Zi Yang hesitated when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.

“You’ll only suffer if you go against the Song family! It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there’s no need!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the little boy’s words, she realized something.

“What’s your name?”

The little boy replied, “My name is Ye Shengnan!”

When Li Xiaoran heard the little boy’s answer, she smiled.

“Did you choose this name yourself?”

Ye Shengnan asked in surprise, “How did you know?”

“The little boy you were holding hands with in the river today is your brother, right? You two look very similar. If your parents doted on you, they wouldn’t have let you be someone else’s child bride. Therefore, your parents definitely wouldn’t have named you Shengnan!” Li Xiaoran said, “If I’m not mistaken, your parents named you Shengnan! You were indignant and felt that you were more capable than a man, so you changed your name!”

Ye Shengnan was impressed by Li Xiaoran.

If not for the fact that she had really never seen Li Xiaoran before, Ye

Shengnan would have thought that this group of people was here for her and had found out everything about her.

However, Ye Shengnan knew very well that she hadn’t told anyone about her change of name. Only she herself knew.

Therefore, it was impossible for Li Xiaoran to find out about this.

Ye Shengnan said worriedly, “Are you really going to interfere with the coal mine? This matter involves too many things. Even if you know people in the imperial court, you might not be able to interfere in this matter. You might even lose your lives!”

Li Xiaoran asked with a smile, “Then what kind of person do you think can interfere in this matter?”

Ye Shengnan voiced her opinion, “At least it has to be the mayor of White Foothill City or Mr. Luo! I heard that a Mr. Luo came to Sichuan. If they interfere, this matter will definitely be easy to handle!” Li Xiaoran was impressed by the girl in front of her.

She was probably only a year younger than her!

However, her sharp judgment was something many girls couldn’t compare to.

Li Xiaoran teased, “How do you know so much?”

Ye Shengnan said, ‘What’s so impressive with that? I like to listen to other people’s stories. Not long ago, a storyteller came to live with us for a period of time. I listened to him every day. After a while, I naturally started to understand some things!”

Luo Cheng really wanted to know about the coal mine. Seeing that Li Xiaoran didn’t get the point after asking for a long time, he was a little anxious.

Li Xiaoran sensed her man’s anxiety, so she changed her tone and said, “Since you think Mr. Luo can interfere, tell him everything you know now!” Ye Shengnan was dumbfounded.

Ye Shengnan was very smart, so when she heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately understood.

“You’re Mr. Luo’s person?”

Li Xiaoran introduced with a smile, “That’s right. I’m Mr. Luo’s wife. This is the Mr. Luo you mentioned!”

Ye Shengnan was shocked and quickly got up to kowtow to Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran.

“Greetings, Mr. Luo and Consort!”

Seeing that Ye Shengnan was so polite, Li Xiaoran smiled and helped her up. “Get up! There’s no need to be so polite! Are you willing to tell me now?”

Ye Shengnan was still a little hesitant because she didn’t know if what Li Xiaoran said was true. What if they were pretending to be Mr. Luo and the consort?

When Li Xiaoran saw the expression on Ye Shengnan’s face, she knew what she was thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng also realized something and simply asked Zi Cheng to take out his imperial decree.

“I believe you still don’t believe our identities. You might not be able to understand anything else, so let me show you my imperial decree!”

Zi Cheng took out the imperial edict and unfolded it in front of Ye Shengnan.

Although Ye Shengnan couldn’t read, after seeing the imperial seal at the end of the imperial decree, she immediately confirmed Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s identities.

Ye Shengnan said excitedly, “It’s indeed the emperor’s imperial edict. There’s a piece missing from this jade seal. It’s a real imperial edict!”

Luo Cheng was stunned when he heard this.

“How did you know that there’s a piece missing from this jade seal?” When Ye Shengnan heard Luo Cheng’s question, she didn’t hide it.

“I heard from Mr. Shu! Seeing that I was smart, that gentleman told me a lot about the royal family. That gentleman also drew the seal for me! I can’t read, but I’m familiar with the jade seal!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he immediately thought of someone. If Ye Shengnan had met this person, everything would be clear.

“Is the gentleman you’re talking about surnamed Qian?”

Ye Shengnan nodded and said affirmatively, “That’s right. His surname is Qian! He only told me his surname. No one else in the village knows!”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he understood.

“If his surname is Qian, that makes sense!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she knew that there must be something unknown to her.

She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that it couldn’t be revealed.

Luo Cheng seemed to have guessed Li Xiaoran’s thoughts and looked over.

“Xiaoran, I’ll tell you about this in the future!”

Li Xiaoran nodded to show that she understood.

On the other side, after Ye Shengnan confirmed Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran’s identities, she didn’t hide anything and told them what she knew about the coal mine.

It turned out that this coal mine had only been mined in the past three years.

In the beginning, no one in the village knew about this. A rich businessman suddenly came over and bought some mountains and wasteland. Then, he built a huge house.

In the first year, this rich businessman was as secretive as his place of residence. He didn’t let anyone get close to him.

A year later, there was a sudden bang one day, and then the entire village felt the tremor.

At this point, things couldn’t be hidden anymore.

Only then did the rich businessman appear. He said that he had discovered a coal mine and was mining it.

If there were able-bodied men in the village, they could go to this rich businessman’s coal mine to dig coal to earn money.

Ye Shengnan’s father actually wanted to go, but he had always been sick and tired.

Although the salary for digging coal was high, it was also very dangerous.

Actually, the Ye family had let Ye Shengnan dress up as a boy all these years because they wanted her to dig coal in the coal mine to earn money.

However, Ye Shengnan was petite and didn’t have much strength, so the people in the coal mine didn’t accept her.

It was also because of this that Ye Shengnan avoided being sent to dig coal.

However, after avoiding a calamity, another incident happened.

That rich businessman found out from somewhere that Ye Shengnan was actually a girl and said that he wanted Ye Shengnan to be his son’s child bride..
