At the same time, Luo Cheng, who was in the study, accidentally broke a teacup. He was as shocked as Li Xiaoran.

“How did this happen? When I left, Father was clearly fine! He had a big appetite and was very energetic. Why did his health suddenly deteriorate?”

“I don’t know what exactly happened! My father asked us to send thank-you gifts to Mr. Luo because he wanted us to bring this news over and let Luo Cheng make plans early! The mine is no longer a secret. Mr. Luo, you have to know that many people are eyeing this place!” Duan Kaiyuan said.

“How long are you two planning to stay here?” Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked.

“You’re not leaving?” Li Xiaoran looked at Duan Sha in shock. “Do your parents know about this?”

“Of course they know! If they didn’t know, why would they ask my second brother to send me over?! Even my second brother came here with me to settle down. My father said that the capital will become very dangerous in the coming period of time. Although there’s also the mine and it will cause a lot of trouble, Sichuan will be safer! My father said that with Luo Cheng around, Sichuan won’t be in great danger! It’ll be much safer for us siblings to live here than in the capital!” Duan Sha didn’t hide anything and told them their family’s plan.

“Mr. Luo and I really thank you guys for thinking so highly of us!” Li Xiaoran said in amusement, “By the way, have you siblings found a place to stay?”

Duan Sha said with a smile, “Not yet, but I heard that Mr. Luo and the consort have built a food street where there’s a shop in front and a house behind. My second brother and I plan to buy a house with a shop, but we don’t know where to start!”

Li Xiaoran laughed when she heard Duan Sha’s words.

“To have designs on my food street, you guys are quite discerning! But let me tell you, if you really buy a house on this food street, you can only sell food in the shop. Moreover, the food you sell can’t be the same as others!”

“For example, if all three families want to sell noodles, and it’s the same kind of noodles, we’ll let these three noodle shops compete. We’ll let whoever is delicious do the business! If you buy a shop, you have to run a food business and accept challenges from people who also run this kind of business. Under such circumstances, are you sure you still want to buy it?”

Duan Sha laughed when she heard this.

“Don’t worry! We have no problem with that! The Duan family also has specialties! The snacks our family makes are superb. You’ll know when you try them in the future!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “You brought people who can make snacks?”

“That’s right! We brought them! After all, we have to find a way to earn money,” Duan Sha said.

Duan Kaiyuan’s words were similar to Duan Sha’s, but there was something Duan Sha didn’t know about.

“For some reason, the fourth prince suddenly expressed his intention to take my sister in as his consort. My father was unwilling to let my sister marry the fourth prince and only wanted her to live a simpler life, so he rejected the fourth prince’s suggestion on the grounds that my sister hadn’t fully recovered and had to go to Sichuan to ask the consort to continue her treatment.”

“In order not to let anything happen, my father and grandfather discussed for the entire night and decided to let me bring my sister to Sichuan. Firstly, it’s to give Mr. Luo a message, and secondly, it’s to avoid the drama in the capital and let my sister live a simple life!”

When Luo Cheng heard Duan Kaiyuan’s words, he was a little envious.

The Duan siblings were undoubtedly happy. At least, they had a family to plan things for them.

However, the envy was only temporary. Thinking of his current life, Luo Cheng felt gratified as well.

Although he wasn’t fated with his blood-related family, having a lover who treated him sincerely was enough for him!

It was impossible to have everything. It was already a blessing for him to have true love and a good wife.

Luo Cheng said, “In that case, you two can stay! As for the house and shop on the food street, they’re built now, so tomorrow, I’ll ask Ziyang to bring you two to take a look. Choose a house you like and buy it! However, let me tell you in advance that there won’t be any discount on the price of the shop and house.

After all, we have to sell the house and shop to earn some money!”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Luo. We’ll pay as much as we should!” Duan Kaiyuan said.

With that, Luo Cheng brought Duan Kaiyuan to the courtyard in front.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran and Duan Sha had also finished talking about serious matters and were chatting about the gossip in the capital.

Duan Sha thought of something and said, “Do you know? Meng Yan did something big in the capital and shocked many people!”

“Meng Yan? What about her? She should be getting married soon! ” Li Xiaoran thought of her good friend in the capital and asked with concern.

After returning to Sichuan, although she had also written one or two letters to Meng Yan and Meng Yan had replied, there was no news of her after that.

At that time, Li Xiaoran was overwrought over Shatai Village’s matter, so she didn’t have the energy to think about matters in the capital.

When she heard Duan Sha’s words, Li Xiaoran immediately remembered this matter, so she asked.

“Not long after you left, Meng Yan’s marriage was settled! As she was preparing for the marriage, a princess of the royal family took a fancy to Ma Chongshan and forced Meng Yan to cancel the engagement. She’s a famous femme fatale in the capital, so she naturally wouldn’t agree to that princess’s request. In the end, that princess began to use tricks to deal with Meng Yan. First, there was a problem with Meng Yan’s business. Then, Ma Chongshan received an imperial decree from the emperor!” Duan Sha explained the matter.

“What? Is the king crazy? They were already engaged, so how could he issue an imperial decree?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

“At that time, the emperor was already mentally unstable, so the imperial decree for the marriage was written by the people around him and stamped with the jade seal!” Duan Sha said.

When Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng heard this, they exchanged looks.

They all understood that someone had used the emperor’s name to forge an imperial edict..
