Chapter 108

108 What a Coincidence

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at Madam Qin.

“What if this is true? Aren’t you worried that your daughter will be in danger? Even if it’s true that she ran away from home, it’s very likely that Miss Qin, a weak woman, was taken away and she’s in danger!”

When Madam Qin heard Li Xiaoran’s words, her expression immediately changed.

!!

Old Master Qin’s expression changed as well, but his eyes were filled with worry.

Sensing the change in their emotions, Li Xiaoran already knew what to do.

As expected, there was a huge problem with Madam Qin.

“Can you tell me what happened in detail?” Old Master Qin asked after calming down.

Li Xiaoran nodded and told him about Qin Meizhen’s appearance at the noodle stall.

She emphasized the fact that Qin Meizhen had tripped her.

While talking about these things, Li Xiaoran focused on sensing Madam Qin’s emotions.

As Li Xiaoran explained, Madam Qin’s emotions became more and more unstable.

On the surface, she looked worried, but she was furious.

At this moment, Mrs. Qin was secretly resentful. It wasn’t easy for her to find a perfect excuse to get rid of Qin Meizhen, but she didn’t expect someone to come out of nowhere.

Great. The trap she’d worked so hard to set up was about to be ruined by these two.

Qin Meizhen was lucky to have someone willing to help her.

Things really didn’t go as planned!

After Old Master Qin found out about this, he was very grateful towards Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng. At the same time, he was really worried about his daughter’s safety. He quickly sent people to chase in the direction Li Xiaoran had mentioned.

Of course, Old Master Qin also gave 200 taels of silver to Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng, the two benefactors who came to report the news, to repay the couple’s kindness.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran didn’t refuse. Instead, she accepted the silver with a happy expression and bade farewell.

When Madam Qin saw Li Xiaoran’s greedy expression, she looked grateful on the surface, but her eyes were filled with disdain.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng walked out of the Qin family’s home and got into the carriage.

“Where are we going next?” Luo Cheng asked.

“Next, please help me keep an eye on Madam Qin! See who Madam Qin has met with!” Li Xiaoran said with a smile.

“How are you so sure that Madam Qin will go out of the Qin family’s home to see someone and not call someone to the Qin family’s home? Or perhaps Madam Qin can get her trusted aide to do something. There’s no need to come out personally!” Luo Cheng said these possibilities.

“No, Madam Qin will definitely leave the residence!” Li Xiaoran said firmly.

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and thought of Li Xiaoran’s ability. In the end, he nodded.

“Alright, I’ll get someone to keep an eye on her!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and suddenly thought of something. She said, “Anyway, we’ll be staying in town for a few days. Why don’t you accompany me to the market?”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, let’s see if there are any houses for sale in this town. If there’s anything suitable, we can buy it!”

Just like that, the two of them went about their business.

But before that, Luo Cheng had to return the carriage.

While returning the carriage, Luo Cheng first arranged for Li Xiaoran’s request.

After that, the two of them went to the most lively market in Golden Sun Town.

She had to admit, the town market was bustling.

Many people sold things, and many people bought things.

If not for Luo Cheng following beside her and pulling Li Xiaoran along, Li Xiaoran would definitely have been squeezed away.

Initially, Li Xiaoran wanted to see if there was anything special, but it seemed that they were all the same. In the end, she didn’t buy anything.

Li Xiaoran looked around and shook her head. “The things in this town are a little more expensive than those of other places! It’s not worth it to buy things here!”

“You also know that things are more expensive here?” Luo Cheng asked curiously.

“That’s right! Didn’t we go to the market when we went shopping previously? I’ve asked and remembered everything!” Li Xiaoran said.

Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran in surprise. He really didn’t notice that Li Xiaoran had done this.

“The shop and house in front seem to be for sale. Let’s go take a look!” Li Xiaoran had good eyesight and saw the wooden sign for sale from afar, so she asked happily.

Luo Cheng nodded and followed Li Xiaoran.

However, after the two of them went in to take a look, they walked out with regretful expressions.

“Sigh, this shop isn’t bad, but the house at the back isn’t good!” Li Xiaoran said regretfully.

“It’s okay, let’s look for more! Buying a house isn’t something that can be done overnight. We have to take it slow! Let’s go to the brokerage house later! We might be able to find a suitable one!” Luo Cheng said calmly.

“Yes, that’s true!” Li Xiaoran nodded and stopped thinking about this.

On the Qin Manor’s side, even if Old Master Qin sent people to save Qin Meizhen, he wasn’t idle.

After Li Xiaoran and the others left, Old Master Qin quickly left too.

After she sent Old Master Qin off, the worried expression on Madam Qin’s face disappeared and her expression darkened.

Madam Qin thought about it calmly and arranged the matters at home. Then, she quietly changed her clothes and left with an old woman.

After some time, Li Xiaoran was also tired.

Coincidentally, there was a teahouse not far ahead. Luo Cheng brought Li Xiaoran directly to the second floor and asked for a private room.

After ordering two pots of tea and some refreshments, they sat by the window to rest.

Soon, everything was served. Luo Cheng sent a cup of flower tea to Li Xiaoran.

“You look thirsty. Drink some tea to moisten your throat first!”

Li Xiaoran nodded and took the tea to drink.

Because it was a little hot, Li Xiaoran could only drink it in small sips.

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Li Xiaoran, making her choke on the tea she had just drunk.

“What’s going on? Why are you so careless?!” Luo Cheng frowned slightly.

Li Xiaoran grabbed Luo Cheng’s sleeve and pulled him away from the window.

“Madam Qin is here!”

These words stunned Luo Cheng. Then, he asked, “You sure you’re not mistaken?!”

“No, I saw her enter the teahouse!” Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and said.

At that moment, there was a commotion outside.

A familiar voice answered.

“There’s no one in the Green Cloud Room, right?”

“Yes, the Green Cloud Room is still empty today!” The waiter quickly replied, “Do you want to go to the Green Cloud Room?”

“Yes, we’ll go to the Green Cloud Room!” said the familiar voice.

Soon, there was the sound of a door opening in the private room next door, and she walked in.
