Village.
The people sitting in the carriage were none other than Wu Qinghe and the others, who had gone out to save Shu Ruyue and Li Xia.
Zi Cheng and Zi Zheng took turns driving the carriage forward.
In the carriage, Shu Ruyue’s face was pale and she looked like she was on her last breath.
Wu Qinghe, who was hugging Shu Ruyue, felt a sense of heartache.
It was because of him that Shu Ruyue became like this.
When they rushed over to save Shu Ruyue and Li Xia yesterday, Shu Ruyue helped him block the sword and got poisoned as a result. That was why her life was on the line.
“Young Master Wu, didn’t you already divine it previously? Miss Ruyue is lucky this time, so she’ll be fine!” When Li Xia saw Wu Qinghe’s distraught expression, she counseled him.
“No, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault. In the past, I only harmed myself, but now, I even harmed Miss Su. I should have stayed by Brother Luo Cheng’s side. This way, I wouldn’t have harmed others!” Wu Qinghe said self-reproachfully.
Wu Xia had also heard about Wu Qinghe’s unlucky physique, but she didn’t agree with him.
“Young Master Wu, you were busy dealing with the enemy at that time, so you didn’t see, but from the side, I saw it very clearly. It wasn’t you who brought bad luck to Miss Ruyue. Miss Ruyue herself willingly blocked the sword for you. In Miss Ruyue’s eyes, you’re a friend worthy of her protection! So you shouldn’t blame yourself. Instead, you should pull yourself together. Miss Ruyue is still counting on you to save her life..”
