Chapter 586: Strange Groan
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately smiled.
“Why? Men can follow Mr. Luo, but women can’t?”
The man in white looked at Li Xiaoran and sized her up.
“You’re quite eccentric! Others want to be Mr. Luo’s woman, but you took the unconventional path. Since you’ve already entered this thatched room, you must be quite capable. However, I have a piece of advice for you. Don’t have any ill intentions. Mr. Luo is different from other princes. If you want to take a shortcut or play tricks, you’re making a mistake!”
Li Xiaoran immediately smiled when she heard the other party’s words. “Don’t worry, I’m here to work for Mr. Luo. I don’t want anything else!”
The man in white didn’t believe Li Xiaoran’s words, but he didn’t say anything else.
Li Xiaoran began to observe the others.
Others were paying attention to the two who were fighting, but Li Xiaoran watched the other people’s reactions with interest.
After about half an hour, the two people who were fighting were tired and let go of each other.
They fought fiercely, but the two of them weren’t seriously injured.
After the drama stopped, someone walked in and left some ointment for external injuries.
The man who came in said, “On account that this is your first time committing a crime, I won’t punish you guys. The next time someone fights in here, please leave directly!”
The proud man and the round-faced man glared at each other, then snorted and turned their heads away.
Li Xiaoran looked at the two of them with interest and was immediately amused when she heard their inner thoughts.
The two of them were cursing each other inwardly.
At this moment, Luo Cheng walked in.
Li Xiaoran continued to sit there while drinking tea, but a strong emotion erupted and immediately attracted Li Xiaoran’s attention.
Following this emotion, Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on a man in black.
What Li Xiaoran didn’t understand was why the other party looked at her man with hatred.
At this moment, the man suddenly took a few steps forward and came to Luo
Cheng.
Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the man.
“It’s you! Why are you here?”
The man in black said, “Mr. Luo, are you surprised to see me?!”
Luo Cheng shook his head and lamented, “I have a clear conscience! I really didn’t expect you to still be holding a grudge!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, confusion flashed across her eyes.
What was this person’s relations.h.i.+p with her husband?
Why did her husband let him get close despite knowing that the other party had ill intentions towards him?
The man in black said as he took out a dagger, “Are you really not afraid?”
Seeing this, Luo Cheng didn’t retreat at all. He looked straight at the other party.
“Ada, you should understand! Back then, your brother had already gone astray. It was useless no matter how I dissuaded him. In the end, I could only endure the pain and deal with him personally. I have a clear conscience. Even if history repeats itself, as long as your brother made the same choice, I still would have dealt with it the same way. Let me say again, one has to have moral principles!”
It was unknown if Luo Cheng’s earnest words had convinced the man in black, but he put the dagger back at his waist.
“Since you say my brother was wrong, I’ll follow you this time! I want to see how far you’ll go in the end!”
Luo Cheng nodded when he heard the man in black.
“Sure! You can follow me and watch me at all times!”
With that, Luo Cheng shouted at Zi Cheng, “Zi Cheng, bring him home to rest!” Zi Cheng hesitated, but in the end, he did as Luo Cheng instructed. After settling the matter, Luo Cheng looked at the dozen or so people inside.
“There’s not much time left today. Why don’t you all rest in the farmstead? I’ll test you guys tomorrow!”
The people who came naturally agreed. After all, they had finally been selected, so they wouldn’t give up halfway.
After everyone left, Li Xiaoran walked out.
After removing her makeup, Li Xiaoran changed into a woman’s outfit and left with Luo Cheng.
The group of people who had been settled down also went to rest.
The white-robed man who had noticed Li Xiaoran just now could no longer find her.
Frowning, the man in white’s expression turned ugly.
“Could this woman really be after Mr. Luo?”
Li Xiaoran, who was being suspected, had already returned home.
The weather was really too hot.
After she made a trip to the farmstead, she came back covered in sweat.
After Li Xiaoran washed up, she felt much better.
At this moment, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu came looking for them.
Zhao Xiu asked as soon as she arrived, “Daughter, did you go to the farmstead with our son-in-law today?”
Li Xiaoran asked in confusion, “Yes? What’s wrong?”
Zhao Xiu asked again, “Have you heard any rumors outside?”
Li Xiaoran asked, “What rumors? What has this got to do with me going to the farmstead?”
Zhao Xiu told her what she had heard, “Sigh, someone said that my son-in-law arranged some shameful things in the farmstead and some strange sounds were coming from that farmstead. Many people in the village say that that place was dirty. In the past, it was a ma.s.s grave and many people were buried inside!”
Li Xiaoran felt that it was too out of the blue, so she asked in confusion, “When did this spread? Why didn’t we know that there were strange sounds in the farmstead?”
Zhao Xiu replied, “It spread these few days. As soon as your father and I heard about this, we came to look for you!”
At this moment, Luo Cheng walked out and heard Zhao Xiu’s words.
Luo Cheng explained, “Father, Mother, don’t worry! There’s nothing unclean about the farmstead. I hired a doctor to treat those who retreated from the battlefield. As you know, most of them have superficial wounds and need different treatment methods. They often cry out in pain, so others might have heard the strange cries!”
Zhao Xiu and Li Shun naturally knew that Luo Cheng and the others were using disabled soldiers who had retired from the battlefield, so when they heard Luo Cheng say that he was treating them, the couple believed him..
